The stock wrench is exactly what a stock weapon is: good in all situations, yet unspecialized for any one situation. The strange difference is that the wrench happens to have specialized options for EVERY situation. In addition, the wrench is one of the only weapons which you can easily predict when you should switch to a different specialization. A soldier can't predict if THIS LIFE they will run into a scout and need a shotgun, but an engineer can always predict when they are about to be pushed to the last control point.

[@aaronli8843]

​@@ananmaysahu4563 Bro, did you watch the video at all? The whole video is just him explaining why you should use different wrenches that aren't the stock: the Jag for setting up, the Eureka Effect for maintenance on any point except last, since the teleportation lets you fallback to the next point far faster than stock and it allows you to guard against spies who sap teleporter entrances, and the Southern Hospitality on last because why not? The content you just watched is literally all about the exact opposite opinion to the one you expressed, and if you actually watched the video and disagreed, please explain why he's wrong, I think that would be interesting.

[@fishstickonastick-gaming]

Kind of crazy how 6 years ago there was no reason to use the Jag over the stock Wrench, and now there's no reason to use the stock Wrench over any of the other options, especially the Jag. I hadn't really put much thought into it, but I think I noticed that whenever I use the stock Wrench, I just end up feeling slower and less effective. When I use the Jag, I just end up having way more fun. It's certainly an interesting series that's been put together when the ultimate conclusion is that the Pistol ends up being far more situationally useful than the item that the entire class is based around from the ground up.

So basically the stock wrench being a well-rounded wrench in all things an engineer needs to be doing is kind of outshone by the fact that not only every single one of those things has a sidegrade better suited for it, but the nature of those options also makes switching between wrenches fairly trivial...

Well it used to not be that way. A few years ago they changed that, but before, changing a wrench would demolish all of the buildings. So back then stock wrench really did have being universal and unspecialized as a strength. Although of course back then every single engineer wrench unlock worked differently so it's moot as a point of comparison xD.

The use of Halo soundtracks for these Stock Engineer videos speaks to me. The topic of the weapon sandbox, and how the stock starting weapons are important. It reminds me of how Halo's weapon sandbox was intentional such as the plasma rifle's ability to slow movement and turning speed. Each aspect of the engineer's sandbox is important, and like many weapons in Halo, some get overlooked. The Halo Assault Rifle fits that category well; always being overshadowed by precision starting weapons in many game modes. In halo CE it was the pistol that took the limelight. In Halo 2 and 3 BR starts turn the AR into an afterthought less worthwhile than melee or a grenade. I think its crucial for the general public to understands the importance of these weapons. They are in the sandbox for a reason, and your videos take that concept and paint an incredible picture.

[@metaforth1271]

In mvm I prefer eureka. It's incredibly useful to be able to pop straight back to spawn even if you have the upgrade. Given you can go it anywhere at anytime without a charge, upgrade, and get right back no matter where you are. The fact that it doesn't use a change is especially helpful on later waves when your teleporter may be more crowded. It may not seem like much given how fast a level 3 teleporter charges but given how chaotic later mvm waves can be, every second doesn't not doing damage can be detrimental to your team so the more that teleporter is charged the better. Then there's the case of being your teams second engie, which is when I like to run the disposable exit playstyle, basically treating my teleporter like the disposable sentry. Leaving it in a super dangerous spot like right next to your sentry knowing it won't cost you much, if anything, if destroyed so you can more effectively tank it.

Lately I really love the themes of your thumbnails

The description makes me realize a little more why you picked halo music.

I would say there is another scenario where the stock wrench shines over the rest: After using the Jag to fully upgrade your stuff at spawn of a koth map, the stock wrench shines for Level 3 wrenches, since it overall the most well rounded. Pyros are most common on koth maps, so the Southern Hospitality is out. The buildings are Level 3, so the Jag is out. And while spawn is some distance away, most koth maps don't have enough places to use the teleport to spawn feature of the Eureka Effect, so that's out. So, using the Stock Wrench is the preferred Level 3 wrench, though it's kinda outshined by the Gunslinger on koth. But, if you want to use a Level 3 Sentry, Stock Wrench is the best option.

I like when you list the really powerful weapons. You show the pan and golf club. The funny weapons.

Uncle Dane must be a Santa main for releasing a video for my bday, you are the best Papa Dane!

[@dominicallen5026]

Hey, Uncle Dane! I have a quick question. What settings are you using to have your HUD look like that, (health and ammunition right beside each other, and the removed team background from your player model)?

You forgot that Machete is an upgrade over everything else in any situation.

[@samsawesomeminecraft]

I think the stock wrench is the best generalist for ppl who don't want to bother switching their weapons on every respawn, especially on maps with short timers

[@sO_RoNerY]

I love the fact the stock wrench absorbs some of the heat while you’re on fire.
