What Are Scouts Best Overclocks? | Deep Rock Galactic

Yes can’t wait to hear about the best OC for the other dwarves too!

For me, Aggressive venting is absolutely amazing, especially with manual overheating. One of scout's biggest problems for me has always been swarms, and aggressive venting just removes that weakness to an extent. And for the boltshark, trifork volley turns the crossbow into a railgun of doom that rivals the Engi's Hyper propellant.

A strong advocate for overtuned firing mechanism for the gk2 here. It's just fun. High rate of fire on a weapon with an intense kick, with battle frenzy as the cherry on top. Gotten used to it where I don't have ammo problems, haz 5 solo or full team. It's competent - dunno if it's the best. If I really wanted go all out on min-maxing, I'd take the m1000. I just run this OC cause it's fun.

Really like the video format and the in depth explanation of each overclock! For future videos a quick screen pop up with your mod build for each would be really nice too! Especially when you mention with certain builds you can hit certain breakpoints, so showing them would be very helpful.

Special powder can be really handy too on eliminations stock boomstick does a lot of dmg and you can launch yourself away from dangerous attacks so you can pick something else then dash

Hey Ron!! If I had to pick my favorite overclocks for Scout: GK2: AI Stability Engine (having that accuracy at any range is incredible) M1000: Hipster (because spam firing this is so much fun 😆) DRAK-25: Toss up between Aggressive Venting and Impact Deflection (both are great for crowd control, something Scout doesn't really have) Jury Rigged Boomstick: Special Powder (cuz why not fling yourself everywhere? 😆) Zhukovs: Embedded Detonators (the explosive damage is crazy with this) Crossbow: The Specialist (I really enjoy the pheromone darts, can have even more of them with this) Rock and Stone!!

Did not know about the auto tracking on the bodkin bolts, gonna keep an eye out for that one!

I have only one OC for my zhukovs, my favorite scout secondary, and it's Gas Recycling. Build it for reload speed and/or firing speed + get in get out, also ammo and accuracy. It's basically another primary with how much high value ammo you have.

My primary set for scout Is: M1000, active stability, Pierce let’s you pop grunts, body shot webbers, and charge up for a double damage blow- letting you triple kill grunts and handle swarms a little better Crossbow: Pyro bolts, lure bolts. Lure a big bug and then hit it with a Pyro bolt, the other bugs will cook themselves while tearing apart the big boi.

Awesome video can’t wait for more!

The fire darts are really fun with an ifg and aggressive venting. You don't have to aim (like, at all) at any of those swarming ground-based hoards, and everything dies while feared, slowed and enflamed. You can ignore the enemies and kill them at the same time, which is very satisfying, and gives a lot of extra time to look around in a fight. edit: running projectile velocity over RoF on the drak here is nice as you can shoot it well at ranged enemies and then fear nearby enemies from hitting you at the same time.

Thx Ron I tried scout on solo Elite deepdive to get better. I tried different overclocks but cant get a Setup whitch, fits to my playstyle

The Drak is honestly hard because all of the overclocks are pretty good. But I’d have to say my favorite is Rewiring just because it enhances the flexibility and gives so much ammo that as long as you’re okay with overheating and running around (which if you’re playing Scout, kinda your thing) it’s amazingly flexible. To me it feels like base Drak with more ammo. And I can build the base Drak with either more ammo or more damage. And I usually take the more damage. But since rewiring is so good, I still don’t lose ammo so fast.

I like to use M1000 as Focused Shot weapon, so I never use Hipster. I really like Active Stability System overclock: it keeps me mobile when using Focused Shots, and increased Focused Speed is a nice addition, too. I can live with increased Reload time, and Born Ready is a self-evident pick here. Bad thing is that currently I'm so used to enjoy ASS's benefits that it's hard for me take any other OC for my M1000 Focused Shot build.

I really hope the GK2 gets a buff in the future, an extra hundred rounds in reserve would be perfect and an extra 5/10 rounds in the mag or a small damage buff. It just doesn’t have enough ammo for how weak it is. I’m an engineer main but on the rare occasion I play scout I mostly use the GK2 but it feels so weak

Specialist is my pick for best crossbow OC. You can frequently fire off a bunch of pheromone bolts and pretend the bugs are gone :)

I'm very partial to gumbo shells on the broomstick idk. The utility of special powder is awesome but I feel like jumbo shells practically being a straight buff to cc and damage is incredible.

Look forward to this little series

My favorite oc for the zukhovs is gas recycling for the extra damage I liked to couple them with the drak with overtuned particle accelerator, before i started to use the crossbow with bodkin points, but i still like this combo nonetheless

If Ron covers DRG, I'm there!
