You are probably going to get a lot of people telling you to switch away from armor break to heat damage on the PGL. Be ready for that lol.
Mainly because heat doesn't lose you any damage and can overheat bots instantly, whereas the armor breaking is bugged, and only takes off armor, not penetrating through the armor to do full damage as is the main point of armor breaking.
Crazy how they still haven't fix that
yeah it's been around for a while@@abilawaandamari8366
Wait, that’s how armor breaking is supposed to work? I thought it was just for destroying armor
@@ocomolinaehain1795 it's supposed to also damage enemies through the armor (in most cases). The PGL hyperprop armor break, which doesn't damage through armor, is extremely irrelevant. You either kill the target regardless (like guards) or need 2 shots for things like brundles. It doesn't matter if their armor is gone. The only situation in which the current improper armor break of the hyperprop might do something, is against the twins, and praetorians. In those cases, it might beneficial to break the armor for follow up shots. But against Praetorians, the pgl has so much fear, than 90 percent of the time the first shot will make the Prae turn and run away from you regardless, so armor break wont do anything for you.
All in all, extra fore damage to finish off almost damaged enemies, and to be op against bots it's WAY better than an almost non-existent benefit that the bugged armor breaking gives you.
Well I had no idea about the armor break mechanic. Thank you for explaining that, I will be immediately switching.
I think all the other comments beat me to it. If you find that you have a ton of ammo left over for shotty before resupplies, use a stronger overclock instead of mini shells. The extra ammo doesn't help when you have to use 2 or 3 or more to kill a grunt. Magnetic pellet alignment actually can help time to kill because of the boon to weakpoint hits, let's you stun, and can help you land turret hits at longer distances.
Oh and maybe one day they'll fix the armor break bug on grenade launcher. However, if you run the incendiary mod on hyper prop, one shotting sentinel bots and caretaker tentacles feels really, really satisfying.
They just fixed the armor break bug on GL with this February patch :D
Cool build, definitely going to try it out! Though I think that Light-Weight Magazines could potentially be better for your shogun due to the cooldown on turret whip. Otherwise great!
You did a great job at making a build with all the upgrades/overclocks I hate and combining them into something I like the idea of, congratulations.
pretty solid build, the one shown seems to completely maximize the utilization of turret whip. In my opinion, the breech cutter is a more versatile option as a generalist weapon because it combines single target damage against stuff like praetorians with crowd control and ammo efficiency.
I have a build I call the flying stunner, running warthog with stunner OC and grenade launcher with RJ250 OC. Disabled inertia inhibitor is a must. This build is great for point extraction cos of the mobility.
It's always a good day when you post it's an even better day when I realize that the video is basically a carbon copy of my own favorite engi build and I now feel vindicated knowing that I can use this video as proof that my build is better than my friends.
It’s a fun, unique build for casual haz 4 though still far from being the “ultimate” build but i guess you needed something for the title.
I agree, I think Explosive Chemical Rounds LOKI is much better generalist weapon than the shotgun, not to mention Mini Shells seem like worse-than-nothing overclock.
Breach Cutter or Shard diffractor seems more flexible than Hyper Propellant is too.
I can see the build struggling with self defence against harder pushes/ambushes.
@@morgang4717 oh yeah. Hyper prop gets overrun if you have shotgun and not loki.
This looks like a ton of fun to be had.
my issue with this build is, if your turret isn't down you are fucked.
During turret whip, the turrets don't stop firing regular bullets. Use Gemini and Defender System. If you're worried about coverage, have 2 facing each other and bam you have 360° coverage with better ammo economy AND dps than a single upgraded Mk2 turret
Ah the build I had on my Engi for a long time early on in the Game’s life. It’s a very solid general build. That can deal with any situation. There might be a few differences cause I went full auto to just pump lead into a big if I wanted to. And the hyper propellant was an instant boss destroyer that comes in clutch.
Nowadays I switch weapons around and prefer other combos to get the most damage out of engi. But this is probably the best build for beginners.
Interestingly enough this is almost the exact build I use as my "generalist" Engineer. It's nice to have some validation that the build works and it works in the role I use it in. I unfortunately don't have Minishells yet, but at least now I know what I should use as my overclock.
Difference in my build is one that somebody has already pointed out is that I use heat instead of armour break.
I also tend to prefer grenades other than lure and a more active double sentry setup but for general swarm control lure does seem better.
Great video!
This is very well made
3:23 oh shoot, I have that… one of the first I got in fact… beauty.
i love engeneer, but your build is insanely good) easy and effective to play
Cant wait to try it 😊
I just started using this build recently (except with extra platforms since repellent does nothing, and fire grenade since armor doesn't work.) And it's actually made engineer fun! It really dosent have ammo issues and the only weakness is the turret setup. But this is my first time with turret whip and it's so good! Even the shotgun feels good enough for most cases on haz3.
Insect repellant does work, you probably just need to watch a video on how it works. It works as a deterrant, not a 100% cure for bugs.
For example you can make bugs walk around them so they get clumped up in choke points.
But you can't use them to stop them entirely. You have to leave a hole in the lines, or else the bugs will ignore them.
@@bluedistortions Even if that were true, having extra platforms has saved me more times than being able to move bugs a bit more. (It's also why lures are one of the worst grenades compared to the sheer damage of shredders)
I use a very similar build, but instead of warthig I use LokI and Explosive chemical rounds
Nice build
I like dual whipping turrets and hyper propellant.
One horde clearer and the other disintegrate pretorian.
Could you Maybe make a video for the bet bulls for Bosco for each class I’m trying to figure it out the best Bosco build for the engineer, also I was wondering about a video on a good build for each of the engineers primary and secondary weapons like the smog and the breach cutter
Hyper propellant is a fantastic Overclock. I do though want to get Fat Boy and RJ250 Compound and try those out, but this build is pretty good. It gives me the idea that this is the “Gigachad Engineer” build, for giggles obviously.
all 3 are great.
Stubby 11211 w/ Em Refire Booster- short/med range and electrical dmg over time. Electrocute large enemies and run away if needed
Shard Defract 21111 for precision. Melts mostly anything and kills spitballers before they shoot on haz4
This build works wonders for ammo efficiency and is great if you are good at hitting weakspots. Stubby works better by bursting instead of rapid fire
I feel like this one is well-balanced overall for most missions. Still prefer Loki with ECR and breach for dreadnaught missions. Explosions work well on Hiveguard
uh
pressure wave was bugged
it still is and has next to no value
heat also but in a beneficial way where you just gain heat in addition to your dmg instead of converting half of your dmg to heat(only for hyper prop)
so yeah heat is better
Could you maybe make a video for the best Bosco build for each class because I play as the engineer and I’m trying to make a good build for Bosco for the engineer class
It's not far off from what I use. Basically the same except I use the shard detractors with overdive booster. A little more forgiving with accuracy and ammo on bigger targets with the option to use it to quickly clear swarms if turrets arent up or shooting in the right direction. I didn't just unlock hyper propellent so I may have to compare later...
I currently use volatile impact laser if it's not elimination, I like having some extra swarm management because I keep forgetting to place sentries down, but the laser is really fun. I can also draw amongus on the wall
@seannosoup haven't unlocked that one yet, will have to give it a try when I get it
Using it right now
Very good build, but I use cycle overload instead of mini shells.
u didnbt always have that intro musioc right? last videos i always thought of dashcam drivers germany cause they got the same intro sound
My go to Eng build atm is: Loki w/ Executioner 11112 and Shard w/ Volatile Impact 31113. Great mix of killing big things, dealing with swarms (esp with Dash) and of course Shredder Grenades.
I have a very similar build. I usually go with ECR on the Loki though because it's more fun for me. Such a great build for protecting teammates.
i'm borrowing this one; instead of saying deals "metric ton", I'm saying deals "imperial pounds" of dmg so Americans can understand me
stubby is kinda meh but the emp overclock it gets is so powerful it makes the gun worth it.
Lok1 is also giga busted with explosive chemical rounds or executioner.
Both of these are much stronger alternatives to the shotgun imo.
Use the stubby build with emp and breach cutter for solo, its by far and away the easiest way in the game to complete elite deep dives alone imo.
If youre playing multiplayer id just take a build that sort of fills the gaps, engi can do whatever you want it to do with the right build, the other classes have very obvious weaknesses usually.
This build seems ok overall but id swap mini shells for stunner or something at least. Mini shells is almost never worth it imo, its kind of a downgrade even.
What's are the recommended drone modifications for this build?
If you mean mods for bosco it really is up to you. I tend to just max out the revive charges and not really focus on anything else specifically since this build is meant to be played in a group anyway.
multiplies it a thousand times over
What would be a good build for Bosco if your playing as the engineer
Edit: could you maybe make a video about the best Bosco behold for each class
I meant build not behold
ok first Mini shells sucks if you want ammo Warthog go lightweight mags with the tier 2 ammo its basically the same total damage with much better 1-2 shot reliability essialy since turret wip never takes that much ammo anyway. take heat with hyper prop its just better and stun also helps. as for turrets Mostly take Gemni and always take defender rest is prefances hawkeye isnt that good even with turret wip. As for the 'Ulitimate' engi build the meta for moded hazards is usailly 11112 Exectioner Lok1 with inferno or the Light-Weight Cases Cases11122 Breach cutter with any grenades and Harkeye with defender systems and grenade is prefenace. alternate meta primary builds included 12321 Stunner/Magnetic Pellet Alignment Warthog, 21221 Turret EM Discharge Stubby, 21111 ECM Lok-1 as for secondaries 23122 Stronger Plasma Current Breach Cutter, 31111 Volatile Impact Reactor Shard Diffractor, 11131 Rj250 PGL and hyper propellant 21131 PGL
You are both wrong and only I know the true META OP GIGA CHAD build. But I won't tell you, or the CZcamsr. You aren't worthy so keeep playing your suboptimal beginner build, pah
@@hah-vj7hc does it involve Fat boy by any chance?
@@yeetman1344 It's clearly the Breach Cutter with the new-and-improved Roll Control, the true patrician's choice.
@@packaged_goods true Roll control is pretty good now
A decently fun build. But ultimate engineer? Nah, no way! Its pretty shit tbh :D
I can't find myself playing an aggressive engineer
I go full defense with turrets facing one way
Nuke the other way
Sticky grenades on wall behind me
And smart rifle electric penetration explosive rounds for whatever is getting through that
Although, there are some enemies that are really tacky to this build, so bring friends.
@@matthewboyd8689 Yeah, Engi really isnt made to play offensive at all in that manner. Its designed to hold down the fort cutting down massive numbers of enemies.
Loki with 22121 and ECR-oc combined with Cutter and 23112 and either rolling control or ammo oc will straight murder everything in a manner this build even cant dream of.
@@Gundolf300 yeah, mostly big stuff this build can't handle.
I start shooting something that's not going down and I start screaming for gunner because I know either he will get it, or he will be picking me up.
For the life of me I can't remember what it's weaknesses are, like I vaguely remember it actually being decent for oppressors but trash for spitballers.. and especially the whale thing that spawns jellyfish.
So satisfying to use fat boy and Loki penetration rounds.
Makes me feel like CoD Zombies getting them lined up and having a self hazard wonder weapon that can do the job like wonders if you know how to not kill yourself in the process.
What grenade does one use with this build?
You can really use whatever one you want as it isn't that crucial. I was running the shredders and it was going fine.
BTW guys this build is definitely for the experienced,
mini shells are not that great, build needs self defense vs slashers and mini shells cant even one shot grunt from 5 meters. better take EM discharge or any other oc shotgun
It’s hard to take any “Best” Engineer build seriously which doesn’t use the Breach Cutter.
Being different can be “Cute”. But don’t try to reinvent the “Best” wheel.
Breach Cutter. Get you one!
dude. 4 minutes before getting to the build, you couldve put all your explanations after it.
That’s the beauty of it. You can make your own video
