Eureka Effect

Does anyone love this weapon as much as I do??

Building extremely forward bases is amazingly fun. You never have to risk getting seen building because you don't need to look for metal. Just use your tele system.

What are your favorite spots?

-Dustbowl Stage 2. In the building of the first cap, there is a little pocket on the right when you enter from the bottom. Almost impossible to be spotted while building if you can get there unseen.

-Gravel Pit Point C.While your team is capping A & B try to build a base ON THE TOP OF C! If you can pull it off, it's hilarious.

Real men use the Jag.

But seriously, sometimes it's just better for the build times. Most of the times my team uses the teleport that isn't upgraded yet, so it takes long to recharge. If you are ninjaneering behind the enemy lines you don't want your teammates wandering around their base and luring the enemy to you before you set up.

Real Mann use whatever they like.

People who use the Jag are unoriginal and takes the easy choice because it's such a popular weapon.


The Eureka Effect is amazing.

I swear if I get Pyro'd while I'm building a sentry ONE MORE TIME...

Jag FTW sometimes.

Tell your team not to use the tele.

I love the Eureka effect on CP stages at the very beginning. You can drop a gun, dispenser and exit real quick by finding ammo laying around, then teleport back for full ammo and finish up.

I usually switch to the Jag once the cap point is right near respawn.

Yep, I love the Eureka Effect! It's the only Grordbort weapon that's a worthy addition to the game in my opinion. It's a lot of fun to go deep into enemy territory, drop some buildings, then beam out of there.
Also a great feeling to dematerialize just as a crocket / W+M1 Pyro / stickybomb is about to hit you. (it's a less good feeling when you're just one moment too late though. )

Only pitfall of Eureka is once the enemy team discovers your nest, if you can't move your gun around you may just get demo-spammed to death. Unless you happen to be carrying a Short Circuit with you...
