I am very satisfied with the new weapons, I haven't gotten the other wrench yet but the Gunslinger is fucking awesome.

the other wrench looks cool but has pretty bad stats...
I like how the gunslinger looks but I think as of now it is underpowered.
I like the FJ but I think they could of had better stats...oh well.

Combat sentrying is awesome, I get several kills with it. Plus, it proved to me how effective it works with the Frontier Justice. I played on granary, very cool!!

Mini sentries are overpowered. They see you from forever away and it's impossible to shoot them. They are too small and have too much heath, especially when they are getting set up. Everything else is perfect though.

But you can't repair them, and they eventually run out of ammo.

You can give them more ammo. :wink:

IDK how I feel about mini sentries, as every other class they feel OP, but once I got them myself as engineer, I realised that once there's more than 1 person the sentry has to deal with, it's going to go down quickly!

To be honest, the wrangler is the biggest problem. It's not bad for some maps, but there's a problem with it in theory and in some maps in particular. For example, the infinite sentry range in gravelpit is ridiculously OP and causes there to be no way for offensive teams to push onto capture point C. Plus, with the perfect accuracy and the infinite range, it completely nullifies the point of being a sniper, especially with the blowback and huge damage output!

There is nothing wrong with the range but the accuracy is way to good. The accuracy should be something like the Heavy's gatling gun, how it spreads out randomly and is only good at close range.

Nullifies the point of being a sniper? What?

A sniper is:
1. Able to move around.
2. Has a set of 3 weapons.
3. Charges up a ONE SHOT RIFLE that does critical hits on head shots.
4. Is controlled by the player.
5. Can quickly move from one stop to another, giving the opportunity to not just take out players quick and easy, but buildings.

I think you're overreacting.
