Engineering is a Crafting Trade Skill in New World. Engineering allows for the crafting of Ranged Weapons used in ranged combat such as Bows and Muskets. Engineering also allows for the crafting of Ammunition for these ranged weapons. Trade Skills are a variety of non-combat skills that the player can invest in and master. For anyone wanting to play the ranged shooter then level up your engineering and get shooting your muskets!  Engineering also creates certain Melee Weapons such as the Hatchet and Spear. A higher level in Engineering will allow players to create better, more powerful weapons, as well as improving the Gear Score range of craftable weapons. The Hatchet and Spear can be a huge PvP weapon that can become meta and we’ll see what happens on the launch! You will need to use a lot of resources in engineering and most of these you’ll pick up but some you may need to level your gathering skills in order to better your engineering.
