With bug repellent platforms and some other goodies, playing Engineer feels even more like a tower defense (i.imgur.com)

I main driller but I've started playing a lot more of the other classes more often because I felt bad with them. PGL + fat boy is fun but I find I do too much accidental friendly fire with it.

What I don't care for on engi are his primaries. They all feel too weak in some way. The warthog feels meh, dual SMGs don't really hit hard, and smart rifle takes a long time to lock on plus it eats ammo. So far I've been using the dual SMGs with an electric build. It works but I feel like I'd struggle on haz 5.

I use the Warthog with 1-1-2-2-1 and Magnetic Pellet Alignment. It will kill common bugs with a single shot to the mouth at decent range, has a good firing rate, and the ammo is plentiful. You can use the turret whip to get stragglers on the ceiling out of your effective reach. It does struggle a bit with larger enemies, though, I admit.
