Battlefield 2042 ► I Had No Idea The Engineer Could Be This Powerful..

[@andrewka57]

You can be even more efficient by using the LCMG as an Engineer and have both 40mm HE and AP. Been using weapons that have the 40mm AP since launch.

[@khail127]

Negative. The AK24 reload speed of the underbarrel is all we care for. The speed cant be matched.

[@zernicht9r286]

this is how i play i destroy everi tank in seconds with my frind. RPG than 40mm and the tank is finished

[@xlDysenterylx]

I love that launcher, too. I usually play recon actually , but I run a Blasco with smoke grenades, a t-ugs, and an SVK with the 40mm launcher. I TAKE objectives, and I HOLD objectives. Lol

[@steveng5370]

@@khail127 do you still use the HE or AP grenade launcher?

[@thelonehussar6101]

Wait, the LCMG can have launchers?

[@timelessgamer_UK]

Engineers are horrendously underrepresented on the scoreboards. Constantly pains me to see how little recognition there is for taking out the Tanks / downing the Choppers & Jets vs. running to do a sneaky back-capture or reviving a team mate. I am not saying those things aren't important -- but taking out a Tank? That's got to be worth the same as standing on a cap point with 10 other people 😅 If I want fun & contribution, I play Engineer (other classes are fun too, that's just me). If I want a high score, I play Support or Dozer for those lovely captures :)

[@Albus_Rex]

I'd like to know what class pick rates are. I often feel like one of a handful of players trying to do AT/AA and then no one gives us any ammo, so our impact is minimal. Too bad Angel got gutted, it'd be nice to see more of his crates around to resupply. But I guess most prefer to play Mackay and sit on every rooftop and rafter.

[@RHG_Drums]

The Assault class in this game is so selfish, in previous games they had an additional role like resupply, medic, or anti-tank that made them good assets for teamplay

[@Extirpo]

I depends on the players themselves. I play McKay 80+%, allways carry C5/smoke, and allways go for vehicles when possible - if not in for the flag. Meanwhile my team mates are moving around crouching, if not doing it the stationary Boris style.

[@Emma_Z1]

the engineer class in this battlefield its absolutely busted, in older titles the guy who was in charge to do main AT damage couldnt be good at infantry but now it can do everything because you can have any gun and even a GL, Lis is insane, you have two rockets of long range that are unavoidable if you are good and you have infinite ammo. Idk understand people that say vehicles are op, they cleary dont know how to play

[@Extirpo]

@@Emma_Z1 As for vehicles being op, it depends entirely on the map. Some maps are (still) garbage for infantry.

[@Albus_Rex]

@@Emma_Z1 that's why people who play engineer play Lis. It avoids the issues I described by having infinite recharging ATGM's. Very little, if anything, is good about this games balance.

[@katiethurgar6047]

With Lis' TGM, landmines, the AT grenade and the underbarrels on the LCMG you can solo two heavy tanks before needing to resupply.

[@FvkingHandleNames]

@@protonjones54 You shouldn't put landmines on a tank in front of you, i mean if the ones on the tank turrets are "blind" then yes, but generally, if you play landmines i guess you should put them on a road close to an objective you control, or even better if you see a tank coming for your objective in the distance

[@stephencoppedge8001]

@@protonjones54 funny enough, you can throw landmines on tanks and they explode on impact

[@masonmaliwauki3673]

I only use the LCMG nowadays with any class, or maybe the SCAR and AK to shake things up, for the sole reason of having the AP 40mm launcher. Me and my friends don’t even need an engineer to destroy any vehicle we see, we keep an Irish, Angel and Falck to destroy all projectiles, resupply grenades immediately with Angel’s crate and then heal with Falck. Perfect setup.

[@joelsheridan4877]

While working on Liz T1 grind, I found the best way to solo tanks, you do have to get close though but its the easiest way to get credit for Liz's grind. Shoot 1 AP under barrel, throw AT then throw a mine right on the tank. That should get them below 20 percent and you just have to finish them off with Liz's rocket

[@fotis3v480]

Sadly nothing will make me switch off smokes in this game lol. Good call on the AP underbarrel tho thought it did like 10 dmg only, 20 is enough to combo.

[@WARSTACK]

You know how many times Ive shot at that traffic light? Lol. Great setup!

Dude that rpg was for sure a hit 7:17 . That’s happened to me twice in two passes by the chopper, I seriously thought the dude was hacking lol

[@MrTafseguri]

They should add resupply stations to capture points. Its fun to be an engineer, until youve blown your load, noones runnig ammo, and you are now the least effective soldier on the battlefield. Also Boris's turret needs help, its aboslute garbage in its current state and infuriating to use.

[@Arek_R.]

6:58 man the amount of times I shoot with stronger loadout TOR (one shot kill) and I get just sparks like that. Once I had small heli like that and I shoot him like 2-3 times get sparky and only 3rd-4th time it worked.

Always hated how you always run out of ammo… then BEG for Ammo from a support and they completely ignore you. They NEVER brought back the feature from Hardline to just take Ammo from a support = WHY!?!? It exists and it’s been done and now forgotten forever. Primarily play 2042 in bot matches…. Still running out of ammo and bots are too dumb sometimes to drop Ammo.

[@Klarified01]

Nice video! One question, do you have ADS FOV on or off? Your guns seem so stable

[@GhostGamingg]

Thanks! ADS FOV is on, 90 FOV

[@ThePrincemgomez]

Great video but the new issue is having to worry about the Dozer buff. I run into issues where I don't have incindiary grenades to deal with them. I think they should nerf Dozer where armor piercing rounds will wear down his shield. Other than that, you just need a team where you have support or assualt teammates to help deal with the Dozer players

[@onyachamp]

I find the 40mm he on the Scar takes care of dozer most times

[@ThePrincemgomez]

The Engineer/vehicle gameplay is the worst of any BF, it’s so frustrating running round tickling tanks almost always on your own only for them to get away to repair then come straight back knowing you’ve not got enough firepower to finish them.

Thats how ive been playing for a while now but i do wish the support class had more defense against armor thats chasing you around a simple anti tank grenade could help out sooo much if you're not carrying a gun with anti tank grenades after all the support class specializes in SMG

[@gil7riviere]

6:55 I had multiple missile dust a few days ago.

[@calicocalpico]

if possible i try to lead with the AT grenade, as it's hardest to hit the target when they start evading, and has a bit of delay with pulling the pin as well. any follow-up attacks with launchers would be easier to hit afterwards compared to the grenade

[@GhostGamingg]

That's a good point actually, I think a big hit like from the RPG has a greater chance of disabling the turret though, which obviously helps you survive for long enough to take it out.

[@CapStar362]

@@GhostGamingg the AT Grenade will also disable, everytime i throw one, i get a good hit it tells me "Part Disabled" so, yeah, if you get close enough, hit him with the AT Nade first, then start hammering him with RPG and Thumpers

Semi unrelated, but ive noticed a lot more people in f35s hovering to try and kill helicopters and infantry, very easy kills for any average engineer.

Engineer is a lot more reliable now than it used to be, my personal favorite loadout is lis with c5 and the AT grenade. Makes the vehicle players really upset 😂

[@IanTed]

Mines are surprisingly good, but very few use them hence the tanks are over confident😆. Incendiary grenades can cope with the Dozers, they seem very flammable…

[@ggbr3h57]

I would like support to have at least the anti-tank granade, or C4. like they only have a frag granade and any granade launcher. And its not enough to fight against a tank or any light vehicle.

[@GalacticAbsurdity]

When I play Support, I pick an engineer and follow. Most players just run and do not stop to pick up ammo when given. (Little awareness). If it's in my squad I try to use Voip. Playing engineer, I hardly get any ammo at all. I can get revived when I suicide to try to get more ammo. Ha ha, otherwise almost never. So if you play Support, pick a engineer and keep giving ammo...

[@penguin_support1801]

For those who think you should be able to solo tanks. You should not be able to solo tanks on your own. You couldnt do it in BF3 or BF4. Also bc of the specialists you can do it (Sundance and Mackay), what shouldnt be possible to be honest. The tanks are not that great in the game and the specialists and gadgets are doing too much to push the ballance in their favor instead of the tank. The tank is something to be feared and not just run up on. The mentality of the players in BF overall has changed and bc of the mechanics of the game what is bad. Really hope they go back to the roots in the next BF game. (i want to have my LAV back, a real one not the patty clones like wildcat or RAM)

[@Albus_Rex]

"I just want to stomp infantry again." You can be honest mate, it's the internet.

[@penguin_support1801]

@@Albus_Rex Well whaat i want is ballance and that doesnt really exist in the game. All the ground vehicles are not really taht threatening bc of their lack in mechanics and how they are in the game. Conquest especially and thats what ghost said correctly is about keeping the vehicles at bay. So that means they are more important than the infantry what previous games (BF3 and BF4) represented. Its like chess. Infy are pawns and the other pieces besides king are the vehicles. Also the vehicles in BF4 had good skillgaps and really cool mechanics and not that bs vehicles like transport chopper, railgun tank or an LATV with Flak . To your comment to stomp infantry. Well i still do it but the ways taht the infantry has to counter vehicles is way too much and effective. The vehicles on the other hand are just at all fronts a strict downgrade(also most vehicles that are good vs infy arent even in the game like LAV, attack boat, attack jet). In BF4 when you died in a vehicle then its most of the time of bad positioning or another vehicle player taht is just better. Sometimes you die from infy but that was relatively rare at least for me. Nowadays with a normal tank you dont die vs the enemy tank or a chopper. You die bc some clown uses sundance or mackay with C5 and goes at you 24/7 until you are dead bc they know the tank cant do much to them and it cant defend itself forever. That mentality was not even thought of in BF3 or BF4. Another thing people had to think more how they can get rid of the vehicle taht is good for example. Now you have only buggy mechanics and gadgets like unlimited TV on lizz that connects with my chopper for example even when its like 3-5m away. Overall these things are most of the time bugged thats why they are so good and bad infantry players can counter good players even when they shouldnt be able to. I played the game nearly 1400h, so i know what im talking about. IF someone wants to know something, just ask.
