The seemingly endless stream of teases for Valve’s Team Fortress 2 Engineer update have come to an elating halt. It’s finally out and chock full of content in typical Valve fashion. Oh, and it also gives players new ways to put their scrap metal to use.

Among the highlights is a Combat Mini-Sentry, which spawn 4 times as fast as a regular Sentry. In order to build and deploy these mini killing machines, players are required to equip the Gunslinger — a mechanical arm attachment that replaces the Engineer’s trusty wrench.

Those on the offensive can equip the newly-added Frontier Justice, which replaces the Engineer’s shotgun. This, combined with the Gunslinger allows for a devastating combo. The Justice will deliver two guaranteed crits for every foe your sentry guns down, or one crit for each kill assist.

Also included are four all-new maps, namely Thunder Mountain, Hightower, Upward and ColdFront. We’ve only scratched the surface of this massive update, folks. Hit the break for a full recap of the additions. Or, alternatively, launch Steam and start playing.
