Overview
A simple but strong power based engineer build for levelling or unlocking your first elite specialization. This build can hold its own in most open world situations and is very easy to play. It is somewhat tanky and has large amounts of crowd control, giving it permanent personal 
急速 due to 
反作用力.

Skill Variants
Healing Skills
The choice of heal skill is very open. We recommend 
治疗炮台 as it is simple to use, provides very high healing, and cleanses 2 conditions when first deployed while creating a water field where you can detonate the turret to generate even more healing (See: Guide:What are Combo Fields). Always pick up the turret or detonate it, as it will provide more healing over time than the super weak regeneration that leaving the turret deployed provides.
Other options can be considered:
医疗包 large heal with 
自我包扎. The kit also has condition cleanse, extra heal plus a water field, and defensive boons.
自动除颤 - helpful to negate a big attack or a oneshot, but poor healing if it doesn't, and has a helpful 2 second stun on the toolbelt skill 
静电冲击.
Utility Skills
投掷地雷 is great for damage and crowd control, there's no need to ever replace it.
炸弹包 requires a bit of skill to use to be constantly switching in and out of it, but provides good damage. Can be replaced if you hate Engineering Kits.
手雷包 requires a bit of skill to use to be constantly switching in and out of it, but provides good damage. Can be replaced if you hate Engineering Kits.
Other alternatives are:
U型试剂 - a good stun break and boon generation.
火箭飞靴 - for getting around faster. But provides no damage.
喷火器 - for tagging mobs in group events with 
烈焰喷射.- If you need extra crowd control (though Throw Mine already deals a lot) you can use
小型冲锤. 
C型试剂 - massive condition removal and heals per existing boon.
Elite Skills
We recommend 
空投补给 for its AoE stun and damage. Amazing except for its long cooldown. The toolbelt skill, 
医疗空投, cleanses all conditons when first used and then leaves health packs in the area.
Specializations
Equipment
Ascended gear is not required, exotic gear with the same stats will work.
Standard Equipment
If you are gearing this character from zero, start with exotic quality gear. Search the trading post for "Nika" armor. Then search for the weapons you want to use: "Exterminator" rifle. Upgrade to ascended gear as you progress. See also: Guide:How to Gear a Character.
- You can use
萨奇洛斯古物 to trade a minor amount of damage for sustain, 
骑兵古物 to start combat with boons, or 
耐久古物 for a little extra defense.
Consumables
Budget consumables are acceptable for use in open world.

Usage
Damage
- Spam 投掷地雷,
霰弹射击, 
跳跃射击, 
手雷弹幕, and 
轨道空袭.
- Inflicting crowd control gives you 急速 and
稳固 thanks to 反作用力. Review your sources of crowd control.
Defense
- Most enemies will just die before they can attack you. They will also struggle to even come close to you thanks to all your crowd control.
- You have access to
潜行 due to the smoke combo field from 
烟雾弹 - 跳跃射击 can be used to get out of trouble.
- Remember to always dodge and sidestep attacks if possible. Don't get hit by anything you can move out of.
逆向转化 converts conditions into boons when using your heal skill.
超然爆发 and 
聚合药剂 provide some healing over time.- 治疗炮台 heals and also cleanses 2 conditions. You can pick the turret up for a cooldown reduction, or detonate it 1 second after deploy to blast the water field for more healing.
- Never leave your Healing Turret out: the healing you get from the passive regeneration is worse than if you detonate it / pick it up and put it down again.
再生喷雾 provides a small amount of healing and creates a water combo field that is automatically blasted for extra healing thanks to 
爆炸区域.
