0:21 note from veteran dwarves: although this weapon is ridiculously powerful, we all know relying on one trick on weapon for everything is for pointy ear leaf lovers. True miners use every tool at their disposal to their maximum potential.

Leaving this here for future reference: on the second build, the turret EMP chance is related to the Stubby's electrocution chance. Therefore, you need to take the electrocution chance up in the first mod slot if you want to reliably trigger the discharge. Edit: the discharge also has a 1.5 second cooldown, so I recommend gemini turrets and all 2 on the stubby to fully lean in on the amount of electrocution status effect you will be applying.

I haven't heard a "will it blend?" refrence in literal years. I'm glad someone else remembers it

You had me at: "OVERWHELMING AND UNREASONABLE FORCE"

Um, this is engineer video is cool and all but I'm not sure why your copy of Team Fortress 2 looks different from mine?? otherwise great vid

To add to the nuke uses, throwing it on a downed ally with a bunch of glyphids praetorians and oppressors aggroed on them while you run in long circles and kite back to them has saved multiple runs for my team. Clears out a heap of enemies clustering on the downed ally, and the radiation is gone by the time I get back.

10:20 "Why are we here, management? Just to suffer?"

this is such an underrated channel I swear

Speaking of nukes don't tell management but.... Steve borrows your passive perks and having friendly and elemental insulation makes him near invincible to them and drillers.

FINALLY someone that doesn't have a hard on for minor adjustments and appreciates the whip.

Surprised I didn't hear anything similar to my favorite set-up, where I basically turn the game into tower defense. Stubby voltaic with turret arc, 23222 Deepcore fat boy, 21212 Gemini turrets, 1132 Proximity mines This playstyle comes with near undisputed area denial, as you can set up electrical barbed wire between your turrets AND ANY OTHER DWARF'S TURRETS. Works like an electric version of a sticky flame wall, slowing down even larger targets to a near stop. If they aren't crawling through the line and walking on the ceiling, stick your mines up there. Macteras? Target them with Hawkeye pings, the turrets have enough ammo you can wait for the line to wear off. Can't set up your turrets fast enough? No one survives a nuclear blast and the fallout is further denial. I may wear a beard but I'm a Krieg Korpsman at heart.

Heyyyyy! So I had to reupload this video because the media encoder managed to slip some missing footage in without me noticing... again. This is probably why I shouldn't upload at 3 in the morning but oh well. Ill just check through extra careful from now on! Just wanted to say thank you for the encouraging comments on the previous scuffed version of the video! Its awesome you guys commented so fast and Im sad I had to send those comments to the shadow realm along with the other video! Il recap a few of the highlights from the lost comments section to recapture the magic in HD: 1. Green Praetorian smoothies are good for growing dwarves. 2. Thought TRTLS pointed out that the sentry EM charge is likely finicky because it relies on your electrocution chance on your stubby, which is slightly reduced on this one. Interesting point I had never considered and could be toyed with to eek out a bit more EM bursts. 3. Fat Boi is the best Overlock. 4. Rock and Stone!

I like using a build similar to the one at 7:37, but with PGL with RJ250 Compound (grenade jump) overclock. Not only is it a blast to fly around like that but I become a quasi scout, able to quickly travel vertical distances. I built it for solo play but it's become my go-to for anything not a salvage or escort mission.

While the breach cutter is cool, I just love the thunk of the grenade launcher and the feeling of the impact

yeah i’m subbing. just picked up this game and you’re actually the bests.

For anyone coming back to this during season 2, Hyper Propellent works WONDERS on Nemeses!

Funny thing about the word decimate. It means “to reduce by 10%”

If you have a driller on mini-mule repair missions, you can have driller dig the comms array and fuel tank into the ground, cover hole, then just launch Fat Boy at entrance; extremely effective, even at Haz 4-5

As a player who just cant play other classes - i am extremly happy to try some of this builds. Nice work.

I think spinning death is one of the most fun overclocks for the engi❤ I love blending things with it.

I made a spreadsheet with your builds to use as a reference as I continue to collect overclocks. They're a great motivator, and I appreciate the effort you've put into presenting all the builds. Engineer is my most played class so I was really looking forward to this vid. Also, I find I'm playing the gunner a lot more due to your vid on that class. Rock and Stone!

Excellent guide. I was sticking to one single build and this gives you ideas for variety! :)

Neat, definitely gotta check some of these loadouts out. I reccomend the Heat damage option when using the Fat Man OC for the PGL.. nothing quite like radiation+fire for everything caught in the blast radius

1:58, I had this before watching and it is so good

Love the music, makes me feel like I'm playing Final Fight while learning wonderful tactics. Well presented info. Love it.

Great channel, man. Keep up the good work! Some creative and useful builds right there

13:56 That's not a grenade launcher, it's a 40mm anti-material Derringer, one shot, one big ass bullet, and a lot of dead Oppressors, Praetorians, and Bulk Detonators. Rock and Stone miner! I love it!

The second build you showcase has been a favorite of mine for a while, I affectionately call it the Meat Grinder. Very niche, but it's my favorite thing to take with me on any mission where I know I'll have to be holding my ground, and an absolute must on savage ops where my driller likes bunkering EDIT: Also, I have clipped and webm'd 7:31.5 to 7:37 for my own personal pleasure. It is too beautiful to pass up. I'll make sure to give credit whenever I show it to people

These are really fun sounding, can't wait to give them a try!

"...Not just killing enemies but removing terrain and teammates as well" fixed that bit about the fat boy for you.

I just found this channel and have been watching all these build videos and they’re great. That MGSV reference made me so happy.

been waiting on this one for awhile and can honestly say I was not disappointed ,high quality video and obvious passion for different and fun playstyles which the games lends itself too congrats bro !!

The hyper propellant overclock is the sniper rifle of DRG, i swear. I also agree that with enough improvements to the choke, the warthog can perform extremely well at long range.

It’s also really effective to combo the nuke with the lore grenade. You can sometimes bring the whole room of enemies into the radiation field and hold them there, even oppressors stand in it with lore. The nuke is also great at killing the parasites on BET-C when she stops walking and goes into machine gun mode. It also works surprisingly well on the omen tower machine event as long as no one gets too close to the tower.

"This will make short work of anything that doesn't need *OVERWHELMING AND UNREASONABLE FORCE* for those that do..."

That mess up while talking about cycle overload was right, we should worship thy cycle overlord.

I love how you said "No I'm not sorry" at 8:29

One day, a long time ago, a wise man said... "Engineer gaming!!"

This video is an absolute godsend! Thanks man!

This was a breath of fresh air in every way.

I've been using your 2nd B build for a month now and I've never seen any of your videos before. As someone who is absolutely in love with it, I can't wait to try the other ones out.

Thank you for the 30 second video! I appreciate it!

I installed yesterday... I want the sparky smg, great guide, ill understand it someday! ROCK AND STONE BROTHER

I kind of like the prox fuse on the Fat Boy, and the only time I've had it bounce was when I found out that the Ommoran Beamers do not trigger the explosion.

Can wait to turn my breach cutter into a blender once I get the overclock

The nuke was a meme build? Huh, the more you know. I haven't played in the recent update so there might of been some changes but I honestly love the nuke with my set up. Which includes more ammo for the shotgun, some mines, gemini turrets, and the bug repellent for the platforms all to make some kind of home made dwarf fortress where I can control where the bugs go and deny them with certain areas. It's a straight I love in things like point extractions.

7:27 bruh, you’re just the best lmao! ♥️

These are great builds I'm new to DRG and man o man do I love this game and it's community

breachcutter reminds me of the BFG 10,000 from doom eternal

The Boss reference caught me off guard, love it

I think its quite surprising that you arent using more defender systems. I am really enjoying the various builds you have posted!

Here's an idea. Warthog with stunner oc, 1 1 3 2 2. Breach cutter with spinning death oc with 1 1 1 2 1. And lure. Here's how it works. Lure breach cutter which stuns enemies for a dmg buff on the warthog and an explosive finish to clear out and remaining bugs. It's op as frick.

"Will it blend? That is the question." Lol

With Fat Boy you're actually forced to go for max Radius and Damage, it says so on the box the grenades come in.

Dude your video is awesome! def deserve more views and subs

Coming to this video a while after it was posted and i wanna list my engineer build. This build is good for general purpose, but i originally designed it with caretakers in mind. It has good long range capabilities, it wonderful against chaff (swarmers, naedocytes, shredders etc), and overall allows the engineer to be far more mobile and less reliant on his turrets in general due to a simple fact: EVERYTHING HAS SOME FORM OF SLOWDOWN, STUN, OR FEAR EXCEPT THE PLATFORM GUN. this gives your engineer the ability to keep bugs away from him most of the time, something engineer kinda has a problem with if he isnt planted next to his turrets. Loadout: Lok-1: 22223 oc: nuero-lasso Built for swarms this thing will slow down their advance and even turn some away when you release a burst or the occasional tap fire. Shard diffractor: 21113 oc: overdrive booster Built for big targets, this thing will slow bulk detonators and even ghosts to a crawl. The extra heat mod lets you save some ammo too, just ignite and look away. the oc gives you tons of ammo and is great in a pinch where dps is everything. Grenade: shredders. They slow things down too! Turrets: 1121. Good damage and the occasional stun keeps things nice and slow. Platform gun: classic 212. The repellant is great for salvage missions. Armor: 1213. Simple. When facing a caretaker with this, just build yourself a platform pancake stack inbetween 2 arms and plop each sentry on the sides (within arms reach of course) pointing at the arms. This way you always have something chipping away at them and can peak out when its time to hit the floating pyramid itself. Also, the diffractor is wonderful for stationary turrets.

I cant wait to see the PT.2 Vids for your favorite loadouts for the new weapons

The pretorians with extra steps got me.

14:45 I'm gonna turn everything above you shoulders into a fine red mist!

Holy smokes. I’ve never clicked the subscribe button faster in my life. Rock and Stone Brother!

"Will it blend" top quote

My friend plays engi a lot, my best memory was running to the escape pod on low health getting rushed down by a load of glyphids, and when the end was in sight I saw a hyper propellent grenade fired straight into my skull.

So what you're saying is that BREACH CUTTER. 😂 Bro great video!

I use LUREs in addition to Fat Boy. After I launch a nuke, I'll sometimes throw one deep into the fallout to send even more bugs to their death.

Good vid 👍

Spining death + armot breaking is very fun and goofy. I dont see too much value from stuns and i like seeing praetorians getting stripped. Helpful for teammates as well

That Hyper Propellant PGL build looks amazing. Gonna have to try that sometime.

Classes 1-4, and 6: we have unique and interesting play styles that bring some new flavor to engineer! Class 5: *laughs in 40mm railgun*

hah lol, I always use fatboy. It takes special talent to make your team fail an elite deep dive at the end of the final stage.

This video terrifies me. The engineer I play with does more trolling than good most times. I really don't want him to get the nuke launcher that is going to be horrible.

Breach cutter.. Yeah, I just can't get the good angle. I either go with the nuke tube in One direction and set my turrets up looking the other with the stick of grenades on the wall behind me and loki with explosive electric penetration. Super efficient, No ammo being wasted on bugs. Dying to the radiation. Also, the laser build for killing a whole bunch of bugs is always fun.

I have really been loving 6:13 loadout C. I will say it’s a lot of fun to use, but I find myself needing to be careful, since ammo can be a problem if used to much. For both veterans and green-beards alike, this is a fun loadout to use.

13:55 you should call this build the Death Star

The 11121 PGL build is godly with a 21111 LOK1 Executioner loadout. You completely cover every option except for dreadnoughts.

Why do you only have 1k subscribers? I just can’t get it So much good content man Keep it up!

Came back for a second comment because that will it blend joke got me good man lmao I subbed immediately and without remorse

Engineer with cutter on escort missions is just gold.

My default loadout before the new guns from management has been the railgun and a full auto warthog with mini shells. It's fun to just vomit out shells at swarms and then delete a praetorian across the cave.

Quality content, you could have 50k subs this time next year if you can keep the quality consistent.

You forgot about the rj250 compound overclock for the pgl combined with cycle overload for the shotgun with maxed damage

Was that a fucking "will it blend" reference?! I love you. Sub

The real 8k IQ play here is having 2 loadouts per slot. I've just been swapping between dreadnaught and general builds but this offers way more flexibility! I'd love to see your builds for the new (primary, I think?) weapons whenever they drop. Awesome video, can't wait for more! ⚒

I've found an overclock that tightens the spread and increases weak point damage but lowers ROF. going for 2 on the last row counteracts the lost ROF which can help against swarms of enemies.

600th subscriber! Keep it up my dude you’re doing a great job!

I use something pretty close to your third build most of the time with the major difference being I use turret whip, and my fat boy is specced entirely for max area coverage. Most time is spent cycling turrets, abusing whip, and using nukes to clear larger new spawns and to completely deny choke points, and noting the friendly perk, in an absolute pinch itll save swarmed team mates and or give a clean opening for gunner to get in and shield rez. I literally cant think of a more powerful build for escort, and it works pretty well on most others except dreadnaut missions where its usually a bad idea to bring nukes. Especially on high haz infested escort missions, being able to kill literally upwards of 50 bugs in a single shot in the tunnels is an absolutely insane felling, and the shocked looks I get from the other miners is always priceless taking advantage of the momentary peace resulting from the entire tunnel behind us being bathed in radiation for 15 seconds

Back at it again with the good ass videos

Why have I never heard of this game? This looks awesome!

you'll haft to prie my mega mini-nuke form my radieated dead hands

Not sure if this has been pointed out (it probably has), but your build centered around the Turret EM Discharge has a small problem. The reason the discharge just "sometimes won't go off" is because the bullets have to proc the electricity effect. Taking the higher electricity chance in tier one gives you a natter chance your bullets will electrify, giving you a better chance of making the Discharge go off. Still though, I find it needs an average of three bullets to cause it

The bridge cutter is fine I admit but mini nukes. That’s all I have to say.

I don't know if you know this but the build that uses the turret em discharge overclock can be used more effectively against swarms. If you take the mod on tier 1 (stubby smg) that increases the chance of the electricity, your turrets will set off the discharge more often since the electricity % also applies to the turrets but only if you are using the turret em discharge oc or the turret arc oc.

12:49 was slick as fuck

Could you make a video on some builds revolving around how to deal with certain bio zones? I often find myself confused around different cave complexities with different bio zones.

Also, dunno if this has been fixed yet, but the armor-break mod on the PGL is bugged to hell and back, as far as I’m aware. Best to either run faster nades for Nukes and maybe for Hyperprop, and napalm for everything else until they make it actually deal with armor plates.

Em discharge is based on electrocution and can very well work as its own weapon if you use gemini

Enginuity, nice one

Once you go Hyper Propellent and Fat Boy for PGL, there's no going back...

With the PGL AOE build you could use cycle overcharge on the warthog for when Dreadnoughts arrive.

You don't understand, Karl. I'm already a demon. Say it, one more time. For old time's sake.

7:34 the GF is mad at me for bursting out in laughter at 2am.🤦🏽‍♂️
