If you want a gateway Engi loadout, learn Explosive Chemical Rounds Lok-1 with Breach Cutter (OC is up to you really) and shredder grenades. That combo makes you pretty difficult to kill.
Depending on your build, engineer can be the most defenseless class in-game. Gunner has shield, Driller has primary and drills (slow and fear) and Scout can just zip away. Engineer can be easily overwhelmed, that's why if possible stay with gunner or driller during a swarm or just build a fortress ahead of time.
For whats it worth, playing engineer requires you to pick your battles and or think ahead, because if you are in trouble, theres no way of easy way out. I personally Think of it like playing mages in rpg. Strong when your setup / combo is working, and you need to plan a bit ahead of your teammates.
How do you use custom crosshair and still see the status like graplinig distance, zipline angle drills angle? I can't find a mod who hides the weapons default crosshair and leave the tolltips on

What's the strat, I'm genuinely curious.
You can place your turrets at the very top of the drillevator. Then you can shoot them and trigger EM Discharge.
I like this and the over clock that electrifies the turrets & platforms.
Also big shout to the shotgun/sentry plasma blast combo.
18:44 struggle
33:46 truly
33:46 the first time I got screwed over by that friendly tentacle. If I hadn't petted it I could have built my turret and used EDM lol
EM discharge single-handedly got me into playing Engineer. My weakest class.
And it still is my weakest class. I'm just bad.

I'm using a mod called "NoCrosshairButInfov5" You can get it only in the "Practical DRG" discord server. I'ts currently on beta.
