this isn't a specific weapon suggestion, but more of an overall suggestion for the PDA slot for the engineer

Instead of just affecting Engie's two teleporter build slots, the PDA should act as a mini loadout which affects all four building slots, for example:
Default PDA - Sentry, Dispenser, Tele Exit/Entrance
Jumpkit PDA - Sentry, Dispenser, Jump pad A/B
Medical PDA - Healing Sentry, Dispenser, Jump pad A/B
Flanker's PDA - Sentry, Mini Sentry, Tele Exit/Entrance
Grordbort's PDA - Goliathon Sentry, Shield bubble, Tele Exit/Entrance
(these are not actual PDA or building suggestions but are just representative of the idea)

This would allow for more customisation in Engie's kit and help justify the existence of the PDA slot, as currently just having the jump pad doesn't really do it for me

#

dont know how doable this is but given the fact they could change engineer from building a teleporter to a jump pad seems like it could be possible

I personally think it should be kept like it is now so sentry and dispenser replacements can be kept for other slots so you can actually customize your setup

#

Instead of pda forcing you to that specific selection

#

It's unnescessarily limiting

#

in that case people should start suggesting wrenches that replace your sentry and primaries/secondaries that replace your dispenser

I want to think the healing sentry would shoot the Crusader's Crossbow bolts

I think each building would have its own slot to customise rather than having pre-made set ups.

I still think it’s be cool if sentries were tied to a few Wrenches.

Flanker's PDA - Sentry, Mini Sentry, Tele Exit/Entrance, is an interesting idea, plus a demo comes along and blows up the foundation and all that.

Imo engie should be able to pick individually what buildings he wants for the PDA

fair echo
#

if in the future they design more than just a tele replacement then yeah, but fr if the pda slot is just gonna be the 2 "misc building" slots then no need imo

#

but i kinda like the idea of the sentry and dispenser being unchanging and the 2 other slots being a sort of bonus building slot that is changable imo
