Flamethrower Engineer is an incredible simple, reliable, farming build that can be played in a myriad of different ways and includes variants for every possible Engineer specialization. Scrapper is the default recommendation due to its very high uptime on {{Tooltip|Superspeed}}, however core engineer, mechanist, and holosmith can all be viable options for this build.

A simple {{Tooltip|Scrapper}} farm build that is very comfortable to use for tagging events in open world.

−
This is a farm build and does not feature high DPS. Instead it focuses on smooth, comfortable gameplay. If you are looking for a Scrapper build with high DPS, instead try [[Build:Scrapper_-_Power_Scrapper]] or [[Build:Holosmith_-_Sword_Holo]]

−
===Scrapper===
 
−
Scrapper is the best default spec here as it provides us with significant superspeed uptime, which can be fantastic in a zerg farm. It's also got good passive defense through its barrier generation and is easy to play.
 
−
 
 
−
===Mechanist===
 
−
Mechanist is another very strong choice, as the Jade Mech can be a powerful ally in open world.

Starlitjupiter gave this build 5 stars • July 2023
A classic farm build that the community absolutely adores, this build is very gear-agnostic and works with just about anything you decide to use. It's great for tagging, works with every engineer spec, and the scrapper option has permanent superspeed for yourself and some allies, making it extremely comfortable for open world.
