Simply going engie isn't going to be enough. The stock engie loadout is the most simple yet in my opinion least effective.

The Stock Engie

-Stock wrench: just regular wrench no downsides or upsides. Builds at regular speed

-Stock shotgun: most effective primary. Deals good damage at medium to close range. Your primary damage dealer

-Stock pistol: reliable weapon, good for burst damage and hitting at targets far away. You won't need to worry about running out of bullets for the pistol.



Hightower Hell



The loadout that will piss off the enemies but is highly effective.

-Gunslinger: The melee of choice for every battle engie. Adds extra 25 health and replaces regular sentry with combat mini sentry. Combat minies are small, disposable and easy to build.

-Stock Pistol: Reliable weapon

-Frontier Justice: Arguably the one of the best battle engie primary, this shotgun stores crits for every kill the sentry gets after it gets destroyed (can be replaced with Widowmaker, a shotgun that uses ammo as bullets and does not need to be reloaded).





The Walking Fortress


A loadout that uses regular sentries instead of minies

- The Jag: a wrench that trades damage for extra building speed and faster hit speed. Helps get buildings to build and construct faster

-Stock pistol: Reliable

Stock Shotgun or Frontier Justice: Choose between the two of them, Frontier justice for crits and stock shotgun for reliability

Hightower Hell

The combat mini sentry is perfect for ambushing unsuspecting players. It's small size makes it harder for players to hit it.

It costs only 100 metal so in one life an engie can place 2 minies ( one at a time of course ). For its size and cost, it has insane range and can hit players from afar. The mini sentry's effectiveness lies in its placement.


Placement of mini is key to sucess. Place it in spots where people wont notice it coming. Minies are perfect for ambushes. Place them in corridors and spots where it can surprise enemies. Remember minies are disposable so dont bother coming back to repair it.




This spot is perfect for ambushing incoming cappers. It will surely surprise them.




This spot is perfect for ambushing players coming after the health kit. Most players come here when their health is low so your sentry can easily finish them off.



This area of hightower has many spots. The spot under the red spawn can be used to ambush people coming out of spawn and because of the range, can hit snipers on the balcony and people capping.

One can be placed directly underneath the snipers balcony to ambush players coming out of spawn.

If you want to be more aggresive, you can put the sentry on the hightower. It will hit players coming out of spawn and snipers on the balcony.



Bonus:

If you can, try to sneak a teleporter near the enemy spawn, it will surely surprise them and piss them off
