Getting behind the gate before the first Check point is reached as a RED Engi

Put a dispenser to the left of the bridge, before the cliff.  Jump on it, and crouch-jump onto the place.  Then go to the ledge and build there, or build behind the gate and surprise the enemy when they get the first checkpoint.  There is a full Metal/Ammo drop on the ledge, so use that to upgrade your sentry and build everything.  Putting a tele up on the ledge is helpful, too, incase you ever die, but your sentry lives.


Also on that first part of Goldrush (A), instead of helping your team in the front, go to the right building and build there, so your team has control over that building whent hey get the first Check point.  That is an evi place when the toher team has control of it for RED.  BLU controling the right building = Hell for RED.

Thank you! I was wondering how to do that! I played Gold Rush yesterday and thought I'd give it a go, there were three Engies all trying to creep slowly up that hill hoping to make it, none of them managed it.

theres easier way, on the left there's a small ledge (looks like a sewer exit), jump on there, then jump on the platform, u can do this with ecery class

Actually, you don't need a dispenser to do this. As you reach the bridge, look left at the wall - you can see there are a couple of circle-shaped pipes which protrude from the wall a couple of inches. It's tricky, but you can jump onto one of those pipes, stop, then jump again to get where you need to be.

The skill's ok for engies, but spies and pyros should practice until they can get this every time.

EDIT: Yeah, what B-Rabbit said. Heh,  trust a spy to know that route.

Watch that video at 5:55 (5 seconds from the end) if you want to see the jump. Thats how I learned about it.

Does anyone know how to get to the semi-circular outcrop just above that part? It's really hard to explain, but if you know how to get there, you'll know what I'm talking about.

Yes. Go to the top-left area from the spawn, walk along until you're nearly at the outcrop you mentioned. From there, it's easy if you build a dispenser and jump off the top of it - it may be possible without, I haven't tried it yet - there is a narrow ledge you can use to get around.

Thanks for your help, Next time I play Goldrush should be fun.

here you go monkey

I managed to try this once. By the time I joined up we only had twenty seconds left of setup time, I didn't manage to get up there, and soon enough Blue came wading through destrorying everything, we had pretty crappy defence all round that game.

So I found an empty server playing goldrush to practice in, I've got it all working now. Thanks.

Thanks, I've already got it working now, but I'm sure that'll come in very helpful to other people looking to get up there.
