Yes, it was, at least imo. Many people on youtube said they were useless, but I found DMRs really practical. They allow me to operate like a more robust mid-range sniper, especially useful when you try to flank an enemy engage. Not only can you kill people with two shots over a relatively long distance without wasting ammo, you also have the added benefit of having the RPG as backup. Now that the Assault has access to them too, the use of DMRs with the engineer has dwindled down a bit. When playing assault, I mainly use DMRs for counter sniping or when it comes to defend on larger maps tho. The faster reload and scope time is nice, but honestly, it kinda contradicts the role of the assault as a frontline-class, which the engineer wasn’t per se.
Sorry for the late reply!
