Best Weapon for TR Engineer?

[Alper Abi⚡]

What is the best (or preferable) TR Weapon for the Engineer?

[Khloros]

So a really good weapon for the engineer is the turret, if oyu take robo tech and jockey, at level 5 robo tech and level 4 jocky you an take a bolt driver round point blank to the dome and keep going.

As for individual weapons, on TR, the kindard is going to be your bread and butter, its a carbine and has insane TTK as the first 7 rounds of it shoot out faster then its normal ROF, meaning you need to learn to burst fire with it, but it becomes a monster of a weapon

The Punisher is also a pretty good weapon for him as the repair grenades are useful and helpful against max's

Best is relative to the use you need it for. There's no "absolute best" in planetside.

Long range? Mid-range? Close quarter? Something that works for everything but excels at nothing?

[Moya]

For me the best in close-mid range it's the LC2 LYNX so easy to auraxium !

[Shortpower]

Lynx/Kindred are your most consistent hitters.
Archer is fun for farming MAXs.
Shotguns are good for when people are better than you.

All this said:
Don't buy guns with your initial certs the suggestion to get the purple ribbon on a weapon (1.1k kills) before buying a replacement is a pretty good one.

[Pinkelf [Ryshai]]

The standard carbine given to you is pretty good. Jaguar is good too. Lynx is more of a smg, it has a 909 rpm.

The Trac 5-s and scout rifles are my go-tos for pvp but im a little biased towards single fire rather than automatic fire so ymmv

Single fire scout rifles (amr66/dragoon/hs1) take some practice in cqc tho the amr-66 and track 5-s give the most amount of options when it comes to attachments
(trac 5s gets underbarrel shotgun in addition to everything the amr recieves)

Track 5-s can also act like a battle/scout rifle if you set it single/burst fire

Launchers are good for crowd control whether it's grenade or smoke. Both very situational but you can set yourself up to initiate pushes on points especially with smoke since most do not use HS/NV scopes and if always paired with the silencer can make for a silent but deadly combo

The dragoon is ok for cqc without the single fire mod and explosive rounds are good for hitting targets around maxes

Facing vehicles I always equip the archer w/4x scope as this optic gives the best all around for taking on targets near/far and this includes maxes as well

kindred/Jackal

Almost like a laser beam accuracy sometimes.

[Pinkelf [Ryshai]]

Underbarrel grenades can damage vehicles. And as an engineer you can place down ammo and just spam them.

[Chrøme]

In my opinion the best is jaguar.
