The '''[[Wrangler]]''' is an unlockable [[Pistol]] replacement for the [[Engineer]]. It is part of the [[Engineer Update]] and was announced on Day 2.

{{Quotation|Blog post highlighting the '''Wrangler'''|Everyone loves remote control toys.

−
While selected, it allows the Engineer to take control of his [[Sentry Gun]]'s aim, and the Sentry Gun stops aiming automatically. When switching to another weapon away from the Wrangler, the Sentry Gun is left defenseless for 3 seconds.
+
The '''Wrangler''' is an unlockable [[Weapons#engiesecondary|secondary weapon]] for the [[Engineer]]. It appears to be the remains of a wooden {{botignore|pistol}} grip implemented under an early-80's single-button style team-colored joystick, with a small, rectangular radar satellite dish protruding from the front. A team-colored wire which is taped and attached to the joystick runs from the back of it and into the radar dish.
  
−
The Wrangler also gives the Sentry Gun a shield that absorbs 66% of incoming damage, and improves both the gun's firing rate, and the missile launch rate at level 3.
+
When in use, the Wrangler allows the Engineer to manually take control of his [[Sentry Gun]]. Upon doing so, the Sentry Gun loses its default autoaim and automatic firing abilities. Instead, the Engineer can direct the building to fire in any direction with the primary fire button {{DK|MOUSE1}}. If the player utilizes manual control over a Level 3 Sentry Gun, the alternate fire button {{DK|MOUSE2|link=no}} is used to fire rockets.

+
When firing either the guns or rockets, the Sentry Gun has no maximum range; however, the rockets suffer from [[Damage#Distance modifier|damage falloff]] based on the Engineer's distance to the target. Unlike rockets, the Sentry Gun's bullets face damage falloff based off of the Sentry Gun's position when outside its normal range, not the Engineer's position; the bullets also experience some spread.
 +
 
 +
The Wrangler produces a translucent, team-colored shield around the Sentry Gun that absorbs 66% of all incoming [[damage]]. This shield lasts as long as the player keeps the Wrangler as their active weapon. However, repairs made to the Sentry Gun while shielded only restore 33% as much health and ammo. In addition, the firing rate of a manually-controlled, "Wrangled" Sentry Gun is increased depending on what level it is: [[Sentry Gun#Combat Mini-Sentry Gun|Combat Mini-Sentry]] firing speed is increased by +50%, level 1 Sentry Gun firing speed is increased by +40%, and upgraded Sentry Guns' firing speeds are increased by +33%. A level 3 Sentry Gun's missile launch rate is also increased by +26.5%. A laser sight is emitted from the Sentry Gun, which follows the Engineer's [[Heads-up display|crosshair]]. The laser sight has minor auto-aim ability; upon aiming at an [[cloak|uncloaked]] and [[disguise|undisguised]] enemy, it focuses towards their center, provided the Engineer keeps his crosshair on them. Other players can see this laser, and use it to quickly find the location of the Sentry Gun. It is possible for a player to shoot themselves with the Wrangler by standing in front of the (Wrangled) Sentry Gun.
 +
 
 +
While using the [[Jag]], the 20% slower repair rate stacks with the 66% slower repair rate while the shield is active on the Wrangler. This makes it harder to keep the Sentry Gun up while it is receiving damage.
 +
 
 +
When the Engineer switches to another weapon or dies, the Sentry Gun is rendered inoperative for three seconds within its shield. Once the inoperative duration has passed, the shield disappears and the Sentry Gun resumes normal operation. If the Sentry Gun is [[Sapper|sapped]] or hit by a charged shot from the [[Cow Mangler 5000]] while it is in operation, all cooldown effects caused by the Wrangler are removed.
 +
 
 +
Being [[stun]]ned by any means leaves the Engineer unable to fire, but keeps the Sentry Gun in the Wrangled state, effectively disabling it.
 +
 
 +
The Wrangler allows an Engineer to get to high places through the use of a [[Jumping#Sentry rocket jump|Sentry Gun jump]], similar to a [[Jumping#Basic rocket jump|Rocket Jump]].
 +
 
 +
The Wrangler is automatically given to any player who obtains 17 [[Engineer achievements]].

The Wrangler is an unlockable secondary weapon for the Engineer. It appears to be the remains of a wooden pistol grip implemented under an early-80's single-button style team-colored joystick, with a small, rectangular radar satellite dish protruding from the front. A team-colored wire which is taped and attached to the joystick runs from the back of it and into the radar dish.

When in use, the Wrangler allows the Engineer to manually take control of his Sentry Gun. Upon doing so, the Sentry Gun loses its default autoaim and automatic firing abilities. Instead, the Engineer can direct the building to fire in any direction with the primary fire button (default key: MOUSE1). If the player utilizes manual control over a Level 3 Sentry Gun, the alternate fire button (default key: MOUSE2) is used to fire rockets.

When firing either the guns or rockets, the Sentry Gun has no maximum range; however, the rockets suffer from damage falloff based on the Engineer's distance to the target. Unlike rockets, the Sentry Gun's bullets face damage falloff based off of the Sentry Gun's position when outside its normal range, not the Engineer's position; the bullets also experience some spread.

The Wrangler produces a translucent, team-colored shield around the Sentry Gun that absorbs 66% of all incoming damage. This shield lasts as long as the player keeps the Wrangler as their active weapon. However, repairs made to the Sentry Gun while shielded only restore 33% as much health and ammo. In addition, the firing rate of a manually-controlled, "Wrangled" Sentry Gun is increased depending on what level it is: Combat Mini-Sentry firing speed is increased by +50%, level 1 Sentry Gun firing speed is increased by +40%, and upgraded Sentry Guns' firing speeds are increased by +33%. A level 3 Sentry Gun's missile launch rate is also increased by +26.5%. A laser sight is emitted from the Sentry Gun, which follows the Engineer's crosshair. The laser sight has minor auto-aim ability; upon aiming at an uncloaked and undisguised enemy, it focuses towards their center, provided the Engineer keeps his crosshair on them. Other players can see this laser, and use it to quickly find the location of the Sentry Gun. It is possible for a player to shoot themselves with the Wrangler by standing in front of the (Wrangled) Sentry Gun.

While using the Jag, the 20% slower repair rate stacks with the 66% slower repair rate while the shield is active on the Wrangler. This makes it harder to keep the Sentry Gun up while it is receiving damage.

When the Engineer switches to another weapon or dies, the Sentry Gun is rendered inoperative for three seconds within its shield. Once the inoperative duration has passed, the shield disappears and the Sentry Gun resumes normal operation. If the Sentry Gun is sapped or hit by a charged shot from the Cow Mangler 5000 while it is in operation, all cooldown effects caused by the Wrangler are removed.

Being stunned by any means leaves the Engineer unable to fire, but keeps the Sentry Gun in the Wrangled state, effectively disabling it.

The Wrangler allows an Engineer to get to high places through the use of a Sentry Gun jump, similar to a Rocket Jump.

The Wrangler is automatically given to any player who obtains 17 Engineer achievements.
