Aren't unstable OC's supposed to change how a weapon behaves at a hefty cost? What's the point if you can get the exact stats for only an unnoticable %5.88 damage reduction without the movement penalty with a clean OC?

Because you could double up on flow rate and give up some ammo?

I mean, it's only the "exact same stats" because you purposefully built it that way.

The only way to get 160% fuel flow rate is with Facemelter. (Whether that's worth it or not is another discussion.)

Face melter flamethower is VERY good at killing dreadnoughts if instead of ammo you go for even more flow rate. Eliminations don't require as much ammo management vs other modes.

It is not a general use OC but it does fill in niches.

Yeah, was going to say this as well. Elimination is pretty much the one use case for it, absolutely shreds Dreadnaughts, and the ammo isn't a huge concern.

Other weapons have can do something similar. The minigun and PGL have 3 OCs that just slightly change ammo and damage. And depending on what mods you choose you get very similar stats.
The point of those OCs is to hyper specialise into one thing, like 18 ammo PGL or 3800 ammo minigun.

That's it? Sure it's the only way to achieve %160 flow rate but when i build a weapon for one specific use case, i generally want my other weapon to be built to handle other situations. Both of the driller's secondaries are either too weak or too ammo constrained to be single handedly relied upon.

Subata with volatile bullets and oversized mags works wonderfully with facemelter. There's no situation that cant be handled with the rest of your kit.

It's makes a mean weapon and build but if efficient or optimal is what you want, this isn't it.

It varies on a weapon by weapon or oc basis. The unstable sticky flame overclock may change your play style more if that's what you want but that's just another form of hyper specializing on the flamethrower.

The (cryo) snow ball, ice spear,(minigun) bullet hell, burning hell (pgl) fat boy over clocks may be what you're looking for. Don't be afraid of meme builds they're some of the most fun. Be free!

Edit: was gonna link Syncourt but he's already here. Good stuff

Ever since ive gotten the Rocket Jump Overclock i haven't been able to swap away from it.

Being an engineer at 90% efficiency but also have the insane vertical mobility scouts have is fun as hell.

There's so many OC's I still need to try out. I have em all just never got around to using most of them.
