So glad you did this! My favorite kit post patch! I completely agree with radius and snap freeze on cryo beam. Get radius on all passives and just own.
The engineer was one of my favorite to play in ME 3 and was disapointed when I started to play with it in Andromeda, her powers were so weak and now you made me wanna try it out again as you're havong incredible results with this built. THANKS !!
Dude, I built my human engineer with this guide. You were not kidding, this shit IS insane. Anyone else reading this, take Hulks word for it, this stuff is crazy crazy powerful. In ME3mp, I always found engineers to be underwhelming, but in ME:A mp, this little bastard is unbelievable! My only gripe really is that overload has a long recharge, but holy crap on a cardboard box!!!! When that overload goes, everything else is like "did you see the license plate on the fucking truck that hit me?!" One more thing: I noticed in your guide that you tend not to charge the overload, a charged burst really makes it all the more fun!
At 7:36 you said "Tech Power AMP. k. It's gonna increase the damage of your tech combos for sure" - sadly that's not fully true. Power Damage and Combo Damage are two different formulas. Combo Damage & Radius can only be increased via skills. If you use a Power Amp, it will only boost your power's damage BEFORE the biotic explosion happens. And thanks again for the build :)
N7 HulkFlexX id love to play with you but sadly I'm on Xbox. With the help of your videos I've gotten new ideas for new builds and power combinations and I'm consistently topping the scoreboards in gold :)
Nice builds man. Have try with the M-25 Hornet? After 1.06 patch, this gun achieved a substantial damage improvement and used it as a medium / long range weapon. Hurricane + Hornet can be a great smg combo I think.
I used the same build for the cryo beam except for the turret. I only took the turret up rank 5 or the omni link recharge. Ranked up to 6 on support systems. I have been taking my human engineer through platinum with a scattershot. If I am on firebase zero I usually score first place. Damn cryo debuff and snap freeze wrecks. Even the hydra, berserker or behemoth drop dead faster. Shielded enemies is a problem sometimes, but the radius helps a lot by affecting the non shielded enemies due to the radius. So if they bunch up, as long as there's a health grunt or armored enemy I still cause some cryo debuff or explosions.
awesome build. I've been watching a fair bit of your Andromeda videos and I was just wondering which packs you purchased to get some many consumables, like the ammo and the efficiency mods?
Gotta say as far as priming goes PAW is king. QUicker then shadow but a bit less damage. I find it much easier to aim and since you dont have to zoom in so its easier to see everything around u.
of course this build would be wonderful if the assault turret's cryo ammo wasn't bugged. it only works for me if I am the host. otherwise it never shoots cryo ammo.
Gabriele La Torre Yeah I like the weapon platform myself as well, was just curious on how the ammo priming worked with this build, seems like it would be per bullet since most smg platforms are single trigger pull guns, but idk. They weren't super forthcoming with the details of all the mechanics in this game upfront
My bad, I was talking about its killing power. The hornet fire is pretty fast, but if you want to prime as fast as possible better to go with the hurricane, the equalizer or the rozerad.
OOoooh! Saw something on reddit that using overload to combo on a snap freezed target actually negates the snap freeze damage. If they are correct you will literaly do half the damage by comboing them rather then just shooting them to death. It seems a few different people have agreed on this. I would love to hear what you think. Maybe just try a game without using overload to detonate and see if you see a difference. I know it seems crazy but if its true you could take some points out of overload to put into the passives. Just thought i would share as i started leveling this lady up yesterday so was super excited to see you had uploaded a vid. Here is a link to the thread for everyone to see. www.reddit.com/r/MECoOp/comments/6bnobe/can_anyone_explain_how_snap_freeze_work/#bottom-comments
Sorry for the spam but my head just keeps spinning on this stuff. Its almost like bioware is trying to trick us! Initially you think that detonating chilled targets with overload would be the way to go bit it seems the opposite is true! By "priming" everything with overload and THEN blowing them up with snap freeze not only will you do the extra damage from snap freeze rather then a cryo explosion (roughly double the damage if the numbers are right) you will also be doing 35% more damage due to the passive that enhances elemental damage! This may mean that its worthwhile to actually max overload to chain to as many enemies as possible, therefore priming them for more elemental damage! Also rather then going for combo damage in passives it may be more beneficial to go for power damage itself since snap freeze explosions are not considered "combos" but rather a power(this needs further looking into but it makes sense, this way you get 20% more snap freeze damage as opposed to combo) Once again sorry for the spam but check this out and let me know what you think. LEAD with overload and switch passive to power damage to increase snap freeze explosion damage and let me know what ya think bud.
Help me out here - I tried duplicating this build on the male version of the human engineer but came up short a few points. I'm lv. 20, of course. I ended up having to skip rank 3 on Overload and rank 6 on Offensive Tech. Does the female get more points per level up or something?

+Ursus Hawk thanks bro glad you like it. This character wrecks shop
Ursus Hawk omg just tried the radius for cryo and the mobs of unshielded enemies stop dead in their tracks!!!!

+Jeremy Hamke glad you enjoy the build bro and thanks a lot for the support 👍
Lol yea bro that would have been fun
At 7:36 you said "Tech Power AMP. k. It's gonna increase the damage of your tech combos for sure" - sadly that's not fully true.
Power Damage and Combo Damage are two different formulas.
Combo Damage & Radius can only be increased via skills. If you use a Power Amp, it will only boost your power's damage BEFORE the biotic explosion happens.
And thanks again for the build :)
Hands down the best build I've played with. Awesome vid man thanks for the guide!
+Angel Aviles np thanks for the support
N7 HulkFlexX id love to play with you but sadly I'm on Xbox. With the help of your videos I've gotten new ideas for new builds and power combinations and I'm consistently topping the scoreboards in gold :)
+Angel Aviles that's great to hear bro. If I ever get an Xbox one I'll definitely play with you
subbed finally because the video is hilarious. love the hype about the build
+William B thanks for the support bro
Dude, just tried your built and all I can say is that it's is very effective !
Awesome build man. Human Engineer is my favorite class so far. Just need more luck with crates to max him, it's been a pain.
+espica yea but he's a beast for sure
FYI causing a Cryo Explosion does not cause a Snap Freeze. It causes a Cryo Explosion instead.
Nice builds man. Have try with the M-25 Hornet? After 1.06 patch, this gun achieved a substantial damage improvement and used it as a medium / long range weapon. Hurricane + Hornet can be a great smg combo I think.
Duh, I just saw comments where they are recommending it, sorry for repeating it!
+D. N4V4RR0 yea the hornet is actually a lot better than it was
+D. N4V4RR0 don't worry about it bro it's all good 👍
nice, bro. I'm working on a human engi right now
Good stuff good stuff, 'bout to make a Mr.Freeze class
+Xavier Brown yea bro try it it's super powerful

+Leonardo Da Vinci thanks bro 😀
Hope you guys are enjoying the new build! If so be sure to show some love and leave a 👍and subscribe
awesome build. I've been watching a fair bit of your Andromeda videos and I was just wondering which packs you purchased to get some many consumables, like the ammo and the efficiency mods?
+youngbo13 I buy 5 supply packs after every match
HumInfiltrators, TurAgents, KroMercs, SalArchs, users of fire ammo... When you play with this build, you will learn to hate them (fire negates cold).
+Vadim Kidalov yea that's when I space away from them
Gotta say as far as priming goes PAW is king. QUicker then shadow but a bit less damage. I find it much easier to aim and since you dont have to zoom in so its easier to see everything around u.
+starnes reveley yea they are both good in their own ways I feel
This build in insane. I was wiping out 6 red bars at once. Have you tried maxing out overload instead of turret? Any better damage wise
+Ryan Underwood it wouldn't be a bad idea to max overload I just like the turret personally
Thanks. I was just curious if you tried it.
would more points in overload make for more damage on combos?
+Scott Huston yes but not by much
of course this build would be wonderful if the assault turret's cryo ammo wasn't bugged. it only works for me if I am the host. otherwise it never shoots cryo ammo.
Is the hornet viable? It has impressive rates of fire, but not sure if each trigger pull is an attempt to prime or is it per bullet?
+John Krueger it's decent
+John Krueger it's pretty much each trigger pull
Dude the hornet is a monster if you go for headshots and it is viable on every kit. Give it a try, Im using it a lot after the patch.
Gabriele La Torre Yeah I like the weapon platform myself as well, was just curious on how the ammo priming worked with this build, seems like it would be per bullet since most smg platforms are single trigger pull guns, but idk.

+starnes reveley I'll check it out for sure bud
nice vid, in which order would I level the skills up
+K G health and shields with passives first. Then do cryo beam, then turret, overload last
cheers
is this build still good
are you on pc, Xbox or PlayStation?
+James Miller playstation
N7 HulkFlexX damn lol
cryo turret still bugged for me tho. good build overall
+xclosertotheheartx dang that sucks. Cryo turret is so good
Help me out here - I tried duplicating this build on the male version of the human engineer but came up short a few points. I'm lv. 20, of course. I ended up having to skip rank 3 on Overload and rank 6 on Offensive Tech. Does the female get more points per level up or something?
+SlyBeast do you have 10 character cards for your character?
+SlyBeast if your engineer is at level 20 and has X Character cards you should have enough points to spec into everything
That's it. That's what I'm missing. Thanks for helping me figure it out. Looking forward to putting what I have to work tonight with my crew!
+SlyBeast np bro anytime 🤙
