==Appearance==
Hotwire is a female wearing brown camo pants, a blue shirt and a blue beret. She has tactical facepaint under her eyes.
 
==Function==
Hotwire is unique on [[GDI]] as she is the only [[GDI Infantry]] that carries an [[Advanced Repair Gun]], 2 [[Remote C4]], 2 [[Timed C4]] and 3 [[Proximity C4]]. Hotwires are considered as an upgraded of [[Engineer]] on GDI side, and a direct counterpart of Nod's [[Technician]].
 
==Strategy==
===Usage===
Hotwire is also a necessity against any enemy team rush and infiltrations. Being the only [[GDI Infantry]] to have an [[Advanced Repair Gun]], she is vital against vehicle rushes. Her repairing power on a [[Master Control Terminal]] should not be underestimated. A group of 3 or 4 Hotwires can keep a building alive against most vehicle rushes.
 
Hotwire is also the only GDI class to plant mines. Hotwires that use [[Proximity C4]] need to take account of the tactics of using the mines, as wrong and overabundant placement can lead to heavily defenseless base.
 
===Counter===
Any strategy against [[Engineer]] will work against Hotwire. However, Hotwire has more C4s in total, making her lethal inside your perimeter. Hotwire is also stronger than the regular Engineer, possessing a higher caliber pistol sidearm compared to the former. Be wary of any [[Proximity C4]] she plants and those she disarms in a much quicker pace. The only warning you will get if Hotwire infiltrates a building is the decrement of mines in the counter. A good Hotwire detonates all their C4s at roughly the same time, causing the building to blow up straight from 100% to 0%.
 
Vehicles should keep their distance from Hotwires as their C4 supply is enough to destroy most unrepaired healthy tank.
 
When repelling a tank assault, Hotwire will need to be taken out first, since she repairs friendlies quickly and can sustain a tank through a lot of punishments. Most tanks are piloted by Hotwires for this capability.
