The Wrangler is an unlockable Pistol replacement for the Engineer. It is part of the Engineer Update and was announced on Day 2.
While selected, it allows the Engineer to take control of his Sentry Gun's aim from any distance, and the Sentry stops aiming automatically. When the Engineer takes control, a laser sight is emitted from the Sentry, used to aid the Engineer in aiming where the gun will fire, but also has the effect of allowing enemies to quickly ascertain where the sentry is located.
The Wrangler also gives the Sentry a shield that absorbs 66% of incoming damage, doubles the gun's firing rate, and increases the missile launch rate at level 3. When switching to another weapon away from the Wrangler, the Sentry is left defenseless for 3 seconds, after which time it will resume normal operation.
The left mouse button fires the bullets, while the right mouse button fires rockets.
