Pistol vs Short Circuit

[LavaSverdlovsky]

I’m trying to select a secondary for my Gunslinger Engi. Which is better?

Pistol is god.

You can rocket jump with the short circuit when your in point blank range with a enemy

short circuit is great for denying enemy projectile and is great for a more defensive style of engieneers.Its noteworthy that the SC is good at hunting down spies to.

pistol is great when your all out shells, your last ditch effort defense if all hell breaks loose and your buildings are down, both great for offense n defense.

There's no "bad" engineer secondary at this point in time.

Short Circuit if there's a lot of Demo/Soldiers

Pistol if you know how to aim

I thought that was a glitch that would be fixed by now
So is circuit-jump a feature?

Yep, it is

Pistol is the solid, dependable way to go

If you can get good with It, the Wrangler can do wonders

I always thought the Short Circuit wasn't really good, then a week or so ago, I'm randomly watching YouTube and came across one of Uncle Dane's vids, where I Learned they changed the SC to having an Energy Ball, crafted one from scraps 4 days ago, and even tho It's situational, I'm quite enjoying It -- I know how to manage my Metal, and I triple- spread blasted a Spy after my buildings, then finished him with my shotgun, surprised the heck outta him!

on payload maps as offense short circuit makes more sense since the cart is an infinite metal dispencer, and since the cart is the most likely thing to be splashed to death by spam its an effective cart pushing tool.

otherwise its largely dependant on the situation

Yeah, I've only had the "new" Short Circuit a few days, do like it it certain situations, haven't had a chance yet to "plug it in" to the Cart and fire away on Payload/Offense, but that is the main reason I crafted It
