Engineer

“	Hey look, buddy. I'm an engineer — that means I solve problems. Not problems like 'What is beauty?' because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems

Engineer is one of the five playable dwarves of Deep Rock Galatic

Her primary weapon set consists of the "Warthog" Auto 210, the Cryo Cannon while her secondaries consist of the Deepcore 40mm PGL, the Breach Cutter and the Shard Diffractor. She has the Kursite Crystalarium, the LMG Gun Platform and the "Owl" Armor Rig as her equipment and the L.U.R.E., the Plasma Burster, the Proximity Mine and the S.S.G as her throwables.

About

“

As the ENGINEER, you carry two essential items for surviving the caves - the KURSITE CRYSTALARIUM embeds climbable crystals into any surface, and your automated SENTRY TURRETS lay down blistering hails of support fire - if you manage to get it set up before you're killed. You may not be the sturdiest of dwarves, but your COMBAT SHOTGUN and devastating GRENADE LAUNCHER still make you a formidable opponent.

— Class Description

Engineer turrets are great for defense but quickly run out of ammunition. Make sure to refill them often.

The Engineer has four throwables to pick from: the L.U.R.E. which creates a holographic dwarf decoy that distracts enemies from herself and her allies, the Plasma Burster which creates four explosions per grenade, the Proximity Mine which only explodes when a medium or larger size enemy enters its trigger zone, and the S.S.G which unleashes a swarm of friendly Shredders to attack enemies.

Equipment

All classes have twelve pieces of gear, each of which can be individually upgraded using Credits and crafting resources. There are currently four unlockable weapons per class. Each weapon has its own assignment. Once an assignment for a weapon has been completed it can then be purchased from the upgrade terminal.

Trivia

• The Engineer is the only dwarf whose default appearance in official artwork varies. Sometimes she is shown with a full beard and mustache, other times clean shaven with only the latter.
• The Engineer is the only dwarf in the game who is female and is often nicknamed Femgineer.
• At the start of each mission, the Engineer's voice is heard giving a line of encouragement to the player, even if no engineer is part of your team, or even if you are playing solo as a non-engineer dwarf.
• It is speculated that Engineer's full name is "Engineer Sentry Gun". This is hinted at by in-game voicelines when pinging one of her turrets.
• The Engineer's name is believed to be a reference to the Engineer from Team Fortress 2 who also plays a shotgun-wielding, sentry-building role in the popular 2007 Valve class-based FPS game. However the Engineer in this game was made female as to not be a complete rip off.
• She likes miners
• She is not guilty of the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman
