Currently lasooing an image in GIMP.[[User:Michael|Michael]] 23:43, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 
:I think that's an awesome pistol replacement,but we'll see when it's released. :) --[[User:Mitko1239|Mitko1239]] 23:51, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 
::Lasooing done, I will upload a cleaner one with a clear background later.
 
And yes, it looks pretty neat, and might actually need some skill.[[User:Michael|Michael]] 23:52, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 
:Presumably the Engineer will be defenseless when he takes control of the Sentry's aim. -- [[User:SgtWoodsy|SgtWoodsy]] 00:23, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 
::In addition to this, doesn't having the Wrangler equipped mean the Sentry can't aim automatically at all? -- [[User:SgtWoodsy|SgtWoodsy]] 00:25, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Hmm, does anyone else think that 66% less damage is a lot if it's active ALL the time? I'm hoping it's a rechargeable shield, or something. --[[User:Firestorm|<font color=#FF6600><u>'''Firestorm'''</u></font>]] 00:27, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

:inb4 Pilk posts the "this is not a forum" notice at the top of the page. I dunno, but keep in mind that you can't repair your sentry while you're using it this way, and if you do decide to switch to the wrench to repair it, you've got three seconds with absolutely no fire, so you're dead. However, with two engineers, that's an entirely different story. I'm sure they have thought of something, but we'll see how it plays out. — [[User:WindPower|WindPower]] 06:11, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

== Design ==
 
is it worth noting that the wrangler has a quite similar design to another "controller" out there.
 
being that for the old atari systems, coupled with the fact it's pretty much "bolted" on [http://kapgar.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/misc2600controller.jpg here]
 
 
 
or is this a bit of a stretch? [[User:Hyenadip|Hyenadip]]
 
:I don't think it's a stretch, that's what I thought too when I saw it, although I'm not sure what it's for since you never actually use it (if not one-handed like the picture shows). You may add it to the trivia section if you want to. — [[User:WindPower|WindPower]] 06:11, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
I think this was probably '''the most''' suggested unlockable idea for the Engineer. Even I came up with [http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?p=13370254#post13370254 a design] not unlike Valve's. -- [[User:MistahFixIt|MistahFixIt]] 08:12, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Aim assist ==
 
According to Firestorm, "When using the Wrangler, the Sentry Gun's laser will auto-lock on (aim assist) to targets when you move your crosshairs near them.". From my experience, the Sentry's laser is aimed at your target's "center" (middle of the model), no matter which body part you are aiming at, but you still need to aim at them, not just near them. — [[User:WindPower|<span style="font-weight:bold;">Wind</span>]] {{mod}} 00:18, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
 
: I haven't actually USED the Wrangler (heh), I'm merely transferring the info from the [[Sentry Gun]] page --[[User:Firestorm|<span style="color:#FF6600;text-decoration:underline;font-weight:bold;"><tt><big>Firestorm</big></tt></span>]]&nbsp;{{mod}}&nbsp;[[File:User Firestorm Nuke Sig.jpg]] 00:23, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
 
:: So what's the problem? The quotation is correct. It aim assists. Maybe you want to make it clearer by saying it aim-assists the sentry, not the user. -- [[User:Nineaxis|<span style="color:#FF8C00;font-weight:bold">Nineaxis</span>]] {{mod}} [[File:User Nineaxis sig duck.png|12px]] 00:26, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
 
:::It does aim at the middle, making it a bit hard to hit sometimes. Since the Sentry AI aims for the visible part, it's bound to score more hits. Or at least that's what happens with the Mini-Sentry. Bugger's too small to hit anything on 2fort's bridge with the Wrangler, yet it tears down people with the AI. -- [[User:Vi3trice|<font color=#771d6d>'''Vi3trice'''</font>]] {{mod}} <sub>([[User_talk:Vi3trice|talk]])</sub> 00:29, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Crafting ? ==
 
 
 
Can Wrangler be crafted with 1 secondary token, 1 engy token and 1 scrap, because it's the only craftable secondary weapon ? [[User:Your Enemy|Your Enemy]] 20:32, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
 
:I'd say so, yes. [[User:Maggosh|mag]][[User talk:Maggosh|gosh]] 20:33, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Weapons Demonstration ==
 
 
 
I have to request this be moved to "Needs to be redone" on the weapon demonstration page.  The current video does not compare the fire rate with that of an unwrangled sentry gun.  The current video also does not show the ability for the engineer to use the rockets to rocket jump.  Finally, the current video does not demonstrate whether or not the wrangled gun has knockback (or, if it does, i missed it).
