Static Discharge is your best bet if you want that ‘insta kill’ vibe. Check here.
If you wish to see the build in action you can check this or this or this.

Keochana also has a good setup that does a ton of damage. You can find his guide here.

I would advice though to not go full zerker, you will have issues with people who actually know how to fight or tanky opponents while a slightly more defensive setup can give you that defense you need to be able to survive these encounters.

Hope it helps!

If you’re not afraid of dieing then this is the build I use most of the time.
I don’t play anythinn else other than zerker engineer.

This build is great in small Groups and in Tower defense. Especially for some surprise kitten kicking.

Sometimes, while roaming, I switch out rocket turret to Elixir S to get some stealth going. And also, most peopel dont like runes of scholar, but I Think they are great, they give alot of Power and ferocity. And you’d be surprised how often you’ll stay above 90% Health … unless you’re dead ofc.

Tips n tricks: Make sure they have no stun breakers left- use Overcharged shot, send off your Rocket- use net shot- Jump shot- grenade barrage. Pretty sweet combo.
Or combo with your elite.

The reason why I chose this over DS builds is bs this has more area burst which fits my play style of Tower defense/ roaming with friends.

Edit: It says in the editor that Rocket hits for 1,5k which is a lie. It will hit for 3k if youve maxed blood lust. And crit for about 7k on medium armoured classes.

I’ve had 6 crits on glass guards and warrs.

I run a very similar build to Ovalk but with thumper turret and a few different traits. Thumper gives access to three blast finishers and a stun break

The problem with SD is that fresh air does its job much better. I wouldn’t really call it that viable in spvp.

Unless you yolo run two SD engis with the yolo strat of pushing far to burst the kitten out of their home.

But yeah agreen with Spoon, fresh air ele is better because it has the same single-target burst, with better team support and sustain. The only small advantages SD has is cc because of rifle and small aoe bursts with the additional SD bounce.

This builds strenghts:
-A lot of Fury uptime from med kit+Googles+battering ram
-Easy and fast activing abilities that buff and deal very good burst dmg.
-Knockdown with rifle or ram and burts 3x static charge directly after so enemy cant dodge burst.

You can switch Speedy kits for reduced CD on gadgets or +10% crit chance i guess, whatever you like or need. You have switftness from med kit.
You can also take the knockback from turret trait instead +5%dmg in explosives.
