— The Engineer rescuing a building from far away
|
” |
The Rescue Ranger is a community-created primary weapon for the Engineer. It resembles the normal Shotgun, but with a different style magazine tube and barrel (which is not sawed off) and a small, permanently turned on monitor showing a moving sine wave where a scope is typically found. The monitor is connected to an either yellow or orange box at the end of the barrel with a team-colored light on its end.
While the Rescue Ranger is the Engineer's active weapon, it is able to pick up any of his buildings that are in his direct line of sight from a range, at the cost of 100 Metal. Hauling a building in this way immediately teleports the building into the Engineer's possession with a team-colored flash, and leaves a tracer beam that temporarily notifies others of the user's location. The weapon also fires unique bolts instead of bullets, which repair 60 health to friendly buildings that cost metal at a 4:1 (health:metal) ratio (in effect, healing 4 health consumes 1 unit of metal). Note that these shots only repair the building, and do not restock ammo, apply upgrades, or damage attached enemy Sappers.
As the downside to these perks, the weapon carries much less ammo than its stock counterpart, with only a capacity of 4 and a reserve stock of 16. In addition, possessing the Rescue Ranger means the Engineer becomes marked for death whenever he hauls a building, causing him to take mini-crits from any incoming damage, for as long as he hauls the building and for a few seconds after redeploying it. This effect applies whether the building was picked up via the Rescue Ranger's ability or not.
The Rescue Ranger has an added cosmetic effect; enemies killed with a bolt, if near a map object, are pinned to it via the bolt. The bolts can also clash with hostile projectiles or throwable items.
As with most projectiles, the Rescue Ranger's bolts can be reflected by the Pyro's compression blast. Reflected bolts deal regular damage to enemy buildings, but cannot repair friendly buildings, and simply have no effect.
The Rescue Ranger was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

December 21, 2017 Patch (Smissmas 2017)
- Added Festivized variant.
- Fixed missing display attribute for the Rescue Ranger (client display issue only).
Unused content
- There is a set of unused sounds for this weapon associated with buildings teleporting and some kind of charging.
- Some of the sounds are named
rescue_ranger_teleport_send_01andrescue_ranger_teleport_receive_01, which hint that this weapon could have been able to both pick up buildings from a distance and place them from a distance.
- Some of the sounds are named
- Unused text and an unused attribute suggests that this weapon initially did not allowed users to freely teleport their buildings as long they had metal, instead it required the user to deal damage to fill up "Rescue Energy" before they could teleport their own buildings.
- The string for the text in the language files is
TF_Rescueand contains the textENERGYwhile the attribute's description isGenerate building rescue energy on damage.
- The string for the text in the language files is
Bugs
- The Engineer achievement Circle the Wagons cannot be earned with the Rescue Ranger, despite it being able to repair friendly buildings.
- Reflected bolts from Pyros do not heal buildings.
- Bolts appear to repair redeployed buildings even when they cannot yet be repaired due to not having finished reconstruction.
- If the Engineer picks up a building when a Spy just sapped that building, the Engineer successfully packs it up, however, before placing the building, the Sapper model appears on the blueprint and constantly damages the building, but since it is impossible to damage the building while hauled, the building health keeps regenerating as well. If the player deploys the building, the Sapper cannot be destroyed, but the building still works normally.
- Rescue Ranger kills count as Sentry Gun kills in Engineer contracts.
- The bolts' particle effect appear at the back of the weapon instead of the shotgun's tip.
Trivia
- The amplitude of the sine wave in the monitor is based on the user's Metal count: having full Metal causes the wave to be at maximum height, while lacking enough Metal to long-range haul a building makes it significantly flatter and having no Metal renders the wave almost completely flat.
- The effect is done using a dedicated material proxy.
- The Rescue Ranger is a left-handed shotgun (as shown by the ejection port being visible on the left hand side of the gun), despite this Engineer holds it right-handed. A right-handed shotgun has the ejection port on its right side to prevent ejected shells from striking the user.
