Rescue Ranger + Wrangler + Eureka Effect = Best Defense Engineer

[@chicken1117]

Eureka is better on offense or in setup, southern hospitality or jag are better on defence

[@canadianbacon2693]

2:18 the soldier was probably thinking "DON'T DO IT" when the engie took out his wrench lmao

[@jodyrappin]

Honestly the rescue ranger does pretty reasonable damage outside of close range.

[@gearthehuman2115]

Honestly, this weapon was seems useful in MvM when you're in the situation where you're about to fix your buildings or remove it from sentry busters but you're far away from them.

[@MyronZhang]

Definitely so. It's a very easy way to deal with Sentry Busters, and because of the amount of splash damage there is in MvM, it keeps you safe whilst repairing your buildings from afar.

[@chronii9405]

Best engineer weapon in my opinion hands down.

[@nolader28]

Hands up

[@fatmatweedell7747]

[@BallMuncher555]

Dom306 is that a good thing or a bad thing? Because from my understanding it’s a good thing.

[@Dom-vk1tx]

@@BallMuncher555 it kinda does ruin the fun because now the sentry is shooting live ammo at friendlies who thought it was empty

[@BallMuncher555]

Dom306 well what if there are a bunch of enemies pushing and the sentry is out of ammo? Also most f2p engies put their sentry nests in intel room on two fort anyways, and all the other maps except for Hightower you almost never see friendlies, because those games are usually more serious. And if you place a sentry on Hightower, you’d get vote banned. So your logic is kinda stupid.

[@Dom-vk1tx]

@@BallMuncher555 then it would be right to repair the sentry but its looked down upon if you repair a ticky sentry which its owner had purposely used the wrangler to deplete all its ammo

[@lucrayzor9657]

4:17 this is so cruel lol

[@obrien6327]

Very cruel...

[@Deputy_Doofus]

Wait it’s fixed, Yes! The day has come! Finally!

[@OlaftheGreat]

I love this weapon. Not just for its amazing utility, which is VERY good...but because shooting the thing is satisfying as HELL. I LOVE projectile-based weapons. Seriously, this is everything I hoped the Pomson would be. Highly responsive and a projectile that feels similar to the Crossbow or Huntsman. Admittedly the damage is much lower than those two weapons, but there's something satisfying about sniping someone across the map, even if you're only doing 21 damage. And since I mentioned the huntsman...the projectile can pin dead enemies to the wall as well. Nice.

WIKI CHANNEL IS BACK

[@Dat-Mudkip]

I've noticed a glitch where even if you have the metal, right clicking a Sentry while it's under fire doesn't always retrieve it.

[@vcr_official]

This weapon is so good for Engineers, I test that to heal my sentry in long range from enemies

[@Iloveyou-dz7mq]

I watched a video that explained how good the Rescue Ranger is. The video was back in 2015. Before the Rescue Ranger couldn't waste your metal when healing a building

[@radunegovan3841]

waste? are you insane? in what world is it balanced to be able to heal buildings for free at any range? even like this, it heals at a 4:1 ratio. the wrench heals at a 3:1 ratio. it's still cheaper than the wrench

[@taluca8474]

@@radunegovan3841 you don't get it, the Rescue Ranger we have can heal buildings at the cost of metal. But I still remember back in the old days that the Rescue Ranger doesn't need metal to repair your buildings
