Engineer | Basic information PlanetSide 2 Guide

I am afraid that this piece of equipment has been completely used up...

Engineer's main weapon is (1) a rifle of high rate of fire. Apart from that (2) he also has a hand gun, (3) a device for repairing the damaged vehicles 4) and an ammo pack. His abilities, just like in the case of the light assault, does not follow the rules. In slot five of the equipment, there is an (5) assault cannon, which can be deployed in any place and can be used to conduct fire.

Valuable hints

The rifle in his inventory is a standard issue weapon for short and medium distances. It is different than those owned by the other classes because, due to its statistics, it is closer to the powerful rifle used by the assault soldiers. The pistol, just like in the case of any other character class, does not stand out with anything extraordinary, both when it comes to its usefulness and use in the battlefield. The third item on his equipment is the deice for repairing the damaged vehicles, both the ground ones and the aircraft, and of assault cannons. The fourth item is the ammo pack that can be dropped in any location, so that the allies can replenish their ammo. After some time, the ammo pack replenishes and it is possible to use it again. Just like every other soldier, he has been equipped with a knife, which is excellent for melee. It only takes two stabs with the knife to kill any unit (apart from Max).

The engineer's special ability allows him to deploy a turret in any spot, which allows for high-caliber fire , as if it was a heavy machine gun. Unfortunately, its angle of operation is less than 180 degrees, which makes it useless in the case of changing front. The operator is protected against damage by a energy shield, located at the device's front. In this case, the engineer (because he is the only one that can use it) dies if attacked from behind, or from the side. In combat against vehicle, he can use the Anti-Vehicle MANA Turret, that can be bought in the character development panel, which is a stronger version of the turret, but it does not ensure frontal protection.

The above information can well be used against engineers, to thwart their plans and actions and to survive, as a result.
