General

The engineer is a gadget guy, able to upgrade his weapons and build drones to fight at his side. As part of the Hunter faction, the Engineer personally uses guns to take out his enemies. However, the class is also able to create a variety of mobile robots that aid the player in various ways, including healing allies and destroying nearby foes. These drones are persistent entities, they gain levels and become more powerful just as the player does and are carried over from game to game.

• Faction: Hunter
• Style of Play: From a distance, pets, gadgets and weapon upgrades.

Drones and Bots

Drones and bots are handled differently in Hellgate. Both are robotic entities that aid the character in battle, however only the drone is persistant. Many drones can be outfitted with various sorts of equipment, this equipment remains on the drone until upgraded/removed. Bots on the other hand are temporary, they vanish 30 seconds after being summoned.
