This is a solo run for Scout demonstrating the DOUBLE BARREL overclock for the Boomstick and the OVERCLOCKED FIRING MECHANISM overclock for the Deepcore GK2 Assault Rifle. A torturous 5 Full Swarm run showing off a good clean GK2 OC alongside an underrated Boomstick OC. The swarmers and the Neadocytes were just hellacious here almost feel like there was a swarmageddon warning, which there wasn't.
OVERCLOCKED FIRING MECHANISM for the Deepcore Assualt rifle bumps up your rate of fire in exchange for exccess recoil on the weapon. I almost always take ammo bump on tier 2 with any GK2 build as I did this time. Accuracy and Stability on tiers 1 and 3 were how I fought the recoil penalty and rounded tiers 4 and 5 off with bonus weakpoint damage and stun. I am very happy with how this overclock plays in this build. It packs a good punch with the increased fire rate and compensating for the recoil in the build didn't make me feel any problems with it. As with just about any Deepcore GK build other the AI STABILITY though, you will still struggle a bit with distance shots. But for sheer versatility and effectiveness there's not much downside. Solid choice.
DOUBLE BARREL for the Boomstick is a fine, but often underrated clean overclock. I honestly never equipped it even though I've had it in my inventory for over half a year, but as I began running a few missions with it it really stood out as a powerhouse enhancement to the the weapon. It gives you a small boost in damage and fires both barrels at once. So even though you're reloading a lot more often those shots murder the glyphids blowing multiple enemies to smithereens all in one pull of the trigger. In this build, knowing I'd be using ammo at 2 times the rate, I took Ammo in tiers 1 and 3, along with quicker reload in tier 2. Blastwave on tier 4 is simply my go to for any Boomstick build these days and and while I often waver between fear and fire on tier 5, I definitely lean towards fear these days. Certainly it did still chew threw the ammo and reloading is rough, but for the damage you do I can't recommend enough that it's worth a spin or two before you decide if it's for you.
I rate both of these overclocks highly and would feel comfy with this pair going into Haz 5 solo or in team situations. Try. Enjoy. Kill bugs.
