[QUOTE=Gentle Manne;17023537]It could do a shitload of damage, but only have 6 shots, little ammo carried, and a slight cooldown time.
Good idea?[/QUOTE]
No
The shotgun is perfect for him at close range, and at longer he has the pistol. An engineer with his whole buildings at lv.3 cleaverly placed and with the shotgun out is 1 badass enemy. Combine fire with your sentry to fend off demo's or soldiers and your good. The only weakness is a team with actual teamwork that saps and assaults your buildings or ubered ppl.
a sentry that only has machine guns but can blow projectiles back at the person who fired them

Engineer needs help from Demoman.
Ball in a cup! Helps the engineer stop being bored when he's camping his stuff.
More fun than shooting happy faces on the wall with the pistol.

So what if my idea matched yours.
Go shoot yourself, ya blooday mongrel.
A sentry that has little wheels and follows the engineer that built it, however it has a slow firerate and deploy speed.
I think your idea for the .44 sounds a little to close to the Ambassador to be unique to the engineer.
I had an Idea for an ammo gun (similar to the medigun) that the engineer would carry. He would work like a medic, but would give his partner unlimited ammo/metal and mini crits (10-15%). It might have to include a health debuff to prevent it from being OP. I was thinking maybe it would be better if it wouldn't work on an ally already being healed, and isn't stackable with another ammo gun (to prevent stacked crits). It would look kinda like a cross between a medigun and a dispenser.
[QUOTE=kikka;17025358][B]Nailergun[/B]
- Works like a shotgun, but shoots six nails that have a slight arc
- Nails fix buildings upon contact, when all six nails hit it will heal a building roughly as much as a wrench swing
- Does less damage
- destroys sappers (?)
- Other changes (smaller clip, fires slower/faster) if needed
This is the best one I've come up with as of yet. It would give the Engineer a bit more freedom to move around without changing things too much.[/QUOTE]
For all the shots of a shotgun to hit, you're gonna be close enough to use a wrench anyways. I think the nailgun thing should be pistol sidegrade.
[QUOTE=yuki;17023605]You can do that without the debuff simply by having teammates around.[/QUOTE]
On the Engy Party Server we managed to get five up to lvl 3 in less than 40 seconds. With 5 guys.
[QUOTE=BlueSaint;17030533]Wrench gun.
shoots wrenches.
:downs:[/QUOTE]
That's actually a good idea you should send it to valve.
I thought of an idea.
Mines that blow up when stepped on (could thwart some foolish players and cloaked spies...?).
I'm thinking more of a spy sniffer or spydar which beeps faster the closer an enemy spy is to him.
Engie needs a bucket to spit in while he is by his nest.
A buildable Bacarat detector.

I agree.
He has a 5% chance of getting it in the cup.
Upon getting it in the cup, he receives a 'hyperactivity' speed boost from his happiness. (Or entertained...ness) He shoots faster, reloads faster, upgrades faster... But at the cost of every 5 missed balls in a cup, he goes slightly slower. Due to frustration. It replaces the pistol, and the hyper activity lasts 10 seconds. As with the frustration, it lasts 10 seconds.

I will just idle for a good ball then
[QUOTE=thespectator;17027629]Make a lot of sense if you could deplete your pistol ammo in exchange for metal.[/QUOTE]
Yeah so you can build a dispenser.
Drop ammo for metal to upgrade the dispenser, while getting more metal from the dispenser.
No, that sounds like it'd be really fast paced to build a dispenser.
Needs a pistol with level 3 sentries for bullets.
Engineers Sex Doll:
Spends 30 seconds too blow it up.
Spends 30 seconds giving sweet love to the blow-up doll.
Pros: +3,000 health over-heal
Cons: You scream JULAY, giving away your position
you only have one sex doll
your speed is slowed down
GENIUS, RIGHT?
[QUOTE=BricknHead;17030713]why are you trying to claim rights to such a terrible idea[/QUOTE]
why not
Maybe a snubnosed revovler could work, with a longer reload time - my friend suggested loading each shell individually into the cylinder.
Pop-up sentries he can stick into the ground, or onto walls and ceilings, and would be mostly camouflaged until they attack. The downside being a longer time to acquire targets, or less firepower.
Laser pistol that makes the sentry shoot where ever the laser is pointed
Does no damage otherwise but blinds enemies for as long as the dot is on them if you aim at their head
how about a small 357 magnum instead? 44mag is op

Seriously though, it doesn't seem like that bad of an idea, but the whole ammo thing doesn't matter if you have a sentry.
he should get different types of turrets, like a shotgun turret, a fire turret and a.... death ray?
I'd like a Magnum for Engie, but it seems like the same thing as the Ambassador. Unless they made it bigger and badder.
For example, lets say the recoil is so immense it has a cooldown time of 3.5 seconds or so, AND has crazy knockback for knocking ubers back from your stuff. As for a drawback....make it heavy so the engie runs slower with it, the knockback hurts engie a little bit when the gun hits him in the face, and...its got six shots or so.
As for size of the Magnum, I'm thinking something kind of comical, like a grenade launcher sized pistol for engie, but the grenade slots are for giant freaking bullets. Maybe 3 times bigger than Spies Ambassador.
