How to find your main as Driller. Whether its EPC Mining or the 3 main weapons. A guide to how I always test my builds before bringing them into Elite Deep Dives.
I hope that you enjoy the video but please let me know if you didn't. I can't learn without you guys giving feedback. Go easy as this is not the video I wanted, but ended up with due to technical issues with my computer. I actually had to remake this and almost lost it completely.
Made some sacrifices to quality and depth (in my opinion) so let me know what you think in the comments. Like or Dislike!

Nothing more painful than trying to freeze things as a cryo driller when your friend likes pyro driller haha. It’s hard to coordinate the freeze, burn, temp shock play style sometimes. So I usually run sludge pump or flamer with them :)

I want to say, before I even go through the rest of the video, this is the most sensible, reasonable and considerate intro about player playstyle preferences and intent. It's rare for someone to realize or maybe to acknowledge that it's rarely the case that one thing is superior and other inferior.

I really appreciate that. This game is saturated with meta builds and nobody focusing on team synergy or the coop aspect. Not to mention that it's not that serious, so you should be able to use what you want and be left alone without being told your build sucks. Of all games out there, this is not the one to be worried about metas. Thanks for watching, hope your loving this game as much as I do

Not someone who's been able to play haz 5, but the ammo thing is so true. I really like the synergy between the flamethrower and subata's heat/damage upgrade. I have my flamethrower upgraded to set things on fire really fast (this takes most grunts out on its own) and then pull out the pistol to finish off bigger enemies with the damage I get from them being on fire. So fun

@Orudaiken 2 жыл бұрын

Here I am absolutely confounded how people are sleeping on sticky flames. Tons of damage, tons of control, very little ammo actually needs to be used. Only “weakness” of the build is that driller sucks against falling rocks unless you have lots of axes for doretta on solo EDD. Usually quite easy since driller takes small damage and deals high damage with small ammo spent and fastest overall traversal and mining speed.

@@TheLegendOfFLG It certainly gave me some things to think about. Will you be covering Collete gun in the future? It has so much synergy with other weapons - it's a really cool addition. I know you didn't have time to familiarize yourself with them yet. On the topic of builds - what do you think about team centered builds? I play with my friends mostly so we know what to expect and can coordinate. In the game with randoms your own survival is most important - however with stable group you can potentially make less solo builds and more team builds. What are your thoughts on that?

@TheLegendOfFLG 2 жыл бұрын

@@radosawowczarzak3132 doing a vid for all the new weapons individually. Also another driller vid for more advanced stuff I never got to squeeze into this one. Team builds are flipping amazing. My main is arc turret and spinning death, almost every point is stun related with not enough ammo to kill things. Yet I would choose that build 100% of the time for any mission. Even if you have a team build, there will inevitably be a point where you get ambushed and your alone, or your team is down. So you still need to be able to survive with it on your own. But team builds are great. Especially goo gun slow down effects. Just slow everything down and either your team or your collette gun will wipe them out while they are struggling to move. Of course not all randoms will be on top of it but if you have a crew then you will be golden 👍

My main driller build is crisper 22331 fuel stream deffuser, this build gives you ammo and a flame reach of 20, this is double most builds and lets you set anything on fire at long range. backing this up was subata 22121 chain hit, this lets you do heavy dmg to anything on fire and bounce rounds into other targets, lastly axes to help dmg anything not on fire or with more HP then the subata can deal in a fast amount of time. other parts like perks and other upgrades are up to you but I run : born ready, thorns or strone arm, vemp, dash and iron will. Lastly switching out chain hit on the subata for tranqulizer rounds is a good pick but it's 50% chance to activate doesn't seem to be right it feels more like 25%, that being said stunning big targets for 6 seconds is a big help at higher haz and will let fire do it's work and give you brething room before it trys to eat you again.

TL;DR I wish the video spoke about more advanced techniques specifically related to Driller. I really don't like playing Driller and I don't know why. To me, he just seems sluggish and I often feel overwhelmed. A huge part of me was hoping this video would change my perspective because I have friends who gush over Driller. They've explained some of his tricks to me, but I still can't find that love (or even enjoyment) for playing this class. I'm disappointed to say that this video didn't change my perspective. I've watched your previous videos and your tip of going into a Hazard 5 solo w/o Bosco is really beneficial (plus your other class tips and tricks are also really helpful)! I did know about EPC mining from my said friends, but I'm just a little bummed that there weren't any more advanced Driller techniques, other than general tips. Whether that was your original intention with this video or not, I don't exactly know. I love your content, but this video felt out of place and disorganised - were you trying to teach OC's tips and tricks, a generic video for every class but featuring driller, or trying to showcase a few OC builds? Please don't mistake this as hate/condescension, rather as criticism and curiosity. As you said, you wish you could've gone into more depth with the sludge pump, and I do too. Glitches and file corruption are such a pain, I feel you there. Technical glitches aside, I'm disappointed that this video was uploaded after the new secondary was released. I'm curious as to why you didn't wait until after the update (and give it some time to feel the new secondary out) before adding that content to this video (or making the video after the weapon dropped). I'm also curious that the technical glitches you had in making this video now, will they impact future video production/or will the same glitches pop up? As I said above, I really love your content and your valuable tips have changed how I build and playtest my builds. That I can't ignore, and I really appreciate you making DRG content. Keep it up! I look forward to seeing what the next video you release/have planned.

@TheLegendOfFLG 2 жыл бұрын

I seriously appreciate this! This is the kind of feedback that I am looking for. I couldn't agree with you more about the advanced tips, I don't want to be a newbie channel because there are lots of those. I want to get people playing haz 5s and carrying teammates. Which is the whole theme for DRAcademy. So regarding that, the issue is that the first video I lost was I not replaceable due to losing so much footage. When I remade it, I used what footage I had and ended up being fairly basic. I do believe the cryos vampire build example and epc to be the most advanced thing in the video. So I completely agree with your assessment. The reason why I could no longer add or change anything to the video is due to the video length. It got so long that it started eating 100 gigs every time I even clicked on something. And then would freeze and crash leaving me unable to edit it at all. For the future, I'm never doing a long video again, until I get an upgraded pc that can handle it. Unless its a gameplay video because those dont have the effects/transitions that end up crashing my computer when it gets past 16 minutes. I've deff learned my lesson with this one. And intend to follow up with more advanced gameplay videos with 3 players demonstrating how to carry. Which is where this all started. As far as the new secondary, i still don't have it as I am on xbox. A huge disadvantage for a youtuber. Someone can put out a video and get 20k views overnight because it's brand new content. Then weeks later I finally get it and I'm already behind the curve. So when I do the new weapons it will be when I've tested them in haz 5s and elite deep dives with high numbers. Then I will share what I use and what I've found. Maybe some day, this youtube thing will be legit for me so I can afford a new pc and the time to deliver what is expected if me. (I work 6 days a week) And you sir, have helped me get there by leaving this comment so I greatly appreciate it. 🙏 I hope to hear from you in the future. Rock and Stone

I respect you use Cold Radiance with freezing 11 too, if you're agressive and stay close with Cryo you can freeze most mobs for cheap, then follow it up with anything you like.

Something I need to personally work on however is actually making use of the throwing axes, I know they're strong, I know they're useful, but it really just isn't on my mind as driller when I'm running a build that already destroys everything it touches with relative ease. Even Praetorians aren't worth worrying about since i can just temperature shock damage them faster than an axe can kill them in most situations.

@TheLegendOfFLG 2 жыл бұрын

Damn I have to try that. I can tell it's a solid build because your not using your axes. I would die if I did that with most of my builds. So clearly it's working well for you. Your probably good at little things like not over cryo-ing wasting ammo, and general awareness of your surroundings. Also sounds like you have excellent aim and maybe on PC? I will be running this for sure, the numbers don't lie when you can survive that long ⛏️🪨🍻

@undefinedbhvr 2 жыл бұрын

Honestly the biggest tip I can give about the way I play is even just getting four or five frozen will allow you to switch to the wave cooker and melt a large group (RNG forbidding, of course.) The temperature being spread around allowing more freezes, and the chance of a thermal shock doing 200 damage and also freezing more enemies can get pretty ridiculous. ln essence you're losing out on the versatility that something like the EPC provides to instead smash your primary and secondary weapons into a single wave destroying monster. It handles every enemy thrown at it. Swarmers, grunts, guards, mactera, acid shooters, web shooters, praetorians, you name it, it melts it. Though I would recommend leaving the Praetorian and Oppressors to your gunner so he doesn't get bored.

All this in mind though, I used to run combo pyro in Team Fortress 2 for many years before Valve more or less abandoned the game, so I already have experience in what we call there the puff and sting tactic.

The way impact axes work is interesting. I wonder if the reason why it can sail through a whole bunch of those poison generating mushrooms and be reused as long as it doesn't hit any other non-solid surface targets along the way comes down to the ax consistently mulching the poison mushrooms with the first instance of damage, or if the impact acts just behaves differently against them than it does against most targets.

6:46 - The worst possible example here. I agree, that it`s better to balance the downsides of overclocks with weapon mods, but Fuel stream diffuser is actually one of the rarer examples, that you don`t want to balance. Slower rate of fire stat is actually an upside, because fire rate does NOT affect napalm. That means, that you actually use less ammo, but cover more soil with napalm, plus you can abuse the heck out of heat radiance mod in T5. Yes, your direct damage suffers a bit, but who actually is using flamethower for direct damage? (But if you really want direct damage from flamethrower, consider Facemelter OC, lol). If you pick more ammo in T3, instead of fire rate, you`ll end up with one of the most ammo efficent builds for driller, or you can make your napalm hurt even harder. Yes, this overclock is secretly a clean one, not balanced

21:47 I joined a random lobby that was Liquid Refining, and they had a Signal Transmitter and a Trililite Meteor events that spawned, and they gave ZERO quacks about it, myself and the other random attempted to do them, but as we did, they started the refining machine, triggering waves of enemies and refused to help us. We failed both events, but did succeed in the primary objective. (Yes they were relatively new players) But that was a first for me, typically most players want to do everything and are eager to learn, not these guys though.

Disclaimer, I understand that a large part of this game is playing your own way and having fun, and that there is no single correct option when it comes to equipment loadout. Therefore, some may not agree with what I wish to say, while others will. But I would like to share my own experience from playing this game, and just the way I build my kits. My strategy has always been to take as much ammo as I can, and get as much maximum potential damage as as I can. So I ALWAYS take the extra ammo mods, regardless of what the other upgrades in the tier are. Even if it's damage or reload. This gives me as high of a maximum potential damage as I can get, meaning I can both last longer and kill more bugs between each resupply. I also view many of the mods in a way that makes me think wether or not I gain anything from it. Such an example would be rate of fire or reload mods. In my own personal opinions, I think these mods are just useless. They don't give me anything that I could elsewise gain with just more time. I can't hold more ammo, have larger range or AoE, or have a special mechanic by waiting for a few seconds. But I can reload my weapon or fire more rounds by just waiting a few more seconds. I always aim for as many kills/damage per ammo spent as I can, and in turn I can last longer before a resupply. And yes, sometimes I don't have the time to do such things, but again this goes back to the idea that no option is the single most correct option. People can play as they want, but still have fun and be effective. But overall, I try to get as much damage or kills, or rather possibility, out my ammo as I can.

With Bosco you can go to his terminal. And in the bottom left there's a box you can uncheck so you don't bring him with you Gives you truly just 1 life. And you don't need him carrying an Aquarq and getting in the way.

@TheLegendOfFLG 2 жыл бұрын

Indeed! Although with the load times in and out, bringing Bosco can help revive you for stupid mistakes of which I made many while testing these builds. I also enjoy the extra light source. But this can deff work too, in my original engie masterclass I recommend to do that so you are forced to load out and change your build. So deff a good tip here for someone serous about testing these points out.

@TheLegendOfFLG Жыл бұрын

Literally nobody is saying it does other than you in order to frame it so that's what I was talking about to validate your opinion. It's extremely simple math: When damage exceeds your shields and you have low health, you will die. When damage exceeds shields and you have full health you will instead take health damage and not die unless its an insane amount of damage which the exception does not make the rule. Therfore less health means more chances of death. But even as I made very clear mistakes, I was able to survive and get my health back without the use of red sugar or resupply. Which is the entire point, that the build and that part of the video. The video does not suggest the game effects your damage based on health. But thanks for watching anyway

@seamusrichardson5601 2 жыл бұрын

Another thing people fail to consider is ammo economy. You should make a decision when you are making your build: Do you want to last a long time without resup or do you want to deal maximum damage? your weapons should usually run out of ammo at the same time, and here is why. If you are running a lasting build, you should be using both of your weapons enough to run out at roughly same time, whenever that time may be, and if you are running a damage build, your weapons should be out of ammo at the same time because if they are not it is a surefire sign that at least one of your weapons isnt optimal, hence the overuse of the other weapon until it ran out of ammo.

@TheLegendOfFLG 2 жыл бұрын

Very good point! So many people just use 1 weapon and not as much as a bubble shield for an entire mission. But call resupplies when missing 1 bar even though they are full on everything else. Then they wonder why they can't clear Edds which are so ammo demanding.

Gonna just say this here and now: the damage from the mod on your armor that does AOE when your shield breaks isn't even enough to kill a swarmer. You're far better served with the extra 3 seconds of invulnerability on revive. Additionally, I watched a video that researched the drills specifically. As it turns out, if you take both drill speed mods, your Dwarf will drill faster than he can walk, resulting in a loss of ammo efficiency. So it's actually better to take barbed drills in tier 1.

@TheLegendOfFLG Жыл бұрын

I don't use the shield break for damage son, it slows enemies down and gives me time to get away. I wouldn't rely on something like that for damage. If my shield is breaking it means I am about to receive health damage so I best be moving out of the way. Damage really doesn't matter in this game. My main is a stun build and my gunner uses fear and it absolutely crushes every single mission on haz 5. I don't use the drills for speed, at all. And I'm sure what situation calls for it. Even with the base mods I can get away from anything as long as I am not overheating my drills. Who cares about drills speed? Been playing for 4 years and never relied on it. Just dont overhwat them. Also i hope your not referring to the drill set up made for drilling through enemies? Because that has literally nothing to do with drilling tunnels.
