Almost every time I encounter an engineer, I die (if he has the turret up). I can either take out the turret or the player, but never both. It's annoying when someone is spamming concrete blobs with the bounce upgrade. It's almost impossible to kill both the engineer and the turret (especially if he has a stun thing). Any tips would be appreciated.
Yeah good question. Of course there are a number of abilities that can do the job (Husk Hop, Rocket ride) however with just primary weapon I normally keep a distance away and target the turret first taking it out before the engineer notices me. Once turret disposed of, engineer can be quite easy to defeat one on one.
Interested in other tips...
@asaj2210 Characters that I think are good for dealing with Engineer include Cactus, Rose, Nightcap and Acorn/Oak. Don't use Chomper as Engineer hard counters him. Cactus can snipe him from afar and stay away from him and his spam and send Drones after him, Rose can use Aimbot to damage the Engineer and his Turret, Enigma away if needed, Jinx him to deal more damage and Goatify him, so you can focus on taking out the Heavy Helper first. Nightcap can easily sneak behind him, can Casting Shadows and Fung Fu the Engineer and the Turret. Acorn is hard to hit and Oak has lots of health and can quickly take out the Turret and Engineer with a few direct shots. Most other characters have some other good ways of countering him. You can try using different characters and strategies and see how that works for you!
General tips: try to take out the Turret first to stop the Heavy Helper's buff to the Engineer and his team, and then the Engineer. And try to stay at range when you can so the Heavy Helper and his stun mines are much less of a problem.
Hopefully those tips help you! 🙂
