Unless you have a premade team with a Driller who you know is going to satchel the vent phase of the Caretaker, not taking the Fat Boy for this mission type is actively hindering yourself and your team.

This. Armor Break is not very good on shotguns. LazyMaybe did a great Warthog breakdown video recently that details why this is the case. In fact, Armor Break is outclassed by other mods on most weapons, and is only actually useful on a handful of weapons/OCs, e.g. the M1000, or Big Bertha autocannon. It is also bugged on radial area damage, and does not work properly (Pressure Wave on the PGL is a dead mod, for example).

You can also drill hacksy into the ground and fill the hole with hacksy in it and leve the anteni sticking out and it will still work and this will keep the bugs away from hacksy
Must ask, you used a turret to defend against wall crawlers in the first clip, why not place repellant plats? And also, you can basically bury hacksy as long as the antenna sticks out, even platforming over the main body, gives bugs less to attack, and clearer LOS. Just curious, still new, but it's something I picked up. Edit: Also, for mining expos, OSR, and PE, I use the RL500 PGL for mobility to get around fast and go deal with pipes, nab aquarqs, or just when there isn't a need for a specialized weapon.
What are your thought on using breach cutter against caretaker, i used to prefer hyper prop but found recently i was sleeping on BC, it destroys the shield phase even if it emits the big repulsor shields and can hit the eye from anywhere so you can sit by a resupply on the other side of the cave and cheese.

how do you show where the platform is going to be placed before you use it?
my favorite setups mpa plus rj250 em discharge plus shard difractor executioner plus fat boy explosivw chemical rounds plus hyper prop
wouldnt explosive chemical round be better for the smart rifle since you can already deal with high hp bugs?
I don't think the people joining have no clue about Haz 5, you always spend some mandatory time in Haz 4 before accessing Haz 5, so they maybe just have promoted other classes first and are only missing this class
I likes to turret whip, but even without mini shells, i finds that it is very ammo consumable for the turrets.

8:35 aaand that is why specing both weapons for a single focused purpose isnt a great idea. I spec one for the task (in this case, high single target damage) and the other to balance it with more aoe for swarms. Not necessarily *all* the aoe, but enough to handle small-medium groups. This game typically doesnt throw challenges at you that a single focus build is "best against" during a mission. Case in point, random dreadnought spawns during Point Extraction. The ultimate "Oh, you dont have your high single target damage build on? Let me throw this at you" move.
The combination of HP, Homebrew and Incendiary is bugged on PGL in so far that Hombrew does nothing. Taking the stun here is advised.

Never trust that dwarf who bring executioner + hyper prop. 2 Problems with that build, no main Swarm clearing weapon. Explosive Chemical Rounds on LOK1 is a very good swarm clear, additionally u also get bonus damage from the explosion every 3 shots from the gun if u just time it right, better than executioner in this video (and because it always proc in 3 shots, the tier 3A and tier 5A are must go to choices), and u can keep the Hyper Prop. If u want to keep using the Executioner, Fat Boy is also a very good swarm clearing (obviously) and a good weapon against the caretaker's yellow health if u can aim the shot accurately (dealing about 400 damage to at maximum all 4 exposed yellow thing) Hyper Prop gain nothing from Random damage, and since u want to use it to deal with single targets, AoE is not a choice, Stun is what u should pick because it's the only good upgrade left in that tier, it can stun praetorians and wardens (if bad shots) for your primary to take care of the last bits of their health Speaking from experience of more than 16 days (762 missions completed) playing as engi

tbf he said he just brings it on dreadnought and industrial sabotage. In general this guy had some really sub optimal builds. Like using armor break rather than extra damage for tier 4 warthog, and mini shells which is kinda bad since it makes it pretty hard to one tap grunts consistently on haz 5. Also using breach cutter return to sender isn't really that great but it's the breach cutter so you can get away with pretty much anything anyways.

It takes 50% away from the base damage type (explosive), but hyper propellant converts explosive damage to disintegrate. Because of a bug the mod adds additional damage without reducing any, so even on elimination it will still add more damage to dreadnaughts. On any other overclock you will lose 50% damage though.

Engi is the best class to shape the environment to your needs so you aren’t at a disadvantage against swarms or bosses.
Engineer feels like it's the class with easily the most carry potential. Scout's biggest limiting factor is wave clear, Gunner has limited mobility, driller has finite range. Engineer's biggest limiting factor is the ammo per weapon. That being said, the engineer also gets a 3rd weapon being turrets, so that then becomes almost a total nonissue with that in mind. I'm not even an engineer main, I'm a scout main. I would like to think that I know my role fairly well, as well as my class and loadout strengths and weaknesses, but I just feel like engineer is just so much stronger when it comes to carrying in damage while also still bringing an insane amount of intrinsic value to a team with a LURE or with shredders, with the PGL to deal with huge swarms or single targets or with the Breach Cutter to deal with medium sized swarms or medium sized enemies. oh, and just an FYI. You said that Defender System is a 45 degree scan, it's not. It's 160 degree scan

Most people seem to have issue with ammo management, as well as most people seem to not realize that taking a resupply refills 50% of your EVERYTHING, no matter how much of each item/ammo type you used. This is especially important as an Engi. Try to always have one turret up if you hand out around an area, set up the second one whenever shit hits the fan. Use your repellant to create nice defensible positions around the map to just jump for when a swarm hits. Throw your Shredders (an Engi taking anything else than Shredder drones is just dumb, especially for Industrial Sabotage) whenever you see a group of small enemies pestering you/your team. Manage your ammo, and only ever resupply if you've used up more than 50% of ALL YOUR ASSETS. I cannot tell you how often i see braindead gunners shooting out all of their minigun ammo in the first 2 mins of the game, then go grab a resup just for that without firing a single secondary weapon shot, throwing a single grenade or shield.

the explosion damage in drg has a thing called damage fall off, imagine the explosion as a big circle, now add another smaller circle about 2/3 the big circle (just for example, I just estimate the number according to my experience), the math is that all the bugs inside the small circle get full damage (fatboy is 400) and then the farther away the bugs from the small circle, the lower the damage gets (to 0). Explosion size mods increase the diameter of both circles so you can cover a lot more space with full damage and hurt more unlucky bugs outside the smaller circle

I don’t understand taking incendiary, rounds and homebrew powder on hyperpropellent. Converting 200 points of direct damage into heat is completely overkill and just handicaps you in general scenarios. Patrol bots only have a heat threshold of 100 meaning about 100 damage is getting completely thrown away. Alternatively headshoting a patrol bot (not saying it’s easy, but as a high tier player it’s worth learning) with a normal hyper round will ultimately work as a one shot kill while also leaving you with double damage from not taking fire. This damage will help out with the caretaker fight and especially dreadnaughts. Your fire damage is practically useless on dreadnaught hunts as all dreads have a 50% resistance to fire damage, a temp threshold of 1000, and in the case of the base dreadnaught a complete immunity to the on fire debuff. As for homebrew powder, the consistency lost is almost never worth a 10% average damage boost. There are several instances in the video of you needing to shoot patrol bots twice because you rolled a bad number from homebrew. It’s a funny perk that has its place in casual goofing around, but it shouldn’t be recommended for a serious guide The rest of your builds and advice were solid, this aspect just really confused me lol

i have about 55 hours in DRG now and the first 40 hours were exclusively scout. i didnt see how playing the game was possible without the mobility scout has.
