Moving That Gear Up! (And Back) | Engineering 101

So, you've just started getting the hang of Engineer. You can build a sentry in all the best spots on all your favorite maps and you get a ton of 3pic killz. But what do you do when the enemy team has the upper hand and is closing in on your precious nest? And when are the best times for you to get "packin' up" to keep that Engie train a rollin'? Well scroll back up and get to watchin', dingus - that's exactly what this video is about.
Music is from the Team Fortress 2 soundtrack.
Sorry this video is 30fps, I swear the project settings say it was supposed to render out to 60, but Sony Vegas likes to play PRANKS on me and I didn't notice until I already uploaded it.
BONUS TRIVIA: this video took me like 4 days longer to make than I anticipated because it was a living nightmare to get footage of a pub team actually coordinating in some fashion. I blame it on the lack of game sense. Hopefully this video helps and I won't have to pull all of my chest hair out in frustration again.

Space It still follows the principle of "stronger over time"- the gunslinger as an actual weapon is situational and the Frontier Justice is just a regular shotgun until your sentry gets kills/assists. After going for a while, then Engie becomes more powerful with crit from his mini's work.

But even if you have accuracy and damage, you still need to worry about staying alive and killing them before you get down. The Gunslinger might be able to make you able to survive through dangerous situations with the 150 hp but that still doesn't mean you can be reckless most of the time.

[@Chr0n0s38]

Getting a bunch of kills is not the same as being successful. You can kill almost the entire enemy team by their spawn, but if a spy slips through and spy caps were you successful? Picking off enemies with low health away from the point doesn't stop enemies with more health from winning, and you're weakening your team by removing your sentry, and your own shotgun.

You're making a pretty common mistake, Dane. You stand on the teleporter exit. A spy could come through it at any time (except setup time lol).

[@UncleDane]

I'm more likely to get stabbed with my back exposed than to get telefragged by a Spy. So I prefer to put my back against a wall, even if it means standing on my teleporter for a few seconds. To be honest, I can't even remember the last time I was telefragged by a Spy.

[@justmovedin]

Uncle Dane I like to keep turning around between every swing while not standing on the teleporter to maximise safety against spies.

About teleporters: You said that we should place them in a passive position (4:59), but in my opinion, if you can sneak behind the frontline, and find a relatively safe place near the enemy base, that teleport can be a big suprise against the enemy. A good suprise teleport spot is on Granary. I always managed to go behind the frontline, and placed the teleport literally inside their base building, hidden between the missiles. You just have to be lucky enough to not go in the building when an enemy just respawned.

[@ipressedon9289]

As a rule of thumb, it should be a bit passive. However, there are exceptions to nearly every rule. If you can make a good sneaky teleporter that leaves the enemy team with their pants down, do so. Of course, such opportunities to do a ninja-teleporter are kind of rare.

[@doommaker4000]

Never heard if Ninjaneering?

[@serPomiz]

ninjaneering work only for short bursts of time: sneaking teleport behind the enemy line usually works if done in the correct window of opportunity, and that leaves lesseffective positon for a teleporter. building another teleporter in the same place right after your previus goes down is not gonna work

Best to just fall back and figure out what to do next based on who on your team is still alive.

[@yun215886]

[@amittenforkitten7016]

here are a few more tips for engie: At first place your sentry at a place that it will still be useful but not get as many hits off. then, upgrade it then use sentry jump to get over to a place and the rescue ranger to pick it up. then place it down. or you could walk over there if you want to take a risk and don't have either of the weppons required to do that or the skill. Also, make sure to place the sentry at a surprising place so when they walk by it they won't see it and die. a good place for this would be behind a wall so when they go past that wall the sentry Is there. it could be behind a wall to where they would be going forward and the sentry would be behind them and kill them, but a place like that is hard to find. also, always place the sentry to where it can hit anywhere that things can hit it.

[@SuperTf2rocks]

I'm early, gotta make a joke Medic Mains

[@theramman6608]

Dang

[@fanoflego456]

May I ask, what class do you main?

[@theramman6608]

TheNatMan I main Sniper.

[@fanoflego456]

***** I actually main medic, but that is because the team usually needs it. My favourite is probably pyro.

[@trop7736]

***** If I want to pointlessly flame I will

[@alanbareiro6806]

Holy shit! B4nny senpai noticed you!

[@JustAlfy]

5:30 omg thanks for mentioning that! Problem #1 of teleporters in my experience, people always make them so im facing the wall when i arrive and i have to turn around and usually get ambushed

[@EmethMatthew]

Love it! Awesome stuff!

[@zp6182]

Do a 'How to torbjorn'. Oh wait. That vid will last 45 seconds.

[@SinisterPixel]

To be fair it may be the fact that I was an Engi main too, but Torb players in Quickplay bug me endlessly with obvious bad decisions and the likes.

[@zp6182]

While engie has a respectable skill ceiling, torb is just a bad character that needs to be reworked completely imo.

[@SinisterPixel]

Junnn H I mean if you think about the very nature of Overwatch, Torb's character design is very clever. He's essentially an Engineer built to work in fast moving environments. His actual design, being short too is pure genius since it means a Torb can quickly figure out a Turret's line of site since they're just as tall as him. I thinbk what you've got to remember is that while TF2 is a more tech heavy game in terms of skill ceiling, a lot of Overwatch comes down to movement and situational awareness, as well as team coordination. Having said that I don't play a whole lot of Torb soooo.

[@TheFrantastic]

@@zp6182 Guess what, he has been reworked.

[@sandrabuttaci258]

y'see, this is why I'm a medic main. All dis strategic placement is too much for my peanut-sized brain. Its much nicer to have someone be your bodyguard while you help them rip babies to shreds.

[@somemadman262]

too tru

[@fattytan1377]

Sadly not much medics exist

[@tomshep5258]

Great vid dane, so informative ive been waiting for a vid like this for ages, also ffs b4nny xD

[@enchanter1102]

6:33 that Scout's ragdoll lol

[@Firemaster102]

Hey, If you want nice practice with leaving your base to be destroyed, go on Saxton Hale or Freak Fortress 2 servers. You'll Have to leave your base behind if you wanna live & have a chance at beating the Hale. & as a Sniper main, I've learned to pick my fights(Well, the people come to you so, I just do my best to deal with it).

[@lyohi8807]

Last video: Dont stay near to your teleporter when u arr upgrading it. This video: 9:50

[@tptlast876]

this is a really thought out video on how to use engi properly thanks Dane 😊

[@nicholasrienstra3844]

I love how Dane on upward he puts his fav tele spot as just right

[@Ze_Medic]

skillful to walk away? no, I can just turn around and press w, no skill....

[@nobgs4505]

Ze Medic You don't know how many engies are too dedicated to their buildings. If you run while you still can, you can potentially avoid a useless death and start building where you next need to much quicker. Those respawn times can mean the difference between victory and defeat.

[@maplemaple1439]

Ze Medic what you said is the stupidest thing to do, especially as a weak class like medic. In most cases, backpedaling is good, run backwards that way you can keep track of enemies and apply pressure, even if it's just some needles, it's even better as pyro as you can airblast projectiles to slow them down. Although you still want to backpedal in unpredictable ways, that was a spy or sniper can't get you by suprise

[@mateuszodrzywoek8658]

Surprise... BUTTSECKS! **stab**

[@orangesaregood1568]

Congrats on 450,000 subs!

[@tadeojablonski105]

Really useful video! Really, your videos are really helpfull for engineering, specially for people with problems with their buildings!

[@gra_potemkin]

That last clip where you catch the enemy engie off guard with a lvl3 sentry going up. Excellent.

[@acrazyguy14]

Even after well over 1000 hours in this game, I still feel like I learn something from these videos.
