Hi guys,

I've got a little TF2 concerned question: I'm playing TF2 for some days now I still don't really know what I should do with an uber set on me. So... what should you do? I know this depends on the situation (and on the class played), but what is prefered? Destroy the evil sentries? Kill as much as you can? Move forward to the cp? And what to do if you run out of ammunition (occurs have of the time I get ubered playing solider )?

I'd appretiate to get some general tips on that issue as I'm thinking that I often "waste" an uber on me. :/

Cheers
Blackhawk, Pyro-Trainee

First of all. Dont panic

Sentries should be your no:1 priorety. As you cant destoy one with only rockets if there is an engineer repairing it you need to go for him first. You will probably run out of rockets if tryin to first shoot the engineer and then the sentry so change to your shotgun if you are within reasonable range. It will do quite a bit of dmg, alot more then tryin te reload and then shoot rockets one by one.

If there is no SG:s around, just try to get some frags. Medics is your first priorety here, if there´s one around. If you are near the point I´d try to go for the demoman who has stickied the point. (He is probably somewhere near).

Also if you are near the point dont go for it, try to push the opposite teams players back to get a clear way for your teammates to cap the point. As you cant cap while ubered and if the opposite team has a clear shot at the point they will blow you to smithereens when it fades.

Goodluck with your ubers, and remember, dont rush off too far with em, they are usually not worth dying for.

nice... also dont run in a mass of ppl like a retard &nd try to kill everythin coz in the most cases ur medic &nd u will end up surrounded by lots of ppl &nd die... <-- i hate that if i'm playin medic >.<

Uber 101

Asses the situation. Was your team on the offensive or the defensive at the moment of the uber?

Offensive -

What class are you playing? If you are a soldier it might not make much sense to try and take down the sentry gun. Only try it if you got a clear shot on the engi. Kill engi first (clear shot should only take 2 rockets) and then kill sentry. Often this will not be the case, thus it would be better to try and kill opponents. Try to shoot at stuff you know you can kill, so don't shoot at an enemy uber . Basically anything with 125 health gets popped in 2 rockets if your aim is good.

So a down to class description on what to do
Scout - Usually you won't get ubered when offensive, but if you do get ubered. Try to stay in the medics range and try to kill enemy medics. They should have a hard time running from you. Heavies go down good as well since you can now run up pointblank and blast them. Turrets will just knock you back due to weight.

Soldier- happens every now and then. Kill engies if you get the chance, and pop sentry gun afterward. If not just try to kill as many as possible. Try to aim for the mob of people that is probably trying to run away from you. Be sure to switch to shotgun after you blast your 4 rockets.

Pyro- In this case the turrets should be priority, since your flame reaches through the turret and will kill the engi. After turrets come medics, since they can put out the flames. Anything else should get a nice and crispy treatment afterwards

Demoman- TURRETS! 2 well placed stickies kill the turret and most likely the engineer. So you can effectively blow up 4 turrets if you are really good (and lucky). Other then that try to get medics and heavies with your stickies. The normal grenades work quite well on heavies and soldiers as well. Anyways stickies need a nerf they are too powerfull

Heavy- spray and pray. If you can try to kill turrets but this will require you to be real close to it or be able to kill the engi. I find both take to long so I usually try to kill other targets first... since I can always pull back where the sentry won't shoot me. Of course if you know you can take down the sentry do it.

Engineer- very unlikely. just try and kill people with the shotgun and swap to pistol/wrench afterwards. You won't be able to take down a turret unless the engi ran.

Sniper- Also very unlikely. Same as engi basically, but then with submachine gun and machette

Spy- Run back to your own team. Seriously the medic will be scratching his head and thinking WHY ISN"T THE GUY FIRING! Oh I should mention that you will get ubered by enemy medics .

If the situation was defensive your best bet is to try and secure the area instead of running off forward. Make sure you have cleared the area and don't stray to far out, since the next wave of attackers might already be coming.

**Or for a serious answer, read up from this post, Crovax knows what hes talking about. It all depends on the situation and class and I cant put it much better than that, so hopefully someone else can.

Timings important, you can set it off too early and waste some of it, or not activate it in time and get killed, try and pick a reasonable time to use it and as soon as you start taking some hits, it's better to use the uber instead of dying and having no uber at all.

afaik he wanted to know what to do when he got ubered. The timing part is for the medic only to decide. Voice coms help a lot with that, since the patient might be able to see that there is only 1 or 2 and he doesn't need the uber, while the medic around the corner might think there are lots of enemies around the corner.

Anyhow if you are on defense with a medic, there should always be one medic with uber ready near the point. This will help you win the game!

Woah... thanks for the replies! So...
Yeah... I'll try... but I'm still getting a bit nervous when I'm getting ubered. ^^
Ok... I think I exactly created this situation for some days ago...
Woah... I think I'll print this an put it besided my keyboard... then when I get ubered, I can read what to do... oh? The 10 seconds are already over?

So... as I'm playing pyro, solider or demo most of the time:
So only shoot a fully loaded launcher and then switch to the shotgun? Until now I always tried to reload... so I'll try to follow your tip.
Ok... this was the way I tried to play this. So I only need to follow the "don't pull your medic right into the enemies"-tip from Baal...
Hmhmm... stickies over pipes. I'll try to remember, but yet I never got ubered as an demoman.
Yeah... Heavy was the easiest one to play ubered for me. Just shoot and you're to slow to loose your medic. ^^
Right! But the other side is also nice to know. I switch to medic if there aren't enough... so every now and then I've have an uber to deploy...

So... thanks for the help! You're great, guys.

Happy fragging!
Blackhawk

PS: This "uber"-thing is quite funny/strange for German ppl.
