Four new Engineer skills: Twin Guns, a fuel-powered Jetpack that scorches the ground, a Personal Shield that moves with you, and a Missile Turret. Vanilla skills untouched.EngiArsenal
Four new skills for the Engineer. They show up as extra choices in his loadout, so all of his normal skills are still there and you can mix and match.
The skills
Twin Guns (primary) Instead of lobbing bouncing grenades, the Engineer opens up with both arm cannons, alternating left and right like his turrets do. 70% damage per shot, fast fire rate, tight accuracy and no recoil kick. It sounds and looks like real gunfire, with small muzzle flashes and thin tracers.
Jetpack (secondary) Hold the button to fly. You rise while you hold it and can steer in any direction. A fuel bar under your crosshair drains while you fly and fills back up a moment after you stop (the number on the skill icon shows it too). While you're in the air your exhaust blasts the ground under you in a cone, burning and igniting any enemies down there. The higher you fly the wider the cone gets, until you're too high for it to reach.
Fall damage still counts, but if you're about to land hard and have fuel left, the jetpack fires on its own and slows you down. Run the tank dry and you take the fall.
Personal Shield (utility) A small version of the Bubble Shield that wraps around you and moves with you. For 8 seconds it destroys enemy projectiles that hit it and blocks half of the damage you take.
TR58 Missile Turret (special) Places a turret just like the normal one, except it fires homing missiles instead of bullets. It still inherits all your items.
Who needs it
Everyone in the lobby. These are new skills, so every player's game needs to know about them.
