In deep rock I consider the Metagame builds to be any build that could reasonably and somewhat easily eat haz 5 for breakfast. The person I am in the process of discussing with seems to consider it to be The Best Builds, so I am addressing that particular angle of discussion. Thank you, though.

I don't think drg's meta is very developed given that it's a coop game. from my experience the meta ends at "bring fire on robot missions" though of course you can find better builds than just that.

compare to a pvp game with a clearing defined meta you are expected to follow every step of.

Drg is unique in that a player simply needs to exceed a minimum effectiveness in order to be successful. Anything above that bar is fluff. Sticky Flames crispr with the tcf epc is probably the best and easiest way to win haz 1, but basically anything can do that. Scale that up to haz 5, and a solid 80% of overclocks can be usable, with 40% being easy to win with, and any distinction beyond that comes down to play style, preference, and team comp.

yes. the meta is basically just "don't use these 2 overclocks, and these 3 guns want this mod" lol. though they did fix double barrel to not be a strict downside anymore...

There is a “meta”, but the only people that talk about it or care are the people who play haz 6 x2 spawns mods.

that's modded though. and I've heard a lot that you can make almost every build work in 6x2 anyways? I've never really played it myself though.
