"From what I can tell, you build a tele trap, a mini sentry behind the trap. Get in the tele trap, destroy bottom tele, shoot upward so you're being shot while hovering in air, it'll register the push force, but you won't go anywhere, then you destroy the tele on top, and you fling."

Genius!

The future of engineering my friend, Engies raining down from the sky

Please tell this is legal on ego servers.

 

[Kyle May]

!up whoever made this video

 

[AndyGuy]

where do people even find these bugs?

 

[daduvab]

awesome

 

[jhnsn]

I can't even imagine what that would look like to the people that he killed. They would just suddenly die from a crit gunslinger from out of nowhere XD

 

[Corn/\Hacker]

Imagine a whole team doing this... Its a sign of the end when engies start to rain down.

I don't see why not. It doesn't make the engie immune to being killed. Essentially it grants flight at the cost of health; much like rocket or sticky jumping, or pyro detonator jumping (yeah, it's a thing now). I suppose the tele-trap itself could be considered griefing, except the intent is not to trap other players and it gets destroyed rather quickly. However, this is pure speculation. For an official answer, drop this into Admin Q&A.*

That said, the first clown who kills me in this manner should expect to be banned. Repeatedly.


*Nevermind, I just did.

This man has started a new age of jumping.

I like it.

 

[noblenote]

This glitch has been around...

Just a silly gimmick. Even when combined with the 'crit-storing' gunslinger glitch it isn't great. Market gardening is much more efficient.

I can't believe I just typed that sentence.

Engies can now market garden, apparently



And yes, I know that just because an engie is airborne doesn't mean he crits, but most of the kills in that video were crits?


And as for whether this should be allowed or not, idk. I assume engies could do something like this with level 3 sentries, but you'd probably lose more health and it would take much longer to set up

 

[KelpTheGreat]

How does he get so many crits off that gunslinger?!

 

[Sanctified Aberration]

The gunslinger doesn't crit randomly, but rather when you hit something three times consecutively. There is a glitch where you can 'store' these 3-hit crits with the gunslinger.

 

[Humility The Humble]

Holy market gardener

CRAP I ca't get a strange gunslinger with airborne kills
