TF2 Tactics: Demo-Sentry Kills

In this video they talk about the different ways to kill a sentry:
- Side Sticky
- Strafe Sticky / Pipe
- Pipe the Engineer
- Aim for the Top of the Sentry
- Jump then Pipe / Sticky
- Sticky Vertically
- Use your Teamates as Shield
- Stickies Weakness
- can be shot
- can be blown away
- too slow at long range
- Pipe Weakness
- hard to aim
- have to be a direct hit
Tests:
- How many stickies to kill a level 1, 2 or 3 sentry
- How many pipes with direct hit
- How many bounced pipes
- Can a level 3 dispenser keep up with the damage?
Notes:
- There’s a reason why the demoman weapons arc, it is the only class that can kill a sentry without direct line of sight.
- General Rule: If you have a straight line of sight use pipes because it hits harder and faster, if you have to use corners use stickies.
- When you use pipes as long as it lands close to the sentry it doesn’t matter if you miss or don’t cause a direct hit, since the pipes on the floor will kill the engineer anyway, and then you’re free to kill the sentry.
- The difference between soldier and demo: soldiers are reliant upon killing the engineer first. while demoman can kill the sentry without killing the engineer first.
