This is part of my "Builds for a bunch of overclocks" series. In each of the (at time of writing) 6 slots, I have a build for each primaries & secondaries, with each being paired into 3 builds. These are played mostly at Hazard 4, solo.
For the primary, I've gone with a Shield Battery Booster DRAK. When at full shields, the damage is 14.5 (enough to one shot swarmers at Haz 4/5). Since it breaks the shield when it overheats, I've taken T1 B & T3 B to reduce that chance. Since it alread hits a nice break point (1 shotting swarmers & 4 shotting grunts in the head at Haz 4/5), I've taken T2 A. T4 is preference (although I'd suggest against taking T4 B). I just generally find T4 A the most useful.
I've taken T5 A, which may seem counterintuitive. However, if you combine it with the recharge speed mod in your armor (T1 B), it gives you the 100% speed bonus without having to wait 9 seconds for the shield to recharge. This is because the shield starts to recharge immediately after the overheat occurs (if it was caused by the overheat).
For the secondary, I've gone with a swarm clear Minimal Magazines ZHUKOV. I took T2 B which, combined with the OC, brings up the total ROF to "40" (although T2 C is also a good choice to get the reload down to 0.6). T3 B & T4 A are necessary for swarm clear, while T5 is preference (but I prefer the extra damage from T5 A).
