However, also remember that Combat Mini-Sentries deploy in less than three seconds, and if used correctly can net you surprise kills.

| obtain-text = If you are doing this at long range, keep on the move so you don't take a bullet and/or arrow to the face while attempting this. You can also try using the [[Gunslinger]] and placing a Mini-Sentry close to an inattentive Sniper if you manage to get the drop on him, and using the Wrangler to quickly take care of him at close range.  Keep an eye on any Snipers looking through their scope or drawing their Huntsman, as even without a headshot, a charged body shot will still kill you in one hit if you are not overhealed.
+
| obtain-text = If you can harass an enemy Sniper using your Wrangler, they have a line of sight with which to return fire. Keep moving as you aim to avoid being killed by a [[headshot]]. If you cannot safely attack a Sniper from a distance, consider sneaking up on him and using a [[Combat Mini-Sentry Gun]] instead. Kills using sentry rockets shot via the Wrangler will not count towards this achievement.

| obtain-text = It will help a lot to have a second Engineer to keep your Sentry Gun in good shape while you keep the shield and firepower up in the meantime. Note that a level 2 Sentry Gun has 540 health with the Wrangler, while a level 3 has 648. Also try to take advantage of the fact that most enemy attacks will come in waves, and repair your gun during the downtime if there aren't any other Engineers around.

| obtain-level = Hard
| obtain-text = Your Sentry Gun is usually the best building to choose for this, as it can shoot back at any enemies within range trying to destroy it, but this achievement can be done on any building, even one that is not your own.  Still, even at level 3 Sentry Guns have a hard time lasting that long unless they are under the control of a Wrangler; after a while enemy players will either try to Sap it, or send an ÜberCharge after it.  If things are looking bad, you can pick your structure up in order to prevent it from taking damage, but that will expose you to fire instead.  Be cautious with that tactic as if you are killed while hauling a structure, the structure is lost as well.  A good place to try for this achievement is on a CTF map such as 2Fort, where the flow of attackers is often manageable and the round lasts long enough for you to get this achievement.  If you are very conservative, you can even build near a spawn point and retreat there carrying your target structure during periods of extreme danger.
+
| obtain-text = Out of all of the [[Engineer]]'s buildings, a Level 3 [[Sentry Gun]] is the best candidate to attempt this achievement with. Use it to hold contested areas and do not hesitate to [[haul]] it away if the situation becomes too dangerous.

| obtain-text = A grind achievement, this does not need to be done in a single life. Just keep an eye on the health levels of friendly Engineers' buildings as well as your own, and assist them in defense whenever possible. Unless the Engineer who built the buildings isn't around, you may not get much progress in this achievement at times, but every little bit adds up in the long run. Ideally, you should try tanking Sentry Guns under the control of a Wrangler, since the Engineer cannot repair his Sentry Gun in the meantime.

| obtain-level = Easy
 
| obtain-level = Easy
| obtain-text = Each piece of building debris will give you 10 or 15 metal apiece, depending on the structure that was destroyed. Whenever an enemy destroys your buildings, simply remember to rebuild it using the metal from your buildings rather than running around for ammo packs, and if on the offense, pick up the metal from the enemy Engineers' buildings to resupply your own. Note that only metal added to your metal amount for the Engineer will actually be counted for the achievement, and you cannot pick up additional metal if you already have 200. The fastest way to grind this is to construct a building near a Resupply Cabinet, destroy it, pick up the metal, go back to the Resupply Cabinet, and repeat.
+
| obtain-text = When your buildings are destroyed, pick up the resulting debris to get a head start toward constructing them again.

| obtain-level = Easy
| obtain-text = Shoot at whatever a friendly Engineer's Sentry Gun is shooting at, and you will generally get the assist unless the target was on fire, or the Engineer was being healed by a Medic. This is easier if the Engineer is using the Wrangler, as there will be a team colored laser pointing at the target. This also works the other way, counting if you get a kill with a Sentry Gun and are assisted by another Engineer. A fast way to get this achievement is to build your Sentry Gun near a friendly Engineer's, so that both will shoot at and hopefully kill the same target.
+
| obtain-text = Coordinate with friendly [[Engineers]] to protect key areas or chokepoints. Assist in the defense of allied Sentry Guns with your Shotgun.

+
| obtain-text = This achievement coincides with "[[Obtaining Medic achievements#Midwife_Crisis|Midwife Crisis]]", a corresponding achievement for the Medic. When you are repairing a Sentry Gun that is under fire, ask for a Medic to heal you to negate any residual damage.

| obtain-text = This one mostly comes down to luck, but you can try luring an enemy into your Sentry Gun by running ahead and getting killed, hoping they turn the corner right into your Sentry Gun.  You may also get this incidentally if a Spy attempts the stab-and-sap technique on you, but fails to sap your Sentry Gun in time.

| obtain-level = Medium-Hard
| obtain-text = You need to use the Frontier Justice's [[Kabong!|taunt]] in order to get this achievement. The killing blow is somewhat slow compared to most taunt attacks, but is relatively quiet because the only noise made beforehand is a low strum of the guitar.  Your best bet is to catch an inattentive player (such as a scoped-in Sniper) with it.  Be wary of missing, though, as the guitar smash itself makes a very loud and distinct noise. Try not to linger around the area if you fail, as the guitar pieces laying around after the taunt can give you away.
+
| obtain-text = Find an unaware enemy, such as a scoped [[Sniper]], and perform the [[Frontier Justice]]'s [[taunt]] on them. The process is slow, but relatively quiet until the Engineer smashes the guitar.

| obtain-text = This achievement will count all Sticky Bombs destroyed near any friendly Engineer's buildings, not just your own. Keep in mind you probably won't have much time to shoot the Sticky Bombs, unless the Demoman is trying to snipe your Sentry Gun outside of its range with charged Stickies.  The Pistol is ideal for this thanks to its high fire rate, good magazine capacity, and decent reload time, but the Shotgun and Frontier Justice will also suffice.
+
| obtain-text = Protect friendly buildings by using any of your weapons to remove nearby Stickybombs. Using the [[Short Circuit]] to destroy Stickybombs will not count toward to this achievement.

| obtain-text = Build a level 3 Sentry Gun, and then haul it to a suitable place near the action.  Take into account it will take a considerable amount of time to rebuild because it has to go through not only the rebuilding animation, but also the two upgrade animations to get back to level 3. If an enemy finds and attacks you before the gun is fully ready, you can attempt to repair it as it unpacks, though you should try to unpack the Sentry on an elevated vantage point to deny the enemy immediate access to it.

You only need to hit the building once for the achievement to trigger. Some Engineers will place Teleporters before leaving their spawn in a setup phase, so you can help construct those if you are having trouble with this achievement.

| obtain-text = Make sure to place your Sentry Gun in an area where it's hard for the enemy to destroy it while they're capturing the point. Remember, kill assists do not count, so this will take longer if you have allies that actively defend the point. While not advised, placing your Sentry Gun in a position such that it can only shoot at enemies on the point (and not while they are moving towards it) can help get this achievement faster.
+
| obtain-text = Place your Sentry Gun in a position where it can cover multiple routes to the [[control point (objective)|control point]] or [[Payload#Carts|Payload cart]]. Use the [[Wrangler]] to pick off any enemies that are out of range.

| obtain-level = Medium-Hard
| obtain-text = You will probably need to work with the Heavy on this achievement, as the Dispenser's healing radius is fairly small, limiting the Heavy to a certain area, and generally making him an easy target.  Keep an eye out for any Spies looking to make an easy Backstab, and try to cover your Heavy's position with a Sentry Gun to discourage this. Having your Dispenser at Level 3 will help the Heavy immensely as the healing rate otherwise is not enough to keep him healthy in the middle of a firefight. The [[Dalokohs Bar]] can be useful for the Heavy to equip, granting himself fifty extra HP. Note also that the Heavy has a related achievement called "Factory Worker"; while not a direct counterpart (as it requires a Heavy to gain 20 lifetime kills while being healed by a Dispenser), it does overlap, so it may be easier to obtain if the Heavy is looking for that particular achievement. This is significantly easier to accomplish while on the defense, as the Heavy will not need to range out to attack enemies, and can simply wait for them to come to him.
+
| obtain-text = This achievement partially coincides with "[[Obtaining Heavy achievements#Factory_Worker|Factory Worker]]", a corresponding achievement for the Heavy. Deploy your Dispenser near areas of conflict to allow the Heavy to remain near the front lines; the replenishment offered will turn him into a slightly more mobile Sentry Gun. Note: If the Heavy leaves the heal beam of the dispenser the counter will reset.

Note: destroying a Combat Mini-sentry does not count towards this achievement.

| obtain-text = When on the offensive, [[haul]] your Sentry Gun into a position where you will easily be able to attack an enemy [[Engineer]]'s Sentry Gun from a distance. Destroying a [[Combat Mini-Sentry]] will not count toward this achievement.

| obtain-text = Try to deploy your Sentry in an easily defensible position that overlooks a wide-open area.  Gravel Pit is a great map for this, as it has a lot of open areas, especially at points A and C.  Other than an open area, you'll have to make sure you aim well and, if using a level 3 Sentry Gun, anticipating movement and leading the rockets will also help. Guarding chokepoints with your Wrangler can help, but make sure to keep your laser out of sight.

| obtain-text = Try to kill the Spy before you take out the Sappers to avoid being backstabbed as you work; once the Spy is out of the picture, then focus on removing any Sappers around. The timer starts when either the Spy or any Sappers are killed, so you'll have to work fast starting then. If you kill the Spy first, removing two Sappers will take about 4 seconds if you are already at your Buildings, which is more lenient than removing 2 Sappers, and trying to kill the Spy in 6 seconds. Alternatively, you can get this achievement easily if you manage to un-sap a Sentry Gun while the Spy is undisguised (such as just after killing someone else), instantly killing him and leaving you free to save the second building, if you hadn't already. Furthermore, if the Spy has sapped an active Teleporter, you simply need to remove the Electro Sapper from one end and it will automatically remove the second from the other end, saving you a bit of time there, though beware if he tries to [[telefrag]] you and stand off of your Exit.
+
| obtain-text = Kill the Spy first to prevent additional Electro Sappers from being placed. Afterward, focus on removing any Sappers that are still around. Move quickly, as the achievement timer starts after the Spy or either sapper is eliminated. Removing both Sappers will take approximately five seconds.

| obtain-text = This depends on the class of the player who killed your Sentry Gun, as healthier classes will need more Revenge Crits stocked up in order to take down. If there is a Spy who recently sapped your Sentry Gun, you can sacrifice your Sentry Gun and use any Revenge Crits you receive from it to kill the Spy if you can keep an eye on him until then. Just beware of Spies using the Dead Ringer, as they will almost always survive long enough to escape. Note, you can still get this achievement if the player who destroyed your Sentry Gun dies, you just need to get a kill on that player using the Revenge Crits you got from your Sentry Gun, even after he respawns.

| obtain-text = Simply keep an eye out for any Sentry Guns under the control of a Wrangler, and repair and reload them as necessary. Wrangled Sentries cannot be repaired or resupplied by the Engineer who owns it without switching to repair it himself, shutting it down shortly, so Wrangler-using Engineers will appreciate help.  If there are any Wrangled guns in the thick of battle, stick nearby to quickly rack up points. Each whack that adds to the Sentry Gun's health and/or ammo gives you a point, so constantly tanking a Wrangled Sentry Gun will quickly get you a large number of points.

| obtain-text = Keep a sharp eye out of any shimmering and open fire if you think there is a cloaked Spy somewhere. If a Spy is on fire, bleeding, or coated with Jarate but is still cloaked, killing them will be a lot easier and should still count towards this.  Also, simply use the Wrangler for randomly sweeping areas nearby as Spy-check and sooner or later you'll get lucky.  The stronger your Sentry Gun, the easier it will be to actually kill the Spy. Be wary as spies in the middle of uncloaking do not count towards this achievement.
+
| obtain-text = If you see the shimmer of a Spy's [[cloak]], use the Wrangler to manually scan the area and prevent him from escaping. A cloaked Spy that is on [[fire]], [[bleeding]], or coated with [[Mad Milk]] or [[Jarate]] is easily noticeable and will count toward the achievement.

You will only get a point for this achievement if you land the hit that upgrades the building, so try not to upgrade a building being worked on by another Engineer, or try to get the last hit in.

The easiest way to accomplish this achievement is to construct a building near spawn, and then haul it to the front lines. Also remember that when playing offense, you can move your buildings forward to continue supporting your team. Just make sure that you're not under enemy fire, as they might be able to hit your toolbox and insta-gib you.

Common routes include the spiral staircase in 2Fort, or the path that leads to the center of Turbine, opposite of the stairs that lead to the Spawn area. Other than that, you can also use your normal weapons to kill the players, but most classes will either outrun you or overpower you. Redeploying a building can help you get the drop on the enemy, as most of the time they will not expect a Sentry Gun to suddenly appear somewhere that was clear when they passed by on their way to grab the Intelligence.

Just remember to try to fall back to your team if it starts looking bad, and don't bite off more than you can chew. Try to move around with your Pistol or Wrench equipped and switch to the Frontier Justice once you sight an enemy, as the glowing Critical effect on your weapon will instantly give you away.

| obtain-text = Every time your [[Sentry Gun]] is destroyed and you have the [[Frontier Justice]] equipped, you will receive Revenge crits accordingly. This means that this task can be performed over the lifespan of multiple Sentry Guns. Play conservatively, only picking off enemies that wander too close. Do not try to go on a rampage, as the [[Engineer]] is still a frail class.
