Engineer loadouts: why can't I hold all these points edition

[Tetrino]

With the not-so-new-anymore changes to prep vendors, Squad Engineers can really tailor what they want to carry into the field. Gone are the days of a common pool of supplies that get monopolized by the first asshole to weld the door shut, leaving latecomers high and dry. While a lone squad engineer might feel a bit of a pinch compared to before, two or more engies can definitely bring more to the table together, and latejoining engies actually get to feel like equipped engineers rather than glorified PFCs.

Here's some examples of the sort of loadouts you can take. Feel free to share your own!

The all-rounder aka "I liked hogging all the stuff, damnit" loadout

► Show Spoiler

1 mine box (18)
2 C4s (10) + 1 C4 from essentials
10 plasteel (7) + 10 plasteel from shared prep
Rangefinder (10)
Supercapacity power cell (hack the vendor)
PCM (get from a generous MT or dismantle a maintenance closet APC)
50 metal (req)
1 incendiary grenade (req)

The Maximum Unga aka "Really a PFC in disguise" loadout

Even more AP mags (req, don't tell them about the AP mags you already have)

I usually spend my points either on
- 10 plasteel x 5 (35 points)
- 25 sandbags x 1 (10 points)

or, if its prison

- 10 plasteel x 3 (21 point)
- C-4 x 1 (5 points)
- Box of claymores (18 points)

Both of these are pretty good if you like pushing, you just gotta scrap sum metal for barbwire if you didn't manage to get those 25 sheets at the start.

The only correct thing to buy is 9x C4 for 45 points and blow EVERYTHING up.
please help me

Alright Ill give you guys the BICEPS SPECIAL:

Spend all your points on AP, C4 and Claymores. More C4 if its prison or more claymores if its LV.

Break into engineering, get all the PCs, PCMs and metal/plasteel you need. (Also Tac-Shotguns if you dont already have a note for powergaming).

If it's Ice Colony, Spend all your points on plasteel, break into engineering, steal other squads M56Ds and go hide in Telecomms the whole round.

This is actually a legit strat...
And I'm just an autimfort engie. FOB duty ain't so bad.

Virgin loadouts.

Where are the medikit pouches you nicked from Medbay?

Also max plasteel is definitely the best choice for Buildbots since sandbags got trashed when they took our rollerbed mario carts away.
