You & Your Engineer

Not playing Engineer? Wanna do your best to assist the teammates who are? Well, you might wanna watch this easy little list of tips and tricks that you can use to make your friendly Engineer's life a tad bit less hectic. I figure there's like 500k+ of you out there, so at least one of you is bound to heal me eventually.

About overhealing engies: if you stay near a dispenser your overheal won't decay even if the medic is no longer healing you. This allows engineers to potentially stay buffed at 185 HP forever, or at least slow down the overheal decay rate. I think it's a recent addition, and a good one too

[@keecko8169]

A good tip in general for sentry usage is position in in such a way where the enemy would have to over extend to encounter it, but also when your team falls back the sentry has good enough cover and wide enough range to provide a frontline defense for about 10-30 seconds and it lets your team regroup and re-setup. The only time you want your sentry to be that main damage output is when noone else is alive on your team, on healthy enough to do it, hence you have to start falling back with the team, grab your dispenser, maybe shoot the sentry for some healing fi you have the rescue ranger for those extra few seconds of time to get your team ready.

5:05 i think a more apropriate description would be the sentry nests are the last line of defence. if the front line is killed or collapses inwards it is a line of respite where you can fall back, recover and push forwards. if the nest falls then any damage to the line is a terminal opening and a succesful enemy push is inevitable. protect your engies. and don't be a fool.

[@olgaskrivla]

Thanks for these informations!

[@Tornadoman4]

there's also something you can do to protect your engineers as sniper, equip the jarate and the tribal mans shive (for the bleeding effect) or the bushwhack (combed with the jarate for critz) and any sniper rifle/bow of your choice. you can use the jarate to track the spy, but you have to be successful with your hit to track him down tho, and the tribal mins shiv is used incase you don't have jarate at your disposal to track enemy spies. so you can use it for the bleeding effect for 6 sec to track down the spy and damage him quite a bit. i dont know about sniper rifles since none of them compare to the jarate and bushwhacker or tribal mans. but if there is a sniper rifle that can be used to help your fellow engineers, do tell.. i know this is a year old video but i think that this can still be heard and said. and plus, i think that this is a really good setup as a protective sniper, hey i should use that. the protective sniper loudout. thanks for reading this and hope you learned something from this comment and this video. because uncle dane. is a really good sentry man.

8:30 INVINCIBLE SENTRY. Genius, Dane. Genius. I've actually never thought of it, nor seen it happen in game. As a Medic main, I'll be sure to give the Engineer plenty of help whenever I can spare it.

[@ghost_ship_supreme]

Niv- Mizzet I've had it done to me before. Very nice when it happens. Even better when you're rushing to the point with a lvl 3 and ubered.

[@tylerbreau4544]

TBH, a lot of medics miss high-value plays in countering uber pushes. IMO there's 3 priorities... -staying alive -keeping the wrench engineer alive -keeping the airblasting pyro alive

For the metal pickup rule, most people agree that if the engie isn’t there, then the pyro would get the first dibs on pack because he needs it to spycheck and reflect

I have a binded loadout to use 4 wrenches (including the gunslinger), it's very useful while upgrading the teleporter, just one button near the spawn door and you don't need to go to the supply cabinet to refill metal, I also remove sappers when possible. I didn't know that overhealing the engineer was important, I do when I'm not under fire but I didn't know about that.

Dane i have to say thanks to you now that i know how to help another engi on the team, i will try to main engineer and i will start watching your tutorials I started with this so i can know how to help a teammate that i CAN help So thanks to you im able to play a very funny class for me to play

[@matheusrios4223]

when I used to play this game religiously as main engineer, I cant even count how much times I had little metal and a soldier picked up the only munitions box available nearby when I was upgrading my buildings, let alone count the times my team just gave me the middle finger about spies. until one good soul as pyro one day show up, decided to for some reason stay with me more regulary than anyone ever was besides other engineers (usually in a lower skill than mine so I was kind of teaching the poor guys) and then I realized... that pyro was spy checking and playing defensive (it was the old days of 2012 where ctf maps used to be played and make sense, gunslinger minisentry was AWESOME and mvm was still in the works). but most important, that pyro had a Home breaker. and when for one moment I was killed by a spy and though "oh god its over, my nest will be gone and I will need to build everything again" I was watching the spectator time and the pyro was there. he killed the spy and used his homebreaker to unsapp my buildings, all the 4 and stayed next to the sentry just to be sure no evil demo or soldier would appear. It was heartbreaking and made me main pyro too just to be more useful in games with filled eng spots :')

By the way, now that sappers deal more damage, I would recommend you to choose the homewrecker as pyro so that you can take out sapper easily with little to no risk.

3:42 In this scenario, if you happen to be a Pyro who always carry the Homewrecker/Neon Annihilator, you don't even need to switch to Engineer and take care of the problem right away. Though if you forgot to put it on it'd be faster to switch to Engineer.

another time ubering an engineer is great is when they have justice crits. going on a rampage and finishing people off with the pistol was some of the most fun i had as engie in a while.

[@Techhunter_Talon]

My added tip: If you see an Engineer who doesn't have, or isn't using, a Rescue Ranger then be sure to stick around him to help fend off possible threats when he grabs his buildings and moves them to a different location. Yes, he can always just plop down what ever he's carrying to switch to his guns to defend himself but the added fire power can mean the difference between a living Engi or a dead Engi.

Personally, I like to call demos who defend sentries with sticky traps Demobros

[@JohnDoe-gh2dw]

And engi that knows what he's doing with a good support team is pretty much unbeatable unless the opposing team is perfectly coordinated. Had one engi on defense who's whole team did everything they could to help him. Pybros checking for spies and airblasting uber pushes, snipers watching the engi's back at all times, scouts that went back to spawn to check for any spies going for the tele entrance, etc. Even a heavy helped out by using the fists of steel who's ONLY job was standing in front of the buildings to make it even harder to do any damage to them. Was a damn nightmare I hope to never deal with again.
