The HECU Engineer is an HECU class introduced in Half-Life: Uplink and formally introduced as an ally in Half-Life: Opposing Force.
Overview
- The Engineer is equipped with the tools necessary to adapt to changing situations in the field,[3] mostly by cutting through sealed doors or floor grates with his welding torch. To have him using his torch, he has to be led to the target door, although he sometimes starts working without being ordered when close enough to the door. He wears special goggles to protect his eyes from the welding torch's light.
- Like a regular soldier, the Engineer is also capable of fighting with his Desert Eagle.
- Keeping an Engineer alive is very important when only one is available to clear the path, as the mission may fail if the Engineer is killed.
- One should also be careful not to allow the torch fuel tank to sustain damage. If the canister is pierced, it is likely to explode.[3]
- Engineers have been known to light torches using their cigarette.
- The Opposing Force Engineer is first introduced during the training chapter, Boot Camp, during the "Squad Training" exercise.
