[@Nightflyermike]

It should be noted that hoverclock is amazing at countering fall damage, which is usually a huge damage source for scout, making it extremely useful on high hazards.

[@tfthief4931]

Thing to note tho, even somewhat experienced scouts don't care about fall damage because they'll never be in a position where it's a danger. I main engineer and driller and only have a single promotion star on my Scout. I don't have all that many hours on the game, yet I can't remember the last time I had a fall accident with scout that was a result of me being a bad player. It's a nice QOL thing, but is largely unimportant with even a moderate amount of player skill

8:50 I love how you kiiiiiinda predicted the marked for death overclock since your focused shits allows your normal shots to deal much more damage.

[@DanQZ]

What's crazy about electrocuting focus shots is that the electrocution lasts 6s, 5 ticks per second, 4.5 damage per tick, which equals 135 damage. You're trading approximately 15 physical damage for up to 135 damage. You're still doing more total damage as long as you wait about 1 second between each shot since that already does 22.5 damage.

[@pokelordomega1701]

when I picked up this game, I ended up going directly to the scout, and honestly after playing through my first promotion I feel like the m1000 and the tracer guns as the secondary is my favorite weapon dynamic (although ironically I find myself using said secondary more often than the primary since I end up using the m1000 for big single target damage and the tracer guns for swarm control lmao)

I pretty much play strictly scout, and I play like im on some sort of stimulants at all times. The m1000 is my go-to weapon, with special powder on the shorty. This weapon is a masterclass in good gameplay, and the ping is in fact heavenly!

[@qbcomicaddict2590]

Classic loadout. Hipster + Special Powder is a great blitz scout build. One of my 6 slots for Scout has that loadout, I just wish I had more ammo in the clip (been meaning to play around with the upgrades a bit to see if I can optimize it but if it shares a tier with one of the extra ammo mods, I don't know if I'll swap it. Speed reload on the other hand...)

[@abilawaandamari8366]

I bet you're just spazzing out on rich atmosphere missions

[@gentlehoovy5555]

You forgot to mention the most important part of hoverclock: It negates fall damage. A lot of the m1000 overclocks are good but hoverclock m1k is the only build I use when I play 6x2, because of how ridiculous your mobility options become.

[@deliqene3191]

I think u did ASS a little dirty. It doesn't really push you to use focus shots more like super cooling chamber does, it makes focus shots a more safe and faster process, and the one downside can be negated easily by reload cancel. It can basically be built how the player sees fit

[@CowKirbo]

Yeah it doesn't necessarily encourage using focus for everything at all.

[@jonathannash8471]

It used to be considered the best M1K OC for generally supporting a team. Buffs to other stuff changes that, but it's still very solid.

[@Farcorporate]

Honestly ASS is pretty good for aiming aswell, sometimes a creature goes a bit too fast for the focus aiming so you just move, incredibly useful for that

[@floridamangaming2453]

I want an oc for the m1000 that switches the use cases of the normal and charge shot. Normal shots have low rate of fire, but hit really hard, and charging shots instead prepares multiple rounds that all vomit out in quick succession and wide spread, with explosions too because why not

[@oldmanwolffe5248]

No, all direct damage weapons have a weakpoint damage increase, the increases that you get on top of that are in addition to that default value.

[@MuTHa_BLeePuH]

Honestly after the rework of gk2 and its overclocks as well I think that gk2 is actually the best target priority weapon in his arsenal just from the extreme burst damage it can have it with bullets of mercy OC which makes it super nice and shredding any super big target especially bulk detonators and oppressors with ifgs or if you want a super easy across cave kills AI Stability Engine is comfy for a lot of players but personally I just spray at range with gk2 with BoM and i pair it with cryo/phero bolts crossbow with ifgs to just play extreme utility, support, and priority target focus for the team

[@whatwhat7119]

The m1000 is the best hands down but ai on the gk is good enough to hang, just like that AOE on overheat one on the plasma carbine. The fact that you can one hit grunts and webspitters alone make it the best. You need to be at the right angle for everything when using AI GK. Without that you're doing significantly less damage.

I agree that the gk2 is better, not sure about BoM being good though. I guess since you're building around it it gets better, but I never got into that

[@balltickler-hm5mo]

Hoverclock is only supposed to work with focus shots but if you're not the host then it will cause a bug that makes it so it works with normal shots. I think this is because when a player clicks because of ping and stuff the game thinks it's starting a focus shot causing the hoverclock effect to happen without actually using a focus shot and instead firing off a normal shot.

[@chapter_brother5437]

[@_Abgehoben]

Blud 38 damage normal shot with hipster or the damage overclock for the M1000 with a focused shot that deals over 250 damage is huge

[@Makskori]

Electrocuting focus shots overall increase your focus shot damage because of the shock damage, allowing you to hit some unexpected breakpoints while being able to take ammo in tier 1. Best overclock imo aside from hipster. also the slowdown is really strong on shock, making some tanky enemies like bulks a breeze to deal with

[@Makskori]

PS: supercooling is still ass, even against dreads and industrial

[@countsudoku6305]

best part about this gun is fact its amazing even with no overclocks. there is quite a lot of weapons in drg that needs overclock to be usable otherwise are pretty much trash (for example, subata, stubby, dual pistols, etc...). sadly overclocks themselves are rather meh, most interesting being hoverclock or hipster.

Supercooling is still just outmatched by the Hipster. You can spam the Hipster and it will probably do somewhat similar or even better DPS than the Supercooling without requiring much precision. There's also the fact that the Hipster is more flexible, allowing you to take on waves of enemies and still do good damage against bigger enemies. They should just remove the max ammo reduction penalty because the other penalties are harsh enough.

[@МихаилАлексеев-ш4т]

Yeah, SCC is quite goofy in its current state but I still love how it gives m1000 some new funny breakpoints. For instance full-damage SCC can one-focus-shot a warden and a goo-bomber if it hits their weakpoints. As well as almost one-focus-head-shot patrol bots on sabotage so that they can be finished off extremely quickly. That makes 21123 SCC and blowthrough gas recycling zhukovs my go-to build against caretaker

Electrocuting Focus Shots will do more damage overall if you let the DoT tick down. Obviously it's not as good on enemies with shock resistance like Oppressors, but against medium-sized bugs like Slashers & Guards you can kill them with a charged bodyshot much more reliably if you wait out the AoE. Electric Focus also works very well with the Zhukovs with Conductive Bullets. If you grab Hollow-Point Bullets on the Zhukovs as well as Hitting Where it Hurts (stun Focus Shots) on the M1000 you can stun a Pretorian and then blast it to bits with the Zhukovs. It's my go-to loadout if I ever load onto a Fester Flea mission (since it's easy to kill fleas with focus shots.)

[@PatrickGaul-yg1mv]

The closest thing you can get in DRG to a 50 caliber sniper rifle is hyper propellant, which is effectively a high explosive 50 cal. With a very small explosion, but insane direct damage.

[@talscorner3696]

I just unlocked the M100 on my Scout and I'm really confused by it. I can't tell if the "zero" is off (because shots that would be hits with the GK instead just *aren't* ), I'm tired so my aim is worse or what: the feeling I get is that I can't get it to do as much raw damage as the Gk.

[@TheSpeep]

I hated the M1000 when I first tried it, now its a strong competitor for my favourite gun in the game. The reason why I hated it, and I think I might not be alone in this, is because I went into it with a poor understanding of what kind of weapon it actually was, so it failed to hit my expectations, because my expectations were wrong. The M1000 looks a lot like the game's sniper rifle, but it isnt, not unless you specifically build it to be. I think if youre only using the M1000 with either hipfire or charged shots, like I first did, youre using the weapon wrong. Even with builds centered specifically on one of the two, you want to be using both. I also dont think the main use for Hoverclock is to use the bullet time for mid air sniping, its to augment the aerial mobility your other tools give you, like by mitigating fall damage.

[@Jorvalt]

A few points: No one says the m1000 classic is the worst weapon in the game. That's not a thing, at all. I don't know where you got that from. Hoverclock - This is absolutely high haz viable. It actually is incredibly useful for juking enemies and saving yourself from falls. It's also just kinda better mobility than Active Stability System once you know how to use your movement tools. The M1000 classic really doesn't even need a boost to be good, and it shows with this overclock. Active Stability System - Don't use expanded ammo bags. Ever. You said this encourages you to use focus shots for swarms - don't. If you're shooting basic grunts, use unfocused shots. They always die in one weakpoint hit, or if you miss, two hits. Same ammo cost if you're bad at aiming, but with a chance to cost less. Hipster - This overclock is not good. Don't use it. It's trading the M1K's entire niche for effectively what the GK2 already does. You're actually going to likely be better off using the GK2 with AI Stability Engine because you aren't going to be missing half of your shots through spamming because of the ungodly recoil. Electrocuting Focus Shots - This overclock is also not very good in a general sense. It does theoretically do more damage, but most of its damage is over time. Also, some enemies are immune to the electrocution status which would make it a straight downgrade. One instance I've found where it's actually quite useful is Industrial Sabotage missions. It hits pretty important break points on Rival Tech enemies that greatly increases your weapon's ammo economy on those missions. Supercooling Chamber - This overclock is terrible. Don't use it. Its one upside does not balance out its three massive downsides. Basically the one thing it's okay at is Elimination, but you're gonna be gimping yourself on every other enemy in the mission because your ammo economy will be terrible while also shooting slower and leaving you more vulnerable.
