High Burst Output: Doubles your base ranged damage instantly upon selection.
Fire Rate Scaling: Level 3 upgrade doubles your attack speed, melting tough swarm enemies.
Cost Efficiency: At only 5,000 Cores, it offers near S-tier ranged DPS potential for a fraction of the price.
Combat Mechanics and Ammo Management Strategy
To get the absolute most out of the drill to earth’s core gunslinger class, you must adapt your playstyle around its primary weakness: ammunition dependency. Because your DPS relies heavily on continuous shooting, running dry in the middle of a subterranean cavern will leave you vulnerable.
Experienced runners recommend pairing your ranged attacks with active crowd control to group enemies together before unleashing high-speed volleys. Here is a quick step-by-step approach to managing your runs effectively:
Secure Ammo Sources: Always track enemy spawn points to ensure you collect dropped ammunition immediately after clearing a mob.
Prioritize Level 3 Upgrade: Spend your initial underground earnings upgrading the class to Level 3 to unlock the massive 100% firing speed bonus.
Position Behind Tanks: Let teammates draw initial aggro in tight corridors so you can fire uninterrupted without taking unnecessary melee damage.
Tip
Keep an eye on the Class Shop rotation (which refreshes every 12 hours) if you are trying to acquire complementary support classes like the Priest or Gunsmith to cover your ammo and healing needs during long co-op sessions.
