The Struction Console is a weapon for the accessory slot.

Description

Harness your engineering skills to construct buildings for your team. Don't have an engineering degree? That's alright, the console comes with a suspiciously intelligent helper. Use the 1 to 4 keys to deploy a sentry that targets enemies on its own, a dispenser that resupplies teammates, and a two-part teleporter; press reload to switch between build and destroy modes.

Buildings

Key	Building	Materials
1	Sentry	150
2	Dispenser	100
3	Teleporter entrance	50
4	Teleporter exit	50

You can have one of each standing at a time. Materials refill from ammo pickups and in your spawn room.

Placing

• Press a building's key to show its blueprint, then primary fire to place it. Secondary fire cancels; the previous and next weapon keys turn it in 15 degree steps.
• The blueprint shows when the spot is refused, and some areas of a map do not allow building.
• A building takes 2.5 s to go up. While building it starts at 1 health and rises to full, can be damaged, and does nothing.

Carrying

• With nothing selected, secondary fire on your own finished building within reach picks it up. Place it again like a blueprint; it is not paid for again.
• It goes up again in 2.5 s at full health, then climbs back through each level it had.
• A carried building is lost if you die or switch away from the console.

Destroying

• Press reload to switch to destroy mode, then a building's key to take that building down.
• Removing the Struction Console from your loadout takes down all your buildings.

Repairing and upgrading

Hit a friendly building with the Hammerench:

• Hitting one still going up speeds up its construction.
• Hitting a damaged one repairs up to 35 health, at 1 material per 3 health. Hitting one end of a Teleporter repairs both ends.
• Hitting one at full health puts up to 25 materials into its upgrade bar. At 200 it goes up a level, to a maximum of 3, and its health rises to the new maximum.
• Each upgrade takes 2 s, during which the building does nothing.

Enemy buildings take damage from every weapon. Buildings shoot, heal and teleport only for their builder's team.

Trivia

• The Struction Console cannot kill by itself: kills by your sentries show the sentry's own icon in the kill feed. Despite that, a kill feed icon for the console still exists in the game files.
