"Yes we can!" - Constructor
Nicknames: Hardhat, Engie, Truckie
Origin: Houston, Texas
As a brilliant inventor, the Constructor can build autoguns to protect himself, guard Intels or Points, or to attack an enemy Generator.
The class is used in a defensive format, as the sentry guns have limited range but do effectively guard important areas. It can be used offensively but this is something that is rarely done.
Weapons[]
The Constructor is one of only two classes can have more than one way to damage an enemy (the other is the Infiltrator). Your "actual" weapon is the Shotgun, a small 12-gauge pump-action shotgun, which is a minor version of the Runner's Scattergun. Although it is useful for infiltrator checking, it's weaker than pretty much every other weapon, so use it for self-defense.
His main means of offense is the Autogun. This heavy-caliber, lil' ol' number auto-targets enemies and fires hitscan bullets- they hit the target immediately, unlike the Shotgun, Scattergun, or Minigun.
Basic Strategy[]
- Main article: Constructor strategies
- You're best used for defense. Drop your Autogun by the Intel and run around infiltrator checking. It's tedious, but unless there's multiple Overweights, a team without a defensive backbone will always lose.
- That said, you and your Autogun are prime targets for Infiltrators. Always watch your back.
- To build your gun, you need 100 Nuts 'n' Bolts.
- If someone destroys your Autogun and your team is giving you backup, just drop another one. Nuts 'n' Bolts recharge fast enough that you should nearly always have a hundred.
- Place an auto gun, run forward, steal then intel or just atract attention in general and then lead your opponents into the range of the autogun.
- Autoguns gain health at a very high rate until they finish building (reach full health) or are destroyed (reach 0 health) this makes them an excellent distraction tool, even if it doesn't do any damage in the end.
- A destroyed Autogun can be picked up by a Constructor for an instant fifty Nuts 'n' Bolts. You can also grab the debris of a destroyed enemy autogun.
- Watch out for overweights-They are the only classes that can destroy you your autogun without a healer pal. Just pump a few shotgun shells into him while your autogun helps and you should be fine.
Trivia[]
- Your Nuts 'n' Bolts are regenerative, but you can immediately receive 100 of them by using the medicine cabinet.
- Unlike its counterpart in Team Fortress 2, the Engineer, Constructor uses long sleeves and not wear gloves in any of the hands.
