Well, that will make that "ninjaneer" strategy work much better.
Interesting to note, that since the new sentry does half damage, you are much less likely to have it get kills so that when it dies you get revenge crits with the frontier justice.

Hmmm, it will take field testing to see how effective this new sentry is. Worth noting that by using the wrangler it does normal damage for a sentry. It replaces the pistol??? What's the point of having two melee weapons?

Also shame you can't use the glove without the new sentry. Plus 25 health would be worth dropping the pistol.

I doubt it will trigger the Frontier Justice at all.
I wonder if we can deploy more than one of them?

WHY DID YOU HAVE ME KICK THEM WTF I DID NOT WANT TO BE SHOT AT.
I dunno, you guys have survived Thomas the tank engine, golems, zombies, nuclear explosions, laser whales, and being on the same team as ragnarock.  I don't think something as tame as a world ending rain of lava will even slow you guys down.

Interestingly, as of this writing the blog hasn't updated.

We're also still missing a promised melee weapon from the Day 3 blog post (the Gunslinger is, apparently, a pistol unlock), but we've got our requisite 3 items. So, what's going on?

It's a melee weapon. You punch people with it.

From the text, it seems you can choose to drop the combat sentry, but that doesn't mean you lose your other buildings... Might keep the limit of sentries to 1, but it doesn't make your wrench useless to upgrade other buildings.

And not just that; all 3 are Payload! Well, to be fair, one of them is PLR, but still.

I must say that I prefer the normal update format to the Engy update's format. Though, it does fit better with the end of Loose Canon, where the Engy is about to make his own unlocks.

[EDIT:] Also, I don't know what other people are talking about. Gunslinger replaces the wrench.

Hmmm they changed it, that definitely said pistol before. Because I double checked after thinking I'd got it wrong when I read pistol.

Anyhow the three new weapons look like they will make a nice combo, drop the gun control it to shoot people at double speed and then when it is destroyed go to town with the crits.

Of course this assumes that you enemies don't just shoot you instead of the gun.

Oh... They did change it. It said it replaced the pistol!
The link to the moveable sentry also disappeared.

It's a sad sad buildable update.... with all the options they had... -_-

Hell, even the fake engie update was better than this.

Eh, The Wrangler kind of took the place of a suggestion for a replacement Sentry I had seen which let the Engy control it.

The Gunslinger really will go well with the Wrangler.

I want to see the lab pool in Thunder Mountain.
