Unoffical New Engie Weapon Discussion

Also, does it say anything about range limitations? Think about this... level 3 sentry on your battlements in Teufort clearing off the opposite battlement.

The blog post also doesn't say anything about being able to shoot the sentry and the post says is that you can aim the sentry. Chances are that you can shoot it but heres some food for thought.

wow.

being able to shoot & aim your sentry would completely redefine the sentry placement strategy. With no limitation on distance, you'd be free to place your sentry as far away from battle (while maintaining line-of-site) as you liked.

This would change everything.

On Goldrush, 1st stage, a red engi could place a sentry on the complete opposite side of the initial cap point, and fire on blu team as they left spawn. From that distance, even an uberd demo wouldn't be able to reach it...

Really hope this isn't the case...
 
guess we will have to play with the new weapons before we can speculate, this is still one update that I cant wait to come out. I wonder what the next weapon will be.
 
There's a reason sentries have a short range in the first place, eh? Maybe they'll be smart and have the bullets disappear or something when they pass the range barrier

This is what I'm wondering because if so then that makes spies AWESOME against these types of engies. I can't imagine....3 seconds to sap a sentry....that is soooooooooo long. Color me excited.

kinda but the engy can aim the gun at the spys now and engys working in pairs will be sweet. 1 aims and one fixes
 
There has been talk of a Guitar, and Im gonna put my 2-bits in.

Guitar CANNOT happen, unless its a taunt where he pulls out one.

Ever wonder how in heck you would try to repair your sentry with a guitar?

Put it in a different slot? then you have 2 melees


Guitar=Taunt for something bigger and better.

Why are you restraining it to melee? I'm calling a guitar secondary, and no melee unlock. also no new buildings. I called it a while ago, and if it's right, watersnake owes me 5k CC. ;)

Anyhow... as of right now, 2 wrenches to go before new stuff. Lots of good discussion in this thread... if only the SPUF were so intellectual :p
 
I still wouldn't place my bet on that being the last unlock. Like they said in the blog post, it's a community weapon. Chances are, there's still a new Valve made weapon for us.

Also, I agree with QuickSkope on the guitar thing. I also think it's just a taunt. I do want to point out, that it could also be a secondary weapon and work similarly to the Buff Banner, giving your team some kind of a bonus.
 
I think the wrench turns you into valves idea of a austrailian. The engies grandpa is shirtless, muscular, and has a bigger mustache in the first hidden picture.

Heh, just found this; has anyone posted it yet? I noticed the other hidden link, but not this one.

A quick speculation is that you can pick up your sentry and move it (somehow), at the loss of upgrading to level 3, maybe? Someone owes me 10k CC if I'm right! >:

I hate this idea, valve should make a whole new pda building stuff for sentries, they need new stuff, not the ability to move it but something awesomer... :|
