Abilities

Weapon upgrades - GW1

MechanicUpgrade

Better Air Compression

Better air compression releases tension in the reload thingy... Whatever, it's just faster.

More Nuts & Bolts

Added some extra Nuts & Bolts from around town to increase ammo capacity.

Harder Nuts & Bolts

Nuts & Bolts are harder causing more damage. How they got harder we don't exactly know.

Strategies

With

The Mechanic's Air Gun is fully automatic, making it ideal for players who either struggle to lead their shots or are otherwise more comfortable with automatic weapons. The Air Gun has two advantages over the Concrete Launcher, it has a longer range and its shots travel straight forward, allowing you to attack enemies from longer distances without the need to angle your shots, second, it allows you to protect the teleporter from its main threat, drone strikes, by shooting down the drones before they can attack without giving them much chance at dodging your shots, allowing you to deny the plant team from cutting off your team's logistical advantage without actively assaulting the teleporter. However, bear in mind that the Mechanic has a downside: recoil. His shots have recoil that almost matches an Imps, so remember to aim accordingly and take into account recoil.

Against

The Mechanic can be an absolute pain in the butt for Plants, because of the weapon's longer range and straight-forward shots, which will make him a very difficult opponent to vanquish. Although he has the highest rate of fire of all the Engineer variants, you will always use an effective Plant character, such as the Sun Pharaoh or the Plasma Pea, to vanquish him without letting him to quickly vanquish you with his Air Gun.

Trivia

  • His name is Al, as shown by his name tag.
    • This means that he is "Mechanic Al", a pun on the word "mechanical".
    • He is one of the only four Engineers to have an actual name, the others being Engineer, AC Perry and the Plumber, whose names are Gene, Perry, and Bob, respectively.
  • He is the only Engineer variant in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare that does not deal splash damage. Instead, his primary weapon is automatic.
  • He wears a racing toolbox as a hat, a real mechanic's shirt and the weapon has a racing flag. It is the reason why this variant of Engineer is racing-themed.
  • His rate of fire was slightly increased in the Legends of the Lawn DLC to compensate for its lack of splash damage.
