Building

From TF2 Wiki

Sentry gun

Teleporter entrance

Dispenser

Buildings are machines that can be created by the Engineer. The four available buildings are the following:

• Sentry gun
• Teleporter entrance
• Teleporter exit
• Dispenser

An Engineer may not construct more than one building of each type at a time. Engineers require Metal to create, upgrade, and repair buildings.

Like players, buildings have health, and are destroyed when health is reduced to zero. The Spy can disable and slowly damage buildings over time using the Electro sapper weapon. Damaged buildings emit smoke and sparks.

Buildings are erected automatically after being deployed, but can be built twice as fast by hitting it repeatedly with the Engineer's Wrench during construction. Having more than one engineer hitting a building under construction stacks the effect. A Building can be deliberately destroyed by using the destroy menu (default: 5). This is useful for repositioning a building or for recollecting metal., as a building will explode into broken metal pieces upon destruction.

Player stats keep track of the number of buildings created and destroyed (listed under "most destructions").

Water does not have any effect on buildings. All buildings in Team Fortress 2 work underwater, as well as on dry land.

Building	Build Time	Cost in metal	Health points	Scrap metal when destroyed
Sentry	10 seconds	130 (200 to upgrade)	150/180/216	60
Dispenser	20 seconds	100	150	50
Teleporter (entrance or exit)	20 seconds	125	150	60
