The Engineer has a sturdy built, but a poor amount of health. He is average at self-defense, requiring the gunpower of his Sentry Guns and assistance from his Dispensers.
Contents
General
- The Engineer should always be in high priority when you are considering whom to kill. A team with a functional sentry can be deadly.
- It's always best to disconnect and isolate the Engineer from his buildings to prevent him to repair or upgrade his buildings.
- As a Sniper, it is easier to bodyshot the Engineer then go for a headshot. A fully charged bodyshot will kill in one hit, granted the Engineer is not overhealed. You can easily do this when he's upgrading or repairing his Sentry Gun.
- As a Spy, you are the one the Engineer looks for, so try to use stealth instead of deceit.
Weapon Specific
A list of useful tidbits about the Medic's weaponry, and how to best counter them.
Shotgun
Frontier Justice
- Shutting down the Engineer first before the Sentry is the best way to insure that the Engineer would not get his Crits.
Pistol
Wrangler
- The Wrangler protects the sentry from 60% of the damage you can inflict, so instead, try to kill the Engineer
- The Engineer with rely heavily on mobility and hiding, so try to sneak up behind him due to the disabled auto-aiming of the Sentry Gun.
- When the laser is not pointed at you or the sentry is currently deactivated, you can quickly lay in a powerful hit on the sentry before the Engineer can repair it.
Wrench
Gunslinger
- Because of its three hit guaranteed Crit, do not try to melee an Engineer with a Gunslinger.
- If you do choose to melee the Engineer, try to avoid getting him too often to counter the Gunslinger's three-punch combo.
Southern Hospitality
Jag
- This has reduced damage, but you still have to look out for Crits.
Sentry Gun
- Engineers will automatically vocalize when their buildings are being sapped. Use this as a signal and kill the Engineer.
- An Übercharge can swiftly destroy any sentry nests, be prepared to face knockback.
- As a Demoman, drop two or three stickies before detonating them for a guaranteed destruction of the Sentry Gun
- As a Spy, disguise as an enemy class, preferably an Engineer or Pyro, and approach the Sentry Gun. Sap all the buildings before hand and backstab the Engineer
- As a Soldier, keep at a distance and fire rockets at the sentry to create hassle for the Engineer
- As a Pyro, you can easily take down a sentry at a corner if you hide behind it.
