Loadout Guide

Finally a new damage OC for Stubby! Hyperalloy Assembly makes stubby into AI Stability Engine's little cousin. It has 15% less weak spots damage, 60 less ammo overall, and still has significant vertical recoil. However, it trades a small chance to stun for a modest chance to electrocute, and if you can get close enough or manage the recoil it does have a higher fire rate. Overall, it feels pretty good in the hands of the engi, finally allowing stubby to cleanly hit the 15 dmg swarmer breakpoint. This pairs very well with Volatile Impact Reactor because well this OC just does it all. With weak point dmg amd the stubby enabling the dmg boost in T5 it does respectable single target damage, while the molten trails just evaporate swarms. Through in SSGs and your turrets built to your preference to also passively kill enemies, and you become a one dwarf army. If you were never a fan of damage stubby builds give this one a shot.
