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.

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.

Trivia

  • The Civilian originated in Team Fortress Classic, and was considered for Team Fortress 2 during it's development, but never went anywhere past very early gameplay test phases.
  • The model for the Civilian was originally made for a custom game-mode in standard Team Fortress 2 called "Hunted", before being adopted by the developers.
  • In VIP, the Civilian cannot kill himself through a kill-bind.
  • If you call for Medic, there's a chance the Civilian will say "Excuse me, I'm in need of medical attention!", which is a reference to one of the Medic lines in Team Fortress Classic.
