I might start playing Tech more, for a change. Which Primary do you recommend? Thanks.
Best Primary for Technician, and why?

SA-Hawkins and Redox are the only ones worthy any attention. SA-Hawkins is good if you find yourself close to the enemy a lot, the Redox gives a debuff that if managed correctly can be nice if you work well with your team.
CRITICAL ASSIST

The RPR is generally more reliable at a variety of ranges, so it tends to be the most popular.

Re-D0x and PN223 are not as good as the RPR. Because both are harder to use (slow projectile for redox, short range and recoil for PN223).
In addition you get self debuff from Re-D0x AOE which can be really punishing considering the low health pool of the tech.

On a related note, if I have the Secondary in "Vampire Mode" and then use the Special, does the Special deal more damage to the enemy and heal me for more?

YES.
I like going against the best of any game I play. Helps you in the long run n motivates u to do more. Always room for improvement not failure

That being said, best primary? Redox for team stuff, red beam and rpr for DM. Nail gun is weak.

Nail gun is weak.
It certainly wins the coolnessfactor award though.

Rpr is the all around best especially if you get caught alone. The red beam does not increase the sucking amount when you hit the special ability.
Redox multiplier is huge if you can land the 3 shots and stay with some firepower.
That nail gun weapon-233 is just the most annoying sound on the battlefield.

brawler is the best primary for the tech
I thought it was Incinerator. ![]()
To OP: IMO the way to play the Tech that is by far the most useful and effective is to be healing 100% of the time, because if you want to do damage instead of healing, literally any other mech in the game would be a better choice. So, from that perspective, I would say Redox is definitely the best choice for a couple of reasons.
One: while the RPR is more reliable from a damage perspective, it also generates more heat and more heat = less heals.
Two: even if the Redox has less direct killing power, its splash-damage armour debuff means that whatever teammate you're tethered to at the moment will be able to kill the enemy that much faster, easily making up for the damage you're not doing yourself. Plus the fact that it's an AOE splash means that it's possible to debuff multiple enemies at the same time, the risk of course being that you can splash yourself and weaken your own armour, so shoot with care.
My general Tech strategy when I (occasionally) play it: heal the person who needs it most in the immediate area (don't stick exclusively to one player the whole game), and when convenient pop off two or three Redox shots at a target of opportunity while still healing your allies, then stop and focus fully on healing again. Other than that, just focus on staying alive. ![]()

Under-rated advice right here. Seriously play them and see what YOU think

I'd suggest you join UVW for the all-tech aka mosquito mode. As you may have guessed, it's all tech. You'll definitely learn something.

All tech mode feels more like inappropriate touching mode.

Do not listen to these other people in this thread, they hate the tech. They think it ruined hawken. They are wrong, and they are giving you bad information as a joke because they hate the tech, and they hate you for asking about the tech.
Listen to me my friend.
I have over 30 technicians in my garage(s), and the best, coolest weapon of any mech in this game is the PN223.

IMHO breacher tech is better, Seeker tech is damn fun (call it 1337).
