Amazing Loki Smart Rifle Builds in Deep Rock Galactic

[@gorgor186]

Ive been really getting into DRG and I’m happy that you are making build vids. We need more DRG content.

He's been doing these video's for years. Welcome to his content!

The electricity generator does actually still proc with Smrt trigger even if you only have two locks

[@hankokazaki5804]

Yes, 2-lock electricity proc is actually the most efficient in terms of electricity generated per bullet and it's very fast. It helps with ammo economy versus smaller targets.

[@hunterswepic]

@@hankokazaki5804 also combine with SD and the electrical damage mod and you got some spicy single target.

I like running the new smart trigger overclock with volatile impact shard defractor. Lok1 is built with electrochemical bullets and faster lock-ons to spread as much electric DoT as possible, and shard defractor is built for single target with weakpoint damage and bonus electric damage (since the impact effect already handles crowds just fine. Against big crowds I can ignite the whole group with impact reactor and then clean up quickly with Lok1, and against bigger targets I can electrify them with Lok1 instead and then melt them down with shard defractor. Super fun way to play IMO

If you rock the SmRt Trigger OS I think it is essential to also run the SmRt Targeting Software to conserve ammunition. Then it decimates any type of swarmers as well as not wasting ammo on low health enemies. With good turret placement, the SmRt LOK and SSGs the Engineer can almost be played on auto-pilot.

[@Dovar69]

you made a mistake with the SMRT trigger OS, the overclock also makes it so that only 2 lock-ons trigger the electricity of T5

[@wonpiful]

ECR Lok1 with fatboy, my personal favorite combo. Although, Breach cutter does offer more linear crowd control and much more ammo, but no feeling like blasting mini nuke at horde.

[@bananaspice1967]

Ever since I got explosive rounds I can't stop using it lol

[@chaddrusso8850]

Same it’s absolutely OP and I love it!

[@WolvericCatkin]

That _isn't_ actually the main thing Wide-Angle Lens does, it increases the angle at which you can retain locks _outside of_ the retical. This means you can sweep it over a group of bugs, and turn until they're almost _behind_ you, and still retain your lock...

[@corvax8644]

I just crossed 400 hours in this game and I still only have 1 Loki overclock😭

[@dumbleking5172]

I'm actually impressed at how you managed that. I got all the OC's by 400-450 hours.

[@corvax8644]

@@dumbleking5172 idk I mainly just do the daily bp missions and never the weeklies/deep dives

[@dumbleking5172]

@@corvax8644 At that time, I was rather addicted to the game and did do the DD's and all the event stuff, only missing the Easter event because of how damn bored I was of egg missions. But generally, I just had a lot of missions to do. Weekly, events, sometimes missions just to do the Seasonal tasks, events, promotion missions, and the rare and occasional, modded missions to keep my spirit up. I always had missions to deal with. DD's and EDD's don't have any machine events or some optional stuff.

[@maurice5402]

Love your videos, one tip though that'd make them a lot better imo is if you add timestamps. That way it's easy to come back to them and look at specifc overclocks you talk about.

[@ReapeeRon]

Good idea! I always forget to add those.

[@stys-6042]

thanks ron wanted to give another chance to the lok1 this year but didnt know how to build it

[@SDPhantomGamer]

SMЯT Targeting Software doesn't conserve ammo. If you're not careful with it, it'll burn through your reserves faster than without it. The default behavior of the Lok-1 is it discards all remaining locks when a target dies. What SMЯT Targeting Software does is redistribute these excess locks to other targets in view when it builds enough locks to kill. This can interfere with other modifications and overclocks that trigger when you obtain 3 locks on a target as they do count these excess locks even if they don't fire bullets.

[@sesimie]

favourite gun in the game for me... my first ever Overcloock in DRG was Explosive chem rounds...so yeah I was spoilt! :D

[@temetrex9324]

wow your seeker rounds buil d was pretty nice. never thought of building it like that

[@gijskramer1702]

Smart trigger os and helicopter breach cutter!! Helicopter helicopter! Also hi ron, lets hope i can join again next thursday!

[@yeetman1344]

i think your executioner build is a bit odd since its usually run 11112 for better accuracy and burst on high hp target i can kinda get blow through but i really suggest against zoom lens since the macro lens gives you more range anyway and helps you lock onto your actual target

[@50percentGrey]

Smart Trigger OS does its job of ridding bugs quickly, even if you go with the tier 3 electric damage, but Ghostship Games really ought to increase the Smart Rifle's base ammo count to at least 240, and then the tier 1 ammo mod adding 60, which would make the total possible ammo 300. That's not too much to ask for, is it?

[@XaqNautilus]

Yes it is, because turrets. 😜

[@Cheshire9k]

SMЯT Targeting Software™ is underappreciated, i think its really good on some OCs.

[@danekdzbanekk]

hello reap, Love your videos!!!

Step 1: Executioner Step 2: ??? Step 3: Win mission Step 4: Profit

[@DragonGunzDorian]

Oddly enough. The lok-1 is my favorite primary for the engi in terms of function, however the more i use it, the more im ok with using the other primaries instead. I love this weapon, but its so damn ammo hungry that i tend to do better with the others. On the brightside its helped me to appreciate the warthog and stubby more. I will say i didnt think to use explosive rounds how you suggested. I was wondering how the heck they could be ammo efficient. I onky use them once and still ran out of ammo fast, but i was playing the weapon normally. Ill have to try your method of singling out targets.
