Engineer

Turrets and explosions...you've come to the right place, mate. |
| — The Engineer |
The Engineer is one of the four playable Dwarves of Deep Rock Galactic.
About
| “ | As the ENGINEER, you carry two essential items for surviving the caves - the PLATFORM GUN shoots climbable platforms onto 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 |
The Engineer can support teammates by providing them with ground to stand on with the Platform Gun and can assist in combat using the LMG Gun Platform to construct sentries. Sentries can be placed in defensive positions to protect the team, and platforms can help the team mobilize during missions.
The Engineer's primary weapons consist of the "Warthog" Auto 210, the "Stubby" Voltaic SMG and the LOK-1 Smart Rifle. His secondary weapons consist of the Deepcore 40mm PGL, the Breach Cutter and the Shard Diffractor.
The Engineer has four Throwables to pick from: The L.U.R.E. which creates a holographic dwarf decoy that distracts enemies, the Plasma Burster which creates four explosions per grenade, the Proximity Mine which only explodes when a medium or larger enemy enters its trigger zone, and the Shredder Swarm which unleashes a small bundle of friendly Shredders to attack nearby targets.
Equipment
All classes have unique Equipment items, each of which can be individually upgraded using 
Credits and minerals. There are currently six unlockable weapons per class, three primary weapons and three secondary weapons, and each weapon has its own assignment which must be completed in order for it to be unlocked. Once an assignment for a weapon has been completed, it then can be purchased via the upgrade terminal.

Trivia
- The Engineer is the only dwarf whose default appearance in official artwork varies. Sometimes he is shown with a full beard and a moustache. Other times he is shown with only a moustache and no beard.
- 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.
