Re: Engineer Comm Link


Higby mentioned engineers also having grenade launcher attachments, though that wasn't in the brief.

From Reddit:

Engineers and Medics will probably have very similar weapon classes, engineers are going to have the advantage of being able to deploy turrets that are extremely powerful, though stationary.

We're still messing around with the rules for this, right now they have a tool that allows them to deploy a variety of combat engineering - we'll probably break this apart and make you select what you'll be deploying ahead of time (maybe in a few buckets of available deployables)
So exclusive grenade launchers on Engineers, and powerful turrets and some ability to have resistance to AOE damage, different buckets of deployables.
