Gear Head and Objective Repairs?


(R_Shackelford) #1

Does anyone know if the Gear Head ability increases the speed of repairing objectives? I know the description says it’s just for mines, turrets, and MG nests, but the description for Nerves of Steel only says it boosts HE disarms, but I’m pretty sure it also boosts de-hacking.

Make an offline game and try for yourself :slight_smile:

If I remember correctly, NO.
You still repair just a freaking slowly as ever, while hoping that a keen or stealthy enemy does’t run through your rear-end.

It’s nice to be able to throw up turrets in the blink of an eye, though. Makes the invested points totally worth it for me. :slight_smile:

Oh definitely. I use it on all my Engineers. I’ve just got one point left to use for my SuperMedic, and I want to pick something that would be objective-centric if I have to switch to another class. I already have Nerves of Steel, and both Upgrade and Firewall CP. If Gear Head doesn’t boost objective repairs, I’ll probably just get Caltrops.

Maybe you want to go for a flashbang. It really helps when your team gets stuck somewhere like being spawncamped on CC. Thats one skill I often miss to see in this game.
