Breach Cutter is the best weapon in the game

[Waubenwerder]

Pros:

1 Cutter is the highest damage weapon in the game: (max. 800 min. 575). Only c4 with 875 damage is higher. Even the minimum damage allows you to kill most of the bugs in one hit.

2 Large ammo: (max. 27 min. 15)

3 Passes through enemies

4 Passes through walls

5 Almost no damage to allies

6 Stun enemies with 100% chance

7 Works well against clusters of small enemies (both ground and air)

8 Works great against macteras

8 High rate of fire

9 Works at both close and medium distances

10 Armor breaking (Even without the corresponding upgrade)

11 Fast and effective against large targets. So it takes 13 charges and 15 seconds to kill a bulk (Haz 5 one player), a pretorian - 4 charges, an oppressor - 9 charges

12 Does not require extra movement of the player in order to get to the weak point

13 Allows you to quickly and without causing damage to yourself to get out of the environment of enemies

Cons:

None


The build is:
2
1
1
2
3
Upgrades
And “light-weight cases” overclock

Yeah, it's pretty silly. But the devs don't seem to be interested in nerfing it, so, y'know, may as well enjoy it.
Engineer's secondaries are all fun to use so I still switch between them for variety though. The others might not be as good but they're still good enough.

dead space taught us it is the pinnacle of antipersonnel weaponry. generations of engineers dreamt of it and it should be glorious !

[Smetrix]

All of engineers secondaries are pretty OP, ♥♥♥♥, in general he’s pretty OP lol.

I forgot completely about the cutter in that game, really old game dead space, but yeah it is proper op and really fun to use, some prefer it's spin but i love the return cutter for ridik damage there and back.

2k hours played as an Engi main, Bread Cutter is weak, doesn't even put a dent in my organic whole wheat fortified loaf; works okay for split top white though I guess.

PGL 4 lyfe.

cons:
cant funny nuke or rocket jump with overclock

Why slice and dice when you can drop a nuke on it lol :). I can just imagine an engi doing this now, gettin half way down a cave, unpacking his lunch box and lazer beaming the crap out of it.

[Barnobestabn]

cant snipe with it :) it is pretty nice though.

i instantly switched to engineer when i saw the weapon but i haven't unlocked it yet sadly, i'm happy to know it works well though !

With how much fun the PGL and Shard are, I don't run a single Loadie with BC. Also, the OCs for both cover any and every utility needed.

I think PGL is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ it actually discourages new players from playing engie. Bread cutter with no upgrades is so much better it's not even funny.
On the flip side, all the bread cutter overclocks are ♥♥♥♥, so PGL wins late game.

I mainly use the shard diffractor these days because my brain hasn't advanced past Quake

You aren't using the PGL correctly if you actually think this is true. PGL has the range advantage, the AoE advantage, the versatility advantage, and a far better suite of overclocks. Nothing the breach cutter can do will ever compare to the all-around utility of RJ250, the powerful spike damage of Hyper Propellant, or the sheer swarm-wiping capabilities of Fat Boy. What does the Breach Cutter have? zero range area denial overclock? A micromanage for same total damage overclock? An Incendiary Compound wannabe overclock?

[Jack left town]

Because of course a total noob is gonna have fat boy OC

[Frisky]

it can't RJ250 jump and it's not plascrete catalyst

also I personally find bread cutter to be my least favorite weapon in the whole game just because it's mechanically boring and not that flexible for build variety, the OCs all pretty much either do the same thing the base weapon does or make the weapon much worse (*cough* return to sender) :|
