Engineer

Engineer Division

Battalion: Research and Development (Led by Chief of Development Baker & Deputy Chief of Development Bob)

Leader: O1 Mannerheim

Requirements: SPC+ or Level 30+

Description: Sporting an orange jumpsuit and white hardhat, the Lambda Engineers specialize in building defenses and structures to assist the team in holding key positions. The Engineer serves as both a powerful defense and support class, being equipped with tools that will allow them to scrap friendly vehicles, hack enemy Rollermines & Manhacks to turn them against the enemy. In addition, Engineers have the ability to craft vehicles and other weapons or tools that can be shared with the team.

Background Lore

"The Resistance wouldn’t be in the position they are in now, without the efforts of their R&D Company. Some of them are noted to be former Black Mesa personnel, however this kind of information has been kept under heavy guard in order to protect them from the Combine’s sights, as well as prevent any tension that could be caused by those who blame Black Mesa for the 7 Hour War. The R&D department is very multi-disciplinary and covers several scientific fields, it’d be difficult to count them all.

There are rumors among the Combine that the Resistance has been working on exploiting the ‘loyalty’ chip system and using it to turn their augmented forces against them, but no information gained has suggested it to be true.

A testament to the ability of Resistance vehicle technicians is their ability to use nothing more than a bunch of scrap metal to fix even the most damaged of battle-recovered vehicles, to also be able to create new and entirely combat-ready ones."

Simply ask others around you or your squad to protect you while you build a fob you will be amazed by the power of asking.
