The Rescue Ranger is a primary weapon for the Engineer. It resembles a normal Shotgun, but has a small monitor mounted on its top in the location a scope is typically found which shows a moving sine-wave. The monitor is connected to a yellow box at the end of the barrel with a team-colored light on its end.
While the Rescue Ranger is the Engineer's active weapon, it is able to pick up any of his buildings that are in his direct line of sight from long range, at the cost of 130 Metal. Hauling a building in this way will immediately teleport the building into the Engineer's possession with a team-colored flash, and leaves a tracer beam that temporarily notifies others of the user's location. Hauling a building will mark the Engineer for death, causing him to take constant mini-crits while carrying said building. This effect lasts as long as the Engineer carries the building, and for a few seconds after the Engineer redeploys it. The weapon also fires unique bolts instead of bullets, which can repair friendly buildings that they are fired at. Note that these shots will only repair the building, and not restock ammo, apply upgrades, or damage attached enemy Sappers. Firing at a teleporter will not repair the other side.
As the downside to these perks, the weapon carries much less ammo than its stock counterpart. This weapon can only have up to 4 shots loaded at a time, and can only carry 16 in reserve, resulting in a maximum of 20 shots. It also cannot deal Headshot Critical hits.
If the user also has the Eureka Effect equipped, the effect of disallowing hauling will override the Rescue Ranger's ability to haul from long range, and so its alt-fire will have no effect.
Since the bolts are projectiles, they can be reflected using a Compression blast. If a Pyro reflects a bolt onto an enemy building, it does regular damage. However, if one is reflected onto a friendly building, it will not repair it.
The Rescue Ranger was originally contributed to the Steam Workshop under the name "Modified Shotgun".
