The teleporting wrench is a nice idea, but I can't bring myself to switch from my strange wrench.

On paper, the teleporter wrench is really powerful (when you tie it with a teleporter, you're effectively right next to your own spawn, anywhere!), but in practice I'm not comfortable being unable to move buildings from time to time.

[umiman]

Hey, that means if you ever get one, trade it to me.

Yeah, it does seem super specialized. But it's my engie's niche~

[miauw62]

I move my buildings around all the time.
Especially my dispenser on the middle floor of 2fort.
I MUST HAS THE PERFECT DISPENSER ANGLE! (i hope you know where this dispenser is placed on the middle 2fort level, else you should play more 2fort)

[PTTG??]

If only the teleporter wrench worked with THE CLAAAWWWW.

[umiman]

Yey, I got one~ Traded it for one scrap.

How's the new pyro laserguns?

[miauw62]

The manmelter?
Thats just a failed remake of the flaregun/detonator, the bullets go straight down nigh instantly. Really not worth it, unless youre a faggot phlog/bb pyro, ofc.
I prefer my shotty <3

I really don't see much point in not using a shotgun/reserve shooter unless you are use the phlog. Even with the backburner you can push your enemy in the air and shoot him. Altough I may be biased due to extensive use of degreaser and reserve shooter.

The flare does 90 if you hit a burning opponent, so puffing them back and shooting works almost as well as the Reserve Shooter (sometimes better, if you puff them back too far). The flare is also better at long range spam whereas the shotty/reserve shooter is better at medium range. Detonator is great at being really annoying, also flarejump ambushes.

[cameron]

yea with the flare you can take out heavies from far away which is rather useful on more open maps

I like the new Pyro stuff, kinda think the Detonator is a better weapon than the Manmelter, but the Manmelter has some nice situational perks (fire-eating being the main one). Flamethrower might be a little overpowered, but they all are, just in different ways. All the flamethrowers are situational, so they are both OP and useless, depending on the battle conditions.
Normal for the airblast-ninjas.
Backburner for the DPS ambushes/chasing.
Degreaser for the flare/quickdraw flame/quickdraw Axetinguisher comboes
Phlog for repeated skermishes followed by a major push.

Now if I could just get that Engie beam rifle... Pomson somethingsuch.

[umiman]

I have the Pomson. It's hilarious.

The hitbox on that thing is so ridiculously huge I feel like I'm shooting walls at enemies.

I got all the new weapons by trading two scrap for each. It's pretty neat, having all these traders.

Normal flares also give you the ability to 2 shot most classes (looking at the medic mostly) from right across the map, means it can be an absolute murder machine.  It is also a more powerful weapon for punting people up in the air then hammering then with a secondary than the reserve shooter on a dps scale.

  The new flare (manmelter) is really only good for 2 things, putting people out then getting a krit for it, though if the other team has alot of pyros you should probably be running the shottie, it also charges you meter for the phlog.

Pomson is the best gun in the game to get kritzed with.

Gahhh double ninja.

People keep saying you should use the Jag. This is wrong. The Jag's improvement is very small, and only appears if you sit still and wrench it the entire time. If you skip even one strike, then your sentry takes just as long to set up as before.

Yeah, I though it was awesome at first, but then I realized that I spent a lot more time looking for metal than actually banging on my buildings. And being able to club a spy is absolutely essential to an engineer. Southern Hospitality all the way.

I cannot stress this enough.

[miauw62]

To above, i must disagree.

MECHANICAL HAND ****YEAH!


(i dont really play with wrenches, just because i always end up turtling and playing very defensive, wich is boring, gunslinger is just so much fun to play with.
an example: smart spy thinks he is smart by sapping your mini-sentry, a bit afront of the base, causing you to scream "spy!" and alerting your team that there is a inbound spy. pyros are annoying tough, these usually get my mini quickly. so i a tip from me: put your mini-sentry in water whenever possible)

I propose that this update forever be known as the PAN update.
