Whenever the CWC damages a Burning or Frozen enemy, it inflicts 50% of its damage as Heat or 75% as Cold (respectively) to all enemies within a 2.5m radius (including the Burning/Frozen enemy itself). This causes the primary target to have an extended Burning or Frozen duration, while also causing nearby enemies to start to Ignite or Freeze.
Press Reload to toggle Wide Lens Add-On off/on. When activated, x1.25 Shot Width in exchange for +110% Heat Generation.
Press Reload to toggle Power Supply Overdrive off/on. When activated, +2.5 Rate of Fire in exchange for x0.1 Shot Width and +40% Heat Generation
x1.3 Damage vs enemies afflicted by Neurotoxin, Corrosion, or Sludge Puddles. Additionally, a 10% chance per ammo to spread Neurotoxin from the primary target to nearby enemies.
Enemies killed by the Wave Cooker have a 50% chance to explode, dealing 100 Explosive Area Damage in a 2.5m radius.
Every time the Wave Cooker damages a Burning or Frozen enemy, it has a 25% chance to trigger Exothermic Reactor. Exothermic Reactor sets the enemy's temperature back to zero, applies Temperature Shock to them (dealing 200 Disintegrate-element damage), and causes the enemy to deal 50 Temperature "damage" in a 2m radius -- Heat if they were Burning, or Cold if they were Frozen.

Loadout Guide

INFO

  • This build does well on Co-op aswell, but you will need to swap out Ripper Grenades. Rippers scale pretty badly against Dreads with more players, but are extremely strong on solo.
  • Designed around Solo Elimination missions. Sludge Blast is a good alternative, but does not benefit nearly as much from the Blisters.

PLAYSTYLE

  • Shoot the Dreadnought to apply the Corrosion effect, so Wave Cooker can benefit from it.
  • Apply Blisters to the Dreadnought, then either use Rippers to chain hit them, or use a charged Sludge Pump shot for burst damage.
  • Against Twin Dreads, use the combo: Sludge -> Blisters -> Sludge Charge Shot -> Satchel Charge
  • For Hiveguards, use Satchel Charges on the shield phase, and Rippers for her Health Phase if possible.
  • Reg. Dread is weak to pretty much all of your tools.

Hope this helps :>
