      idk about upward, but the badlands shithouse got it's name from basically being a really small, claustrophobic area that is 'shit' to be in because if you get caught in it youre basically guaranteed to die or take a lot of damage
      maybe it has the same idea in upward too

    I'd like to express my appreciation towards the amount of time and effort that you put into your videos, compared to almost any other CZcams channel that I know. The quality of directing and editing here is amazing, and it really feels like you make these videos out of genuine joy and care for the subjects that you cover. So many channels attempt to minmax their view counts and profits by pumping out short, easy-to-make videos, which results in sub-par experiences for the viewers, but when it comes to your channel, I completely enjoy every single aspect of the videos, and feel like I'm getting way more than expected for my time spent on this channel. Please keep up the amazing work, so hopefully more channels are inspired by this one.

    I had an weird idea. What if when placing a sneaky mini you put it backwards? imagine this
    Normally: 1. Enemy enters the mini's fov 2. Mini fires 3. Enemy notices this 4. Enemy backs up to safety 5. Enemy takes care of the sentry, end of scene
    Rotated: 1. Enemy enters fov 2. Mini starts to rotate 3. Enemy continues unaware of sentry 4. Sentry fires 5. Enemy has now no place to hide and hopefully will fall to the sentry.
    Sure its unreliable and extremely situational but maybe just something fun to test.

    • @puskajussi37
      @puskajussi37 Před 7 lety +3

      I know. Not much better but if you held the sentry still with the wrangler it doesn't make the noise.

    • @Chr0n0s38
      @Chr0n0s38 Před 7 lety +3

      Loud beeping noises are still silent when compared to the sound of a revved up heavy, or a soldier firing his rockets. The sounds of fighting on the frontline drown out the sound of a mini-sentry. The biggest concern would actually be the little light on the top of the gun.
      The bigger issue with the rotated gun is that it is slower to react. If an enemy does know about it, it's much easier to take out, and the rotation of the gun risks putting the front of the gun outside of where ever you're hiding it based on the shape of the bush/rock/plank/whatever.

    • @GhorsHammer
      @GhorsHammer Před 7 lety +6

      I use this trap setup fairly often and it gets me kills I wouldn't have otherwise gotten using the same placements. The gun does beep, but the hit indicators are the much more obvious giveaway to its presence and location. It's not appropriate for every situation, but there are definitely areas where it works out well.

    Hey Dane, my favorite spot for a nest on Upward is inside of the apartments by the red spawn near the tunnels. It’s an AMAZING spot. Try it. It does encourage a little bit of turtle engie though. Put your sentry gun in the window. Have the dispenser in the corner opposite of the small ammo pack, and put a teleporter exit beside the dispenser. Once again, it’s a good spot.

    I got an idea for a new construction PDA.
    Disposable PDA:
    Replaces the dispenser and teleporters with a mini-spenser and speed boosting pad.
    The Mini-Spenser:
    1 second build time.
    50 metal cost.
    Can build 2.
    5 health/second.
    Infinite ammo and metal.
    10% ammo regenerated per second.
    75 health per Mini-Spenser.
    Speed Boosting Pad:
    1.5 X walking speed for 1 - 3 - 5 seconds depending on level.
    160 metal build cost.
    Only 100 metal to upgrade.
    50 with Eureka Effect.
    (eureka effect increases walkspeed when 'teleporting' to exit)

      Depends on how you play it. For offense, If you have a decent team, an early push to hold between C, B, and E can be very effective. Your team can effectively push 3 points without you needing to move, and if you have a team that can support you, that spot is very hard to dislodge. A spy can't take your tele since your entrance can be built in spawn (that's the one thing I hate about Steel actually, it renders a spy's ability to take teles completely useless). If you're fast enough, your team can push B from 2 sides, and can also push E if necessary to get the enemy to back off. Alternatively building between D, A, and E is a decent spot too. You don't really need to worry about being flanked, and your team can keep the pressure up for the last 2 points.
      I don't have time to go over defense atm, but the standard pub spots usually work fairly well.

    If I could put in my 2 cents on the mini placement, there's one place that I almost always put my mini and that's on the right side of the stairs across the "cubby", keep in mind, I'm by no means an Engie main, (I'm a Soldier main myself :3) But I found that spot quite effective, especially when there's a few lvl 3s in the cubby, the team focuses on the sentries, while the mini goes for the easy kills. Anyways, that's just a good spot that I found, and I didn't even think of the mini spots in the bushes, rocks, etc. Thanks for the tips! Love your content, as always!

    When you said "you can coordinate with your spy and jump out of this window and wreak havoc" or whatever you said when you were describing offensive strategy, I got an idea for a spy sapper replacement.
    Spy weapon
    Sapper replacement
    +Building is disabled for an additional 3 seconds after sapper is removed
    +50% sapper health
    +When sapper is placed on a building, the building will be highlighted (wallhacks) for your team and your team will be notified that the building is being sapped
    -80% sapper damage penalty
    -When sapper is removed, spy is marked for death for 3 seconds
    The strategy would be to coordinate with your team to destroy a nest. Instead of the spy taking out the building on his own, he'd act as an actual support class, disabling the building so a power class can come in and just totally wreck everything.

      Maybe make it so the spy can't spam the sapper
      Otherwise really cool

      JuanokuG4 i mean it does say that spy is marked for death once the sap is removed, so the engie can just shotgun the spy when he removes the sap

    That's cool, but the tele spots are going to be near impossible to sustain since your channel is SO popular ;-;

      Some Random Warlock plenty of people know these spots and it's not like your sentry or teleporter is invisible. The enemy team can see it from a range. It doesn't matter if they know the classic spots or not

    Sir Uncle Dane, you have gained another subscriber. This video will greatly help this F2P to not suck as bad at this map.
    Thank you for making a through video on this map.

    When the first point is capped, when it’s safe, I like to take my tele-entrance to the last point spawn so it doesn’t get destroyed when they cap the second point.
