What could be more intimidating than a , rolling towards you on the blood-soaked battlefield?

In large games, vehicles play a crucial role. They can eliminate enemy soldiers, secure important locations, and destroy opposing vehicles.

These powerful machines need maintenance, and it’s your job to repair them when things go wrong. A skilled engineer can be a game-changer in battle with the right knowledge.

Let’s explore some equipment setups for the Engineer and discover the best ways to play this clever class.

Role Expectations

Although fixing vehicles and tanks will take up a lot of your time, it’s not the only thing Engineers can do. There are actually many different ways to be successful with this class.

The Engineer class can be surprisingly frustrating to play against – though maybe not as much as the Assault class. Engineers are often right in the middle of the action, and they’re incredibly useful for operating tank turrets or even driving the tanks themselves. They can also quickly jump out to repair damage when under fire.

Alternatively, you can focus on disabling or destroying enemy tanks using traps or long-range launchers. The Engineer’s SMGs now have better accuracy while firing from the hip, which is especially useful in close-range fights when supporting Assault players. You might not be the first one to engage, but you’ll be a valuable asset on smaller maps with tight, twisting hallways.

The Best Engineer Class Loadouts In Battlefield 6

How you play the Engineer changes a lot depending on the map size. But no matter the map, you can always find a way to help your team and influence the game.

Honestly, if I see a tank in a game, I have to drive it! Or, at the very least, I’m clinging to the back with my wrench, just ready to fix anything that gets damaged as soon as the fighting starts. It’s just what I do!

Although tanks appear tough, they can be quickly destroyed if enemies focus their fire on you. A common mistake players make is driving directly down the main routes on each map. These paths are almost always mined, leading to swift destruction.

Instead, take a less crowded route. Use the tank as protection while your team quickly moves to capture a key area and eliminate any enemies hiding there. Have a teammate operate the tank’s weapons while you repair it from the outside. Alternatively, if you’ve chosen the Combat Engineer specialization, you can simply stay inside the tank, and it will repair itself automatically. This makes you equally valuable as either a driver or a gunner.

The SCW excels in close-quarters combat and deals the most damage per bullet compared to other SMGs. Although its magazine isn’t very large, you’ll likely be spending most of your time inside the vehicle. A good strategy is to quickly exit, fire a magazine, and then immediately return to safety.

The Tank Buster

Tired of your tanks getting destroyed while you’re fixing them? I understand the frustration. It’s time to fight back and make your opponents suffer the same fate.

This strategy focuses on eliminating enemy vehicles. The key to success is specializing in the Anti-Armour skill path. Damaging enemy vehicles also slows down their repair process, making it harder for enemy engineers to fix them thanks to the Devastating Impact buff.

As a huge fan, I’m really excited about the faster reload times they’re adding for the RPG! Plus, you get two extra rockets, which is awesome for taking out tanks. Honestly, the launchers aren’t great against regular soldiers, but if you hit a tank with all three rockets, it’s usually enough. And if it’s still hanging on, just toss an AV Grenade to be absolutely sure it’s destroyed!

You can infiltrate enemy lines and lay AV mines on roads to disable enemy tanks, then quickly escape using your SL9, which has a good range.

The Anti-Air Expert

If you prefer to avoid direct confrontation, the Engineer class is a great choice, as they excel at fighting from a safe distance.

You’ll be most effective driving the Anti-Air tanks. These are one-person vehicles, so you’ll be operating alone. Position your tank safely behind the front lines, and keep an eye on the sky. You’ll have powerful shells to destroy armored targets, as well as missiles to take out helicopters when they appear.

Level up your tank for more options, like more powerful rounds and emergency repair capabilities.

If you can’t get a tank, start with an SLM early on, and later switch to the MAS 148 when you unlock it. Both let you destroy enemy aircraft if you can keep a steady lock. It takes some getting used to, but your specialized training will give you plenty of rockets, letting you provide valuable support from a safe distance.

Because you’ll likely be fighting from a distance, choose a submachine gun that performs well at range, such as the UMG. It offers a large magazine, excellent control, and accuracy, all of which are important for making precise shots from afar.

The Pseudo-Assault Officer

Even if you’re starting with limited resources, you can still be a successful Engineer! The Engineer class can act like a more affordable version of the Assault class, and sometimes, even outperform it.

Let’s talk about the first SMG you’ll get: the SGX. It’s great up close, and even better if you enjoy using SMGs. You won’t need to aim carefully with it very often.

You can modify the SGX with attachments like a short barrel, stubby grip, converter, and red laser to make it better for hip-firing. These upgrades will significantly improve your accuracy at close range, letting you shoot faster because you won’t need to aim down sights. This allows you to quickly move around corners and eliminate enemies before they react.

As a big fan, I’ve been checking out all the different ways to play the Engineer, and it’s amazing! You can honestly build this character to fit any playstyle you like. It really comes down to figuring out what works best for you and how you can make the biggest difference in winning the game.
