Ain't that a cute little gun? -Uncle Dane The Engie Main
63 damage with the Pomson on an enemy that's basically messing with you is about the best you can hope for. I wouldn't be surprised if that's the only clip you got of it where it actually did damage and didn't get eaten by one of your teammates.
i only remember one kill i got with the pomson and it was when i got it from a drop
Welp , it's spammable ... Every 6 seconds thought
No joke, I only equipped the Pomson that ONE time so I could get a clip of me using it for this video, and that was the very first thing that happened: dying while embarrassingly trying to hit a Sniper who was pretty much just taunting me. At least it was over quickly.
@@UncleDane as a fellow engineer main, I can confirm that the pompson in utter trash.

Exactly.

“I HAVE! A SHOTGUN!”

I AM THE DEFENSE!
90 damage, a.k.a "I two hit Scouts and Medics without even using my sentry.

3:39 Dane's too much for zblock
Love the point about letting go of expectation while aiming/deathmatching, my skill level doubles if I just stop thinking about my aim haha. Also love that even without commentary this video would be worth it just for these silky smooth frags
Hi lazypurple, do you know when how it feels to play medic comes out no pressure tho
Ma boi back at it
Dude I have to turn off my brain in order to aim well, I kinda just do better at everything if I turn off my brain, on spy if I think about the stab I always flop it, if I don't think and just do it usually just happens, wish it wasn't like this but it is so.
Glad to know you're fine man.

@@engi.2 basically the same
1. The way you aim is best for you, instead of trying to find the "perfect aim". You should instead figure out what problems you make when aiming, and then practice not doing it. Even if it takes a long time, you're aim will eventually improve in the end. If you consistently hit enemies and deal high damage, then that probably means your aim is perfect for you.
2. Remember not to think of yourself as some sort of extension to your buildings, but instead think of your building as an extension of you. The Sentry Gun is an extension to your damage output, even if it can deal tons of damage at any time, to any enemy, it doesn't mean you can't either. Same thing applies to your other buildings, even though the Dispenser and Teleporter can help your team in ways you normally can't, doesn't mean you can't help in other ways. You can move, your buildings can't, when a teammate is in a fight, you can move over and help, your buildings can't.

"Rely entirely on instinct" Dane out here going Ultra Instinct
soon he's going to have his training arc
I think Dane has just, like, the best aura of feeling from his channel. I love the 80s/retro "car driving thru blueish purpleish pinkish valley" color scheme he goes for, and I like the music choice, it fits in with the colors and literally sounds like a texan volunteered to be the dj for some disco or 80s party. Ankle dan is good sentry man
Are you talking about Retrowave?
Half of the laughs from this video are from Uncle Dane's jokes and the other half are from the ragdolls.

This hasn’t been up for a minute and there’s already tons of comments. Dane is loved by all
The coolest uncle on YT
Correct
Yes
My fave uncle
it could also be that dane never uploads too 😭
yknow, I've heard people say how good dane's videos are over the years for various reasons, but I never really see anyone point out how good the editing is, even down the sound design at 2:50. Great stuff man, attention to detail shows.
yea it sounds p good lol
Hmm i wonder who created the sounds, maybe a smith?
Mummm
oh hey it's the mage guy
Wait a moment....
2:30 "as gun and more gun" was deadass what i was expecting
Actually Dane, thank you so much for the aim talk. I've been trying to improve my aim for years by fucking torturing myself with low sensitivity and throwing my arm across the entire desk, trying to change my style to predictive firing, and all kinds of stuff. But recently I've found that just by swapping back to my old, comfortable 3.00 sensitivity and flicking at people - pretty much the exact same way you do! - I actually do really well. The segment you did on that really affirms my choice.
“Because believe me, I totally will do that, but sometimes, I won’t.”
Why was that so badass
Cause he killed a scout, more atmospheric with the sounds and slow motion
Also, it's a reference to his song
When you hear the legendary words, you know your IQ is going to increase by quite a huge margin.

2:00 ah yes the homewrecker is indeed a great tool against sentries
It does more damage but good luck getting in melee range of a sentry as pyro. Surprised the stickybomb launcher isn't there
@@anAlarmingAlarm lol didn't see that one
@@Starlightbooper the homewrecker is utilized to destroy dispensers and teleporters, since it is impossible to design a melee weapon that is effective against sentries
@@Starlightbooper its great whena friendly spy sapped the sentry
you'd be surprised, ive seen quick fix ubers used on pyros and watching them tear it up. as gimmicky as it is, it can certainly be a threat in casual games if the sentry is poorly placed
Remember my friends, just because it’s stock doesn’t mean it’s not great.
NO WAY
Tell that to the fire axe
Medics and demomen agree
true and same as dane said in the casual the random bullets go everywhere its annoying

Way better said than I could have ever done! Also those sound effects are **chef's kiss**
Dane's aim style seems to be an in-the-moment nurf in exchange for a constant flick-training that may add to his consistency of the mechanic
I dont get what this means but I want his shotgun consistency
what are the optimal settings for the mouse when playing the engineer witg shotgun? or where can i look it up?
@@greenthepokemontrainer3358 no, you should tweak it yourself over time
I find that playing on CTF servers or less objective-focused maps is a great way to just focus on deathmatch and improve my aiming
Yeah, I will play 24/7 2fort servers. To practice battle engi and my aim by sitting in the sewer area and running around looking for people to kill and I find it very effective at training ones aim with a shotgun.
This can be useful, but remember that ctf is typically bad at teaching game sense
play on koth maps
Out of all the Uncle Dane vids this one has my favourite outro. Keep up the good work man!
I liked the stat art for this vid. Keep it up!
Yup. The default shotgun is very good.
When I started playing tf2 more than ten years ago (jesus christ, it has been a while) I remember thinking that the default shotgun felt like a peashooter that wasn't meant to be used, (plus my aim was garbage) but at some point I played a match as fat scout and kicked ass with, and that was when my eyes were opened. The shotgun is actually very good.
As an engineer, you can defend yourself very well with the shotgun, even push with it.
As a soldier when you run out of ammo on the rocket launcher, the shotgun will finish the job.
As a pyro, the shotgun counters other pyros who don't have it.
As the heavy, I still prefer the sandvich.
I just didn't use it for a long time because of some early bad experiences with it.
The Shotgun on Pyro is so underrated, people sleep on it. And they can't get mad when they die to it because it actually takes skill, too.
@@BottomOfTheDumpsterFire Doesn't stop them from getting mad anyway. Doesn't matter how they got killed, Pyro is still "WM1 noob" for them.
I realized that shotgun is a good weapon when I started using it on pyros as soldier and since that day I always use shotgun sometimes even prefer it over the rocket launcher for some reason
@@BottomOfTheDumpsterFire I usually use the shotgun (or panic attack) because I use the flamethrower(s) on non pyros and the shotgun on other pyros.
on heavy it can be used to traverse to an area in which revving up a minigun and being slower could get you killed
*starts with halo music*
Dane/MasterCheif: I love the shotgun
Most of the music in this is halo
0:43 it actually rewards me with a "pew"
6:41 I think you might have develop that habit from the extremly large viewmodels the game has by default. Keeping your aim and chest level to reduce how much you have to move it will usually result in the shotgun taking a decent chunk of the screen. You used to use a custom animations thing that prevented that but they eventually aded the small viewmodels that everyone useses now. That's just my gess on how that came to be.
2:43 *Insert Spookston "If the TF2 shotgun was historically accurate"*
Exactly what i thought. "No frontier justices could ever be made, only 1 can be in game at the time." But, it's a compellingly good music as presented here.
You know someone's got good taste when they use the dope Halo soundtrack. And it's used really well in this video.
Uncle Dane makes so few videos that when one comes around it just fills me with dopamine head to toe!
Hope you are doing good and wish you a relaxing summer. Or action packet summer. What flouts your boat :)
That point about letting go of your aim expectations is so good. Like for me, when I'm playing direct hit soldier, I'll miss all 4 rockets and die like a dumbass if a target is in my face and I'm trying to track him. But then an enemy soldier tries to bomb at me and I completely freak out and panic and accidentally kill him with a flick airshot while screaming in terror.
No special intro? I bet the next project is gonna be big!

7:24 - "Use the force, Luke. Let go!"
Hey Uncle Dane, this isn’t exactly related to this video, but do you think you could put an episode of the Engineer’s Blueprints for Pier on your list? I think it’s a great map and I love playing on it a lot, but whenever I pick Engineer on that map, be it on offense or defense, I have no *idea* where to place *any* of my buildings.
flank behind all the time
Figure out a way to be most efficient. Think about you're building placement. "Is this gun in range of that doorway?", "Can my gun be spammed out from that doorway?", "Is this gun locking down a crucial choke?", "Is it worth building here? How much Uber does that medic have?" etc., etc.
play other classes, copy good sentry spots that other engineers put up :D
Hop in offline server for a hour and walk around. If you know when doors move and spawns change you can get pretty good idea of what works and what won't.
I don't like that map... :(

@@DoofXMachina Of course I know. Just thinking America has the most.
Just want to say how much I appreciate the advice on aiming by just kinda chilling out and not paying attention as much, saw this video today, hopped into a game of pier and got 3rd as battle engine and could actually aim my shotgun shots and it felt amazing

If I’m gonna be honest, if I’m not using rescue ranger in a sentry nest, the shotgun is my favourite pick cuz it’s just reliable and u know ur gonna do a good chunk of damage
It’s like a sword and a shield. Yeah, you can use each individually, and one is most definitely more effective at causing harm, but together they become far more than they are individually. The sentry is a constant threat that draws fire and defends a location, and the shotgun is a surprisingly strong, short range hit-scan perfect for finishing off softened targets. Used alone, each is effective, but together they shine brightest.
That last line is the most Dale Conagher thing i've ever freakin heard. Love it!

I never know someone could make an entire video about a single stock weapon, you are a legend
Our uncle's "flick to the floor between shots" is what I like to call The Bifocals. By pulling your crosshair "down" it doesn't "get in the way" of what you're looking at (whether that's a rational impulse or not, it's instinct). This forces you to take a brief moment to reassess where your target is going, what's going on around you, etc.
Same, when Im playing a class like scout or sniper and on a huge killstreak I think to myself “Wow my aim is on point today” then cant hit shit and die
Wasn't expecting the Halo music, love it.
Shotgun is BEAUTIFUL. I love it!

Did you ever *get* tf2?
I really thought that “wait what?” At 6:00 was gonna be about him taking a medkit while being healed
Love the Halo music in the background. Nice touch.
Whenever I watch uncle Dane, I cant help but feel good from the pure RESPECT he gives in all his videos while able to still give his own opinions, he was even able to be respectful on the most opinionated types of videos, the teir videos, I just think it's a good skill to have, keep up the good work unkel Daen
Honestly I always overlook stock weapons, due to the other weapons being more appealing for certain situations, using ranger for defensive and frontier for offensive (I don't have the panic attack and I can't aim well enough for widow). Because who needs normal shotgun when you have one that fixes buildings for less ammo or one that gets crits from kills? Of course I use other stock weapons because all the other weopon's downsides outweigh the stocks, such as most other flamethrowers having an airblast cost or most other wrenches not being as helpful for sentries.
I'd just like to say, thank you for opening my eyes to the stock shotgun
