    I mean I played gunner first and he’s still my favorite but I’m close to promoting all of them for the first time. The driller is one of my favorites, but seriously, they’re all fun and they’re all strong and they’re all good. Branch out, you might enjoy it. I think it’s better to be able to competently fill any role than to lock yourself in as a dedicated main of one character.

    Gunner was my first class way back in 2018 and to this day My gunner is my highest ranked and most played class. However, I do find myself switching to the driller a lot. Where as with most classes I had to spend a little bit of time learning how to really make the most of their kit, drilling just came natural.

    I agree, the earthmover mod for the satchel charge is a must because you can terraform the arena quickly, it can open up the refinery or deposit rig on the missions where they’re present, to make fighting bugs easier, and increasing the distance they must cover to reach you.

    Some people complain about the damage done to the battlefield if you try to use it in combat. They forget that using it that way is also a liability for a power attacking scout. Or a burning hell gunner. Or a cycle overload engineer. Dont have that risk by using it in terraform purposes.

    Driller used to be my least favourite out of all the 4 classes. Though he was slow and a slog whenever i'm in the Glacials or the Bogs. Recently started using him to just promote all my classes at least once, and I've found that the driller is the final piece that brings a team together. He's probably the closest thing to a """"support"""" class in the game. He synergizes with a full team to bring out the best in all of the other classes. I've a newfound respect for the Driller, and I was wrong to doubt the strength of his utility and CC

    Well gunner gets to have 4 "get out of jail" cards in form of shields, barely any weapon downtime, ziplines that are pretty good going down and insanely good at transportation of big objects like mule legs or eggs and greatest "overall dps" (as in sustainable, ammo efficient, high dps) aaaand, if you really want to get into the detail he is your best bet in shooting down red sugar. Everyone gets to be overpowered.

    3:04 Even then, what I personally do in a case of tunnel - cocoons is place a Satchel charge, get the team into a better arena, and THEN start the fight by exploding the Satchel. Can be a bit weird with normal Dreadnaughts, but as long as they can dig it will always make the fight easier - if longer.

When I'm drilling a tunnel to reach said resources in high places, I usually miss the spot of where they are located, I have to get out of the tunnel to look at them again and make sure of where they are to then again try to lead my tunnel to them. It can be annoying sometimes
