[@burnheart2965]

PLasma carbine's rewiring mod cuts ammo because it would otherwise have a very big ammo pool. I already tested this. If you start with 630 ammo and shoot till overheat (around 585 ammo) it will regenerate to 616 ammo. This means you shot around 45 bullets at the cost of 14 bullets. So that is around a 280% increase in ammo, leaving you with 1770 bullets. So please don't write the ammo increase off as insignificant. It really isn't.

[@Ozymandias2x]

Seconded. The ammo increase is so immense. It makes it great for large groups or big bois.

[@EdibleFuture]

i believe they are gonna buff the base weapon at some point as well to make it worthwhile in comparison to the classic

[@InheritingNightmaresDev]

I LOVE THIS MOD. I never leave home without it. It's SO good. Especially on deep dives. The amount of ammo you get saves so much nitra. Your secondary is gonna run out of ammo quickly but your primary is gonna pack a punch. Grab hot feet and you will be always on the move and having so much ammo. Absolutely underrated overclock as its so disgustingly good and fun.

[@memes_the_dna_of_the_soul5487]

In fact, i think Sirvend did a build, so efficient that it basically allowed you to skip out on ammo supply drops. With the Boltshark and Boomerangs, it could be even more so.

[@memes_the_dna_of_the_soul5487]

However, you have overheat it every time you start firing to make sure you get ammo returned. And it has an interesting reaction on the manual heat dump mod.

The Drak's bouncy ball overclock can be bounced under enemies, making it much better with a potentially high skill ceiling.

[@Alienoiable]

- Bouncy plasma with plasma splash is a direct 30% increase in damage : just aim at the glyphid's feet - Rewiring is a 80% ammo regeneration after you overheat (and the longer the overheat, the better) that gives you ammo economy similar to the minigun. Don't know what you need for stuff to not be "underwhelming". It might not be flashy but those OC are VERY good.

[@RandizzleTV]

@@Alienoiable I did try it I think it's fun to use but it's not as good as the m1000 I wrote a paragraph in the other reply lmao

[@burnheart2965]

Plasma Carbine bouncy bullets OC, when shot into a horde, have a good chance of DOUBLING your dps and applying electricity debuff to multiple targets, you underestimate how easy it becomes to control hordes by electrifying them all. Combined with the cryo minelets zhukovs you can quickly delete many frozen targets created by the minelets, something the m1000 can only do in lineups (not shooting from the air or unfavourable positions etc).

[@xeron_7433]

Personally I'm split between the LOK-1 and the Hurricane being my favorites, but all these weapons are slam dunks in my opinion. Great video as always!

[@miamesa8652]

The thing I really enjoy with the plasma rifle is how free you are, combined with the shotgun's auto reload when unequipped, you can pretty much always deal damage, swapping between a decent sustained single target, to a really powerfull aoe burst, it feels cool to use!

[@Jojo46548]

I love the plasma crabine the most out of them all. pair the plasma splash for aoe with lots of fire rate and the bouncy oc and you got yourself a ton of firepower on the scout. because when you shoot slightly under the enemy or in crouds the bouncy projectily triggers the aoe damage, so you effectively at least double the damage. pair that with hot feet, for movement speed when overheat and speed boost on magdump with the zukovs and you'll be zooming around like no tomorrow plasma carbine 5/5 in my book but yeah the other oc's are not so great or at least cant reach bouncy oc with plasma aoe.

[@BazilRat]

Learning to use the Hurricane and guide the missiles is a lot of fun. And it's very satisfying to launch a salvo off into the void and then pull them onto the back of the Oppressor in front of you.

[@griffin6539]

The Drak25 has a overclock not in the video that is basically the aggressive venting from the minigun which is REALLY good considering it can give you some breathing room on command due to the AoE fear effect of aggressive venting .

[@itwas467]

I found aggressive vending the most useful OC for plasma carbine. It gives scout one thing its missing, the horde capability without dumping entire ammo/resource pool. It takes exactly 3 seconds to get the burst so it's very easy and incredibly ammo efficient to use. Not something that'll help with dread, but it makes scout more versatile in any horde fight.

[@roguereaver634]

The only problem I've found with it is the place you want to vent is exactly the place the Engineer is about to lob a Fat Boy

[@burnheart2965]

Really? I tried it and the range is extremely lacking. If you are overrun you won't hit the grunts behind the ones facing you. Aggressive venting from the gunner has muccccch more range

[@itwas467]

@@burnheart2965 I'm not sure why you think comparing his kit to different miner is an appropriate measuring stick, but to each his own I guess. The range is more than enough for me since in haz 5, you simply cannot afford to thin the constant horde as scout with other weapons or OCs. This setup is the answer to holdouts, swarmers, neodocyte shockers, shredders, and grunts (in tight area) with minimal ammo eco invested.

It has probably been said already, but the salvo overclock for the Hurricane DOES allow you to shoot guided rockets if you tap it.

[@r4yker442]

From my experience on high haz lok-1 is nearly mandatory for new mission - turrwts that 1-shot you after 3 seconds of aiming, flying enemies, stabby-stab arms and with lok-1 you can safely kill turrets from around a corner and arc around bosses shield

[@TheAnnoyingF2P]

They really hit it out of the park with these. They went all in on unorthodox concepts that you wouldn't think of at first glance, and they all work pretty well. When I got the Hurricane with the salvo mod, I knew I had found the ultimate big boi killer. The rockets can continue to be guided, just not when firing in a salvo. Firing two or three at once is great crowd control, and when loading up a salvo, you can easily drop Praetorians. Works well against Korloks and Dreadnaughts as well, maximizing damage in a limited window.

[@MedicMainDave]

[@fonesrphunny7242]

8:45 Put missiles on an intercept course, release the trigger and you can immediately look for new targets or dodge incoming attacks. Not a terrible idea, but it might work better as a regular upgrade as there are better OCs available.

[@jacobnorris8256]

The projectiles should probably be made a lot faster. It's really hard to be sure that your long distance shots are actually going to hit, so it's not very effective to turn away from enemies like that. It only gives like a 33% speed bonus. It should probably be like +100%, but only apply when you let go of the button.

[@exzenosisharbingaar9000]

The sludge pump reminds me of the GES Bio-Rifle from the Unreal Series. I'd argue it may be the inspiration, the base primary fire shoots 'Green Explosive Shit' (also called Sludge here and there) that functions as live landmines. The alternate fire charges as a big blob and once it lands, smaller blobs similar to the primary fire disperse around a big one. The weapon is arguably out there in uniqueness, and I can see it here in the sludge pump.

[@TheFelmaster]

That was my first thought when I saw the sludge pump firing big blobs of goo :)

[@FandangoJon]

I was trying to figure out what it was reminding me of... and that was it! If love to see their take on Unreal's Flak Gun. Would be neat to see Driller with something like that!
