Dustbowl Offense Engineer Strategy

This is a nice offensive strategy i've found that works on Dustbowl Stage 3.

1. Go Engineer
2. Build a dispenser right against the back of the building with the small window slits
3. Jump up on the dispenser and build a sentry through the window
4. Same thing with teleporter
5. Upgrade your sentry



It works best when they have sentries in the respawn window or in the corner by the stairs at the 1st CP. Usually when u catch them off guard you can have enough tiem to get it up to a level 3 sentry.
also works when you've got your team trapped in that back half and you've got demomen and soldiers shooting down the path.

why do we need to put the dispenser in front of the building? there's no difference from going into the building and doing it from there.

half of the time people put sentries in the window that leads to the defensive teams spawn or by the stairs making it impossible to advance... especially because the window is tanked and too high to be sapped and needs very patient demoman stickying (without being attacked)

if you put a dispenser next to the window on the right, you can jump on it and build a sentry inside the building. it will catch the other team completely off guard. I like having a teammate play engineer to get it to level 2 immediately.

But I've done it without putting the dispenser on the outside and jumping on it. I just go into the building and build from there...?

Is this legal?

zomgzombie when u play the first cap most of the time u have 2 level 3 sentries both being tanked and cannot be taken down with the rest of the other team rushing in and trying to spawn rape you. You cannot expose yourself beyond the stairs without getting shot at by people or sentries. it's a good way to have an escape strategy and take out the defense rush on the flank. plus is very conspicuous if you run out and ppl see you build the teleporter or sentry. if ppl dont see you go up there they dont expect it.

and i don't see why not. you're not buildling outside of anything or through any object. just the window.

I think I'm misunderstood this whole scenario haha.

zombie, it's on offense. Blu team.

There will always be a demo or a soldier shooting rockets trough the windows, if not there will always be one on it and he'll notice it.

I don't understand how you are able to pull this off in a full server. Someone must see it there. And where do you get enough metal?

If 2 engy's build their dispenser next to each other, they can help building one sentry very fast.

But I don't see this working in a real battle with mics.
