After firing a line and a 0.4 second delay, the player can press the fire button again to manually detonate the line dealing 40 Explosive element Area Damage in a 3.5m radius and leaving behind a 3.25m radius sphere of Persistent Plasma that does an average of 35.56 Fire Damage per second and slows enemies by 20% for 4.6 seconds. If the player doesn't detonate it manually, the line explodes at the end of its lifetime.
Leaves behind a Persistent Plasma field that does an average of 20 Fire Damage per second for 4.6 seconds. The Plasma field's width is 2/3 of the beam's width, and extends along the entire length of the beam's path.

People have missed some of the strongest Engineer builds. The SMG is by far his strongest and most ammo efficient primary when built correctly. This build can deal with every enemy, use Breach Cutter as listed or Shard Diffractor for armor break (you don't need to stun what is already dead) :) If using Shard Diffractor use Plasma Bursters for burst dps over S.S.G's.

Overall this is probably the 2nd strongest Engineer build. I have another that I think beats it but would need to do more a/b testing.

For passive perks you want resupplier, born ready, and any other of your choice (recommend thorns or deep pockets).

For active perks dash is always mandatory and heightened senses beats iron will as you shouldn't be dying with this build on non-modded difficulties. Iron will is one and done whereas heightened senses alerts you to (often RNG BS) danger through the whole mission even after it's two kill activations and keeps dps up in critical moments if and when you do have to use it.
