My buddy and I just picked up DRG in the past week and can attest to the synergy between scout and engineer. I love the high mobility of the scout and my buddy enjoys the puzzle aspect of how to build platforms and set up turrets most effectively. Love your content and look forward to more!
My friends a driller we do a bunker tactics he drills a safe room and i block it with my platform gun and place sentrys in the safe roomand we wait out swarms when the swarm is done i place 2 lures in the bunker and we drill out from the side and as soon as we see the hoarde he uses a c4 and i clean up with the breach cutter
The thing I unexpectedly love about the sentries is that they start shooting at things I haven't seen yet. I then turn and start killing the critters that were sneaking up behind me.
Nice strategy I set mine up defender style to one way, trip mines high on wall behind, and nuke the rest Makes it so my turrets don't waist ammo on nuked targets Oh, and the explosive penetration rounds for stragglers and everything else
tip for newbies: if you're low level, throw the grenade hologram and run a bit. The bugs will gather around the hologram and that's when you fire the grenade launcher. Super effective.
And my favorite part about them is that the upgrades are mostly homebrew. With nails+tape the Engie basically turns the pgl's explosive into a scrap bomb. The breach cutter was originally meant to be used for mining, Engie turned it into a weapon of mass destruction. The Shard defractor _had_ limits put on it by R&D, Engie loosened a screw and put an aluminum ball between the battery and the capacitor to circumvent those limits. The boy is a dwarvish craftsman at work.
You didn't explain how to play engineer though. You just talked about the weapons and utils. You didn't explain repellants AT ALL which is the most useful thing in Engi's kit. You didn't explain how to set up your turrets in a cave properly with defensive system. You didn't explain that the role of your primary and your secondary is swapped in that very often you will use your primary for big targets and secondary for swarms. Very lazy video and bad guide.
To be very clear about the turrets, if you want the most out of the MKII Gun Platform upgrade, pair it with "WIDEMOUTH REFILL PORT" and "HAWKEYE SYSTEM." If you want even more value, use " EXPANDED AMMO BAGS" *or* "HARDENED ROUNDS".
I always take quick setup. It's what makes turrets viable for me in the first place. I love how aggressive Engi can be and it let's me use turrets as extra dps whenever I need it.
For MK2, I go with Quick Deploy, Expanded Ammo Capacity, and Hawkeye; ideal for missions where you have to move around more than defend, and attack targets such as Dreadnoughts. As for Gemini, I go with Expanded Ammo Bags, Stun, and Defender; makes sense for missions where defending an objective is more important, and you'll have enough time to set up your turrets before a swarm arrives.
@@TheTraveler980 I always take defender. The limited fov is actually an upside and damage is more useful than range. It let's me focus the Turret fire on specific areas, giving me more control and more utility. No more wasting time and ammo on bugs that aren't an issue yet.
Wondering why you aren't using the turre whip on shotgun, in my opinion it's the strongest thing about it and it adds more versitility with the AOE it adds, and the full auto isn't that helpful because you usually want to be the most efficient with your shots, killing grunts with one headshot.
I don't use it personally because it's a pain in the ass, temporarily disabling my turrets, using up their ammo, reducing the damage they can deal because I have to use the Hawkeye System instead of the Defender System in order to be able to choose what I want to hit with the Turret Whip, requires me to have my turrets set up to get any use out of it, and when my turret ammo runs out my shotgun now has a useless upgrade on it. As for full auto, it's helpful when you're shooting literally anything other than a grunt or something with the health of a grunt. It allows you to just vomit bullets more efficiently into the ass of a Praetorian, Oppressor, or other meaty target.
@@dreamwalking You don't actually have to use Hawkeye to make good use of Turret whip. If I did what you do, I'm pretty shure I'd use full auto too. If you go for gemini and defender system, you can set them up to cover an angle and just spam Turret whip to erase swarms. They're good at taking out single grunts, so if there's not enough bugs for it to be economical, then you should be doing objective anyways. It's also a godsend against macteras. Yes, you can use the shotgun too and it does well at killing them, but turrets allow you to stay behind cover. The smaller turning angle of the turrets with defender sounds like a downside, but it allows you to direct the fire of your turrets before you're busy killing bugs.
Small tip for a new engi players the sentry uppgrade does matter the 1 sentry uppgrade gives you more dmg output in single shot but over all less dmg in long run 2 towers deal more overall dmg . To summ it up best choice it to take 1 sentry for missions like Elimination or Industrial Sabotage becose of a small amount of targets .
Wrong actually. Overall, damage per round, the MK2 does more total damage. Gemini does less total damage, but higher DPS when they're both active. It's a question of whether you want a slow burn, or want to use your turrets for burst damage
Some personal notes: PGL isn't good for single large targets like you're showing in the footage unless you're running Hyper Propellent. I believe the armor breaking mod for PGL is still buggy with its damage fall off. I don't recommend fighting on the morkite refinery or arquarq rig. Bugs can hit you through and underneath the mesh of the platform. Love the breakdown of the characters, keep it up!
@@thecatpersonuk9962 Fatboy is fun. I would lead the shot ahead of the glyphid horde to make sure they spend extra time in the radiation field. Couple it with a LURE grenade and you can keep them inside for longer.
I see engi (and prefer to play as) more as heavy damage dealer. Nukes, propelent, shard difractor, cutter. All of those deals absurd amount of damage. Turrets, that help a little bit in clearing hordes doen't make him a defencive class. Just a good bonus.
I think the turrets are kinda like an extra teammate that does the boring stuff for me. They get to support me while I kill bugs with a shotgun and a death laser.
You missed out on the fact the last upgrade in slot 1 for the Shotgun can make your Sentries Shoot a small pulse that makes the next shot or target it’s facing take a huge damaging round that has a small AOE (about a similar to the grenade launcher) It will then be steaming for the next 3 seconds before being able to do it again. The upgrade is called Turret Whip. Which is the last upgrade in slot 1 This works for both types of sentries as well as any other engineers turret/s. Best thing about it is that if you aim it right, you can hit multiple sentries with one round
I kinda feel that engie's weapons should be flipped and his secondaries become primaries. Because between a death laser and a stubby machine pistol, I know which one I use mainly
Just started with my Engineer after usually being Gunner or Driller. Very useful vid. Takes a bit more time to master him vs my other 2 characters. He seems a lot more fragile, no mass damage weapon straight out the box like the flame thrower or minigun.
Can't overstate how good "perfect accuracy at any range" is on the Core Diffuser. It'll near-instantly delete ranged enemies from any distance, and the unique recharge means you can swap to & from it as needed and know it'll always be ready to fire. It's also devastating against Oppressors and Praetorians if you can beam their weakpoints consistently, which isn't hard to do from long range, though you will burn its ammo supply fast.
small tip about engie: the platform gun has an upgrade that makes it reduce fall damage and is realy usefull, if your falling quickly switch to the platform gun and shoot it where your landing to block almost all fall damage
I haven't picked up the game yet, but I am planning to soon. But I have a question about the turrets: do they have any alternate firing modes or weapons? Of course you can upgrade them, but do they get any extra weapons like missiles, lasers, etc. Or is it just gun the whole game?
Hey look buddy, he's an engineer. That means he solves problems. Practical problems. For instance, how is he gonna stop some big mean mother-hubbard from tearin him a structurally superfluous new behind? The answer? Use a gun. And if that don't work, use more gun...
Good video, but I have one critique: If you show Upgrades and so on, could you make the Screen you cover bigger. You show an Upgrade, but the text is nearly screenfilling big. Make the description window a little smaler so you can more comfortable read it without needing to flick your head left and right across the screen. Bonus: You can more easily spot where the upgrade is in the tree. Expect from that, nice guide and Overall good Quality. I'm leaving an Like and a Sub! R&S!
Some things worth noting. PGL Tips 1: Don't worry about the damage reduction on the PGL's fire bomb mod. when clearing crowds the fire more than makes up for the loss. 2: The Armor Break Mod in the same tier is kinda bugged at the moment, since armor break doesn't apply to AOE damage, but only to the projectile itself. This makes it a bit worse than it seems. 3: Though Javarak went out of his way to not mention Overclocks. The Hyperpropellent Overclock is bugged with the aforementioned fire mod, turning it from a Trade-off to a full-on Boost in damage. Making the mod WAY better for that build than it may look at first blush.
Engineer is next on my list to promote. Its good to know its support focused. I started with scout and went on to gunner. Gunner wasnt fun until I got several upgrades into the weaponry. Now I love the gunner and I'm excited to see how engineer flows once it has access to its full upgraded toolkit
I've found that I use the secondary like a primary and vice versa. This is due to the damage and low ammo of the deep core and the high ammo and low damage of the wart hog
I friggin love the engineer. I like scout too but the smart gun got my attention and my journey to unlocking it has got me loving the engineer so so much.
Honestly my favorite class by far, though most of the weapons are missing the ammo I'd love to make room for by sacrificing other options, lol. I don't have enough overclocks yet, but I'm hoping to get the one that allows me to use my breech cutter a lot more. I ofc only ever get stuff for other classes :')
i bought the game 2H ago and Engi was the first one i choose, a little Q about perks , what perks is good to choose from the beginning, and can you undo perks when you have choose them, hope i can , i just clicked on the ones i see fit haha ,, Thanks for the Vid and here a Sub
Perks should revolve around your play style. Experiment with them and see which you like best. The perks you unlock doesn’t mean you can’t unlock or equip other perks. So no need to worry about being stuck with a perk you end up not liking.
My number one quality of life perk is always Thorns. And Born Ready, but that one's really only good when it's fully upgraded, so I would probably hold off a bit on that one. Dash is extremely popular because of just how versatile it is. It's also nice if you're running down a long tunnel to be able to do so a bit faster. But you'll be alright doing what most of us did and just picking what seems good in the moment. After playing for a while you'll have them all unlocked and can switch between them at will. Just don't forget to equip your perks at the Weapon Terminal.
