Fun viable melee driller build

Intro

Never go damage on the drills they said.

This build is based on the damage modification on the drills. When you lot get bored past the meta builds and y'all desire a trivial fun this is what yous need. Also considering at that place are no real melee weapons in the game this is the closest to an actual melee build.

Just to know it is not a meme build, it is pretty feasible in virtually situations, but also this is non the strongest y'all can become with.

Primary weapon

The build uses Cryo Cannon, you volition exist in the face of the enemies all the fourth dimension. Your goal is to freeze them and kill them with your drill or pickaxe or axe.

And then it is simply a basic freezing build, to freeze them every bit fast every bit you tin.

Cryo Cannon

(22?32)

Tier 1

Faster Turbine Spinup

Yous want to shoot with your weapon asap, then in that location is less chance you will exist eaten by enemies.

Tier ii
Overclocked Ejection Turbine

Gives you a fiddling more space to work with.

Tier three
Information technology is hard to decide considering none of them makes this build improve.
Improved Pump

It will assist refill the pressure chamber ~ii sec faster (~3.5 sec instead of ~v.5), but when I play this build I never reach the point when I need to refill the force per unit area sleeping accommodation.

Increased Menstruation Volume

Information technology gives you a slight rate of fire boost, enemies will freeze faster but it is hard to come across the difference. The downside is, it makes you to use up your ammo faster.
With a full force per unit area bedchamber yous will shoot ~ten ammo more with this modification, until your weapon drops the pressure completely.

Tier 4
Larger Reserve Tank

Cyro Cannon always eats your ammo, it helps a lot.
If you are playing solo you can endeavour out Supercooling Mixture. You will have ammo shortage, simply information technology is easier to manage when you can take all supplies.

Tier 5
Common cold Radiance

Fragile is the improve option here in well-nigh builds, only not in this one.
One you want to kill the enemies with your drill or pickaxe to heal, and so Fragile has negative synergy with this build.

Overclock
Perfectly Tuned Cooler

Information technology freezes things faster, simple.

Secondary weapon

The build tin can work with both secondaries and multiple builds, but it is really good with the Experimental Plasma Charger plasma burn build.

Experimental Plasma Charger

(12323)

Tier 1

Increased Particle Density

More than damage, so things die faster

Tier 2
Overclocked Ejection Turbine

You lot won't charge your weapon with this build, y'all will but go pew, pew. Two things you need to hit with the EPC, frozen enemies and enemies that are out of range of your Cryo Cannon.
The second ones are unremarkably moving fast on the ceiling, the faster projectile helps to striking them.

Tier three
Tweaked Radiator

Same thing, you won't accuse shot and this helps to pew pew more and with less cooldown.

Tier 4
High Density Bombardment

This weapon as well eats ammo, so here is more.

Tier v
Plasma Fire

Here is the main point of this build, when yous shoot the enemies they volition proceed fire. So information technology helps to apply Temperature Daze damage. It occurs when an enemy takes whatsoever Cold harm while On Burn down, or any Fire damage while Frozen. And so you need to freeze them and shot with the plasma burn EPC or vice versa.

Overclock
Heavy Hitter

This works well with the pew pew build.

Equipment

Reinforced Power Drills

(111?)

Tier i

Barbed Drills

Here comes the biggest flaw of this build and the main point of information technology at the aforementioned time.
Extra damage on the drills makes it really like shooting fish in a barrel to kill bugs with it.
Best way to utilise it, get-go freeze the wave (frozen enemies take 3x impairment) then finish them with the drills.
The drills trigger the Vampire perk, so information technology is a very potent combo.
Every time when y'all kill a medium-sized or larger fauna with the drills you regain 5 wellness.
But with this modernistic, you are giving up the mining rate what you tin can become with the Hardened Drill. And so you are catastrophe up as a driller who are bad at drilling. That is the biggest flaw.

Tier 2
Magnetic Refrigeration

It is merely straight up amend. The -3s Overheat Duration is not necessary, because your goal is to never overheat your drill.

Tier 4
Increased Tank Pressure

Both options make sense. My experience is you will run out of Drill ammo a lot, and yous will need to stop drilling enemies considering of overheat many times too. But in overall the actress ammo volition save you in more cases.
If you are playing in solo or duo where you can take more supplies, taking Encarmine Cold Drills is probably the better pick.

Pickaxe

Tier 2
Better Weight Residuum

It is the default choice.

Serrated Border

I become with this when I take the Berzerker Perk, makes it really strong.

Satchel Charge

(1111)

Tier 1

Fragmentary Shell

Larger radius makes information technology easier to blow up your ain team 🙂
You volition impale more bugs with this than bringing +ane with smaller radius. The area damage is unnecessary, you are using your C4 to kill the "trash" mobs and they will dice in the explosion anyway.

Tier 3
Extra Satchel Charge

+one is better than the area damage and the detonation with damage just makes it worse.

Tier four
Large Blindside

All three are kinda skillful. I prefer the Fear over Stun because if there is a Pretorian, it volition turn and run away showing its a*s towards you, and so you can shoot the weakpoint easily.

Affect Axe

I know you lot can brand nice fart clouds with the Neurotoxin Grenade that blinds everyone, merely the axe is more constructive. Especially combined with the Cryo, two axes can kill most of the tanky enemies if they are frozen.
Also very useful during Ebonite consequence, you can 2 shot them with the axe.
Because of the AOE damage, swell to clear Poisonous substance Spores Fungus areas in Fungus Bogs. Throw your axe middle of them, it volition destroy them plus you can take back your axe.

Armor Rig

(1213)

Tier 1

Improved Generator

Optional but, this feels the best.

Tier ii
Healthy

It is similar, you want to get a fiddling more shield or a lot more hp? Ofc yous want to go more hp, peculiarly when you tin can regain it with the Vampire perk.

Tier 4
Animate Room

Sometimes you will meet with people lying on the ground, you will revive them and 1 sec later they are dead again. It happens because they don't have this modernistic.

Perks

Passive Perks

Vampire

This is a must have Perk with this build. Y'all Regain 5 health everytime you impale medium-sized or bigger enemy with melee. Works with the Drills, Pickaxe and Impact Axe.

Elemental Insulation

Long range enemies will spit everything on you, and it helps to not die because of that.

Sweet Tooth

I commonly run with this considering yous never have plenty healing, but this slot is very optional.

Friendly

Because y'all will be ever in the face up of the enemies, yous will suffer a lot of team damage.
So this can exist a valid option here, swapping out 1 from the previous two.

Active Perks

(Choose 2 from this three)

Atomic number 26 Will

With Vampire it is basically a free extra life. You get up and drill or axe or power attack some enemies and you are on half HP.

Berzerker

Helps a lot when your Drills need to cool downward or out of ammo. As well very good against tanky enemies. If you popular this during Ebonite event, y'all can but ignore the canisters.

Dash

Very solid perk. You volition drill enemies inside the wave and it helps to leave the frontline when something goes bad. Y'all can dash out from the sticky goo when a Goo Bomber is pooping on you or you are in Mucus Bogs. As well synergizes very well with the Satchel Charge, when the moving ridge is on y'all just drop the C4 under your feet and Dash out from it (Your teammates are sometimes non gear up for this move).

Summary

So in overall information technology is a very fun build. The Cryo + Harm Drill + Vampire + EPC Burn is a decent combo.

Just aye sometimes it volition exist awkward, when your team calls the drop pod and they look at you and presume you will drill dorsum to the pod. But you are completely unsuitable for this task.
It is fine if you lot simply need to drill a Compacted Dirt, but when your team wants you lot to do a bigger task information technology is better if y'all start acting like you are very busy and you are doing something more important.

At that place are smashing means to pretend you are busy, you can first to pet all the lootbugs in the cave or ping x times on the i Boolo Cap that'south hanging on the ceiling. Terminal option just C4 yourself "accidentally".
