6/1/23 DRG Dev Build - Subata Buff Neuro-Corrosive Toxic Catalyst Demonstration 

For sure! I would've loved for TCF's supremacy to be challenged, but this is nice too.

I feel like the only way for anything to challenge tcf ultimately is to nerf it. It’s kind of the ultimate weapon, it can mine, it can aoe, and the base shot is still decent for single target killing of web or acid spitters if you need to. It could be a primary and I’d probably take it. It is very high skill, especially to actually use the aoe in combat, and the inherit jankyness of it makes it really hard to use in very thick swarms when it is most valuable, so I don’t really think it’s a huge issue as long as other choices are useable in haz 5, which they completely are, especially with the subata changes. If they wanted to they could seperate out the mining aspect and high aoe damage aspect into two seperate mods in t5 and make either flying nightmare or heat shot an overclock instead or a mod in a different tier and that could nerf it, but they’d probably also need to make it easier to use because at that point the difficulty curve wouldn’t be worth it for most people. (Maybe make the explosion trigger like the reverse breach cutter oc instead of when it’s shot?) I think it is fine where it is now though since subata is getting buffed.

Is subata better than TCF ,if you use it with a sludge pump now?

@@AppleWithABow IMO no. The TCF is still just too darned good. But, it's considerably harder to use, so newer players (or players who just don't want to try hard) might enjoy it more

If it was only 50%, I feel like it'd be basically a copy of Wave Cooker's T5B boiler ray, but worse since it's on Sludge only.

So the 2-round burst and the automatic fire OC combined with this is probably the best way to build around this mod, huh

​@@Rosa_0000nice idea, will try that out

@@Ninjaguiden89 I tried it out and it's kinda dissapointing, the 2-round burst mod gives a -4 fire rate penalty and seems to not work with automatic fire. Only one bullet is fired and one one is consumed, even though it sounds like two bullets are being fired. Idk if it's bugged, but it felt terrible when I used it

A new mod in the experimental build!

It's a skill thing. I never use epc because I cant land tcf.

That's why the best solution is to nerf tcf. Way too much damage for very little effort.

@@darkweeman133 thats right, every driller secondary including other epc builds are just trash compared to it

You do realize it’s dealing more damage than TCF?

There are a couple more - its mods were shifted around a bit, it got a tad more weakpoint damage, it has T5 blowthrough now, a double burst mod, and the damage mods have been consolidated and are a bit easier to pick.

@@pvewaste did they allow it to be fired full auto by holding the trigger? prob #1 most requested change, my poor poor trigger finger... ;-;

No, unfortunately

@@Adazahi apparently they did change the way semi auto weapons buffer inputs or something so at least it should feel more responsive?

That's a pretty cool demonstration of the new mod! I'll have to give it a try sometime.
