The '''Civilian''' is a [[Classes#Special|special class]], unique to Team Fortress 2 Classic, that is designed around the [[VIP]] game mode, which is the only mode he can be played in. During a VIP match, he must be escorted by his bodyguards, the [[Teams|BLU]] team, while avoiding being killed by the assassins, the [[Teams|RED]] team. He is extremely short and fat, and has 200 health and 93% speed, yet is equipped only with the [[Umbrella]], a low-damage melee weapon. As a result, he is completely useless in direct combat, but benefits his team with a variety of special effects.
The '''Civilian''' is a special class for the [[VIP]] game mode, where he needs to get escorted by the [[Teams|BLU]] team. The Civilian is designed to be weak but useful to his team, somewhat like the [[Medic]].


His passive effect is in providing an aura around him, benefiting his teammates with 20% damage resistance, which doesn't affect the Civilian himself, while healing them between 5 and 15 health per second, which the Civilian does benefit from. Like the [[Medi Gun]], he gives less health to players damaged within 10 seconds. The aura checks for players within it every second, has a slightly larger activation range than deactivation range, makes a wooshing sound on an active player, shows a badge on their health, is active through walls, and will benefit disguised [[Spy|Spies]]. If there are somehow two Civilians, they can provide auras to each other, enabling the damage reduction for eachother. The damage reduction does not affect taunt kills, and only gives 6.66% damage reduction against [[Critical hit|critical hits]].
He has the fastest capture-rate out of all classes in the game, capturing five times faster than normal, and he can grant mini-crit boosts to his teammates while providing a defensive boost around him. In addition, boosting the medic will increase both the heal and Über rate. However, he is only equipped with the [[Umbrella]], and is rather slow. With 200 health points, he should be staying behind the front lines, otherwise he can easily get killed.
 
His Umbrella is an excellent weapon for dealing damage, but not because the Civilian attacks with it. Instead, it will grant an 8-second [[mini-crit]] boost to any one of his teammates, which deals 35% extra damage and ignores damage falloff for all their weapons. It can also mini-crit boost the Medi Gun or [[Kritzkrieg]], increasing their heal rate and [[ÜberCharge]] rate by 35%. The boost recharges every 15 seconds, and has no boost when spawning. Besides this feature, the Umbrella is identical to the [[Bat]], itself a bad weapon, and so only deals 35 damage a swing despite swinging faster than normal. This means the Civilian should not attempt direct combat with an enemy under any circumstances.
 
He also has the fastest capture rate out of all classes in the game, capturing five times faster than normal. However, this is a moot point, because he is the only class able to capture points in VIP mode. If he is enabled outside of VIP mode, using the server command <code>tf2c_allow_special_classes</code>, he is able to be selected as normal, and will play much the same way as he does in VIP - which is to say, a terrible fighter with exceptional passive effects.
 
The Civilian is voiced by Benjamin "Benjamoose" Rudman.


In the [[VIP]] game mode, his goal is to reach the escape zone before the time runs out. His team serves as body guards escorting him while clearing out any enemies. Most of the time, his death results in time being removed, giving less time for the Civilian to reach the escape zone once he respawns. In certain maps, such as [[Trainyard]], his death can result to an instantaneous defeat for his team, no matter how much time there was left.

The Civilian is a special class for the VIP game mode, where he needs to get escorted by the BLU team. The Civilian is designed to be weak but useful to his team, somewhat like the Medic.

He has the fastest capture-rate out of all classes in the game, capturing five times faster than normal, and he can grant mini-crit boosts to his teammates while providing a defensive boost around him. In addition, boosting the medic will increase both the heal and Über rate. However, he is only equipped with the Umbrella, and is rather slow. With 200 health points, he should be staying behind the front lines, otherwise he can easily get killed.

In the VIP game mode, his goal is to reach the escape zone before the time runs out. His team serves as body guards escorting him while clearing out any enemies. Most of the time, his death results in time being removed, giving less time for the Civilian to reach the escape zone once he respawns. In certain maps, such as Trainyard, his death can result to an instantaneous defeat for his team, no matter how much time there was left.
