Soup Blaster (Corrosive Sludge Pump)
T1 can be either increased projectile speed or clip size. I usually prefer the increased projectile speed since it allows me to get away with more empty charges (where you make a charge shot with 1 ammo in the clip)
T2 was an easy pick, as adding more damage to charge shots (though good on paper) in practice leaves you hastily looking for nitra before a swarm finds your location. more damage to regular shots will enable you to make more of less ammo.
T3 is an obvious pick, since this weapon was built for shooting AT the bugs, more ammo is your way to go.
T4 I went with charge speed since needing less ammo to charge is not as important when I really am reserving it for when I need it, or when my clip is low
T5 I went for more damage over time, which was mostly for the sake of making the most of what damage I manage to do.
The overclock I used to do was the clean overclock that buffs the DoT and slowdown for Glyphids hit by the soup directly, now I'm using Volitile Impact Mixture because I hear it was goated (and having tried it via Sandbox, it is in fact pretty strong)
Old Reliable (Subata 120)
T1 can any one of these 3, I for one tend to choose between no base spread and faster reload.
T2 is more ammo (since this gun wasn't meant to slay dreadnoughts)
T3 could easily be any of the 3, but improved accurasy is the better choice from experience
T4 I went with better weakpoint damage as that will enable you to make the most of your shots if you know what your doing.
T5 is obviously going to be corrosive bullets, since bonus damage on burning targets will not come in handy in co-op when nobody brings fire (let alone solo)
Despite the potential of Full auto and the thrill of explosive reload, Tranquilizer Darts was the OC I chose (I actually own it outside of sandbox testing too)
