About This Content

THE MECHANIC WHO BUILDS THINGS THAT SHOOT

Before the outbreak she ran a repair shop. Now she welds scrap into turrets. The Engineer fights from the back line, and her damage doesn't depend on who's still standing: once the turret is up, the horde keeps taking fire.

A NEW HERO FOR YOUR ROSTER

This DLC adds the Engineer to your heroes. You still fight with a team of 3, a leader up front and two allies behind, and you pick who goes in on the Team tab. Outlaw, Scout and Nurse stay on your roster, so nothing you've built is lost.

HER 6 SKILLS

  • Scrap Turret: builds a turret in front of the line that shoots the horde for 8 seconds.

  • Nail Mine: the first zombie to step on it takes area damage and slows down.

  • Quick Weld: welds a shield worth 15% of max health onto whoever is up front.

  • Overload: the turret fires twice as fast for 4 seconds. With no turret up, she speeds up instead.

  • Recon Drone: the whole team gets +10% crit chance for 10 seconds.

  • Barricade: a wall of junk that holds the horde for 3 seconds while they beat on it.

Like every hero, she unlocks her skills by leveling up her own skill tree, and you choose which ones to equip.

HER GEAR

A wrench as her weapon and a toolbox in the off-hand, 11 tiers each, from a rusty wrench all the way up to a legendary hydraulic one. This gear only drops once she's on your roster.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Some of the game's 2D art (character sprites, scenery, item icons and store artwork) was created with the help of generative AI image tools, then curated, edited and integrated by the team. Parts of the game's code were written with AI assistance under developer direction. All AI-assisted content was reviewed by the developers. The game does NOT generate AI content at runtime and does NOT connect to any external AI service.
