While usually an ability that is exclusive to Impostors, Engineers are also able to travel through vents. However, Engineers can only stay in a vent for a limited time and must wait for a period of time before they can use another vent. Engineers cannot travel through vents while Comms Sabotaged is active. Similar to Impostors, they also cannot enter a vent if the vent is being used for Clean Vent (however, this does not prevent the Engineer from using the vent system said vent is connected to).
In the Hide n Seek game mode, the Engineer's ability is renamed to 'Hide'. During the game, an Engineer can perform a limited number of vents depending on game settings determined by the host.
Options[]
Options for the role can be set in the lobby options.
