Tf2 Engineer, where do I begin. Maybe tf2 engineer song, maybe a tf2 engineer guide, but instead I decided to spend 30 days, that's right 30 whole days, one month in fact to play engineer in the game tf2 team fortress 2. Not the easiest class in the game (demoknight) not pyro, this is true engineer gaming. I love gaming. Engineer gaming funny meme haha. This is a tf2 challenge video like elmaxo tf2, thewhat show, akin to Uncle Dane I main pyro now. But this is not I main pyro now, this is not 30 days of ONLY soldier, or 100 Days of Spy elmaxo or any other video that increases keyword optimization , In fact, This is TF2: I Spent 30 Days Playing ONLY Engineer! I’m
thank you :)

Thank you all for watching!
you did enjoy, subscribing is the best way to tell me im doing a good iob! See ya in 6 months! (Hopefully wont take that long again lol)
Oh my god i was your first subscriber back in 1998 do you remember me?
your voice is sexy
Man If you do some day you do a vídeo like this on pyro pls use the Dragon's Fury is the only Fun primery on pyro
Do 30 days as Demoman but you have to always be drunk
Its like the sequel to elmaxos overly aggresive engineering
I’m just going to use this video as an excuse to procrastinate two of my engineering projects due next week
I mean… you are TECHNICALLY learning something about an “engineer”
No your studying
this is THE engineer, just throw out your textbook and study this man
“But sir, you can’t fire me! I studying for this job!”
L Bozo!!!!
Playing monkey-neer for 30 days is absolutely bananas! It must've taken a lot of potassium to defend those trees for that long

21:17 I dont know if you did it on purpose, but theres literally an engineer monkey in btd6, so just using the dart monkey with a hat is 100x funnier
That absolutely floored me

Getting points over kills actually fits really well for engineer. Engie’s support, a lot of what he does for the team is in teles and dispensers.
Teleporting behind two snipers and building an entire sentry behind them has me in tears
most aware sniper players
@@fiona9891 most skilled sniper main
Engie is my second most played class just behind Heavy, so when I heard him say he'd stick to 1 set for 10 days before switching to another... wow I just- yea I knew he'd have a bad time.
Glad Dane sorted him out and showed just how important it is to hot swap between all the tools in your loadout when the time is right.
The point counting over kills with the strange cosmetic makes a lot more sense for engie imo. Engineer is a support class, and as an engineer main my main goal is to use every tool in my kit to help my team win, keeping up teles and dispensers to assist and influence your team is incredibly useful, and you get points for effective use of both of them. If you're playing your support role correctly you can really rack up the points without getting near as many kills as the other top scorers, it feels good.
He should have gotten a strange PDA, it counts sentry kills, health dispensed, and teleports
41:20 Finally, someone actually talks about the impact of a tele. All the fancy clips are engies doing sentry jumps, winning huge fights, but the tele can literally be the difference between winning and losing. Not having a tele on some maps can basically be equal to DOUBLING your respawn timer, the spawn and the frontlines are just that far.
Insert joke about Mountain Lab here.
As a learning spy main nothing feels better than shanking a farmer and stealing his bananas
I appreciate the Spy v Engi in Monkey Banana terms, I never really understood it until now :)
I think you failing to reach your point goal is actually an important echo to playing Engi. That sometimes, things will go to shit, and what's important isn't making things work out all the time, but rather just how you deal with that to keep moving forward. This paired with Uncle Dane's thoughts on your reviews is honestly really interesting, I love that you included that, I'll probably watch the full thing later since hearing advice in that way is always super insightful
Amazing video, you did great with it, now I'm going to tell everyone I know to subscribe :)

In coding, a "'finger" is used to create presets for code, with a hand being a collection of fingers. The answer to how many fingers are in a hand is limitless.
One of the first things I learned about engi: THE SENTRY IS DISPOSABLE
Gun went down? Build another behind cover and let enemies walk into it.
I don’t know if boba is bubble tea, but it sounds like it and I’m assuming it is, try taro flavour it’s quite nice.
After watching this and watching uncle danes ultimate battle engineer guide, that video of his almost seems TAILOR MADE for someone like zenith, practically every issue or things he found boring or unappealing about engineer was solved or addressed by that video alone
Man learns that those who don't mainly fight have a million other things to manage.
-Medic main
Its fascinating to hear your perception of engineer because its made me realize i dont habitually utilize the movement mechanics of tf2 despite it being a huge part of the game for other players. I can barely rocket jump and only do it to get high.
IMO, the best parts of playing Engie is the RTS-esque gameplay (finding good spots to set your buildings and using the map to place your teammates in an advantageous position) AND being able to blast fools with a shotgun in first-person while you reel them into your sentry's line of sight.
21:18 i like how you used the dart monkey and not the monkey that can litterally build sentry guns
as a (semi) competent engineer main, i am so proud. it's like watching my kid grow up. you did good, partner!
the beginning days were hard to watch, but after ancle dan showed up and showed you the way of the engineer, the following days were SO fun to watch. those clips of the frontier justice gave me so much dopamine despite the fact i wasn't even the one playing xP
engie really does require a totally different mindset than power classes (unless you're running FJ and Gunslinger), and after you learned that, you improved as an engineer drastically.
i'd recommend this video to anyone looking to get into engineer but is struggling like you were, because it definitely opens your eyes with how engineer is supposed to be played.
overall you get 5 mini sentries out of 5 mini sentries, and an official texan certification
yippee-ki-yay, partner
42:44 huh, that scout wasnt lying, his scatter gun does enduce rage!!
You sold me on the Kirby Air Ride mention already LOL ok lemme actually watch this
They call me kirby air ride rungulo
"If you're on Rescue Ranger, you're not a gamer, you- you can't game" is among the greatest TF2 sentences I've ever heard.
Woah Zen.
This was an INCREDIBLY well put together video, it's obvious you put WELL over a month into this, I, and all those who watch your stuff thank you for this near-hour presentaton of your journey through the circles of hell.
31:01 As a Medic/Engie main, I actually cheered out loud when Zenith said "I should stop locking my loadout". Yes! The variety of this game, its replayability, comes from the ludicrous amount of weapon options available. And as the gameplay shows, a weapon swap can turn the tide of battle.
This video is the personification of the feeling you get after watching an uncle Dane video.
Hey Zenith, Your Engineer Video was absolutely phenomenally well done and shows what a LOT of Engineers are like and it's nice to see people show others why so many people complain or ask for help as Engineer. I've played for 9 years now playing as Engineer and honestly you have done well showing the people how Engineer can be hard to play and probably one of the hardest to master. But he's a huge factor in the game and can dominate if you have Proper Game Sense and knowing when to push in and push back. Seriously you have done well and take my hard hat off you to for working so hard and hopefully learning how to play as the small texan hard hat man.
17:50 there is a slight delay to the shield.. that's why you don't wait until the sentry is 1 hit away from death to use it :)
I like that the thumbnail engineers progression involves removing the gibus, but not replacing it with anything.
One of the best tf2 videos I've ever seen, I absolutely loved everything about it, the editing, your beautiful voice, and mostly about the fact that this video has helped me improve playing as engineer.
where the weed sentry
Honestly, I've been playing engineer so much more lately, soley because of Tick Tock by Joji and Mimi sentry videos.
Do 30 days as Demoman but you have to always be drunk
No...
That would destroy his liver and potentially cause alcoholosm
@@nathanfivecoate5848 good
ah! pee surprise!'s speech had me heaving, so funny. I guess the rest of the video was cool to. As someone who mains engie, seeing you attempt to master him gave me flashbacks to when I was properly learning the class.
thank you! (i'm him)
Honestly that banana tree segment of how the engi is weak to spy is somehow the most accurate depiction of the matchup I’ve seen on UA-cam. (Except of course uncle Dane’s content)
I don't know if this has been happening on all servers but lately, a lot of people has been kinda avoiding playing engie even in a payload defense, sometimes having more medics than engies. But i see how it feels, engie REALLY depends on the team to basically protect the nest, and in return engie provides a safe area for your team to either plan ahead or jump back into the fight. Problem is it's pubs, and you don't expect people to work together in pubs.
One of the biggest example of this is the one time i was in a payload match, we were defending and no engie in sight. Our soldier starts berating the team for not placing sentries, someone then picked engie and he gets berated again for dying way too many times, failing to realize nobody was even protecting the engie and leaving him to fend for himself.
Engineer is a class where certain loadouts work in certain times. Whenever I play engie i always go through 3-4 different loadouts in a game. It's very helpful to bind loadout to keys so you can get the right loadout in the right time!
Loving this series man. Mad respect for the grind!
I wonder what he’ll play next…
Swift water is one of my favorite maps in the game specially because of how easy it can be to just sneak behind them enemy team as engi
Also heavy can be killed in like 3 shots from the panic attack
As somebody with an absolutely insane amount of hours as Engineer, I live to play the weirdest battle engineer you will ever see, and if you see me its likely it'll be on 2fort. I use the stock shotgun, stock wrench, and the short circuit, truth is though I don't really have strategies. Its all about positioning, game knowledge, and knowing your enemy and where they are. Pretty much nothing else matters on a map like 2fort
Dude, I was literally rewatching your soldier video when this one came out. What a pleasant surprise!
funnily enough, i main battle engie, i find that learning when to pick fights and use my entire arsenal made me decent as a scout as well.
Rescue ranger has the most satisfying sound on hit in the game and is too damn fun to use as a combat shotty… you aren’t alone in just giving up building to go DM people with it, my strange professional killstreak rescue ranger “The Cooler Pomson” is proof of my just wanting to kill people with the dumb thing lol
I honestly picked up TF2 specifically because I watched ALL of Uncle Dane's videos like 3 times over, lol. He's not my most played class right now, but one of my most effective.
I'm surprised how aggressive he's really able to be played, even without Lv3 sentries. Lv2s are really good on thier own.
I also play on controller so he's easy. Putting his building binds on the D-pad was really handy.
How's controller work out for you? I've never actually heard of someone using controller full-time
@@psy-fi64 I've grown up on controller and consoles so it's literally just because I'm so used to it that keyboard and mouse feels like rocket science. And back in my Cod days I turned off aim assist cuz it felt better.
So all the downsides of playing controller on TF2 I've already been used to for years. You do have to use Steam's controller support to fix the god awful default sensitivity TF2 uses, but other than that it's completely fine.
how is this dude still sane bro, respect for this man
"The difference between genius and madness is whether or not it works, and this seems to work."
-Me, probably.
"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results."
-That one guy from far cry... 5?
zenith both is and isn't doing the same thing depending on how you look at it, but in my unprofessional opinion I'd say he's just.. driven.
(Edit): Now having finished watching the video? Yes, *driven*.
My jaw dropped to the floor seeing the price of a strange gunslinger. Like.. it's literally just pixels on a screen and code, it should not be more potentially expensive than the computer you use it on.
how tf do you only have 26.600 subs the vids are great and hella entertaining and very good edited as well. i dont even play tf2 anymore but these vids give me a sudden urge to play it. Keep up the good work man love the work.
alternative description:
uncle dane reskins have always been such a strange case to me. On one hand if you like uncle dane but hate that he doesn't upload much it's nice to have another option to choose from. But on the other hand, reskins usually do very different videos or aren't even that good engineer mains to begin with. And I've always thought it would be neat if cool engie youtubers like engineer gaming had more than "it's engineer gaming. A well known meme". So I took a large number of uncle dane reskins currently available in the web and became the ultimate uncle dane reskin, with videos from: "short review on ninjaneering" to "the ultimate guide to using the wrangler"
I just finished watching you Soldier 30 day challenge video and immediately saw this. I'm really loving your content, man. You're awesome!
As an aspiring IRL engineer
I think now i know why my parents are advocating for me to do medicine instead
😂
this is a fucking great video, man! this is incredible content, we are waiting for monthly marathons for the rest of the classes

i'm so sorry you had to go through the torture that is the engineer class for a whole month, hope you get better.
I love this and glad I found ya keep doing this and you done great
really good video, cant wait for the next one
i was gonna write a whole book wondering why youtube didint recommended me your videos because of 1. 2. 3. 4. so im just gonna say that you explaining why you love the hidden gem of an anime that is your profile picture brought my faith in humanity back for these 15 minutes. also, cool that i can relax watching a tf2 video for once.
Yo I can already tell that this video is gonna be sick af
I cannot believe you referenced kirby air ride, me and my sibling used to play that all the time on the game cube together. I remember going in the volcano all the time for fun.
I used to love the area under the woods with the little figurines. My sister and i would sit around in free ride for hours playing

Love how my graph of most played classes literally inverted yours (well i play scout in mvm so it's not pre last, but hey medic/engie/heavy is my top played classes and well pyro because.of Jungle Inferno contracts).
The "Uncle Dane" is a soft-spoken, sentry main from Bee Cave, Texas, USA with an interest in all mechanical things. He specializes in constructing and maintaining Buildings that provide support to his team, rather than fighting at the front lines, making him the most suitable for defense. The *Ankle Pain's* various gadgets include the Sentry Gun, an automated turret that fires at any enemy in range, the Dispenser, a device that restores the health and ammunition of nearby teammates, and Teleporters that quickly transport players from point A to point B.
Because the "Uncle Dane's" ingenious devices are under constant threat from explosives and devious enemy MrSwipez1, a good "Uncle" must keep his gear under a watchful eye and under repair with his Wrench at all times. When the Uncle Dane needs to get his hands dirty, his trio of generic yet capable weapons, along with the assistance of his helpful hardware, make him more than capable of holding his own in a fight. If need be, the Dane can even pick up and haul constructed buildings to redeploy them in more favorable locations. While usually viewed as a defensive class, the Uncle has a selection of high-tech weapons that allow him to destroy projectiles or to build faster-deploying, less damaging Sentry Guns, which give him great utility at the front lines too. His Teleporters are also a key point to both the offensive and defensive team's success, allowing slower, heavier classes to reach the front-lines quicker.
The Uncle Dane is voiced by the Engineer from Team Fort 2 by Valve in the game Team Four Trees 2, and by "Dane Kevin Cook" in the short film Perish Time.
the most satisfying class for me to play by far is the spy. Sometimes you just back stab the whole team. And then there are those other times when you drive certain players so paranoid and angry that they leave the game :DDD
Your videos are the only reason im not going insane.
“Abdldbla ARBY’S SANDWICH Abdldbla”
Has got to be my favorite quote
"and engineer is the worst class"
Uncle Dane: *laughs*
How do you only have 54 hours in spy come on man. You have an anime profile picture. You needed at least get those numbers up to a 100.
so like the wrangler?

excellent video man it was a lot of fun to watch and learn from :)
Engineer is a support class for a reason. He’s strongest bringing up the rear, maybe holding a point. A lvl 2 is much better than a lvl 1 sentry, but a lvl 3 is literally the exact same as a lvl 2… but with rockets. Priority should be holding strategic areas with lvl 2 or higher usually
As an engi main I have 1 tip for you when playing as engi.
Give up, you can't protect everything. Give up your sentry, give up your base, give up your location. Engi's about being the boot in the door that opens up the previously locked door for you team, don't get pissed at the enemy team for doing their job to stop your team.
Just give up trying to be perfect.
when i started playing tf2 my aim was trash, so i started playing engineer, i would die so many times because i was putting my sentry in the wrong spots, but dying teached me how to position my sentry and myself, and showed me that, you don't need good aim to kill or win, with positioning, experience and a little bit of luck, you can win all the games.
And that is how I became an engie main.
I actually respect for changing the goal you started the video with.... Only fools stay locked into foolish goals.
When the mantis lords/sisters of battle theme started playing at around 23:22, i just immediately forgot everything else in my brain that was important to do and instead replaced with "ooh, hollow knight, neuron activated'
As an engi you really need to know the map and the location and depending on the game mode and team you need to adapt.
On payload as an attacker I like to use the rescue rangers, the short circuit, and either the jag or gunslinger. Staying close to the cart mitigates the metal hungry shirt circuit and helps your team against demo and soldier spam. Having teleports up and moving them to keep on the pressure is super important. And having a sentry guarding your back and creating some save gives for team room to breathe.
Something to keep in mind is, that with your teleporter exit you can direct the flow of your team. Directing them into flanking makes it easier to push the cart etc.
What helps me is thinking in zones that I can deny or push as the engi. Plus knowing where and how to sentry jump is a lot of fun.
So try and challenge yourself and test where you can build everywhere, this gives the fun ideas and keeps the experience fresh.
GL HF!
Brody Foxx appearing out of nowhere in a tf2 video is probably my favorite UA-cam moment ever
That end montage is really cool
15:23
It’s beautiful🥹
I think i just learned something new about rescue ranger. You take it at the start of the game and switch when you notice there is too many spies or enemies that focus you. Something i didnt realise even after watching nearly all Uncle Dane videos. Thanks non-engineer main.
Even though I have 11+ hours of Engineer which is my highest of all the classes I've played (still a recent player) I do pretty well despite not having all the "good gear" because I'm more of the "sit back and watch how other people do it" and granted I have seen a few videos here and there but not a lot of them and most of what I learn is from experiences from the games I've played.
I want to *FEEL* like I've earned every item for every Engineer item I've obtained/made despite the limit I have for myself (not a premium player aka no money on my account) so it takes me a bit longer than most to even get 1 item let alone a good one but I'll get it nevertheless and *practice to be good* and this video helped even though I have confidence I _might_ be as good as a normal Engineer player with good game sense, I'm still learning and I won't stop trying to learn.
I recommend placing your dispenser right behind your sentry and superglueing yourself behind your sentry
Thanks Landon
The BIG BLUNGUS ref at 13:51 fucking got me 😂
I was always pretty good at playing as Engineer. I don't get stressed out much when I play as him.
This was a damn good video man. Definitely earned an extra sub. For sure.
I love playing battle engineer. Using the gunslinger with the frontier justice and pistol is just super fun!
Nice work zenny
Glad to see the engi vid finally come out, funny to see a dps mind attempt it XD I’ve always been an engine main so my way of thought Is the other way around, can’t play scout at all
going to this video after the Spy for 100 days video is like switching storylines in Sonic Adventure 2
That was amazing to watch GGs bro!
43:26 I love how you use KH music, The World That Never Was has some lowkey banging background music :P
Edit: Watching the rest of the video, seeing u got 13k points.... Org. 13 would be proud of you
Broskie as a true Texan I fucking loved that accent that was amazing lol
this was a really well made video
I love that you put a hard hat on the dart monkey despite there being an engineer monkey in BTD6 based on the TF2 engineer
