The Scavenger Satchel
Scavenger Satchel
Engineer – Primary Slot
Level 8 Metal Belt
+50 maximum metal
Replaces shotgun
The Scavenger Satchel is a small, leather satchel that winds around the Engineer’s belt. A few bumper stickers are labelled upon it. The zip is open and some nuts and bolts are visible inside.
The Engineer was once a young boy, building and repairing things like no one else his age could. In his youth, he had a small satchel, in which he carried bits of metal or other interesting things he could one day make an invention out of. He even kept some of the blueprints he designed that would later become reality.
As the Engineer grew up, he forgot about his satchel, more interested in shotguns. He went off to fight some war, building sentries and dispensers and such. But every so often, he found he just didn’t have enough metal. He would always run out of spare parts, needed for upgrading the sentry or finishing up a dispenser. He threw down his shotgun in frustation after failing to repair a teleporter and stormed off for a break.
He went back home to think up a solution… and there he found his satchel. His precious satchel. How he had neglected it. He forgot about his shotgun, picked up his lost friend and went to rejoin the fight.
Taunts: Same as the Shotgun taunt (the Engineer dances in a western style, while wooing loudly).
Notes:
No shotgun, but more metal. Worth a trade?
This is the defensive choice… in a way. You can build a sentry and a dispenser without having to go find any metal boxes, as well as finding it easier to upgrade and repair buildings under pressure. However, no shotgun. Ow.
No other comments except the satchel was upset when he was left behind. ;_;
Basic Version:
= Equipping the Scavenger Satchel increases the maximum amount of metal to 250.
= The Scavenger Satchel replaces the shotgun.

I like this a lot. I think I’d probably stick with the shotgun just because I tend to build my gear near metal sources, but this could definitely come in handy when you need to set up a quick defense.
