Idea for a Construction PDA...
Okay, this needs to happen. We need a new Contruction PDA for the Engineer. Maybe something that'll give the engie a new strategy not involving piss.

You can put your ideas for a PDA, but make sure you think thoroughly of your idea.

I've always thought that a neat idea for a PDA would be one with new buildings. Give engi something that would change his playstyle. Heck, remove the tele and replace it with something different so the user has to make a choice whether to use his teles or something new.

Ill come back to this thread later and perhaps post some of my building ideas, but i liked uncle dane's idea for a pda in his lastest video, its a pda that gives you +25 health (can stack with the gunslinger) but your sentrygun can only be level 2, and if using the gunslinger you cant construct sentries.

Yeah, i would think so, after all he is an engineer main so he would have better ideas than me, and i want a pda that makes the sentry gun into a moving tank.

Not really a PDA but I've said before the TFC railgun, and have it let you build mini dispensers.

Or the pda lets you build mini dispensers I dunno.

Or laser sentry pda.

Or something that builds a suit or robotic mecha that you have to build up to LV3 and only you can pilot it. It moves kind of slow (slower than a heavy but not as much as him when revved), and has an autocannon. Crouching covers the engineer's head and back, protecting from headshots but cannot move while crouching. When it's destroyed the engineer is launched into the air and stunned for 3 seconds.


Wearing the suit negates 80% of all damage until it is destroyed. Repair to the suit is reduced by 66% when it's worn, hitting reload will exit the suit.

Crouching prevents backstabs and headshots but will prevent you from moving while crouched.

The suit can be sapped.

The engineer can be healed while in the suit but not overhealed.

The only way to get more ammo for the suit's weapon is to have a teammate wrench you.

I didn't even notice this written there.

I like the idea of an engineer being able to build some sort of mech suit, the only thing others might say about it is it would break the balance of the game, but i disagree. if engineers could walk around like tanks, it would promote spys and snipers to take them out and what not.

I know this sounds weird.
I think we shouldn't habe a new pda but instead a new blueprint mechanic. You get blueprints the same way as weapons. You can then add them to a pda to replace buildings with different buildings. This will either remove the blueprint if valve wants us to buy new ones whenever we want different ones or keep it so we have to expand our backpacks.
Something similar can be done for spy disquises and even hevy sandwiches.
