Perhaps the drillbit can "split" open to form a 3-fingered "hand" when not being used as a weapon?
A bit like the end of this vehicle...

Not a bad idea, but that probably wouldn't be easy for the modeler.

The creator of this work does not need to care about these things, all the things you are worried about are ALWAYS handled by valve. This discussion is unnecessary

Thank you, finally someone realizes that nothing that is made on the workshop and added to the game is ever truly made by the community. Look at what they did to EOTL...

I think it should be a seconday to be combined wit the gunslinger, I mean it would possibly make sense.

i would say that it builds buildings alot faster then the jag of course it would only deal like 5 dmg cause its only spinning the whole time
so its like a flamethrower just less dmg and does like 10 dmg in 0.6 sec
so its like the short circuit kind of

Replace in weapon slot 2 and it makes the building construct 50-100% faster.

How about it could be a secondary, and it shoots out a high-damage drill that penetrates enemies, with a recharge time? Maybe it could also apply bleed to enemies it hits? Also, maybe it could have increased damage on enemy buildings, and if it destroys an enemy building, it instantly recharges and gives you metal. Just riding off the quote "Better suited for destruction than constrution, better make it suit its purpose."

Edit: This probably needs balance. No random critical hits. (kappa)

Great Idea but needs more down sides than no random critz. What about 15% slower fire rate and one more thing?

Well reduced fire rate wouldn't do anything, becuase the stats I gave it has a recharge time. Maybe it has to charge before you fire it, like the cow mangler can do? Also it should be able to be reflected.

Seriously, stop giving this stats. You know Valve doesnt even read these, right?

It's still fun to think about. Besides, I think they're saying what Valve might do.

Indeed

I'd just combine it with the Gunslinger..press a certain button and the Engineer takes off the drill,then screws on the hand..then press it again to put the drill back on. Make sense?

Can't argue with that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
