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 Hide n Seek, the ability is called Hide and there is a limited amount of vents an Engineer can do which depends on game settings determined by the host.

Options[]

Options for the role can be set in the lobby options.

Probability
The number and chance of a Crewmate to have the Engineer role.
Vent Use Cooldown
How long until the Engineer can use another vent after traveling through one already.
Max Time In Vents

  • The Engineer is the only role that has two different names for the same ability depending on the game mode. 'Vent' is called 'Hide' in Hide n Seek.
