The Corrosive Sludge Pump is what happens when the maintenance staff are left with too much time on their hands. A complicated network of piping, distillation bottles, and safety valves results in a very capable device indeed - lobbing globs of toxic waste at those you disapprove of has never been so fun!

— Item Description

The Corrosive Sludge Pump is an unlockable primary weapon for the Driller. It is a large sludge dispenser that fires corrosive sludge, capable of melting enemies. It consists of a number of pipes and valves wrapped around a fuel tank with a nozzle.

The Sludge Pump has two firing modes; Tapping the fire button will fire a single fragment of sludge whereas holding the fire button and releasing will fire a sludge bomb that causes several fragments to fly out upon impact.

When a corrosive projectile impacts an enemy, that enemy becomes visibly coated with sludge and takes damage over time (DoT). When the projectile impacts a surface, it creates a corrosive puddle that causes DoT to any enemy walking over it, along with slowing them down.

Modifications

There are five tiers of modifications and each tier has two to three upgrades. Only one modification can be equipped per tier.

Stats breakdown

Understanding the Weapon

  • Damage is how much damage is dealt upon direct impact of an uncharged shot.
  • Charged Area Damage is how much damage is dealt within the damage radius around the impact of a charged shot.
  • Charged Fragment Damage is how much damage is dealt by each fragment spawned by a charged shot.
  • Charged Fragment Count is the amount of fragments spawned by a charged shot.
  • Effects Duration is the amount of time in seconds that corrosion affects an enemy when it is directly impacted by a corrosive projectile
  • Puddle Lifespan is the amount of time in seconds that a corrosive puddle persists after a corrosive projectile lands on surface

Corrosion Mechanics

Enemies hit directly or cought within the splash radius of the sludge projectiles have a 100% chance to be applied with Corrosion. (Note: Enemies walking through a corrosive puddle does not apply/refresh this effect.)

  • Damage (per tick): 5
  • Damage Type: 100% Corrosive
  • Tick interval: 0.2-0.3s

    • Normal diameter: 1.2 meters
    • Charged diameter: 2.4 meters
      • Air Sensitive Compound increases both normal and charged shot puddle diameter by 25% to 1.5 meters and 3 meters respectively

    • Additional Damage (per tick): 12 Fire
    • Heat (per tick): 12°
    • Tick Interval: 0.5-1.0s

Unique Modifications

Unique Overclocks

Goo Bomber Special

Frame Overclock Unstable
Icon Upgrade Special

Charged Shots now drop their Fragments straight down while flying, instead of upon impact. Every Fragment dropped reduces the damage of the main projectile. After every Fragment has been dropped, the main projectile is destroyed.

Sludge Blast

Frame Overclock Unstable
Icon Upgrade Shotgun Blast

Changes the Charged Shot into a shotgun-like blast of the Fragments instead of a larger projectile. Fragments use the Charged Shot's damage instead. Charge Shots are also launched at a 3° angle instead of the normal 9° angle.

Mastery

Each modification that is purchased advances a mastery bar by one unit.

Mastery unlocks:

  • Three modifications – First Stripe Weapon Paintjob Icon Skin First Stripe
  • Seven modifications – Deepcore Weapon Paintjob Icon Skin Deepcore
  • All modifications – The Company Special Weapon Paintjob Icon Skin The Company Special

Trivia

  • The Corrosive Sludge Pump's weapon prototype used the Platform Gun model and its goo blobs more closely resembled the goo generated by Goo Sacks.
