RnD must love Drillers cause they for sure have the most fun designing his weapons hahaha

A couple of things that are missing in this video is that the Sludge Pump provides an INCREDIBLE amount of utility and support against fast enemies, armor-breakable bugs and Dreadnaughts. On Cave Missions with Regenerative Bugs, your Sludge Pump DoT stops bugs from recovering hp AND it breaks apart their armor, so even if they do fully recover, it is now much easier to deal with them. Additionally, while the Cryo Cannon is very powerful against Dreadnaughts, it is only so "on bursts", when you finally are able to freeze them, the Sludge Pump is good at every step of the encounter because it acts as a constant status effect. The DoT breaks the armor of the Lacerators/Arbalests and the slow down effect is powerful enough that it makes it feel like you are bullying the Hiveguard and the Glyphid Dreadnaught, as you can outrun them easily. :) It is also AMAZING for keeping the Bulk Detonators from rushing you. PS: The Sludge Pump actually can stack not one, but TWO DoTs. The projectile from the normal and charged shot is the first, and the puddle that breaks from a charged shot is the second. This means you can cover a large area with charged shot goo, and then, when a big chonky enemy comes along, you can fire at it directly for double the effect. :) Oh, and if you are playing with friends, make sure they have a way to deal fire damage, that will allow them it on fire, and inflict even more damage. Thus potentially dealing a third and also very powerful DoT. If not, then run the EPC with Burning Nightmare. ;)

Cannonically the sludge pump was made by bored "maintenence staff" The fact they showed it to both management and R&D, and both of them said it was a good idea is kinda hard to beleive

This is the weapon that made me like playing Driller. None of the others really clicked for me, but this sure did

The Sludge Pump is actually based on the Bio Rifle from Unreal Tournament. The Driller was obviously a fan of -2Fort- Facing Worlds.

Sludge Pump Gaming is the only way to play Driller

volatile impact mixture is the best oc for the weapon in solo. It makes the weapon a Jack of all trades by making the charged shots function like grenades. Disperser compound is the best for team play because of the large area coverage and lifespan.

After playing with 11222 sludge blast and 21111 blistering necrosis, I can confirm it’s very fun.

Volatile Impact Mixture actually synergizes really well with blistering necrosis, as the blisters allow the volatile mixture charge shots to multi-hit enemies. Pair with a charge shot AOE damage build, and it can put out some very solid single target damage.

Sludge pump to me at least is easily the most ammo efficient primary weapon, paired with Collette wave cooker with the gamma overclock and I can lost so much longer without resupply. I also sometimes switch the wave cooker with subata with explosive reload for crazy single target damage.

I agree i always use the sludge pump on my driller with disperser compound

Hydrogen ion additive is not giving you another 50% damage or 15% slow. The damage is a flat +0.5 per tick, adding up to a whopping 2-2.5 dps while corrosion already does 8 per tick(10 with t5b). The slow really only gives you a 9.5% increase over the base slow on direct hits, but when stacked with puddles it's only a 5% increase(with t5a this is EVEN LESS impactful, giving 4% more slow on hits and 2% more with the hit+puddle). Puddles will still do more damage and apply MUCH more slow, so HIA doesn't do much to change the playstyle of the weapon- in fact, it doesn't do much of anything at all. It's better than nothing, but it seriously needs a buff.

Just finished the assignment for this thing, insane video timing

You are very underrated and very high quality on your videos. I respect you dear sir, ty for being my go-to drg guide youtube channel :)

Very good tutorial for the sludge pump overstocks. Rock And Stone! 🍺

Mf really put down volatile but praised the shotgun overclock. Volatile deals more direct and has more puddles while if you hit every single projectile from the shotgun on an enemy, you get no puddles.

I personally like Volatile Impact mixture a lot, if you take damage up on normal shots you get very good dps and you still kill groups of grunts with 1 charged shot. I don't really like more AoE oriented OCs because Cryo and Flamethrower are just better at it, especially when enemies come from the ceilings, since charged shot puddles don't stick to them for some reason.

Ah yes, the destroyer of omen towers and bet-c.

You should keep doing the "blank" is the best gun titles until you get to the sabata. Would be a pretty funny changeup.

Honestly this is my favorite weapon of driller but haven't had luck unlocking any overclocks

Great video 👍👍👍

I love Engineer's genuine confusion about R&D's swiftness to make the goop machine

Dunno if it was a bug or a feature but the charged shot direct impact on large enemies did a LOT more damage than it says, it was almost always a good idea to use it and pick any upgrades or overclocks that enhanced it. Perhaps it is working as intended and is indeed supposed to absolutely delete anything hit. Wish the shotgun didnt have extra projectile speed, you’d be able to shoot it like a volley instead of a blast, much better for area denial IMO

I agree with video title. I use It and every body hate me untill they see its damage and how usefull is it

I see every driller that isn't a greenbeard use this gun and I agree it's powerful, but as someone who played Farcry (3 and 4 specifically, which both feature flamewthrowers and even a flamethrower based mission each) a lot as a youngster, and had pyro in my #3 spot in TF2 class mains, flamethrowers are just home for me. But builder classes such as engineer will always be my favorite.

I’ve actually never used this weapon before since the flamethrower sticky flames just fells like it makes this one useless

Very nice intro😂

Sludge pump is the only weapon which melts bugs LITERALLY

The Geneva suggestion surely doesn't apply to bugs

You want an idea for a crazy weapon A Web launcher, it shoots webs, they slow down enemies, apply poison and mitigate fall damage

its good weapon...but i hate ammo cost....i allways run out of ammo when im using it...

AG Mixture is my jam. Ever since the Sludge Pump was introduced it was the OC I was mainly using, even before they buffed it a bit. It may be good for newcomers but it also allows a whole different way of playing Sludge Pump. I simply like it because its the only OC that allows those very long range shots and sniping enemies from the ceiling can be a skill of itself since you have to get used to the travel time. I also like that whenever I see, lets say, few macteras coming behind my teammate and I'm a bit far away I can fire those few shots and possibly save my teammate from taking hit. Very underrated OC in my opinion.

Meanwhile, one of the weapons he covered isnt an ammo increase at all, and he calls it ammo increase anyways

despite being 25% of the Excavation Unit ,Drillers commit 90% of violent crimes !

"Toxic Crusader" AKA the average League of Legends player.

Sticky Fuel would like to know your location

Sludge pump isn't a crazy idea out of nowhere, it's just bio cannon from unreal tournament. Like literally. There's nothing new under the sun.

Every one of your videos states “_______ is the strongest weapon”. Typical KZfaq trash clickbait.

Saying sludge pump is the best is criminal
