@@beefsteak195 It has a few other uses. If you use it on a building, the engineer cannot manually destroy it to build a new one, so if you use it on an abandoned mini sentry somewhere, the engineer is now too far to remove the sapper from it, and unable to lay a new one for a good 20 seconds or so. Removing an RTRmid downgrade or deconstruction will require the sentry to replay the upgrade/building animation before it can fire, meaning you get a little bit longer before it starts shooting again. Once an RTR even begins a downgrade it will also strip away any upgrade progress that was on the building. Once an RTR begins final deconstruction, it immediately empties a dispenser of all stored metal.

The primary fire taser should GIVE FIVE metal when you damage a player with it.

[@festivedarnspahs5676]

::( four eyes. Wow I is so funni and early you should like this comment

[@ChaosContrl]

An idea to revamp the Short Circuit primary fire: from how I see it, Valve kept the current primary fire of the Short Circuit to make it a small, short range pistol of sorts. This can be easily used as a falloff option when running out of Shotgun ammo and you are face to face with a somewhat low-health enemy. However, the base damage is simply too underwhelming to be really viable, as a Wrench could do the job more efficiently. Since the overall theme of the Engineer's weapons relies on top-notch gimmicks to cripple the enemy or support your own team or yourself, this is the only class with lots of buff or debuff tools other than "more or less damage" types (Soldier only has Cow Mangler for disabling sentries, Scout has Boston Basher to apply bleeding and Mad Milk for health on hit, Sniper has Jarate for mini-crits on hit, but the Engineer has the Pomson to reduce Uber and Cloak on hit, the Southern Hospitality for bleeding on hit, the Rescue Ranger for repair on hit and long range building teleportation, the Eureka Effect to teleport, ...). Those weapons do something definitely more science-fiction related than throwing a jar of piss at enemies, taking more damage for how embarrassing it is. The Short Circuit fits the former much better now, and that's why its primary fire should receive a few gimmicks on its own. The first one, since it's electric based, could be a slow down on hit effect for the primary fire only, the effect increasing for continued hits over time, up to 1 second for 70 % speed. That way, it rewards hitting escaping enemies, such as Spies cloaking or Scouts running. The other effect, up-to-debate, is a damage ramp up on hit, up to 3 times the base damage after 1 second of constant hits. By doing so, with a base damage of 10, this makes the Short Circuit reach 30 dmg per hit after 1 second, dealing more damage than the stock Pistol but not as great as a Shotgun. This rewards players for aiming close range enemies that are fleeing your sentry or when you run out of Shotgun ammo and needs more damage up-close. It's not overpowered since you cannot shoot at medium ranges, meaning this weapon's primary fire is designed for close quarters fights. Coupled with the Rescue Ranger, you can use the ranger for longer shots and repairs while the Short Circuit provides some form of defense up-close, being removing projectiles or slowing down and damaging the approaching enemy further. It still costs metal so it doesn't make this secondary a primary weapon, and is best used to finish off enemies or catch Spies and Scouts more effectively. It can also be used after firing a ball to start crippling down enemy Soldiers without the need to switch weapons, especially when they are on low-health, but not on a buffed up Soldier (full health, overheal, etc), and then switch to your Shotgun when other enemies (Pyros, Heavies) approach. The Engineer is a really smart guy, and he figures out ways to make his enemies' life the worst possible for the benefit of his own and his team's.

[@theswarmsquad3606]

ChaosContrl oh

[@CTF_Doc]

This is an amazing idea, wish valve would listen. For the heck of it, maybe add just a little more base damage to let's say 15 damage plus ramp up equalling to 45 damage for 1 second of constant damage. That makes viable and isn't overpowered. Also add a larger hit radius so that cloaked spies could be hit more effectively

[@CTF_Doc]

Also very unappreciated comment by an intellectual. Wish more people are like you mate

@@AleK0451 In fighting games, an "option-select" is when you perform something that has multiple functions, and it covers an opponents "options", which is essentially what the Engie did in that example. Had a mini sentry ready for backup, used the short circuit to eat up Soldier's projectile, and had the shotgun to damage someone; if the soldier backs up, he walks into the laser. If he gets closer, he gets shotgunned. If he rocketjumps, he'll get shot by a mini sentry.

[@Tr0lliPop]

so you are saying that this weapon encourages mindgames? amazing! can't wait to get this weapon and use it in a pub that I am not allowed to communicate in any way (not even medic calls) in!

[@zedbags]

The 'Blue Moon' at the beginning hit my right in the nostalgia. It's been too long since I've played New Vegas.

[@mamamiazakaria7481]

Oh no, Weebs are starting to main Engie too! Sniper, Spy and Pyro were already major losses! NOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@nonptat]

anime 👏 is 👏 a 👏 style 👏 nothing 👏 more

[@jeeBisOkay]

There's also the fact that Heavy got cosmetics straight from JJBA in the Blue Moon update TF2 is anime now

[@chainsmoke34]

As an Engie main, fucking kill me

[@mysoncrumphaseveryinjury3853]

Weeaboisation of TF2 had officially started. The debut of Starboard Crusader and Tsar Platinum is only the beginning...

SkeletonOps! Welcome to Weeb Fortress 2, after 9 years in development, hopefully it will have been worth the weight.

The primary fire of the Short Circuit is like a mini short ranged pistol, in case you don't have any shotgun bullets ready and need to finish off or defend yourself, more so if you lack the 65 metal required to fire a ball, or you don't want to waste what remaining metal on one for a single enemy. It has the same rate of fire, but to not be too good, it reduces the damage per "shot", so a pistol is still viable for those situations. Also, for the same amount of metal, you can deal more damage on the course of a little more time, as 10 damage * 13 shots of 5 metal each (for a total of 65 metal) = 130 damage, compared to 15+. So, the way I see it, it's both a pistol and a projectile eraser, and aiming skills + fast, good decision making = one of the best all around secondary weapon for Engineer.

[@judebreheny3925]

That might genuinely be the best intro on youtube.

[@springlz3892]

One thing I like using the new circuit for is assisting offensive pushes. Often I find it can be more useful to cast a short-term projectile defense around your advancing medic combo so he doesn't have to uber as soon, or even just to lead the team with a safety blanket where soldiers and demomen can't 2shot half the push or just get a random crit and stop the entire thing right then and there, rather than just pestering from a distance with a wrangled gun. After all, usually, and especially on maps like pl_badwater, the enemy has a solid wall between you and them and going past that wall puts you in the sights of the entire enemy team who will see the glowing line indicating exactly where your gun is.

HOLY CRAP TWO YEARS LATER REWATCHING THIS I KNOW THE INTRO MUSIC Hotline Miami is amazing. Maybe they found the music by itself, but that would be less likely I believe.

Am i the only one who got an MDE vibe from the intro?

Thanks for the Blue Moon remix at the beginning

[@StickMaster500]

The Short Circuit has probably been one of the most changed weapon in the entire game. In total, it has been changed at least 7 times since it was first introduced from it being not so good to really good to good but annoying and now somewhat balanced. I think after watching this video, I’ll use this weapon much more as it has the potential to be a great weapon however I feel like it needs some more changes for it to be in a good spot and not be changed anymore. I feel like they could make the primary fire actually useful by making it gives health on hit and for the Alt-Fire projectile, they could make it so it takes 50 metal to fire the projectile so you can fire 4 shots instead of 3 and maybe make the projectile travel further and deal more damage and I think with these changes, people will start using this potentially great weapon!

[@weavilemaster123321]

Cyka Squad he is the god of youtube. All hail stickmaster

[@arat8591]

StickMaster500 YOU'RE EVERYWHERE I SEE!

[@pastelet]

StickMaster500 about the part of spending 50 metal, I think its gud. But they really should rework that pathetic M1 "shoot"

[@Silvanor0]

doctor dank no, he isn't. The real long lost god and Legend is spookwagen, stickmaster is just trying to be one.

[@charley2714]

I just realized the song is the beginning is Blue Moon, which is the name of the update in which these changes happened. That's the level of quality you come to expect from this channel.

[@ajarofpickles2826]

Ridiculous, over the top, completely nonsensical. I would expect nothing less from TF2

[@spacesponge8732]

1: Dane, you're my favorite uncle. 2: I think I can understand the procrastination, but I'm not sure. I like to procrastinate a whole lot, but I don't have anyone waiting. 3: I really like your schedule. Videos aren't so close together that I think, "Ehh, it's Dane, I'll watch it later," but it isn't so far apart that I stop caring. For example, while I love Ross Scott's Freeman's Mind, it just takes so long between episodes that I lose interest. 4: Whatever you do, Dane, I'll like it. Don't stop doin' you, man. 5: I know you probably don't care, but hey, I might as well write this in case it inspires you or some romantic crap. If you hate this comment and it makes you feel awful, sorry. 0.5: This is about the stuff at the very beginning.

[@tappajaav]

Quality over quantity.

[@PXTSERYU_]

Very late reply owing to this video being uploaded years ago, but that procrastination bit in the intro hit way too close to home. Good lord.

[@TheDunsparceGames]

for the short circuit mindgames section, id like to bring up a comparison from pokemon battles of all things. in particular the move sucker punch. sucker punch is a powerful attack that usually has priority over other moves, meaning the user will deal damage first. however, sucker punch completely fails if the target didnt use a move that deals damage (i.e. thunderbolt). this leads to some crazy mindgames where the player who wins usually comes out on top, like in the short circuit vs soldier example. it just makes certain interactions more fun

[@Kapin05]

W O A H What if they made Engie ambidextrous so that he could use the shotgun in his left hand as primary fire and the short circuit as his right arm as secondary fire?! HAS SCIENCE GONE TOO FAR?!

[@Zmeeed01]

Kra Z Kapin then the Engineer would probably need some special primary weapon that doesn't need to be reloaded after each shot unlike a pump-action shotgun. I'm honestly looking up for that. :)

[@Kapin05]

Like the Sniper's SMG but primary?

[@Zmeeed01]

Kra Z Kapin could be an option, but since Engineer seems to be the shotgun specialist, an autoreloading shotgun like XM1014 from Counter-Strike (but with a much doper design that would fit the TF2 style) would probably fit him better. Now that I'm thinking about it, the Widowmaker could be reworked for that because it reloads itself in fact. But as a downside for not holding the gun in both arms it could have a wider pellet spread or much slower fire rate to compensate for the added firepower from the Pistol or the Short Circuit.

[@Kapin05]

The Defrenestruction PDA

[@Zmeeed01]

I thought of a similar thing once: upon taunting while hauling a building Engi throws their packed building straight forward after about 1-1.5 seconds of delay. The building is then destroyed but it can taunt kill someone. :D

[@TrivTrivBoy]

9:15 This may be a bit lackluster compared to what "else" happened, but you should also note that any shots that were absorbed hinder the /projectile classes/ ability to sustain a fight. The soldier you showed in this example fired two shots. In the scenario, if the soldier were to continue to fight the engineer, his chances would already be slim as a rocket launcher with two shots is literally half as effective as the full 4. Also just a personal thing, but you should consider the potential of the panic attack "Zap Attack" combo, where you let out a ball and chase it into an enemy, going for Force of nature powerful meat shots with the panic attack, being able to close such distance with safety due to how the new panic attack works and how disruptive a big screen-shaking ball of continuous energy damage is. Love your videos dane notice me

After rewatching this video for YEARS, I just noticed that the song at the start is Blue Moon for the UPDATE, HOW DID I NEVER NOTICE THAT BEFORE?!
