DRAK-25 PLASMA CARABINE NEW OC "CONDUCTIVE THERMALS"

[Darth Karl]

Description:
- Applies temporary buff to Heat, Cold and Shock damage on hit
- Affected enemies can be heated / cooled faster
- Lower damage output
- More heat generated per shot

Any idea how it would work in Solo missions?

It seems like a better support for Driller, specially on Freezing Dreadnoughts
With the lower damage output, I must choose Overcharged PCF for passive damage or Plasma Splash for crowd control...
I am a Hot Feet + Manual Heat Dump lover, so I won't change those mods...

I guess using Nishanka Boltshark X-80 with its thermals OC (Cryo and Fire Bolts) won't work as I expect...
Any Ideas??

Not as well as it would in co-op obviously?

Yeah, that is obvious. But also it is a challenge even if it seems a very bad idea xd

why does every single DRAK OC need to have a heat generation and/or cooling penalty, are they terrified of the weapon accidentally being useful or something

well for TEF it's an upside since it means you'll set stuff on fire faster, shield battery booster is about managing heat well, and OPA is terrible anyway, and removal of the heating wouldn't make it any better.

If it makes it easier to heat or cool, you can be more efficient with Cryo grenades in theory, and can hit better heat breakpoints with boomstick. That said, base Drak is doing a lot of heavy lifting here, I’m pretty skeptical.

We don't even know how big the heat generation is and we already complaining ? Lets save that for when we see the stats . I prefer that over less ammo anyway.

Edit: Also i think they said is work with your own weapons. It all depends if that debuff is permanent or how long it lasts. They said you can ignite dreads so that might be worth something.

The elemental boltshark bolts will pair well

They said 8 seconds is the maximum. Dreadnoughts have resistance to it.

For solo: Boltshark Cryo or Fire, Boomstick with Phosphor rounds, Cryo Grenades, BOSCO's Cryo Rockets. Plenty of options, but I would go all in on the phosphor rounds on the boomstick and the boltshark elementals.

I hope the damage penalty isn't too severe. The Drak already feels like a pea-shooter at base damage, IMO.

It's primarily focused on COOP play, but also works with all of the Scouts secondary weapons + OCs.

Dreadnoughts should be flammable with this OC. Volatile Bullets bros we're about to break elimination missions in ways that would horrify Karl himself.
