Team Fortress 2

Well there you have it

The Gunslinger is an alternative to the wrench which builds mini sentries instead of normal sentries
-gives wearer +25 max health
-3rd punch is a fixed crit

Mini-sentries
-cost only 100 metal to build as opposed to the 130 metal of a normal sentry
-Build time is 1/4 of a normal sentry
-comes with the highest health possible
-It only does 1/2 damage of what a normal sentry can
-It cannot be repaired or upgraded

This adds to the fact that the sentries are now more mobile and disposable thanks to the new gun and the wrangler for the engineer.

And the fact that you can pick up your buildings and move them......

The Engineer update is the most awkward update I've seen for any class... I wanna see how it plays out =D

I just hope it doesn't make them counter the Scout alot more now :*(

no, it just supports the offensive engineer playing style
which means they're not only against scouts

Assuming the combo attack plays out at the same speed as normal melee attacks, you'd have to be pretty bad to get hit by it.
I can kill an engie before he gets out 3 melee attacks as any class.

Unless you can do 2 attacks into the air, and then hit someone with the 3rd and it still counts.

Finally a chance for the engi to do more than sit in the back and whack turrets
