The Catapult is a scrapped building for the Engineer seen in footage of a leaked Team Fortress 2 "staging" (indev) build alongside other features that were being worked on for the scrapped Spy vs Engineer WAR! update. It was teased in Lecture Valley[1].

This building was intended to throw player into the air.[2]. According to in-code comment, this code was copied from Portal 2 and then modified.

Building speed for this building type is increasesd 4 times (approximately 5.2 seconds) when constructed and 7 times (3 seconds) when redeployed.[3]
