— Weapon description

The Arc-Tek Cryo Guard is one of the weapons available to the Scout in DRG Survivor. It is unlocked by reaching Rank 15 on the Scout.

Weapon Mechanics and Interactions

  • Disposable Tech: This Overclock causes drones to explode at the end of their lifetime, knocking back and dealing 200% damage. Each explosion leaves a pool on the ground which deals ticking [COLD] damage scaling with the damage stat of the weapon.
  • Disposable Tech also inverts the effect of lifetime upgrades, making them shorten the lifetime of the drone instead of lengthening it and resulting in more explosions and more ground zones. Additionally, lifetime upgrades will increase the duration of the ground zones, making lifetime a very strong stat if you are running Disposable Tech on your drones.
  • Disposable Tech pairs very well with the "Personal Space Invaders" Overclock, which adds additional drones and makes them all orbit much closer to the player - this means that anything nearby will be hit by the explosions from most or all of the drones around you, which will obliterate most targets and will apply Frozen to any survivors.
