Deep Rock Galactic's Worst Gunner Build 

you may be glad to know that after fixing my extreme build errors, salvo is now one of my favorite overclocks in the game. thank you that is all. you already know what going on... hop in the discord! - discord.gg/nameistaylor hope you enjoy(ed) the video smiley face

There’s no way that taylor is still running the channel if we just got 3 gunner videos in a row (in regards to DRG related videos. I enjoyed the terraria video)

im sorry to say, but it is not hard coded that the plagueheart is only in the last little meteorite. its just that classic luck you guys have that gives you 4 bulk detonators in one mission

0:38 Both the "Do not let me cook: The kitchen is on fire" and "I don't want to talk about it" are jaw dropping The fact he doesn't even want to mention the headspace he was in when cooking this masterpiece up is something very special

It makes me happier to know I'm not the only one who made an absolutely abhorrent salvo build i nicknamed it "the melee build" and gave myself the dumbest cosmetics possible to match

i think i know why gamma couldnt destroy the turret fast with melee attacks and sliceman doesnt believe its a real thing its because gamma was the one trying to do it

I loved the "We got this" dead sillence hahaha It's like all the times it was said echoing around me

Foreshadowing is a literary device used to hint at the events to come. Exhibit A: 8:36 "We got this" *Pause, silence for a good second or two, unpause.* That pause told me everything I needed to know.

Fun fact. Not only is melee super effective against turrets, you can also destroy them instantly by digging them up. Driller is very effective against them for this very reason

I love how you asked for build recommendations in the previous video and then proceeded to cook... this..

given that repulsion turrets have 600hp and you do 25 hp per pickaxe swing, double that to 50 for the weakness, you get roughly 12 swings to kill a repulsion turret not counting hazard/player multipliers to damage resistance. so 4 players haz 5, yeah anna "abusing it's weakness" for that long IS accurate. but one power attack with the upgrade would do 240, or 480 with weakness. if she just left clicked while right clicking it could've died really easily. lord help me i really tried to explain the events of a DRG video. EDIT: For clarity on how much health that actually is, the normal praetorian has 750hp at base. those repulsion turrets have roughly 4/5th the health of one of those green fatso's.

The wires Colling together is definitely the IT last day on the job

If you guys don't know, dropping a driller's C4 in its head can hit all 4 vents at once and two shot the phase fairly reliably. Great way to massively speed up the fight. Fatboy can do the same thing though it's a bit less easy to do

I both can hold in a sneeze (uncomfortable experience) and crack my back regularly. I have never encountered correlation between the two things. Your group is broadcasting from an asylum. Increasing your fire rate allows salvo mod to rack missiles much faster, which makes it much more versatile and less 'sitting here with a barrage finally ready after my team kills all the enemies' instead. I would advise you to try it. Also try volatile bullets and weakpoint damage on the Bulldog with any incendiary primary build, or with a CRISPR driller, as it does funny things to enemies like detonators and praetorians.

Take 2 of me praising constant subtitles to make sure they stay

I've never had my back Crack over holding in a sneeze.

loving the everpresent confusion and despair 👍

I’m glad you made a real salvo build after this, because, to put it bluntly: what is THAT man

Well, hey, I did recommend you experiment and find out what works for you last video, and you did in fact experiment, and that experimentation taught you a valuable lesson : in this case, that this build doesn't work. Now armed with the embarrassment of what you went through, you ended up making a better build, gained an appreciation for an excellent overclock, obtained knowledge that will help guide your future build choices AND created funny, if slightly painful, content. It's not all bad!

PLEASE take rate of fire on Salvo it racks the missiles faster

The nitroglycerin compound/increased projectile speed synergy is crazy!!!! (On plasma burster missiles LMAO)

Upon seeing this video on my home page, I was greatly concerned that my advice from the last video had steered you down a dark path

i really just be going non-verbal at the function

As always the editing and especially captioning on these videos is crisp and fantastic. The way the thoughts and details of the build was presented was great, and I especially like the bracket clarification at 2:48. Why do I like it so much? I don't know and I wish I could tell you but all I can say is that it feels very professional and the effort really shows. Thank you for making these Taylor.

"or ifs its another vinegar pizza incedent" a WHAT?

2:19 -The turrets are vulnerable to melee, but the basic pickaxe attack only does 27.5 damage per hit. So, in most cases, you can deal similar damage with a firearm from a safer distance. However: The caretaker's robotic tentacles and sniper turrets suffer 6x melee damage. making the basic pickaxe attack deal 165 damage.

You already got answers, but I didn't see anyone mention this. You are GUARANTEED to get at least one plagueheart during the small meteor event. And then an additional 10% per meteor for another plagueheart.

I don't hold in my sneeze to crack my back, I hold in my sneeze when I feel like I absolutely cannot sneeze here.

I love how much this channel has taken off

on the question of lithophage meteors: one of them is set to have a guaranteed core, while others only have 3% chance of having them (so it's theoretically possible to get 4 cores outta this mini-event, but the chance would be 0.0027% for that) it's like egg mission: with 4, 6 and 8 you have 1, 2 and 3 eggs set to trigger a swarm, while others only summon a group which meteor/eggs are "booby-trapped"? i dunno, it's random, so all of this is just a useless data

i remain alive like a rat, scampering through a desolate warzone

Salvo is awesome. It's what I was using until I got my sweet sweet Jetfuel Homebrew. I typically go for explosive damage on it and to make it more adaptable the weakspot damage boost. The rest I flip flop around a wee bit depending on the situation.

Dont hold your sneezes in, that can pop blood vessels

I've gotten a plagueheart out of a meteor, within view of another intact meteor when there was only one meteor shower that mission. That being said, it might be coded to get more likely the more meteors you crack, because I usually only find it after cracking most of the ones from any given asteroid shower.

Are you aware that funner has a bubble shield? It is his most important feature.

still on the wait for a specific promotion

that hurricane OC slaps against dreads

Taylor... your luck has always been abysmal. Idk, maybe it's related to your relationship with gacha games, but it's not just the fragments, my guy. And your (lack of) luck has rubbed off on the rest of the server, too. Or at least on me, 'cuz DRG has gotten a tad bit more spicy ever since I joined.

btw mr Taylor the shield you have as a gunner is very usefull when reviving teammates bcz almost nothing can get through it

I swear with what sliceman does, he either has read about alien culture, or he himself is a part of an alien race

Damn the amount of interactions on your videos is insane, 3/4 of all viewers so far liked this one

0:02 fellow dubstep enjoyer spotted

Scout main here. Not only do you have the worst gunner build in this video, you also have the worst scout build.

no one I know holds a sneeze to crack their back, you can however have a sneeze followed by a burp at the same time

I think with the metorite plaguehearts, that happens when all the others failed to spawn one, so the last one is a guaranteed spawn.

5:14 I might be a tad late but I would like to confirm that any lung movement, if it is strong and sudden enough, has the potential to crack your back, although the phrase “Vinegar Pizza” does have me a tad worried about your other habits…

Video upload speedrun any%

mmmmmmmmmmmm drubnk drg videos may be in love with this channel rn

I'm about the same rank as you and I don't even touch Haz 5, and even with this awful build, I think the difficulty is your biggest enemy. It does make for very entertaining content though, I'm enjoying your channel a lot 😁

truely the setheverman of our dwarf generation

I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems

Enough nitra for three resupplies is not enough on a caretaker mission.

Honestly I suggest "Plasma Burster Missiles", I play haz5 most of the time and god damn can I do a lot of damage with it.

3:00 for me, i got the impression that the 1st landed meteorite had the heart in it

No way Taylor made a D&D reference

This upload schedule is getting crazy

Hope you recover emotionally, financially, physically from the corrupted footage incident

Holy freakin bingle more Taylor content to boof up to

I can confirm its your bad luck i get plague hearts on the first one almost every time

your luck is just abysmal i almost always get the heart in the first spike

7:55 I meaaannn...... I would be to, gets you wondering how good he uses his hands for something else.

Holy shit we gettin spoiled by dad here lately!

Hello. I want to tell my experience with meteors: some time earlier I also have to break every meteor to find a rockpox in the last one. BUT, five last times, when I face the meteor fragments, it was always in THE FIRST one. Sooo, I think, it's just random))

the conversation from 1:07 to 2:15 made half my braincells die

3:00 your luck is just bad, not only can any of the meteor shards randomly contain a plague heart, you have a chance to get more than one from any given meteor shard event. Source: happened to me the other day, 1 is guaranteed and there is a 2% chance for the rest, according to the wiki

i do like how you basically picked the worst option for every mod for salvo

3:00 you can actually get more then 1 of em out of the small ones luck is just not kind to you guys because it is very much random

I made a fuller auto shotgun build for engi. I have the overclock that increase fire rate, then I decided it’s not fast enough, so i modded it for fire rate too. chews through ammo though :/

Said this on discord but I'll say it here as well as a caretaker mission person and a gunner main 1.) Prepare the terrain via engineer, gunner, and driller, make sure the terrain is even and runnable enough so that you can be mobile and you won't get stuck when running from the repulsion blasts, and use ziplines to let your driller or engineer get to the top of the caretaker to 1-3 shot the shield phase 2.) Never underestimate the ziplines on caretaker battles, they allow you to move around the arena via utilizing the 5 degree angle speed boost 3.) Drop 3-4 supply pods at each direction of the caretaker after prepping the arena, this let's each player have their own designated supply pod that they can retreat to 4.) The tentacles get destroyed immediately after one power attack (Or maybe that's because I have the power attack damage mod) 5.) As a gunner, when you're surrounded, you're not trapped with them, they're trapped with you. Drop a shield and start blasting in all directions, they can't get to you and you're free to fire on them liberally or reposition yourself somewhere else. Remember that your shield repels glyphids so you can put it on chokepoints to buy yourself time to move someplace more favorable 6.) You're salvo module build is an abomination but it's fixable with the proper mods 6.) Never neglect your tools, the shield and the zipline are underrated but every gunner main swears by it. The mobility chair might be slow but slow and steady wins the race. 7.) When falling from great distances, hold E. If there's a Zipline, Pipe rail, or a Flying angel, you can save yourself from falling by holding E and landing on those, you don't have to spam the button and just hold it 8.) Gunners are the true support class, we just have big guns But yeah, from the Asian side of DRG we salute you (Also would love to see y'all on community days on your discord)

Can't believe the bot griefed you that bad.

My luck is surprisingly really good in the Gane I've gotten at least 2 lithophage fragments from the meteorites

5:30 Holding your sneeze could cause Middle ear infection Damaged blood vessels Ruptured eardrum Brain aneurysm Diaphragm injury Throat damage or rupture Broken ribs Hearing loss Vertigo Of course these these won’t happen every time you hold one, but I’ve see. It happen once.

Every small meteor has a 2% chance of containing a plagueheart, unless it's the last one and none dropped yet, then it's guaranteed. So yes it is somehow both your bad luck and a mechanic. Of course, then there's also the fact one stops looking after finding what one's looking for so it's always in the last place you look regardless...

the only really questionable thing on that salvo build is the tier 5. apart from that, mostly understandable picks. But the tier 5 is doing pretty much nothing.

2:00 that lootbug did not deserve to eat all of those rockets, was the little guy that hungry??/

2:52 No, it is not coded that way... you are just unlucky... But since we're on the topic of meteor spikes, might as well mention this: There is a 100% chance for one of the several fallen meteor shards to contain a plagueheart. What many people may not know, however, is that there is an ADDITIONAL 2% chance PER fragment to contain an extra plagueheart. Hypothetically, you could get 7 shards that all contain a plagueheart. I've gotten 3 plaguehearts a couple times before, so it is always worth breaking a fragment when you see it-- despite the odds not being in your favor --if you're on the plagueheart grind still or have little else to invest that time into. That being said, not only are you unlucky for getting plaguehearts on the last shards... you're unlucky enough to break every other shard before it and fail the 2% chance on each of those as well.

Fun fact: you can kill the caretaker with only Bosco and a pickaxe. The main issue being that bosco doesn’t attack the caretaker, so you either have to wait for missiles or go melee it. And it’s heavily arena dependent l.

abissmal luck with the plagueharts. ive had it in the very first one multiple times

Meteor? I hardly know her!

Lets be honest- any gunner on a caretaker mission will be something between "useless" and "wdym your shield is on recharge". Any build will do. Even a trash one. You just run around being a medic. Unless your Engy forgot to equip fatboy. And you have sludge/freeze driller on your team with cavedigging C4 Oh boy

dude complete your armor mods you get +5hp for collecting them instead of paintjobs like on weapons

Re spikes, your luck is abysmal.

who tf is out there cracking spines via not-sneezing????

I really enjoy watching y’all, but me and my girlfriend got drunk and she passed out, and now I’m outside letting her sleep and I discovered I REALLY enjoy watching y’all while drunk. You’re hilarious when sober, y’all are debilitatingly funny when drunk

Your luck with meteor plague hearts really is that bad. Sniper turrets always die to one pickaxe power attack. All rival tech (except Nemesis and Caretaker's main body) are weak to melee attacks (I just don't recommend doing so to burst turrets). And yes, that Gunner build is bad (pairing it with Inferno for Coilgun would make it somewhat better on Industrial Sabotage, but it would still be not great).

5:23 a WHAT pizza incident?

You know the one thing wrong with is I see is taking the bigger magazine over the rate of fire and possibly you taking area damage over weak point bonus

Taylor makes worst build ever, asked to leave interplanetary miners union

better than me even trying to be good at the game though

I'm sorry. What's the vinegar pizza incident??!?

You can have good luck of getting the meteors plague heart first, or have awful luck of it being last.

At first I saw the build and thought - a normal build. Then I saw the mission - oooooh. Not the best solution in this situation)))) As usual - thank you for the wonderful video, which I watched with great pleasure before going to bed)

So you can melee the robots, it was just a skill issue with her only

Funnily Enough. All turrets and robotics have 200% melee weakness. Except for sniper turrets who have 500% WEAKNESS. so have fun landing morkite gardens on a roof stuck sniper turret lmao

This is nowhere near the worst

I would love to eat vinegar pizza (only white vinegar tho)

Try overclockless/clean Hurricane. I find it to be the strongest of Gunner's clean/Oc-less weapons. Also definitely take leadbursters to kill bulks, because they resist explosive damage on the hurricane. All the mods are fine except tier 2b armor break being kind of lackluster compared to the increased velocity mod, and tier 5a heat outright nerfing your damage to slowly light enemies on fire (which feels bad in general). I always take stun on tier 5 because I have never noticed the benefit of Nitroglycerin. Additionally, stun helps keep you safe from mactera, praetorians, stingtails & menace. Whilst stopping any bugs creeping up on you, allowing for greater crowd control. The weakpoint buff mod only increases direct damage, so its more like a more moderate 25% damage up rather than an absurd 50%. Still ok, but the area damage mod lets you do 20% more area damage, which is way more powerful than direct damage. So probably take the area damage mod instead. But it may be better on elimination or sabotage to take the weakpoint mod. I don't like any of the Hurricane OCs that don't let you control missile flight. They severely hurt your range/accuracy, which is the main advantage the hurricane has vs the autocannon.

It’s coincidence about the spikes btw.

another banger

I mean that overclock is on the better side of overclocks for the hurricane
