The Engineer Bible: A Guide to Playing the Engineer Class in TF2 @EngineerApostles

EngineerApostles We don't claim to be the best, we just claim to know what the hell we're doing.

The Engineer Bible is exactly what it's name sounds like. It's a guide to the Engineer Class in TF2, covering everything from the very basics to offensive and defensive engineering, class matchups, weapons tips, and sentry jumping.

The guide came into being about a year ago when Problem founded the Engineer Apostles with several other notable Engineers in the TF2 community, including Gamemaster, and Shallow (aka notvlog). The Engineer Apostles are meant to be an ongoing community of Engineers that aim to educate the TF2 Community about playing the Engineer class through videos and tutorials.

Over time, the group accumulated a large number of tips and footage from several different Engineers in the community. A year later, the guide has finally been finished. The Engineer Apostles proudly present the Engineer Bible. We hope you enjoy it.

OUTDATED: W+M2 = Hot Air TF2 Pyro Guide by Magnetro

EngineerApostles 2023-11-11 | This is an archival upload of Magentro's classic "W+M2 = Hot Air", featuring Don Newman, Huey Lewis, and a host of other talented Pyro players from an older era of TF2 players. While a lot of information in here is very, very outdated, it's still a classic. It was an enormous influence on us making The Engineer Bible - and seeing as it's been taken down since, we've gone ahead and reuploaded it.

EngineerApostles 2014-06-14 | Using your buildings as stepping stones to reach restricted areas is well know. But what if we told you that you could take said buildings along with you ?

Music used:
Isaac Hayes - Theme from Shaft
