Why is it I can’t use any utilities underwater as an engineer? Is this intended? For all 80 levels, all I had underwater was the 1-5 slot skills + heal and the corresponding F1 skill, nothing else, no matter what I picked. But now I read people are using grenades underwater?? I also noticed in sPvP I can deploy the supply drop underwater, however not in PvE?

You need to rebind everything. Underwater is a completely different bar set.

wait… you got to level 80 and never tried equipping skills while underwater?
not to sound like a jerk, but did you buy your character or have one of them gold farmers power level you or something?

You’re right, I’m getting senile xD For some reason I expected the utility skills to stay the same through the transitions. Never really needed them anyway, so I assumed that’s how it is. Consider the topic closed.

Or he may have simply skipped all underwater content until now since he thought he’s significantly weaker there. Please do not accuse recklessly.

No, this is valid and needs to be addressed in the UI. I did the same thing, got to 80 (and a little past) never having equipped an underwater utility. When I mentioned something in map chat, I was not the only one (brightened a couple people’s day!)

Keep in mind, when a player first ventures into water, they typically do not have any utility skills. What they experience is: they go into water, their weapon automatically switches to the underwater version, and all their utilities are locked. Now, once a player has unlocked skills, they will go into water, however they are A)already accustomed to their bar switching automatically and B )the utility slots being locked underwater. It’s a pretty easy mistake to make.

I think everyone made the same mistake. It’s very easy to miss. And amazing once you find out!

Though granted the default weapon skills for engies underwater is already awesome (Yes, grenades is more awesome, but still!).
