To me, I'd give that nod to Neurotoxin for the auto cannon. Basically become an OG WoW Warlock and fear everything away as it's dotted. Sure, it's not great for elimination missions or big targets, but that's where a secondary like lead spray BRT or several Bulldog builds come into play

[jeffmartinez]

Breech Cutter wasn't made for killing bugs, it was designed to kill anything and everything...

[jordancheng]

My pick would be Volatile Impact Mixture for the Sludge Pump, which was mentioned in the video. I define the strength of an overclock by how much it transforms the weapon/class without overclocks. Doubling the damage of regular shots and charged shots is no joke, especially for Driller, who generally struggles more than other classes against boss-type enemies such as dreadnaughts. Compared to Elephant Rounds, which is another overclock that doubles damage and is also considered an extremely good overclock, the drawbacks that come with Volatile Impact Mixture aren't nearly as severe as the drawbacks that come with Elephant Rounds.

While I do agree that breach cutter and lightweight cases are comically strong(especially as someone who loves watching reloading animations in FPS games, I actually do not run born ready with it because I like seeing that chonky animation), I feel like a lot of people are sleeping on the new Plastcrete Catalyst. Sure, you need platforms, but you'll be doing this by default anyway, and it sort of repurposes the platforms to be similar to what driller can do, which is using the traversal tool as a weapon, which now Engineer can do with this. A few other details people don't seem to know is that you can pick-axe cancel the recharge period as long as you still have battery in the reserve capacity, so... its an unstable with the only downside of -50 ammo. And you're rewarded with a 4m+ radius damage field around your platforms(which you can delay the explosion with pickaxe cancelling once more so you don't smack you and your team) and a nice explosion when you can't bother to run to an oppressor's behind, or there are just bugs stuck in the random geometry and you can't reach them. Also, doubling your damage with a hitscan AoE, 100% accurate weapon that can do damage through armor in general is... just good. I actually stop running thorns with it because when I'm surrounded, I just shoot a platform at my feet and zap-pickaxe-zap swarmers/naedocytes and such away.

[TheEMan]

I love taking stubby with turret em discharge, and breach cutter with return to sender on engineer, gives him amazing area denial.

[thorin]

I love lightweight cases, I also love the others you mentioned.

But no mention of Neurotoxin Payload? Combined with fear, that's my "Haz 5 is now easy mode" OC. People ask me how I get downed 0 times in EDD's. in some ways it feels like I'm cheating.

[senorgato]

I feel like RJ250 is slept on because it offers a ton of solutions to a ton of problems that Engi faces. PGL is designed for point and click wave clear but has some ammo problems if used too often - RJ250 gives tons of ammo! You also don’t need to take any of the damage up mods with RJ250 to consistently take out grunts if you’re running fire rounds (though you can if you want extra killing power against, for example, slashers), which opens you up to take even MORE ammo without sacrificing wave clear. Moreover, Engi has trouble getting away from clusters of bugs if not running Dash or if Dash is on cooldown, but with RJ250 you can simply blast off in the opposite direction of any swarm without a scratch. You also get increased reload speed, which is never a bad thing, and you get to cosplay as Scout by reaching high up minerals and (with some practice) totally forgetting that fall damage exists. Plus, it’s just a ton of fun to rocket jump around Hoxxes IV.

[rodlimadiniz]

The Scout overclock for jumping with the shotgun. It really changes how you move, and gives you a ton of possibilities. If you can't reach a far away point with your hookshot, you can propel yourself to it first. If you fall from too high up, just aim down and shoot before you hit the ground, and it will cushion your fall.

[mr]

the points you brought up are definitely valid if you are talking about strongest overclock per weapon or even per class, also you have to think about what the term strongest means

but I think there is a pretty obvious pick that is so far above anything else in the game that its not even a close call and we all know its Neuro Toxin Payload for the Auto cannon. The funny thing about it is that it actually gets even stronger the higher the difficulty goes because of how it works. This is bar none the 'strongest' overclock in the game in terms of allowing you to conquer the hardest situations in the game, actually surprised you didnt even mention it, makes me think you just plain forgot about it!

[percentGrey]

This is a fair and thorough point about Lightweight Cases. Having 3 more shots from the Breach Cutter is always viable and it frees you up to choose different mods without any penalties or novelties. I mod my Breacher a little differently, though. I go with more damage, armor breaking, and triple split lines so it's easier to use and deal more consistent damage per shot.

[rarebruh]

I think a good way to figure out what the "Strongest" Overclock is, is to put it like this:
If you were to go into a mission completely blind to everything about it, other than that it'll be EXTREMELY difficult, what overclock would you pick?

[sigmakono]

I think that Sticky Fuel and Volatile Bullets share a joint first for "strongest overclock" personally. Sticky because it can effortlessly wipe hordes of bugs to the point where your team can focus near exclusively on high value targets, and VB because it is seriously overtuned (like 4-shotting a bulk with WP hits overtuned). You can just imagine how powerful these two overclocks are in conjunction.

[tabunga]

The OC that keeps the breach cutter spinning. Using that on a downed dwarf while reviving then stuns and kills enemies around. Sure it's not a shield but it's a helicopter blade of death when aimed at the ground

[eugenekrabs]

Neurotoxin payload is too good to not take the cake IMO. Yeah you lose out on single target damage, but you can just get your secondary to fill in that one weakness. It’s insane cc, good area denial with the fear upgrade, super ammo efficient, and the range for killing spitters is actually super good considering all you need to do is tag them with the poison. Just bring lead spray or elephant rounds/six shooter and you’re a swarm clearing god.

[SpaceDwarfNova]

Lightweight Cases is just one of those overclocks as a secondary that, like you said, can go with pretty much anything. Hipster is so OP I almost don't even need my secondary 😆 Sometimes I forget that I even have a secondary (unless I have Special Powder) 😆 Rock and Stone!

[MrMathman]

I'd say doing best overclocks for each weapon would be a good idea, a video per class.

[VRTX.]

Can u do the video about 1 or 2 the best overclocks? for every weapons with your build?

[SelectClay]

The crazy part is that this was my first ever overclock that I unlocked, and I run it more with a damage build than an ammo build and it still sustains itself pretty well. Think I've had it since rank 30 or so and I'm rank 45 now; I just run in a straight line, 180, and disintegrate the hoard chasing me.

[RadPotato]

You should totally do a video in this style for the best over clocks but for each dwarf, like a little series

[GordonGordon]

Hehehe. A roller knocked a scout into my hyperpropellant shot. He was astounded that a roller could one tap a full health dwarf. I was trying so hard not to laugh
