Role

Engineers are important members of their team, using their repair tool to make ammo boxes for their team, and building turrets to kill enemies and block areas, while using their machine guns to mow down any enemies they encounter. Engineers are most important in objective-based game modes where their turrets allow them to easily hold off enemies, or even hack and take control of enemy turrets.

Tips

• Engineers should watch out for Marksmen when repairing or building a turret since they can't move while they're doing it.
• In the campaign, like its Killzone 2 counterpart, the Helghast Engineers actually function as flamethrower units.
  • The only differences between them is that the Engeneers does not have the oil tanks in the back and some color changes on the outfit.
