SCOUT: Minimal Clips & Special Powder | On-Site Refining in Crystal


MINIMAL CLIPS for the M1000 and SPECIAL POWDER for the Boomstick are the Scout Overclocks featured in the Clusterf**ck Haz 5 Solo Refinery Mission.

MINIMAL CLIPS is a Clean Overclock for the M1000 Auto Rifle that ups your Magazine Size by 25% and cuts your reload time by 20%. Nothing fancy, just build to sustain your offensive potential for longer stretches, so I did NOT take the Born Ready reload perk along with it. If you like the raw functionality of the M1K, this OC doesn't change that, but you definitely feel the impact of it. Again, a "nothing fancy" but solid overclock. I built this for +Damage, +Accuracy and +Focus Shot Damage on tiers 1-3, and +Weakpoint Damage and Focus Stagger on tiers 4-5.

SPECIAL POWDER is a clean OC that I've featured before, but I took along for a revisit because I thought it might come in handy dealing with a Refinery in this biome. Basically, when your feet aren't touching the ground, firing the boomstick propels you in the opposite direction you fire, including straight UP in the air allowing you to escape trouble quickly, and with practice perform all sorts of acrobatics across caverns, especially when combined with the grappling hook. Hands down one of the most fun and useful overclocks in the game that has no downsides to the basic combat utility of the boomstick, but gives you that extra boost in mobility. I built it here for +Damage, Faster Reload and +Ammo on tiers 1-3, Blastwave and 50% Damage as Fire on Tiers 4 and 5 here.
