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 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.

Chosen perks for this disaster: Vampire,Resupplier, Sweet Tooth - Berserker, Iron Will. ☣ Sludge Pump has been set up for max coverage and time, compensating for no extra ammo. ☢ I haven't used the Gamma Contamination OC much but another dwarf convinced me to use T1C to have better coverage, which means more chance to irradiate bugs. I'm leaving off T4 for now as I can't decide which one would be more useful but I'll play about with it in-game.

The rest is pretty standard, drills for drilling C4 for terrain/scout/bug clearing etc. And good ol axes, been trying other throwables lately but i always get an itch in my stubby dwarven mitts for some axe assault! ⛏

Update: Changed CWC to have more ammo, and added T4A to compensate for narrow lens; worked well before but was running out of ammo well before the Sludge Pump,naturally, so I'll see how this goes for a while.
