And why?

Mine:

1. Frontier Justice
2. Wrangler
3. Gunslinger

Why:

Ill start with the gunslinger, I love this weapon much more than the wrench. The mini combat sentry deploys so fast that it gives you the ability when being chased to effectively run away. Ive had so many instances where as im being chased, I turn a corner or a pile of blocks and I drop one of these suckers next to it and see my enemy turn and not even notice it till he gets shot and turns around to attack it, when this happens I shoot him a couple times and either get the kill or he destroys my sentry and runs away looking for life ahhh such a beautiful weapon :).

Wrangler- I seldom use this weapon and only really use it depending on my sentry placement. This weapon combined with the gunslinger takes some getting used to since the mini sentries have very little life you have to rely on sentry placement. Ive effectively killed a heavy with a medic and his medic with this little thing, by using my teammates as a distraction they didnt know what hit them till it was to late.

Finally the Frontier Justice- I so love this shotty, teamed up with my gunslinger there is very few amount of times that I dont get an assist or a kill with my mini sentry and with such small amount of life that my mini sentry has once its gone I have krits to finish off my silly little opponent who's life is now hanging on by a thread thanks to my ninja sentry and my shotty attacking him at the same time on top of that I get my kritz finishing him off is to easy ;).

Thats my load out, whats yours?
 
Mine's an ubercharge. ;)

Whenever I get the wrangler I'll be sure to harass the snipers in 2fort from the water. Other than that, I don't care. :D

I think it all depends on the map. Even now, I think that engi became one of the best offensive class with the ability to move his building. Why am I saying that ? Because now an engineer can build a lvl 2 sentry at 195 upgrade, use his teleporter to get in the fight, drop the sentry and when he sees it' s clear, give it one wrench it to upgrade it to lvl 3. And if it's in a good spot, it will need the other team to waste an ubercharge to kill the sentry, while I'm able to build another one in that time. That's why I don't think the gunslinger is such a good addition.
 
Generally speaking, I swap back and forth depending on the map. However, generally speaking:

1. Frontier Justice
2. (Pistol/wrangler)
3. (Gunslinger/wrench)

Lemme explain here.

Let's get the FJ out of the way. That puppy is pretty damned well a straight upgrade, and I have a hard time figuring out why anyone would want that extra 3 bullets worth of clip. One time, I vent-camped with a heavy/medic combo in turbine as an FJ engie with 12 revenge crits; I made like 5 or six shotgun kills before I ran off to go back to my gun. So long as you can aim, and you can make your shots count, that gun is my favorite gun in the world.

Pistol/Wrangler and Gunslinger/ Wrench. Generally, I'll either do Pistol with the gunslinger, or wrangler with the wrench... I rarely mix those up. For me, the pistol is SUCH a valuable tool for luring people into my sentry traps that I couldn't possibly give it up. It's amazing; pop a few shots into someone down a hallway or something, and keep firing until they start to run at you. Doesn't matter what class it is; turn a corner with your mini sentry behind it and keep running. They'll probably stay focused on you, and if he doesn't, it's a free distraction that you can use to kill him with whatever you prefer.

I find the pistol less useful when playing with the wrench, because it generally means you're less mobile. sentry 'traps' are much harder to do with the wrench in that way, because while your trap can be totally impermanent and you can probably nail a bunch of people with it, a level 3 is going to attract a modicum of attention from the other team about it. I'd rather be able to control it and get the unprepared types down, or do some sniping with real dps.
 
Frontier Justice
Pistol
Gunslinger

Why? I'm a 'lawl' engie! FJ for the taunt kill, pistol for the win, and Gunslinger for the Taunt Kill and the punching people :)
 
Huh??The Engy got 2 taunt kills? I didn't know that.

Yep. The FJ gives you the guitar smash, the Gunslinger spins his hand around and you damage->taunt kill the opponent (like the damage leading up to the Spy's taunt kill)

So far, I'm still in the messing around phase. Love the Frontier Justice and the Gunslinger is fun (Engy is Cyborg!). The Wrangler looks like a blast, but I haven't had a chance to try it out yet. We'll see!

So my loadout as it is now is FJ, Pistol, Gunslinger. Southern Hospitality if I feel like playing original Engineer loadout/nothing fancy. That thing just looks mean and I want to inspire terror :p
 
I only have the frontier justice right now. I'm waiting on the other items to drop or do all the achievements for them.

Using the wrangler with the mini sentry is counter-productive and completely not what it was ment for.
