Team Fortress Classic Hints
How can I stand up for myself against tougher classes?
1 of 6: The engineer usually hides behind his sentry guns and lets them do all of the work.
2 of 6: Sometimes he gets caught out in the open, away from his mechanical defenses, so he needs to stick up for himself.
3 of 6: He has some very important weapons.
4 of 6: The first is his laser gun. It's small and rapid but only somewhat useful. Basically, use the laser gun to distract an enemy or "chip away" at an enemy's armor or health. Chances are you will end up changing to a bigger weapon once the enemy starts after you.
5 of 6: The second important weapon is the double-barrel shotgun he carries. The double-barrel shotgun is powerful no matter what class uses it. With the engineer, though, it is his most powerful handheld weapon. Use this weapon to really damage enemies.
6 of 6: The third weapon is the trigger grenade. This can really even things up when being chased by some of the heavier classes. The trigger grenade sets off whatever explosive ammunition is being carried by your enemies. Hence, soldiers and demomen are at a real disadvantage when in the vicinity of a trigger grenade's effects.
