→Teleporter Entrance

One half of a teleporter system. Even if you don't plan on placing an exit (which you should), plop this thing down outside your spawn anyway and resupply. It only takes up 5 seconds of your time. Once both entrance and exit have been built, this building will start glowing and a yellow arrow will point in the direction of the exit. Standing on the teleporter briefly will instantly move you to the exit. Once used, a teleporter takes 10 seconds to recharge. After using a teleporter, a team colored glow will be visible at your feet. This can give away the location of a secret teleporter, so be careful. | One half of a teleporter system.

This can be upgraded like a dispenser or a sentry gun at 200 metal a level. It doesn't matter if you upgrade the entrance or the exit, they will both be upgraded at the same time. If either the entrance or the exit is destroyed the other one's level is reduced back to one making it more vital to protect both ends. Before a match starts it can be helpful to go engineer and upgrade other engineer's entrances so they can concentrate on other things. | |||
I teleporter on offense can be the key to taking an enimy point as it helps you get to the front lines faster. It can also be helpful on some maps for defense if your spawn is far away from the area that needs defending. | |||
