Engineer exists because Battlefield has vehicles. Every tank, helicopter and transport on the field is either kept alive by a friendly Engineer or taken apart by an enemy one. The class carries the launchers and the mines, and its Repair Tool is a blowtorch that fixes friendly vehicles and can be used against enemy ones at close range. Flak Jacket makes it the class best suited to the areas where explosives land, which on most maps is wherever the Engineer is standing.
The SMG bonus points at the class’s second job: close-quarters work around and inside vehicles, where hip fire matters more than range.

On Mirak Valley, New Sobek City, Liberation Peak and Operation Firestorm the Engineer is the most important player in the squad. Stay with the armour, repair between engagements, mine the intersections and corners that enemy tanks have to use, and carry anti-air on the maps where jets and helicopters decide the round. On the infantry-only maps the class is weaker: its gadgets have no targets and the trait is its main value.
Support players keep the Engineer in launcher ammunition; an Engineer without a Support behind them runs dry after two or three shots.
