I Play Engineer, Too (Plus Flare Giveaway!) | Deep Rock Galactic 

the most underrated overclock is the RJ250 compound for engineer’s grenade launcher. The gl can still be used to kill large swarms of weak enemies, but it adds the utility of launching yourself around the cave while also increasing reserve ammo. A straight upgrade from stock imo

I feel like Burning Hell's aoe capability is heavily underrated. many bugs will simply turn and run when you light them on fire with it, and those that don't put themselves right in front of your barrel.

Stunner on the warthog is the most underrated overclock in my eyes, it stops praetorians in their TRACKS as long as you're shootin em, alongside anything smaller than a prae. I feel it's very overlooked in favor of it's other more unstable and complex brother overclocks, but i couldn't imagine my engi loadout without it.

in my eyes is the drillers subata. i always hear that subata just a pistol. i uses the pistol with the explosive reload and the sludgpump. if you take the 3 upgrate of tier 5. it does amazing much damage when it in the sludge of the sludgepump and it stacks damage. well its hard to explain so if you use it in action and have the build out. it will make sense.

after watching this awesome video of yours, you convinced me. Personally i think for my own rating the most underrated Overclock is the Spinning death overclock for the Breach Cutter after seeing you use it. I'm an Engi Main and i wrote it of a long time ago after experimenting with it and failing in multiple attempts. it just didn't pack enough control and versatility for me, but i feel like now i need to give it another try

In my late and 100% correct opinion the Goo Bomber OC for the sludge pump is the most underrated overclock. Nothing like giving the bugs a taste of their own medicine while chewing through pratoreans and oppressors with DoT. (btw just found you through the steam community forums! Great vid and R&S!!)

I don't see anyone talking about the Electric Arc overclock on the Stubby, but it was my first overclock ever, and it has a special place in my arsenal because of that. So i made a build to make it work along side the rest of my stuff. I never forget my first overclock on each class

I think ice storm for the cryocannon is really underrated, especially once you realise how impactful cold radience is to your total freeze power so the loss of 3 freeze power doesn't actually feel that bad, especially when it lowers it to 5 since as far as im aware all creatures have freeze points which are multiples of 5 or 10. The damage bonus it gives, especially with the bonus kinetic damage to frozen targets, makes it much easier to be reliant on purely your primary to kill enemies like grunts and slashers, so you don't have to be switching between primary and secondary nearly as often. It can be really nice if you're a fan of either solo or being more independant in missions. If anything I wish the mod fragile worked somewhat akin to it rather than it's current abysmal state.

Underrated from what i've seen would be Diffusion Ray for the wave cooker. running it 21112 it sweeps grunt swarms before overheating and slows big threats well when tap fired. great for backing up ice storm or sludge pump and still kills webbers and spitters reliably

Has to be the gunner’s Bulldog w/ six shooter. The only problems are the need to equip a cowboy hat for +100% accuracy and mic spamming Marty Robins’ Big Iron for -3 friendship.

Ty for this. I have been using this exact build since season 1 and it has done me well. The only major difference is that I take magnetic aligned pellets for the warthog. The spinning death was OP before they buffed the ammo, now I feel unstoppable with it.

I feel that the turret arc mod for engi is rather underused and underappreciated simply for the fact that for it to be used at it's most effective you really need at least two engineers to really keep up a wall of electricity, plus not every mission is a "defend this area" type of mission where this OC can really shine.

One overclock I’ve almost never seen used by others is the hurricane minelayer system. While the need to plan where your shots land may be off putting, the increase in damage and blast radius is well worth it. You can usually spray a few meters in front of a horde or at your feet while being chased. It usually only takes 1-2 explosions to kill grunts, and you can still deal a fair amount of direct hit damage when needed

I love using the spinning death with the executioner. Excellent crowd clear and a perfect 'oh shit' button if anything gets too close, while the executioner covers range and high priority enemies quite well. And SSGs are just crazy good.

You completely convinced me to start running spinning death. I've been using the one that makes the beam come back to you but this looks so much more versatile

The most underrated weapon is the plasma carbine for the scout, Its also great for Halo cosplay

most underrated overclock in my eyes would probably be pack rat for pgl, it doesn't do anything flashy unlike the other more popular ocs and that's what i like about it. fat boy is fun but impractical, hyper prop is amazing but unreliable if you're not the host, plus personally i prefer engie's secondary to focus more on crowd control, and rj250's damage nerf is far too great a downside when engie's ammo pool is already quite low to begin with.

0:58 - "WARTHOG" AUTO 210 4:27 - BREACH CUTTER 1:47 - LMG GUN PLATFORM 3:57 - PLATFORM GUN

In over 500 missions I hosted, I've never seen any gunner use Combat Mobility for the Thunderhead and it's genuinely such a fun OC. You can get to 9.5 fire rate almost instantly and it feels great to use. You're a gunner after all, the 9.5 ROF on Thunderhead feels like the true gunner experience, plus the overuse of NTP is just boring

Always loved sticky additive on the flamethrower as I can use it as more of an all rounder build with the added bonuses from the overclock as a neat little bonus, I usually pair it with slow so I can run around and ignore bugs while bosco finishes them : )

MINI SHELLS for Warthog is my favorite, and I never see anyone talking about it.

I'm not really sure what's underrated - I don't keep up with the "meta" or what's popular. I will however note that I am incapable of swapping off of special powder for the boomstick.

L.U.R.E is such a reliable throwable but unfortunately gets outshined by fiendish enemy tech (shredder swarm)

Im gonna be honest I think Return to sender is better than spinning death. Being able to shred a pretorians armor from close range just to see him disintegrate once I let go off my trigger just as he starts his attack is not only the definition of fun but also underrated.

Scout mini-mines are my favorite

I dont see people use zhukovs with explosive bullets overclock at all, even though they are insanely strong to viping out hordes and stronger enemies like oppressors. Full mag into opressors butt and it lost like 3/4th of its HP. My favorite overclock to zhukovs by far.

Okay, but in the end - why shotgun tho? if we have spining aoe as main point of the build we are looking for single target dmg, then it feels more logical to take smart gun - bassically the same dps when we factor in reload time, and better range. Maybe I've missed explained reason for why we want to shoot our gun at previously deployed turret, instead of enemies, if we have a lot of aoe and cc already, so please enlighten me somebody~

I think that magic bullet are underestimate my second pick would be elephant round

Wow. This is quite useful. However, I'm still gonna use RJ250 instead.

Hmmmmm... I'm a driller at heart (yeah!) and one overclock that's constantly underated is AG mixture. It gives the sludge cannon much needed range and velocity. Nothing is worse than sending a charged blob of goo into a crowd and comically watching it miss its mark!

Wow, the few Spinning Death fans are gonna love this. Very informative and great breakdown of each weapon's purpose. For underrated weapons, I'm a big fan of Subata's Homebrew Powder. The tasty weakpoint damage being further increased with flame bonus damage shreds through enemy health, especially bulks.

When Ghostship eventually/finally reworks the perk system I REALLY hope they just make dash a permanent ability (maybe a mod on our suit?) and not an active perk. It's too good to ever give up a slot for, and should be a standard ability like the power attack on our pickaxes.

I personally think that Aggressive Venting on the DRAK gets slept on a lot. With no heat-reducing mods and manual heat dump, you can fire out near-constant AOE bursts, giving Scout an AOE option he so desperately needs. You can then run this with any of his fantastic single-target secondary options, though I generally prefer Trifork for the added utility of the special bolts, either pheremones to keep bugs busy or tazer bolts to power up trifork even more with magnetic shafts.

congratulations on coming out king 👑

Shaped shells for the boomstick seems really underrated. After its buff it feels like a slug shotgun, on sabotage haz 5 you can ignite sniper turrets from quite far away and its great for mactera too

Thanks for doing this giveaway, as well as for regularly putting out such unique content :) Always look forward to the new vids! I think that the Mole Overclock for the Coil gun is definitely one of the more niche/"under-rated" overclocks for Gunner (at least post-nerf), as the potency of his other single-target damaging options feel too hard to pass up most of the time. But you can't deny that it's satisfying as hell to shoot through a big slab of rock into the behind of Dreadnought and watch that health bar plummet :)

I think Volatile Impact Reactor is underrated but not entirely unknown. The biggest boon for me is to draw a quick circle around some bugs or over a chokepoint and everything that passes it gets set on fire and slowed on a direct hit. I pair it with electric shock stubby and shredders to max dot and slows. It is a highly efficient build and lets me resup at every other resup so other dwarves can get their strong utility items like shields, flares or C4 and fuel. It isn't the flashiest or strongest by numbers but with high enough DPI you can stop half a swarm in 5 seconds lol

Cool to see this vid. Engineer was the first class I played after the tutorial with a driller friend and he became my favorite very quickly. Ironically, the sentryguns were actually my least favorite part of the class by far because I tend to prefer wielding all of my firepower directly when I'm new to the game, but I've adjusted to them and I've come to appreciate them over time. Rather, my favorite part about Engineer was being able to build platforms. There's just something about taking a nightmare of a cave layout and building a robust bridge, staircase, and platform array all over it to the point that it becomes downright reasonable for any dwarf on my team to navigate that really appealed to me. I really like the feeling of building infrastructure to make a cave safer or to make the objectives way more convenient and accessible. In addition to all of this, I found his handheld weapons were no joke either, not even the pump action shotgun, which was very satisfying to use as I blew the faces off of bugs one blast at a time. My driller friend kept insisting that Engineer's weapons are weak and that I would have to "Get used to it", but I find they aren't really if you know how to use them for their most optimal purposes and combine them together to complement each others weaknesses. Even if they are, you should be backed up by two automatic machine guns that fire no matter what you're doing and never miss their targets.

Before this video, I would have said Spinning death for the Breach Cutter, but now imma have to go with cryo minelets for the Zukovs. They are insane and even with Musnothus' video, I don't see them in the caves with randoms, haz 5, 4 who cares, never there. You and Musnothus have made that case better than I ever could so Rock and Stone miners and keep drilling.

I think the Spinning Death might as well be the most underrated OC out there, I never see anyone use it. The area denial is incredible, but I think its harder to use than the base gun.

Man i like this guy i subbed to him a while back and i came to have another look at his channel and this is some well edited great content.Rock and stone miner!

I have to agree, I put spinning death on my engy the second I got it and upping the damage on the BC makes it super fun on slow enemies. Throw some armour break on that bad boy at it rips through praetorians in no time! I have to say RJ250 compound for Engy (it's just a BLAST to use hehe (I'll find the door)) or Gunners "Volatile Bullets" oc for the Bulldog. Pairing VB on the Bulldog with my Fire build on the Lead Storm (Burning Hell) is just so much fun! I'm a walking beer drinking BBQ in those caves!

Burning hell and volatile bullets, there is no better combo in the game. I love gunner so much it is unreal

This build is one of my favorite builds on engineer. The new Pump Action is awesome, I used to use Stunner, but Pump Action is AMAZING!

I like the versatility of the crossbow on the scout. It might not be the most deadly but I love stacking effects or having a handy arrow for a sticky situation. Goodluck to everyone on the giveaway

I love Engi. i just main engi in TF2 and now here :D On the question about weapon and overclock. Weapon: Corrosive Sludge Pump. I personaly dont see many people with this. Ye understant that fire or ice are more... kill feel... hm... I personaly found it fun to. and it can be combinate with cooker, heavy grenade and make powerfull comb. Overclock: Plastcrete Catalyst. I think if you have good team you dont need really that much platform so why do blow them up.

I started using this build today, super fun. The alterations that I made were using The Stunning Overclock instead of Cycle Overcharge for the warthog, and two turrets instead of one.

9:18 Your Sentry has Hawkeye equipped, not Defender System, because it fully turns around to fire 180 degrees. 1:54

Underrated overclock: Bullet Hell for the Minigun (with stun). I never hear it mentioned, but it almost feels like cheating. You can spray a huge swarm without really aiming and stop them dead in their tracks while you melt their health. It's really good against some of the most annoying mobs in the game including mactera, swarmers, and shredders. Single target damage isn't its strong suit, so I recommend taking a secondary with that in mind, but it's still okay against the big bugs in a pinch, especially if they're surrounded by a lot of grunts (you don't have to hit their weak points to bounce your bullets).

Okay this is probably a hot take but bullets of mercy for the gk2 is so underrated the extra damage to bugs with status effects like cryo fire and electricity and all the elemental damages but also it plays perfectly with all the classes for example it goes with I’m pretty sure every driller primary weapon and gunner with the incendiary grenade and some of his other over clocks and it works with engineer with some of his overclocks so just in general it syncs well with all the classes and plus scout have 3 grenades that do elemental effects so like I said its probably gonna one of the most underrated overclocks

You said you take defender system, but your turret was hitting behind where defender system would’ve been able to reach from where you placed it. What gives?

I think Plastcrete Catalyst gets overshadowed by a lot of the other overclocks for the Shard Diffractor. I spec for AoE damage and range since the overclock multiplies those by 1.5 when shooting platforms (something like 1-2-2-2-3). You can end up killing a lot of bugs without even needing to trigger the explosion. I tried for the longest time to run the platform gun without bug repellent, going for more ammo so that I had more platforms to shoot, but often times it ended up with glyphids walking over the platforms and getting in the way of having a clean shot, but that could also be a skill issue on my part when it comes to platform placement. It really changes how you think about it, similar to how you think differently about turret placement if you're using EM Discharge on the stubby.

Turret EM Discharge for the Stubby is actually hella good, idk if thats an underrated oc or not tho

Hhehehehehe I've definitely used the breach cutter to shoot through walls in the DRG board game.

I believe the most underrated overclock is definately neuro-lasso fot the LOK-1. It works best in dreadnought missions as support bc it slows down them a lot. Even in swarms on normal mission are easier when you lock onto the front bugs to get a horde more concentrated for a teammate or plasma burster. It still works on pretorians as it slows them down to prevent turning around and spitting acid at you. It still works as a gun with decent damage and support for any engi secondary.

I love micro flechettes on the Brt. The damage isn’t great but I can stun plenty of enemies while my auto cannon is getting reloaded with born ready for continuous fire which is exactly what I want when I play gunner

As an engi main I'm in pain that I don't have spinning death. At lease I have fat boy

The SSGs are my favorite thing when it's time to book it to the pod, It minimizes the amount of slowing down and thinning the horde out on the way out.

im a fan of cryo bolts i think it’s underutilized compared to cryo minelets

Honestly, I think its the Voltaic Stun Sweeper, like it only does shock a few glyphids, but I mean come on man, it can deal with the MOST annoying glyphid and the most effective-against-scout glyphids, thats right im talking about the swarmers. For just the low price of 1 usage of the grenade you can kill about half of a swarmer tunnels attack (types may vary on hazard level), if its not enough then guess what... I WILL DOUBLE THE OFFER, just throw it again and BAM those pesky little pests are dead. BUT IM STILL NOT DONE!! Did you know that if you throw it on accident it wont count as using it as long as it doesnt hit any monster in its path. Thats right if you accidentally misclick or just throw it too late, fear not it will simply go back into your inventory. BUT IM STILL NOT DONE! CALL NOW AND I WILL DOUBLE THE OFFER!! You heard me right isntead of the usual 4 or 6 grenades you get 8, isnt that just handy dandy. Call today and get your very own stun sweeper. I would like to thank my brain for helping me make this and thank YOU for reading this kinda dumb, but funny infomercial inspired by the one and only Billy Mays. :)

I bought this game fully expecting myself to play Gunner. After all, he has a minigun, why wouldn't I play a character with a minigun? But then I ended up trying Engineer and completely falling in love.

personally i think its probably gotta be the sludge pump because boy that thing can shred swarms if you place your puddles properly (also its a great slow tool)

Really liked your Blackreach Blonde video! Breach cutter is my favorite secondary, so I'm definitely going to keep farming Engi overclocks in the hopes of getting Spinning Death! I think one of the most underrated weapon/overclocks is the Colette Wave Cooker + Liquid Cooling System, particularly paired with the Flamer. Most of the time you want to lean into your strengths rather than compensate for weaknesses, but this weapon does both and then some. Colette gives the Driller the ability to efficiently melt masses of Swarmers, Naedocytes, and Shredders with a beam AoE that has basically infinite range. It is also one of the best weapons for quickly saving teammates from Leeches/Grabbers, and gives you the option to prevent Exploders from exploding. On top of all this, its primary use enables you to burst down enemies you've caught on fire while still being ammo efficient. Sure, it's not very damaging, but that's why people run throwing Axes, right? Flamer Drillers are generally built to clear swarms, so why not clear all types of swarms? I almost never see people run the weapon for some reason, primarily in favor of the Experimental Charger's ability to manipulate terrain and mine from afar.

RJ250 for the PGL is great for when you have no/a bad scout, and its just fun to spam fire nades into those medium grunt swarms

RnS brother, good vid (p.s. imo the most underrated OC is Active Stability System. It's not flashy but it makes using the M1k on the move feel very fluid :3)

Not a huge DRG community follower but I always watch DITNO! Not sure if it's underrated but the shotgun mod for the goo blaster is my jam. More like shot-fun! lmao

RJ250 Compound is my personal fav compared to the other overclocks engi has, i often run it for the extra ammo and for a bit of trolling by launching me or my teammates away. Love ur content keep it up!🐐

I only really use spinning death as a dreadnought killer niche weapon. Never thought of trying it as a general use Stun build. I'll try this out, but i'm not a fan of cycle overload. i'll probably pair it with Stunner warthog and the choke mod for a bit more range and safety.

Great video. 👍 My fave (maybe) underrated overclock is Hoverclock. Being able to take shots and be impervious to melee enemies is such a great feeling.

I definitely gotta try out spinning death now! Im unsure how others rate it, but one of my favorite overclocks is Overdrive booster on the shard diffractor. Its advertised as an unstable overclock, but it doesnt effect the gun unless you use the ability. But when you do use it, It'll shred through any swarms or single targets in seconds! I love that feeling of the power of the sun, in my hands.

An underrated weapon in my opinion would be the driller's wave cooker. It's really fun to use in my opinion and I like when bugs just explode in front of your eyes.

i think the sludge blast oc (the one that makes the pump into a shotgun) is pretty underrated like you can get so much damage out of a charge shot with it getting up close to a big enemy like a preditorian. and then normal shots can still be used to take out problem enemies and then wave cooker with endothermic explosion can boost your swarm clear. by far my favourite driller build and works in any mission except for maybe industrial sabo works really well on elim, i have solo’d many a dreadnought with it

Imo, Electrifying Reload for the GK2 is easily one of the most underrated OCs in the game. I mean, 1 bullet = 1 grunt killed. If a target requires more than that, a Conductive Bullets Zhukovs with the Gas Recycling OC (another arguably underrated OC) absolutely shreds an electrified enemy. One of my personal fav combo builds on Scout.

A super underrated overclock imo is AI Stability Engine for Scout's Deepcore. Having an assault rifle that has ZERO RECOIL is just such an incredible feeling imo. Plus it absolutely shreds annoying enemies in the game like spitters and Mactera. I don't see many people talking about how nice it is to make a gun shoot where you want it to shoot without moving for recoil.

Keep wanting to get back into this game but it's looking a bit dated. I hope they make a sequel in UE5 with ray tracing and all that jazz.

Amazing video I will be sure to try this build out. I think an underrated overclock is stunner on the warthog, as it increases damage to stunned enemies, it works great with the stun mods on the breach cutter and the ssg.

I can feel the frustration of what was likely many dozens of failed takes due to tongue twisting on the Spinning Death numbers segment.

no way a driller main playing a big brain class? insanee

IMO the most underrated OC is RJ250, I rarely see people run it in lobbies. It has great ammo economy, can kill swarmers and groups of grunts easily, and of course, the mobility it provides to the engineer is absolutely insane when you combine it with platforms.

Most underrated OC: Minelayer System on the Hurricane. The damage, stun, crowd control, and ammo efficiency is insane. The Single target damage isn't so great so you want to build your secondary for that, but it's also not too bad in a pinch. I feel like I never see people playing with it but I'm constantly using it on my gunner in haz 5. it's especially good on escort and salvage where you can easily tell where bugs are going to be coming from.

I think the Brt is quite mid. Nice to see you branching out! :)

I love the crossbow, even if I feel people hate on it due to not having a ton of damage output

Hahaha. That thumbnail is awesome

Brt7 burst fire gun , it can stunlock menaces any type of mactera enemies ,again stonluck pretorians. Probably not as good as the coil gun but its still amazing

Love this vid. I can't really think of what is underrated "as of now now" as I'm still messing around with different builds... but BEFORE the Hurricane's Plasma Burster missiles recent tweak/buff (that now makes it quite powerful) I would have said that "was" underrated; situational and annoying because of the missiles popping when they hit the ground, sure. But if you knew how to steer and aim them, they "could" really shred. Even after PBM got the recent buff (which now I would argue that it is borderline OP), I don't often see many other Gunners using it... in addition, I am yet to have another player join me and use the new Rocket Barrage OC. I *LOVE* using it; sure maybe its more of a rapid-fire gimmick, as it doesn't have as much damage output as other weapon/OC choices... but just being able to rain missiles down and either cause stun / fire / concentrated fire / coat an area in a few seconds, can be really useful!

A note about Gemini: you can choose to put down only 1 turret. It exchanges 2 (~18%) damage per shot, 15 (16.7%) ammo capacity, and +5m (25%) more range, for 90 (~21%) more reserve ammo, which is a slightly uneven tradeoff when discounting the second turret, bit there are other advantages to consider besides just total ammo efficiency. Less experienced Engineers will oftentimes find themselves having to wait around for their turret to recall because they forget about it, but with Gemini you could be putting down your second turret that you still have on you while waiting for your first turret to recall, which reduces downtime. Once you become more accustomed to placing down turrets, you can start putting down 2 of them at the same time to really reap the benefits of Gemini, that being it's massively increased DPS (180 rounds * 11 damage * 2 turrets > 105 rounds * 13 damage * 1 turret) and increased efficiency against specifically Naedocytes (and I guess Glyphid Spawn), as 11 damage is enough to kill them in a single shot, the extra total ammo makes killing them more efficient in relation to how much ammo you have, on top of the doubled rate of fire from having two turrets allowing you to kill them twice as quickly. You also double the amount of Turret Whips you can perform in quick succession, as each turret has it's own cooldown so you can alternate between the two for increased uptime, and you also increase the amount of Turret Whips you can perform before needing to Resupply because you have more Ammo to spend on performing them.

IMO fatboy is very underrated when you are trying to kill the 3 enemy players you spawn with.

I find "Electrifying Reload" on the scout's deepcore GK2 to be underrated. Just 1 bullet + a reload is enough to kill a basic grunt, and you can easily spray a horde with the weapon to get electric procs on everything. It pairs very well with the NUK17's bonus damage to electrified targets, and can even slow dreadnoughts now. It's extremely ammo efficient and slows down all your enemies for easy kills, not to mention it has great range and guaranteed procs unlike the engineer's stubby.

I'm also a driller main, with engineer secondary. For the sentry, I do like Gemini even though it's a bit more upkeep. I can place only 1 down at a time if I'm moving around, that way I have a spare if caught off guard. Or I place both down near each other and facing the same way, so they'll lose ammo at nearly identical rates. My full setup for them is A-B-C-A. I love the extra magazine size in tier 3 because the increase to starting ammo is doubled by Gemini and it lets me leave my turrets alone for longer. The LOK-1 is easily my favourite primary for Engi. As you mentioned, he really struggles with range. But Loki can have a 50m range if you take t2A, and even the base range of 25m is often better than what the Warthog and Stubby are doing. I'm happy to let my Breach cutter handle swarms of bugs at close/medium range while Loki picks off distant targets or softens up packs from weird angles

An interesting conjecture. However, killing the bugs instantly is more efficient. I'll stick with my fatboy and explosive chemical lok1 thank you very much. In all seriousness, this build is really one to consider. I only ever use the return to sender for the minmaxxing of dps on breach.

I SINCERELY appreciate this kind of video as primarily an engineer player since I find the Warthog VERY dull compared to Stubby and the Lok-1. I’ve always found myself running 1,2,3,2,1 pretty much ALL THE TIME with the Warthog no matter the Overclock, but I like how the Warthog isn’t the center piece of the whole build, which is probably why using the ammo mod in tier 2 is enough instead of going with the pellet count mod. I’d also like to say, if turret whip was not SO DAMN GOOD as a mod, I think Miner Adjustments would have a chance of competing alongside it in tier 5. It’s kind of a shame how 4 or 5 of the mods for the Warthog, I’d argue, are obsolete/outclassed by other features in the game: -The magazine mod in tier 1 doesn’t compete with the fire rate mod AND the magazine mod in 3 does its job while out-competing the other two tier 3 mods -The recoil dampener mod is “okay,” but not as impactful as the bigger magazine mod in tier 3, and the quickfire ejector mod is outclassed by reload-canceling the Warthog AND Born Ready -The armor breaking mod in tier 4 (iirc) doesn’t really work for the Warthog as other Armor Breaking mods do (LazyMaybe said it far better than I in his Warthog video) -And as for tier 5, your video highlights the effectiveness of Turret Whip, and while Miner Adjustments is fun in perhaps a “gimmicky” way with Cycle Overload, Turret Whip is just superior Rock and Stone my guy ⛏️

I'd say placrete catalyst for the shard diffractor is an underated overclock for sure. I rarely see it down in the caves, unless I bring it myself. Probably due to how easy it is to do friendly fire, and how bugs can sometimes distupt the beam, making triggering it's explosion more difficult. It can often end up requiring more effort than its worth, but I honestly think its a fun choice. (As well, a very 'special' mention to the goo-bomber special, its weird, and it works.) But honestly, just play what you enjoy, at the end of the day having fun is what really matters! ROCK AND STONE MINERS!

The most underrated OC for my money is Electrocuting Focus Shots. You can easily negate its single downside by taking T3A and then you’re free to build it like you would a normal M1k with the added benefit of an extremely strong electric DOT. You technically miss out on some oneshot breakpoints that you’d hit with a +125% focus shot multiplier (e.g. trijaws) but the electricity will finish off those enemies very quickly anyway and they can’t fight back as long as you take T5A. For best results, take the Zhuks as your secondary with T5A and your choice of OC. Personally, I like Minimal Magazines for maximum uptime and a small DPS boost. Perhaps the most underrated part of EFS, however, is that since you’re enabling Conductive Rounds with your primary, you can comfortably take cryo grenades or pheromones, which, as we all know, are two of the strongest throwables in the game.

hot take: add a way to give the M.U.L.E upgrades, which could include things like faster walking speed, and maybe even overclocks like allowing mule to pick up resources that falls near her, or allowing mule to dig through terrain when being recalled

For me, it's the Overclocked Firing Mechanism for the GK2. I know people love the AI stability engine for non-freeze builds and Bullets of Mercy for going all-in on freezing, but I've always found the OFM to be the "goldilocks" OC between the two for when you don't want to commit to freezing but still want to make some use of it - it's not quite as good as either OC when you're doing no-freezing or all-freezing, but I have come to really enjoy the adaptability that comes with turning the GK2 into a total bullet hose find it works amazingly well in pretty much any situation. The downside is basically nothing as well, maybe I'm just used to games with more kick but I find the x2 recoil to be barely noticeable.

I'd love for more folks to give attention to m1000's electric focus shots; it pairs beautifully with x-80 and the zhukovs, especially now that dreads and oppressors can be electrified! R&S

Most underrated build mhh... 🤔 2 out of my loadout come to mind for me. 1st: Gunner with Thunderhead Combat mobility in 33321 and BRT7 with experimental rounds in 13122. Both OCs are not that often picked but are pretty good. Combat mobility with all into RoF a permanent 10% dmg boost is a pretty good tool to get rid of grunts and keeping distance to slashers. And Experimental rounds on BRT7 are just outclassed by lead spray. But I find it more usefull in hitting crit spots when you can't get close. Making it my go to in non dreadnought missions the dps is enough to kill a menace with 2-3 bursts. 2nd: weapon swap Driller with hydrogen additve on sludge in 13212 or 13112 in combination with automatic fire subata in 11133. It's pretty good but not overpowered. The Dot stack can really shred pretorians but has a problem on oppressors. Sludge with this OC alone is a good wave clearer tho. It's to play like volitle impact mixture with a bit more leeway. Any grunt is dead in a sec touching a puddle. There are better builds and this one is for sure only one that shines when you got the skill and are always on the move.

Hello, make a video guide to a flamethrower and overclock facemelter, which build like this Tier 1 - 2 Tier 2 - 2 Tier 3 - 3 Tier 4 - 1 Tier 5 - 1 This build using fear and actuall rate of fire from facemelter, to heat up bugs and rivals faster, and to have control on bugs, well usually on mactera, since fear is kinda strange and didn't often work on glyphids, but I have a little fact, that inderect heat up from tier 5 actually make fear work too, if you just close enough and didn't aim at bugs. Usually this build can teach how to preserve your mag size and be not so hot head, while jumping into the swarms. And I pair this with Subata with explosive reload. Please, make a review, CRSPR need some love, than just sticky fuel

Scouts Boomstick with Double Barrel OC + Improved Blast Wave is incredibly satisfying bug mass murder. Suffering the stigma of long having been the worst OC in the game to now being one of the best, it can be underrated if people don't know about the magic combo here. Without the t4 mod IBW, it's a fair bit less impressive. Take all the ammo mods, reload speed and your choice of fire or fear in t5, then get in close with the swarms... commence operation Delete The Bugs In Front Of The Barrels. Rock and roll and stone!

For Gunner's Coil Gun. I'd say Triple Tech Chambers. When combined with Tier 2 Controlled Magnetic flow allowing for partial charges of the gun. And tier 5 electric trail you can quickly create a large zone of damaging slows around you. Not to mention that the the Overclock still allows for high burst damage with the triple shot. It's a very versatile secondary option for gunner. But alas the Hellfire gang outshines it for good reason haha.
