| obtain-text = Always remember to build a [[Teleporter Entrance]] at the beginning of a round and upgrade it to its highest level. Place your [[Teleporter Exit]] in a place where teammates will be able to quickly enter the action without the risk of being killed immediately upon reaching the other side.  The more useful the Teleporter is, the more frequently it will be used.  On offense, be sure to move your Exit up as your team progresses, to ensure that it remains useful. In cases where the respawn point moves forward, such as [[Badwater]] and [[Upward]], be sure to move your Entrance up as well. In some cases, if you build your Teleporter Entrance and Exit too close to each other (Most likely for farming), points will not be counted for this achievement.
+
| obtain-text = Always have a [[Teleporter]] system active, even if the distance it covers is relatively short. Upgrade the Teleporter system and place the exit close to the battle to ensure its use. If the distance between the entrance and exit is too short, points will not be awarded toward this achievement.

| obtain-level = Easy-Medium
| obtain-text = This is a grind achievement, albeit a fairly long one.  The best way to get this is to place regular Sentry Guns in good locations, either in easily defensible positions on defense, or by taking players by surprise on offense. Also remember that Combat Mini-Sentries deploy in less than three seconds, and if used correctly they can net you many surprise kills. The [[Wrangler]] is also useful for obtaining kills outside of your Sentry's normal range.
+
| obtain-text = This achievement will naturally be obtained after a large amount of time playing as the [[Engineer]], as the Sentry Gun makes up a large percentage of his firepower.

| obtain-text = If you're attempting this achievement at long range, keep on the move so you don't take a bullet or arrow to the face. Also beware that Snipers may deliberately target you or your Sentry Gun while you are setting up, or may completely avoid moving into the line of sight of your Sentry Gun once it is set up, so the element of surprise can help you considerably here. You can also try using the [[Gunslinger]] and place a Mini-Sentry close to an inattentive Sniper, then use the Wrangler to quickly eliminate him or her.  Keep an eye on any Snipers looking through their scope or drawing their [[Huntsman]], as even without a headshot, a fully 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 repairing your Sentry Gun. Remember that the Wrangler only reduces the damage that your gun will take, it does not increase its maximum HP. 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 [[Electro Sapper|sap]] it or deploy an [[ÜberCharge]].  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 building is lost with you.  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 Gun]]s under the control of a [[Wrangler]], since Engineers cannot repair their Sentry Guns while controlling them.

| 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 rebuild it using the metal from your buildings rather than running around for [[ammo pack]]s, and if on offense, pick up the metal from the enemy Engineers' buildings to resupply your own.  Note that only metal added to your metal amount will actually be counted for the achievement, and you cannot pick up additional metal if you already have 200 metal.

| obtain-text = Shoot at whatever a friendly Engineer's Sentry Gun is shooting at, and you will generally get the assist.  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 = 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. However, be aware that Spies using [[Your Eternal Reward]] cannot be targeted by Sentry Guns after a successful backstab.

| obtain-text = Enemies may occasionally target you instead of your Sentry Gun to prevent it from being repaired. The Sentry can finish off your killer within the ten second window as long as it isn't also destroyed.

Then simply run to the building and knock off the Electro Sapper, but beware as the Spy might also be using the Teleporter as a decoy, hoping to backstab you as you attempt to save your building.

| obtain-text = You need to use the [[Frontier Justice]]'s 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 all players will be able to see the guitar pieces, which can easily give away your presence.

| obtain-level = Medium
| obtain-text = This achievement will count all stickybombs destroyed near any friendly Engineer's buildings, not just your own.  Keep in mind you probably won't have much time to shoot the stickybombs, as Demomen tend to detonate their explosives quickly to deny enemies the chance to destroy the bombs before they can destroy the target building.  The [[Pistol]] is ideal for this thanks to its high rate of fire, good magazine capacity, relative accuracy, and decent reload time, but the [[Shotgun]] and [[Frontier Justice]] will also suffice. Using the [[Wrangler]] is also helpful to shoot stickybombs within range of your buildings as you won't need to switch to your Shotgun or Pistol.
+
| 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.  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. Try to use the [[Jag]] to speed up construction time and reduce your vulnerability window.

Remember, kill assists do not count, so this will take longer if you have allies that actively defend the point. You can also try to use the [[Wrangler]] to selectively kill any enemies. The [[payload cart]] counts as a point as well, so ambushing enemy teams with the Wrangler can get you surprise kills.

| 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 that player an easy target. Due to this limitation on the Heavy's mobility, it is recommended that the Heavy use the [[Brass Beast]] if possible. Keep an eye out for any [[Spy|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 players healthy in the middle of a firefight.
+
| 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 also that the Heavy has a related achievement called "Factory Worker;" while not a direct counterpart, 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 the enemy to approach.

| obtain-text = The Wrangler allows your Sentry Gun to shoot at an enemy Sentry Gun from outside of its range, unless the enemy Engineer is using the Wrangler as well. On the offense, try to [[haul]] your Sentry Gun into a position where you can easily attack the enemy Engineer's, the element of surprise is often enough to force other players to abandon their building nests. Unless your Sentry Gun is level 3, try to make sure the enemy Engineer is not nearby, or kill him or her before attempting to destroy the Sentry Gun, as the Engineer will be able to repair any damage done to it otherwise. Be on the lookout for other Engineers trying to deploy their Sentry Guns around corners and use the rockets of a level 3 to destroy them. Destroying a Combat Mini-Sentry does not count towards 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 [[capture point|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 = Deploy your Sentry Gun in a defensive position and use the Wrangler to defend the area from classes that attack at range, such as the [[Soldier]] or [[Sniper]].
 
 
Using the [[Gunslinger]] can give you the element of surprise against enemies as it allows you to deploy a Combat Mini-Sentry in less than four seconds. You can also attempt to [[haul]] a normal Sentry Gun into an ambushing position and use the [[Jag]] to quickly deploy it.

| obtain-text = Try to kill the Spy before you take out the Electro Sappers to avoid being [[backstab]]bed as you work; once the Spy is out of the picture, then focus on removing any Electro Sappers around. The timer starts when either the Spy or any Electro Sappers are killed, so you'll have to work fast starting then. If you kill the Spy first, removing two Electro Sappers will take about 4 seconds if you are already at your [[building]]s, which is more lenient than removing 2 Electro Sappers, and trying to kill the Spy in 6 seconds.
+
| 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.
 
 
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), the Sentry Gun will kill the Spy and leave 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, allowing you to remove two Electro Sappers very quickly.

If there is a [[Spy]] who recently sapped your Sentry Gun, you can sacrifice it and use any Revenge Crits to kill the Spy. 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 that player respawns.

Wrangled Sentry Guns cannot be repaired or resupplied by the Engineer who owns it without shutting the gun down, so he or she will appreciate your 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 repairing and reloading one will quickly get you a large number of points.

If a Spy is on [[fire]], [[bleeding]], or coated with [[Jarate]] or [[Mad Milk]] but is still cloaked, killing that player will be a lot easier and still counts towards this achievement.  Also, simply use the Wrangler to randomly sweep areas nearby 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.

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.

Also remember that when playing offense, you can move your buildings forward to continue supporting your team.

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 enemies, 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.
