— Weapon description

The Colette Wave Cooker is one of the weapons available to the Driller in DRG Survivor. It is unlocked by reaching Class Rank 6 on the Driller.

As a [BEAM] weapon, the Colette Wave Cooker is capable of firing a wide cone towards groups of bugs, hitting them with direct [FIRE] damage and applying 24 stacks of Burn per second. The weapon's cone rotates slowly when tracking its targets, but immediately sets its angle to the closest bug after a reload. This weapon is capable of piercing an unlimited number of bugs inside its cone, and it can fire through terrain without penalty. The most notable strength of this weapon comes from its high potency combined with its wide beam, allowing it to set large groups of bugs on fire for high DoT potential. Because of this, it is the perfect weapon for the Interrogator Class Mod, who already grants doubled effects on DoT as a whole, but other classes can still gain great benefits from this weapon.

Careful considerations include the Wave Cooker's slow reloading speed and rotation speed. The weapon struggles at picking targets, so its slow reaction time may force the survivor to reposition themselves in order to help the weapon hit its targets. This can be improved with the Better Ball Bearings Overclock, which doubles its rotation speed and gives the weapon more reactivity.
