The engineer is know for his ability to fly. He is equipped with a SMG, a pickaxe, a jetpack, and a rocket turret or cube launcher. He also has 85 hp and can reach areas in a few seconds that would take other classes much longer to reach. Usually if someone were to build a base the engineer would be best for job considering that he can will probably be the first of his squad to reach a checkpoint. If someone dose not want to build a base (in which case nobody will use it unless PERFECTLY placed) they can also fly over the wall that the enemy have seemed to placed in the middle of no where.

SMG- The gun that you will be using all the time since it is the only gun you have. It has 25 bullets in a clip and 100 bullets for reloading.

Pickaxe-As you can guess this is an item that breaks blocks and the occasional melee, which surprisingly is better than you would expect. Unlike the shovel for other classes (except the miner) this will break a block in a single swing but only one.

Turret-This item will when placed shoot targets with rockets, it only has 10 rockets but in the end it will last for a long time. When destroyed, a different one is placed, or out of ammo it will explode and create a dent in the ground. This is a good way to simulate C4 so place this on the bottom of the tall towers and yell "TTIIIMMMBEEERRR!"

Cube launcher-Don't use it, it's not worth giving up the rocket turret for this.(Pandahullu's idea) Although it can be used to help strengthen bases, so in zombie mode it could be better to use then the object that destroys it aka the rocket turret.

Believe it or not your best tactic is stealth, and if you played black ops 2 the game that everyone fusses about and tried dealing with a stealth chopper you know how this makes sense. If you still don't understand think of your self as a ninja with a gun, you can reach heights that others can't, and if you get behind your enemy it's a easy victory. In the event that you find out you want to know how to deal with a specific scenario read this

• Face to Face with a Heavy- This guy can be tough he has a minigun and all you have is an SMG, so the idea is to beat him with agility cover at this point is your best friend and your best option is to keep hiding until you can flank him, anther idea is to make him come to you that way he has to first look for you before shooting and you get the first shot, it's those tiny seconds that determine survival, and one thing you want to remember is to aim for the head.
  
  
• Face to Face with a Sniper- The sniper is general easy, just make sure to make him think that now your not separated by 3 miles of land with nothing to hid behind, and always ALWAYS make sure that your hunting him down, not the other way around.
  
  
• Face to 3 miles away Face with a Sniper- This is a tricky but your not dealing with a "face to 3 miles away face with a Sniper and no cover" scenario just remember you have a jetpack and hid behind any cover and even dig to get to his location. Once you get to him just do the "Face to Face with a Sniper" scenario
  
  
• Face to Face with a Miner- First start your jetpack or at least get to a range his shot gun can't hit you easily then begin shooting him, easy unless he brings out that drill bazooka thing in which case focus more on trying to avoid the bullet and less on shooting him, when he misses that's your chance- unload onto him and walla you have a dead miner
  
  
• Face to Face with a Engineer- This is you, when meeting a enemy Engineer it all depends on: who has more ammo, who has more life, who has more fuel in your rocket, and who read this guild first. The only thing to do other than just get lucky in to outsmart and outflank him you can even lead him to an ally to help with the fight. Anther way it to place a turret, since engineers are so agile it's unlikely that anything will hit but will cause an distraction leaving him to focus and dodging rockets and to choose between shooting you or the turret. If he sets down a turret though hold that space bar and aim for the turret, this wouldn't be a choose when in the middle of the battle but it works better than you would think, as long as the other engineer doesn't get a bull's-eye on you, you should be fine.
  
  
• An enemy hole in the ground- don't go in it unless you plan on traveling to anther place with it, remember this is far off your element.
  
  
• Zombie found you- RUN! Too much health to fight him.
  
  
• Explosive needed- Use the rocket turret, no you need it to fire you can just place it where you need the explosion and ether let it die off or the faster way place explosion turret causing the other one to self destruct
  
  
• Long range battle- SCREW RANGE this gun can hit an enemy from across the map, it just won't have lot of bullets hitting the target, just one thing to remember- fire one bullet at a time make it so that only one or two bullets will come out every time you click.

Just remember your a ninja with a gun if you can get someone from behind, be patient sneak up on your enemy. if someone is walking toward you but they don't see you hide then set up an ambush, and take the higher ground. Remember aim for the head it's easy then it looks and build things, if you have a sniper on your tail start building.

If you have any tips put them in the comments and if I deem it good enough I'll put it in here.

• (Pandahullu)- The cube launcher is actually good for strengthening bases in zombie mode, so it's not that unless after all.
  
  
• (BlingieThingie)- Using the jetpack in zombie mode you can loop the map by getting the ammo packs and avoid the zombie while doing so, but do to the fact that zombies will be spread around the map unless you are the last human this trick is very dangerous.
  
  
• (cheesecakeonfire)- BE careful in zombie mode with turrets, when you have a base (mainly high ones) it can easily be a move that means your end of your base.
  
  
• ([AoS]Dragonborne)-the engineer is good at distractions, if you want to and might need to so you can have a miner a commando and a few snipers to come in and beat the crap out of the enemy, but in zombie mode you generally want to be near the commandos. since they can defend you while you build a base
