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.

Location of origin: Dorset, England

Job: Escape (Oil Baron)

Motto: No Motto

Special ability: Boost

Known as "Dollar Bill" to his friends (a self-given nickname, as he has none), the rich, haughty, and rather portly Civilian is a man with a target on his back. Paranoid, he hires mercenaries to protect him from the various men and organizations that are after him. His two loves are his life and his money, and he wants to maintain those for as long as he possibly can. But so long as there are people who want him dead out there, he's going to have to use that money he loves dearly to keep himself alive.

As a Civilian…

  • …keep up with your teammates to have a better chance of survival.
  • …nearby teammates will be protected from damage within your morale boost's radius. You yourself however, remain excluded.
  • …hit MOUSE2 on a teammate to give them a 10 second boost of mini-crits.
  • …you're rather slow. Try your best to keep up with your teammates.
  • …your umbrella isn't very effective as a weapon. Let your teammates fight for you.
  • …you capture control points the fastest out of any other class.
  • …be sure to watch out for enemy Spies, as they're capable of killing you instantly.
