Loadout Guide

My own personal Engineer build. Run and gun with the Stubby, combo it with the diffractor on tankier and/or grouped up enemies, and do some typical engie gameplay and lock down during large swarms with two defender system sentries. Use cluster 'nades and/or Overdrive Booster on especially big groups of enemies.
