The Civilian is a special class for the VIP game mode, where he needs to be escorted by his body guards, the BLU team, while attempting to avoid being killed by the assassins who are on the RED 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. Granting a mini-crit boost to the Medi Gun or Kritzkrieg will increase both their heal and ÜberCharge rate by 35%. He also passively provides an aura around him, benefiting his teammates (and disguised enemy Spies) with 20% damage resistance (which doesn't affect the Civilian himself) while healing them at a rate of 5HP/s to 15HP/s (which the Civilian does benefit from). Two Civilians can provide auras to each other, enabling the damage reduction for each one. The damage reduction does not affect taunt kills, and only gives 6.66% damage reduction against critical hits. However, he's only equipped with the Umbrella which is functionally identical to the bat, he's also rather slow, only moving as fast as a Demoman. Even with 200 health points, he should be staying behind the front lines otherwise he can easily get killed quickly, especially by any assassins who are willing to die in order to take his life.

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 assassins. 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. It also gives the killer five seconds of critical hits. 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 voiced by Benjamin "Benjamoose" Rudman.

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…

  • …you're rather slow. Try your best to keep up with your teammates.

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.
  • Despite not being one of the 9 mercenaries, the Civilian can still be Übercharged. This implies he had a surgical procedure performed by the Medic to gain an Übercharge implant.
  • If a Spy backstabs the Civilian while under the effects of his aura (which are gained while disguised), the Civilian will get credit for his own death.
