— The Engineer rescuing a building from far away
|
” |
The Rescue Ranger is a community-created primary weapon for the Engineer. It resembles the normal Shotgun, but with a differently styled magazine tube, longer barrel, and, in place of a scope, a small, illuminated monitor that displays an oscillating sine wave. The monitor is connected to an orange (RED) or yellow (BLU) box at the end of the barrel, fitted with a team-colored light on the front.
While active, the Rescue Ranger can be used to pick up any building in his direct line of sight at the cost of 100 Metal, from a range. Doing so teleports the building into the Engineer's possession instantly with a team-colored flash, leaving behind a tracer beam that temporarily notifies others of the Engineer's location. Instead of bullets, the weapon fires special bolt projectiles (repair claws), which repair 60 health to friendly buildings at a 4:1 health to metal ratio; in effect, healing 4 health consumes 1 unit of metal. Note that bolts only repair buildings, and do not restock ammo, apply upgrades, or damage attached enemy Sappers.
As a downside to these perks, the weapon carries less ammo than its stock counterpart, with a limited clip size of 4 and reserve stock of 16. In addition, the Engineer becomes marked for death when hauling a building with the Rescue Ranger equipped, causing him to take mini-crit damage while doing so and for several seconds after redeploying. This effect applies even if a building is picked up with a Wrench, without using the Rescue Ranger's ability.
The Rescue Ranger has an added cosmetic effect; enemies killed with a bolt, if near a map object, are pinned to it via the bolt. Bolts can also clash with hostile projectiles or throwable items.
As with most projectiles, the Rescue Ranger's bolts can be reflected by the Pyro's compression blast. Reflected bolts deal regular damage to enemy buildings, but have no effect on friendly buildings.
The Rescue Ranger was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Unused content
- There are a set of unused sounds for this weapon associated with buildings teleporting and some kind of charging.
- Some of these sounds are named
rescue_ranger_teleport_send_01andrescue_ranger_teleport_receive_01, suggesting the Rescue Ranger could have had the ability to place buildings from a distance, in addition to picking them up.
- Some of these sounds are named
- Unused text and an unused attribute suggests that earlier versions of this weapon required the user to deal damage to fill up a "Rescue Energy" meter in order to teleport their own buildings.
- The string for this text in the language files is
TF_Rescueand contains the textENERGYwhile the attribute's description isGenerate building rescue energy on damage.
- The string for this text in the language files is
Bugs
- The Engineer achievement Circle the Wagons cannot be earned with the Rescue Ranger, even though it has the ability to repair friendly buildings.
- Reflected bolts from Pyros do not heal friendly buildings.
- Bolts appear to repair redeployed buildings even during reconstruction, when they cannot be repaired.
- The Rescue Ranger allows the Engineer to pick up a building with an enemy Sapper attached. However, while hauled, the HUD indicates the building has a Sapper attached, which appears to damage the building. Yet, since it is impossible to damage a building while it is hauled, the building health continues to regenerate as well. When the player redeploys the building, the Sapper cannot be destroyed, but the building still operates as normal.
- Rescue Ranger kills count as Sentry Gun kills in Engineer Contracts.
- The bolt particle effect appears at the back of the weapon instead of the shotgun's tip.
Trivia
- The amplitude of the sine wave in the monitor is based on the user's Metal count: at 200 Metal, the wave appears at maximum height, while lacking enough Metal to long-range haul a building makes it significantly flatter. Having no Metal renders the wave almost completely flat.
- The effect is achieved using a dedicated material proxy titled
BuildingRescueLevel.
- The effect is achieved using a dedicated material proxy titled
- As with most shotguns in the game, the Rescue Ranger is a left-handed shotgun (with the ejection port being visible on the left hand side of the gun). Despite this, the Engineer holds it right-handed. A right-handed shotgun would have its ejection port on the right side to prevent ejected shells from striking the user.
- The box attatched to the end of the barrel resembles a shotgun suppressor.
