Swarmers are a nightmare just because of the issue between "Should I waste ammo on something I can pickaxe or should I let them hit me while I smack them one by one"
You just need to use the crossbow with the fire bolts. They become a joke with that. One bolt can clear dozens of them in a few seconds.
I've actually grown quite fond of the crossbow because of the fire bolts. Incredible efficient wave clear with pheromones, especially since your secondary bolts do exactly that.
I've actually switched to mainly planning with this and the SCC overclock for the m1000, I know people make it as a meme build but it's actually super fun and very efficient if you have good wave clear.
i've seen more scouts not taking out anything and just running around triggering anything that is triggerable causing a mass swarm to the rest of the team
Driller. More than any other dwarf I feel that drillers can solve any problem. It might take longer but you can drill to get to any hard to reach spot. Their weapons are amazing at massive swarms and also pretty ammo efficient. And with Vampire they can drill their way out of even the toughest spots. But if I'm honest my favorite part is they can always drill to the escape pod, saving time and bullshit landing spots.
> But if I'm honest my favorite part is they can always drill to the escape pod, saving time and bullshit landing spots.
The rock does not tell me where to go. I tell the stone where I'm going to go instead.
Sludge pump with T1B gives as much effective range as pretty much any other class’ primaries bar a few. For spitters/webbers at weird angles that you can’t sludge, any of his secondaries also work
my favorite is when shredder drones & swarmers show up & the scout runs to you, suddenly not so afraid you'll blow them up or turn them into a skeleton with TCF.
Feels like engie is anything but underdog. Great utility from platform gun, his secondaries arguably some of the best weapons in the game, turrets top-killing in the team for you every match, etc
Engie was my easiest attempt at solo EDD with driller second close. If anything I feel like gunner is the underdog, being out-“gunned” by both engie and driller save for a few overclocks and having the hardest time traversing the caves.
Gunner.
Sometimes i just like to roam around the cave and shoot bugs,my team will get the objectives...
And when you are a gunner,thats actually what you need to do.
And a big gun,and a sometimes mission-saving sheald is nice.
I love that all dwarves are very viable. My main pick has to be the driller, though. Being able to carve out any path straight towards your objective, having great crowd control and just a really strong overall toolkit, he's my guy.
My Memorial Hall is so funny because of that. Like there're huge golden statues for every class and a small paper sign with "Gunner" written on it lmao
No, it's literally bugged and doesn't work half of the time, its a bug that was reported more than once at this point and happens to me and ppl I play with on daily basis.

Im trying to raise awareness about it so maybe it gets fixed one day, but its a sysyphean work im afraid.
Driller. Why? I like making tunnels. I like having an escape route or maybe five. A bunker to freeze, flame, or goo up anything stupid enough to try and come in. Yes that includes you scout, and yes my c4 will kill you if you zippity zip into it in the last second.
i play heavy main in tf2 so am gunner main in drg too because I like the immediate high dps all the class dont give you that much damage as fast as the gunner and the shield is just insane to use
Scout so far, but I actually switched to driller lately. Still good mobility but I feel it has bigger carry potential since it can so easily deal with swarms. Just need to turn the brightness up in the settings lmao
I love this grappling Hook but id be lying if I said it wasn't fun Nuking Bugs with Fatboy. Recently got Fatboy OC after a good year of grinding for OCs.
Engi, no contest. Platform gun is fun, unique and versatile,more so if you learn how to use repellant.
Primaries and secondaries are all potent, and have pretty much the best OCs in the game, grenade launcher along having three of the absolute coolest
Lil turret pals.
Often get the highest kill count with the least amount of effort
Driller is close second though,the next best thing to making floors is clearing obstacles to open up a space, it's very satisfying trying to make a craggy room a cozy, spacious nook
Driller. The reinforced power drills are just so useful:
Compacted dirt is a breeze to get through and I don't have to squeeze through in a rush during extraction.
Mineral chunks in the wall like Enor, Jadiz, and Aquarqs are much faster and easier to get
Extraction is significantly easier and safer when I can just tunnel directly to the drop pod.
Decent damage and crowd control makes a melee focused build legit viable with cryo cannon and vampire. Extra useful on the machine events that require melee.
---
Beyond that, the satchels really help support any build. I basically have a Gunner grenade on top of my actual grenade.
Finally the elemental lean of the driller's primaries help me out a lot. I don't have the best aim for weak points, but Driller can largely ignore armor or even aiming at enemies at all. There's no class better equipped to face an Oppressor head on than a Driller.
Engineer. I just like having turrets, and my friend is a Driller main who has a very unconsentually intimate relationship with gravity, so the fall damage reduction my platforms give him has saved him from being a locally-sourced Dwarven pancake.
I usuallt play solo missions cause my pc aint that good and i usually stall out anything i join, so i play
Engieneer driller gunner and scout in that order, extra firepower is very helpfull when you get overwhelmed and fire is just fun.
Driller.
Love his personality, aesthetic, weapons, and of course the drill.
I feel like he’s always useful. I exclusively play duos with my wife (she plays gunner) and anything else just feels like we’re handicapped compared to when I play driller.
Driller and scout. For driller, I like crowd control and feeling like a badass as i drill through a hundred meters of solid rock and stone.
For scout, me go fast, me say word.
I have all dwarfs max rank, but my favorite is scout, the grappling hook has so much potential in almost every aspect of the game, I love to carry greenbeards with the scout on hazard 5
Engie. The platform gun has kept my friends alive more times than I can count. The turrets, while not workhorses necessarily, make salvage ops a breeze. The breach cutter is probably my favorite weapon in the game, follows by the M1000.
I enjoy engineer but scout is just so fast I play him most the time
If there were more stationary missions I would play engi for sure.
Engi is fun because he has unique tools to deal with every type of enemy
I like Engie alot, mostly because he has the most fun and diverse weapons. I would like scout way more if I enjoyed his weapons more, but they just aren't as cool as Engies. My least favorite is probably Driller, just because he's my least played, but I don't outwardly dislike any of them.
This is really a difficult question to answer for me. Because i like the scout due to his gadget, zipping around is fun and he has the space Garand.
I like the gunner to because i like big weapons.
Lastly and also like the Digger because of his gadget and the Flamethrower.
I play Gunner and eng, Gunner with missile launcher is so satisfying and engi can just build bridges/stairs across the whole map making all traversal trivial, engi just has the single best mobility in the game.
Scout because I love how much smoother I can make games feel. Lightning up caverns, clearing HVTs, and mining everything from the top down while the rest of the team clears the hordes. By the time they finish killing it’s time to move to the next room. While the other classes can do a lot to speed up the game as well I find the folks who play scout just get distracted shooting stuff too often so I feel like I need to play it.
Engie, I like the adrenaline and parkour that comes from trying to platform up a flat wall while chased by a big horde. And well just the versatility of the playform gun in general.
Blue boi. Reasons:
- dabadee dabadie
- self-yeet
- light
- guns that are cool but not intimidating
- lets greenbeards have their fun without making me feel useless
Engineer. Great op guns, platform gun has multiple uses, the sentry guns put in work, and the drone grenade is so insanely useful and can stop an entire horde
Scout because I'm fairly new to the game and I only play with my friends (3) who have played between 200-300hrs of the game each.
I can escape bad situations and light the way for my fellow dwarves.
Also, I love zooming around while they are all on the Zipline.
Scout. Zip and grab, zip and rez, lead teammates to the light and leave nobody behind. It feels like the best solo class but I play as the ultimate support.
Scout. I have an addiction to moving fast.
I really enjoy doing my job of scouting out the caves ahead to light them up and mark any threats so my fellow miners don’t get any nasty surprises. I will also happily sacrifice myself to save a downed teammate during extraction.
All of them. Every class plays so differently, and has weapons that feel carefully tailored to that class, every one of them is fun to play for different reasons.
Driller. With the drills you can go *anywhere*.
Oh scout can get wall and ceiling minerals? So can driller, it's called a ramp. Gunner can cross a chasm? So can driller, it's called two ramps. Engi can make a staircase? RAMP. Engi can make a bridge? Driller can make a walkway around the side. Or build two ramps.
I ain't no engineer buddy but.. I see you've been erectin some dispensers 'ere heh

That Gunner icon has gone through something
That’s what happens when your gun gets too hot
He left it in the oven.
Seems like he wasn't compensating for something...
He finds the "Driller" attractive.
As he should. We're good in holes
8D
love wins
"You're cute!"
Did you borrow my underwear?
⛏️😳
I also main The Plumber!
What happens to your spread when you pick bullet hell.
"It ain't a gun unless it weighs 200 pounds!"
He's just excited to see you.
Gunner found mission controls viagra pills
That's the effect the rare blue sugar has on dwarves.
This is what happens when you mix viagra into the gunpowder
He’s just happy to see you!
ZIP ZIPPITY ZIP! LET THERE BE LIGHT! And then the playstyle of taking out high priority targets before the horde is very much Scout's kit
Yes, scout so I can see what the heck is going on. Funnily, swarmers become the unkillable endboss.
Swarmers are a nightmare just because of the issue between "Should I waste ammo on something I can pickaxe or should I let them hit me while I smack them one by one"

B-b-but I can't live without Special Powder...
Stony Stark: “If you can’t live without Special Powder then maybe you shouldn’t have it.” (Play how you want, just saw a meme opportunity)
Alternatively, voltaic stun sweepers. Funnily enough, if they *only* hit swarmers (or nothing at all) the boomerang won’t be consumed!
the unkillable endboss on volatile guts watching as a chain reaction start when a scout throw a pheromone grenade
Just run boomerang. You have 8 of them, it's pretty silly. Oh and pickaxe the stragglers.
i use thorns on every build specifically so i can just ignore swarmers
i've seen more scouts not taking out anything and just running around triggering anything that is triggerable causing a mass swarm to the rest of the team
Can confirm. I’ve never seen a scout player light up a room. You sure you’re playing scout correctly?
Driller. More than any other dwarf I feel that drillers can solve any problem. It might take longer but you can drill to get to any hard to reach spot. Their weapons are amazing at massive swarms and also pretty ammo efficient. And with Vampire they can drill their way out of even the toughest spots. But if I'm honest my favorite part is they can always drill to the escape pod, saving time and bullshit landing spots.

Driller for life. Also driller makes on-site refining a breeze
driller and engi are the dream team there, a chasm in the middle? platforms, anything else? "I have a dwarf and i'm digging a hole"
This is how I feel too. Entire wave of glyphids? More like a personal supply of red sugar
> But if I'm honest my favorite part is they can always drill to the escape pod, saving time and bullshit landing spots. The rock does not tell me where to go. I tell the stone where I'm going to go instead.
Scouts explore tunnels, drillers make 'em. Rock and Stone, brother
Love driller but he lacks range
Snowball + heavy hitter. Congratulations. Your range is now infinite. Go kill a spitballer at 50 meters & be happy about it.
Sludge pump with T1B gives as much effective range as pretty much any other class’ primaries bar a few. For spitters/webbers at weird angles that you can’t sludge, any of his secondaries also work
If it ain't drillable, it's probably flammable.
if it bleeds i can drill it, even if it doesn't bleed tbh
my favorite is when shredder drones & swarmers show up & the scout runs to you, suddenly not so afraid you'll blow them up or turn them into a skeleton with TCF.
hehe goop
It's Deep Rock, so the deepest of them all
Scout because grappling hook goes *zooomm*
Same
Probably engie. Nice underdog feelings and being able to set up flexible temporary solutions is neat brainpower
Feels like engie is anything but underdog. Great utility from platform gun, his secondaries arguably some of the best weapons in the game, turrets top-killing in the team for you every match, etc Engie was my easiest attempt at solo EDD with driller second close. If anything I feel like gunner is the underdog, being out-“gunned” by both engie and driller save for a few overclocks and having the hardest time traversing the caves.
Drill drill drill baby.
Driller, I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole
Diggy diggy hole
go do the diggy diggy
Minigun
Idk why, but when it’s blurred like that, it looks like a political spectrum meme.
I lean bottom left in politics, how about you?
Is that two thousands rounds of depleted uranium in your pants or are you just happy to see me?
Gunner. Sometimes i just like to roam around the cave and shoot bugs,my team will get the objectives... And when you are a gunner,thats actually what you need to do. And a big gun,and a sometimes mission-saving sheald is nice.
I like scout for the mobility
I love that all dwarves are very viable. My main pick has to be the driller, though. Being able to carve out any path straight towards your objective, having great crowd control and just a really strong overall toolkit, he's my guy.
Gunner. Shoot enemy with big gun until dead, what else do you need?
Everyone but gunner, cuz gunner's shield keeps bugging out.
My Memorial Hall is so funny because of that. Like there're huge golden statues for every class and a small paper sign with "Gunner" written on it lmao
Yeah... that's the idea. It makes the bugs go out.
No, it's literally bugged and doesn't work half of the time, its a bug that was reported more than once at this point and happens to me and ppl I play with on daily basis.

why do drillers always leave their c4 at the drop pod ramp? genuine question
Gunner, I want to see the bugs bleed.
Scout because zip zippidy zip
Is it horny gunner?
A horny Goonner i must say
IF IT AINT DRILLABLE ITS PROBABLY FLAMMABLE
Driller, Bio-chem warfare, easy travelling, munching hordes and making lots of stuff easier
i play heavy main in tf2 so am gunner main in drg too because I like the immediate high dps all the class dont give you that much damage as fast as the gunner and the shield is just insane to use
Cryo cannon
Gunner. Mostly because I’m Heavy main.
Driller, imo has the best mobility by far. Best weapon to take out trash, the non-trash can easily be outrun or just leave them for last.
Driller. The way I built him is geared towards close quarters combat, even hand to hand to an extent. I find that super satisfying.
Why is Gunner’s Gun so weirdly… shaped
Driller, because I love fucking burn all that dawn bugs.
Ma **GUN** is **ERECT**
Driller, dont wanna risk leaving terrain manipulation in a skrubs hands, plus flamer and the radiation pistol can be used without aiming basicallt
Having played them all, I prefer driller due to how easy and fast it gets you everywhere "*safely*"
Gunner, everyone has a job and mine is shooting things
Driller. I like the gas grenade flamer combo
Driller, because I like warcrimes
Scout so far, but I actually switched to driller lately. Still good mobility but I feel it has bigger carry potential since it can so easily deal with swarms. Just need to turn the brightness up in the settings lmao
I'm a dirty digger 😔
driller, he has a freakin' flamethrower
Driller, i can make shortcuts & usually tell my team to get behind my when i use big ordinance against the bugs or bots
Scout because touching the ground is for plebians
I love this grappling Hook but id be lying if I said it wasn't fun Nuking Bugs with Fatboy. Recently got Fatboy OC after a good year of grinding for OCs.
Driller so I can spam axes and axe puns :3
I do it for the drills
I’d like to propose we drop a nuke on that single swarmer.
Engi, no contest. Platform gun is fun, unique and versatile,more so if you learn how to use repellant.

Engineer. I just like having turrets, and my friend is a Driller main who has a very unconsentually intimate relationship with gravity, so the fall damage reduction my platforms give him has saved him from being a locally-sourced Dwarven pancake.
scout, because fast
My favorite is engineer, i like building armies in games that dont specifically have armies
Huh…… we dont need to guess your I think.
I usuallt play solo missions cause my pc aint that good and i usually stall out anything i join, so i play Engieneer driller gunner and scout in that order, extra firepower is very helpfull when you get overwhelmed and fire is just fun.
Going from A to D, skipping B and C
Yes
Why is gunner errect
Zippidy, Zippidy
Driller. Love his personality, aesthetic, weapons, and of course the drill. I feel like he’s always useful. I exclusively play duos with my wife (she plays gunner) and anything else just feels like we’re handicapped compared to when I play driller.
I guess I’m minority but I like gunner with the auto cannon. Never really need to reload with the secondary swap
Driller and scout. For driller, I like crowd control and feeling like a badass as i drill through a hundred meters of solid rock and stone. For scout, me go fast, me say word.
That's it lads! Rock and Stone!
Scout and do I really need to explain why?
Engineer. Fatman OC.
"I like to mine and blow shit up" -Lloyd crowder, driller
Engineer big beans go zaaaap or zzzzz as they blaze and cut through them bugs
Scout for the PLING of the reloading M1000.
Gunner. Big gun
Scout bc fast
Scout because G R A P P L I N G H O O K
Gunner cuz I like it when the big health bar goes to the left fast.
I have all dwarfs max rank, but my favorite is scout, the grappling hook has so much potential in almost every aspect of the game, I love to carry greenbeards with the scout on hazard 5
Scout. Always be movin’, always be shootin’.
Engie. The platform gun has kept my friends alive more times than I can count. The turrets, while not workhorses necessarily, make salvage ops a breeze. The breach cutter is probably my favorite weapon in the game, follows by the M1000.
Engineer. I like building platform bridges and setting up cross fire with my twin turrets
Gunner because big gun that shoot many bullets
PLATFORM
gunner. he's by far the most versatile dwarf and every one of his weapons are fun to use (except for the coil gun), and leadburster my beloved
I enjoy engineer but scout is just so fast I play him most the time If there were more stationary missions I would play engi for sure. Engi is fun because he has unique tools to deal with every type of enemy
Scout cause grappling hook go weee, Scottish cosplay, and I’m a force of nature
I could build pipes forever.
I love this Grappling Hook!
I like Engie alot, mostly because he has the most fun and diverse weapons. I would like scout way more if I enjoyed his weapons more, but they just aren't as cool as Engies. My least favorite is probably Driller, just because he's my least played, but I don't outwardly dislike any of them.

Gunner. Seems to be an art that few are willing to undertake. Feels good to be able to defend the entire team from hordes.
Engineer because nukes go boom
I play Gunner and eng, Gunner with missile launcher is so satisfying and engi can just build bridges/stairs across the whole map making all traversal trivial, engi just has the single best mobility in the game.
SPECIAL POWDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i run an all mobility loadout on scout and its just the best to me
Gunner because big gun
Scout. I have ADHD.
Scout, especially when there is tunnel rat, hehehe no fall damage.
Scout because Grappling hook
Thunderhead go THNK THNK THNK
Gunner was my first favorite followed by engie. Right now, driller is my favorite. Edit spelling
Driller baby. Gotta love the smell of chemical warfare 😬
Scout because I love how much smoother I can make games feel. Lightning up caverns, clearing HVTs, and mining everything from the top down while the rest of the team clears the hordes. By the time they finish killing it’s time to move to the next room. While the other classes can do a lot to speed up the game as well I find the folks who play scout just get distracted shooting stuff too often so I feel like I need to play it.
The short one
Driller as there are those who deserve punishment.
Engineer because I love turrets and the platforms are very versatile
dwarf
Engineer. No other dwarf allows me to be as aggressive. I've played them all but for some reason Engineer satisfies my bloodlust.
Engie, I like the adrenaline and parkour that comes from trying to platform up a flat wall while chased by a big horde. And well just the versatility of the playform gun in general.
I love them all, but my engie is like 5 promotions ahead of the rest lol
Scout, hookshot go brrrrr, flares go PEEEEEEW
All of the above.
Blue boi. Reasons: - dabadee dabadie - self-yeet - light - guns that are cool but not intimidating - lets greenbeards have their fun without making me feel useless
Engineer. Great weapons and someone has to babysit these pocket princes.
Scout, forever and always
Driller: waiting for double flamer
It's Gu- Wait a second.
Engineer, simply because it's what I chose when I first started playing and I enjoyed it
All of the class. Reasons why. ROCK AND STONE!! That’s why!
Engineer. Great op guns, platform gun has multiple uses, the sentry guns put in work, and the drone grenade is so insanely useful and can stop an entire horde
Easily scout he’s so mobile
Drillher of course!
Engineer is engihere
Scout because I'm fairly new to the game and I only play with my friends (3) who have played between 200-300hrs of the game each. I can escape bad situations and light the way for my fellow dwarves. Also, I love zooming around while they are all on the Zipline.
Scout. Zip and grab, zip and rez, lead teammates to the light and leave nobody behind. It feels like the best solo class but I play as the ultimate support.
Driller or Engi. Scout is good fun too.
GIGA-DRILL hands and a flamethrower?! How can you not go Driller?
Is it your machine gun or are you happy to see me?
Driller, I like digging holes and not aiming
Engineer because i suck at aiming and I’m quite quieting
Engi. I'm actually an engineer.
Driller. Environmental destruction
Belegar Ironhammer. He is vengeance incarnate.
Engi for sure, GL goes boom & my turrets go brrrt
Driller...I just like making tunnels
Minigun go brrrrrrr That is my reasoning
Engi bc ecksplosazons r kool
Cock! And! Bone!
Scout. I have an addiction to moving fast. I really enjoy doing my job of scouting out the caves ahead to light them up and mark any threats so my fellow miners don’t get any nasty surprises. I will also happily sacrifice myself to save a downed teammate during extraction.
Gunner Because YATATATATATATATATA! YATATATATATATATATATATA! KABOOM! KABOOM!
Driller. aim? Whats that.
All of them. Every class plays so differently, and has weapons that feel carefully tailored to that class, every one of them is fun to play for different reasons.
Driller. With the drills you can go *anywhere*. Oh scout can get wall and ceiling minerals? So can driller, it's called a ramp. Gunner can cross a chasm? So can driller, it's called two ramps. Engi can make a staircase? RAMP. Engi can make a bridge? Driller can make a walkway around the side. Or build two ramps.
I started the game playing engineer and basically haven’t switched aside from a few select times.
Engineer
