I am late! But I am here. Gamma contamination works MUCH more effectively with the wide lens in tier 1. It doesn’t roll for the DoT per ammo spent, but rather per bug hit. Through testing I’ve found it has more longevity than even the ammo mod through sheer effeciency.

Microwave jump scare never ever thought I would ever have to see that

Thank you for the recommendations! I think this is the only weapon I avoid taking any upgrades on a tier for because taking either option on tier 4 disables the reload animation. I don't find either toggle to be really worthwhile and I'd rather hit reload to play a funny animation.

Ya know, Sticky Flames CRSPR is still the strongest set and forget DoT for most enemies, in terms of Time to Kill and Ammo Efficiency. t3a, Temp Shock, and either Blisters or Rad OC also wipes out most things, save BetC or Dreads I didn't know Jetty Boots could ignite like Hover Boots- thats awesome. Thanks for showing!

For temp shock builds, watching the freeze chain reaction can be fun but i think temp shock really shines with the sticky fuel OC that increases flame time on surfaces. Another build that does scary dps for driller is face melter crispR with the OC on the wave cooker that creates boils.

Love that you showed off my favorite Driller secondary! I may be a Gunner main but I can't get enough of the power of DOT that Driller packs and the CWC definitely brings out some awesome effects as far as build design goes. There's something about watching them melt... Or be vaporized.

you should also give 11111 Mega Power Supply a shot. its a fantastic all rounder secondary for a sludge build. the extra ammo lets you use it a lot more aggressively, and it more than makes up for the lack of extra DoT with the radioactive mod on any non-boss enemy. Additionally, the radioactive OC ruins some breakpoints on enemies, especially on haz5 with 3-4 dwarves. the big one that comes to mind is it takes three shots instead of two to kill swarmers, and it takes a lot longer to kill medium sized enemies, such as grunts and slashers

Personally I like the temp shock build and when I use it, I generally go for the flamethrower because not only are the burning thresholds lower as you said, the flamethrower also benefits from sticky flames and with some heat modifications it's really easy to light fire-weak enemies like macteras and Spitballers up. (I am also too lazy to switch my loadout for every single mission and I can excuse going into the magma core with a flamethrower but not into the glacier with a fridge gun) For the switchable lenses I usually go for the focus lens because it increases fire rate and thus I get to proc my effects more often on single targets which are really hard to miss. Also the sludge pump DoT build is in my opinion the best driller loadout for dreadnoughts singe they are basically immune to your other primaries.

I love the DoT stacking of gamma contamination and contagion transmitter with the sludge pump, but I feel like both need higher proc rates. 10% chance on CT feels pretty bad when left to rng, and a 25% chance on GC is too low since that the overclock gives you three nerfs with a buff only (approximately)a quarter of the time.

Fair point!

Nice video. I highly recommend trying out t5b boiler ray with cryo builds, the bugs will still explode despite being frozen! I find the T3 temperature spread upgrade is enough to spread cold, and the boiler ray will instantly delete clumps of bugs. I think it pairs extremely well with snowball, since you can freeze clumps from long range and then instantly pop them all. My main issue with temp shock cryo cooker is that its pretty bad against anything bigger than a guard. Temp shock is easy enough to trigger multiple times with fire, since you can lay down sticky. With cryo, refreezing and tempshocking bigger enemies is really inefficient. The cooker itself does triple damage to frozen enemies, and while its still not a ton of damage its decent. For example, if you freeze a cluster of grunts and a prae/stingtail or two, the boiler ray explosions from all the grunts combined with the direct cooker beam will kill the praes quickly, while still keeping them frozen. Boiler ray also lets you use the weapon against enemies that arent frozen and not feel completely useless. Also in regards to T4, you can equip neither option and then you get to see the cookers reload animation when you press r. I also really love blistering necrosis, since the cooker itself can multihit the creature and blister, or any of your primaries/impact axes.

the temp shock is not bad against bigger glyphids. 200 is only 40 dmg less than thin containment field for the epc. the problems with boiler ray is that there is only a 50% chance a nearby glyphid will pop, and only within 2.5 meters, and the fact that dmg only takes place after the bug's hp runs out, this is very ammo hungry.

@@commonsense-og1gz the damage is not the point of temp shock being bad on bigger bugs, it uses a ton of cryo ammo to repeat temp shock something and cryo is already by far drillers least ammo efficient primary. Boiler ray uses some more ammo to kill the bug, but it uses cooker ammo and not cryo ammo. I still think temp shock is good with fire, it just doesnt make much sense to me to remove all the amazing benefits of freezing a bug. When it comes down to it, imo cryo driller isnt lacking ways of killing frozen enemies. Drills have a lot of fuel and do a lot of damage, 4 c4 charges on frozen packs, axes and then you have your secondary. I always run out of cryo ammo before secondary ammo if I am using a temp shock epc or cwc. boiler ray is much better against jellies/swarmers/non frozen enemies, and I find that it accomplishes the same thing cryo temp shock does (kill bunches of grunts), just for a slightly (with temp shock being a 25% chance this isnt as big as it seems) higher ammo cost. Basically it comes down to me wanting to maximize my cryo ammo on bigger targets, and I think its worth sacrificing cwc ammo efficiency vs grunts since I already have drills and c4. Obviously this is all just my opinion and preference, play whatever you want.

I use the same build as the first, but I found that using Blistering Necrosis with Convex Lens (T1 mod), and I bring the impact axes. This is an all-around build that slows, applies a dot, and allows for burst damage against tanky targets.

These are two of my favorite builds with driller, although there are some amendments to be made to suit my most powerful iterations of them. Firstly for the sludge pump, I take the shotgun overclock to apply several stacks of the corrosive effect on a single large enemie, and use the wave cooker as described. I call it my 'Omai wa mo shinderu' build' since I can apply enough dots in an instant to kill pretorians. For the cryo cannon build, equip both of the increased width improvements to make its area of effect more like the outer ring of the retinal. Using the width toggle without the additional width addon will be closer to the inner ring on the aiming retina. Doing so will cause entire swarms of glyphids to evaporate after freezing only a few of them. I call it my Flash Freeze build, since you only need to fire the cryo cannon briefly and freeze a handful of bugs, before watching the rest of the hoard follow suit.
