{{main|Engineer (6v6)}}

In the standard [[6v6]] format, Engineer is an [[offclass]] on most maps, used primarily to defend last on most 5CP maps. When pushed back to the last point, a Scout or Soldier will often switch to Engineer and build a Sentry Gun to soak up damage and delay the enemy ÜberCharge - once it runs out, his team can counterattack. If his Sentry goes down, he will generally switch back to his main class and attempt to clean up damaged enemies.
It is important to note that a well-placed Sentry will often prevent the other team from pushing in with a Kritzkrieg ÜberCharge, as it provides no defensive bonus, and the Engineer's buildings are unaffected by critical hits.
