Four new Engineer skills: overheating Twin Guns, a fuel-powered Jetpack that scorches the ground, an exploding Personal Shield, and a Cannon 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) The Engineer opens up with both arm cannons, alternating left and right. 70% damage per shot, fast fire rate, tight accuracy and no recoil kick, with small muzzle flashes and a real gunshot sound. Every shot builds heat. Stop shooting for a moment and it cools down, but if you max it out the guns jam with a burst of steam and lock up until they've cooled all the way back down, which takes longer than normal cooling. While they're jammed, smoke puffs out of both cannons and pulling the trigger only gives you a dry click.
Jetpack (secondary) Hold the button to fly. You rise while you hold it and can steer in any direction. Fuel only refills once you're back on the ground, so plan your landings. While you're within 5 meters of the ground your exhaust blasts it in a cone, burning and igniting any enemies down there. 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.
Personal Shield (utility) A small version of the Bubble Shield that wraps around you and moves with you for 8 seconds. It soaks up damage equal to half your max health and eats enemy projectiles that hit it. If it takes too much and breaks, it pulses for a moment and then explodes for 250% damage around you. You can't put up a second one while the first is still up.
TR58 Cannon Turret (special) Places a turret just like the normal one, except it fires slow, heavy explosive shells instead of bullets. The shells fly straight, so fast enemies can dodge them. It still inherits all your items.
The HUD
Three small dotted arcs wrap around your crosshair: fuel on the right, gun heat on the left, and shield health underneath. Each one only shows up when it matters and fades away when it's full or not in use. Heat flashes red when you overheat.
Who needs it
Everyone in the lobby. These are new skills, so every player's game needs to know about them.

Changelog
1.2.3
- Really fixed the heat arc's last dot. It lights up the moment the guns overheat, then the dots go out one by one as they cool
1.2.2
- The heat arc now fills its last dot right when the guns overheat
- Overheating plays a jam sound, puffs smoke out of both cannons, and gives a dry click if you keep pulling the trigger
1.2.1
- Fixed the Personal Shield hum looping forever after the shield popped. It now starts when the bubble goes up and stops when it goes away
1.2.0
- Twin Guns overheat. Heat builds as you shoot, and maxing it out locks the guns until they fully cool
- Jetpack burn only reaches 5 meters down, and fuel only refills on the ground
- Personal Shield now has its own health (50% of yours). When it breaks it pulses and explodes for 250% damage
- Personal Shield can't be used again while it's up, so holding the key no longer burns both charges
- Missile Turret is now the Cannon Turret: slow, heavy shells that fly straight and can miss
- New HUD: fuel, heat and shield health are small arcs around the crosshair that fade out when not needed
- Old settings are updated automatically and leftover ones are cleaned out
1.1.1
- Twin Guns use smaller, dimmer gunfire effects instead of the turret's big energy shots
- Twin Guns sound like a gun now, and the sound can be changed in the config
1.1.0
- Twin Guns are much more accurate and no longer kick the camera
- Fall damage is back. Instead, the jetpack auto brakes before a hard landing if you have fuel left
- Fuel bar on screen under the crosshair
- Personal Shield bubble is smaller and centered on you
1.0.1
- Fixed the skills not showing up in the loadout. The game couldn't find the Engineer's files because they were looked up by the wrong name
1.0.0
- First release, built for Risk of Rain 2 1.5 (Hallowed Concepts)
