I agree that they should move the energy ball to M1, but instead of getting rid of the taser, give it the old AoE attack with the current firing speed, but reduce the damage to 1, to make it purely for spychecking.
Thank you for explaining this mysterious energy ball for us non-engie players, but all I REALLY have to say is that this video's intro was amazing on so many levels
I love how there isn't even a kill icon for the orb. It's almost like Valve didn't even consider the fact that people would try and kill people with it.
He's saying it's 'Multi-Damage on the original target and others in it's path' is WAY better than the Bison....god why did the Bison get nerfed into the ground!?
@@beefsteak195 It has a few other uses. If you use it on a building, the engineer cannot manually destroy it to build a new one, so if you use it on an abandoned mini sentry somewhere, the engineer is now too far to remove the sapper from it, and unable to lay a new one for a good 20 seconds or so. Removing an RTRmid downgrade or deconstruction will require the sentry to replay the upgrade/building animation before it can fire, meaning you get a little bit longer before it starts shooting again. Once an RTR even begins a downgrade it will also strip away any upgrade progress that was on the building. Once an RTR begins final deconstruction, it immediately empties a dispenser of all stored metal.
The primary fire taser should GIVE FIVE metal when you damage a player with it. An engineer hitting with the taser is going to be very vulnerable, and combined with the salvation of another energy ball would allow some tense, complex, and desperate interactions trying to close range and recover metal to 65.
新人 is indeed "New Person", and 短路 literally translates to "Short Circuit". Is this Japanese or Chinese? There's a Japanese character but I can read the Chinese ones.

It's Newbie, but the official term is "Rookie" because of the り at the end. While it's New comer if it is just 新入. But I don't think that makes a word...

Another good informative video, I didn’t really know how to use the Short-circuit well to its fullest potential. Looks like I can give it another chance.
Tbh I miss the old short circuit so much. I could completely own a defensive area until a hit scan class came in to deal with the sentry or two spies ganged up on me. Maybe I'm just a bad engi. That could be a thing too, but the point is I miss the old one.
11:48 it could be realy fun to have a duel where both players have 1 hp and inf metal and can fly and just blasting energy charges at each other untill someone gets hit and loses the duel
unless you're an aim genius the widowmaker and short circuit will make you lose a shitton of metal especially since lone engineers are the target of many scouts and spies who have really thin hitboxes. and if you're playing with gunslinger you probably want to have at the bare minimum 150 metal at almost all times so you can place another mini down whenever your first goes down
9:32 Can I point out that uncle dane just jumps over his mini sentry's line of fire, knowing the exact timing of when the sentry shoots, along with knowing the direction of it, whilst in a 1v1? Although, he is just in a server with one of his friends so he could focus more on that.
That soldier fight segment is like an option select you’d see in a fighting game, it’s pretty cool that Valve is (even if inadvertently) creating opportunities like that in TF2.
@@AleK0451 In fighting games, an "option-select" is when you perform something that has multiple functions, and it covers an opponents "options", which is essentially what the Engie did in that example. Had a mini sentry ready for backup, used the short circuit to eat up Soldier's projectile, and had the shotgun to damage someone; if the soldier backs up, he walks into the laser. If he gets closer, he gets shotgunned. If he rocketjumps, he'll get shot by a mini sentry.
You can reflect the short circuit. You can reflect the short circuit. You can reflect the short circuit- Yes. I absolutely love this information. Even if I suck at airblasting, I absolutely love turning my enemies weapons against them, and this is absolutely perfect.
An idea to revamp the Short Circuit primary fire: from how I see it, Valve kept the current primary fire of the Short Circuit to make it a small, short range pistol of sorts. This can be easily used as a falloff option when running out of Shotgun ammo and you are face to face with a somewhat low-health enemy. However, the base damage is simply too underwhelming to be really viable, as a Wrench could do the job more efficiently. Since the overall theme of the Engineer's weapons relies on top-notch gimmicks to cripple the enemy or support your own team or yourself, this is the only class with lots of buff or debuff tools other than "more or less damage" types (Soldier only has Cow Mangler for disabling sentries, Scout has Boston Basher to apply bleeding and Mad Milk for health on hit, Sniper has Jarate for mini-crits on hit, but the Engineer has the Pomson to reduce Uber and Cloak on hit, the Southern Hospitality for bleeding on hit, the Rescue Ranger for repair on hit and long range building teleportation, the Eureka Effect to teleport, ...). Those weapons do something definitely more science-fiction related than throwing a jar of piss at enemies, taking more damage for how embarrassing it is. The Short Circuit fits the former much better now, and that's why its primary fire should receive a few gimmicks on its own. The first one, since it's electric based, could be a slow down on hit effect for the primary fire only, the effect increasing for continued hits over time, up to 1 second for 70 % speed. That way, it rewards hitting escaping enemies, such as Spies cloaking or Scouts running. The other effect, up-to-debate, is a damage ramp up on hit, up to 3 times the base damage after 1 second of constant hits. By doing so, with a base damage of 10, this makes the Short Circuit reach 30 dmg per hit after 1 second, dealing more damage than the stock Pistol but not as great as a Shotgun. This rewards players for aiming close range enemies that are fleeing your sentry or when you run out of Shotgun ammo and needs more damage up-close. It's not overpowered since you cannot shoot at medium ranges, meaning this weapon's primary fire is designed for close quarters fights. Coupled with the Rescue Ranger, you can use the ranger for longer shots and repairs while the Short Circuit provides some form of defense up-close, being removing projectiles or slowing down and damaging the approaching enemy further. It still costs metal so it doesn't make this secondary a primary weapon, and is best used to finish off enemies or catch Spies and Scouts more effectively. It can also be used after firing a ball to start crippling down enemy Soldiers without the need to switch weapons, especially when they are on low-health, but not on a buffed up Soldier (full health, overheal, etc), and then switch to your Shotgun when other enemies (Pyros, Heavies) approach. The Engineer is a really smart guy, and he figures out ways to make his enemies' life the worst possible for the benefit of his own and his team's.
This is an amazing idea, wish valve would listen. For the heck of it, maybe add just a little more base damage to let's say 15 damage plus ramp up equalling to 45 damage for 1 second of constant damage. That makes viable and isn't overpowered. Also add a larger hit radius so that cloaked spies could be hit more effectively
The slowdown-taser sounds interesting, stun effect fits the electric theme and encourages teammates to assist. Maybe could also blast stickybombs without needing accurate aim, from just outside blast range?
@Charlie Botterell I just tried the bison out today, it actually still works pretty well IMHO, not as well as during tough break, but well enough for me.
@Charlie Botterell True, but it's fun to use and good for use with weapons such as the Direct Hit and Airstrike that either have lots of downtime or require considerable skill to use
6:25 I’d like to point out that, even though it is cheaper to heal buildings with your wrench, you might not be close enough to your sentry to heal it (the higher metal cost is justified by the weapon’s range).
The Short Circuit has probably been one of the most changed weapon in the entire game. In total, it has been changed at least 7 times since it was first introduced from it being not so good to really good to good but annoying and now somewhat balanced. I think after watching this video, I’ll use this weapon much more as it has the potential to be a great weapon however I feel like it needs some more changes for it to be in a good spot and not be changed anymore. I feel like they could make the primary fire actually useful by making it gives health on hit and for the Alt-Fire projectile, they could make it so it takes 50 metal to fire the projectile so you can fire 4 shots instead of 3 and maybe make the projectile travel further and deal more damage and I think with these changes, people will start using this potentially great weapon!
I'm still waiting for a strange short circuit, Would likely be kills and projectiles destroyed also the primary fire should probably have it's own ammo if they decide to keep it.
I was literally singing "Blue Moon" along with the intro with a friend who didn't know the song and thought I was insane and when you opened up talking about the Blue Moon update we both lost our shit. So thank you for that.
I was gonna say you can clearly see the energy balls destroying eachother, but it seems that while the energy balls target eachother, they don't actually destroy eachother, as you can see the energy balls firing multiple times at eachother before colliding and dissipating.
The primary fire of the Short Circuit is like a mini short ranged pistol, in case you don't have any shotgun bullets ready and need to finish off or defend yourself, more so if you lack the 65 metal required to fire a ball, or you don't want to waste what remaining metal on one for a single enemy. It has the same rate of fire, but to not be too good, it reduces the damage per "shot", so a pistol is still viable for those situations. Also, for the same amount of metal, you can deal more damage on the course of a little more time, as 10 damage * 13 shots of 5 metal each (for a total of 65 metal) = 130 damage, compared to 15+. So, the way I see it, it's both a pistol and a projectile eraser, and aiming skills + fast, good decision making = one of the best all around secondary weapon for Engineer.
I've been using this secondary and having an absolute blast. I think my favorite aspect is how it makes you feel like the savior of all Engiekind when you're defending a Sentry Nest using it
This made me use the short circuit and the strats you talked about in this video and I'm in love. Never thought this would be fun but i'm so glad i found out.
so you are saying that this weapon encourages mindgames? amazing! can't wait to get this weapon and use it in a pub that I am not allowed to communicate in any way (not even medic calls) in!
The way I see it, wrangler is better for "passive defense" where you just need to tank spam, short circuit is better for "active defense" where you are going to go up away from your actual buildings and actively contest the class spamming you out. Where the wrangler excels at keeping a nest and area locked down, the short circuit is better for gaining ground and play closer to the front lines.

1: Dane, you're my favorite uncle. 2: I think I can understand the procrastination, but I'm not sure.

For example, while I love Ross Scott's Freeman's Mind, it just takes so long between episodes that I lose interest. 4: Whatever you do, Dane, I'll like it.

If you hate this comment and it makes you feel awful, sorry. 0.5: This is about the stuff at the very beginning.
One thing I like using the new circuit for is assisting offensive pushes. Often I find it can be more useful to cast a short-term projectile defense around your advancing medic combo so he doesn't have to uber as soon, or even just to lead the team with a safety blanket where soldiers and demomen can't 2shot half the push or just get a random crit and stop the entire thing right then and there, rather than just pestering from a distance with a wrangled gun. After all, usually, and especially on maps like pl_badwater, the enemy has a solid wall between you and them and going past that wall puts you in the sights of the entire enemy team who will see the glowing line indicating exactly where your gun is.
I GOT IT. The music you used in beginning of your video was about a blue moon (FNV). And then you start speaking about blue moon update. That's so cool

This can be easily used as a falloff option when running out of Shotgun ammo and you are face to face with a somewhat low-health enemy. However, the base damage is simply too underwhelming to be really viable, as a Wrench could do the job more efficiently. Since the overall theme of the Engineer's weapons relies on top-notch gimmicks to cripple the enemy or support your own team or yourself, this is the only class with lots of buff or debuff tools other than "more or less damage" types (Soldier only has Cow Mangler for disabling sentries, Scout has Boston Basher to apply bleeding and Mad Milk for health on hit, Sniper has Jarate for mini-crits on hit, but the Engineer has the Pomson to reduce Uber and Cloak on hit, the Southern Hospitality for bleeding on hit, the Rescue Ranger for repair on hit and long range building teleportation, the Eureka Effect to teleport, ...). Those weapons do something definitely more science-fiction related than throwing a jar of piss at enemies, taking more damage for how embarrassing it is. The Short Circuit fits the former much better now, and that's why its primary fire should receive a few gimmicks on its own. The first one, since it's electric based, could be a slow down on hit effect for the primary fire only, the effect increasing for continued hits over time, up to 1 second for 70 % speed. That way, it rewards hitting escaping enemies, such as Spies cloaking or Scouts running. The other effect, up-to-debate, is a damage ramp up on hit, up to 3 times the base damage after 1 second of constant hits. By doing so, with a base damage of 10, this makes the Short Circuit reach 30 dmg per hit after 1 second, dealing more damage than the stock Pistol but not as great as a Shotgun. This rewards players for aiming close range enemies that are fleeing your sentry or when you run out of Shotgun ammo and needs more damage up-close. It's not overpowered since you cannot shoot at medium ranges, meaning this weapon's primary fire is designed for close quarters fights. Coupled with the Rescue Ranger, you can use the ranger for longer shots and repairs while the Short Circuit provides some form of defense up-close, being removing projectiles or slowing down and damaging the approaching enemy further. It still costs metal so it doesn't make this secondary a primary weapon, and is best used to finish off enemies or catch Spies and Scouts more effectively. It can also be used after firing a ball to start crippling down enemy Soldiers without the need to switch weapons, especially when they are on low-health, but not on a buffed up Soldier (full health, overheal, etc), and then switch to your Shotgun when other enemies (Pyros, Heavies) approach. The Engineer is a really smart guy, and he figures out ways to make his enemies' life the worst possible for the benefit of his own and his team's.

This is an amazing idea, wish valve would listen. For the heck of it, maybe add just a little more base damage to let's say 15 damage plus ramp up equalling to 45 damage for 1 second of constant damage. That makes viable and isn't overpowered. Also add a larger hit radius so that cloaked spies could be hit more effectively

You can't just do an MDE intro and not have subliminal messaging in the background text
Enemy Team: Goes all soldiers
Me: -Goes engineer and uses Short Circuit-
The Short Circuit has probably been one of the most changed weapon in the entire game.
In total, it has been changed at least 7 times since it was first introduced from it being not so good to really good to good but annoying and now somewhat balanced. I think after watching this video, I’ll use this weapon much more as it has the potential to be a great weapon however I feel like it needs some more changes for it to be in a good spot and not be changed anymore.
I feel like they could make the primary fire actually useful by making it gives health on hit and for the Alt-Fire projectile, they could make it so it takes 50 metal to fire the projectile so you can fire 4 shots instead of 3 and maybe make the projectile travel further and deal more damage and I think with these changes, people will start using this potentially great weapon!
Cyka Squad he is the god of youtube. All hail stickmaster
StickMaster500 YOU'RE EVERYWHERE I SEE!
StickMaster500 about the part of spending 50 metal, I think its gud.
But they really should rework that pathetic M1 "shoot"
doctor dank no, he isn't. The real long lost god and Legend is spookwagen, stickmaster is just trying to be one.
StickMaster500 Ohhh,you ran out of your trademark, dumb joke comments?
Then Sir, I think that ua-cam.com/video/wQYob6dpTTk/v-deo.html

Soldier: (Gets Random Crit)
Short Circuit: Nope.avi
2:32 This pun is underrated
"out-of-the-blue moon update"
sick intro, got World Peace vibes big time
I can't find any of those videos what are they called?
potato boy Red pill should be taken in low doses
nope
Google MillionDollarExtreme
I'm still waiting for a strange short circuit, Would likely be kills and projectiles destroyed also the primary fire should probably have it's own ammo if they decide to keep it.
i have genius prof ks short circuit
I'd rather the primary was just a regular pistol but maybe will less damage and a smaller magazine.
and probably be worth about 15 keys
@@Tom_- what if the primary fire replenished metal on hit but dealt less damage, making it more utility focused.
I was literally singing "Blue Moon" along with the intro with a friend who didn't know the song and thought I was insane and when you opened up talking about the Blue Moon update we both lost our shit. So thank you for that.
2:50 i have a similar reaction when I see a crocket flying through the air at me.
I was gonna say you can clearly see the energy balls destroying eachother, but it seems that while the energy balls target eachother, they don't actually destroy eachother, as you can see the energy balls firing multiple times at eachother before colliding and dissipating.
Uncle Dan is very guud mega man
i love this channel. even videos about 1 single weapon can have so many good jokes and bits in it. and alot of info and stragys. i love you
Am i the only one who got an MDE vibe from the intro?
Random Name nah boy i got it too. great taste in shows btw :)
I got it very much and I was trying to find other people
I got hotline Miami vibes
MDE
its very obviously a homage to world peace
I know it is supposed to be goku, but the engi in the thumbnail looks like syndrome from the incredibles.
Actually n- HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE HOLY SHIT HE DOES LOOK LIKE HIM OMHFC (standing for Oh My Holy Flipping Crap)
Someone Cx
Someone oh god its you
aplastic soldier IT'S A ME BOIIO
its supposed to be goku dude
Is that a 8-bit rendition of Blue Moon? Dane, you know me too well.
Also a great joke, because you know, blue moon update.
It sounded so familiar and so off... I thought it was a remix of Pokemon route theme at first.
After rewatching this video for YEARS, I just noticed that the song at the start is Blue Moon for the UPDATE, HOW DID I NEVER NOTICE THAT BEFORE?!
"nobody would use the normal fire of this weapon"
me:YOU UNDERESTIMATE MY STUPDITY
Uncle dane the weeaboo main
Saul but he dosent play spy
Mikołaj Szcześniak but he does play Goku
darn, i was about to comment that
Primary fire: For Thanos snap memes
Alt-fire: Same as primary + HADUKEN
Ah yes Dane’s favourite bean *KIDNEY*
Kidney beans
The 'Blue Moon' at the beginning hit my right in the nostalgia. It's been too long since I've played New Vegas.
"You underestimate the power of" 200 PISTOL AMMO
that MDE intro
Ah that Le Perv in the intro made my day. That song goes hard.
The left click I think is for finding spys
The primary fire of the Short Circuit is like a mini short ranged pistol, in case you don't have any shotgun bullets ready and need to finish off or defend yourself, more so if you lack the 65 metal required to fire a ball, or you don't want to waste what remaining metal on one for a single enemy. It has the same rate of fire, but to not be too good, it reduces the damage per "shot", so a pistol is still viable for those situations. Also, for the same amount of metal, you can deal more damage on the course of a little more time, as 10 damage * 13 shots of 5 metal each (for a total of 65 metal) = 130 damage, compared to 15+.
So, the way I see it, it's both a pistol and a projectile eraser, and aiming skills + fast, good decision making = one of the best all around secondary weapon for Engineer.
Opens video
Hears Hotline miami music
Smashes dat mothafuggin’ like button
mantis kalashnikov that was me for the mega man
Im pretty sure the intro was a reference to the show World Peace
Are we gonna ignore the fact that the used the song- "Le perv" in the intro
Carpenter brut is pretty cool

ENGINEER! THIS IS THE LAST OF MY SCRAP, TAKE IT FROM ME!
LE PERV - CARPENTER BRUT
You've got good taste in intro music.
I've been using this secondary and having an absolute blast. I think my favorite aspect is how it makes you feel like the savior of all Engiekind when you're defending a Sentry Nest using it
Newbie! You Underestimate The Power Of The Short Circuit!
KAMEHAMEHA!!!
Uncle Dane the Megamain.
Uncle dane, the super fighting Texan.
You got S. Circuit
Watch engi makes it into smash5 XD
the carpenter brut in the intro was such a welcome change
This made me use the short circuit and the strats you talked about in this video and I'm in love. Never thought this would be fun but i'm so glad i found out.
Ridiculous, over the top, completely nonsensical. I would expect nothing less from TF2
yet absolutely logical
A jar of pickles
That's Mann Co.'s motto for you. Also fun as hell.

Yeah sorry, would like, but sex number

@r_.1_.v._e_r no it is obviously Syndrome from the Incredibles
so you are saying that this weapon encourages mindgames? amazing! can't wait to get this weapon and use it in a pub that I am not allowed to communicate in any way (not even medic calls) in!
An 8-bit Renditions of Frank Sinatra's Blue Moon? You have great taste!
*KILLER QUEEN HAS ALREADY CAPTURED THE OBJECTIVE*
Oh no, Weebs are starting to main Engie too! Sniper, Spy and Pyro were already major losses!
NOOOOOOOOOOOO
anime 👏 is 👏 a 👏 style 👏 nothing 👏 more
There's also the fact that Heavy got cosmetics straight from JJBA in the Blue Moon update
TF2 is anime now
As an Engie main, fucking kill me
Weeaboisation of TF2 had officially started.
The debut of Starboard Crusader and Tsar Platinum is only the beginning...
SkeletonOps! Welcome to Weeb Fortress 2, after 9 years in development, hopefully it will have been worth the weight.
The way I see it, wrangler is better for "passive defense" where you just need to tank spam, short circuit is better for "active defense" where you are going to go up away from your actual buildings and actively contest the class spamming you out. Where the wrangler excels at keeping a nest and area locked down, the short circuit is better for gaining ground and play closer to the front lines.
Opening song is Carpenter Brut - Le Perv
Thanks
I miss "that'll do" intro :(
新入り! -> Newbies/new players
短絡 -> Short circuit
I much prefer short circuit as "ショートサーキット" because you can't translate name.. usually :D
Kyell Jongepier why the negativity
Kyell Jongepier What if she's Japanese
what do you mean you miss the "that'll do" intro?
1: Dane, you're my favorite uncle.
2: I think I can understand the procrastination, but I'm not sure. I like to procrastinate a whole lot, but I don't have anyone waiting.
3: I really like your schedule. Videos aren't so close together that I think, "Ehh, it's Dane, I'll watch it later," but it isn't so far apart that I stop caring. For example, while I love Ross Scott's Freeman's Mind, it just takes so long between episodes that I lose interest.
4: Whatever you do, Dane, I'll like it. Don't stop doin' you, man.
5: I know you probably don't care, but hey, I might as well write this in case it inspires you or some romantic crap. If you hate this comment and it makes you feel awful, sorry.
0.5: This is about the stuff at the very beginning.
Quality over quantity.
Uncle Dane: Deletes Projectile
My Mind: *ZA HANDO*
Kidneys
One thing I like using the new circuit for is assisting offensive pushes. Often I find it can be more useful to cast a short-term projectile defense around your advancing medic combo so he doesn't have to uber as soon, or even just to lead the team with a safety blanket where soldiers and demomen can't 2shot half the push or just get a random crit and stop the entire thing right then and there, rather than just pestering from a distance with a wrangled gun. After all, usually, and especially on maps like pl_badwater, the enemy has a solid wall between you and them and going past that wall puts you in the sights of the entire enemy team who will see the glowing line indicating exactly where your gun is.
Well, I guess I'm sponsoring you now. You deserve it a lot
holy shit, I was the person he killed at 3:00 I was literally thinking, "fuck, someone did that to me a while back"
I GOT IT. The music you used in beginning of your video was about a blue moon (FNV). And then you start speaking about blue moon update. That's so cool
