Absolutely Ludicrous Incendiary Driller Build! - Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor! 

some people complain about it a little bit. But the meta progression does something nice in this game. it makes higher hazard levels more viable. if you are really good or really lucky you can push higher hazards earlier. but they aren't locked off if you don't have those things. And as your meta progression improves the builds open up a lot for viability. You don't have to rely on the meme or the perfect build to get there.

that's why I don't go after it all that much. Because just flat boosting damage does that stuff too, and boosts cold.

his bomerang explosions were doing 1500-1600 damage while his pass through was doing 700-800 damage. the explosion is definitely way to go but range is bad upgrade.

If he didn't take both range upgrades I would have agreed but because he did the explosions were either missing or just hitting the normal enemies instead of elites. With range and XP grabbing the second boomerang is a much better choice because it can hit a lot more enemies on the return, picks up XP that might have been missed, and is more consistent in damage. It's not a bad overclock, just not very useful with the other overclocks wander picked.

well, he got some in the first run and didn't die, so there's that

Exploding Boomers are also bad because it cuts the damage by 50% by missing the return trip.

I think exploding boomerang can be good, but you'd have to get it early enough to build specifically for it. For most builds, I don't think it's the right choice.

From what I observed in the video, the explosion damage is only twice the base of the weapon (google translate).

Yeah, the explosion _is_ higher damage than the throw, but it wouldn't be worth it even if it did a few dozen times as much damage because of the other upgrades he took. The magnet effect only applies to the boomerang itself, any experience dropped due to the explosion does not get collected and you lose the collection from the return trip, and even worse is he took range upgrades which ended up pushing the explosion so far back it wasn't hitting much of anything most of the time.

I kind of doubt it but you could check the games install location to see if there's a setting or config file as there's sometimes extra settings that aren't available in game.

He has in a previous video

very, very carefully

Turret build also benefits from reload speed nicely

In Wander's last video on this game he got it on accident while doing his Engineer throwable build, so yeah that might be the way to go. He also got the artifact that increases fire rate and reload speed by 2% for a short amount of time when standing still, and it stacks I think it was 10 times? So if you start and stop moving a bunch repeatedly that's like a 20% boost, so you only need to get your base reload to at minimum 55% instead of 75%

The supply pod item that gives you a bonus for standing still helps a lot. If you get two of them, the achievement is practically guaranteed.

Recon has ability where you gain 25% reload for dodging. max your meta reload progression and rush into hordes on hazard 1. I don't recommend doing this until you finish the game because most of artifact in this game are very bad. Ammo reg is no exception. you want as few artifact as possible in pool because best artifacts are gold scanner, nitro scanner, nitro powder, Gold tripped bullets, pickle nitra and EE5 goggles. I suggest finishing all the hazard 3, hazard 4 and hazard 5 challenges before unlocking this artifact as 50% fire-rate for -15% m/s is complete garbage.

@@dodang_9147 it's not necessarily that those are the best. It's just those are the most generic and thus some of the most easily usable artifacts. There are definitely builds that benefits from other things and there are hidden benefits to some things like fire rate that many don't understand and aren't well documented yet. Partly because we don't automatically see everythign affected by every choice.
