Is it just me or is Engineer waaay better at killing poo poo than the other dwarves? Even his basic shotgun & grenade launcher will pulp bugs like nobody's business. Once you have the SMG, breach cutter, and Gemini Defender sentries, it's trivial to get as many kills as the rest of the team put together.

Serephina posted:Single Turret (& fast-setup) are much more useful when constantly repositioning the turret to use it for the electric shockwave OC thingie that the stubby has. Dualies are popular, but the most popular engi setup that I've personally seen is 'no turrets at all', drat loving slackers. I always put down my turrets the minute Mission Control reports an incoming wave, taking care to overlap their firing arcs and maximize coverage that way it's not as big a deal if I gently caress off to collect some crafting minerals or repair a cargo crate Hwurmp fucked around with this message at 01:26 on Jul 9, 2021 |

Just primary & secondary. I badly want some turret overclocks but no such luck.

so far this week Molly has: -while following me, chosen to park her tin rear end on top of a two-story-tall cave coral instead of the ground next to me -sat down right in the middle of a cramped passage blocking my escape from a swarm -knocked me off of a ledge two hundred feet in the air -pushed me into a satchel charge's blast radius as I was hitting the detonator -also her lights have all turned blood red and she keeps saying "I'm sorry Dwarve, I can't let you do that"

What's the secret to the Experimental Plasma Charger? At a glance it seems pretty useless compared to the Subata 120.

I've decided the 40mm PGL is my favorite weapon. Pulping an entire wave of grunts the second they poke their heads above ground is so satisfying.

Serephina posted:SELL ME ON CLEAN SWEEP. if all else fails don't use fire I use Clean Sweep with Fragmentary Shells, Expanded Ammo Bags, High Velocity Grenades, Nails + Tape, and Proximity Trigger. It is an instant grunt eraser at any range. I've always considered Friendly to be mandatory on Engineer, although it seems like the bigger friendly-fire risk is people walking into my Elephant Bulldog or focused M1000 shots.

The wiki says Slashers have more health than a Clean Sweep round but they can still die if they're near the center of the blast. Guards will always survive, but survivors are what your sentries & shotgun are for.

Look when you're deep underground, sometimes the shortest distance between two lines involves tunneling around a difficult obstacle or spinning 360° in place while standing on your front end

The first extra passive perk slot is in the fourth tier of the perk list, and the second slot is in the very last tier.

I think I severely underestimated Hawkeye turrets with Turret Whip. They're almost a PGL replacement all on their own.

Serephina posted:Always seemed like too much fiddling for my likes, which means when you get caught when your pants down you can't do the fiddly cool stuff and just fall over. Kinda my experience with EMP turrets; they're awesome, right up until a grunt stands between you and it and suddenly you can't trigger it anymore and have to bail. But it's a cool trick and it covers my 'aoe' needs, allowing me to do silly stuff like run hyperpropellant. So for your hawkeye turrets, you give up the good turrets, run the shotgun with turret whip (no loss), to gain PGL-lite. Fair deal, but what do you run with your free secondary slot, Spinning Death? Do you find the hawkeye wasting ammo a lot? I've just been using Light-Weight Cases so far. I guess the Hawkeyes "waste" bullets firing at bugs in between Whips, but it's either let them shoot or Whip them before they're properly locked on. IronicDongz posted:but why not run defender turrets so they actually do good damage when you're not whipping them  Defenders do much better damage than unwhipped Hawkeyes, but it's still not good damage

I like to shoot things before they fight me, wherever possible Since Whip has a cooldown, Geminis mean twice the Whipping, which is way better than the Mk2's boosts to standard shooting. That cooldown also makes 360° coverage more important. Hwurmp fucked around with this message at 04:26 on Jul 21, 2021 |

They do run out of ammo really quick under constant whips. It's also true that you're entirely dependent on the map allowing you to take advantage of that extra range.

But why? sometimes I get fed up with scouts who don't use their flares, or engineers who don't use their platforms and sentries, or gunners who spam X without stopping and then open the dread cocoon on their own, or drillers who spend the entire mission lost and then hit the escape button before anyone else is ready this time I paid the price Hwurmp fucked around with this message at 23:59 on Jul 23, 2021 |

I think you can only deconstruct pipes that aren't connected to the pumpjack yet. To build a connected pipe easier, tap E to start grinding and then hold E. You'll automatically stop at the first unbuilt section and start building it. Bosco can be ordered to build pipes too, by laser-pointing the pipe connector nearest to the refinery; he'll go all the way down the line on a single order. That's the only reason I managed to complete the mission above. Hwurmp fucked around with this message at 01:54 on Jul 25, 2021 |

I've encountered a recurring glitch where I find a core infuser, tell the whole rest of the team about it, and then at the end of the mission they all reflexively rush to slam that jolly candy escape pod button am I meant to solo the infuser events without telling anyone

I use 2 - 2 - 1 - 2 - 2, for max electrocutions. My favorite overclock is EM Refire Booster, which boosts fire rate & electric damage at the cost of reduced accuracy. Lead off with a PGL or cutter shot and use Stubby to finish off any survivors. Grunts will go down way faster if you can consistently hit them in the mouth.

I feel like I'm missing something with the autocannon. It's not bad at all, but unless I'm going up against Exploder Infestation or Swarmageddon I always feel like I do better with the minigun.

Neurotoxin is real good, yeah. I keep waffling between that and Carpet Bomber since the AoE is the obvious biggest thing that the autocannon has over the minigun, but I can't decide which one is better.

Two more guns I am failing utterly to get: the M1000 Classic and Zhukov NUK17. No matter how I build them, I either have not enough ammo or not enough damage, while doing nothing I can't do better with the GK2 and boomstick. Which of their overclocks are supposed to be good?

I think my main problem is that I'm way worse at headshotting grunts with the first M1000 shot than I am with the second or third GK2 shot.

Engineer doesn't really have a good oh-poo poo button for when things go wrong and they get overrun. They're better than any other dwarf at killing all the bugs before that can ever happen, but it requires a lot of planning & situational awareness that you don't always get time for.
