Overview is too long
I think that the overview section is too long to just be the overview. I don't know of any other weapon articles that do this, but I think that the Wrangler needs some sort of section to contain all the functionality notes (no falloff within Sentry range, lock-on aiming, etc.) while the overview section can be reserved for the major details (manual control, shield, deactivation period, etc.).
I don't know; the help section made it pretty clear thar the overview should strive for conciseness and be no more than 4 paragraphs long, and the Wrangler's is far longer than most.

- I think it can probably all be written a bit more concise without leaving any (relevant) information out. I'll see if I can write smth up.

- I changed the intro now, should be significantly shorter.

Is this potentially valid trivia?
"Wrangler" could be referring to the title given to students who gain first-class honors in the Mathematical Tripos competition at the University of Cambridge (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrangler_(University_of_Cambridge)) Orangee82 (talk) 23:46, 20 September 2025 (UTC)
- It seems more likely a coincidence than an intentional reference to me, which would not be valid Trivia. It's from a university in England and the current explanation of wrangling an animal seems more likely.

When was the strange quality added?
I just removed a false update history entry.
Question is, was the Wrangler added with Strange quality or is a patch note missing where it has been added afterwards? Couldn't find anything after a quick search. – shots fired by: Nikno {Talk | Contribs} 11:31, 25 January 2026 (UTC)
Also, the text says health and ammo from a wrench hit is reduced by 33% per wrench hit. Last patch note says it's 66%, which is also what I'd say is true from gameplay. Please confirm. – shots fired by: Nikno {Talk | Contribs} 11:34, 25 January 2026 (UTC)
- The Strange quality was added in the update you removed. The update added crate #92, which contains a Strange Wrangler. Before that, it was in a crate that didn't give Strange quality items. I believe the text should be saying 'reduces the amount of health and ammo restored per hit to 33% [of default]' instead of 'by 33%'. It's poorly worded in general, so you can just say it reduces it by 66% as well.

- Strange Festive Wrangler, I'm assuming.

Done, I edited the hit percentage. Also, I re-added the patch note because the previously existing Strange Wrangler was presumably Strange Festive. So the note is in fact correct and Niknub was wrong. – shots fired by: Nikno {Talk | Contribs} 13:00, 25 January 2026 (UTC)
