Designing Engineer Weapons From Randomly Generated Stats

Weapon generators are fun to mess with for a while, but what if we took them further? Engineer has my favorite aesthetic out of all of the classes, so designing weapons for him was a lot of fun to do. All of his gear is a standard gun combined with some random gadgets, so the possibilities you have for him are practically endless. Let me know your name for the last weapon and any other stat suggestions you would give!

For the Primary, tagging an enemy should increase the sentry range considering you would be pretty weak when shooting and sentry is just as predictable, this without considering the skill needed to hit your target in order to get any benefits

[@blizzard2508-k7n]

I also wonder why it gave mini-crits to just the sentry. It would be really nice if it could mark for death to provide direct team support.

[@AmaroqStarwind]

Also, *on a headshot* the weapon should temporarily blind your target… if they’re looking in your general direction.

Aside from heavy, Engie is probably the class I to see updated the most. The only real big change he’s gotten is the gunslinger/mini sentry thing, and it’s insane to think that on all the time TF2 has been out, that’s the only change he’s gotten to his PDA. I would love to have stuff like mini dispensers, teleporters and possibly other new buildings aside from variations of the existing ones.

[@Moalei-Lolerfry-]

Yes

[@doublesystem9790]

engineer has a lot of variety, specially compared to heavy. Yeah mini sentries are the only different building, but he also has unlocks like the short circuit, rescue ranger, eureka effect and widowmaker, which are some of the most creative weapons in the game. not saying new buildings wouldn't be cool, i just think other classes need more work than him.

[@badideagenerator2315]

I feel like medic could also do with an update since he only has 13 weapons and his META loadout is incredibly dominant

[@bbittercoffee]

Yeah! I would love if I were to be able to build barriers/ramps instead of teleporters so I could help defend the front lines instead of making something that helps you get to the front lines. Man, I should really write this idea down and actually make a design for it, it was just a shower thought that I had as a kid but it could actually be useful...

[@TheGaming_Bay]

Same

[@BenevolentBratwurst]

I’m not sure if this was intentional, but the fact that “the Remedial Support” has ‘dial’ in it when a big part of the device is a big ol’ dial is fitting. Gotta say, I think your art is spot on for the Tf2 artstyle, and I’d love to see all of these in game. I’ve been wanting a single-shot slug type primary for the engineer for years (no, rescue ranger doesn’t count), and having it enhance sentry offensive performance would be a wonderful counterpart to the rescue ranger’s defensive flexibility. Having it uncap the sentry’s range on the target would be beautiful. Place down a mini sentry, and watch as you become a sniper with indirect fire. Finally, a contender for the wrangler! Jump boots would also be wonderful, I sentry jump a LOT, and though it’s not customary to see engineers in high places, I tend to end up there more often than not and the Houston Solution would accelerate the sentry jump process tremendously, at cost of combat capability in the second slot. Good work!

[@dapperfield595]

A Vaccinator-style PDA sounds interesting. Maybe like you can shift power output between your 3 buildings, making one a lot stronger while making the others weaker. It would be able to give the Sentry the ability to slow targets, Dispenser being able to overheal, and Teleporters transporting multiple passengers at once. Debuffs would be Sentry having less firerate, Dispensers having less healing/ammo/metal per second, and the Teleporter having longer recharge.

[@pattyg9092]

That would be a bit broken to be honest, since sentries have 150 metal worth of ammo. If you build one, then drain 4/5 of the ammo, you'd have 120 metal back and the sentry won't be any less effective.

[@I0NE007]

Minor thing: Oscilloscope. There is no second "i" but it definitely makes it more fun to say, nor is this a very common word outside of "if you know, you know" circles. Second, oscilloscopes aren't quite the same as the medical displays (but, yeah, definitely look similar enough and have a similar-enough function); oscilloscopes display the current voltage value for a signal, or multiple signals. Primarily for seeing how different parts of an electrical circuit is performing over time (when turning on, while idle, powering down, a switch is pulled). Then the heart rate/vitals monitor is "the above, but specifically for sensors/signals such as measures_heart_rate, measures_blood_pressure, and measures_blood_oxygen" instead of "whatever you can think to connect; such as, but not limited to, lamps, computer displays, "these two tiny alligator clips attached to your left ear," audio/speaker output, and "this large spool of wire that somehow acts as a radio antenna that we connected to the machine."" Similar to the phrase of "a square is a type of rectangle but a rectangle isn't a type of square."

[@boppertron4929]

I think it's better that it's an oscilloscope since it affects a building, so it's not specifically a heart rate monitor.

This looks like a really great loadout! But I think that there should be a stat on the shotgun that it deactivates the minicrit thing if you wrangle your sentry, because the wrangler gives the sentry infinite range and a faster firing speed (as far as I know) so it could be too op. Just make the targetting/minicrit system be disabled if you wrangle the sentry

[@jarow1396]

The remedial support would work well in a century nest with more than one engineer but the ability to not have infinite metal to repair your buildings really handicaps the engineer and also the model for the dispenser on the remedial support would need to be different so players would know it wasn't just a regular dispenser

Then again it sounds pretty similar to the rescue ranger so maybe something like “the railgun rodeo” that actualy sounds way better, also that would create some really cool design for boots, think of the quick fix backpack coils on the back of each boot with 2 railguns strapped to the side of each of the boots.

[@cowking2870]

Just a few thoughts for you. The shotgun wouldn't need a pump, it's single shot. Break action. Removing it would also do wonders for giving it more unique visual identity compared to the other shotguns. I think "The Lodestar" is a perfect pun in itself. TF2 has a habit of letting its jokes come across naturally; consider the Gloves of Running Urgently and the Killing Gloves of Boxing. The wordplay is enough on its own, and Lodestar sounds fantastic. Honestly surprised that such a perfect name existed and you found it.

If you think about it. The Remedial Support is a very good idea, as it would be the solution to a team that has very few Medics (I’m talking like two or fewer). It would basically open up its own subclass that I’ll call “Remedial Support Engies”.

[@orangechicken2262]

I fell like the Remedial Support should have been a wrench with a vita/ubersaw tube on it to represent how much dispenser overheal you have

[@gimok2k5]

The Boots: Plumber's Exo-Boots. Mostly because the final version with "crouch to charge super-jump" made me think "Super Mario Bros. 2" first, which has that very same mechanic. Ergo, Plumber. And Exo-Boot because it's an exo-skeleton, but only for the boot. The Shotgun/Rifle: Tactical Team-Tagger Slight change into making it a bit more dart/tranq-rifle like (basically a thinner barrel and it's break-open reload). As for the name, it's a more "tactical" choice on who you tag, and it tags the enemy team. Plus who doesn't love some silly alliteration every now and then? PDA: Mechanic's Patchjob. Because "patchjob" can refer to both a quick healing job or a quick and dirty repair job. Additionally, you were 100% focused on Dispenser - but what about also bringing in the Teleporter? Could be rather simple, like the Teleport gains charges and every time someone teleports with it, they gain some HP (with limited overheal, say 20 or 30 over). Charges would somehow be visible on it, too, for other players to see. Drawback then would be that the Teleporter would on Level 2 and 3 would recharge the teleportation slower to not be a straight upgrade.

[@Lordbowser666]

The remedical support could also let sentry's shot healing shots from time to time but with reduced damage and teleporter with resistances after going through it but with a slightly longer cooldown

[@CollinBuckman]

for the boot item you could also take design inspiration from the Roboot, an Engineer cosmetic that replaces his left foot with a mechanical one of a similar design to the Gunslinger.

I think that adding the ability for the dispenser to heal your buildings could be interesting.

Would probably have to be slower than just continually beating on the buildings.

[@zombies5100]

Engineer concept Weapon slot: PDA Pros: Sentry build speed increased by 50% Player deals mini-crit damage(with their own firearms) on enemies ignited by the sentry Cons: Replaces the Sentry with a flamethrower turret -Turret has less health and range of the normal sentry (The idea is that instead of a hulking sentry with lots of range, replaces it with a not as hefty sentry that has shorter range and fires hot flames at the enemy, sure the range is short but on small maps it could be interesting to experiment)

[@DarkStar-nw8ee]

For the Remedial Support, I think leaving a level 3 building at the health of a level 1 building is too harsh. -16% building health should put a level 3 building to exactly 1 health above a level 2 building.

Came up with another positive stat for that new shotgun… *On headshot, target is temporarily blinded if they are looking in your general direction.* As for the materials on the shotgun, I’d suggest a different anodized finish and a different wood stain based on which team you’re on, so it still looks like it’s obviously metal and wood (not painted), but there’s also a difference between each team.

But when I play him, I always get annoyed from some certain soldier, medic, or heavy. But the wrangler just never worked well with me when trying to defend against those players. And as a medic main, I’ve gotten fairly used to shooting the crossbow. So, having a one shot shotgun, that practically does the job of the wrangler but isn’t the wrangler, I think that it would actually be my go to primary. I would also advocate for the Lodestar to have a passive reload like how the crossbow does. But that’s probably just because I’m a medic main.

I think it would be cool if the dispenser built by the remedial support would have medical supplies in place of ammo in the actual dispenser model

The remedial support would be bashed to high hell and back by snipers, I mean you rarely see meds on casual (more than you used to in the past but still) so having suddenly a team that can survive quick 150 headshots consistently would make most of em very mad.

**When he calls the sling a strap** Also, I think that a Battery on the opposite side of the stock for Lone Star would match the overall aesthetic along with giving it a power source. I think that a front sight bead would also just make tie the entire weapon together as well. (P.S The Remedial Support is in desperate need of an antenna. Thanks!)
