Hell Let Loose - Ultimate Engineer Guide

[@Jermster_91]

You forgot the part where you try to place a satchel on the back of a tank just for a Anti-tank guy to teamkill you with his Bazooka or Panzerschreck.

[@SoulSniperYT]

Haha damn, I even have a clip of exactly that happening lol. I think I'll upload it as a short when I get a chance. 😂

[@zejz31]

Yup, most annoying when you sneak up to the tank and there is an idiot AT behind you shooting rockets before you get to it.

[@fancyphantom8103]

I loathe that shit.

[@conscript900]

Did this once by pure accident, I was trying to track the tank so it couldnt run away, accidently killed the friendly. The good news is we did get the tank kill but i felt so bad about it.

[@SoulSniperYT]

War is heck.

[@ejnorth8040]

I started playing support recently and the first match I played I was basically adopted by an engineer. They don’t like us wandering off do they.

[@SoulSniperYT]

Haha no they don't. Engineer is useless without supplies!

[@Wulfjager]

I was playing support defending and there were like 5 engineers at the second to last obj building stuff. 50 supplies just doesn't cut it so I started running supply runs with the truck for the thirsty little builders

I really wish there was an engineer squad option for this game. You could be engineer and support members and you could have a direct line with your commander to optimize node locations as well as fortifications.

Engineer is OP. Once I started to really dabble with it I was getting highest scoring teammate pretty often. The passive XP you get while being an engineer is unmatched by any other class.

[@SoulSniperYT]

OP from an XP standpoint, yes. Combat effectiveness it's pretty good too, but I wouldn't say OP.

[@627hjc]

points isnt the reason why you play any role in this game.

[@no1cares965]

I’m a year late but found this guide extremely helpfull, I think there’s been an update now where the supply trucks can drop supply’s inside the first sector

[@famalam943]

“Warn everyone in proxy chat there’s a satchel” So they can run straight into it

[@SoulSniperYT]

Ha! Maybe we shouldn't warn people then!

[@plain-bagel]

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a satchel go off without killing at least one teammate, even with the engineer yelling to run away 😆

[@SoulSniperYT]

@@plain-bagel it's never happened and it never will.

[@jimmy5516]

Had a guy tell me and my squad to get away from a satchel. And he told a few randoms around as well. Only my friends in the squad survived that and the dude. The rest kept vibing around the tank and then complained in chat after.

[@SoulSniperYT]

It is the way of the blueberry 🫐

[@The_ATF_]

My quick guide: 1. Spawn as standard issue get a supply truck and make it your first objective to get you nodes down (free xp and commander will love you) 2. Once nodes are down either 3. If playing warfare focus all defensive power on the centre objective 4. If playing defence focus all defensive power on the second objective from you hq 5. If playing offensive switch to sapper and attack

[@Skaatje]

So your quick guide is a recap from the guide we are all watching here.

[@SoulSniperYT]

It's an interesting little tip, eh? 😁

[@deathstalkero7408]

I love me some engineer play. Was a combat engineer in the army and boy did I come far haha. I wanted to stay away from it but naturally I became glued to it

[@ballaholic458]

Excellent video, was quite excited for this one as engineer has always been a role that seemed like it can make a really big impact with the nodes. Nice to learn how to use their entire kit since they have such a large toolbox of toys to work with. I’m used to MG role with only like 4 items in the kit. Keep up the amazing work, can’t wait for more!

[@SoulSniperYT]

Yea games can play out drastically different depending on game mode, your loadout, and what the other support and engineer players are doing. It was a beast of a role to tackle, but I think I did it justice! Glad you enjoyed it! Excited to tackle AT next. That's just good plain fun right there lol.

[@SoulSniperYT]

Yea offensive mode is definitely more interesting for Engineers than warfare!

[@Riskybizkit]

[@dean8525]

The painful things about engys is they are so reliant on supplies being in the area. If there is none around, all there abilities are nullified.

[@SoulSniperYT]

That's true. It can be a bit frustrating if you don't have a decent supply guy around

[@Wulfjager]

Quick, concise, and clean. Thanks for the excellent tutorial. I dropped 50 hours in this game in the past 2 weeks and, now with self taught knowledge, I'm going through seeing anything I missed and you helped me a lot with strategizing the basics

[@SoulSniperYT]

Thanks man, happy to hear it!

"But you warned them, so.... you know....... fuck 'em!" That made me laugh out loud!

Nice vid buddy thank you for making the game better with introducing these things to new players. Since the game is more populated and there is no tutorial, these guides are golden to keep the game the experience it is✌️

[@tslater2005]

@@SoulSniperYT youre absolutely right. The game is so special. In order to keep it that way its very important to keep the new players hooked. And imo its only possible to get hooked if you know what to do in the game. Thx to all of you which try to help us with that. Maybe colaborate with the "bigger" YTbers to make an even bigger spread with the infos. Thx buddy have a nice time, see you on the battlefield

[@jonmacq6622]

For me, the best part about being an engineer is that I can run off with a supply truck and go do my thing and people leave me alone. :-D

[@SoulSniperYT]

Spoken like a true old man! 😉

[@PizzaTimeGamingChannel]

I honestly had no idea the level 2 barricades had more resistance. I guess it makes sense, but as with most things in this (great) game, it's not explained very well. Nice work!

[@SoulSniperYT]

The US level 2 barricade, for example, adds sandbags in front of the logs, which makes it more resistant to small arms fire. At least that is what the dev brief about the barricades said.

[@MrZliffer]

I have had other players tell me not to bother upgrading barricades to sandbags as the hitboxes are bugged on them and u struggle to shoot over them.

[@bounce12]

I just wish you could interchange your weapons with whatever else your chosen class has when you unlock um. Like who wants a engineer that can’t build? When I grind to unlock a class I should be able to choose whatever gun and specialist items I want to carry. No one wants a backpack full of bandages and a 45!!!

[@JeremyB8419]

Back in the early 2000s, there was an Engineer class on a game called Tribes. Made turrets and other defenses. I mained it. At one point, an update made it so that the turrets added to your own personal kills. Was ranked #1 in the world for 6 months following that lol. On topic, though, the ability to set some of these explosives at range makes them seem potentially OP as hell

[@SoulSniperYT]

What do you mean "ability to set some of these explosives at range"?

[@ThePwnasouras]

@@SoulSniperYT the fact that you don’t need to set them directly at your feet. That you can set the mine 20ft in front of you, without you needing to physically be on top of it.

[@SoulSniperYT]

Ahh gotcha. Yea, I get what you mean. Kinda weird that you can move the blueprint so far from your feet and still plant it.

[@FilthyCasualVR]

This game is so cool. Such a breath of fresh air from the normal game loops

[@SoulSniperYT]

Agreed! My fav

[@Masterthief014]

This game needs a boot camp/ tutorial for the entire game and every role. like does the supply truck regenerate said supplies at HQ? I wouldn't know, I mostly play support.

[@SoulSniperYT]

I agree! Until then I'll continue to work my way through the roles and make more tutorials for other things as well. As for supply trucks - there is a thing that you can drive under at HQ that gives you another two supply crates. So you can drive back to HQ for more supplies if needed. I'm not exactly sure what it's called. But it's almost looks like the frame of a playground swing set. Not sure how else to describe it lol.

[@SoulSniperYT]

Lmao yes that's it!

[@mrrealpx3189]

Engineers are a multitool, first build nodes, then take your machine gun and rush the shit out of that hard cap. It a tank appears, satchel it. i love my engineer.

[@SoulSniperYT]

I love having a satchel in my pocket

[@ya_homeboy_prophet]

Moving from Squad to HLL due to microtransactions, I appreciate all the guides which can help me transition smoother!

[@Josiah_Trelawny1]

so basically if you dont want to play with a squad, play engineer. not the best idea of Team 17.

[@zejz31]

AP mines and satchel engeener load out is one of the most effective one in the game when you know how to play it. Just use it in the right places and you will get tonnes of enemies and structures down.

[@MasthaX]

Going wild with the trenchgun is just so brutal. Also available in assault kit if your favourite engineer class is taken!

[@SoulSniperYT]

It's definitely a good time! Not a super versatile or practical weapon in most situations but for close quarters combat it's pretty sweet!

[@1973chevypickup]

Americans: Get different weapons depending on level of the class. Germans: Get different weapons depending on level of the class. Soviets: NYET! Rifle is fine!

[@Reza-sl4jm]

I played engineer for the first time today and oh god I was bullying enemy with mines, everytime I spawned I pushed towards the enemy silently and placed 2 antipersonnel mines in wall breakings and a one anti tank mine in the middle of the biggest road around, later I just heard an explosion, checked my offensive score to see I have destroyed an enemy vehicle

[@cameroncarr2293]

I wanna play engineer now lol. Just started this game and seems like one of most valuable assets is engineer.

[@SoulSniperYT]

It's a really versatile role. You can focus on building defenses and nodes, or run around with the shotgun slapping satchels on tanks, enemy garries, nodes, etc. It's a great role to main!

[@andrewg3262]

Get in, get truck, make nodes, fortify the rear position or the fall back. It's one of my favorite classes

[@andrewg3262]

One trick I use is to put a barbed wire so that it allows them to pass through but they have to go through a pinch point. Then mine it so it looks like a dumb engineer put it wrong but then BOOM! Use hedgehogs and gates to funnel vehicles and AT mines in the pinch. Common trapper tactics. Belgian gates can get you on a roof so can a repair station. You can have 6AP mines and 2AT mines active. Place a barbed wire further than a grenade can be thrown so that they are out of range and dont put gates or hedgehogs near the barbed wire as it provides them cover, have someone make a AT gun then put barricades around them to protect, same can be done at the arty. Use fortifications to protect arty which will require a supply man or air drops of supply. Just some of my tasty recipes

[@maurossauro8088]

All of these wonderful things to do if only SOMEONE PLAYS SUPPORT AND DROPS SUPPLIES GOD DAMMIT

This game looks great like Project Reality meets Red Orchestra, or less Sweaty squad but WWII, I want it!

[@SoulSniperYT]

Less sweaty squad but WW2 needs to be the new marketing spin! 👍👍

[@RenerDeCastro]

At first, I thought Engineer was tedious and boring. And then I found out that Nodes not only helped the team immensely, they also gave out tons of XP for grinding. Also, the building mechanic really reminds me of Garry's Mod's Sandbox mode for some reason. Now, it's my most played class alongside Support. Building fortresses on both Warfare and Offensive Mode is pretty fun, especially when enemies can't traverse them easily and are forced to take huge detours.

[@SoulSniperYT]

Yea the XP is insane!

[@thebeck1012]

I get all freaked out by the building aspect because knowing my luck I'm gonna stop an access route for our tanks, or supply trucks knowing my luck.

[@SoulSniperYT]

Yea you have to have to be careful about that for sure. But remember, you can always dismantle things with your wrench if you do mess up. Be mindful of it but don't let it stop you from building defenses. If you mess up, just fix it and learn from it. It's all good man!

Can supply trucks drop supplies in the first friendly sector now? I tried just few minutes ago and it works. not sure if it was a bug or something...

[@SoulSniperYT]

No they can't. So what people do is drive the truck just outside the first sector and drop supplies. Then walk back into the first sector and you'll be within the range of the supplies needed to build the nodes. Make sense?

[@mavstorm4588]

@@SoulSniperYT That's what I do too, but yesterday I managed to drop both supply crates from my truck way before the beginning of the second sector

The other day I gently suggested to a recon player he probably shouldn't be driving the supply truck around. He should be, you know, conducting recon. I said driving a supply truck is more of a job for people like engineers, which several of us engineers were at that very moment willing to do. He told me I didn't know what I was talking about. Five minutes later, sure as shootin', the supply truck was abandoned in enemy territory, the recon player was god knows where, and the commander was screaming for nodes. Ten minutes after that we were rolled.

[@Zazucat3000]

What happens to a node if you change class?

[@SoulSniperYT]

Nothing. It keeps generating passive XP and in fact, that XP applies to whatever role you switch to! So if you want to level up Support faster to get the flamethrower for example, go Engineer, build a set of nodes, then redeploy and go Support the rest of the game. Those nodes will give you tons of XP that will go toward the Support role!
