Deep Rock Galactic: Engineer - main weapon Deep Rock Galactic guide, tips

This page of the Deep Rock Galactic guide is dedicated to the Engineer's main weapons.

Last update: 16 January 2022

Engineer's primary main weapon is Warthog Auto 210. However, upon reaching level 10, he also gains access to an alternate main weapon, Stubby Voltaic SMG. The first weapon is a semi-automatic shotgun, which performs well at close range. Stubby Voltaic SMG has high rate of fire but it doesn't cause too much damage. However, it has the ability to shock enemies and slow them down for a short time. After reaching level 20, you can unlock a new main weapon (via Assignment Mission) - LOK-1 Smart Rifle.

Warthog Auto 210

Warthog Auto 210 is the Engineer's main weapon - this semi-automatic shotgun fires projectiles that turn into multiple shrapnels severely injuring opponents. At a very close distance, the Warthog Auto 210 is excellent for eliminating minor opponents, as you can take down the enemy with just one shot.

Unfortunately, the Warthog Auto 210 doesn't perform as well against more serious opponents, such as the Praetorians. Fortunately, with the right modifications and Overclocks, you can make it a truly terrifying weapon that will do well in any possible situation.

1. Tier 1 - Supercharged Feed Mechanism;
2. Tier 2 - Loaded Shells;
3. Tier 3 - High Capacity Magazine;
4. Tier 4 - Bigger Pellets;
5. Tier 5 - Miner Adjustment.

Stubby Voltaic SMG

Upon reaching level 10, The Engineer can unlock an alternative main weapon, Stubby Voltaic SMG. As the name suggests, the Stubby is a submachine gun (SMG) that has a very high rate of fire, but suffers from high recoil and short range.
