The main criteria for a build is how well it can handle blackout stout before a mission.

I DID NOT SEE THAT OUTRO COMING. Good job.

1:25 LMFAOOOO THE DRILLER'S TWERKING IS SYNCED TO THE BEAT OF THE SONG

This genuinely feels like some sort of training video that DRG would be used to educate dwarves on loadouts. The amount of professionalism in this video feels so badass, great work.

I like the audio usage

I have been waiting for this for months!!! Exceptional work! Super cool! Thx

Pump action got a shoutout

I am personally of the opinion that AoE damage on the conductive thermals OC for the drak is also worth considering. While you're giving up some damage that you deal yourself, it counts as a seperate hit and lets you build up the debuff twice as fast.

For sure a great video but I do feel it lacked on mod options a lot and a few overclocks are missing. Flamer on sticky can still take heat rad just for general safety if surrounded and a little bit of pushing power even the mag size really does limit that. Fuel Stream although optimally in sticky flame config can still be used solidly for direct heat or more ammo for heat rad, mostly something I'd consider for sabo. Scorching Tide should also be mentioned for how good it is at overheating bots, particularly patrol bots and nemesis along with heat mod being good in general for sabo. Explosive Reload can take reload speed but nice call out even mentioning it. Ice Storm is also a very nice Cryo overclock if your goal is damage well still having cold rad unlike sludge though it can get ammo hungry if you go full damage. Volatile in charged shot configuration is also really good offering more aoe. Wave cooker takes rof really well in tier 2 to trigger temp or kill for boiler faster, I'd consider it better than heat but it can be nice as well, tier 4 also reallows inspect which is just funny to add. Mega power is also still incredible for temp shock and blisters can simply be funny with more damage oriented options. Heavy Hitter can also be taken well with cryo if your goal is to single target follow it up yourself, relies a lot more on drills and teammates for crowd cleanup though and teammates do single target follow up great as is. Heavy Hitter takes normal shot damage in tier 1 if your goal is to use it for well damage but ammo is good for igniting sludge so fair. Heat Pipe can also be nice for BN charged shots if you want to ignite a bunch in a row but struggles if they're not. Rotary is also a good direct damage overclock from the rof so can act fully like leadstorm with agg venting as a bonus or the fastest to reach hot bullets meaning that and blowthrough/AB are solid options too. It and Burning Hell can also take ammo the best just to do ignition more but damage is helpful for meshing single target. LSLS can take variable in tier 4 if your goal truly is just dps but it hinders your response time which is also important, blowthrough is also pretty good if you wanna add some crowd clear flexibility to it. Little More Oomph is also a really good clean having spin-up to better take variable making it comparable to LSLS dps when fully stabilized and still having the safety of acceptable stun if you want something more simple. Although NTP is the best (op and whatnot) Mortar really should get a mention as also good for crowd clear, not on par with minelayer or clusters tbf but not even NTP truly is and Big Bertha can maybe be mentioned as versatile single target lean but honestly minigun can tend to do that better. Build for Mortar is 2/33223, the damage resist applies after 2 shots with growth and reduces the self damage. Build for Bertha is 2/321/312 though it also reaches resist fast if you so desire that route. All of Hurricane (with stun) is good just to note but really all I have to say is PBM can take ammo nicely due to being flat compared to the downside if you really want to spam it and the stun more. If you find yourself disliking the accuracy of lead spray experimental rounds is a very good side-grade giving about the same damage but with different downsides, compact mags is also worth noting for a more general backup, something more suited for stun and mactera/web spitters. Not mentioning Six Shooter or Elephant rounds is simply a travesty, Six Shooter is a very good general backup and Elephant is very nice burst and accuracy, for sure not as good as volatile (it's absurd) but nice options outside of fire comp for bulldog. Mole is very good if you happen to be a few walls behind a scout pinging a spitballer, shellback, stingtail, or most higher health targets and for sure deserves mention for a damage option. Build for mole would be 23212/3, the piercing damage is a flat bonus so although good at first damage and overcharger fall off in true potential shots. Hellfire takes charge speed really well too if you're willing to forego efficient fear. TTC can also be a solid damage option too if you desire such, NTC is also a great option for it and reatomizer in fire comp and is very slept on for such, can pair well with mole if said scout is to ignite first as well. UMC I'd put on a particular pedestal due to synergizing fear elec coil best, this combo is entirely op for just 10 ammo to spam what is effectively a swarm not attack button and coil in general on one due to how much this can just remove the threat of the game. It can also take ammo fine if your goal is to really shut down the game but it's already absurdly efficient. Although often more consistent with pellets ammo is generally a valid pick for Warthog if you really want it, such as to lean more into stunner stun or turret whip though main limit to whip is turret ammo. Cycle Overload is also pretty good for up close dps. Pump Action can also take damage though is easily best case for AB if ever wanting it. EM Refire can also swap mag to rof and accuracy to mag if you want to use it more like a shotgun though accuracy is massive to anything beyond that sort of range. Alloy can take rof as well for a big dps boost if you're really confident in your recoil controlling abilities. SMRT Trigger although good for a time is very heavily hurt by base lok ammo econ making it overly limited, not bad but for sure a peg below ECR and EXE, it is also the best time for blowthrough if you so desire. Executioner also takes elec in tier 5 well, with the tier 3 it applies the exact same 20% damage bonus, this bonus also stacks if the enemy is on fire to 40% but alone you can only apply fire and not elec without lok itself, unstable can stack on top of the 40% if a teammate applies elec but that requires it in your teamcomp. Basically just better if you don't have elec in the team. Really good job actually mentioning Fat Boy and in a good light as it does have good potential however Volatile Impact or Roll Control are simply far more versatile, what fat boy can do Volatile can do in a single mag, spend half a mag if smaller swarm, spend half a mag clearing mactera, spend a single mag on a praet or warden, or roll control can also stun and do solid single target damage alongside being able to spend on smaller bursts. RJ can take ammo tier 1 and stun tier 4 as solid options too, also good job mentioning RJ and Hyperprop but again a lot less versatile than the other 2 as PGL just tends to fall into. Inferno can take mag tier 1 if caring more about close range and sheer pushing power, it gives +3 ammo due to getting a mag on top of reserve, can also take triple split decently if you like it. As said Roll Control for sure takes width and then mag to have some extra ammo as it basically just doubles coverage area. Light-Weight Cases can also be a nice clean if you simply want to spam breach some more though isn't quite on the level of these 2. Volatile takes mag size FAR better since you can spam pickaxe or terrain scanner a little to regain the ability to fire so it's just 50 free ammo and more sustain. (Only reason Overdrive doesn't take it is the dumping mag ammo thing.) Armor Break is VERY slept on for Volatile, Overdrive, and shard in general as well since the magma applies heat really well as is it works as incredible support, simply point and click a stingtail or praet a little and they're stripped and Overdrive going for single target simply likes to ignore it, if going fire comp fire does help a lot on more single targets though if you want them ignited, like a spitballer. Plascrete Catalyst is also a solid and fun gimmick if you like it. SCOUT SEGMENT BELOW

This is great! Rock and stone! For the future, if you are taking suggestions, I'd love to see a video focused on the prim/sec builds for each class that really shine during specific mission types. On the chance you have a great way of using loadout presets, I'd love to see a walkthrough of how you've done that, and what the presets are. Cheers

the visuals are great!

TLDR: The most powerful build in DRG is having friends.

For Driller's new OC (Combustive Goo Mixture), I wouldn't recommend going with Heavy Hitter. I would instead recommend Heat Pipe, it has the most ammo efficiency and ignite capability because the charge shot infinitely pierces and ignites in one shot. You typically don't need more than the one charge shot to clear a wave, since it's self-sustaining (exploding bugs set other bugs on fire, which can then be goo'd and exploded). I can drop my exact build setup if needed.

Dude this is awesome!!!! Thx so much for the time and effort you put into this

Just tried out the subata's explosive reload with neurotoxin catalyst. WOW. It's a really fun way to play. I used to think full auto was the way to go because of the stacking bonus, but using explosive reload to ensure you trigger neurotoxin catalyst most of the time is just so much better.

Holy shit, this is a masterpiece! I don't often comment on videos but i must say i am really impressed, especially by such a small creator. Good work and keep them coming. Really liked the editing style and the useful information combined, you did a really good job sir. ROCK AND STONE BROTHER! ⛏

what pickaxe overclocks would you recommend

YES YES UES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG HELL YEAH!!!!!! Also getting back into Driller more

I'm fairly new to the game, so I can't take much advantage of such advanced stuff. Anyway stunning production value!

I’ve been waiting for this vid ty

:0 This video format is lovely

Great video !

Btw the roll control build is listed wrong, you want to take t1b mag size as you already have a duration bonus on the oc and t2c wide beam is a must as it provides x4 theoretical coverage

Great editing

Season 5 actually got me to switch from Flouromantic Acid to Protein Disruption Mix, specifically to deal with those Core Spawn. Just gunk up the area for slowdowns so the team can pick them off as needed.

Good video I'm getting back into DRG and my skills is a bit rusty so hopefully these builds can help me out

Why not spining death on breach cutter? Insane single target and wave clear, area denial, it's got everything.

Good video bro

awesome video

Very nice video, very informative, definitely will be using some of the builds Also, what is that weapon paintjob for the scout, it looks so good

I really like the blue oil rig, it helps the caution stripes pop out more. I wish you could change the building colors on console

Best drg build video ⛏️

very nice

The outro 💀 (nice vid :3)

No mention of Hipster for scout is interesting... Not as viable on haz 5+ or is mentioning it just redundant by now, since it's probably the most popular overclock for scout?

Also 3 shot overclock is pretty good w marked for death Supper solo target dmg As swarm control drak w aggressive system of venting is strong Flame+fear

Love it! Would you do a solo builds as well please? 🙌

try marked for death with trifork volley, its quicker dps than the zukov exploding shells and can bring heavy single targets dps

You did not mention the mortar OC for gunner. It ignores enemy armor and resistances and easily takes out preatorians and everything below it. It is especially effective against stingtails and other highly armored bugs since its AOE ignores their armor. It also ignores robot resistances and deals significant damage to them, however it is lacking when fighting the the robot boss. It lacks single target damage making it weak against oppressors and dreadnaughts. To make up for that I bring the burst pistol with lead spray to deal large single target damage. Lead spray is especially effective against bulks to a seemingly unnatrual extent.

Absolutely excellent guide! Team comps are an underrated topic in vanilla lobbies, something that has become apparent to me when switching from playing 6x2 to pubbing on 5+

ROCK. AND. STOOOONE.

wow this is really useful since ive been having a hard time with the harder difficulties thanks bro! also what stock/wepon framework do you use for the bulldog revolver to make it have that slimmer barrel?

Is the safety first mod for scout's grappling hook that good as it only seems to give 25% fall damage res for 3seconds versus the 1 second cooldown?

0/10 for not pointing out the ammo mod on zipline makes scouts obsolete.

What framework was his bulldog? It looked like an old timer six shooter.

Question: with micro conductor add ons is it worth not running bug reppellent so it encourages them to walk onto electrified platforms? Ive been trying this out with more ammo in the final slot

Are the faster drills fixed? I remember seeing a video comparison with the slower option and there was no difference it was just actually the impression you got from the mining speed, and you cant keep up with your actual speed. I saw that video 2 years ago so maybe they fixed that as i see many people use faster drills.

I got to know how I can get that computer helmet that the gunner had on!

Can you explain the wave cooker tier 2 / tier 4 interactions?

Doesn't barbed drills do the same thing as hardened tips but with more damage against bugs, or was this changed?

Question: why would you go for damage mods in T1 and T3? What's the purpose of this build?

5:00 Do you use T2a or T2c? It's not obvious due to the same icon being used for these two options in game

Is this the excel sheet in video form? honestly. still gonna watch either way Build Emporium? cant remember the name of it

Can you elaborate on Wave Cooker Tier 4 interfering with Tier 2 Heat Sink ?

😀 NICE

the outro... also what about rolling tide? Is it too expensive due to its gimmick?

Bruh I want that bulldog skin so bad

Nice use of the audio filter but maybe drop it after the intro?

Thought you would have mentioned the flame bolts for the boltshark, they're ass tho ngl needs a lot more fire output to be useful.

After meeting you in a game and beeing complete ass, i think it might be smart of me to look at some of your tips ;)

0:32 name of the armor set color plz

Great video! I uh, see you rejected my note about excluding the worse driller gun (cryo cannon) which is cool I guess I mean do whatever I suppose

Interesting builds. Though, is proximity trigger the best on RJ250 Compound? Doesn't that make rocket jumping with no enemies around really difficult?

Don't disrespect hoverclock

Warthog with mini shells (12221) with gemini system and turrent whip is amazing for swarm clear pared with Light weight cases (23223) breach cutter or RJ250 compound (21122) PGL and proximity mine's to fill in where the warthog can't.

Why skip hipster, have you even tried it?! It's far faster mobility wise then SCC and is still great for single target, because of how much SCC sacrifices on ammo. Obvioulsy this SCC is crap for anything but possibly eliminations and even then the dreadnought CONSTANTRLY turns, embedded detonators are so much better at handling big targets. In general my point is sacrificing both primary and secondary for single target damage unless you can rely on your team(I have no friends so I cant) isnt a great idea and hipster provides both single target and swarm clear capabilities.

MPA warthog is a joke. On high hazards that slow fiterate is such a big downside. Cycle overload is much better. And smart trigger on loki is dogshit. Quite literally dogshit. Arguably worse than base loki. Can barely hit weakpoints because it's a weird mix of semi auto and bending shots. Would not recommend it to anyone.
