Editing Engineer (Highlander) (section)

=== On Offense ===
In most cases, offensive engineering requires use of the Gunslinger.  The Engineer on offense is responsible for keeping the team's flank clear and for making sure his fellow teammates on the flank are healthy and stocked with ammo.  Efficient and frequent use of sentries and dispensers is vital for preventing an enemy [[Soldier]] or [[Scout]] from getting behind the team and wreaking havoc. The best Engineers pair proper building management with strong deathmatch skill to fortify any area they enter with their teammates and make sure that once ground is won, it is not lost.

During payload offense, one of the Engineer's primary goals is to push the payload cart. Most teams designate their Engineer and their Scout to cart pushing, maximising push time at x3. Engineer's should try to keep teleporters up as well, as the walk from respawn to the cart can sometimes be very long. Engineer's should also try to keep minisentries down at all times to increase damage output or to cover a flank. Weapons used by the Engineer on offense, whether in [[5CP]], [[Payload]] or [[King of the Hill]], vary and are often up to the engineer. However, most of the time, the stock shotgun is a strong choice on offense. The Short Circuit, Wrangler and Pistol are usually selected according to the map type and objective. For example, a lot of Engineers run the Short Circuit on Payload offense to block spam while pushing the cart, which provides them with metal. On the other hand, a lot of Engineers use the Wrangler or the Pistol on 5CP / KOTH maps, where extra damage and firepower is necessary.
