"The sapper isnt immortal, but rather transcendant" Oh ok lmao

No wonder the spy is Gabens favorite class

"Dooming the sentry to a slow, painful, and certain dealth." Join the club, pal, you ain't special.

Shounic is the type of guy that will answer the teacher before she even says the question.

"(Sapper) proceeds to exist without a purpose" Sounds familiar.

"After 9 years in development, spy, thanks and have fun"

the fact that the 2007 sentry upgrade animation was so smooth and non-jank made me feel strange.

so what you're saying is, it's possible to consistently recreate these circumstances for a 'first of it's kind' sap technique?

I GOT THIS GILITCH ONCE PLAYING OFFLINE i was the engi and the spy bot did this glitch odd

Imagine the "Sappers Destroyed: X" part on somebody's wrench as they suffer through this terrible glitch.

This has only happened to me once, I was Engineer on turbine and we were kinda rolling the opposite team, yet we didn't cap yet we were just in control of the main area. Then a Spy sapped my Sentry and my team dealt with him rather fast, i hit the sapper yet it didn't come off i told my team about the problem and no one was helping, i was just forced to use up all the saved Dispenser metal to keep it alive until the Sentry inevitably broke, the Pyro next to me saw that my Sentry wasn't unsapped yet, so he hit it with his Homewrecker (thank god he had one) and my Sentry was unsapped. After that,the Spy that sapped my Sentry saw that i was venting in the chat that my Wrench wasn't getting the sapper off the Sentry, and once it was finally removed, we both had a laugh about it. It was scary yet funny at the same time.

hey, i've seen some comments about how this video is locked to 720p and 1080p only. i have the same issue on my end. i want to make it clear that i have no clue why this happened and there are absolutely 0 controls you have as a creator over quality options at all. in fact, youtube CLAIMS standard definition is available too i.imgur.com/TTmkh8o.png . perhaps youtube's servers are exploding? idk. either way, i'm sorry but there's nothing I can do and i'm sorry about the difficulties you're having watching this video. in other news, since i'm already writing a comment - this was the video i wanted to release last time but we had to revise our theory like 3 times. in the past, we could've been lucky, but things were pretty straight forward and we figured things out first try. this sapper thing took quite a few turns. also, i'll probably make a follow up video for extra clarifications, testing the red tape recorder, and some other requests. okay, that's it! hope you enjoyed the video :)

Welp, I guess I'm logging in tf2 and playing spy now

I accidentally did that with an engie's teleporter, the sapper got removed by a pyro using the neon annihilator, so it probs can be broken by pyro's with melees that can remove sappers

This "build point slot" thing seems like it could be used for a lot of other things. I wish Valve would make TF2 stupid convoluted. Just a little.

Fascinating. Imagine a custom game mode based around this; the Cancer Care Patient. I might have to try that sometime.

5:27 ''Looks like an ascended engineer isn't much of a challenge for you, so let me take it up to the next level!"

Okay, that exploit can be nightmare for every engineer main.

Ur thumbnails get more and more cursed with every vid

pretty sure muselk got this and yelled "GABEN!"

Dell's Bizarre Adventure: Sapper is Unbreakable

This is why you should never use two different variables to do the same thing

"Welcome to Team Fortress 2, after 9 years in development, Spy."

I actually had this happen in a competitive game, luckily did figure out I could save it by picking it up in time though

Finally, a way to defeat the 2fort intel room

i actually love these videos. the way that you're able to explain the intricacies of this code in a very simple manner, and make this really educational and easy to follow, is something i've rarely seen on other channels

This video is such a masterfully executed explanation. Everything's presented in a way very easy to understand despite these being pretty complicated things not everyone could tackle. Really thankful for this channel.

Take a shot every time he says "build points" I tried and I'm the. Fine it's challenge drunk very

Team Fortress 4: Sapper is Unbreakable

I love you, dude. You make everything so easy to understand

I'm so happy to finally have this explained, love it, thank you :)

“There’s a sapper sapping my sapper”

i remember when NISLT used to upload regularly and had compilation of what people called 'Chinese Sappers' and there were instances where the engi DID manage to remove the mysterious second sapper after hours and hours of whacking at the sentry. Is there a reason why it suddenly DOES work after attrition settles in? Or was it because of the spaghetti code being different back then??

So that’s how it happens! I was wondering that earlier! Good job solving this ancient mystery!

Bro these videos are actually unreal awesome work

8:43 *my satisfaction is immeasurable and my day is saved*

We really need to get you a job in QA Shounic lol

Neat explanation! Thanks for uploading!

You have GREAT animations. They take your videos from good to great.

Love the thumbnail

"...it causes sentry to *believe* it has no sapper and work normally." Ah, yes, *big brain time.*

the way you/your editor edit these videos are outstanding!

Dude i love these videos, i swear the diagrams are so pleasing to look at lol

I was actually thinking as I was watching this "wait, can't you just pick the building up if the HasSapper tag is false?"

I have no idea why this is interesting but it is

you are epic, the fact you can explain how everything works in tf2 is amazing, great video

the thumbnail images for all of his videos are hilarious. that is the reason i started watching his videos. Specifcally, the one with two gabens aiming pistols at eachother's heads.

5:06 It's all about the mindset

Yea this has happened to me before in 2fort the sapper just stayed floating in mid air

This happened to me once and I was so confused. Thanks for explaining!

I've personally had this glitch happen to me a while back but could never prove it. Thank you for the video

So that’s why I got killed by a sentry that I clearly “sapped” but it was still functional and shot me to death :”l

So that means... Spy is most effective when engineer upgrade his sentry

I like how shounic finds these existential paradigmas in technical mistakes. Digging it.

The editing of this man is incredible

Great video! What would happen if the same glitch was used with the red tape recorder? Would the sentry reverting to previous upgrades 'reset' the sentry, make the glitch worse, do nothing, or reveal the pyro's role as a class?

What would happen if you were to add the Red-Tape-Recorder to a bug-sapped sentry? Edit: Clarification: as is done here with the default sapper 5:41

Thanks for the video.

You have the answers to all! Ty

"Don't be upsetti, have some spaghetti" This all begs the question, how is an "accidental reality" so seamlessly sensible, when flawed mortals can't manage to successfully create a perfectly stable virtual world?

The extremely rare immortal sapper glitch; the way home

Dustforce music :) poggers

6:46 - I can not express how much I love these conclusions

I'm too baked for this

After the engi picks up the building, can the spy perform the glitch again, to fill the map with floating sappers?

“So no matter how hard you tr-“ *SUPER SAYEN SCREAMING*

It's so detailed it's satisfying.

If you don't mind me asking, where are you from? Your accent is interesting.

I have a question: why does targe's model get randomly stuck mid air (it's not visible on hud but instead it is floating at some place of the map), perhaps it's related to sapper teleporting to spy on building pick up?

That's Many more stories to tell, like the double cap on ctf_thundermontain ...

Your videos never fail to make my day

Sapper random crit?

Teufort’s bizarre adventure: Sapper is Unbreakable

I saw once a lad who could do this glitch quite well, and he managed to team up with an enemy Engineer. I remember turning around a corner for the last point in Badwater map, and finding myself in front of a pool of these 8:04 .

Oh dude I was in an organized 2fort game where everybody went engineer and we were all in a discord and this happened. It took like 6 engineers hitting it to fix.

Good lord, its been a while since I saw smooth sentry upgrade from 1 to 2.

shounic is the lawful good to delfy's chaotic evil

i remember getting an immortal sapper on my teleporter one time, but the sapper was only on one side of the portal, and it was the one i wasn't near, so i was unable to just pick it up and i had to let it die

Something similar to this more commonly effects teleporters where (like in this video the sapper is immortal and cannot be removed) the glitch sapper appears on both teles and cannot be picked up, but is still able to be fixed via going to the opposite teleporter and breaking that sapper.

I just experienced this glitch for the first time yesterday, and now I see this video :0

Dude it would be super cool to see the idea of more building attachments explored in the future. Stuff like more rockets, a range extender, a shield, a self repair, or some other crazy valve concepts would be super interesting to see. Sucks it seems like the idea was forgotten at some point.

I love these spaghetti videos

Nice video. :)

hopefully it'll be worth the wait

This happened to me last night on class wars when it was spy vs engie. I placed a tape recorder on a mini, but instead of it sapping the mini it just caused a visual bug where it was stuck on the mini and the sentry still functioned as normel without being destroyed by the sapper. The sentry could even be moved too.

engineer: breaks sapper sapper: reveils another sapper engineer: well crap

Lmao I came back to this after I managed to do the glitch myself. It was hilarious, even my team was confused when they pushed.

Nice. I thought I was the only one to use a scientific approach towards videogames (and reality in general).

AND THIS! IS WHAT IT'S LIKE TO GO EVER FURTHER BEYOND TRANSCENDENT!

Build points, interesting. This gives me an idea for an Engineer secondary; you could place it on your buildings to make them unsappable, and when the building would take damage, this takes it instead. There could be a 5 sec cooldown on it, or make the building disabled for 0.5 sec when this is destroyed, to prevent a turtle engie from spamming it. It could have a metal cost and a health of 50.

Shounic: educational adventures in the obscure.

Only good content creator for tf2 rn, thank you shounic

Delfy has made a very good video showing the glitch (but not explaing) a while ago. They made loads of those floating sappers and invited players. Now we know why this is a thing xd

New upload by Delfy: Transcendent Sapper Glitch.

Fascinating stuff. Send this to Volvo if you haven't already.

I swear I recall a video on that glitch where even after the Engineer picked up his sentry, the sapper was right back on it when he put it back down...

Great. Now we got pyros who can attack and compression blast AND spies with invincible sappers. Thanks, man. Can’t wait to see this in casual now.

I've died so many times to this shit, glad to finally know why it happens, thanks Shounic

Oh booleans. A lovely thing that becomes crushed when it needs to answer a question harder than "yes" or "no"
