Not so long ago I realise how good turrets are at exterminating small enemies, such as swarmers, naedocytes and rockpox lavras. It may sound obvious, but placing turrets with intention to kill them will save your team a lot of ammo and health. Tip for non-engineers: assist in building turrets whenever you can. If engies have gemini with larger ammo pool, they have to spend 8 seconds to deploy them for themselfes, which can be critical.

Understand your equipment and overclocks once you get them. Bug repellent on platform gun can cause some interesting thing's or problems because most don't take the time to understand it. Bug's will avoid it unless it's inconvenient to do so. You can test this with Molly because she uses the same AI as bug's so she will also avoid bug repellent platforms as well. This is why she will sometimes take vary odd paths or go away from you at time. Bug's will travel twice the distance of a platform to get to you. If it would require more then that they will ignore it. You can also stack the effect. Place a platform on top of the first and the distance bug's are willing to travel will be equal to it. If you are however standing on said platform they will ignore all platforms connected to it and just bee line it for you

Something very important to note for the ammo efficiency for engineer is understanding that you have insane ability to use up your ammo. Engineer probably has the largest total damage pool of any class (basically if you multiply the ammo ammo by the damage of their weapon and add it all up including turrets it beats out other classes) and as such as better ammo pool than everyone except maybe driller who can get really good efficiency with stuff like sticky flames. But at the same time, because of the sentry guns, especially if you’re running the two sentries, you can use your ammo up incredibly fast. As such it’s important for engineer, perhaps even more so than other classes, to be efficient with how you use your ammo. Make sure if there’s a big horde of grunts you use whatever aoe you have. If there’s some swarmers or shockers maybe you just let turrets kill them since they auto aim and don’t use any of your primary ammo. If the wave is pretty manageable, don’t try to do all the damage, let your team contribute as well so you’re not having to call a reapply when everyone else is 3/4 ammo. And on the flip side, if there’s no reason to hold back or stuff is getting difficult, don’t be afraid to use all your assets. If it’s the end of escort mission you can probably have both turrets up and be shooting away and you might burn ammo quick, but you’ve got like 4 resupplies anyway so it doesn’t matter. If there’s a swarmageddon mission that has a bulk and swarm come, don’t be afraid to have both turrets down to cover your team from the swarm while you unload your primary and secondary ammo into the bulk and other enemies. Engineers are basically the only class that has levels to how much they can increase their damage output and can scale it depending on the situation, so learn to use that. Oftentimes when learning engineer it can feel like you’re constantly low on ammo. As you get better about knowing how much to throw at the enemies, what weapons to use, and how much to leave to your teammates, you’ll find you can be just as ammo efficient or more so than the other classes, and you have the ability to increase your total volume of fire at will when the situation calls for it.

Excluding scout I'd say the other's can be very ammo efficient if you build for it and understand your weapon's. Like you said Diller has sticky flames but that's not killing big things any time quick. Gunner's auto cannon can also be vary ammo efficient and often times can skip a resupply because of it. Something fun but tricky to pull off with engineer if you get the chance is dual turret with EM stubby. Build turrets fully (yes fully) then shoot them one after another. The blast from the turrets is 50 damage that's 100 damage ever 1.5 seconds to anything with in 7 meters of the turret

Gunner is very good at just making very high threat situations like a bulk detonator approaching a drilldozer or uplink back off with the shield, giving time to kill it and overall being very good at just kinda carrying the entire situation if stuff goes bad as the shield is just an easy revive or keep the team alive button, unless q'ronars decide to hang out. Driller has basically the best crowd clear without any overclocks and the axes are a very good single target dmg thing. And probably the 2nd best overall mobility as you can basically always go anywhere you want by just digging without any issue, Engineer often can go quicker but driller is just a lot more consistent.

One of my favorite things to do with the platform gun is on salvage missions. If you build a circular roof just low enough over the objective, trijaws cant hit you. This is because trijaw projectiles travel in an arc, going UP before falling back down to their target. So by putting a roof up theres a higher chance the trijaws will just miss you and hit the roof. Makes things alot easier, especially if you have repellent platforms because then you dont have bugs coming from above. And of course my favorite thing to teach as an engie is how to properly platform up an omen tower. Its always heartwarming to teach a greenbeard engie how to make those damn things easier.

Call Back all placed turrets and count your platform gun ammo. There is the likelihood of: -1 Dealing with a Bulk within a death pit, and the potential to get bombarded by enemies at the same time... -2 A Scout teammate has succumbed to enemies on a higher ground. your teammate is on a solid ground, but very hazardous for manoeuvrability ... -3 A driller got humbled by the rockpox terrain mid drilling. Your choices are between deepcore/breachcutter, proximity mines/LURE for safety and/or simple gimini turrets for backup during revival -4 *ALL OF THE ABOVE*

I feel like the title is a bit misleading. This is a ”learn to play engi for the first time” and not ”learn to master engi” Some things I’d include in such a video: - prioritize finding nitra (and minerals) and placing platforms for scout every time as soon as you enter a new room. This keeps up the flow of the game. - place platforms in odd places where you might think it can be needed for others if you’re staying in an area (getting over obstacles, making jumps across gaps possible). This makes it more safe and smooth to traverse during horde. - place ”random” platforms at the bottom of where there are high ledges. This definitely saves people from dying even if you don’t notice it The good things in the video is that you build turrets when you enter a room/swarm is up/explode a normal broot nexus. Also that you use your ammo efficiently but that goes with any class.

Experience with how the scout works is essential to knowing how to provide good platforms in challenging situations. So many times I've had engineers place them too close to a ceiling, rendering them useless (in that scenario, often it takes a couple platforms to build out enough for a scout to be able to stand on them). Also a good idea to practice with long range platforming to learn the drop. I pretty much platform EVERYTHING, as weapon ammo is almost always the limiting factor for my build, not platforms.

I dont think I have ever gotten out gunned by a gunner. They have good sustained fire, but engie is better with multiple targets. If built correctly, engie can target or apply damage to large groups of bugs and have it be devastating. Gemini system, SSG, and shard defractor with volatile impact OC paired with any primary can achieve haz 5 full stack crowd clear solo with ease. I personally like to use all this with turret arc on stubby. When doing an escort mission in particular. You can lock down the entire tunnel with no support. But you got to know when to fall back and reestablish a new choke point. Bugs will eventually push thru, plus swarms spawn along with Dotty, so if ur not careful, u will get pinched between 2 groups of bugs and put ur team in a hair situation to revive u. Stubby is often underappreciated for its flexibility. Shotty is good as well, but stubby out classes it in flex its flexibility, it's a slept on weapon among engie mains in my own opinion. Might not have the raw burst damage like Lok1 and shotty, but its CC and sustained DPS makes up for it.

I'm so confused, Haz 5 I can outkill the entire team combined even if they are good. Nuke, 2 turrets, super high damage shotty. It can 1 shot spitters across a room, the 2 turrets will absolutely decimate hordes of enemies, SSG is nice but proxy mine can kill dozens each, use extra plats to control the flow of enemies directly where you want them. Lastly adjust your position to fit the room and spawns, any spot is fine but the best spots can turn you into a god of death wiping entire waves as they spawn. PS. Spawns happen out of sight if possible and a certain distance away, this can help you narrow down where the waves will come from.

On refinery missions if there isn't a good spot to set up the turrets I'll use platforms to access the side arm of the the refinery and climb up on top. Melee bugs can't reach you, the turrets have good fields of fire, and you can hop down easily. If there is a good defensible spot, but it's out of the way, I find it's sometimes worth detouring a pipeline a little to improve access when a swarm comes.
