- Overclocks are where a lot of the fun of build crafting really starts to show. However a lot of people have a hard time understanding what overclocks are
and where to get them. Today I explain just that so that you can make you weapons into power houses as well.

Just like traffic lights, Overclocks should be treated the same for any build. Green means always safe, Yellow means proceed with caution, and red means absolute chaos. R&S Miners!
Green means safe, Yellow means speed up, Red means check for glyphids ( police officers ) and proceed accordingly.
How the hell the leadstorm unstable grants chaos I have no idea
Nu-uh! You don't get away with that! Say the full thing!
Rock and Stone! \m/

4:30 Note about Salvo:
If you read the oc stats carefully, you see that the downside is that _salvo_ rockets do not have guidance. But regular rockets do! So it you tap fire shooting only one rocket at a time, it's like you're not even using an oc to begin with. So despite it's label of unstable, it works very much like a clean in pratice.
I personally see the guidance of the rockets on the Hurricane as default a downside. Can't wait to try out the OC that removes it, although the RoF decrease is very saddening.
@@ZarHakkar they reworked it, fire Rate goes up ad well as ammo. Its my new fav for gunner
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Ill also add that whilst clean overclocks generally are small improvements, much more like a mod, there are some that actually change the behaviour of the gun, much like unstable overclocks normally do. The shotgun blast OC and hoverclock come to mind
There's one unstable overclock that's literally just the best, the overcharger for the shard defractor, literally pressing reload while firing doubles it's damage and drain speed, but if you don't press the reload it's just a normal shard defractor literally broken IN TERMS of unstables
You get a death beam that can kill as far as the eye can see with only downside of needing to press the button
isn't it also locking you in place when you use the overcharge? (which is really only a downside when you're being swarmed tbh lmao)
@@pokelordomega1701 if you use it while in the air, you keep the jump trajectory.
Thats so cool! Its like an on demand nuke
There's actually quite a few Unstable Overclocks like that, that are actually clean Overclocks.
One of my first overclock is still one of my favorites, Return to Sender for the Breach Cutter. At the cost of some ammo when you release the fire button the plasma stream comes back if it hasn't gone too far. Great for large swarms, Praetorians, Oppressors, and some Dreadnaughts.
Try spinning death my favorite oc for breach cutter
@@Jester2361 well I'm just a fat boy enjoyer myself :)
@@Bence3 ehhhh... it's fun, but theres never a swarm that big, base gl is better (especially for lower ammo cost and less team kill potential) but i prefer hyperpropellant because explosive chemical rounds do good enough swarm clear and single target
Also side note: If you gotten ALL the overclocks and cosmetics, the game will just grant you Ores as the reward or credits.
My favorite one is the Hover ability for the Scout's sniper weapon.
I can't go without it! It has so much utility use with being able to stop and hover in mid air for a short time. It's honestly My favorite overclock I've used on a class.
I also like to do a large jump fly into the air and snipe those bugs at a distance, so much fun!
My first unstable Overclock was Hyperpropellant, basically makes the grenade launcher into an elephant gun for massive single target damage.
I just put it with a stubby SMG and shredders, so I have options for swarms. Works great on Industrial Sabotage especially, but really seems to work on any mission.
many of the unstable overclocks feel more like balanced ones, over actually taking something from the weapon. the salvo module that was mentioned in the video is one of them. i think that the minelayer overclock, which is labeled as balanced, should be labeled unstable, due to it removing the ability to guide rockets.
I think that you mentioned a very important tip here. Start off with green, experiment (and probably eventually settle) on yellow, and have one or two red builds for specific missions.
That event-cube-blank core-thing tip is super useful because I had been doing a ton of those events but didn’t you had to claim it to get any reward. Will look out for it later.
Unless it halves your ammo or damage most Unstables aren't as scary as they seem. Even then just putting mods to bring your stats back usually leaves you better off then overclockless. If you happen to be watching other people play don't just copy the build without understanding why they are using what they are using. Some mods are generally good and used on all OCs but other mods depend on secondaries or a particular element. Also very good explanation of DDs. Always try the EDD, mostly I die on the last one (5.5) and that gets you a blank and weapon core. If you go with 4 people bring some aoe otherwise slasher and guard swarms will drain too much ammo.
the optimal build advice is "fuck it, we ball"
best and most basic/straightforward, i sent this to my buddy cuz he just unlocked deep dives etc.. i wasnt able to explain how overclocks are gain, and used for very well. im a max prestige driller, and thanks to this he doesnt think im a scrub 😅 thanks bro
I have been adding videos to a "DRG to watch" playlist. I was going down your channel to add videos, and I basically was interested in every single video. I'm definitely subbed now.
Thank you so much.
Red OCs USUALLY have penalties or changes to the weapon that require fine tuning your build or playstyle, but a FEW are basically Green OCs with Red tier bonuses.
Most noticeable are SD Overcharger and Hurricane's Salvo Module, since their main gimmicks have CONDITIONAL ASPECTS (Overcharger is just a basic SD until you decide to activate it by pressing reload while firing; Salvo only cuts guided missiles if you keep the fire button pressed to charge the salvo attack) that makes them practically just a base gun with a red tier gimmick ready at any time.
Yellow ones are the ones you HAVE to pay close attention to, because they sometimes AFFECT HOW you SHOULD USE the weapon despite the core features of the gun itself not changing (Hurricane's PBM for example, they act more like guided killer bees than missiles, so the way you use them via guidance changes drastically) much if at all.
Notorious examples:
PBM (as said above);
ECR (LOK-1 explosive bullets);
Hipster (M1K);
Volatile impact mix and Disperser compound;
Combat Mobility (Autocannon);
Minelayer System;
Rewiring mod (DRAK plasma rifle);
All these drastically change HOW you should use the weapon those OCs are for, and they're YELLOW.
Yellow and Red OCs have to be CAREFULY STUDIED since sometimes a Red can easily be kept on your weapon because there's NO DEMERITS if you don't choose to use its features, while some Yellow OCs have to be BUILT with the build itself.
So my summarized take:
Green OCs are basically an extra that can be used for any purpose just like an extra mod tier.
Yellow and Red OCs you use with suggested builds to TEST them first, then once you understand the game and OCs more, start doing your own Builds.
I just got to the point of obtaining overclocks. Perfect timing!
thanks, this still helps me now a year later
usually all my go-to overclocks for my classes are
hoverclock m1000 and jumbo shells boomstick for scout
em refire stubby and inferno breach cutter for engi
combat mobility autocannon and hellfire coilgun for gunner
sticky fuel crispr and explosive reload subata for driller
Here are some things I wanna explain in my words (really unnecessary but anyways):
2:02 - I summarize the entire explanation by saying that clean overclocks are technically Tier 6 upgrades
4:30 - Salvo module it's (I think) the only unstable without an actual penalty becuase the no guidance penalty only applies to the salvo rockets since you can still shoot normal rockets by tap firing (oh wait it means that the penalty is that the weapon is no longer automatic lol)
there is also overdrive booster for the shard difractor since it's only IF you press the reload button... while firing of course
@@Moeru_Gatsu i forgor 💀
I love this part of the game
The simple joy of calibrating your gear to get the most out of your overclocks.
The verity is near endless.😊
You could do an additional short video or something, focusing on a random overclock and delve into what's good with it. That way you can make content for what you have and eventually do so for the rest as you get them
Great video, I've just promoted the gunner and this helped alot!
Best OCs for each class IMO:
Scout: Hipster
Engineer: Explosive Chemical Rounds
Gunner: Neurotoxin Payload
Driller: Volatile Impact Mixture
Of course there are other great OCs to get for each class but in my opinion obtaining these specific overclocks will take your build/class to an entirely new level.
hipster is probably the best statistically but i have a hoverclock addiction and i cannot fight it
Neuro for gunner is so damn boring. I Think burning hell for minigun, big bertha for autocanon and Rocket barrage for Hurricane are more versitile and fun since you can Build all of them for aoe or Single Target damage.
Thanks! My main question was what the heck do I do with a core infuser when the machine event is done. If I had any blank matrix cores I would have known. Thanks for the tips! I’m working on breach the core right now
Thank you for the video. Just promoted my dwarf and I was clueless.
I don't usually sub to gaming related anything since it tends to flood my algorithm with stuff I don't really care about.... But I've been loving DRG and watched quite a few of your videos trying to git gud.
Thanks for your good content❤
im just looking for a guide, i dont want to be harrassed into subscribing WHEN IM ALREADY SUBSCRIBED
8:35 Correction. You do not get to pick between a cosmetic or overclock core.. Its predetermined. You just get to pick what class it is for.
If you cancel the weekly overclock mission after you collect the overclock you can redo the mission over and over again so long as you don't collect the cosmetic core
Ive tried that before just cuz i had nothing to do and this doesnt work, atleast not on windows store/xbox
This has been fixed and replaced with the promotion free overclock, core, and cosmetic
been patched
@@blueking6996”free” but I get your point
So thats why people focus more on machine events than the mission
The overclock fuser
How you use that? How to bring the empty overclock to the mission?
Can you fuse all your empty one at one machine events?
If mission failed after you infuse will you lose all your overclock?
you simply have all cores on you at all times so if you don't have any blank ones you cant infuse them. also you can only fuse one blank core per machine event. lastly if you infuse a core and then fail or leave i believe you do still have it.
Also most overclocks can turn decent weapons into something better than its counterparts (Especially AI stablity engine for the deepcore gk2)
hold on, you can choose which OC's you want to craft in the forge? i just started playing last week and got my scout to level 25, but i watched an older video that said OC's were completely RNG. could someone clear this up for me?
Its random which overclocks you get as a reward for completing the various tasks but once you get them, you can forge them in any order you want.
Alright, you got yourself a sub. Content is too good to miss.
Thank you so much!
In the event you get everything. The matrix that you would get will now be resources. So at that point save for the event of us getting new weapon's. You never know now of days
Thanks for the guide. 😊
So do I understand that the cores are recieved randomly and you can't aim to get a certain weapon overclock core?
Just a thing for the lead storm of gunner:
The overclock named lead storm (like the gun) while unstable and rendering you unnable to move (it's a easy to bypass it , you juste have to jump, fire, stop firing when touching the ground and repeat) is a beast of an overclock and is good if you want to do minigun thing like commiting a war crime
Bullet hell is a joke, it do the exact same job as the blowtrought mod but a lot of times worst.
never use bullet hell
Also, on the PGL of engi between every overclock that give amo rj205 compoud is the best if you take the fiere mod
YES you take more time to kill the bugs BUT you kill grunts and everything under AND you can rocket jump....
troll with fat boy + proximity trigger...
sticky fuel is GOD
FOR KARL
I love using bullet hell because of all the ricochet noise it makes and maybe add tier 5-B to make the noise last longer :P
@@hjanuel13 bullet IS fun
and i agree with that, however it's not...
it's just....
it work sometines better, sometime worse
NEVER take bullet hell? It's the most fun gunner OC out there! and coupled with stun mod and coilgun fear stunlocks and rips swarms to shreds.
Not to mention the utility of being able to do something like kill a septic spreader that's high up and out of your line of fire by aiming at a wall near it instead.
Don't go out here scaring away people from a good OC just because you have different tastes smh
Very good for newbie Thx 👍
“you might not be able to do elite deep dives right away”
me: dies on 2 floor of regular DD
I might have fucked up my first overclock, like I got a key or some stuff, and I had in the first mission something, like a tower boss that I also saw in the video, but after I deleted it couldn't activate that white terminal idk why, but probablly I lost stuff bcz I activated the boss right?
So here’s a question for you. Is it normal for you to collect cores, both cosmetic and overclock, for the classes you aren’t playing? I play Gunner, and only Gunner. I’ve gotten a little over 14 different cores, mostly cosmetics for Engie, and not gotten a single Gunner related core. Is that sort of luck normal or am I supposed to be getting Gunner cores by playing on a different class?
I believe it is completely random so I think you just got some wild RNG.
Getting overclocks seems kind of fun
-Oh, i unlocked Deep Dives? Well, don`t think i should jump there right away, i still haven`t unlocked Haz 5, it could wait. I mean, not like it`s an *another* weekly event that i`m so fed up in all games
>"Deep dives are weekly events"
-And i have 4 min till my week resets... fuck it
I am the conduit through which the hyper propellant flows.
If I do a side quest (don’t know the proper word for them. Stuff like tritilyte depositing, pickaxe boosting, etc) and spend a matrix core to unlock an overclock, do I need to spend an extra one at the forge to own it?
Been dabbling in unstable overclocks lately and my absolute fave at the moment is the Explosive Reload for Scout's Zhukov. I just enjoy the feeling of instantly bursting down enemies with one clip or embedding enough bullets with Born Ready to make 'em explode all at once for a massive nuke. Is it practical and efficient? Prolly not. Best build? Not sure. Fun? HECK YEAH! Rock and Stone!
Do the overclocks you get from the Breach mission have anything to do with what class you’re using?
I used a scout with the M1000 yesterday and immediately got an overclock for it
nope getting overclocks is mostly rng based you just got lucky
Q: can I get the same overclock core multiple times?
No once you get it you have it.
ahhh thx for the teaching
I love unstables, god its like weapon reworks
I haven't played for a year or two. I farmed the crap outa this game for cores. I don't remember being able to pick a specific class when you level up forge mastery, is this new? Also I don't remember getting cores when you promote a class either, is that new too? Or do i just have a bad memory? haha
most Unstable OC's don't really seem like that have many drawbacks
Quick question. Im new so im starting to learn how these work. Can you get duplicate overclocks?
No you can not. Only one instances of each.
I’m not gonna lie I didn’t pay attention to the overclock mission, because of how many quests were in it lol if you can’t tell I am very lazy with this game
I'm sorry, bro, but every time i see your logo in the intro i think it's a nutsack. Great videos though!
Chapters would help, good video though 💜
only 10% are subbed to you watching and 90% aren't.... creepy
👍
My second deep dive was elite, it was fun but I think I was lucky
I was wondering can I unlock the over locks on my none rep dwarfs or do I have to get them with my rep dwarf only.
Good question! You can unlock overclocks on all class weapons so long as you have at least 1 class promoted!
Thank you very much.
I got a cosmetic from the assignment
The game has a running theme:
Blue, Red, Yellow, Green.
Where are the Blue Overclocks?
I would imagine Blue Overclocks being called "Cross Overclocks".
They would sacrifice capability of the weapon they are installed on... To give benefits to something unrelated to the overclocked weapon. For instance, it could improve base health/shield/speed/jump stats, other weapons/tools, pickaxe stats, basic flare stats, resistance to specific damage types, and benefit ratios from mining specific resources even.
The purpose of Cross Overclocks would be specialization... So they would be related to what each Class does and improving those roles at the expense of Primary/Secondary combat power.
For instance, the Gunner could have a Cross Overclocks for his Gatling/Minigun: Shield Alternator - Sacrifices the speed at which the gun spins up/stabilizes for a boost to shield regeneration while the gun is spinning. Obviously, giving up DPS would need to result in considerably improved tankiness, so the max shield might be increased as well. This would allow gunners to tank more damage.
Another aspect for a Cross Overclock like Shield Alternator is that it might circumvent certain mission mutators: Shield Disruption prevents most players from having shields, but the alternator might allow the shield to run as long as the gun is spinning. This would let the gunner get the shield, but also shield break mods from his armor and become a real menace in CQC.
Another Cross Overclock might give the Scout a Pheromone Emitter that gives him stronger aggro (longer ranged) than normal. This would allow the scout to more effectively kite enemies. It could even be targeted towards larger enemies so the scout could focus on distraction of heavy hitters. As to what the scout would need to give up for this, I am not sure... Although using an overclock slot for it might already be considered a sacrifice.
I just hate that overclocks are rng based.... I have fuckin twelve of them for classes i dont even use..... I use driller only, works best for me cuz i play solo a lot of the time, and its REALLY fuckin annoying when i get an overclock for shit i dont use.... Why cant they just give them to the class we are using? So it kinda forces you to try out new classes eventually? The rng thing is annoying honestly.... It would be like payday 2 when you get a mod for a gun you dont or cant even use cuz you cant afford it yet, yea i know c coins but what if you aint level 80 yet?
Try the other classes then. Trust me, it’s quite fun using all 4 classes; they all have their strengths and quirks to them. If anything, try finding at least your 2 favourite dwarfs to use.
Just got my first overclock and it was fat boy
NIICCEEE!
First
what the hell is a blank core!!!!
Overclocks are way to hard to get. The game has some very cool overclocks but unless you play all the time you will not see most of them before you grow tired of the game and move on.
you are right, that's why this game is the only game i've ever used save-scumming.
Minors?!!!
don't ask for subs before you haven't proved why people should sub especially having a timer I'm leaving the video and marking your channel as never show again
