Bonebreaker and Contek CSG are the two best weapons for the Engineer due to them benefitting greatly from the Scatter Plot passive. Both shotguns have mods that can increase their ammo capacity and damage
The Shuriken is a weapon from the Ninja class and is the best sidearm you can give the Engineer due to its movement speed buff. For tools, you'd want an Pulse Lure for additional crowd control.
For the Engineer's best skills, you will want to pick the skills that increase weapon damage and survivability. You also want to pick the gadget skills that will allow the Engineer to use Sonic Storm more frequently and have it deal more damage.
The total cost to buy this entire loadout, with mods included, will require you around 8,500 Dosh.

Alternatively, the G33 is the best explosive weapon for a classic Demolitionist playstyle. It has strong AoE and crowd control, especially when paired with the Freeze Grenades mod. This combo can freeze entire hordes with a few blasts, letting your team clean them up easily. It’s a fantastic choice for team play.
The ConTek CSG also makes a great backup weapon, offering impressive range for a shotgun to blow up Husks and Bloats when needed since the G33 has poor range. The Krait sidearm is ideal for cleaning up nearby fodder ZEDs. For tools, bring the Multi-Tool for some extra team support.
Most of the best skills remain the same, but make sure to equip the Full Blast Lvl 20 Passive instead of Scatter Plot to increase the G33’s explosive AoE. This full loadout will cost around 8,000 Dosh, depending on how many mods you choose to attach on your weapons.

To capitalize the Engineer's Scatter Plot passive, the Bonebreaker is the best weapon for the Engineer due to its wave clearing capabilities. Equipping it with Explosive Slugs, will allow the Bonebreaker to hit more enemies. The rest of its mods should focus on increasing its damage, capacity, and fire rate.

The Contek CSG is best used during scenarios where you need to shoot critical areas of armored Zeds since it is a single-barrel pump shotguns. Make sure to equip the Incendiary Shells mod to deal more flesh damage. The other mods to craft and equip should increase the Contek CSG's penetration power, capacity, and accuracy.

KH-380 is a good support weapon you can use as an alternative to heal other allies when there is a lack of a Medic in your team. If you arejust starting out, Krait is a good sidearm since it is already the Engineer's starting gear.
Engineer Best Tools
Best Engineer Tools
| Tool | Effect |
|---|---|
 Pulse Lure
|
Ultrasonic device which acts as a distracting lure for enemies, drawing them to its location. • 3 lures Nearby enemies are Confused, causing them to attack other nearby enemies |
The Pulse Lure is the best tool for the Engineer since placing it will allow you to manage intense horde of Zeds.
Alternative Tool
| Tool | Effect | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Syringe Bag
|
First-aid kit that provides the team with additional syringes. • 2 deployable bags • Each bag grants 1 syringe |
| 2 |
 Multi-Tool
|
Multi-function tool with 3 charges. • Activates and allows remote enabling of Traps. • Enables Ziplines • Unlocks Armor Lockers and certain Doors • Repairs damaged Explosive Locks |
Depending on your team's composition, you can opt to change to any of these alternative tools. If your team does not have a Medic, having a Syringe Bag will ensure that you stay healthy throughout the match. The Multi-Tool can provide various uses depending on the map, like activating ziplines or turrets.
Engineer Bonus Ability Priority
| Ability and Priority | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Increases Damage by 7 when magazine is at or below 1/4 capacity. ★★★★★ |
Generally, Shotguns and Grenade Launchers have a lower magazine size compared to the other guns. With the Engineer's perks revolving around these two, this bonus ability can make it easier for him to clear hordes and burst down ZEDs. |
| Next round deals 10 additional damage after destroying an enemy's limb or armor. ★★★☆☆ |
Due to the amount spread and AoE of the Engineer's kit, ZEDs will regularly lose a limb or two, meaning this bonus ability will remain significantly active during a match. |
| Add 20 Stumble Power. ★☆☆☆☆ |
The additional Stumble power will increase the already high likelihood of your shots to stagger ZEDs, giving you and your squad more time to line up the next volley! |
For the Engineer, it would be best to prioritize the following Bonus Abilities that capitalize on the low magazine size of his Shotguns to plow through hordes of ZEDs while having additional crowd control to create space for his squad.

The Engineer's best passive skills are the ones that will increase his damage when using a shotgun. With this, equipping Scatter Plot will increase any shotgun's damage due to the increase in pellet count. Pairing it with Major Damage, the explosion of the Explosive Slugs allows the Engineer to control a group of enemies reliably with Stagger.
With the Engineer mowing down a lot of zeds with their shotgun, Tool Up is a no-brainer choice since the Engineer will be able to refill their tool ammo. Man of Steel is also a great skill to equip for additional survivability since the Engineer will obain a permanent armor integrity increase and small enemies will be stumbled when grabbing you.
Lastly, Rally Beacon is a great skill for solo play and multiplayer since it will allow you and your teammates to deal more weapon damage!
Use Full Blast When Running the G33 Grenade Launcher
If you plan to mainly use the G33 Grenade Launcher, make sure to equip Full Blast as your Level 20 passive instead of Scatter Plot. It significantly improves AoE and crowd control by increasing the blast radius of your explosions.
