| 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 from 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 four 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.

| 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 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.

| 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 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.
+
| 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 Spy that is on [[fire]], [[bleeding]], or coated with [[Mad Milk]] or [[Jarate]] is easily noticeable and will count towards 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 kill you and destroy your building in one go.

Using the [[Frontier Justice]]'s Revenge Crits is also a good way to ensure the kill.

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.

Try to move around with your secondary or melee weapon 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, you will receive revenge crits accordingly. This means that this task can be performed over the lifespan of multiple Sentry Guns, so 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.

Teleport 100 team members into battle.
