Guild Wars 2

Recently I’ve been torn to either use rifle or hammer in pve. I myself have been working getting The Predator, but with the power of the hammer I just cannot find a good build to use with rifle. I don’t want to get The Predator to just not use it, that’s just a waste honestly. :|
I like the perks of the Scrapper spec line, and gyros, but I cannot find a good build to synergize with a rifle.

Here is the current build I’ve been playing around with :

If anyone knows any better builds I am open to test them out.

My advice: just use the darn hammer. If you want some range in PvE, you got the flamethrower and elixirgun.

I still havent found a good use for the rifle. No really, I have tried to like it. Like real hard. I dont see any point in sPvP as hammer bunker better and pistol/pistol kill better, I dont see any point in WvW as hammer frontline better and pistol/pistol roam better. I fail to see the point.

Best case scenario is maybe some use in WvW backlining… but why would you ever do that with an engie?

So meh. Go hammer and enjoy it. I would not recommend the Predator unless you really really really like playing rifle warrior or something. An engie carrying what looked like a scoped .50 cal rifle… and you hipfire it. Uuuuugh. It irks me.

If it’s for looks, you can make nice outfits without the predator skin. Beter spend some money/time finding a good build/gamemode you like to play instead of wasting it on a predator imo.

Looks like an open world build. I have the perfect zero effort open world build for you. You can even use your rifle because having some range and quick burst on high might is nice….. and because you camp FT 99% of the time.

i changed some utilities on your build because purge sucks and crate is overnerfed and healing turret heals bulwark too
