I think the tips here work better now that the engi can use a minisentry, since it costs less and builds faster. And it can't be repaired, so it's even more expendable than the regular sentry.
@neji2401 +frontier justice, you can own a map as an offensive engineer, it is one of the most fun classes in the game, i constantly drop sentries let them explode, get criticals, create another fast sentry a few meters from where they killed the last one...
Drop a sentry and start killing. A soldier comes by and starts shooting at your sentry. You give it to him with your shotgun a few times and run... He WILL follow you. But you already have another sentry up behind the corner. BLAMBLAM kills+1 :)
Kick ass video. really helped me realize what a smart engie is supposed to do rather building lvl 3 sentry + dispenser + tele all in one damn spot so a denoman can come along and blow the thing to hell in two seconds.
@Vizaru if you actually needed this bullshitty video to teach you how to be an engineer, you've never played the god damn class. you're an idiot and so are the 18 people that liked your dumbass comment. this video is an insult to anyone who watches it.
@lemonstriker dude, cool it, that comment was 5 months ago. it was the first week of me playing tf2; of course i was a shitty engineer. we were all noobs once, so dont be such a douche bag every time you see one.
No one knows everything. like how im really good at math, and im sure a lot better than you. does that make me smarter than you? no, not necessarily (but given your ass-hole comment i probably am) it just means i happen to be good at some things, and your good at others.
This isn't offensive engie, this is just engie. You are considering the super defensive wrench-only engie as the standard... Offense engie didn't actually exist at the time you made the video, it wasn't really possible before mini-sentry. You basically were just playing engie.
problem is that lately alot of spies are around and (sometimes) even a good one, so there's the problem with aggresive engineer, even more so than defensive one.
@WaffleTheQueenz The Gunslinger only helps when surprise is in the equation. If you constantly put the mini-sentry in a place of power and in constant siege of attacks then you will simply get overpowered by a heavy (big surprise). Deal more with surprise and CONSTANTLY move the sentry. For instance, on Turbine rotate the sentry in the corner of the intelligence floor and keep it there at the VERY beginning on the game, scouts seem to ignore it, might even get a solider, but humans adapt still.
@WaffleTheQueenz Only so much in 500. With the added idea of surprise for the mini-sentry, there is also the support idea that is greatly added with the Gunslinger. Many people think lowly of the mini-sentry- thinking that it's not the main threat, but not looked after the mini-sentry can deal great damage and can lower health for your teammate's targets. If the enemy ignores the mini-sentry than it is a great threat and is also a smaller target to hit. One more to go and then I am done.
@WaffleTheQueenz Last comment- Now the mini-sentry is very weak and can only take so much, hell, scouts can take them down even (though some don't know that). Just because the sentry gets killed doesn't mean you are dead, retreat and make another (just takes a second). Most won't expect another after it being just killed- the newer shotgun is great for this what with revenge crits, as well. With the new shotgun along with the gunslinger- you are a new type of engineer, make use of it.
Great tutorial ;)! but I have one question is for offensive engi better Fast building mini-sentry or normal sentry? the mini is faster builded but has lower hp and lower dmg and u can't repair it
but wouldn't you be a bigger dick with your sentry if you had gunslinger + wrangler + frontier justice combo? i currently have gunslinger + frontier justice and it works damn well for a combat oriented engineer. gunslinger builds in a mere 2.5 seconds, giving you extra time to build a level 1 dispenser for support. then when i feel my sentry has racked up enough kills & is low on health, i blow it up, put a new one and enjoy my free crits. big dicks are awesum sauce.
@MackerelAssasin Lol, that's exactly what I do. Though how well you do as an offensive engineer depends almost entirely on how well the rest of your team does. It's a cooperative effort. You need your team to distract your foes so that your sentry can get enough hits, while also needing them to push forward to protect your buildings. And many other things.
@void735 Not true. Tricks only work once when your team is worthless, or you use gimmicky tricks. Offensive engineering is all about putting your gun where your team is, meaning that any serious effort to remove your gun is countered by the fact that your team is shooting at the enemy.
@SBFloppie that you team will be worthless is usually a norm for me, and the thing is you will most liklay not kill the same person with your trick. perhaps twice if you do get help but hif hes skilled enught he will be prepared for it
@void735 I bring my own team (4-5 people usually) so I don't usually have that problem. Basically, I set my guns up where the enemy can't proceed without destroying them, and can't destroy them without giving up cover. This sets them up to die to sniper fire, sticky traps, and overwhelming fire from my team. If they focus on killing my gun, they *usually* get caught by the team. It also helps that our scout with a FAN knocks them out in front of the guns a lot :D
@void735 its a funktioning strategy i sopuse. but it comes down to skill in eiter way, when it comes to sentrys its all about Reaction time, analyse, and wisdom. so im just sayin faceing a player with high avrege experience the trick should not work to long, even if you constantly move sentry around mostly it comes down to realism, same as to say a spy could randomly back stab you as you move around it. everything that have a possibility to happen must never be ignored in tf2. :)
should get a new vid about the * new * offensive engineer, with the new stuff like the mini-quickbuild-sentry.
so far my record is to demoninate 6 people and build my sentry 15 times in 1 game, and died like 4 times. And the funny part i got chased by 3 people for revenge and they were even typing all kinda shit about my sentry :P ah yeah i felt the love for sentry's there
And a good tip, hide ya dispenser further away ( around a corner not to close ), and pick up fallen weps for materials ^,^
This video was before the quick draw robotic arm came, I think. That fast-building mini sentry is the bomb when playing aggressive : rack up kills (help with your shotty/gun ; no wrangler!!) and when they get destroy, get free crits with the Frontier Justice.
This is quite sporty, but if you get this technique right and have at least another engie in your team with regular sent, you'll both prove invaluable to your team's effort :)
Yeah, Gunslinger was MADE for the Frontier Justice. It allows you to rack up tons of crits to shooot your enemy in the face, and it does considerable damage with a smart mind and right placement.
I love the new engineer weapons, although the mini-sentries might seem to weak to bother with at first. But for engies with the frontier justice and wrangler they work great. The minis are surprisingly powerful, just watch your back and keep moving. And when your sentry eventually gets destroyed....lots of free crits. Theres a lot of great pointers in this video that apply to the new weapons as well.
TL;DR - Build annoying sentries everywhere.... get crits..... shoot enemy in face.
1: Pistol is more effective than shotgun at anything other than very close range. It's accurate enough to consistently get headshots at medium range if you can aim at moving targets.
2: You need to play more like a pyro, your sentry is bait and your enemy will focus on it, you can use these opportunities to ambush your enemies and surprise them with a wrench or point-blank shotgun.
3: The gunslinger is incredibly effective at abusing lvl 1 sentries.
This reminds me of the time when I wanted to be Spy, but I couldn't, so I chose Sniper (a class I really hate) and used only my machete/kukri. I called it the Spyper. It was great fun; I got about 40 kills, tried to be as stealthy as possible, got a kill streak of 7 and my proudest moment as a Spyper was when I managed to take down a medic/heavy combo. It's times like those that make me really want to get a capture card or something.
I've noticed the engineer's shotgun also has a predictable spread pattern: a perfect 3x3 pattern. All other shotguns are more random, so the engineer's is actually fairly accurate at long range.
@ZombieZephyr Actually, that's only on some servers. This depends on the server var "tf_use_fixed_weaponspreads" - if this is set to "1", you get that 3x3 pattern. If it is set to "0", pellet direction is completely random. Go ahead and start up a listen server to see for yourself, you can change the setting's value in console.
This is so fun on 2fort with the Gunslinger. I get like 20 kills a life by building next to their base/in the water and shotgunning+sentrying people. You are a sexy person.
In my opinion, the new Engie update was made for offensive Engies. Look at this:
- Frontier Justice for a little extra firepower boost when your stuff gets sploded. Which it will.
-Ability to move existing buildings (GOTTAM) to keep up with the front line.
-Gunslinger with extra health, better damage than the wrench, a badass tauntkill, and minisentries which you can throw up anywhere quickly, even during combat if you're lucky.
Good video, but I can't help thinking that the basic shotgun did more damage back when you made this. I never manage to get kills with just a couple of shots. Only the FAN up close seems to get such quick kills for me.
@WoodenZigzagoon I totally agree. With the Wrangler ruining the fun of the pistol. I still use all of the Engie standards. And I like my clips higher for shotgun.
And the gunslinger combat mini sentry made offense engi feel akward...
Man with the engi update... mini sentry... movable buildings.... it's ENGI HEAVEN until they fix this over-ubering, i'm having so much fun at pwnin everyone
I usually dont use mini sentry for ambushes because it has such a low firepower. It works well when attacking with team on 5 cp maps (granary mid, badlands 2nd point)
Very good, you started me off on offensive engineering :) , shud check out my updated tf2 engineer vid. Btw the gunslinger is 100 metal built in 2 secs. Use it as a disposable tool
I did this with the new mini sentry, i managed to use the same one the entire round and we won, i just kept picking it up and dumping it somewhere new and then using your tactic of sentry + shotgun
+800 hours played but i still love watching videos like yours,spy techniques,how to play videos etc.. this game never gets old and im wondering what will happen now i mean 9 class updates valve cant add more.. because if they add more weapons the game will be like.. wow or something you have OVER 9000 weapons to choose i dont know maybe new class ? or tf3 ?
In my latest video i explain how to get Steam Games for Free
No downloads or hacks - You will get any Steam game that you want Gifted to you through Steam Gift System, so you will get the original copy. You can get TF2 in just a couple of hours. All explained on my latest video.
@crowfaceltd im the happiest person about and i don't even have tf2 i swear ive watched every gameplay video of tf2 ever uploaded besides new one and love love love engie hes mah fav class and he finay gets some new toys >:D
@gunteen8 Well most of it is still valid, as far as sentry placement and weaponry goes. The biggest change in my eyes is that you can just pick up and move your fully upgraded stuff around, which really makes using and abusing level 1 sentries a bit less effective at times.
If I'm going to bother to make a new video, I'll wait for the engineering overflow to die down, as the engineer's usual playstyle and targets (scouts) are pretty much nonexistant right now.
@flashmontage124 idk. If I'm making it, I'll probably just go over what the new stuff changes and what new opportunities it gives enginerds. Thing is, I made this video mostly for CP maps, but valve and most pubs play dustbowl and payload maps 90% of the time. Combat engineering isn't always very effective on those kind of maps.
Either way I'll wait for the update craze to die down first before I decide whether or not I'm making a new video.
I was prett far along with the new video before I gave up on hatfortress 2: the hattening more than half a year ago. After more than three years, it's time to call it a day.
@BenHurrrrrrrr u should man, specifically an offensive engineer one. i see too many ignorant people labelling the gunslinger as useless because they fail to use minisentries as a disposable tool
Thumbs up for classic TF2. :)

This reminds me of the time when I wanted to be Spy, but I couldn't, so I chose Sniper (a class I really hate) and used only my machete/kukri. I called it the Spyper. It was great fun; I got about 40 kills, tried to be as stealthy as possible, got a kill streak of 7 and my proudest moment as a Spyper was when I managed to take down a medic/heavy combo. It's times like those that make me really want to get a capture card or something.

I've noticed the engineer's shotgun also has a predictable spread pattern: a perfect 3x3 pattern. All other shotguns are more random, so the engineer's is actually fairly accurate at long range.
ZombieZephyr 1 year ago
@ZombieZephyr Actually, that's only on some servers. This depends on the server var "tf_use_fixed_weaponspreads" - if this is set to "1", you get that 3x3 pattern. If it is set to "0", pellet direction is completely random. Go ahead and start up a listen server to see for yourself, you can change the setting's value in console.

SuperPikmin45 1 year ago
The gunslinger makes sentries a lot less of a pain in the ass, plus th extra health makes playing like this perfectly
dFndr93 1 year ago
This is so fun on 2fort with the Gunslinger. I get like 20 kills a life by building next to their base/in the water and shotgunning+sentrying people. You are a sexy person.

In my opinion, the new Engie update was made for offensive Engies. Look at this:
- Frontier Justice for a little extra firepower boost when your stuff gets sploded. Which it will.
-Ability to move existing buildings (GOTTAM) to keep up with the front line.
-Gunslinger with extra health, better damage than the wrench, a badass tauntkill, and minisentries which you can throw up anywhere quickly, even during combat if you're lucky.
Yep, would ya look at that.

The sneaky sentry always wins. And the new Gunslinger fits your playstyle perfectly.

Good video, but I can't help thinking that the basic shotgun did more damage back when you made this. I never manage to get kills with just a couple of shots. Only the FAN up close seems to get such quick kills for me.

Offensive engineering is made easier with the Engineer update, now we can move or sentries from defense to offense
I mostly build a sentry away from the front line and when it's level 3 i move it further into the battlefield

Is it just me or was the engineer more fun to play as before the update?
WoodenZigzagoon 1 year ago
@WoodenZigzagoon I totally agree. With the Wrangler ruining the fun of the pistol. I still use all of the Engie standards. And I like my clips higher for shotgun.
And the gunslinger combat mini sentry made offense engi feel akward...

I usually dont use mini sentry for ambushes because it has such a low firepower. It works well when attacking with team on 5 cp maps (granary mid, badlands 2nd point)

I did this with the new mini sentry, i managed to use the same one the entire round and we won, i just kept picking it up and dumping it somewhere new and then using your tactic of sentry + shotgun

supergamecubedude 1 year ago
@BenHurrrrrrrr That would be a great idea, to be honest.
I see a lot of engies using the mini sentry the wrong way, which is a shame, its a great tool.
32 DPS on top of your shotgun is deadly, and it builds up revenge crits for you too when the cute little thing reaches its demise ;D
Esthin 1 year ago
@BenHurrrrrrrr Please, do. The new engie stuff now contradicts most of the things here, and makes the others easier.
gunteen8 1 year ago 11
@gunteen8 Well most of it is still valid, as far as sentry placement and weaponry goes. The biggest change in my eyes is that you can just pick up and move your fully upgraded stuff around, which really makes using and abusing level 1 sentries a bit less effective at times.
If I'm going to bother to make a new video, I'll wait for the engineering overflow to die down, as the engineer's usual playstyle and targets (scouts) are pretty much nonexistant right now.
BenHurrrrrrrr 1 year ago 8
@BenHurrrrrrrr Um so....will there be a strategy for all the weapons that have come out? Or will it be am extension of this one?
flashmontage124 1 year ago
@flashmontage124 idk. If I'm making it, I'll probably just go over what the new stuff changes and what new opportunities it gives enginerds. Thing is, I made this video mostly for CP maps, but valve and most pubs play dustbowl and payload maps 90% of the time. Combat engineering isn't always very effective on those kind of maps.
Either way I'll wait for the update craze to die down first before I decide whether or not I'm making a new video.
