The Construct is a stock PDA weapon for Mechanic. It resembles a grey calculator-style device with a team-colored screen and wires, four buttons with the icons of the Buildings, and four other unlabeled buttons.
It allows the user to build a Sentry Gun, Dispenser, or Teleporters, depending on how much metal the user has.
