+1 Blowthrough
Shooting an enemy that is afflicted with Corrosion, Sludge Puddle, or Neurotoxin will apply 2 Status Effects. The first one lasts 5 seconds, and each bullet that hits will increase the DPS by +3.2, up to a maximum of 30 stacks (96 DPS). After its duration expires, you must apply a new instance and start stacking it again. The second Status Effect lasts 4.5 seconds, and its duration can be refreshed. If an enemy dies while the second one is active, then they will explode and damage nearby enemies proportional to the number of active stacks of the first effect. The explosion does (60 + 20*stacks) Typeless Damage, and the radius is (0.5 + SqRt[stacks]) meters.

Note:

Straightforward high damage build based on Driller's base weapons ​ Close Range: Facemelter CRISPR deletes everything ​ Long Range: Subata is capable of dealing with most long range threats (such as Macteras, note that Explosive Reload only works if you deal damage to the enemy's HP bar)

Flamethrower Upgrades:

T1 and T5 - Either works

Subata Upgrades:

T5 - Either works

Pros:

  • Amazing DPS (Even against Dreadnoughts)
  • Insane Close Range Damage
  • Decent Long Range Option with Explosive Reload

Cons:

  • Low Reach on Primary (Facemelter reduces range)
  • Subata is less ammo efficient due to OC
