Deep Rock Galactic’s eminent tactician, the Engineer, commands formidable power and proves invaluable in critical moments or when navigating challenging terrain. To maximize effectiveness, it’s essential to understand the optimal Engineer build in DRG.
Best Engineer loadout in DRG
Equipped with a versatile arsenal, the Engineer excels as a frontline and support unit, wielding powerful firearms and automated sentries capable of devastating swarms of hostile alien creatures. Below is the recommended Engineer loadout:
- Primary Weapon: “Warthog” Auto 210
- Secondary Weapon: Deepcore 40MM PGL
- Support Tool One: Platform Gun

This formidable loadout grants superior swarm control capabilities across all difficulty levels, provided the turrets remain active and the L.U.R.E. device is utilized effectively.

Additionally, the loadout’s versatility allows for personal customization according to preference.
