TF2 - Best Sentry Spot - Dustbowl Stage 1

[tadeasko123]

LoL kinda noob spot it sjould be destroyed with any class i think... But not the worst so.... I leave it a like

[Thyman409]

He's a credit to the team... the OTHER team!

[solokinks]

usually i see a heavy sitting beside dispenser firing a brass beast

[SammzProductions]

One uber and your dead along with everything else you built.

[metallicais1337]

@SammzProductions that happens to any engie setup when there's an uber... derp

[MENNNTOS]

you can't defend 1st point as engie if no one cover you !!!

[D3ATHA55A55IN]

Is this the xbox version of the game

[SHADOWRAINBOW180]

@D3ATHA55A55IN yea

[timegberts]

how u get dispenser lvl 0?

[wynnefox]

@timegberts This was recorded before the Engie update when Teleporters and Dispensers were not upgradable.

[SHADOWRAINBOW180]

@timegberts hes playin it on the xbox

[slightlygothic666]

@SHADOWRAINBOW180 No he isnt, this is the PC/mac version of the game, you can easily tell from the speed of his aiming.

[AeroTiberian]

easy for a simple demoman just nume the sentry from its blindspot while your team distracts it with a overhealed hevy the dispencer leave it to the spy engi to the heavy done

[K0ragg]

That sentry spot is easy to destroy as a soldier cause the engi aint near the dispenser

[FaceForwardGaming]

THINK: if you have all your team at 1st cp and it gets captured a scout or spy could just run a grap 2nd cp

[BeatzzzVideos]

2:37 and then you died.

[jamesigall]

but yeah, i too hate it when engies set up at the 2nd cp before we loose the first, unless the other team is rolling us and have a history of backcapping - in which case maybe 1 of the 2-3 engies we normally have can be there getting rdy

[jamesigall]

2-3 engies supported by a good pyro airblasting and spy checking can hold almost any cp in dustbowl

[jamesigall]

ok - ive played on dustbowl nearly 100% of my tf2 time for the past month, so ill run u through how i play engie at stage 1

First, entrance up, grab more metal

run to cp1, set up exit behind the cp hut below the walkway

grab large ammo, set up a sentry in the forward left corner of the room, facing the cp- lvl 3 using the ammo box,at this point match has started

build a dispenser quick, then upgrade port

i generally switch out at cp2 cos many people go engie - i play pyro and help em

[demonpivot1123]

dude

build on the first cpt point dont be dumb u can get scores...and try putting your buildables on *unspotable* ares >.>

[RealizationReMix]

Wow, isn't... isn't... wow. This is from the stone age of TF2.

[thedeuid66]

@Dushess0az No, thats stage 1.

[Dushess0az]

Maybe Dustbowl - STAGE 3 ?

[UItro]

@Craft2974 Left trigger :)

[Craft2974]

@UItro yh found outand its rly funn cuz my friend sawme o it and he was so confussed lol

[Stroikah]

As a Red Engie, 99% of the time:

Sentry < Dispenser < Teleporter

[Craft2974]

how did u make ur sentry rotate? im on orange box xbox 360

[AjnaKotobide]

Its not a great spot. It doesn't give any of your team any covering fire, so they have to fight man-down because you are hiding in a corner waiting to get killed.

Your dispenser was good but the positioning was sloppy - it was too far to the right and gets hit and destroyed by stray rollers there.

[Ragegamer2]

This is a bit of a pessimistic building strategy. You can definitely give Blu a run for their money with a cooperative team and a decent frontline defense on the first cap.

[shadesnow]

/watch?v=lXnh0GkZ69o

[FrizaAngelo]

When defending, I put a tele outside my spawn, upgrade it to level 2 (Or level 1 if I want to get a sentry up quickly), then build a tele exit in the tunnel above the first cap. THEN I focus on my sentry/dispencer.

[iansquared3]

yes, its true that demos can kill any sentry including this one, but this spot is probably the best because it is backstab and sniper proof.

[VidyaShow]

@iansquared3 Actually, snipers can shoot at it through the doorway

[iansquared3]

@VidyaShow but since snipers cant kill a sentry in one shot, a counter sniper can usually kill the attacking sniper before he takes it out.

[VidyaShow]

@iansquared3 a fully charged sniper shot still takes hits a level 3 sentry for half of it's health, combine this with a pushing heavy+medic combo and some random demo/soldier spamming, your sentry will go down pretty fast

[iansquared3]

@VidyaShow ok yes it will go down with teamwork, but so will ANY sentry. what is a better spot? the one next to the grain silo is good, but you are a sitting duck for backstabs.

[VidyaShow]

@iansquared3 No you got me wrong, It's a good spot alright, but not sniper proof, which is what this was all about :)

[iansquared3]

@VidyaShow either way, you are still a beautiful young man.

[Bunbun5789]

I like to put my sentry where you put your exit. I just have to sit there and keep my wrench on my sentry, I can't be sniped because of the hit boxes and I would notice any spies above me.

[tenteon]

I like putting it next to the silo because they don't see it till they come around the corner, and it can shoot into the mine entry way on the 2nd level

[88Meters]

freaking love sentry spamming

[JxMAn127]

good tip if you are blue use a sniper or a solider and soot the legs of the sentry from the edge of the mine when you turn right.

[infiniteburgerking]

i bet he ended the video because the soldier destroyed the sentry right after it

[ShadowStar1224]

@infiniteburgerking but the sentry killed the soldier.

[infiniteburgerking]

@ShadowStar1224 actually the body at the end was the scout, the explosion that killed the pyro pushed the scout back, the sound the soldier made was a scream of pain after being shot, not killed by a sentry

[ShadowStar1224]

@infiniteburgerking Go figure.

[infiniteburgerking]

@ShadowStar1224 oh and you know that the body wasnt a scout? tell me this, what makes you a good fucktard?

[ShadowStar1224]

@infiniteburgerking Whoa. Where did that come from? Oh well. Blocked.

[infiniteburgerking]

@ShadowStar1224 whatever buddy, have fun with your no update xbox360.

plus, you dumbass 360 fanboys need to realize that you ownt get shit, good day

[ShadowStar1224]

@infiniteburgerking I'll have you know that I own both the 360 and Steam versions of this game.

[infiniteburgerking]

@ShadowStar1224 hey wait, what happened to blocked? oh yeah, nice try faggot, and you would know that then, you're just proving my point

[ShadowStar1224]

@infiniteburgerking I don't know why the blocking isn't working.

I would know that a soldier was killed or not because I have both versions?

[infiniteburgerking]

@ShadowStar1224 yeah im sure the block wasn't working, well, your answer makes no sense because they are both different. for one. explosives dont always gib you on the PC

[ObadiahtheSlim]

Useless engies build at the second point and don't bother defending the first point.

[narutoshippudenclara]

@ObadiahtheSlim Because of the way Valve designed this map its beneficial for engies to set up a defense on the 2nd point, the idea is to have the heavy and demo and pyro and high health classes try to hold off the 1st point so that your engies can secure the 2nd. Its not being useless, its strategizing

[1998Navi]

dude you'll get fucked if a pro demo or soldier or sniper is there

[NewBlood0]

is this for xbox? cuase usually you can upgrade your dispencer

[Gronzlo]

Brass Beast Heavy > that spot

[SpyGuysX]

what a dick, building on the last point when the first one is still up.

[egobot13]

@SpyGuysX

He sure ruins fun of other players on empty server, dick indeed.

[narutoshippudenclara]

@egobot13 *not empty

[danelo13]

@SpyGuysX personally as a scout and spy, since i give for done the first point i drink bonk and cap second whit out being seen ... so yea he is my weakness

[damyzs]

2:32 spy scout :D

[frdwrdpnz]

You never want to give up on defending the first cap! Maybe it would be easier to defend if everyone on my team moved up and stopped blu from getting a fast scout or spy cap!

We need engies on a dude

[womenrvets2]

I always do it on the corner where the stairs are

Like, all the way. Not on them, where the health and ammo is.

:D Its good.

[DarkBonesDaku]

ALWAYS set up your sentry? Try different spots. Often unexpected is better than good.

[slik4100]

@DarkBonesDaku I got like 19 kills as engineer with out dying on badlands, best map for engies

[iansquared3]

id say that this is a good spot not because it is "invincible," but because you cant get backstabbed. i usually use it if i have enough time to set up,

[Rotneybot]

2:33 SPY SAPPIN MAH TELEPORTER!!!

[psycosanches589]

on the xbox 360 thats the most overused spot on that map next to the spot next to the silo

[OblivionKnight457]

I'm used to that spot, not very hard to sap the damn thing.

[Jubby7]

I prefer putting a sentry on the 2nd floor plank out from cap A. It tends to be far enough back that people die before getting to it. I used to use this strategy, but defending cap A gets the job done faster.

[coolism123]

is this a joke

[krazykilla1210]

system i see not steam steam is worth it

[FighterFan]

It's engineers like you who make defending Cap A that much more difficult because we're a man/sentry short on that point. To criticize the sentry spot I can easily lob grenades from the tires/sniper perch on the same side as it, not to mention it's fresh pickings for me as a sniper unless you're standing on the sentry itself.

[ideutsRus]

One word on how to get rid of that sentry.

Sapper.

[Minwu325]

Cynicism. Just keep the first point safe for as long as you can...

[cmbdragon666]

is this on PS3? if it is, I must try this, but also move the exit to the rock and chicken wire that puts it in the middle.

[cmbdragon666]

@cmbdragon666 and by that I mean that you should know were the best griefing spot is on dustbowl stage 1.

[locksmith898]

@cmbdragon666 "facepalm"

[cmbdragon666]

@locksmith898 well, if that means, you do not agree, then what's the best griefing place, if that means you know that, the woopdie fucking doo.

[Michael00189]

the only time my sentry gets any kills is when i sue the rangler....im ok with that

[666bam242]

that is a terrible place to put a sentry because if a sniper or soldier or a demo-man shoots down from those stairs, and if the engineer is not careful or is not there, the sentry will be heavily damaged or destroyed. just to tell you. = D

[DuranXL]

Nobody builds there? are you kidding me LMAO!!!

[GamersGuide1726]

this isent all tht good. u need the despenser next to the senty, so tht wen its under fire ur gettin metal while reparing it.

[zalan26]

there is 2 things why this spot fails : 1sdt u can'T get metal while repairing = u are can'T place ur dispencer to a safe spot where u get metal from it and u can repair the sentry 2nd it's very easy to spot and if 2 man come from teh stair and 2 from teh main door u get killed in no time :)

[TheDarkLatias950]

I Always Put My Sentry On The Box :D

[Penguinator44]

I love how you said "You could build a teleporter exit on the first point but BLU probably will have capped the first point".

You know why this is? It's because your team is a player down on the front lines and has no teleporter to hold that position

[Superlagg]

@Penguinator44 Unless all of BLU suddenly disconnects, you're not going to hold the first point.

[Kiwicrasherz]

he quited the vid cause he was getting raped at the end

[shamz0rz]

You could've made the video 5 seconds long and accomplised just as much.

[HarryScab2k6]

best sentry spot is at 0:38 in the, place the sentry just in cover of the wall in staircase and put the dispenser right behind it on the wall

Then the sentry can shoot behind it aswell as in front and on the ledge

[wakkanda]

as an engineer i find it fucking boring as hell staying in one spot so i lay down LVL 1 sentry and just go hide behind a wall and shoot the shit out of people while that anoyying little lvl 1 shoots them

fun

[CheeseyVagina]

A demo can bounce nades off the ground onto it.

A sniper can stand on top of the stairs and put a nice big dent in it

[thecakeisbake]

Vespene Gas. 

[SvenOkonomi]

That box is a spy! No really, I always build there aswell, though they wise up to that pretty quick, they just kneel at the top of the stairs and wail on it.

[wowseyl]

@#@#§¢|¢¬|¬§¢¬´¢¬´~@°¬§@¬§|¬|§­@°¬§¢|´¢|´#@°|°§¢|¢¢

[TheGuitarHeroHero]

PC or Xbox?

[Hushoo]

@TheGuitarHeroHero pc

[TheGuitarHeroHero]

@Hushoo I tryied this out on Xbox and it works aswell! :D

[wakkanda]

@TheGuitarHeroHero well guess what XBOX SUCKS

[NeonTheChao]

Stupid question: how do you rotate the sentry before you build it?

[Hushoo]

@NeonTheChao right click



[saur55]

@NeonTheChao

alt fire button (right click or left trigger) while placing building

[SalemSyndicate]

Nice vid, man.

[shadowdragon0172]

upgrade your dispenser

[souldude151]

a better place would be outside the first point!

[stealthbeast]

rofl. best spot? in 10 seconds u were hustling just not to die. This spot is generic, and not very good.

[Goth47]

"the first point is easy to cap"

yeah because all the engineers are on the second one!

[Ridfinir]

not the best spot in 1st stage... the best spot i know is inside a rock and if u place it just right there no1 will be able to destroy it:D not even demos

[bomber123456789dabes]

its better to put there a sentry later on mach when they are closer.when round starts put a sentry closer to enemy base

[oxShirinuixo]

I find that putting it beside the wall near the stairs seems to put up more challenge for the opposing team; I often have a good Spy on my team that could pick off any Demos or Soldiers trying my sentry. Plus, if anyone tries to walk around and capture the point, either my sentry turns around and gets them, or one of my teammates do.

[anthonio98]

SPAH SAPPIN MAH TELEPORTER!

[sonicboom454]

@anthonio98 I noticed that too :O

[00hydraburst]

How do you turn the sentry around in the PS3 version?

[DeIdeal]

Press the L2 button (or whatever you have set for alternative fire).

[Semicolon7645]

@00hydraburst Sadly you can't.

[jacksparrow1507]

the best sentry spot for dust bowl on the 2nd round as defender you know when you reach your first locked spawn(place tele entrance) keep going until you hit a wall then turn right you keep walking towards a building (WARNING this place is crawling with enemies so its best to do this while they are attacking another point or defending) go up the stairs then you would see a small room with health kit and ammo box build a tele exit , sentry on the door way and dispencer and you got a small base...

[markaryank]

@suckithardnfast ya you can on pc version i did this about 30 minutes ago!

[mlgpwner]

it actually isnt a very good spot a spy could stilll zap it

[SoulEater707]

This spot is pretty easy to destroy when the engineer is alone. Just get the demo man.

[BRavens27]

a demo can destroy ANY sentry :)

[spice696rulez]

@BRavens27 true, but very cowardly , the ydont go infront of it and destroy it.. becasue.. well.. they'll get owned

[MacRief]

@BRavens27 well so can the spy

[slik4100]

@BRavens27 UNLESS ITS A FARM!

[nrevelations777]

@BRavens27

Not in some places, especially with an engy there.

[JohnGreasyGamer]

@BRavens27 Even a premium server Sentry...? ^_^

[Turtan4]

@JohnGreasyGamer

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no.

Go back to your cage , billy.

[willywonka610]

@BRavens27 even in the sky?

[Ragkid]

@willywonka610 Yes.

[kingnic17]

Demos are the bane of my existence.

[Gungrave20]

instead of backtracking to spawn just bind kill or explode command to a key. Though in some servers who have a high spawn time limit which this tactic is not that great.

That is if you don't care about your KD ratio if you are that dam serrious about a game. Me i play to have fun and pawn the other team of course. So if you find a knife in your back yea thats me :D

[mohaabexpert123]

Totally

[murderface941]

a lot of people use this spot now. It does still work pretty well

[jujus213]

:O is good

thx!! man

make more

[ThiagoFilippo]

Why put the sentry on the second control point? You'd wanna stall for time by putting it in the first one, then, if that point is taken, go for the second...

[killtor777]

um stupid question but how do you rotait ur sentry

[Isanion]

right click

[KrodaStagg]

Secondary fire when you bring up the blue prints.

[GDorofu]

Good video. Good commentary. Very Concise. Thank you.

[itsmenerd]

now... tell me what do you do when an Über soldier comes?

[loltanko]

it depends, who wants 2 be the medic, who can stop ubers, spies, scouts, anyone just as long as they can get 2 the medic, and, if an engie is repeatedly hitting his sentry and the soldier cannot fire thru the sentry to kill the engie.

[itsmenerd]

@loltanko Let me present you of something very handi for a soldier... Splash damage... (And pst an Übercharge makes you invulnerable). Oh yeah who dosn't want to be medic?

[sixten2100]

i have 2 things to say first u maybe like that spot but u shulld put it somewhere else becursse u will have to run around all the time and then u are a pretty easy kill i mean if u sitt behind your turret and behind u is your dispenser it chuld save your ass and the turret.

and my second thing to say is is it just me or are uberd demomans overpowerd as f**k?

[Kossumies6]

Personally, I'd put the tele elswhere. It could easily be destoyed under bombardment and people using it would be wihtout cover for a moment.

[simpaklimp]

u should put yor dispenser right next to the sentry,so u get metal if its under fire.

[d3ath369]

sniper will own ur sentry like this

[MegaGamer50]

no,DEMOMAN! keel sentrah no muttrah where eet iass... GO SCRUMPEAH!

[ZeStalker]

just right click

[pedropbs]

i think u can only do it in computer, press mouse 2

[TheSpritersGuild]

Press the Left Trigger on Xbox version.

[stevenB943]

wonder if u can jeely jup in tht corner ill try it lol

[zoolonge]

nice spot, but soldiers, demos, snipers, or übered anything can kill any sentry nest there.

[FalloutFoxStudios]

who would Uber a sniper?

and Ubered anything will kill most sentry nests anywhere. so why bring up that point?

[WTFPS3RULZLOL]

lol yea a full charged snipe or two would kill it anyways

[Beauthegreat1]

ahhhh, tf2 has come so far since this :)

[einc0m8]

yay my self founded spot is the best sentry spot in stage 1 dustbowl

[foxfire945]

hmm thats pretty clever =3 i never thought of trying on the crates.

ill have to try it out

[Avrura]

cant anymore for the last update

[mattsgp]

how come?

[hobowithashotgun]

doesnt work anymore but it never was a good spot. ubers rape it.

[rEsIdEnTeViLwAlKtHrU]

how do u turn buildables?

[MadTurtleGaming]

Right click :P

[rEsIdEnTeViLwAlKtHrU]

lol thx

[gehur]

engee fail.

[AxelTiger]

is your monitor LCD or CRT?

[Kurokixx]

demoman could easily take u out

[xXSgtWolfXx]

Wow, I hate turtling engineers.

[RaiohTheHunter]

They're easy to kill though.
