Engineer Update: Day Three

Quick: Name someone whose body of work is a testament to the indomitability of the human spirit; whose strength and moral guidance informs your every decision; and who starred in one of the Police Academy movies.

Okay, and who isn’t Steve Gutenberg.

Or the guy who fooled crooks into thinking he was a police car by making police car noises. Okay, now go!

Did you guess Hightower? Oh thank God, because that’s what we called our new Payload map, and it is way too late to change it to Sweetchuck. Even though, now that we think about it, that’s a much better name that you should seriously consider just calling it anyhow. Way to name maps, Brandon.

Also: wrenches! Hey, everybody remember those? Because Day Three of the Engineer Update has a whole new batch of them—plus a community-made surprise*.

*This isn’t the only melee slot item the Engineer’s getting…just a bonus!
