Satisfying moment at 6:28 if that's all you're here for. I'm going to upload a second video today since this one doesn't quite meet certain standards. Check out my pinned comment below for more details.
Vermintide 2 on Cataclysm Difficulty with commentary. Festering Ground as Engineer with Axe and Shield and Trollhammer Torpedo but primarily using the Crank Gun.
This Engineer build is:

Builds I typically use for my AI Bots:

Ranger Veteran Ale and Vapors Support:

Unchained Bomb Balm Support:

Warrior Priest Double Bubble:

Sister of the Thorn Damage/Support:

I also use 4 mods, mostly Quality of Life improvements, all of which can be found on the first page in Steam Workshop in Top Rated All Time and can be used in the Official Realm. I use the Bot Improvements - Combat, Numeric UI, Crosshair Kill Confirmation, and Notice Key Pickup mods. The Bot Improvement mod used to be Sanctioned but currently isn't for whatever reason. You can bypass this by checking the "Auto-Disable Unsanctioned Mods in Official Realm" checkbox in the mod menu and it should still load the mod up in Official Realm for you to play with.
**Please note that I mainly use the Bot Improvement mod to control the healing on the bots. If you find the bots more useful in combat without the mod than you should play without it.

Geez Quix, I know you said you were tired when you recorded this but maybe try to speak a little better if you're gonna do commentary buddy. Here are some stats that I counted:
"Ya'know"- 47
"So"- 26
"And"- 36
"Like"- 85
"But"- 27
"Um"- 77
"Uh"- 52
"Buboes"- 6
"Dilly-dallying"- 1
"Pain in the buboe"- 1
I'm obviously poking fun at myself here in a playful and not serious way. Was kinda laughing my buboe off at how discombobulated my speech was throughout the video and I just had to tally a count for certain words. I hope everyone still enjoys the video despite my incoherence. I'll be uploading another video today since this one doesn't quite meet certain standards. Thanks for watching!

i do my best to avoid friendly fire, but sometimes teammates absolutely dont respect what you are doing at all and clearly have a "it's on the ranged to stop what they are doing to avoid FF at all times" mentality. for example, the amount of times ive moved ahead to meet a horde with my crank gun or flamestorm staff because my team is engaging elites or a separate horde only for someone to walk through me from behind and into my firing zone while im clearly firing, forcing me to stop what im doing to avoid hitting them is extremely frustrating when they do it repeatedly.
When that happens, i stop caring about FF and keep ripping at the horde. because they are consciously impeding me at that point and often times outright preventing me from playing my career/build. its on them if they take damage from it from that point.
but like i said, i try my best to avoid it in most other cases, and if i am a melee career and see a player engaging a horde with range, i usually respect it by either staying to the side or behind them and protecting them from elites or those pesky skaven-slave backstabbers. because if they are engaging a horde with range, 9/10 that horde is gonna be shredded and id be wasting time trying to engage it.

Had an engineer that was trollhammering every pair of SV ambients even if I was fighting them. I think you're spot on about what to target, engi can easily thin the back of the horde or the edges or even hold down a totally different direction. Just let your team play the game too.
