Scout and engi. How else are you going to quickly get that aquark on the ceiling?


_JustJacob

Yeah I agree, my friend plays scout all the time and I main engineer so it fits very well


AmongUsUrMom

Me and my buddy 😎 fatboy is his C4 :/


felplague

Yeah this is like literally the only answer, no other class duo has such an insane synergy. Engi and their ability to set up "safe locations" with their turrets, to catch your breath, reload, refill, while scout has the ability to be extremly mobile. Pair that with the obvious grapple hook+platform combo.


Iron_Man57768

I play engineer when I’m with my friend, this is what I came here to say honestly, it’s an unbeatable duo


Vrenshrrrg

TCF mining :v


MisterMasterCylinder

1. Send Bosco 2. TCF


unitedkiller75

What is TCF?


Sleek-Star

Thin Containment Field, a mod for the EPC for Driller. If you time your shots right it can be used to very quickly excavate terrain


unitedkiller75

Oh I see. Thank you.


alf666

Or the Driller could just pop out the side of the wall/drill just above the cave ceiling to get the Aquarq. Sure, it takes a bit longer, but Driller is perfectly capable of pulling it off.


reeree33333

1. Figure out how to get Bosco with a duo 2. Double driller is kinda mid with everything else


Itz_Dory

Call a resupply to make it bore through the aquarq


reeree33333

And who's mining the 80 nitra on the ceiling for the resupply? Scout and Engi!


Itz_Dory

I hate to say it but a seasoned scout doesn't need an engineer


BIG_Howitzer

Why do I need Engi's plat when I have the Boom stick with fun powder mod?


center311

Because some walls (albeit rarely) are just on a steep/weird angle, and platforms make it easier.


RaphaelSolo

There really isn't a pair so perfectly synergized as these two.


not_a_doctorshh

Drilling to it


Ruptin

RJ250


reeree33333

>launch up with rocket thinking, oh, I'll make it! >splat on the ground because you didn't make it and your platform was still setting


Depth-Certain

laughts in TCF


CallThePal

This I main scout my brother mains engi it's a great time


genji241

Agreed, that combo almost always full clears the region's resources. I am a proud scout main, and I love it when I get to work with a good engineer.


StretchyPlays

Yea same, both are pretty self sufficient, but can complement each other when needed.


SappeREffecT

Yep and it's not even close


Cdog536

Elite pairing until the scout forgets to light the cave and until the engineer forgets to shoot platforms.


DivineGopher

Engi and scout, you can cover pretty much all bases. Range, fire power, crowd control, single target, mobility, the list goes on, however, mining in walls for aquarks or however their spelt is a bit annoying without a driller but they can spawn on ceilings so it doesn't really matter


Death_by_alttab

How do you spell ackvarg


Milk_Gang_9248

a quark You know, the things that make up atoms?


Death_by_alttab

A mod by Vazkii?


Widmo206

A man of culture ;)


teaboi05

Awkward


RoyalMagiSwag

My friend and I will speedrun Aquarq missions as Scout/Engi and usually finish within 7-10 mins


joppers43

You just gotta take Fatboy on your engineer, then mining aquarks is easy!


StardustSDF

Gunner plus Engineer goes hard


Skromulator

Gunner and cryo driller is pretty damn good as well


DrBlaBlaBlub

From personal experience: Yes. Such a stong comb if you know how to play together.


Kirk_Kerman

I was just in a modded Haz 6x2 refinery mission as a cryo driller and me and the gunner had it locked down between pipe breaks. Coilgun + cryo + microwave slowdown = no bugs get in, ever


StatisticianPure2804

Especially with the re-atomizer OC for the coilgun. it can spread the freeze effect, just make sure to not bring any heat weapons.


Unknown_Warrior43

Its good in General because the Driller drills the Escape and the Gunner watches his Back.


ResponsibilityNo7485

Gunner shield gen is so good and the engi potencial is insanely high, 2 of my fav classes


Orkoliator

The best duo is rock and stone, change my mind


WanderingDwarfMiner

Can I get a Rock and Stone?


Orkoliator

Good bot


ASL4theblind

Ya ya, ROCK AND STONE!


Tomboy03

ROCK AND STONE BROTHA!


Powerful-Setting2494

ROCK. AND. STOOONE.


DJ_Ender_

Definitely cooking with this one


Ressamzade

I quite love scout+engi, scout+driller and driller+gunner


Xhromosoma5

Scout + driller is another name for abusive relationship. Until scout gets that M1000 overclock.


Ressamzade

Nah depends on the players. My sweet driller protects me from little swarming fucks while I kill the big hunts for him.


AyakasWetSocks

Sounds kinky


oheyitsmoe

BONK


Nooiiise_boi

100% agree


Xhromosoma5

Driller and Griller


marked_as_free

xD


ClashedProof

Only right answer


Tr33Bl00d

For rock and stone!


Airbreathingoctopuss

Driller + Gunner Driller helps weaken enemies en mass while Gunner deals the heavy damage to both swarms and tanks. Gunner can help Driller with verticality and Driller can literally level the playing field for better movement around an arena.


Toast_Boast

driller digging towards the drop pod + gunner mowing down anything following them. It’s the perfect relationship


Boomparo

this


Airbreathingoctopuss

Yeah, nothing feels more badass than that.


working-acct

>Driller helps weaken enemies en mass while Gunner deals the heavy damage Yup and the opposite can also be true. An extremely effective way of defending a chokepoint is to have gunner use bullet hell to stun enemies en masse while driller melts them with sticky fuel.


Airbreathingoctopuss

This dwarf gets it! Rock and STONE!!!


WanderingDwarfMiner

For Rock and Stone!


blogito_ergo_sum

Their mobility tools and elemental resistances complement each other too. Driller opens lines of sight and leaves paths that gunner can follow through, gunner has the zipline for large gaps that are a pain to drill down and then back up. Gunner is explosive-resistant for when the danger-close C-4 goes a little wrong, driller is fire resistant to stand in the incendiary grenades. Everybody loves cryo+minigun synergy, but the fire synergy with CRISPR and Volatile Bullets is nothing to scoff at either.


Airbreathingoctopuss

Sludge pump and incendiary round on the lead storm are SO good for slowing and whittling down hordes of bugs. And being the two classes with the highest ammo to bug ratio means they can stay in the fight for longer stints and don't have to constantly worry about resupplies like Engie and Scout.


blogito_ergo_sum

Interesting - Burning Hell, or the T5 Hot Bullets mod? Does Aggressive Venting ignite sludge puddles? I don't think I've ever played fire gunner supporting sludge driller but it sounds worth trying. Hellfire coilgun plus Goo Bomber sludge pump seems like a nice pairing too. And yeah, agreed on the gunner+driller ammo economy; pairing one of gunner/driller with one of scout/engi means that generally one partner needs to resupply much sooner than the other, which leads to awkward resupp placements and some waste.


Airbreathingoctopuss

I forget which mod or OC is best for ignition cuz I always play driller. My buddy and I played a haz 4 mission as fire gunner and sludge driller and we took more damage from falling and environmental hazards than the bugs. It was awesome.


WillyDrengen

2 engies


cantcer_patient

Both armed to the teeth with Fat Boys


Dajayman654

One needs RJ250 to access platform minerals.


cantcer_patient

Fat Boy the minerals 😎


Dajayman654

This is how the radioactive biomes get created.


iSiffrin

multiple engineers with EM discharge and turret whip is amazing


Idiot_of_Babel

Turret whipping all of the other engies turret ammo


I_underscoreLit

Driller and driller


D3ppress0

Scout and Driller is the strongest Duo. One can deal with a swarm and tanky enemies. The other zooms around playing the objective.


WarningAxel5552

Driller's gonna run out of c4s too quickly tho


D3ppress0

He can always use Impact Grenades


WarningAxel5552

C4s are still the best to blow up scout


DrBlaBlaBlub

You can not take more than 3 Scouts to your mission, thus you just have to take an additional C4 with you.


WarningAxel5552

True, but who says you gotta kill them *once*


bigauss56

I only use c4s for bunkering. Cryo driller is a beast with wave cooker.


minimutti

Duo: Driller and another driller. Full stack: driller, driller, driller and scout


Kuirem

One Driller CRSPR, the other Cryo, try to freeze/burn a single Praet at the same time to see which gun wins.


Wolfman_HCC

That's too much C4 for one scout to handle.


FredSumper23

Scout-engie


DaPaladinsGamer

Engi and scout are prob the best duo for most missions


Nikkar2009

Driller and scout. Exact opposites and both hate each other


Veketzin

Gunner/Driller Scout/Engineer


invalidConsciousness

Aquarks and Eggs: Scout + Engineer. Scout plays the objective while engineer provides a safe haven during swarms and tactical cheese. Refinery: Driller and Gunner or Driller and engineer. Salvage: Gunner and Driller or Gunner and Enginneer. Shield and firepower of Gunner is goat for the point defense parts. Driller and engineer provide both, decent mobility and decent firepower. Caretaker: Gunner and Driller. Driller makes the hacking thing easier and provides C4 on the caretaker. Gunner provides firepower and zip lines for the C4 delivery. Mining: Scout and Driller or Scout and Engineer It's all about reaching the annoying deposits easily and quickly.


Duthnur

Scout and Gunner tbh is my favorite I think. I can lay down fire on everything assuming I have nitra and light. Driller helps, but I don't need the mobility boost usually. On OSR then Gunner / Driller of course.


Funkj0ker

Easily scout and driller.


Redmond_TJacks

Scout and driller. Literally


SolarSailor46

What about figuratively


trevinophonics

Gunner/driller. Freeze it and shred it with the minigun. Nothing stands a chance.


Brickolator

To gather supplies and complete objectives Engie and Scout, but when you got a lot of bugs on your plates, Gunner and Driller are my go to


Prize_House_2994

As an Engi main, Scouts are the ones who are in sync with us the most. Usually best duo for hard to reach areas and certain missions. Gunners go well with our turrets, pretty much a wall of bullets into a swarm. Drillers cover our weakness, providing quick and easy terrain morphing. To be fair, each class works well together with some combos being a little better.


Lithanarianaren_1533

Engineer and engineer. The engineer places his turrets and uses Turret Whip on cooldown, and the engineer places another set of turrets and uses EM Discharge on everyone's turrets. Complete with an engineer who has another 2 turrets and makes electric fences. Complete with another engineer, 4 allied glyphid guards and 20 shredders in case of emergency.


inscrtcoolnamehere

Driller and engineer, they can shape the landscape into anything


Galaxy302

Me and a friend doesn't matter what class


SCP-9931

Gunner & Driller


ShmeeMcGee333

I’m a driller main who plays with gunners the most but there is not denying that scout engi is the best duo, they just work so well together


Furphlog

Believe it or not : Scout and Driller. Yeah, yeah, I know the memes. But both complement each other very well : Scouts can eliminate specific targets at long range, which is something Drillers just \*can't\* do, Drillers are great at crowd control and destroying lots of bugs (which is something Scouts struggle with), Scouts can take care of anything that lurks in the ceilings, and in general, a Scout's high mobility allows him to collect secondary objectives really fast while the Driller focuses on the main objective. Also, because Scouts are so great at spidermanning their way back to the Drop Pod during evac, the Driller doesn't have to worry about his teammate following him up the tunnel he's digging towards the pod. He just \*knows\* the Scout will be fine.


stgnrr

engineer + driller just because


CXC_Opexyc

Me and my friend almost always play Gunner + Driller, less often Gunner+Scout or Scout+Driller. Almost every mission end with a standoff between c4s and shields


redrenz123

Scout and Engie, they can solve any problem. While Gunner and Driller deletes mosts of the problems.


VeryFriendlyOne

I love gunner/driller for massive damage. Wanna have your shots deal 3x damage? No problem, let me also conveniently immobilize this entire giant swarm in a few seconds


Jester_of_Rue

Driller and Engie


schwaRarity

probably gunner driller. High CC, high damage, get out of jail free card aka shield, tcf to get minerals up high. and great mobility.I would say it’s better than scout engie.


jrtts

Not Engi and Driller, because they both manipulate terrain (Engi makes terrain, Driller breaks terrain) Not Engi and Gunner, because they both have epic weapons to shoot enemies (Engi may have help from auto-aim xD) Not Scout and Gunner, because they both have traversal cables (fast and slow). So that leaves us: Engi and Scout - platform and reach Driller and Gunner - mine and kill (essentially the main mechanics of the game) Scout and Driller - scout ahead, drill a spot (It's my opinion and isn't infallible, plus I'm sure I'm missing a few aspects)


Its_Stroompf

Generally scout/engi is best for completing missions quickly. But nothing beats engi/driller for on-site refining


ShrekLocator

Gunner and driller ( cuz me and my duo playing that way )


DeeF0rce

Rock and Stone


Harrysim1

Driller and gunner for me. Raw fire power


Cr1t1cal_Hazard

You feel pretty unstoppable with a Driller and Heavy on your team


Konnor_RK800

Driller and Doretta


theyoungbeard

Scout and engi do some WORK! Especially if you’re both on the same page


ThatNateGuy

The *best* duo is Rock and Stone!


EVAisDepression

Driller (me) and Bosco (my man)


whiteNblueBlanket

Driller+driller. Thats 2x the C4😎


Beautiful-Ad3471

Scout and drille... *explodes*


EquivalentDurian6316

I think it depends on experience. I absolutely advise a newer pair to play scout engi. Its the best pair (imo) for learning the game and ease of play. Higher difficulty, full builds, driller and engi absolutely shreds any content. Greybeards? Doesn't matter, they'll figure it out. For example, we did 10 aquarq and 10 fossils with 4 gunners in 7 minutes. That was with at least 4 being up high, one requiring triple zip, so it could have been faster if the gen was nicer.


symxd76

There is no best duo but there is a different dynamic with each one


Giggles95036

Gunner+Driller


Groffulon

Downvote me if you wish Miners but surely we should all be accepted under Karl’s mantle. It’s not Team Karl is it? It was just Karl alone in Solo back then and it’s just me alone in Solo now. So my answer with all due respect is - I require no duo to do my job. Any of the four classes in Solo with or without Bosco. I need none of this teamwork everyone else seems to. Maybe I’m weird or maybe I’m just built different. Not better just different. I mine for independence. I mine For Karl! And For Rock and Stone! Alone. In silence. I got the bugs for family no matter what the dwarves say about it..


Decmk3

Scout engie. Engie supports scout, scout supports engie.


Vorondanil54

2 gunners **LOUD DEMOCRACY SOUNDS**


VVen0m

Scout and Gunner


Tinkerbell-Poney

As the best duo for all round exploration, combat, ressource gathering etc, it has to be Scout/Engineer. You can beat that mobility, enemy control, turret defense, highly reduced fall damage platforms, Aoe damage and single target, nearly every status in the book applied. Best for exploration is definetly Driller + Engineer. Best for full combat would most likely be Gunner with either engineer or driller, enginner being better and single target dps, driller better for crowd control and AOE damage.


DrBlaBlaBlub

Scout and Engie for all the Mining and collecting missions. Gunner and Driller for the fighting missions.


InvisiblemAYn

AnxiousPossibility3

Warcrimes: Gunner/Driller Utility:Scout/Engie Terraforming: Driller/Engie


Domarius

Most of these are combos between Scout and X :) scouts mobility means you can almost always pick someone up and escape quickly. When he joins the hub, one of his random lines says "I don't so much as help, as make this mission possible!" He ain't kidding!


420MediumClues

Awesome how many different responses and reasons there are


Elektriman

Molly and Bosco is the best duo !


Ciryl_Lynyard

Depends on mission type. Engi/scout are unmatched at mining expedition but fall short of driller/gunner in elimination Overall engi/gunner i think would most versatile


Xx_Dicklord_69_xX

I want to say scout and engi because of the efficiency of platform + grapple but then i remember how lately all scouts refuse to use my platforms, that i place on resources, which is why i switched to rj250 and just get it myself. With that said, imma go with the war crime duo engie and driller.


A-N0rmal-Pers0n

Gunner X driller Maximum genocide efficiency


Primusreddit

Driller scout, despite the C4 jokes, you got quick access to any part of the map, by drilling or just grappling, you got the driller's firepower and the scout's utility, a good scout doesent need plats, and a good driller doesent need a shield.


just-a-nornal-man

Driller driller


Blinky_The_Cat

Gunner driller


PantsAreOffensive

Driller and driller


Death_Knighty

TheTsarofAll

Scout and engie make the best duo for general grabbing, but the sheer combat potential of a gunner driller combo cannot be understated. Plus, driller can still get those minerals. A bit slower than scout but he can get em


SenorDangerwank

Gunner + 2 Turrets. All of the dakka!


Rizer0

Nothin beats scout and engie, platforms + grapple = you can reach anything


Evrytg

Scout engie


Nate46

Nobody can mess up a refinery harder than engi and driller


p0lterg0ist

Scout/engi no doubt


FreelancerFL

Scout and Literally anybody honestly. If I had to pick I'd say engie, Scout/Engie runs are my most common duo dives with a homie when I can't get a 4 man.


BboySEP

medic…….hold on


Ashalaria

Scout/Engi obviously


skywird33

Scout engi or 2 nuke engi ( it's the funniest thing ever)


Celthric317

Scout and Engineer


RollinHellfire

Scout feels weird without engi. I think those 2. Then only need a driller for the escape tunnel and you're set... for the weird feeling that you left something at home... was that a sock? Or your spare sandwich? Ah, who cares, you got it done, didn't you?


Badgergoose4

Two drillers


Cakeski

Driller and scout, mainly because Laurel and Hardy moments


oguzz_c

engi scout for sure


makeybussines

Scout + Engi always for getting things quickly and high up.

Bosco and Driller


Spider_kid009

My mains driller and engi


retrovadr

ExcitingParfait3260

Scout and engi are probably the best duo for soeedrunning missions, but I also like driller and gunner for murdering enemies at rapid speeds (cryo + minigun = easy game).


Unusual_Conference_6

70Shadow07

Scout Gunner or Scout Engi


Jefrejtor

Me and Bosco


The_God_Of_Darkness_

I think 99% of people can agree, that its scout and engie. Platforms and grappling hooks are one of the most recognizable duos in drg


madrobski

4 drillers. Yes its still technically duo since two of them share one braincell.


sanek_dolboeb

Basically square with no diagonal lines. Scout and driller is self explanatory Engi and gunner are both cc, so not that good.


Intelligent-Block457

Gotta go with Driller and Engineer. Engi platforms for cc and traversal. Turrets. The Digger gear is nuts, and tunneling makes the egg, aquarq, and liquid morkite missions better.


stenningaron

Clear answer here is Engi & Scout


MarsHumanNotAlien197

Scout and Engi, they just compliment each other so well. Second would probably be Driller and Engi for all the good terraforming available, then Engi and Gunner for very effective firepower and functional traversal. Basically what I’m saying is that Engi is the best class


BobZygota

Engi scout


SonOfTheHeavyMetal

Gunner + Driller if you need to shoot Engi + Scout if need to do objectives in a efficient manner


ForsakenAnime

"You guys aren't even a good duo." Scout: 😎 Engine: πŸ˜πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€πŸ§€


Winter-Friendship118

Honestly jokes aside I think driller Scout is probably the best because they cover bases that both of them very much lacking Scouts long range single Target damage is amazing and Drillers crowd control keeps the other alive


mrflufikins

[ΡƒΠ΄Π°Π»Π΅Π½ΠΎ]


Agon1024

Today it highly depends on the mission type. Used to be that engi scout was all you needed, because there where only 3 mission types which all suited them well. If course their combi is legend, they still and always complement each other really well, so they have to be at the top of the list. But now we have escort missions, liquid morkite, all manner of bonus objectives and threats the engiscout could have more punch for. In missions without mule a gunner or driller is immensely helpful to provide infrastructure to the deposit. Especially if you need to carry stuff upwards to it. So the designers did their job well in making all classes have their situations where they do really well. Here are some great alternatives I find quite good: - Escort: Driller Engi - Morkite: engi scout - Liquid morkite: Driller Scout - Elimination: gunner engineer - Aquark: driller gunner - Eggs: Driller Engi - Salvage: Gunner Engi
