Colette Wave Cooker

+2 Damage
+100 Magazine Size
x3 Shot Width
-20% Heat Generation
+2 Rate of Fire
+50% Cooling Rate, -0.5 Overheat Duration
Enemies damaged will have their movespeed slowed by 50% for 1 second
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

I wanted to see how much single-target DPS the Colette Wave Cooker could put out on its own, and this is the build to do it. It requires a small combo with the Corrosive Sludge Pump to activate the Wave Cooker's Tier 5 A mod, Contagion Transmitter. Simply slop 'em with some sludge then turn on Power Supply Overdrive and cook them to perfection. Just like Uncle's famous BBQ. The DPS is good while it lasts, but if you find yourself battling the overheat mechanic of the Wave Cooker, then you should try this combo build for the wave cooker instead.

Improved Spooling Mechanism makes the Sludge Pump a joy to use. It turns the otherwise tedious charge-shot mechanic into a very quick attack that annihilates packs of bugs.

The CSP overclock is pretty flexible here. AG Mixure, Disperser Compound, or Hydrogen Ion Additive all work pretty well with this build.

The proper way to use the sludge pump is to charge it up and aim at the bugs in the front of the pack. They will take the AoE splash, and the puddle will form right in front of them and they will immediately walk into it and start taking damage from it.
