* [[Warhammer 4000040,000]] has a variety depending on which army you're playing
** Space Marines have Techmarines, specially trained by the [[Machine Worship|Adeptus Mechanicus]] to maintain their battle-brothers' equipment. Due to being every bit as tough and skilled as other [[Space Marines]], they're the [[Genius Bruiser]] type.
** The Salamanders, however; belong to the Promethian Cult which value self-reliance and have anvil, hammer and fire as important symbols; and as their Primarch was a blacksmith, they all maintain their equipment by themselves personally. There are still Techmarines within their chapter though, and due to every battle brother in their chapter taking care of their own equipment, they are free to make even more impressive items.

* Roland the Soldier in [[Borderlands]] dabbles into this trope, as his action skill is summoning an automated turret to fire for a bit. The turret can be upgraded to be more effective, provide supply drops or also fire missles from his skill tree while the character's potential abilities in general can directly provide more to a group than any other.
** The Crimson Lance Engineer enemy summons a turret to help them out similar to Roland. It's stated in the [[All There in the Manual|Official Guide]] that Roland was a former Crimson Lance Engineer.
* The worker units in ''[[StarcraftStarCraft]]'' fulfill the role of engineers, but it is the Terran [[SC Vs]] that follow the trope most closely, being piloted units dedicated to construction, mining, terrain-forming, and unit repair. Science Vessels and their succeeding equivalent in the sequel are worth mentioning too, as their detection capabilities are invaluable, and their abilities are no less useful in harassing the enemy or supporting allied troops.
* In ''[[Alpha Protocol]]'', there is an Engineer class which can focus on miscellaneous benefits, including increase in hacking speed, better grenade usage, more ammo/health that can be taken from dead enemies, etc. It may not seem like much, but it adds up.
* Basically all of Cid's incarnations in ''[[Final Fantasy]]'', except for ''I'', ''VIII'', ''XIII'', and the spinoffs. ''IV'', ''VI'', and ''XII'' are probably closest to the trope as written.
