Okay, we all know that the Engineer is still awaiting an update and I know we're all anxious. So i have an idea for a possible weapon for our beloved Engie

"The Hammer" (or some other creative name)

+ Requires 25% less metal to upgrade buildables (Upgrades and builds items faster)

- 25 or 50% less damage dealt

The weapon can also feature a taunt kill where the Engineer throws the hammer in a Hammer Bros. fashion from Super Mario Bros. or something like that.

yeah I also think the Engi is in desperate need of an update. Your idea on a melee weapon replacement for the wrench is great. I think that the Engi should also have replacements for the Primary and Secondary weapon slots.

I think they're going to pull a fast one and not update the engineer, just because everyone is expecting them to.

I think that's a great idea. Also, i think the default shotty should be replaced with an SMG similar to what the Sniper has or a Carbine-like weapon kinda like the M4A1 from CS/CSS. The weapon replacement for the pistol should be something like they Spy's revolver.

Lol here's another idea but i think it's too much

Metal Shooter
+Uses metal to launch balls of metal
+It Bounces so it can bounce off walls and stuff
+(I think)Has a taunt kill where he shoots a ball in his hand and punches with it.

-25-50 metal
-Does 1 bar of damage against machines
-Can bounce back like a ball and hit other people
-Replaces shotgun.

Or here's another one. A nail gun, you know like the old team fortress? He can use it to upgrade buildables from long distances.

Dude, keep in mind that this is a cartoonish game with only modern day-era weapons. It would take forever just to make a LASER for a sentry. A lvl 4 Sentry would keep the 2 chainguns, but should replace the rockets with homing missiles that do less damage than rockets.

Probably the best idea in here.

They were going to give that to the scout, it got cut. Look at the dispenser, there is a belt of nails hanging out of it. Or you can watch the original teaser.
