I read that someone suggested a gun replacement that acts as a laser pointer. Whenever switched to, it makes your sentry go into "manual fire" mode, where you point and click at an area for your sentry to fire at. Makes it easier to spycheck and "snipe" other players.

If the engineer would get to replace a single building in his equipment, what slot would be replaced? Would he just replace the toolbox with normal sentryguns for a differently shaped toolbox with freezeray sentries?

[Sensei]

Maybe a sentry that detects spies? It can only be as powerful as the normal L1 sentry, and upgrades increase range rather than firepower.

[Duke 2.0]

 An idea: The Multipurpose Sentry. The PDA would open the spy disguise menu, only instead of disguising as the opponent you make a sentry with the classes main weapon. It would be slightly tweaked to be weaker and have longer cooldown/fire times, but it would be interesting to have the utility of placing whatever the heck you want. Sniper Rifle turrets would target the torso and would not charge. Rocket turrets would fire 4 and have to reload them all before being able to fire again, making a massive opening to attack. Minigun turret would also have to rev up, so people who can duck around corners will have a field day with them. Pyro turrets would not change much, their range being their downfall.

 Upgradeable? Perhaps. Mayhaps at level 1 they are much weaker than the original weapon and at level 3 they are the same?

I always imagined a flamethrower sentry. It'd have pretty close range, sure, but each upgrade would increase it's ammo capacity rather than damage/attack speed. Level 3 upgrade would let it be able to detect spies if you also have a special Dispenser up.

Also, the "Swiss Army Sentry," amirite?

[dragnar]

What about the shotgun? There have been a lot of suggestions for the toolbox, but nothing for it. How about a gun that repairs buildings at range?

[Tradanbattlan]

Hmm. A metal shooter? It does minimal damage, but can be used to both repair, upgrade and give other engineers metal from a range. I like.

[Sensei]

How about something that lets Engineers hijack enemy buildings?

Or maybe just land mines?

That is a great idea.

[Cheeetar]

I think that was suggested by that guy at Pentadact.

[Jreengus]

Any sentry gun that can detect spies seems like a terrible idea. It would make spying ridiculously difficult.

I really don't want to see any changes to any of the buildings, except for one thing: If the engineer taunts with the PDA out it should make the sentry do a taunt.

[Myroc]

Why not make it a dispenser replacement then? Some sort of beacon that highlights cloaked or disguised spies in the area? You forgo the luxury of easily renewable metal, health and ammo for a large resistance against sappers.

Note: Sentries should not fire at cloaked/disguised spies that are detected. That would still be overpowered.

[Jreengus]

Depending on the range that could be even worse! The spy is very hit and miss as it is and engies are more resistant to them than any other class bar the pyro. The last thing spies need is additional difficulty.

What?

[Jreengus]

What are you whating at? care to be more specific and I shall elaborate.
