An invaluable defense tool, the '''Engineer''''s sentries, dispensers, and teleporters are very helpful to defend a point or cart. On offense, the Engineer is able to consolidate the ground gained by his team, and assist them in getting to the battle faster.

==6v6==
{{main|Engineer (6v6)}}

In 6v6, the Engineer is considered an [[offclass]]. Most often used on the map [[cp_gravelpit]], the Engineer is only used to defend last on most maps.
The main purpose of the Engineer and his sentry in [[6v6]] is to soak up damage and waste uber to let his team pop later. Occasionally, it may get a few kills as well, but for the most part the engineer waits for his sentry to die, then switches to his main class to get cleanup frags.
It is important to note that a well-placed Sentry can prevent the other team from pushing in with a Kritzkrieg, as they will not be invulnerable and the Engineer's Sentry will only take base damage from critical hits.

==Highlander==
{{main|Engineer (Highlander)}}

The Engineer's main job in [[Highlander]] is to defend points and deny areas to the other team. Through the use of the Sentry Gun, the Engineer is easily able to defend and stall for a point in time. However, Highlander presents a new risk in the form of the [[Spy]], whose Sapper can destroy the Engineer's buildings. The Engineer can also use such tools as The Wrangler and The Gunslinger to be more effective on offense or to assist in defense. The Engineer is also often used to push the cart on Payload maps.

|description = The '''Shotgun''' is the default weapon for Engineer. Most engineers will stick to this shotgun for its reliability. Unlike other shotguns, the "stock" Shotgun has a clip large enough to kill three enemies without stored crits, allowing Engineers to engage multiple enemies at once in favorable circumstances. Additionally, the Shotgun's large clip doesn't punish engineers for missing a few shots.

The Frontier Justice is useful when the Engineer stays away from large fights and sticks to one-on-one encounters, where the high burst-damage and short clip are most effective. The weapon is most commonly seen in [[King of the Hill]] maps, though overall most Engineers prefer a larger clip and don't use it in competitive play.

|description = The '''Widowmaker''' is a shotgun that consumes metal on firing it and gains metal for damage done to an enemy. It costs 30 Metal per shot, but the weapon never reloads (It is instantly "reloaded" by picking up metal). The Widowmaker is rarely seen in competitive play because it restricts mid-range spamming and heavily punishes missing enemies. Engineers rely heavily on their sentries, so they can't take the risk of using up all their metal for a bit of damage. Ideally, the weapon could be used as a source of metal by dealing more than 30 damage with every shot, allowing the Engineer effectively infinite metal, but this process can be slow and risky because of the proximity to enemies required for that much damage.

The futher away a target is, the less of the Cloak or Über is drained. It is banned in all leagues because competitive Team Fortress 2 revolves around ÜberCharge advantages and the Pomson 6000 actively undermines this by allowing an Engineer to deplete an opposing ÜberCharge quickly and outside of normal league gameplay (killing the enemy Medic).

For the cost of 100 metal, an Engineer can use the secondary attack (default MOUSE2) on his buildings to instantly pick them up and haul them. While carrying buildings, the Engineer takes mini-crit damage. Engineers use the Rescue Ranger, with growing popularity, with level 3 sentries to kite ubers and heal buildings from a safe distance. This weapon allows the Engineer to stop turtling a nest and move the buildings to more useful, spread-out locations to aid his team more efficiently.

|description = The '''Panic Attack''' is a community-created primary weapon for the Engineer, and a secondary weapon for the [[Soldier]], [[Pyro]], and [[Heavy]].
The Panic Attack starts with 0 rounds in its magazine. Upon pressing and holding down primary fire, the player will begin loading shells into the magazine port, and will continue to do so as long as primary fire is held down. Upon releasing, the player will fire all shots one-by-one. Up to four shells can be loaded and fired in this fashion. The Panic Attack will automatically fire all the shots in the barrel if the player attempts to load in more than 4 shells. Compared to the stock Shotgun, the weapon loads 50% faster and increases speed switch by 50%. In addition, as the user's health decreases, the weapon's firing rate and spread both increase, firing faster shots at lower accuracy when at low health.

It is extremely useful at holding a point on a [[Payload]] map, however it will be much easier for you to be backstabbed since you'll have to focus more. The Wrangler doubles the firing speed of the sentry, and has a slight "aim-assist" that locks the sentry's aim to the enemy's chest, but at longer ranges, there is significant bullet spread, although there is no damage falloff. Upon death, a wrangled sentry will be protected for 3 seconds but also disabled, similar with switching off the wrangler.

It will usually be used when attacking on a [[Payload]] map or in a [[5CP]] and [[KOTH]], since you will constantly be pushing the cart / moving back and forth on the control points, and will rarely need to control the same place for a long period of time.

Medic

2018-01-04T07:32:26Z

Sanaralerx: /* Primary */ update

[[File:MedicIcon.png|200px|right|link=http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Medic]]
The Medic is a maniacal German scientist who is capable of healing his teammates and making them invulnerable for short periods of time. In [[6v6]], the Medic makes up a key component of the combo, along with the pocket [[Soldier]]. In [[Highlander]], the combo usually consists of a Medic, [[Heavy]], and [[Demoman]]. As the Medic does not need to focus on aim, Medics generally act as [[callers]] for their teams. However, in higher-level play, Medics who maincall aren't as common, mostly because they aren't as aware of the other team's position. A [[Demoman]] or [[Heavy]] may serve as a more accurate caller. Medic duties generally include keeping the team fully buffed, timing and leading pushes, and tracking enemy Übers. Skills required from a Medic differ from division to division. Generally, Medics are expected to die less, heal hurt teammates, and Über at the appropriate times. At higher levels, Medics who can surf, position themselves well, and defend themselves with their primary and melee are more common.

==6v6==
{{main|Medic (6v6)}}

In [[6v6]] there is a restriction of 1 Medic per team.

The '''Medic''' is a vital part of any [[6v6]] team, with his ability to use ÜberCharges or KritzCharges on teammates for pushes from point to point or for saving teammates. Due to this, he is usually the most targeted player by the enemy team. One of the two soldiers, known as the pocket, is supposed to protect the medic. If a team loses a Medic they are posed with a large disadvantage of no heals, and may be pushed back to another point or even lose the game. As the Medics ÜberCharge is an important part of a match, they will usually be protected well by the pocket [[Soldier]] - In some cases the Medic may have to leave his teammates while he gets a health pack. Medics will usually communicate their ÜberCharge percentage as well as their position to their team so they can prepare pushes and defenses, and be ready for an enemy push. Because of the importance of the ÜberCharge, the common phrase ''''Pop it, don't drop it'''' is used.

In [[6v6]] the more commonly used Medi Guns are the stock [http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Medigun Medigun] and the [http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Kritzkrieg Kritzkrieg], but in [[ESEA]] the [http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Vaccinator Vaccinator] is also allowed. Most Medics usually use the default Medi Gun or the Kritzkrieg. The Quick-Fix was occasionally used before the July 11, 2013 patch which buffed it. As a result of the buff, it has been banned in ESEA since Season 15. The Vaccinator is rarely used. Some Medics will switch Medi Gun depending on the situation, sometimes surprising enemies with a KritzCharge usually done with the [[Demoman]] for maximum damage output.

'''Famous 6v6 Medics include:'''
* [[Mirelin]] - Previously in [[Broder]] ([[ETF2L]])
* [[F2]] - Previously in [[Epsilon eSports]] ([[ETF2L]])
* [[Shade]] - [[froyotech]] ([[ESEA]])
* [[Whiteglow]] - [[Last Man Standing]], msh ([[ETF2L]])
* [[Bonobo]] - [[Team Immunity]] ([[ozfortress]])
* [[Harbleu]] - [[Classic Mixup]] ([[ESEA]])
* [[Byte]] - ([[ETF2L]])
* [[Pyyyour]] - ([[ESEA]])
* [[KnoxXx]] - Previously in [[Epsilon eSports]] ([[ETF2L]])

==Highlander==
{{main|Medic (Highlander)}}

The Medic has nearly the same role as he does in 6v6; healing his teammates and using his ÜberCharges to turn the tide of a match. Instead of a soldier, the medic has a heavy and/or demoman as his pocket.

For every 10% of ÜberCharge that the Medic has, the Overdose will grant a 2% movement bonus. At full ÜberCharge, the medic moves at 127% movement speed, which is second only to the Scout, moving at 133%.

It shoots a large syringe, and only one at a time. It is the worst option for self-defense and as such should almost never be used in life or death situations, and the Medic should instead resort to his melee. The large syringes that the Crusader's Crossbow fires, however, are very unique and can allow for very clutch moments if the Medic knows how to aim properly. The large syringes do damage based on distance traveled (reverse falloff), up to 75 damage at maximum range. However, if the Medic hits a teammate, the damage that would have been dealt will turn into health. The health scale is much larger however, with the minimum health able to be received is 75, and the maximum 150. The healing mechanic can provide teammates with instant healing, and often times can save a teammates life. Healing a teammate with the Crusader's Crossbow builds ÜberCharge upon hit. The Crusader's Crossbow eventually got buffed so that it passively reloads, even if you instantly switch to another weapon.

However, whenever a player is hit with a Blutsauger needle, the Medic will get 3 additional health. The drawback is that the Medic's passive regen is decreased by 2 HP/second. This means that, instead of regenerating 3 health after being damaged, the Medic will only be given 1 health back, up to a maximum of 4 HP/second, instead of the default maximum of 6 HP/second.

The Medi Gun heals at 24 health per second. If a patient has not taken damage for 10 seconds, the heal rate will increase linearly with time up to a maximum of 72 heal per second at 15 seconds. Newly spawned teammates will also be healed at 72 health per second.

The invulnerability ÜberCharge is replaced by a charge bestowing the patient with a 100% critical chance. Due to this fast charge rate, the Kritzkrieg is usually used when both Medics die within close timing (to get an advantage in ÜberCharge) or on small maps, such as King of the Hill.

The Quick-Fix isn't used very often in competitive play. It's mostly used in times where the server's map time is too low to build a normal ÜberCharge. It is most-commonly used on King of the Hill maps when the team is pinched for time, and the Medic needs to deliver heals to the point quickly. It can no longer be used on Payload and Capture Point maps for clutch last-minute plays to fling the Medic toward the desired capture point to stall for time or capture a point due to the Tough Break Update.

|description = The '''Vaccinator''' is one of the most interesting secondaries for the Medic. It gives an incredibly slow overheal (66% slower), with four distinct Übers that each last two seconds. You can access one, two, three, or all four Übers at once, ÜberCharging the Medic and his patient for two, four, six, or the full eight seconds. With The Vaccinator, you can build Über in just ten seconds. Its Über allows the Medic and his healtarget to block 75% of any incoming damage of the selected damage type as well as substantially less damage from crits. If the patient takes damage from the selected type of attack, a small percentage of health will go to the Medic during the Über, healing him for the duration of the Über. Matching the type of incoming damage will also build über faster. The Vaccinator has been used mostly on Control Point maps, and is perfect for blocking and withstanding an enemy Medic's Über while defending a last Control Point. After blocking the enemy Medic's incoming Über, the Medic can then go back into spawn and switch out for a different Medigun, and begin building for a more even Über advantage. The Vaccinator is used very rarely even in comparison to the Quick-Fix.

Scout

2018-01-04T06:17:12Z

Sanaralerx: slight changes. Someone can add something useful to the SOAS because I don't know much about it

[[File:ScoutIcon.png|200px|right|link=http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Scout]]

The '''Scout''' has the greatest mobility of all the TF2 classes; two jumps and an impressive 133% movement speed makes him extremely difficult to track down and even to kill once he is found. The Scout carries a [[Scattergun]], which can deal tremendous damage to an opponent in close quarters. With such high movement speed, it isn't difficult to get close to people; the only trick is staying alive once at a close range. The Scout has only 125 base health, tied for the least out of all the classes along with the [[Engineer]], [[Sniper]] and [[Spy]].

==6v6==
{{main|Scout (6v6)}}

The Scout is a highly mobile "clean up" class, used to capture points and move in and out of fights to deal and avoid as much damage as possible. In standard 6v6 play, a team will have 2 Scouts. When playing this class, one will be expected to successfully capture points, control the [[Glossary#Flank|flank]], and be able to clean up the damage put out by heavy classes ([[Soldier]] and [[Demoman]]). Generally speaking, a Scout will have a high number of kills and a moderate amount of damage - diving in to kill already damaged players is the primary cause of this. Scouts are also often the best candidates for off-classing, depending on the situation. The secret to the Scout class is going into a fight and catching enemies unaware. The Scout is usually more expendable than the other classes, excluding the [[Roaming Soldier]].

Some teams like to assign roles to their scouts to keep everyone coordinated. Having a "passive" Scout and an "aggressive" Scout on the team keeps inexperienced players from getting out of position (either resulting in death from aggression or missed opportunities from passiveness). The "passive" Scout job is roughly to protect the Demoman and help the Medic build Über when an opportunity arises. While he still wants to help out his fellow Scout on the flank and clean up damage, protecting the [[Demoman]] is his main objective. When there are stalemate situations in a match, the passive Scout is the one that will build the Medic's ÜberCharge using his [[Boston Basher]]. The aggressive Scout usually goes for kills and high damage on the flank. If a player is weak, he will chase that player down and kill him. The problem with this role-oriented approach is that when a Scout is smart enough to know when to be passive and when to be aggressive, it is more efficient for him to switch roles when a situation calls for it, rather than getting stuck in a mindset that can be very detrimental to his team. Most high-level teams avoid this passive versus aggressive assignment system, but it can help teams that lack the coordination and game sense.

==Highlander==
{{main|Scout (Highlander)}}
The Scout's role is severely diminished in Highlander, as his fragging capabilities are fairly limited by full-time high-damage per second classes, such as the Heavy or the Engineer. Because of this, the Scout is used often more as a utility class, helping the team by being on the flank, capturing points and objectives, and sometimes following up on damage dealt by the combo. A scout can also be used to focus classes, which can cause large problems for your team, such as sniper. Most Payload and Attack/Defend maps can greatly limit the Scout's usefulness due to the map's tendency to clump everyone together, but on certain King of the Hill maps, a good scout can score a high amount of points, due to a large amount of flanking routes, which are available.

Highlander leagues allow a greater variety of scout unlocks than 6v6 leagues do, which allows for interesting strategies with unlocks, like Mad Milk and Bonk! Atomic Punch. The scout's role can be enhanced by any of these, leading to be a more supportive class that splashes Mad Milk during pushes, or a pick/harassment class that runs to enemy spawn with Bonk! As long as the Scout plays smart and stays alive, opportunities to flank and fight directly come up just like in 6v6.

|ugc4s = always
|6s = always
|ugchl = always
|etf2lhl = always
|description = The stock '''Scattergun''' is by far the most widely used primary weapon for the scout in Competitive Play. Due to the weapon's high clip size and damage output at mid-close range, the Scattergun gives the user a high and reliable damage output.
}}
{{Class Weapon Table Row

|ugc4s = true
|6s = true
|ugchl = true
|etf2lhl = true
|description = The '''Force-A-Nature''' (often abbreviated to '''FaN''') is sparsely used in most formats but can sometimes be seen in [[Highlander]], where a scout's damage capability is less important to the team. The weapon's unique knockback ability can allow for more effective positioning, allowing the Scout to jump to higher places or push away enemies; but ultimately the weapon suffers from inconsistent damage because of its very small clip size, and because its knockback sends enemies out of the Scout's range.
}}
{{Class Weapon Table Row
|weaponname = Shortstop
|ugc4s = true
|6s = true
|ugchl = true
|etf2lhl = true
|description = The '''Shortstop''' only has 4 shots per clip but reloads all shots at once, and has tighter weapon spread making it more accurate at long range. It also has a rarely useful melee-ranged knockback ability. While the Shortstop fires twice as fast as the default Scattergun, it takes thrice the time to reload. However, the weapon's biggest downfall is in its reduced pellet size (4 pellets per shot); resulting in marginally less damage at close ranges.

|ugc4s = true
|6s = false
|ugchl = false
|etf2lhl = true
|description = The '''Soda Popper''' is similar to the FaN with an increased fire rate and two shot clip, but it also gives five extra jumps upon activating its 'Hype' mechanic, and faster reloading. The additional mobility granted by Hype makes the scout extremely difficult to hit for projectile based classes ([[Soldier]] and [[Demoman]]), and the quicker shooting and reloading makes Scout deal more damage both in the short-term and long-term, so to give other classes a balanced chance to kill Scout, the Soda Popper remains banned.

|description = The '''Baby Face's Blaster''' is arguably the weakest Scout primary. It allows the Scout build a "Boost" meter when he deals damage in order to move much faster, in exchange for moving 10% slower by default and a smaller clip size. However, taking damage or double jumping lowers Boost, which forces the user to play extremely passively in order to make use of the weapon's only upside. This can make for a very difficult and overall less effective playstyle.

|description = The '''Back Scatter''' is typically ignored by most players primarily due to its single strength, mini-crits from behind, not occurring enough to outweigh its weaknesses, lower clip size and accuracy.

After the effects end you are slowed for 5 seconds based on damage taken. It is most often used in Highlander (9v9) to flank or get behind the enemy team in situations where the scout would otherwise be having trouble doing work. Bonk can also be used to distract the enemy team and give the other members of your team an opening to push or get an advantage. Bonk is also great distracting a sentry gun from the rest of your team when you wish to try to attack a point without uber, however risky.
