Engineer
Engineer is one of the classes currently playable in Roboquest.
Primary Ability
Engineer's primary ability is Deploy. Activating Deploy summons a friendly Drone partner that circles the player. While circling, the drone will target enemies and fire at them every 0.7 seconds, dealing a base 10 damage per shot. Without modification, the base number of deployable drones is 2, and the perk has a 16 second cooldown between uses.
Collecting scrap affects Deploy cooldown times, reducing the cooldown by 1 second for each scrap collected.
Secondary Ability
Engineer's secondary ability is Blaster. Blaster is a projectile-based override with a 3 second cooldown. When used, Blaster fires a projectile that deals 55 points of explosive damage against the enemies it hit in a 2 meter radius.
Scrap blaster has the secondary effect of generating scrap upon succesfully hitting an enemy. 3 scraps are generated upon a succesful hit. When collected, scrap can directly decrease the cooldown of Deploy and also synergizes with certain Engineer upgrades.
Passive Ability
Engineer's passive ability is Tinkerer. Tinkerer changes Engineer's primary ability when the maximum number of Drones is deployed; in this situation, Deploy will now heal all currently deployed Drones to maximum health rather than deploying another Drone. This passive also allows for 1 scrap to be dropped upon eliminating any enemy.
Each class has their own set of Perks specific to them, as well as their own unique set of Class Upgrades.
The player can choose a Perk (Which is Class-Locked) at Levels 2, 4, 7 and 10 for a total of four Perks. Each class has 16 Perks in total.
All Perks unlock two Upgrades which can be obtained along with Common Upgrades and Class Upgrades at Levels 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15. Extra upgrades can be obtained from the secret book item and by interacting with the defeated guardian npc in Doom Gardens or Ruins. An extra upgrade is given at the start of your run if the Starter Boost is unlocked in the workshop.
As shown below, Baby Boom is a Perk. Lucky Powder and Group Discount are Upgrades, which need to be unlocked by themselves after Baby Boom is obtained.

Perk/Upgrades values updated as of Cells update, August 2024.
To calculate the amount of damage skills on this page do on what level, you can use this formula:
a * (-0.25 + 0.b * 2.5 + 1) =
a is where you insert a Level 1 damage value on this page.
b is where you insert the level. Turn the 0 to the left of b into a 1 if it's level 10 or higher.
The result is a rough estimate (due to the game rounding hidden decimals) of the damage the skill will do at the specified level.
