[@B_Skizzle]

The Drak is such a fun weapon... now if only R&D would stop replacing it with progressively crappier versions. For real though, they seriously need to stop it with the constant nerfs. If the GK2 being underpowered is the problem then maybe they could, oh, I don’t know, _buff the GK2?_

[@siirvend]

I feel the sentiment there, they kept changing it in the middle of me making this video and I had to revise things after Season 2 dropped. I will say, the changes do look like a nerf but in practice have affected these builds very little, what youre seeing here is up to date too. There seems to be a trend of moving power to and from the mods/OCs and base guns. I think its to make build decisions feel more impactful. Impact Deflection getting set to a balanced overclock was a small nerf but it still does the same job and with barely any noticeable change. It was pumping out CRAZY damage before and a while back when it bounced twice it was ludicrous. I understand toning down. Also, in exchange for that, Aggressive Venting is crazy good as a clean OC now, so good its kind of crazy its got no downsides.

[@B_Skizzle]

@@siirvend Hmm, yeah, I suppose that’s a good way to look at it. I guess it's just frustrating to see a weapon go through so many consecutive rebalancing passes. I mean, just look at the Corrosive Sludge Pump. It got a bunch of changes when S2 rolled out just like the DRAK, but in the Sludge Pump's case it was done all at once. It felt like GSG had a strong sense of what they wanted the weapon to be. With the DRAK, they seem less sure.

[@noesepulveda5789]

I've personally found some success pairing a Bouncing Projectiles Drak with the Boltshark. Pheromone bolts rapidly group up swarms around resilient targets, such as guards and Praetorians. Additionally, it covers single target damage against Mactera creatures with the regular bolt, compensating for the Drak's comparatively lower damage per shot (not counting the bounce)

[@siirvend]

I can't wait to talk about the boltshark in relation later! I refrained from these since I had builds already made out but it compliments some of my previous builds so well

[@JackofNothingess]

The other day I had paired Aggressive Venting with Cryo Bolt / Pheromone Bolt on the BS. With just that loadout, I can consistently activate Fire, Fear, Cryo, Electrical, and Pheromone. Who would have thought the scout to being the ultimate support class all of a sudden?! Thank you R&D!

So, after watching your video, I realized I had totally neglected to test Aggressive Venting OC for the DRAK25. It actually works great with the cryo mine-lets OC on the NUK17. I also have tried it with Cryo Bolts (And Pheromone Bolts) on the Bolt Shark, and it isn’t bad either, as the BS T5 Magnetic Shafts mod gives it extra damage, as well as good crowd control. Thanks again Siirvend! Looking forward to seeing more fun stuff from you soon!

[@Crabmaster4774]

I always loved the impact deflection mod for just bouncing bullets under grunts and hitting some larger enemies twice. Shooting spitballers at the top of their center weakpoint hits them again on their chin(?), shooting trijaws right under their jaws will hit them twice, and shooting the legs on praetorians can be used to hit them in the face or abdomen. Hitting prae's twice is more difficult but can be controlled much easier while they are spitting. It's so satisfying to hit these specific points and watch the health bars melt at double the speed.

[@siirvend]

Impact Delfection is so satisfying to use, I totally get you. I remember when it used to bounce twice and could kill praetorians in seconds, those were good days.

I feel almost like a miniature driller with this loadout.

"While seeming underwhelming and cheap at first glance, I can assure you that the DRAK is only the latter of those"

[@librus107]

Credit where it's due: for a cheap piece of backordered, repurposed plasma tech, they've really come through with some clever ideas to make it work. Routing the heatsink into your boots? Connecting the battery to your shield capacitor? As a tried-and-true Engi, I'm impressed of how much this contraption is a cleverly designed blessing in disguise. And all that tendency to disintegrate feels right in the energy-drink laden, adrenaline junkie hands of the Scout. And besides - burnt plastic is certainly a better stench than molten bug innards. That stuff is *ripe.* ... I wonder if they'd ever modify these things to work as makeshift grenades. Like... another certain, unique, economy-driven guns manufacturer. Imagine hurling one of these into a horde of bugs as it begins to finally kick the proverbial bucket. Plooie! Maybe strip down some parts so they'd fit into a grenade belt, and I swear this'd work. I mean, I hear the Gunner is basically getting a throwable LMG Turret Platform... throwable munitions just might be the future! (Unlike all that crypto business I keep getting mail about...) (Love the personality and little "lore" tidbits you put into these. It really makes these fun to watch, and is a lot more engaging than hearing someone drone on and on like a maths professor. I can see why these take so long, and honestly, they're well worth the wait each time! ... Even if I forget to check up on them after half a year or so. Whoops. Anyhow - well done on these!)

[@siirvend]

Honestly Aggressive Venting is alllllllmost there with the whole gun-to-grenade thing but by some Miracle, Deepcore manages to make these things work for a minimum of two hours of prolonged use, which is a modern marvel in and of itself! (Thanks! I take forever but the last thing I wanna do is drop the quality, it means a lot you and others appreciate it! Though I'm slowly figuring out how to speed things up a bit)

Small mistake I noticed: at 3:58, the video showed the mod config 3,2,3,3,1. However, you stated that the mod config was 1,2,3,3,1. (I think this is the mod config you meant since the faster fire rate will help you reach overheat quicker)

[@siirvend]

Yeah I saw that and facepalmed. Good things is that either mod in tier 1 works so it's not a huge deal. I'll be correcting that in a future video for sure

[@bogdanyuriev1507]

This video was a long time coming, it seems - the lack of complimentary Crossbow secondaries is acute. I've seen people pointing out down below how priceless Pheromone bolts are for both Bouncy and Venting Drak builds, and I must point out myself that Rewiring Drak is the only gun that I can reasonably pair with Trifork Valley X-80. Keep swarms at bay with long bursts and delet everything that stands afterwards. The main question I have, though, is about Shield Battery Booster. I've been using it for quite a while and noticed that the amount of time Manual Heat Dump shaves off your shield recharge delay is different at times. Sometimes it behaves just as That Goddamn Scout™ advertised: shield recharge begins immediately after DRAK cools down, and sometimes it...doesn't. It takes a few seconds still to begin, just like in the clip you used to showcase the mechanic in this very video. Do you have any info on why is that so? I've seen several claims that it's a bug and LazyMaybe is far too busy to confirm or deny that.

[@siirvend]

I have no idea about the SBB inconsistencies to he honest. I've successfully reduced my recharge times enough to want to use manual health dump but occasionally it janks out and gives me 9 seconds instead. I know taking damage at any point does reset it so I avoid that but my only best guess is that there's some timing things going on with the shield and overheat where it might apply the cool down and shield damage at different times, sometimes overlapping favorably and other times not. As for the crossbow, I do plan to give it the attention I deserves but as it's own video rather than squeezed into this one. I do take my time with build videos, but this is because things change a lot after weapon changes qnd it also takes me a bit to find what I prefer to bring with me on missions. Every one of these builds are the ones I use frequently so I'm confident in showing them off because it's what I found feels good/works. I'm juuust about there with the boltshark too.

OPA has better per shot damage but worse accuracy so it's more for close range fighting. It's much better for dreadnoughts since you're likely taking damage and in the things face.

You beautiful dwarv !

[@SrKing-dm4ku]

Here to algo boost, ROCK AND STONE, and how to roll this gun, will edit when I finish Edit: just realized how much effort goes into one of these when I saw none of your builds used the crossbow, because it wasn’t in game yet! I feel that DRAK OC with short range and wide spread would pair nicely with it, both extending effective range and allowing for either explosive or pheromone darts for AOE cleanup. Besides that, I feel the secondaries you chose are likely still best in many cases?

[@siirvend]

I wouldnt say my choices of secondary are best in all cases, though each of these are strong contenders even with the new angles the boltshark has on fights. The future builds will include the boltshark in some straight up improvements on older builds and some brand new ones utilizing it and a primary made to support it (i.e. electric reload on gk2) The short range high damage DRAK you mentioned (preferably with OPA OC) pairs so well with the bolshark, I can't wait to talk about it

What promotion rank is that scout? Don’t recognize the border

[@siirvend]

Oh thats legendary 3, I just use a mod that makes the promotions have vaporwave colors. You can find it in the description

[@vasilemariana1857]

can you make a hurricane build vid thanks, ROCK AND STONE

[@siirvend]

On it now actually

[@tychoplaysiogames7141]

I dont even use the drak and am not going to either. But i still love your videos because you are just so in character. "Wait, whats reddit?". Amazing lmao. Btw are you still gonna do that glyphid biology video? Just curious

[@siirvend]

That's the plan, I wanna do it once I'm done with weapons, grenades and missions which can hopefully be faster now that I've got a bit more time to work on them. Also glad you like it!

[@tychoplaysiogames7141]

@@siirvend Im really into the lore of the game so if i could help with that in any way i gladly will. Either by looking trough the wiki or just giving personal ideas or speculation. Its gonna be a while till that video comes out considering what your current planning so i got plenty of time to at least do something

[@tulisotilas]

Holy. I forgot that people actually use UI in this game. Uh. HP bars what are those?

[@greyfalconow9467]

So does this video cover the mod io Weapon Heat Crosshair mod?

[@siirvend]

Wait, did I have that on in one of the clips? I do use that, it helps quite a bit in timing overheats. I just turn it off for recording in case it's ever not available

[@greyfalconow9467]

@@siirvend Nope it's just really nice. That said ended up getting a to a build I like OPA 21112, Cryo 13112, Zip 1113, CryoNade, Vampire, Thorn, Born Ready, Iron Will, Field Medic The trick was focusing on using Freezes to stretch the ammo pool of an OPA Drak.

[@anonomusperson]

the gas recycleing should give a 500% damage vs armor

[@wolfschadow6399]

Its a bit sad to see no example of the crossbow in this video. I'd say it pairs well as a long range option for the unstable overclock build.

[@siirvend]

Actually wrote this script before the boltshark came out, but it's getting its own dedicated video since it works with so many combinations of primaries

[@thedbdentity2102]

Do you know all of this bug exterminating is making me wonder what the tamed bugs think mentioning that are you gonna do a informational video on that?

[@siirvend]

I'm not sure tamed glyphids even know what's going on, they're just following pheromones at the end of the day.

[@thedbdentity2102]

@@siirvend but why wood Thay change sides?

[@siirvend]

Id assume it works the same way the pheromone grenades work, using olfactory signals to confuse the bug into seeing you as something it needs to follow/protect. Invertebrates like Glyphids really have no use for concepts like allegiance, they simply follow the rest of the hive through chemical signals like how ants and bees do here.

@@siirvend but then where is the Fairmont producer because I’m pretty sure it would wear off after a minute or two as you see with the fan on grenade
