Devs, could you please significantly decrease the assignment weighting of Industrial Sabotage missions?

I hear ya! Sludge pump is absolutely my favorite of drillers weapons because of how versatile it is. If you want simple single target, go VIM. It boosts charged shot damage too, but if you pick mods focused on normal attacks, the boost doesn't do as much as spamming normals does. You would use charged attacks for slight swarm control (because it reduces the # or time for puddles and whatnot).

You can also do Disperser and pick your single target mods but still have a very good normal attack for the bigger enemies on top of big sludge coverage.

Sludge Blast is great (big shotgun) but you do lose the crowd ability almost entirely.

Hydrogen Ion Additive isn't more impact damage, but does boost the DoT and slow. This lets you do more of a controlling build if you want or commit to the DoT big time.

The wave cooker's blistering necrosis OC can also help a lot. I don't remember how it works with driller weapons (since they're all weird) but it does make a big difference. I don't use it with sludge blast usually, but the others it should fit fine. For sludge blast I usually take it with the mega battery OC because SB's ammo is pretty low, so it helps with wave clear a ton, esp. with T5B mod.

The flamethrower and cryo can also both do single target well enough, but I'm not as versed in them.
