The best sentry spot on Dustbowl

in my personal opinion, at least
sentry spot stolen from a TF2 KZbinr named Baller

[@theunchosendude5446]

If you're going to use this spot, I recommend building it a bit more to the right. It's a small mistake to build it where I did because it doesn't cover as much area, which is why the demo was free to try and snipe my sentry from afar.

[@pwned3281]

dude 3300 hours on steam and plenty of time on my xbox 360 and I STILL see the coolest shit ever - tyvm I'm actually gonna' do this at some point now hahaha i've never seen an engineer do this for some reason you are a GENIUS you have the PhDs Dell has in the comics with that galaxy brain the BEST engie hahahaha

Funny enough I actually stole this spot from someone else, and after I posted this video I got recommended another video posted earlier than mine where a guy used the same spot.

🚨🚨 DISPENSER DOWN! PUSH IN! 🚨🚨

[@ruileite4579]

0:43 nice dispenser pick

[@theunchosendude5446]

It's the all important dispenser pick!

[@grandpac.1188]

The thing is, if your team doesn't clear that area, or a demo is aware enough to notice that, it won't work. I love to do that but it almost never works. Also you don't need to jump, you can reach it from there, or at least it does for me lol.

[@theunchosendude5446]

Yeah, that's true. That's why I jumped over initially to make sure the area was relatively clear.

[@pwned3281]

One option I would consider is if you notice your team doing a fat, juicy PUSH - then maybe it is worth considering..! I love to move my sentries up alongside with uber since worst case scenario (depending on circumstance, of course!) my sentry breaks, I pull back and build a new one in ~20 secs with a dispenser. . . I can certainly see the value of using this as a sort of "Blitzkreig" tactic to support an uber push since there are only so many bad guys, and they can only shoot so many things. So even if you don't CLEAN HOUSE, you are still helping split fire, soften enemies up, and further apply pressure that completely derails things if they let the sentry finish building and unload hahahaha

[@theunchosendude5446]

Yeah, moving up with a team push is a really great idea. If I don't trust my team enough, I'll put my sentry a bit behind their push so that if their push fails and they fall back, the enemy team will be met with a hail of bullets from my sentry, giving my team a safe place to fall back to without losing too much ground. Of course, the more aggressive way is to put your sentry right up to the place where your team is pushing. This is effective as well, but you should also make sure your team is good enough, lest the push fails and your sentry just gets demolished instantly. Even with a dispenser full of metal, it's a tad annoying to have to retreat back to it just to rebuild my sentry

[@angusmcclelland4862]

I mean that's just attack engineer in general if your team can't clear the area you'll usually just get wiped

[@gman7549]

i use that spot in the red team, no many soldiers and demo know how to attack that point

[@theunchosendude5446]

Yeah, the natural cover it provides makes it a good and aggressive sentry spot for defense as well. However, if the red team doesn't build a sentry there, then why not build one for them?

[@cielopachirisu929]

Not bad! Though, a single demo standing where that RED dispenser is (which is a good spot for RED Demos to camp and spam nades partly because of it being a common dispenser spot) could shut that down in the span of a few seconds.

[@theunchosendude5446]

Yeah, as stated in the pinned comment, the spot would've been better if I place it more to the right. If the demo that was sniping my sentry was actually good at being a demo, he would've taken it down easily.
