If it's not clear in the final cut-despite some of its mod tiers being lopsided, I really appreciate how all of warthog's OCs are at least reasonably good. The mechanical stuff in the video aside, I'd recommend anyone who uses it to try switching to a different OC than they normally use for a change, you pretty much can't go wrong. And despite how long this took to get out(in my defense, I'm taking computer science classes right now), a whole lot of the struggle was getting this video down to a manageable size. Pretty pleased it wound up under 30 minutes. Other drg test/info videos: kzbin.info/aero/PLqTo6tQ9tCOrABARyls3C94qzGo6TW3h_

[@Daefus]

Maybe it's just me and it's probably worse for view count and such but longer videos=more LazyMaybe, which would make me even happier. The video was amazing, thanks for the content and I'll happily wait the next video, no matter how long it'll take.

[@janbosch5951]

​@@rustycrowbar4250 Please, go to 1:59. If you need three warthog shots to kill a grunt, most likely that's a problem of the wielder, not the gun. I often need two mind you, my aim is not great, but one-shots are VERY much possible. Including on hazard level 5, with 3 others in the lobby.

[@towndrunk23]

Fun trick with turret whip - Place your gemini turrets close together and shoot between them. Given only one pellet is needed to activate the empowered shot, you can have them both shoot, simplifying the cooldown, saving shotgun ammo, and increasing DPS.

[@metal7core]

I will try it, thanks for the tip 🤙

[@bravoxray]

Note that this can sometimes be overkill and end up wasting ammo. If both turrets are aiming at weaker targets that would normally die to a single whip shot, then the second one gets no value. But when dealing with higher hazards, this is pretty rare, as guards and praetorians are very common

[@burgeal]

I prefer to sequence them to really lock down a choke. But I also tend to run mini-shells if I am to abuse turret whip.

[@KujiArgisia]

[@marah4847]

seeing you take the time to calc armor break chance per pellet per each successive punchthrough has now allowed me to understand why you take months to make these

[@LeonBelmont1000]

The armor break chance for pellets feels like a build a bullet adventure.

[@juliangabriel]

The shot at 27:24 is just so goddamn satisfying -- showing off the oneshot capabilities on the first two grunts and then the stun on the third, timed with the voiceover, all in one shot. That's some good editing right there.

[@rightious4u2]

I just thought of something you could do to buff the Miner Adjustments mod that doesn't step on the toes of any of the other mods. Give it spread negation when engie moves like Gunner's Deadeye mod for the Bulldog. It would encourage a run and gun engie playstyle who has already taken accuracy mods/OC's.

[@chastermief839]

Every time i watch one of your videos i learn that one of the mods i've been running for the past 100hrs has actually been hurting more than it's helping. i go tweak my build and find the game even more enjoyable. thanks for the great content!

[@dabundis]

Magnetic pellet alignment is one of my favorite OCs. It fits really well into a "set up a shooting gallery" sort of game plan

[@ultimortalmoth7212]

Deep Rock Galactic is a special game and this is a special channel. It's always a ton of fun to learn more about this game from you.

[@warmechanic8186]

Turret whip ammo consumption is fixed, so if you run Gemini turrets (even if you use a single turret) you can be more ammo efficient since each turret whip consumes a lower % of your total ammo.

[@kant1425]

I was just talking about engineer's primaries today, and I have to say they're all decent, but Warthog is the daily bread that gets it's job done. It's just weird that most engie's secondaries are so much stronger than the primaries, usually it's the other way around.

[@OpiatesEnjoyer1984]

Well, as lazy said, engie primaries are more like self-defence weapons while his secindaries are the actual damage dealers. Makes sense for me

[@papahemmy8587]

I would like you to know how much I appreciate these videos, going all in depth for such detail pleases my autism very much. The effort you put into them; testing, field-testing, recording, formatting, editing, everything, it’s all worth it, especially from a guy who undoubtedly knows what he’s talking about with a soothing voice. love the videos, oh so so much, keep it up :))

I very much enjoy these vids aesthetically for your voice and how you present them visually. My obvious reason for watching is the math, experimentation, and general feeling of being taught something useful. It's a nostalgic feeling of being back in college taking a course with a teacher I enjoy who lectures on a subject I find interesting. Very well done! Given the chance, I'd gratefully watch a 2-part episode for these if you decided to break them down into a short, nitty gritty personal preference vid with a quick why you enjoy them (~5-10 min vid) followed by a much longer one with these explanations on calcs and suggestions of possible builds (based on what is best viable for Haz 5, or for fun, ect).

[@Kassul42]

Wooohooo!!! More LazyMaybe content. Today is the best day. No real shocks to my system like I've had in some of your other breakdown videos, but some good info and inspiration to try and use the shotgun more. I'm one of those filthy dwarves that takes turret whip because I know it's super strong, and then only remembers during evac that he can whip his turrets. Gotta get better at that, and using warthog more often rather than the other primaries is the prescription. Thanks for this series, and know that the whole DRG community appreciates your insight and humour!

[@eLemonnader]

This is, by and large, the absolute best DRG content on KZbin. Your break-downs remind of Spirit of the Law's AoE 2 mechanics videos: thorough, comprehensive, and test how things actually function in a real game.

[@Lyrune]

I'm a little bit surprised by the fact that you didn't mention the synergy between the Stunner OC and Turret Whip's guaranteed stun. In fact, that's the main reason why I don't take defender system on my turrets, since the extra damage on my shotgun means that it feels like (will probably have to go and run some number tests) I consume a similar amount of turret ammo killing praetorians. If anything, it's usually less, since I often only need 2 turret whip shots along with ~a little bit less than a mag of warthog ammo. I understand that's actually less ammo efficient in the long run, since defender system giving increased damage doesn't hurt those situations. Not to mention that warthog ammo is more valuable than turret ammo, generally speaking. But I still run it because of it's higher time to kill for praetorians and how defender system really limits where I can position my turrets. Although I do admit the longer range can sometimes be a deficit to my ammo econ, I usually take the ammo upgrade for turrets so that doesn't really matter. I've honestly considered running no T4 on turrets to prevent those long range turret whip situations, I end up keeping it just so I can redirect my turret away from those situations and hope my team understands why I'm pinging the random grunt on the ground for 0.5 seconds before I obliterate it with my turret whip. Although I will admit, I'll probably try out magnetic turret alignment after this video! I didn't realize that it allows you to one shot slashers! It's ability to do that as well as one shot mactera grunts along with it's accuracy allowing it to more consistently two shot spitters on the ceiling almost makes you into a mini scout. Which is funny, because I exclusively run RJ250 Compound for my Engineer secondary.

Man your videos are the best. I've been trying mini shells and watching your gameplay has me ready for magnetic alignment. It's hard to tell the difference in the midst of haz 5 but seeing the videos back to back is so clear that it's just not working for me due to the two shot minimum.
