Sludge Pump is what finally got me into playing driller! Its way different from the other primaries and the first one that made it fun to go driller on elimination missions to me

[@Loot_Bugs]

Not sure if you’ve seen it or not, but Siirvend’s other driller video has an elimination build involving the Ice Spear overclock for the cryo cannon. Also very fun, would recommend!

[@CasualEnjoyer701]

I can definitely agree with you there, I liked the original guns of driller but the sludge pump is just so much fun, Arced projectiles in games are always satisfying to use imo

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

Personally, I just cover the terminal in sludge and let the material decide what's best for a mission. It's rather animate.

[@siirvend]

Me and the sludge had a few lengthy discussions over the course of this video. I don't think it likes me.

[@Brass319]

Personally, I just made a build that can do everything at once pretty well then never touched the terminal again

[@siirvend]

Eh, whatever works for you. I'd just get bored with one build for eternity is all.

[@camomoose1078]

2:32 Im convinced that the upper management is full of knive ears. It has to be, dwarves would never allow leaflovers to be sold in their company, let alone mandate its inclusion on every space-rigg. That'd make sense of the tree planting thing as well.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Most creative and at the same time totally viable DRG-content on youtube. Only recently started mining led by Siirvend-Mission-Control. Fantastic work. For some reason I had never tried it thinking that it was only the original lines narrated by you. Man was I wrong. Awesome writing on those and just overall refreshing to have a totally different tone, which still perfectly fits the DRG-athmosphere. Huge Thumbs up. Lovin it. :) Did I mention I use the Bet-C-Voice-Module and your Music-Mod as well? Just great.

[@siirvend]

Wow thanks, that means a lot to me! I'm glad you're enjoying my stuff, Rock and Stone!

[@zombieranger3410]

I quite like to use what I call a “hot garbage” build that relies on the burning ability of the goo, combined with the oc that increases charged shot goo pellets, and the plasma gun’s ability to burn things, you not only slow down and melt away grunts, but on top of that burn them away. Its great to see praetorian’s health fizzle away with 1 or 2 direct attacks, just from being covered in goo, stepping in goo, and being on fire.

[@Brass319]

personally, I stack goo with neurotoxin instead. Also fast at killing praets and I don't even need to worry about placing and lighting a puddle, though only actually somewhat efficient now that wave cooker is released (even then it's still not guaranteed to even get the neurotoxin effect applied in an entire mag dump, which is sad but atleast it doesn't happen too much)

[@wesleyyisme2586]

Also works exceptionally well when paired with Gunner’s incendiary grenade, cover the entire place in goo and toss one out and you’ll have the entire cavern on fire

[@aidankocherhans9861]

Tip for goo bomber: you can shoot a charged shot almost straight up to make all the fragments land on one enemy

[@siirvend]

It's kinda hilarious to watch too

[@montanajackson347]

Don't forget the most effective strategy, which I call the "Gooey Hole" where you drill a long tunnel into a wall and cover it with goo when the bugs try to get to you.

@@lestevegmbh2637 Bunkers arent always a bad thing, though, I will refrain from using one as often as I can. They can save your ass when youre low on ammo or at the bottom of a pit with a grunt wave on its way but it really depends on the situation. The one thing I will say for sure is that its a boring way to play the game if youre using them for every situation but thats more of a playstyle thing than an objective thing.

0:56 "nothing is resistant to its effects" not entirely true guards have a 30% resistance to corrosive damage dreadnought arbalests and lacerators have a 40% resistance OG dreadnoughts and dreadnought hiveguards have a 50% resistance oppressors oddly have the highest resistance, at 66% that being said, it's not too important, as globs of goo shot from the thing only do 25% of their direct damage as corrosive

[@siirvend]

I should have clarified there, I meant the direct impact damage can't be prevented or blocked. Thanks though, I didn't know the varying number on the corrosive.

[@CurlyHairedRogue]

Your butchering of the word “Fluoroantimonic” is inspiring. I always remember it as floro-anti-monic, but that’s just because me da read me the dictionary as a bedtime story when I was a lad. On the subject of the weapon, I absolutely love it for what it brings to the table. I’ve been using it combination with the Blistering Necrosis microwave, in tandem with a direct-hit build for a little extra damage on the side. Helps with the big guys, and doubles down on the gross factor. Infected buboes filled with one of the strongest acid in the known universe is no joke.

I absolutely love Sludge Blast, it just feels right for dreads also it allows my dread killer driller to use unstable OCs for all three main weapons which is really satisfying.

[@cookiemumncher5808]

Fun build: Goo Cannon, T4 Protein Slow Mod + Slow OC, Wave Cooker with Slow Mod + Slow OC, and Neurotoxin Grenade creates a 6x slow effect that makes dreads stop dead. Usually makes randoms laugh when I use it in dread hunts.

[@fbmb1337]

Finally someone that acknowledges the Subata at all. It might not be as good all rounder like the APC but the full auto and explosive overclocks really make up for it. That and hitscans just feel better when you have to play with high ping.

[@siirvend]

Exactly, I've always been a fan of hitscan weapons and the subata is a quintessential hitscan gun. Driller always struggles a bit at range and it gives him an option to be effective without having to use projectiles.

I may have to give the shart another go though... Thanks again for your insights. I am looking forward to your LOK-1 video, as that is currently the one weapon I struggle the most with.

[@MrHarvey1206]

I just promoted my Driller for the very last time to reach Legendary III, and I've used the good'ol Sludge Pump for the past 100-200 hours of that journey. However, what I've learnt using it is how good the Subata is with Explosive Reload and I'm glad you showed it off a bit in the video. I was a Driller who only ever used the EPC from Bronze to Platinum, however, Explosive Reload is so incredibly powerful, esepcaillly combined with a good dot and slowing sludge pump build. I now use the Subata more akin to a primary when I play, running around with that in hand for single targets and using the Sludge Pump for charged shot mahem when things get a bit more bug busy! Just make sure you take all the ammo upgrades you can for it, don't worry about direct damage as the exploding will do all the damage for you :) Sludge Pump is amazing too! Great video as always.

[@carbonwolf6540]

Never knew the puddles were flamable. Cool!

[@eugenekrabs6400]

I’ve been using goo bomber with same upgrades and heavy hitter with t5c. The goo lasts so absurdly long that you can easily make perimeters around the team and light them on fire. With the extra slowdown they’re basically guaranteed to be ignited so any grunt except for guards can’t survive walking into the safe zone, and all you need to do is hit them with a direct shot. If you’re staying put defending something it’s also very ammo efficient on top of letting you basically chill out and only need to hit priority targets until the goo needs to be reapplied.

[@siirvend]

I flip flop between that and Flying Nightmare often. I like nightmare on escort and tend to use the fire puddles on salvage

[@SirLerm]

Almost at 10k, Congrats!

[@siirvend]

And I slept through it! Thanks though!

[@preacherofmusic]

Build 5 sounds exactly like what i want out of my goo gun, a ton of damage and a ton of armor removal. I'll be sure to start saving up to buy out the remaining mods, and I was actually lucky enough to have gotten the sludge shotgun overclock when I got my first ever overclock core (just so happened to be after promoting Driller, whom I main :p)

[@AlmostJordan]

Your dispenser compound and persistent plasma build is exactly what I’ve been running accept I like to use normal shot damage rather than the pools.

[@siirvend]

[@jacobfoxfires9647]

I was honestly very skeptical on how useful and different this weapon would be. But got to say, this weapon has been fun. I had went full area denial on the weapon and that also made it an only charged weapon build. With persistent plasma, disperser compound, and the gas grenades, I’m able to make it so bugs head to a crawl. And since I also bring fire shots as well, if I want a lot of damage I bring up a gas and a bunch of goo puddles and BOOM. The second build also looks interesting since it uses the detonators for Subata. Interesting use of the subata which is nice to see variety in weapons, and uses an overclock I wouldn’t normally use.
