I definitely did not forget to increase the volume of two words at 2:47 a professional like me would never make such a mistake.

I'm personally enjoying the newly buffed Gromril-Plated Shot! I use it as a delete button as one or two taps is sufficient to kill Stormvermin and other nasties, and rocking it with Superior Gaskets for that constant damage buff. I run the Grudge-Raker for killing assassins and berserkers, and use the crank gun on everything else! I also rock Armour Piercing Slugs in order to make sure the minigun can shoot monsters through other enemies, as well as letting the Grudge-Raker just clear through entire hordes in two quick blasts. Outcast always felt awkward to me, but the changes have made me really enjoy him!

the build looks amazing ty for showcase

Pro tip: Grenadier applies to Trollhammer shots, and Superior Gaskets is essentially a free shrapnel "proc" at all times, including Trollhammer shots. Also I miss Leading Shots, losing that has completely invalidated my OE Drakegun build :(

I mean... leading shots was 25% crit chance if you wanna look at it that way. Why not run Perilous Overclock and stack for CC so you can build yourself to 55% CC? I bet you'd end up doing more with the same build :3

@@SmGTwist Perilous Overclock's recoil damage and ult charge make the Drakegun build extremely awkward and inefficient. There's no point in using the Drakegun to save ult charge on a horde when you can recover the whole ult bar in 3 cranks, and the Drakegun's horde/Elite enemy shutdown works to your detriment if you hope to offset the recoil damage with Stagger THP. ----------------------------------------------------------- Insane Rambling ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Drakegun crits only deal extra damage on the first crit of a charged stream; crits on Drakegun instead harvest bursts of high stagger power, capable of knocking most Elites to the ground after the first crit against them. The Drakepistols have a higher base stagger power, being capable of stopping Chaos Berserker flurries, but doesn't have nearly the same rate of stagger output that makes the Drakegun as good as it is. Without crits, the Drakegun loses a significant part of its utility for OE, which is to create absurd amounts space rivalled only by the Trollhammer. In contrast to the Trollhammer, though, the Drakegun has significantly lower friendly fire and downtime; while it can't ever match the Trollhammer's damage output, it has just enough range and deals enough damage to keep it relevant to me and my preferences (it still doesn't have an answer vs Chaos Warriors though, rip lol). A fully charged fire stream will kill a Mauler on Cata, and triggering a stagger with a crit can guarantee this kill by preventing any semblance counterattack, assuming a Skavenslave doesn't slap your ass. I've had several occasions where I unintentionally killed a Packmaster or Leech because they made the mistake of trying to spawn/charge into the horde and surrounding flame. The Drakegun was, to me, a Crank Gun Lite, trading DPS for cleave & stagger and allowing me to save the Crank Gun for Specials, Elites, & Monsters. Taking away reliable crit proc'ing makes the Drakegun significantly worse off, and significantly harder to justify bringing when Ingenious Ordinance, Bombardier, and the Trollhammer make just as much, if not more, space for an OE to work with, with far less RNG or setup required compared to what a Drakegun now needs to do the same thing it could have done with Leading Shots. If it means anything to anyone, the framework for a Drakegun build was just Leading Shots and a Drakegun with Hunter, that's it just build around that. LS Drakegun could lock down Stormvermin and Beastman patrols even on Cata, since the only things a Drakefire crit can't stagger are Packmasters, Chaos Warrior overheads, Plague Monk flurries (unless you somehow headshot with a flamethrower), and Monsters. The Drakegun was a massive boon to OE's resource management, my favorite part of him, that has been watered down by how hard it is to replicate now, and how easy it now is to farm bombs and recover Crank Gun ult. Oh yeah also swapping from your equipped weapon to Crank Gun grants that weapon's properties to the Crank Gun, provided you aren't the host (this "feature" is still in the game btw, if you want +40% Power vs Rat Ogres from trinkets/weapons alone).

Nice! Really wanna bust out my Ironbreaker again, so this abomination cant be in the same lobby as I.

So I think there are a few things I’d personally would add. I’ve been playing the engi for the last 600hours, and those new additions really made him awesome. Now I’m not certain if this is a mistake or was added woth certainty but with armour piercing slugs he is actually able to now penetrate and hit 3 enemies thst are all stacked behind each other, making his rattling gun an amazing tool for killing hordes. And while enhanced power is quit nice I’ve started enjoying mainstay a lot more as it gives me monster killing potnetial in seconds if combined with the trollhammer torpedo. Adding to that you’ll want to have the ability that allows you to use the effect of all potions when uou drink any, which increases speed and strength, and in theory your ulti gets refreshed as well, but that effect is quit less interesting since the overlock function (of which I’m a huge fan about. Reminds me of playing skaven in aos or warhammer fantasy)

Im just Happy OE is fun, I see people complain about him being to Overpowered, like he is definitely strong but I cant help but feel people are over reacting. We have Warrior Priest in the same patch defying death cause he can stand himself back up. Bombardier doesn't give me 3 bombs at the start, still dont know if thats a bug cause I also run the Bomb generating talent. But the bomb generating talent is to much fun, i understand with grenadier on the trinket you get to throw even more bombs, id say maybe increase the timer between getting bombs, 120 or 160 should be fine. Also again Bombardier doesn't give me 3 bombs to start the match but maybe leave it like that, it giving you 3 bombs + plus being able to generate bombs is a bit overkill, I understand the team aspect of being able to give your teammates bombs but even then I feel that's strong and unnecessary.

@@teanthide8458 I completely disagree, for starters we definitely have different points of views on what we call broken or OP, I consider a character that can't die broken, since that's the only way to lose in this game. I'ma use another game as an example since I do consider the community in this game to a bit on the "whiney" side. So in WWZ my favorite horde shooter, there is a class that does the exact same thing as OE currently, the class is called Hellraiser, it just throws bombs or plants mines, that completely demolishes entire hordes and any and every special along the way, now I hear you, OE can generate his own bombs, plus vermintide has a perk on the trinket that gives him a 25% chance to not consume a bomb, well the class from the other game I'm mentioning has a perk that gives him a bomb back for killing certain amounts of enemies, pair that up with the fact that you have another class in the game (which is in every lobby) that gives you bombs back for using his equipment bag, and you pretty much have infinite bombs, along side it giving you explosive ammo, and yes the class I'm comparing OE to does have explosive damage buffs. The main reason for me to bring this up is because in that other game, you get one of those in your lobby and nobody complains, it's just gonna be an easier match to go through. Not to mention vermintide has 3 disabler specials, berserkers that can blend in with their horde and plague monks that can spawn in crazy amounts, there are tons of ways for the OE to mess up and get downed. Vermintide also has other careers that just Thanos Snap patrols and they even do it while being safe. I also wanna add that Vermintide has always had Careers and Talents that clash with one another, you definitely don't want to play Zealot having a Waystalker that's running rejuvenating locust on the team, some characters have the THP talent that gives them THP based on the health of the enemy killed (meaning they going for elites) and then you have Waystalker, bounty hunter and Necromancer who get rewarded for shooting down elites even though the other careers might need them to build thp, why do I bring this up ? Well cause I guess the main complaint would be the bombs burn through the trash mob so you don't get to build a lot of thp depending on the thp talent your using, to which I guess the solution is, don't get hit and there are always enemies to smack even after a bomb. I ain't trying to persuade anyone to changing their points of views, just sharing mine, at the end of the day we all play however we want to play, my stance with the current OE Is that this current build gave him a new fun playstyle, they can definitely work around it and do whatever they want, at the end of the day the developers balance the game how they see fit, but one thing you should never do it take away options from a character thus making them less fun to play, you work around and tune them how you see fit but never remove them.

Also just a reminder, what's unfun for you isn't unfun for everyone else, example for me all I care about when I play this game is literally just beating the stage as fast as possible, that's the fun for me, and also of course playing with my group of homies.

I know fatshark will tune him down again but still wonder what drug they where using thinking they made him "balanced" with the big balance patch.

Outcast engineer is currently the most overpowered class, no nerfs to him at all, the recent patch was a major buff for him, too big in fact. He was strong before, just needed a good player behind the keyboard.

the goat. i miss old engi, but now dumb asses can be good too!

This build in particular has taken over most Chaos Wastes lobbies atm. Outcast Engineer is currently so overpowered that most noobs pick him without a second thought and queue for legend and cata while underlevelled, AND THEY STILL TOPSCORE AND RUIN EVERYONE ELSE'S GAME. It's so bad that I force myself to hog Ranger Veteran all the time so as to not let anyone pick Engineer and ruin the fun. I think Fatshark knew of the comedic hype behind the funny "haha minigun go brrrrr" class and are capitalizing on the DLC popularity once more to make a quick buck. He'll get nerfed eventually, but until then, we will have lost, and Fatshark will have won.

I like Wet's idea of damage reduction, but maybe 30%, and maybe bring the CC down to 10% per crank instead of 15% because it allows engi to build to 55% CC which is crazy
