Outcast Engineer Cataclysm True Solo Vermintide 2

Hammer and Shield was chosen because i need it to make space to use the minigun and Engineer has very few tools if he is in a bad spot. Masterwork pistol is there to deal with armoured specials and elites. The Crank Gun can deal very well with Hordes and Unarmoured elites if you line them up in the right spots.

I just love how half way through the video, you've pretty much ditched using your Hammer & Shield and just went full on Modern Warfare. Top stuff.

you really don't want to meet chaos warriors with this build though

[@rose.i]

Great run Core! Have you tried using piston power with the shield as a tool for making space? Seems like the aoe super stagger you'd get off a shield bash could be pretty nice. Losing the DR hurts though, considering how nicely it works with barksin.

[@core7822]

I dont think it makes that much more space than a regular shield bash. Makes it hard to justify giving up the dr

[@user-xo2iw6lz2n]

lvl 30 talent used in the run is the rightmost one, not the center one as the build link shows.

[@core7822]

Thanks fixed.

[@nexnax8337]

Clock Pistol looks nice for Elite Snipes. The new Clock-Hammer looks great, too. I will try it on Ironbreaker. Do you think it outclasses the old twohanded Hammer?

[@chanalan7670]

The pistol is not very well for sniping far enemy,tho it is very accurate the damage can drop nearly 50% when you aim for far target,so its better to use it for clearing elite that near you,and for sniping crossbow and handgun still did better job.

[@core7822]

Maybe i would have to use it more before i can say for sure

[@DogwoodDingus]

Interesting build, especially seeing the use of barkskin with ablative armor. Been trying all different kinds of stuff and was genuinely surprised when you were knocked down in the beginning from those two little taps from rotbloods and skaven slaves. Definitely gonna have to give that a try! The real question I wanna ask however is how well do you think this loadout would work against beastmen or chaos?

[@core7822]

Minigun shreds Chaos hordes and the pistol is very good against bestigors. You struggle alot with Chaos Wariors and Beastmen ambushes can be rough if you are caught out of position.

[@DogwoodDingus]

@@core7822 oh yeah being caught out of position when a horde shows up is extremely punishing especially as the engineer, that’s something I definitely gotta improve at. But for me the biggest issue with beastmen is the archers. The amount of times I’ve been staggered out of charged shots from the pistol or minigun has been infuriating lol

[@core7822]

@@DogwoodDingus haha sadly no build can fix that

[@sephiroththephoenix]

Damn, this run feels like it was the luckiest it could have ever been. No monsters, barely any shieldvermin, no chaos or beastmen spawns, seems like everything lined up for this perfect run. I wonder how many attempts it took to get this lucky with spawns hahaha

[@core7822]

The ones where you get unlucky usually dont end well :p

[@sephiroththephoenix]

@@core7822 Still though, there's a large element of skill involved, so this run was still very impressive!

[@taowley762]

Anyone notice that the 5th crank on the mini gun de syncs and sometimes it takes 1 1/2 to 2 cranks from 4 to 5, sometimes overcharging it?

[@core7822]

Have not had that problem myself

[@VernonKun]

No chaos warriors in the run, would like to see how you deal with them...

[@lamberttychuju6058]

What do you think of the new Bardin? Will he be viable on Onslaught and other similar modifiers and difficulties? I think he has potential but he needs help of his team. Plus that Crank Gun is fun as hell to shoot.

[@nexnax8337]

He has a potential melee build, too.

[@core7822]

Feels like he is outclassed as a backliner by others sadly.

[@core7822]

Not having acces to smiter really hurts his melee game.

[@cHaMp630]

He needs a buff.

[@jalis265]

I'm curious as to why you chose hammer and shield over axe and shield, if your primarily using it for shield bashes wouldn't the axe and shield's faster attack speed be more beneficial?

[@core7822]

I like the push attack into light combo for cleaning up a few trash enemies. Wouldnt say one is strictly better than the other.

[@dannyavarice]

Man.. everything about this character just seems so satisfying. The masterwork pistol one shotting storm vermin, the Mk.2 shredding through hordes, even cranking up the Mk.2 is satisfying to me. lol I can't wait for the engineer to drop on console.

[@dannyavarice]

By first impressions (without playing as him yet), I feel like my dream team would be Engineer Bardin, Pyromancer Sienna, Huntsman Kruber, and BH Saltzpyre or Waystalker Kerillian (I'd probably prefer BH over WS). All ranged character team comps aren't bad right now on console, but the added damage and utility of Engineer would make an all ranged team comp able to handle any situation with ease.

[@prich0382]

@@dannyavarice Why Pryo over Battle Wizard? Using bolt staff you can one shot everything apart from Chaos Warriors and bosses of course.

[@dannyavarice]

@@prich0382 It's just a personal preference. I like Pyro better than BW. Sienna strives at ranged damage across the board with her classes (all of her staffs are viable to a degree, some better than others). The bolt staff with Pyro is unparalleled. Pyro has a much higher dps ceiling than BW. BW trades some raw damage for some utility.

[@prich0382]

@@dannyavarice The Bolt Staff is best on Battle Wizard :P there is no arguing, why have 55% chance for a ~+50% crit when you can have 100% chance for +50% damage, once I found this out, there is no going back to Pryo, Pryo excels at melee cus of the crits, Pryo Ult in unreliable too, Battle Wizard Ult is amazing, one of the best in the game if you use double use talent, one of the best revive tool too as you can use it whilst reviving to take no damage and make space. Dude seriously, there is a reason the BW is known as the "One Hit Wonder".

[@dannyavarice]

@@prich0382 But pyro gets up to +20% ranged damage on top of everything else. Plus the increased crit chance with higher overcharge.

I do not think experimental steam capacitors work btw. Your pressure was not staying at 5. I have tried it myself and it does not stay.

It doesnt stay at 5 permanently. It stays when you reach a full bar which would normally get rid of all your stacks.

[@squeekcheesetaker6593]

@@core7822 Ah okay that makes more sense. I misread the talent then. So, the idea is you get it to 5, start firing, and the pressure still being at 5 is reducing your cooldown while firing?

[@tommychappell6359]

I believe to make it work with Engineer you need to have the right Accompanying loadout.. no good having an awesome weapon if your limited in killing specials etc.. some work better or not as good as others, different combinations/accompaniments listed below: Innovative Ammo Hoppers Variations: 1. Innovative Ammo Hoppers and Masterwork Pistol and Primary (works because can take out crowd and use pistol to take out specials, limited in range but makes up in damage, drawback is friendly fire potential and cautious playstyle with masterwork pistol) 2. Innovative Ammo Hoppers and Torpedo and Primary (works well against crowds, however no consistent long range anti-special capabilities, due to lack of accuracy on torpedo at long range, bullet drop) 3. Innovative Ammo Hoppers and Drake-Gun and Primary (works Extremelyyy well against crowds, however lacking in anti-special department at longer ranges..) 4. Innovative Ammo Hoppers and Hand-Gun and Primary (Works well against crowds, and VERY good for killing specials at long range, primary used for killing hordes, however lacking in the anti-armour department against MULTIPLE armoured units at once) 5. Innovative Ammo Hoppers and Grudge-Raker and Primary (works well against armoured opponents, good for killing specials however only at close range, lacking special at range killing). Gromil Plated Shots Variations: 1. Gromil Plated Shots with Masterwork Pistol and Primary (Works Extremely well against anti-special and anti-armoured opponents, and can deal with specials at longer range... 2. Gromil Plated Shots with Drake-Gun and primary (Works Extremely well for horde clearing and anti-special at long ranges and anti-armour.. all round very solid setup.. 3. Gromil Plated Shots with Torpedo and Primary (works well against specials and against armoured guys, however requires to be out of range of team as does lot of friendly fire, great boss damage, may require team signalling so they know when you use torpedo and step away, DEVASTATES armoured units, including chaos... but requires caution, works well against specials at longer range, no ammo required for special killing). 4. Gromil Plated Shots and Hand-Gun and primary (Uneccesary and waste, because Gromil Plated shots can do same job/role as the handgun (having zoom in feature) at longer range, so handgun could have took another role instead instead of being wasted on special killing. Pure out anti-Special Killing Build.. good at killing armour however could be better... 5. Gromil Plated Shots and Grudge Raker and primary, (great for taking out armoured and specials alike, grudge raker good for horde clearing and bashing and taking down clusters of units.. good for armoured and special, however could be better damage against Clusters of armoured units..
