Engineering 101: Tools Of The Trade

The series finale of Engineer 101 is finally here! I started making these videos back in 2015 as a way of teaching TF2 players who are new to Engineer the basics of the class as well as ways to make their personal Engie gameplay a bit better. After this episode, which covers all of the leftover tips and tricks that aren’t really specific to anything worthy of a full video, I believe that any other topics I plan on going over in the future wouldn’t really be considered “beginner-level”. So this is the final episode, hope you guys enjoy it! More Engineer tutorials are on the way.
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

You know, I always knew that destroyed buildings gave out ammo but I never thought of it as a viable strategy to use in-game. Wouldn't it be a bit more ideal to build the teleporters since they're the cheapest and then destroy them? Or do teleporters give less metal gibs to use as ammo? Either way woot we graduated from Engineer 101. Also the sound the Scout's corpse makes at 5:52 was a nice touch, I laughed a bit harder than I should have.

[@swansyboy8512]

Fuck me, I didn't even hear that! Disclaimer: Don't actually fuck me.

[@Eira_]

Teleporters only give 4 gibs so dispensers would be better also you team already uses the dispenser for ammo so they aren't missing out on much by you destroying it, but they rely on teleporters to get to the front line not to get ammo so overall it just makes more sense to do this to the dispenser

[@SunSun-sk4si]

Just A Random Dood Also takes slightly longer to gib two teles instead of one dispenser, so depending on how urgent your team needs the ammo, that's a consideration. But ye, generally teles are better to gib than dispensers (given that you aren't already using teleporters, which you likely will already be using and thus can't gib without handicapping your team immensely).

[@SunSun-sk4si]

Just A Random Dood Was mostly referring to manual destroys, but yeah, obviously scripts will compress the entire process into one click. But still, if you don't have a teleport up already, you're already hindering your team by not having one up. Just get the tele up instead of giving your team slightly more ammo :3

[@D0NU75]

if their firepower is good and they need the ammo, i'd rather destroy a passive sentry while i whack a new dispenser, destroying buildings can look like a good idea but it's metal you aren't getting back immediately and Dispenser will always be a better investment of your metal, you can build a dispenser and get it to lvl 2 sacrificing your sentry, instead of a lvl 1 dispenser after blowing it out once while your sentry sits there doing nothing

A little tid bit is that picking up and placing teleporters removed the cooldown for teleportation, which is useless in most situations, but can be very nice when using a level 1 teleporter, which can function pretty much at the speed of a level 2 due to the redeploy time being 5 seconds without needing to go through the upgrade animation, so youre saving 5 seconds on each teammate basically, just remember to redeploy the exist or the entrance only

Actually I've thought of that strategy too where you place your sentry facing the wall so people get in too deep to retreat BUT I've noticed it's not that effective because as soon experienced players hear that beeping noise that sentry does when it spots an enemy they instantly back out even though they don't know where sentry is exactly. And correctly facing sentry is more than enough for inexperienced players. :/ And thank god you take it seriously! There are already too many how to soldier/scout/sniper/spy videos but not enough Engie videos. I love playing support like Medic and Engie because at the end you actually can see that due to your help your team won. So please do keep doing these awesome high quality videos man! :)

About the dispenser giving double ammo and metal when being stood on, this also works for enemy spies. I discovered this by accident during the last Halloween event when an engi built a dispenser in a good spot to take potshots at Monoculous. I noticed I was getting double the ammo amount whenever I had to reload. Of course, the spy does need to be disguised for this to work, and I'd also suggest only doing this during the Halloween event maps.

One thing to note about Recharge Skipping for Teleporters: make sure you don't do the final upgrade hit until the recharge actually starts, because then a bug happens where you still have to wait kind of a long time (not sure if it's equivalent to still getting the recharge), while to your team, it looks like the other end got destroyed (unless they pay attention to the killfeed). I've botched so many Skips in my days, and I only recently learned what the trick is, thanks to this video. :)

I actually figured out on my own the logic of placing a sentry facing the wall. I felt so smart and satisfied at the time, and that was because I put effort into playing in different ways that aren't necessarily the meta or something like that. So, as Dane said, I suggest anyone that plays the game to experiment, and play in unexpected ways. It is like playing a new game altogether, and it feels amazing.

[@flwtheleader]

Woah,didnt knew TF2 supported VR...

[@TF2CrunchyFrog]

Yeah, Valve added that a couple years ago. There is even a console command you can use to force "true first person view" even if you are not playing with VR. Just type into the console: cl_first_person_uses_world_model 1 To de-activate it, type into console: cl_first_person_uses_world_model 0 The command binds the virtual camera to your character model's head, instead of their chest where it usually is, and simulates seeing your character from world view instead of client view. Meaning you can see your character's body and feet when you look down, any equipped cosmetic items (and worn items in weapons slots, like the Soldier's Gunboats boots), a bit of your shoulders if you turn the mouse slightly (so that the character swivels its head without fully turning the body). If you look up while weapon an Unusual quality hat with any floating particle effect (liike i.e. clouds or the Halloween pentacles), you can see the Unusual effect above you, while confetti will constantly rain down in front of your face and circling effects can obstruct your view). Oh, and you can see your shadow on the ground (depending on environmental light conditions on the map). The view mode can generate some weird visual glitches for you though, as it only simulates world view (so it's not exactly what other players see). There will be weird clipping with certain cosmetics. The Demoman's shoulder parrot can clip into your "face" when you look at it. Rocket-jumping with Gunboats or Mantreads on often makes the "weapon" boots float above your body model's stock boots, so that you see both pairs of boots.

Here's another tip: There's a certain position around a dispenser which allows you to upgrade it and not take any metal from it while it constantly stores newer metal. For instance, your dispenser is at level 1 and it has some metal stored. If you happen to have ammo packs around (from dead teammates for example) you can use them to upgrade the dispenser to level 2. Then that metal stored in the dispenser which you could've used draining 40 metal per pick becomes 50 metal. Basically you allow the dispenser to get a more valuable reserve of metal without draining it and at the same time, you can upgrade it via other metal sources. It's not like a fact outta this world, but it's interesting when it comes to situations where you got ammo packs around and want the dispenser at its full potential quickly

Random crits should not be removed from team fortress 2

Going off of the dispenser destroy tactic, an idea for an engineer weapon would be a back pack or pack that the engineer can wear. the backpack can allow him to hand out medium ammo packs to team mates, buy finding and storing packs from around the map. the engineer could hold four medium ammo packs or six light ammo paces or two full ammo packs (but not say two different sized packs at the same time). This would also half to be a replacement for the dispenser.

Speaking of the cart being like a level one dispenser, here’s a helpful heavy tip. You walk a bit faster than the cart while firing you minigun and the cart refills your ammo faster than you can dish out bullets. You can stand next to the cart and continuously fire your gun. Side note: this might not work depending on the minigun you have equipped.
