Lvl 3 sentry also adds health a dmg i think. rockets are just cool

just make it this:

+When weapon active:
+Sentry gun has 20% longer range
+Sentry gun has 10% faster firing speed
+Alt-fire: Lv. 3 Sentry gun fires homing rockets at a locked-on target (target over crosshair)
-Reflected homing rockets willl go to the sentry and do double damage.

-Not a pistol.
-Sentry has 20% shorter range and 10% slower firing speed when weapon NOT active.

I see it more like one of those airstrike things from Halo Reach:

Here's my idea:

+ (When wrangled) On right-click: Rockets will fire 50% faster and reload 25% faster.
+ 10% firing speed when not wrangled. (Firing speed stacks when wrangled)
- Shield will only reduce damage and repair by 25%. (Regular wrangler shield is 66%)
- 15% slower reaction time to targets when not wrangled.

Think of it as a wrangler that will benefit only those with a quick and accurate aim.

Ok heres some stats

-Right click: Bullets will penetrate enemies infinetly at the double cost of ammo
-Sheild damage reduction reduced by 10%
-All the other downsides to the normal wrangler
-Cant fire rockets

they would shoot rockets, or they would just not have double ammo use for boosted. that way downsides are much less

The Signal Booster
Wrangled Prototype
(=) Take manual control of your Sentry Gun.
Wrangled sentries gain a shield that reduces
damage and repairs by 50%.
Sentries are disabled for 2 seconds after becoming unwrangled.
(+) For every kill, +10% damage bonus and max health bonus on sentry.
(-) Sentry is unwrangled when crit, and cannot be unwrangled for 3 seconds.
(-) Sentry takes 10% extra critical hit damage, unless sentry is wrangled.

Trades damage reduction for health and damage.

cool skin and good idea a bit OP tho

id like to see a wrangler that has a fist on it that replaces the sentry with the composite sentry (just a robotic arm on a pivet) that a team member can donate their weapon to to turn the sentry intio that wepon. ie a sniper gives it his machina and it does slow high damage body shots, a pyro gives it his flame thrower it does close fire dimage etc. this would make the engi much more versatile but the donor cant use the wepon slot while the sentry has their wepon.

engyneer engyneer engyneer engyneer engyneer

While wrangling a sentry:
+25% damage resistance to wearer and the sentry
+15% sentry damage bonus
+5 health per second to sentry
Unavailability to switch weapons until a kill

Sims a byte legit

So it's basically got the Old half Zatochi effect

I love it though
