So, other than being the new kamikaze Covenant enemy, do you think we will actually see some cool scenes of an Engineer fixing something up?
I would assume that during the nighttime segments they won't have their explosive armor on (which is what I'm calling it, btw) and they would be simply be floating around, or near some destroyed piece of streetlight or something and fixing it.
I doubt that with the inclusion of such a species Bungie wouldn't pass up the opportunity to showcase their true purpose. Like they could actually play a semi-important part of the story, befriending the ODST's and fixing a pelican or something like that.
I already have reason to believe it is fixing DARE's helmet in that picture in OXM.
You know, that last point makes a lot of sense. I didn't think of it that way.
Buck realized Dare isn't in her pod. He's pissed and he needs to make his way out somewhere or other. He sees this one lone Engineer with a Bunch of Brutes and sees that the Engineer has the helmet. He has to slowly kill the Brutes from a distance and go to the Engineer. The Engineer, now free from the rule of Brutes, is trying to repair the helmet. Buck counts on that so as to see some Helmet based footage and figure out the whereabouts of Dare. Engineer fixes it but nothing. Buck gets pissed off and throws it into the screen... Where 6 hours later, the Rookie finds it.
I could see that happening.
And I totally wish that once you kill the specific encounter the Engineer belongs to, the Explosive equipment on it just disengages and falls off.
