The engineer is not well suited for combat. Your weapons won't do enough damage to kill before you're killed, but paired with a sentry you can kill almost anything.

# As a scout, your only hope is to edge it while the engineer isn't looking. By standing still long enough to edge it, you negate your main advantage, speed, so you should usually just try to avoid sentries outright.

# Soldiers are well equipped to take out sentries in most posistions. If the engineer isn't babysitting it, 3 rockets will take down a level 3 sentry and 2 rockets will take out anything else. If the engineer is repairing his sentry, try to take either him or his dispenser out first.

# Pyros are not usually good against sentries, however, in some positions you can edge with the flamethrower and kill the sentry very quickly. Even if the engi is repairing it, you can usually damage faster than he repairs and you may even kill the engineer in the process.

# Demomen are the best sentry killers in the game. Just put 3 stickies next to a sentry, detonate and kaboom. If the engineer doesn't die, you can finish him easily with your grenade launcher.
