Any fun Driller builds?

[Sally the Wendigo]

Not "best builds" or "the most used builds", I want to hear something interesting and never tried before, it doesn't have to be actually good or practical.

For example, found really fun build by complete accident:
SP (GS OC)
EPC (Puncher OC) (also BN as lv5, not CF)
Neurotoxin Grenade.

Completed a few solo haz 4 missions with this, and it's surprisingly efficient, and very fun too.

But yeah, just tell me about some fun builds you know / use.

Flame thrower with the extended reach OC and all heat + reach upgrades
Wave cooker with Diffusion ray OC, overdrive and exothermic upgrade
Your choice of grenade

Set the entire swarm on fire from the other side of the cave and vaporize them with the wave cooker, kills praets and oppressors just as fast. Can't have engi racking up all the kills now can we? Does nothing against dreads so don't bother trying

[Chibbity]

Snowball is pretty fun since it was buffed.

[Vinegaroon]

Cryo Vampire.

The goal is to focus on melee and drilling foes. You freeze them then drill them. The vampire perk refills your health. It's strong against swarms of grunts and you can fight Praetorian, oppressors, and Wardens easy. Forget Dreadnoughts and bots, this is not where this build shines. You also have to balance drilling with killing if you use the drills as a weapon you will run out of ammo.

The Build:
Main: Cryonator. (I run mine for spin up, ammo, then coolant)
Secondary: Whatever floats your boat.
Nade: Impact axes

Drills: I used barbed drills in the first.

For Perks I run:
Elemental Insulation
Thorns
Vampire
Berserk
See you in Hell

I realize this has been done before, but it sure is fun deleting swarms of frozen enemies,

comboing the wave cooker with the primaries is pretty fun imo

[Rayalot72]

Big fan of the DoT+slow stacker build.

Sludge Pump: Take puddle mods, the duration mod, and the slow mod w/ Disperser Compound.

CWC: Take ammo, slow on T3, and Neuro on T5 w/ Gamma Contamination.

You have access to a ton of status effects that all combo fairly well, and you get the take advantage of a lot of the redundancy that otherwise exists with the sludge pump.

If uncorroded enemies enter puddles, cooker helps keep them there with extra slows, and even guards will very quickly die to a mix of neuro and radiation chip.

If you encounter larger targets, you can keep them away from you by locking them in place, outputting steady DPS as long as you keep your DoT effects active.

Both weapons also still have some usefulness apart from synergizing. The direct corrosion DoT is so good at base that it can carry the weapon's wave clear unaided (again, the cooker synergy is for puddle support and single-target). Gamma also gives the cooker the ability to quickly "mark for death" low health problem targets. Spitters, problem grunts, etc.

Ditto. I rock the Cryo Cannon & Wave Cooker + Exothermic Reactor and it's really fun when you freeze a group of enemies and they suddenly just vanish from the temperature shock explosion.

Although on some occasions I'll run all stock with the Crispr and Subata + Volatile Bullets. Never tried Sludge Pump & Subata + Toxic Catalyst, but I do know that combo exists.

Dispersion compound + gamma contamination allows you to stack a heap of status effects on bugs.
Persistent plasma on the EPC is great for killing swarmers, but I don't really like the EPC, feels too clunky
Tranq rounds on the subata + goo bomber special/disperser compound means that enemies stay stuck in goo puddles for longer
Compact feed valves makes the flamethrower very versatile, EPC with persistent plasma can go well enough with this build, or the wave cooker
Sticky fuel can be good for area denial, but isn't very ammo efficient
Always liked snowball on the cryo cannon, even before the buff, excellent mactera delete switch, Though I personally dislike the cryo cannon a bit, though I used to love it.

I prefer gunner, gunner gets some of the coolest OCs

[CCShad]

Pyro build:

Generalist flamethrower decent at direct ignition and sticky flames ignition, paired with a wave cooker secondary with the temp shock T5 upgrade. Ignite and wave cook for an insta kill - really fun and satisfying!

[Reaper King]

I got a fun one. It's called scout remover

All you need is C4 with
Extra Damage, Extra Charges and Extra range
Then go and delete those pesky scouts !
