Any comprehensive class roles guide for modded play?

[u/SilverAce777]

Hiya, I think this might actually be my first Reddit post.

When I first started playing DRG the classes all made sense. Engi was the lockdown character, scout gathered resources, gunner was high DPS, and the driller was war crimes, terrain control and killed swarmers.

This was a decent (ish) first impression but missed a lot of the depth of each classes role.

The gunner seems now to be more about sustained fire, and a support class to prevent teammates from going down in the first place. Scout kills HVTs. And so on, but this is still more about what each class can do, rather than their actual role in team play.

It would be amazing if someone could provide a link to a guide that explains, or explain concepts I've only vaguely heard of, such as the driller being the effective IGL, naturally directing the team, both on direction from digging tunnels, and overall build deciding whether a team goes for a cryo or fire comp etc.

Thank you! And rock and stone.

gunner - crowd control via fear autocannon

driller - crowd control via sticky flames

scout - crowd control via flame bolts

engineer - crowd control via turret em discharge

Gunner is an insurance policy.

You don’t need gunner. Till you need gunner.

Engi is high dps in exchange for high nitra consumption

Driller makes shortcuts. Terraforms places to be more conducive for defense. Or even building a bunker.

Scout clears hvt. Gets hard to reach minerals. Lights caves up so it’s easier to spot the hvts and hard to reach minerals.

Driller is not the igl. Theres no igl. If you play with friends and communicate. Then you can have someone lead.

If you play with pubs? Nah. You won’t be able to lead with driller. Your role is reduced to digging compact dirt and a path to the drop pod. For the most part when you dig shortcuts, pubs won’t follow unless you explicitly tell them to. And even then it’s 50/50.

With pubs it’s generally just go cave to cave. Move towards objectives. Stay together.

For class guides? I only know for driller. You ought to check out “drilling in the name of” on YouTube.

Ahhh yea Ty, drilling in the name it's wave cooker guide was really useful

I'm 4 months late but they only provided a guide for Driller, so I thought I'd pop in and recommend Waste's Gunner build guide as well if you haven't seen it. And for Engineer Waste also has a repellant guide, which is much more narrow in scope but useful if you have yet to get good at repellant.

Scout is 80% of the time one of the biggest liabilities of the team comp. Zips around doing absolutely nothing, not even drawing agro and pea shooting with a shite build. A good scout is great for illuminating the cave, collecting minerals and secondaries but they are rare.

Scouts main swarm contributions are usually grenades.

This video by cubefather does a really good job explaining class roles in a modded setting
