Best Gk2 Build – Deep Rock Galactic
The Deepcore Gk2 is the Scout’s default weapon. It’s a balanced tool that’s good at long range and at close and mid ranges. With the modifications, there are a few ways you can change this weapon to make it better and suit your playstyle.
A good build for general purposes includes the following modifications:
Tier 1: Supercharged Feed Mechanism (+2 rate of fire)

Tier 3: High Capacity Magazine (+10 Magazine Size)
Tier 4: Hollow Point Bullets (+20% Weakpoint Bonus)
Tier 5: Stun (+30% chance to stun on Weakpoint hit). Battle Frenzy (After killing an enemy, gain +50% Movement Speed for 2.5 seconds) is also cool, but since we equipped Hollow Point Bullets, Stun fits better.

Overclock: Most overclock options are viable on this weapon, so you should choose the one that feels truest to your preferred playstyle. Compact Ammo is a good default in case you don’t feel like experimenting much.
Now, if you wish to deal damage, you could change Tier 2 to Increased Calibre Rounds and Tier 3 to Improved Propellent. You can also switch Stun for Battle Frenzy if you’re in a mission that demands both damage and speed.
You might also want to test Bullets of Mercy, Overclocked Firing Mechanism, or AI Stability Engine for those types of high-damaged builds.
Good scouting!
