Obtaining Engineer achievements

---

Battle Rustler Teleport 100 team members into battle. Difficulty: Easy How to: This doesn't have to be completed on a single teleporter. The best way to rack up teleports is to be on the Offensive team on an attack/defend or payload map such as Gold Rush or Dustbowl.

---

Best Little Slaughterhouse in Texas Rack up 5000 kills with your Sentry Guns. Difficulty: Easy How to: This is a grind achievement. The best way to get this is to have good Sentry placement, either in easily defensible positions on defense, or by taking players by surprise on offense.

---

Breaking Morant Kill 10 Snipers with a sentry gun under the control of your Wrangler Difficulty: Medium How to: 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.

---

Building Block Have a sentry shielded by the Wrangler absorb 500 damage without being destroyed. Difficulty: Medium How to: It will help a lot to have a second Engineer to keep your sentry in good shape while you keep the shield and firepower up in the meantime. Note that a level 2 Sentry has 540 health with the Wrangler, while a level 3 has 648. This means that you can simply let it be destroyed while hiding somewhere else. 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. Another good method is to have a Pyro buddy fire his taunt attack at a level 3 wrangled sentry - It will do a straight up 450 damage, and the final 50 can be filled with a few shotgun blasts.

---

Built To Last Help a single building take over 2000 damage without being destroyed. Difficulty: Hard How to: Your Sentry is usually the best building to choose for this, as it has the highest health, but any building can be used technically, even one that is not your own. Still, even at level 3 that comes out to about 9 or 10 health bars worth of damage, and Sentries have a hard time lasting that long. After a while enemy players will either try to Sap it, or send an Ubercharge after it. If things are looking bad, you can pick your structure up to stop it from taking damage, but that will expose you to the 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 Capture the Flag 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 supply cabinet and retreat there carrying your target structure during periods of extreme danger.

---

Circle the Wagons Repair 50,000 damage to friendly buildings constructed by other players. Difficulty: Easy/Medium How to:: Just keep an eye on the health levels of the team's buildings as well as your own. Unless the Engineer who built the buildings isn't around, you may not get much progress in this achievement, but every little bit adds up in the long run.

---

Death Metal Pick up 10,000 pieces of waste metal from destroyed buildings. Difficulty: Easy How to: Each Piece of waste metal will give you 10 or 15 pieces apiece, depending on the structure that was destroyed. Note that only metal added to your metal amount for the engineer will actually be counted for the achievement, so anything going over the 200 cap will not count. The easiest way to do this is be near a Resupply Cabinet, build any Buildables and destroy it, go back to the Resupply Cabinet, and repeat.

---

Deputized Get 10 assists with another Engineer where a sentry gun was involved in the kill. Difficulty: Medium How to: Shoot at whatever your friend's sentry 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 and are assisted by another Engineer. In a round with a lot of engineers its very possible to achieve this one without trying.

---

Doc Holiday Have a dispenser heal three teammates at the same time. Difficulty: Very Easy How to: This should happen quite quickly if you deploy a dispenser on the front lines, and is almost assured if you place a dispenser in a reasonable place as a member of the defending team before the gates come down.

---

Doc, Stock and Barrel Repair a sentry gun under fire while being healed by a Medic. Difficulty: Medium How to: This Achievement coincides with the Medic Achievement "Midwife Crisis", so that may increase your chances of getting this. Otherwise, it just comes down to hoping a Medic is around to heal you at the right time. You can try calling for "Medic!" when you think you might be able to get it, to get a Medic to quickly boost your health. Attack/defend maps are a good place to find Medics willing to heal you, particularly on defense.

---

Drugstore Cowboy Have dispensers you created dispense a combined amount of 100,000 health over your career. Difficulty: Easy How to: Another grind achievement. If you are focusing on getting this, place dispensers closer to the front lines and near injured allies to heal them faster. Upgrading your dispensers will also speed this process up significantly. Be wary of placing dispensers too close to health kits, as teammates may choose to pick the kit up instead as it is quicker.

---

Fistful of Sappers Destroy 25 sappers on buildings built by other team members. Difficulty: Medium How to: Keep an eye on friendly Engineer structures, especially if they are not near their buildings. If you see a friend being harassed by an enemy spy, give him a hand, though he may remove the sappers before you have a chance to help.

---

Frontier Justice Within 10 seconds, have your sentry kill the enemy that just killed you. Difficulty: Medium How to: This one mostly comes down to luck, but you can try luring an enemy into your sentry by running ahead and getting killed, hoping they turn the corner right into your sentry. You may also get this if a Spy tries to stab you and sap your buildings but fails to sap your Sentry in time after backstabbing you and gets killed in return.

---

Git Along! Manage to get to, and then remove, a sapper placed on your building while you were several meters away. Difficulty: Medium How to: Place a decoy Teleporter a fair distance away if you are not using your teleporters for anything else. Many Spies can't resist and will place a Sapper on your building, giving himself away. Then simply run to the building and knock off the sapper, but beware as the Spy might also be nearby hoping to get rid of you.

---

Honky Tonk Man Smash an enemy player's head in with your guitar. Difficulty: Medium/Hard How to: You need to use the Frontier Justice taunt-kill 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 Sniper) with it. Be wary of missing, though, as the guitar smash itself makes a very loud and distinct noise.

---

How the Pests was Gunned Destroy 50 enemy stickybombs lying in range of friendly buildings. Difficulty: Medium How to: 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 outside of its range. The Pistol would be good to have for this thanks to its high fire rate, good capacity, and decent reload time, but any weapon (including melee weapons) can destroy the bombs.

---

If You Build It, They Will Die Haul a level 3 sentry gun into a position that achieves a kill shortly after being redeployed. Difficulty: Medium How to:Build the Level 3 close to the action, and then haul it to a suitable place near the action where a player is likely to run to. 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.

---

Land Grab Help a team member construct a building. Difficulty: Very Easy How to: At the beginning of a round, follow any engineer who is preparing to place a building, and when he places it, help construct 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 use those if you are having trouble with this achievement.

---

No Man's Land Use a sentry gun to kill 25 enemy players trying to capture a point. Difficulty: Easy/Medium How to: This does not have to be done with one sentry, so don't be discouraged if it gets destroyed. Make sure to place your sentry 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.

---

(Not So) Lonely Are the Brave Keep a Heavy healed with your dispenser while he makes five kills. Difficulty: Medium/Hard How to: You will probably need to work with the Heavy on this Achievement, as the Dispenser's healing radius is pretty small, limiting him to a certain area, and generally making him an easy target. Keep an eye out for any Spies looking to make an easy Backstab. 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. If there are no friendly Medics present to give the Heavy overheals, the Dalokohs Bar can be useful for the Heavy to equip, granting himself fifty extra hitpoints. Note also that the Heavy has a related achievement called "Factory Worker"; while not a direct counterpart, it may be easier to obtain if the Heavy is looking for his.

---

Patent Protection Destroy an enemy Engineer's sentry gun with a sentry under control of your Wrangler. Difficulty: Medium How to: With the Wrangler equipped, building a sentry out of the range of an enemy sentry means you can shoot at the enemy Engineer's sentry while it cannot shoot back, unless he is using the Wrangler as well. Unless your sentry is Level 3, try to make sure the Engineer is not near his sentry, or kill him before attempting, as he will be able to repair any damage done to his sentry otherwise. Note: destroying a Combat Mini-sentry does not count towards this achievement.

---

Pownd on the Range Kill 10 enemies outside the normal sentry gun range using the Wrangler. Difficulty: Medium How to: You'll need wide open areas, big enough so that the sentry's range cannot cover the whole 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, anticipating movement and leading the rockets will also help.

---

Quick Draw Kill a spy and two sappers within 10 seconds. Difficulty: Easy/Medium How to: Prioritize the Spy before you take out the sappers. 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 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.

---

Revengineering Use a revenge crit to kill the enemy player that destroyed your sentry gun. Difficulty: Medium How to: This depends on what class the player who killed your Sentry Gun is using. Healthier classes will need more Revenge Crits stocked up in order to take down. If there is a Spy who recently sapped your Sentry, you can sacrifice your sentry and use any Revenge Crits you receive from it to kill the Spy if you can keep an eye on him until then.

---

Rio Grind Perform 50 repairs and/or reloads on a sentry gun being Wrangled by another Engineer. Difficulty: Medium How to: Look out for Sentries encased in a transparent, team-colored bubble, as these are sentries under the control of a Wrangler. Stay by these as they cannot refill ammunition or health without the Engineer who owns it switching to repair it himself, shutting it down shortly, so most Wrangler-using Engineers will appreciate help. If there are any Wrangled guns in the thick of battle, stick nearby to get points into this.

---

Search Engine Kill three cloaked Spies with a sentry gun under control of your Wrangler. Difficulty: Medium/Hard How to: Keep a sharp eye out of any Silhouettes 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. Obviously the stronger your Sentry, the easier it will be to actually kill the Spy.

---

Silent Pardner Upgrade 50 buildings built by other team members. Difficulty: Easy/Medium How to: A partial grind achievement. When an Engineer is building a new structure, help upgrade if you have the metal to spare, and keep an eye out for any buildings that are not fully upgraded in general. Teleport Entrances near the spawn are easy targets because even if you weren't playing Engineer prior, you can switch to Engineer quickly, upgrade the teleport, and switch back to whatever class you were playing as beforehand.

---

Six String Stringer Provide an enemy player with a freeze cam of your guitar playing skills. Difficulty: Easy How to: Taunt with the Frontier Justice after killing an enemy.

---

Texas Ranger Haul buildings one kilometer over your career. Difficulty: Easy How to: Just pick up any building, and run around with it until the Achievement triggers. This will be a little slow due to the Engineer's reduced speed when hauling a building. If you are on the attacking team on a map like Dustbowl or Gold Rush, you can place a building in spawn during setup (where placing buildings is allowed) and run around with it until the round starts to work towards this.

---

Texas Two Step Use your shotgun to finish off an enemy recently damaged by your sentry gun. Difficulty: Medium How to: Keep on eye on what targets your sentry is shooting at currently, and focus on that target. You can also use the Wrangler to choose your targets, and switch to the shotgun after damaging the player. Be aware that if your sentry is Level 2 or 3, it may kill them faster than you can shoot them down with your shotgun. Using the Frontier Justice's revenge crits is a good way to ensure the kill.

---

The Extinguished Gentleman Have dispensers you built extinguish 20 burning players. Difficulty: Easy How to: Unless there is a Medic or Health Kits nearby, burning players will probably fall back to your Dispenser if they see it or know where it is. Put Dispensers near places teammates can easily retreat to as most players will make healing a priority if they are on fire.

---

The Wrench Connection Kill a disguised spy with your Wrench. Difficulty: Easy How to: Disguised Spies will always be trying to sap your buildings, and the wrench will wipe out any Spy with one critical hit. Just keep an eyes in the back of your head, as they will usually try to sneak up on you to stab and then sap. Note: If you hit a spy using the Dead Ringer and your wrench triggers the feign death, you will get this Achievement even if you don't actually kill the Spy.

---

Trade Secrets Kill 20 players carrying the intelligence. Difficulty: Medium How to: Instead of placing your Sentry directly in the line of sight of the Intelligence, place it (or redeploy it) along common escape routes. 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.

---

Uncivil Engineer Provide an enemy player with a freeze cam of you and the sentry that just killed them. Difficulty: Very Easy How to: Stay near your sentry, and chances are if it kills someone, their freeze cam will have both you and the sentry in it.

---

Unforgiven Kill three enemies with revenge crits without dying. Difficulty: Medium How to: Stay near your sentry to build up a reasonable amount of crits, then go to town when you think you have enough. Try to ambush classes, as you have low health but your shotgun will do a lot of damage if you hit them at close range with a solid portion of a single shot. 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.
