I break it down by roles.What do I want this weapon to be for? Crowd control? Single target annihilation? Support? And then I go from there and tweak as I try it.

For example, I like to use the flamethrower when I’m playing with friends and we have to deal with big waves of fodder. To make it really good at that, I go for Sticky Flames so I can make barriers; I also maximize ammo capacity because I know I’m gonna be shooting this a lot, often preemptively, and high damage will be wasted on grunts anyway.

(granted, I would imagine that this is probably a common build for this weapon, but the logic still stands)

also, don’t be afraid to try the more quirky overclocks and try to make them work! IMO this helps with the creativity part

laughing in scout

a fraction of our powder

Sweet, thanks!

That’s a neat reticle. What weapon skin is this?

Not sure what I’m supposed to judge here. Is it the crossed pipelines?

Pick Up Group. It comes from older MMOs, and it means any group that you randomly found in the game, as opposed to a friend that you had partied with beforehand.

A more modern word would be a rando

For driller: Sticky flames for sure, especially on swarmaggedon warnings

Unstable Containment Field is fun too, though hard to master

Also the shotgun effect on the goo cannon. Helps a lot with range.

For scout: Focused shot, even though it’s dangerous on higher haz

The no recoil one on the submachine gun

And yeah Special Powder of course

I like them! They’re a nice change of pace. Plus, it’s probably a good way to get some early training for Rogue Core.

Honestly, even the Stalker is pretty cool; it’s very satisfying to ping.

The one I hate is the sceptic spreader. This one is so dangerous.

If you want a fun rabbit hole to fall into, look up the Hollywood side of this

Like for example how we have to use tiger sounds for lion roars now because it was used once for effect and it worked really well but now people expect that sound out of a lion.

Somewhere in the 40s iirc. I could probably go higher but I get bored pretty quickly 🤷‍♀️

I do love the music though. Makes me wish there was a 2D spinoff of DRG, maybe in a Metal Slug kind of way. That would be sick.

Very interesting dimensions on that thing

Man, forget about culture, this thing’s got a straight up society in there.

I think it’s just some lucky rolls. Personally I only got 1 this season so far.

I did get 2 dreadnought back to back though, so I know how you feel.

The new ommoran phase is as follow:

The stone will target a random dwarf and encase them in a prison if they’re standing still, reducing the team’s dps for a bit. It also does heavy damage to the drilldozer if the dwarf is standing on it when it happens. This is to discourage camping on the drilldozer.

That’s all there is to it.

I like it, especially the season selector.

I only have one gripe with the Deep Scan mission, and that’s no fault of the game, but because I’m constantly looking straight up during the drillevator phase, I end up subconsciously slightly looking up IRL, and I have quite the crick in my neck now lmao.

Actual source for the picture

I’d say that’s a lot of citrus for such small slices, but with that amount of pith it balances out.

I haven’t noticed any difference, but granted, I do use the cryo cannon less often.

That said, I did notice in the changelog a lot of damage type adjustments (though mostly for poison), so maybe there’s that too.

Oh so that’s where gaggle comes from as a demonym.

The only place I’d seen it used so far was about a group of kids from Whoville in a Tony the tiger X Grinch fanfic (very good fic BTW, highly recommend). Now that makes more sense.
