Let’s see if we can get some discussion going.

Recently, at least, my main has been Scout. I run M1000 with Electrocuting Focus Shots - the way I’ve built it provides a nice breakpoint for acid spitters. After playing Scout for a while I find it a little hard to go back to a slower class - more than once I’ve tried to grapple away and realize “wait you idiot you’re playing Engineer”.

After Scout, I like playing Gunner the most, followed by Engineer. I don’t really like playing Driller much - despite having many promotions on my other classes, I haven’t promoted Driller yet! I don’t hate the class, or anything, I just didn’t ever really click with the playstyle. I have a healthy respect of Drillers on my team for being able to handle crowd control well, so cheers to you guys.

    I prefer driller, but rotate regularly to fill (and promote). I feel like it’s the most versatile class in the game.

    • Bugs? All 3 weapons do AoE very well and bring extra utility (robots on fire, enemies frozen, bugs slowed, etc.)
    • Stuff on the wall? EPC + Thin Containment Field
    • Gotta get somewhere? Drills
    • Teammates? C4

    That said, they’re all fun in their own way.

    Scout. Started the game with a buddy of mine, he picked Engineer as his main, since these two classes seem to synergize pretty good

    Solo I tend to pick scout just for laziness of getting around quickly. Normally only run simple mission types this way.

    In group play I mostly do driller. Even if I’m useless the whole mission I can make up for it with B lining to extraction point. Overall I just like the feel of the class and that I am always making an easy to use hole to where we’re going and use later. (Don’t worry about the one that leads through a ceiling to my and your death. I’m sure it won’t be a problem later in the mission.)

    That said I do like all the classes and mix in a healthy share of gunner and engi keeping overall ranks semi near each other.

    Engi all the way! Started building up a scout after 300+ hours of nothing but engineer. Scout is fun, I like the mobility. I love having a good driller in my squad, so I think that will be my next class after I level up scout for a while.

    Started with Scout as it had the most appeal initially. Quite challenging to get into the other classes now. Got that need for speed!
