Cooperative Engineering | Engineering 101

Another episode of Engineering 101! This is probably one of the most important subjects that will ever be covered in this series, since it not only goes over the many unspoken rules of playing with other Engies, it covers basic ideal team composition and the modern roles of each individual class! Wow! Learning!

There was this one f2p who kept placing his sentry next to mine, and after the fourth time, I was like, "Right, I'll teach him for about five minutes.". So I channeled my inner Dane, and taught him the basics, he thanked me and we went on to play the round. Now, I thought that would end there. Yet, I was wrong. It was about 10 seconds left on the clock. The payload was dangerously close to the last point. I was repairing my sentry, and the worst thing that could have happened at that moment decided to happen. A soldier, with direct hit, shot a crocket right at me. I was out of metal, my sentry was busy supressing a heavy and medic combo, and it was only at 20ish health. I was scared, and out of nowhere, the f2p jumps into the crocket, dying, and saving my sentry. I was about to celebrate as the heavy and medic had been killed by my undisturbed sentry, but I heard a cloak right behind me, and at that moment my mouse decided to be a cunt. I heard a beep, coming from behind me, and the spy's body flew over me. It was the f2p engie's sentry. He placed it behind me and ran infront to protect my sentry. He did 500 hours worth of skill, and he thanked my five minutes of teaching. We won the game. I have no idea where that player is now. But damn I will never forget him.

[@themonkeyman2910]

I always wondered what “Pick” classes were. Then I realized. Pick classes like Scout, Sniper or Spy specialize in single target elimination. They aren’t suited to deal with large groups of enemies, but excel in duels. Power classes like Demoman, Soldier, and Heavy are front-line classes. They are meant to take lots of hits, or deal insane damage. They are much better suited for dealing with large groups then Pick classes. But can easily be overwhelmed if alone. Support classes like Engineer and Medic are self explanatory. They support the Pick and Power classes with healing, ammo, or teleports to the frontlines. They aren’t meant to be in combat, and are better suited to SUPPORTING their team.

[@victorvirgili4447]

Here’s some more details: -Pick classes are like assassins. They kill lone and distracted targets very effectively and can deal inmense burst damage, especially when flanking -Power classes are centered around feeling like a bossfight. They deal lots of damage and can tank a lot of hits, but that’s about it -Support classes often help Power classes a lot more, sometimes being able to turn a bossfight into pure unbridled amounts of destruction. Or they’re hoovies

[@ChloeBlueford]

Not only can pyro do all of those useful things, but they can also equip melee weapons that allow the destruction of sappers, so they can also help remove the sappers after they've torched the spy. Really helpful, especially if a spy played risky and killed the engineer before sapping everything.

I'd say that if your inside another Engi's nest you shouldn't necessarily be building anything except, maybe, a dispenser. And if you building a dispenser in between pushes, sharing metal I think would be a net positive before the next push.

[@ratedmformario]

the intro is adorable, watching Dane run around like a little baby rabbit

[@othernigel1916]

one time I was on a team with 6 engineers and we built a complex maze of nests. we of course won every round

[@lieutenantstalin7946]

This won't always work. Eventaually heavies spies and demos will over run you if valve players had any logical thoughts.

5 years later, the intro still makes me smile and tear up a little :). Thank you, Uncle Dane, for all you do for engineers and the tf2 community in general.

[@rachelnanshija251]

I don't understand op. Is this a joke? Halp.

[@lordkaos31]

When ever I hear about cooperative engineering all I can think about is one of my first times playing the class and getting into the game at this point I dint know about the ups and downs of level 2 vs 3 so I always just tried to get it to level 3 so I placed a sentry and went to go get more metal from. Spawn when I was stoped by the collective force of about 4 or 5 engines all with different wrenches and hats rushing past me to my sentry there were soo many I actually could not see my sentry about 2 or 3 second later they all scattered and just standing there was a level 3 sentry I laughed soo hard at the site I mean that was like I was redeploying a level 3 but so how faster I just stood and stared at the cluster of engies huddling around my level one by the way it wasn’t built yet that parts unimportant but I still think it’s interesting to think they deployed it built it leveled it up to 3 all within the span of 2 seconds!

[@MurriciTerceiro]

that might be funny af all of them screaming together like those Finding Nemo seagulls "MINE MINE MINE" around the sentry, and then they go away in an undefined mass build a nest

[@braedenmu5380]

I’m 2 years late to this joke but I have to You have heard of Pyrosharks, you might have heard of Scout Piranhas, but have you heard of ENGINEER SEAGULLS

[@lordkaos31]

About 3 years later I’m a lot better at engineer 300~400 hours playing the class(I don’t know I reset my numbers by accident)and still to this day this is one of the funniest moments I’ve ever had as engineer.

[@isaacschwartz659]

I play TF2 a lot and from experience playing spy I can say the hardest engi nests to take out have players helping are behind the main lines and have players and engineers keeping an eye on the sentry and if the sentry are spaced and the sentries are paid attention to by other classes my heart drops when I see a sentry nest like this because I know it will be a pain destroying it

[@TheDragomaster3]

Gibus Engineer: Do you want to build a sentry? Come on let's go defend. I don't think there are spies around, I'll help you out, I've got a wrench to lend! We used to be best engies, and now we're not. I wish you would tell me why! Do you want to build a sentry?

[@the_epic_memer553]

I think engie is in all categories. A shotgun for attack, sentry for Defense, and dispenser for support

[@gabrielhenson5751]

I remember when me and 4 other engies turned the entire last objective room into an engie nest. There were sentries and dispensers every where. The enemies couldn't even get close.

[@cmouse3415]

Grunkle Stane, the Mystery Main

[@mrmelancholy1700]

Here is another general engineering tip, but it also has implications on your fellow engineers. Remember, how you place your dispenser indirectly effects where your team may go to reliably get health and ammo. Depending on where you put you dispenser, you can either help or hurt your team.

[@jakep1126]

5:30 Shit I didn’t know I could steal metal... Thx Uncle Dane

[@reubenforever1]

I don’t think you can now, noticed yesterday when I confused who dispenser I was standing near. I’m a new player though, so don’t take my word for it.

[@calm6085]

@@reubenforever1 You still can, if you don't get metal from other dispensers its most likely there's no more metal inside and its refilling

[@cadenkat]

I just realized but the song at the start is a remix of “Do You Wanna Build A Snowman” from Frozen without lyrics. wow

Holy shit I can't believe it! Its me from 3 years ago. Anyways, yes Caden everyone knows this :/

[@magmamaster1801]

Glad I found this channel. While I consider myself pretty good at the game, Engi is a class I always considered myself to be shit at and I was afraid of it being boring because I thought turtleing was the correct way to play him. Now I am starting to realize that engineer is awesome and especially fun to play even on offense. You get to help your team keep up the pressure with teleporters, prevent enemies from regaining ground with sentries that are at the same time not as aggressively attacked as they would be on defense and you get to take pressure off your medics with the dispenser.

But Uncle Daaaaane.......two sentries mean two times the damage ( shhh-shhh f2p player who watched 30 seconds of the video)

[@AtomDarkheart]

When I get TF2, I'll be a F2P player, but I'll play like I'm a P2P player. I'm not a noob. Give me a week to learn and get used to the controls, and I may be the best engineer on the noobs' team. I mean, that's the way I am. It's like I'm pre-programmed with the ability to learn quickly.

[@ramoncasanova707]

i occasionally take metal only when i need it, and i always apologize and try to make it up, but only if im in an area with no metal, and i leave dispensers alone if theyre trying to upgrade i also love rescue rangering other buildings, but this video is pretty helpful because i did learn a couple of new tactics thank you

[@robertpoole9707]

I haven't even played TF2 in ages, and even when I will I most won't be playing Engineer, but still I love coming back to these videos for some reason. They're just really nice to watch.

[@jechxt9629]

People might not care or think it's real but one day (yesterday) on a valve server. My whole defending team went gunslinger engineer and we were able to defend the past point for 10 min. I'm trying to upload the whole last 5 min.

[@Arthromod]

That's amazing.

I would have blacklisted that server.

[@Leo_812]

+druckqqq considering it was the shitstorm of a map known as powerhouse, I'm honestly not surprised you and your team were able to achieve maximum cancer.

My team did that before. The other team didn't even cap the first point.

I was once in a Koth match where my team was being held down by the other team which was NOTHING but Snipers. Instant death for everyone who stepped outside. I still don't know how that happened.

idk if anyone will even see this, but five years after this video, and quite likely far far later in time, this hold's up great. dont skip over it just because it's not from *CURRENT YEAR*. yes, there are things missing. but that's what the other video's dane has made are for. go watch those aswell!

[@bardofvoid174]

I think a good analogy for grouping buildings together is that it's like 2 medics healing the same heal target; Yeah, they're *less* likely to die, kinda, but you also handicap eachother even more than you are more effective together, spreading your heals amongst your team is very much more effective.

[@TheSatansPotato]

Oh thank god someone is making this info clear. As a fellow Engie main it infuriates me when there are too many sentries grouped together (Valve should put these hints in the little training Section they have).

Not building their own dispenser drives me nuts, and I'm happy to help them build it, just don't drain mine.

[@princesscadance197]

6:50 I had another Engineer do that but with Dispensers. Was playing MVM on Mannhattan, placed my Dispenser behind that large gray barrel on first point, and the other Engineer placed theirs right next to it. Rescue Ranger'd mine away and placed it elsewhere because I knew it just took one or two explosives from a robot Demo or Soldier to reduce both Dispensers to scrap metal.

[@TheRealThundering]

Pro Tip put a sentry on a blind spot where enemies cant see it like behind a wall. Plus if you use a dispenser and a sentry together where the common place where people fight its more likely your team can be healed (twice as fast if there is a medic) and a sentry and cover it

[@Djangodamango]

Thank you uncle Dane you teach many valuable lessons to all engies!

[@thenabbitgamer]

Thanks, Dane! Now I understand the DO's of cooperative engineering.

[@frozeneevee]

I'll never forget when someone asked on voice chat while we where setting up defenses "is it gay to upgrade another engi's teleporter?" and someone responds "well, if you like it then ya"
