This is ment to be a upgrade version of Engineer PDA which while really good has a costly downside.

The PDA
The Explosive Sentry: This sentry where instead of shooting regular bullets; its shoots short-range explosive rounds similar to the Anti-Aircraft Cannon which it upgrades improving it distances. It cost 200 Metal to build.

The Repair Node: the Repair Node would periodically repair all nearby buildings before temporarily ceasing function in order to recharge; the recharge time is 15 Seconds. Its cost 200 Metal to Build.

The Advance Teleporter: These are just buff up teleporter that can teleport 2 people at a time. The entrance & exit cost 100 Metal.

This PDA while really good cost alot of Metal to build and repair buildings and you lose your dispenser. Its basically a glass cannon PDA and Buildings.

There isn't really a point to have a sentries main weapon be splash

Repair node is just a bad idea

Straight upgrade

This is ment to be a upgraded PDA that while amazing to use but is difficult to build & maintained. Like I said; its a glass cannon. While great and a major upgrade compared to the base PDA, The PDA Advance is more costly and it building can be destoyed by a good push or a spy + Hard to maintained since it cost more metal to fix the buildings.

I wouldn't say making a weapon that is a straight upgrade as defense engie aka only 2 modes as only one of the teams and really bad at anything else is great design

literally only downside of this thing is building cost, which is countered by just having a second engineer with regular pda so you can get dispencer

#

also repair node is just badly designed building
