Thank you all for watching! you did enjoy, subscribing is the best way to tell me im doing a good iob! See ya in 6 months! (Hopefully wont take that long again lol)
Engie is my second most played class just behind Heavy, so when I heard him say he'd stick to 1 set for 10 days before switching to another... wow I just- yea I knew he'd have a bad time. Glad Dane sorted him out and showed just how important it is to hot swap between all the tools in your loadout when the time is right.
@@surprisedlobsta8543oh wanna know something else? BTD5 Mobile has the engineer monkey too, and it's super sentry perk has sentries modelled after a Level One TF2 Sentry
41:20 Finally, someone actually talks about the impact of a tele. All the fancy clips are engies doing sentry jumps, winning huge fights, but the tele can literally be the difference between winning and losing. Not having a tele on some maps can basically be equal to DOUBLING your respawn timer, the spawn and the frontlines are just that far.
The point counting over kills with the strange cosmetic makes a lot more sense for engie imo. Engineer is a support class, and as an engineer main my main goal is to use every tool in my kit to help my team win, keeping up teles and dispensers to assist and influence your team is incredibly useful, and you get points for effective use of both of them. If you're playing your support role correctly you can really rack up the points without getting near as many kills as the other top scorers, it feels good.
I appreciate the Spy v Engi in Monkey Banana terms, I never really understood it until now :) I think you failing to reach your point goal is actually an important echo to playing Engi. That sometimes, things will go to shit, and what's important isn't making things work out all the time, but rather just how you deal with that to keep moving forward. This paired with Uncle Dane's thoughts on your reviews is honestly really interesting, I love that you included that, I'll probably watch the full thing later since hearing advice in that way is always super insightful Amazing video, you did great with it, now I'm going to tell everyone I know to subscribe :)
As an engi main I have 1 tip for you when playing as engi. Give up, you can't protect everything. Give up your sentry, give up your base, give up your location. Engi's about being the boot in the door that opens up the previously locked door for you team, don't get pissed at the enemy team for doing their job to stop your team. Just give up trying to be perfect.
Its fascinating to hear your perception of engineer because its made me realize i dont habitually utilize the movement mechanics of tf2 despite it being a huge part of the game for other players. I can barely rocket jump and only do it to get high. IMO, the best parts of playing Engie is the RTS-esque gameplay (finding good spots to set your buildings and using the map to place your teammates in an advantageous position) AND being able to blast fools with a shotgun in first-person while you reel them into your sentry's line of sight.
as a (semi) competent engineer main, i am so proud. it's like watching my kid grow up. you did good, partner! the beginning days were hard to watch, but after ancle dan showed up and showed you the way of the engineer, the following days were SO fun to watch. those clips of the frontier justice gave me so much dopamine despite the fact i wasn't even the one playing xP engie really does require a totally different mindset than power classes (unless you're running FJ and Gunslinger), and after you learned that, you improved as an engineer drastically. i'd recommend this video to anyone looking to get into engineer but is struggling like you were, because it definitely opens your eyes with how engineer is supposed to be played. overall you get 5 mini sentries out of 5 mini sentries, and an official texan certification yippee-ki-yay, partner
In coding, a "'finger" is used to create presets for code, with a hand being a collection of fingers. The answer to how many fingers are in a hand is limitless.
31:01 As a Medic/Engie main, I actually cheered out loud when Zenith said "I should stop locking my loadout". Yes! The variety of this game, its replayability, comes from the ludicrous amount of weapon options available. And as the gameplay shows, a weapon swap can turn the tide of battle.
After watching this and watching uncle danes ultimate battle engineer guide, that video of his almost seems TAILOR MADE for someone like zenith, practically every issue or things he found boring or unappealing about engineer was solved or addressed by that video alone
One of the best tf2 videos I've ever seen, I absolutely loved everything about it, the editing, your beautiful voice, and mostly about the fact that this video has helped me improve playing as engineer.
Engineer is a class where certain loadouts work in certain times. Whenever I play engie i always go through 3-4 different loadouts in a game. It's very helpful to bind loadout to keys so you can get the right loadout in the right time!
Woah Zen. This was an INCREDIBLY well put together video, it's obvious you put WELL over a month into this, I, and all those who watch your stuff thank you for this near-hour presentaton of your journey through the circles of hell.
Honestly that banana tree segment of how the engi is weak to spy is somehow the most accurate depiction of the matchup I’ve seen on RUclips. (Except of course uncle Dane’s content)
Hey Zenith, Your Engineer Video was absolutely phenomenally well done and shows what a LOT of Engineers are like and it's nice to see people show others why so many people complain or ask for help as Engineer. I've played for 9 years now playing as Engineer and honestly you have done well showing the people how Engineer can be hard to play and probably one of the hardest to master. But he's a huge factor in the game and can dominate if you have Proper Game Sense and knowing when to push in and push back. Seriously you have done well and take my hard hat off you to for working so hard and hopefully learning how to play as the small texan hard hat man.
As somebody with an absolutely insane amount of hours as Engineer, I live to play the weirdest battle engineer you will ever see, and if you see me its likely it'll be on 2fort. I use the stock shotgun, stock wrench, and the short circuit, truth is though I don't really have strategies. Its all about positioning, game knowledge, and knowing your enemy and where they are. Pretty much nothing else matters on a map like 2fort
My jaw dropped to the floor seeing the price of a strange gunslinger. Like.. it's literally just pixels on a screen and code, it should not be more potentially expensive than the computer you use it on.
how tf do you only have 26.600 subs the vids are great and hella entertaining and very good edited as well. i dont even play tf2 anymore but these vids give me a sudden urge to play it. Keep up the good work man love the work.
alternative description: uncle dane reskins have always been such a strange case to me. On one hand if you like uncle dane but hate that he doesn't upload much it's nice to have another option to choose from. But on the other hand, reskins usually do very different videos or aren't even that good engineer mains to begin with. And I've always thought it would be neat if cool engie youtubers like engineer gaming had more than "it's engineer gaming. A well known meme". So I took a large number of uncle dane reskins currently available in the web and became the ultimate uncle dane reskin, with videos from: "short review on ninjaneering" to "the ultimate guide to using the wrangler"
I don't know if this has been happening on all servers but lately, a lot of people has been kinda avoiding playing engie even in a payload defense, sometimes having more medics than engies. But i see how it feels, engie REALLY depends on the team to basically protect the nest, and in return engie provides a safe area for your team to either plan ahead or jump back into the fight. Problem is it's pubs, and you don't expect people to work together in pubs. One of the biggest example of this is the one time i was in a payload match, we were defending and no engie in sight. Our soldier starts berating the team for not placing sentries, someone then picked engie and he gets berated again for dying way too many times, failing to realize nobody was even protecting the engie and leaving him to fend for himself.
Rescue ranger has the most satisfying sound on hit in the game and is too damn fun to use as a combat shotty… you aren’t alone in just giving up building to go DM people with it, my strange professional killstreak rescue ranger “The Cooler Pomson” is proof of my just wanting to kill people with the dumb thing lol
I honestly picked up TF2 specifically because I watched ALL of Uncle Dane's videos like 3 times over, lol. He's not my most played class right now, but one of my most effective. I'm surprised how aggressive he's really able to be played, even without Lv3 sentries. Lv2s are really good on thier own. I also play on controller so he's easy. Putting his building binds on the D-pad was really handy.
@@psy-fi64 I've grown up on controller and consoles so it's literally just because I'm so used to it that keyboard and mouse feels like rocket science. And back in my Cod days I turned off aim assist cuz it felt better. So all the downsides of playing controller on TF2 I've already been used to for years. You do have to use Steam's controller support to fix the god awful default sensitivity TF2 uses, but other than that it's completely fine.
When the mantis lords/sisters of battle theme started playing at around 23:22, i just immediately forgot everything else in my brain that was important to do and instead replaced with "ooh, hollow knight, neuron activated'
ah! pee surprise!'s speech had me heaving, so funny. I guess the rest of the video was cool to. As someone who mains engie, seeing you attempt to master him gave me flashbacks to when I was properly learning the class.
The "Uncle Dane" is a soft-spoken, sentry main from Bee Cave, Texas, USA with an interest in all mechanical things. He specializes in constructing and maintaining Buildings that provide support to his team, rather than fighting at the front lines, making him the most suitable for defense. The *Ankle Pain's* various gadgets include the Sentry Gun, an automated turret that fires at any enemy in range, the Dispenser, a device that restores the health and ammunition of nearby teammates, and Teleporters that quickly transport players from point A to point B. Because the "Uncle Dane's" ingenious devices are under constant threat from explosives and devious enemy MrSwipez1, a good "Uncle" must keep his gear under a watchful eye and under repair with his Wrench at all times. When the Uncle Dane needs to get his hands dirty, his trio of generic yet capable weapons, along with the assistance of his helpful hardware, make him more than capable of holding his own in a fight. If need be, the Dane can even pick up and haul constructed buildings to redeploy them in more favorable locations. While usually viewed as a defensive class, the Uncle has a selection of high-tech weapons that allow him to destroy projectiles or to build faster-deploying, less damaging Sentry Guns, which give him great utility at the front lines too. His Teleporters are also a key point to both the offensive and defensive team's success, allowing slower, heavier classes to reach the front-lines quicker. The Uncle Dane is voiced by the Engineer from Team Fort 2 by Valve in the game Team Four Trees 2, and by "Dane Kevin Cook" in the short film Perish Time.
Swift water is one of my favorite maps in the game specially because of how easy it can be to just sneak behind them enemy team as engi Also heavy can be killed in like 3 shots from the panic attack

(Edit): Now having finished watching the video? Yes, *driven*.
19:05 The thing about engineer is you’re an easy target for cheeky pyros, demos, soldiers, and scouts who’ve jumped behind to fuck with your team. You’re not a medic with a pocket to protect you, you’re not cloaked like a spy or fast like a scout, and you’re not able to defend yourself quite like the other classes. Sometimes this just happens. It helps to pay attention and alert your team.
Not entirely, Pyros lack range you have and dropping a quick sentry and pulling out your pistol can force them to waste time on your sentry letting you easily put them in shotgun kill range. Demo and Soldier will have taken explosive damage and be within 2-shot range which is enough to make the pistol threatening. Buildings can be used to block their shots as well. Scout is all about landing your shots, since you don't need to track them or predict it comes down to engagement as a quick sentry drop is incredibly threatening at long range where Scout needs to close the gap.
I cannot believe you referenced kirby air ride, me and my sibling used to play that all the time on the game cube together. I remember going in the volcano all the time for fun.
i was gonna write a whole book wondering why youtube didint recommended me your videos because of 1. 2. 3. 4. so im just gonna say that you explaining why you love the hidden gem of an anime that is your profile picture brought my faith in humanity back for these 15 minutes. also, cool that i can relax watching a tf2 video for once.
I think i just learned something new about rescue ranger. You take it at the start of the game and switch when you notice there is too many spies or enemies that focus you. Something i didnt realise even after watching nearly all Uncle Dane videos. Thanks non-engineer main.
the most satisfying class for me to play by far is the spy. Sometimes you just back stab the whole team. And then there are those other times when you drive certain players so paranoid and angry that they leave the game :DDD
24:19 "When my team isn't good, I'm fucked." Yeah, this is playing a medic in a nutshell. If my team is good, we're pushing, I'm preventing death through overheals, dropping fat ubers one after another, and helping maintain a snowball effect. When my team isn't good, I have to try to body block spies from trickstabbing my tunnel visioning heavy (which gets me sniped), pyros leisurely stroll up to us from flanks, and I'd have to camp with the engie in the rear just to avoid losing the precious uber I've painstakingly built, and if I do build an uber, the Trolldier will whine that I didn't put it on him.
Valve "don't worry we're working on the bot problem" The community and me "what do you mean your still working on it this problem has been here for bloody months now"
43:26 I love how you use KH music, The World That Never Was has some lowkey banging background music :P Edit: Watching the rest of the video, seeing u got 13k points.... Org. 13 would be proud of you
Engineer is a support class for a reason. He’s strongest bringing up the rear, maybe holding a point. A lvl 2 is much better than a lvl 1 sentry, but a lvl 3 is literally the exact same as a lvl 2… but with rockets. Priority should be holding strategic areas with lvl 2 or higher usually
25:19 I miss the old team scramble days. You'd get two steamrolls, and then the teams would be mixed up and you'd usually have a couple of smoother games. It's like eating a banana. A solid banana can lead to choking and a bad time for all involved. But when you put the banana in a blender, you get a cool smoothie that goes down nicely. Unless the game and/or banana has a tryhard pubstomper and/or banana peeling knife inside.

Give up, you can't protect everything. Give up your sentry, give up your base, give up your location. Engi's about being the boot in the door that opens up the previously locked door for you team, don't get pissed at the enemy team for doing their job to stop your team.

21:23 you shuold have showed a picture of a bannana farm because its bloons
I just finished watching you Soldier 30 day challenge video and immediately saw this. I'm really loving your content, man. You're awesome!
19:05 The thing about engineer is you’re an easy target for cheeky pyros, demos, soldiers, and scouts who’ve jumped behind to fuck with your team. You’re not a medic with a pocket to protect you, you’re not cloaked like a spy or fast like a scout, and you’re not able to defend yourself quite like the other classes. Sometimes this just happens. It helps to pay attention and alert your team.
Not entirely, Pyros lack range you have and dropping a quick sentry and pulling out your pistol can force them to waste time on your sentry letting you easily put them in shotgun kill range.
Demo and Soldier will have taken explosive damage and be within 2-shot range which is enough to make the pistol threatening. Buildings can be used to block their shots as well.
Scout is all about landing your shots, since you don't need to track them or predict it comes down to engagement as a quick sentry drop is incredibly threatening at long range where Scout needs to close the gap.
i'm so sorry you had to go through the torture that is the engineer class for a whole month, hope you get better.
Broskie as a true Texan I fucking loved that accent that was amazing lol
Engineer gaming.
I cannot believe you referenced kirby air ride, me and my sibling used to play that all the time on the game cube together. I remember going in the volcano all the time for fun.
I used to love the area under the woods with the little figurines. My sister and i would sit around in free ride for hours playing
i was gonna write a whole book wondering why youtube didint recommended me your videos because of 1. 2. 3. 4. so im just gonna say that you explaining why you love the hidden gem of an anime that is your profile picture brought my faith in humanity back for these 15 minutes. also, cool that i can relax watching a tf2 video for once.
The BIG BLUNGUS ref at 13:51 fucking got me 😂
16:58 OmG kSi reference!1!!1
26:41 “I contacted the best engineer main”
First video:
“I main pyro now”
Yo I can already tell that this video is gonna be sick af
“Abdldbla ARBY’S SANDWICH Abdldbla”
Has got to be my favorite quote
zenith has harnessed the engineer gaming essence
I think i just learned something new about rescue ranger. You take it at the start of the game and switch when you notice there is too many spies or enemies that focus you. Something i didnt realise even after watching nearly all Uncle Dane videos. Thanks non-engineer main.
the most satisfying class for me to play by far is the spy. Sometimes you just back stab the whole team. And then there are those other times when you drive certain players so paranoid and angry that they leave the game :DDD
24:19 "When my team isn't good, I'm fucked." Yeah, this is playing a medic in a nutshell. If my team is good, we're pushing, I'm preventing death through overheals, dropping fat ubers one after another, and helping maintain a snowball effect. When my team isn't good, I have to try to body block spies from trickstabbing my tunnel visioning heavy (which gets me sniped), pyros leisurely stroll up to us from flanks, and I'd have to camp with the engie in the rear just to avoid losing the precious uber I've painstakingly built, and if I do build an uber, the Trolldier will whine that I didn't put it on him.
Next challenge:play medic for month.
Only engineer in Casual: damn
Engineer in Class Wars: GOOD GOD
now play as hoovy for 30 days
"and engineer is the worst class"
Uncle Dane: *laughs*
How do you only have 54 hours in spy come on man. You have an anime profile picture. You needed at least get those numbers up to a 100.
Valve "don't worry we're working on the bot problem"
The community and me "what do you mean your still working on it this problem has been here for bloody months now"
I think you should play as Medic for a month if you're continuing this series
Hey I play with that pyro from 18:49 and they like to use the thermal thruster to get to the backines.
so like the wrangler?

43:26 I love how you use KH music, The World That Never Was has some lowkey banging background music :P

Engineer gaming
4:52 to 5:05 this song is from Sonic Adventure 1 Called; "A song that keeps us on the movr"
pls do 30 days heavy i do anything
Make a video about you doing 100 push-ups
Engineer is a support class for a reason. He’s strongest bringing up the rear, maybe holding a point. A lvl 2 is much better than a lvl 1 sentry, but a lvl 3 is literally the exact same as a lvl 2… but with rockets. Priority should be holding strategic areas with lvl 2 or higher usually
where the weed sentry
Love the City of Tears music at 1:30; ah, chief's kiss. Beautiful. No matter the context.
the thick of it?
Holy crap Lois KSI’s in TF2!
25:19 I miss the old team scramble days. You'd get two steamrolls, and then the teams would be mixed up and you'd usually have a couple of smoother games.
It's like eating a banana. A solid banana can lead to choking and a bad time for all involved. But when you put the banana in a blender, you get a cool smoothie that goes down nicely. Unless the game and/or banana has a tryhard pubstomper and/or banana peeling knife inside.
Zenith spent 30 days trying to summon Uncle Dane
0:45 YOU PLAYED PYRO FOR MORE THAN A MINUTE YOU POOR SOUL 😢
