Engie Brain #1 - Payload Defense

It's like... Uncle Dane the Engie Brain... get it? Shout out to Mr. Paladin and HiGPS. When I think back to all of the times I've genuinely learned something new about how to improve at TF2 from a KZbin video, most of the time it was because of their gameplay reviews.
My discord, socials, TF2 servers, merch, information about my in-game settings, and video credits (such as the music used in my videos) can be found on my website at uncledane.com

[@carljohan9265]

Pro tip from someone who has quite a lot of engie and medic experience: Prioritize getting those teleports up. A steady stream of allies teleporting in > a sentry. An engie nest with no teleport is a wastly inferior nest. This is why my fav wrench is the eureka effect since it allows me to jump back to spawn to re-build the tele entrance when it gets destroyed. Also, in general you want to build all your things and then get everything up to level 2 before you start upgrading to level 3. The sentry gets it's full firepower on level 2 (rockets are just a lucky bonus if they hit), teleports go from 10 second recharge to 5 (a HUGE difference) and dispensers go from abyssmally bad metal regen and heal rate to a rate that is actually useful. The level 3 upgrades give less for the same price. Of course, there are always exceptions as sometimes you need to get 1 specific thing up faster/higher level then the rest, but that's my general rule of thumb. PS. Never build sentries next to other ally sentries unless you want to get KABOOOM'd, and never steal metal from another engies dispenser unless you have buildt your own first (or use the metal you take to upgrade the dispenser you take it from). You will get so much gratitude in return from your ally engineers.
