[wraith shard]

agony

misery

[woeful patrol]

Oh the misery

[wraith shard]

magma core actually worst biome

I'd rather have shield disruption sabo than play magma core

[quiet mortar]

Why not have both?

[wraith shard]

🥹

[woeful patrol]

Imagine the last one is both

[wraith shard]

that would be very not nice

but seeing peoples reactions would be pretty funny

[woeful patrol]

Indeed

[thorn jewel]

fuck it, sabo shield disrupt magma core

with a dozer secondary or something

[fast stratus]

Dozer can't be secondary

[thorn jewel]

idk how much worse you can make it tbh

[wraith shard]

I'd actually rather play sabo than escort tbh

[thorn jewel]

(I know)

[woeful patrol]

Escort lethal enemies magma core

[waxen terrace]

did gsg guarantee a sabo every DD this time??

[thorn jewel]

shield disruption lethal enemies magma core is also annoying

[hollow citrus]

dd1 hiveguard and regular

[thorn jewel]

no matter the type of mission

[quiet mortar]

Nah we got 2 weeks without it in a row lmao

[hoary wren]

I hope they add the lithophage cleaning objectives in deep dives too

[quiet mortar]

Assuming they treat it like Sabotage, good chance for Season 5

[wraith shard]

I hope we get shield disruption lethal enemies 5.5

[sly kettle]

It might end up as a side objective, tbh.

[woeful patrol]

Please no

[hoary wren]

That'd be nice

[woeful patrol]

Rockpox swarm haz 5.5 lethal enemies 💀

[hoary wren]

Add in low O2 as well

[hollow citrus]

dd1 hiveguard, regular + 2 eggs no modifiers

[woeful patrol]

[frozen quest]

what's the problem?

[sly kettle]

Industrial Sabotage.

[hollow citrus]

dd2 2 mules 2eggs regen bugs

[fast stratus]

A lot of people really hate sabo. I personally don't get it, sabo is one of my favorite mission types

[frozen quest]

it's the hardest mode beside that insane zergrush on aqua, guess that's why they hate it

[hoary wren]

It's monotonous tbf

[fast stratus]

Not more monotonous than any other mission imo

[hoary wren]

Wish the boss had some new moves

[mellow pawn]

i started liking sabo since start of season 3, since more people had to play it now, so lobbies are a lot more competent

also robot nerf

[fast stratus]

Sabo kinda dropped in s3 for me, since they absolutely lobotomized the bots

Actual flying grunts

[woeful patrol]

The DD seems pretty easy

[hoary wren]

Honestly tho I prefer sabo over escort duty

[sage harbor]

I hate how it takes those whole cryo cannons fuel supply to "freeze" a robot arm

[mellow pawn]

it was better than escort even before for me, but now its really far ahead imo

[frozen quest]

Sabotage is either chill af or you have 3 dead mates while fighting 8 caretaker arms, 3 control bots, deal with turrets and snowstorm, with no o2 and caretaker spamming nades

[hollow citrus]

there is a ghost leech on stage

2

it is floating in the air menacingly

[hoary wren]

Wym

Oh damn

[woeful patrol]

Hey

[zenith ember]

O dayum it started?

[hoary wren]

Twins + Dreadnaught, 2 Mini-Mules, Elite Threat on DD Stage 3

[outer bloom]

I think the problem with Sabo is it just occurs way too much in the deep dives.

This is the 11th week since the update added them to the rotation, and there have now been 11 instances of Industrial Sabotage (in 9 out of 11 of the weeks). IMO that’s just excessive.

[woeful patrol]

Fuck twins

[quiet mortar]

Well, now we've gotten the Normal DD done, who's volunteering for the Elite? Lmao

[trail bone]

Not even imo at that point there's too damn many

[wraith shard]

twins is the best dread

by far

most interesting

and fun

[woeful patrol]

I hate them

[hoary wren]

Twins is most fun, Hiveguard most unfun

Imo

Cus sentinels

[zenith ember]

Now if only people learn their mechanics instead of focusing on just the lacerator

[woeful patrol]

I'm killing the lacerator first no matter what 🗿

[wraith shard]

greenbeard moment

[zenith ember]

Sure, but making them heal 4x isnt cool

[sage harbor]

Its not even the healing that is the bad part. The armor regen in annoying.

[fast stratus]

Hive guard most unfun because it's such a cakewalk

[hoary wren]

Normal DD is just a big elim mission this time lol

[zenith ember]

This too yeah

[nova hearth]

EDD Stage 2 is 6 eggs, 1 dreadnought, low O2

[woeful patrol]

[waxen terrace]

that looks ok

[woeful patrol]

Too much Dreadnought

[hollow citrus]

dd3 2 dreads 2 mules elite threat

[sly kettle]

What was the Dreadnaught in Stage 1

[cobalt moat]

EDD Dread is Twins

[woeful patrol]

Nooooooooo

[wraith shard]

based

[woeful patrol]

Another Data Rack Twins EDD

[cobalt moat]

xD, it's fine

[woeful patrol]

I swear to Karl, if the EDD stage 3 is Sabo

[hoary wren]

Atleast no escort duty

[jaunty crag]

Any sabotage on this week’s deep dives?

[woeful patrol]

None

[sly kettle]

We don't know EDD stage 3 yet.

[waxen terrace]

its gonna be elim with sabo secondary

[jaunty crag]

Darn

[hoary wren]

EDD stage 1

[zenith ember]

Thats prob alright

[nova hearth]

edd stage 2 dreadnought is glyphid dreadnought

[hoary wren]

Not too bad

Def escort or sabo on stage 3

[woeful patrol]

Shut

[sly kettle]

At least I am glad it's not my Driller week this week. Fighting dreadnaughts and caretakers and whatnot is such a hassle.

[wraith shard]

driller week?

[sly kettle]

I alternative which classes I do deep dives with.

Last week was driller week.

Is Scout week this week.

[woeful patrol]

Scout in this economy ?

[hoary wren]

Just realised edd is in magma core. Hopefully caretaker is in a nice spot and not just another the floor is lava

[south oak]

@wraith shard EDD solo or duo or full team?

[wraith shard]

might see if explode wants to play

it will be late tho

[south oak]

Explode is playing.

[wraith shard]

when

[south oak]

oh wait

my bad

just Goblin.

[wraith shard]

they don't do EDD

[south oak]

hmm

maybe

Lets see if I can make it or not.
For the time being.

[wraith shard]

low o2 eggs is omega cringers

[hollow citrus]

hiveguard + magma = floor is lava

[swift nova]

Low oxy point extraction is even worse

[hoary wren]

Atleast there's a fixed place to get o2

[waxen terrace]

4 scout run

[woeful patrol]

Did our friend died in the EDD stage 2 ?

[hoary wren]

Lmao

[cobalt moat]

EDD Stage 3: Sabo / 150 Morkite / Mactera Plague

[candid bobcat]

i hope ur not serious

[cobalt moat]

I'm serious xd

[woeful patrol]

Stop trolling

[wraith shard]

lmao

please be real

screenshot your game

[woeful patrol]

I mean, if you insist

[hoary wren]

No way💀

That'd be hilarious

[woeful patrol]

Please no

I can't

[candid bobcat]

hold on im checking this myself in sandbox

[wraith shard]

he wasnt lying

[candid bobcat]

i don't believe this

[wraith shard]

it actually is sabo mactera plague

[candid bobcat]

no way

[wraith shard]

lmao

the best part is the mactera spawn during the boss

[woeful patrol]

💀

[hoary wren]

Lmao macteras+drones and shredders

Bliss

[woeful patrol]

Stop, this can't be real

[candid bobcat]

im convinced y'all trolling

[woeful patrol]

They are

[wraith shard]

he sent me the proof

[candid bobcat]

i want it to be trolling, but double sabo is possible so

[hoary wren]

Post in #drg-gallery

[woeful patrol]

Would explain why we didn't get it in the DD

[wraith shard]

https://imgur.com/9qNU7Nr

lol

[woeful patrol]

💀💀💀💀💀

[hoary wren]

LMAO

[swift nova]

Oh no

[sly kettle]

Well.. have fun everyone?

[wraith shard]

and magma core

[candid bobcat]

wait where code name

[wraith shard]

xD

[candid bobcat]

this screenshot is partial

[woeful patrol]

Karl, please, give me your strength, I need that cosmetic core

[hollow citrus]

could it be

[hoary wren]

How's my man on 0 morkite after 40 mins

[hollow citrus]

the fabled double sabo week is here

[hoary wren]

Hmm

[nova hearth]

can confirm, EDD stage 3 is Industrial Sabotage, 150 morkite, mactera plague

[woeful patrol]

💀💀💀💀💀

[wraith shard]

pub EDD's gonna be fun

[hoary wren]

😭

[sly kettle]

Sweet, sweet suffering.

[hoary wren]

I only play pub

[wraith shard]

I have my own competent friend group tho so its guchi

[hoary wren]

Fun times

[nova hearth]

godspeed to all miners attempting this week's EDD

[hollow citrus]

especially with pubs

[woeful patrol]

Ain't no way this is real

[hollow citrus]

oh god

[woeful patrol]

I'm gonna stick to solo

Like always

[wraith shard]

I'll double gunner with my mate ez

[hoary wren]

I'll play pub with bronze 1s (I hope not)

[waxen terrace]

he morked all over the place

[subtle burrow]

its real 😄

[woeful patrol]

Thanks for reminding me 💀

[wraith shard]

THE MACTERA PLAGGUEEEE, THE MACTERA PLAGUE IS REEAALLLLLL

[woeful patrol]

The one piece

[cobalt moat]

xD we literally begun the stage

[fast stratus]

Holy based double sabo

[grave jacinth]

Gonna be a weird dive

[zenith ember]

wow amazing 3rd stage

[hollow citrus]

imagine a week with sabo escort sabo

[wraith shard]

not as bad as escort sabo escort

[hollow citrus]

GSG: write that down! write that down!

[subtle burrow]

lies, its finished

[hoary wren]

Was it as terrible as it sounds?

[subtle burrow]

it was unpleasant, but managable

[wraith shard]

5.5 mactera plague lol

[south oak]

hah

funni

[brazen musk]

That EDD really doesn't look fun

[south oak]

second stage doesn't

[open warren]

Oof
2 sabotages within one edd

[brazen musk]

I have skipped so many of them lately

[gray hemlock]

ain’t no way

double sabo in edd

[wraith shard]

Time to kill some bots

[open warren]

I was originaly plannin on having this as my first edd, but nope

[gray hemlock]

Two dreads and two caretakers in this edd

Better bring your single target shit

[wraith shard]

leadstorm leadspray incoming

[hoary wren]

Do it

[south oak]

big oof

[brazen musk]

Sabotage really needs adjustments the way it's been shoved down our throats. It's not a bad mission imo, but not a routine mission

[hoary wren]

You'll find future edds easier

[south oak]

stage 2 is frikin massive

gl

and that breeder

chilling around

[plucky bane]

||deep dive looks hard this week it's gonna be a lot of fun||

[nova hearth]

stage 2 has a lot of verticality

and no "safe" way to get down to the lower levels as far as i remember

[south oak]

there isn't LOL

your only way is to zip or drill down or platform jump

[hoary wren]

Feels pointless to bring aoe loadout on this one

[nova hearth]

just had to make my own landing pad as engi and landed right next to a spitballer

[south oak]

good luck getting back up for that drop pod LOL

[hoary wren]

It's all dreadnoughts and bots

[gray hemlock]

and then there’s eggs

[hoary wren]

True

[gray hemlock]

I think the strat is use something with high ammo and blow through and just dump mag after mag into caretaker

and the egg swarms

[brazen musk]

CBT

[golden vale]

we've had the double. now we need to see the triple sabo

[brazen musk]

...

[wraith shard]

not actually possible

[golden vale]

oh so sequential missions can't be the same or no three same mission?

[brazen musk]

I wish it was, so that everyone gets sick of it and asks for changes

[gray hemlock]

everyone is already sick of it and has asked for changes

[honest root]

I forgot the second mission on the deep dive I'm so dumb even though I completed it solo as gunner

[brazen musk]

...

[wraith shard]

sabo copists in chat

[brazen musk]

well then

[hoary wren]

Imagine if meteor strikes were in EDDs and they just come in and fuck up the terrain for caretaker fights. Wouldn't that be fun?

[radiant halo]

IN FUCKING MAGMA CORE TOO ARE YOU KIDDINGGGGG

[hollow citrus]

caretaker fight just feels hectic

[brazen musk]

The sniper turrets are not fun, considering they are encased and until they get out of the case they're immune

[hollow citrus]

if they toned down the respawning tentacles, bots or turrets it would be so much less annoying

yeah, it's not fun getting sniped, bombed and shot by tentacles simultaneously

no wonder the hide strats are so popular

[honest root]

Just read the deep dives those are cancerous

[hoary wren]

You can hide? I thought teleporting bombs could reach anywhere

[brazen musk]

I have several ideas on how it can be reworked, because the way it is right now is not it

[hollow citrus]

hiding blocks turrets, and tentacles take a while to reach you. so you only have to worry about sidestepping the bombs

[hoary wren]

They once took me out on the ceiling when I was trying to throw c4

[nova hearth]

engis can make platform roofs to block the melee attacks

[steel python]

Okay, I was considering the EDD this week because I like magma core pain, but I think I'll pass this week lmao

But, for those of you who want something to go for the DD

[wraith shard]

no such thing as passing, you must complete every EDD no matter what it is

[steel python]

It's got the most MUSHRUMS in the first stage

There was like five or six MUSHRUMS in just the spawn room

So you can get your fix before starting for real

[south oak]

gosh

I wish

it was "Sabo x Elim x Sabo" in the cursed magmaland.

then "Dread x Egg x Dread" for the secondaries

[steel python]

At least the DD swaps between just three objectives lul

And no sabo

[plucky bane]

Code name: True Joy

[brazen musk]

Dives are fun until there is sabo

[plucky bane]

I would be fine with sabo if it was just the most

boss

[brazen musk]

Sabo needs to be shelved in a monthly assignment

It actually is fun in small doses

[plucky bane]

can't wait to spend 2 hours on the EDD

[steel python]

Management wanted to spare us so they made the DD have no sabo in exchange of making the EDD have two

[buoyant wing]

"why don't we take the caretaker and push it somewhere else?"

lmfao

[radiant halo]

if the rivals were pushed back why do we still have to deal with the caretaker fr!!?

[burnt sandal]

pushed back doesn't mean they're gone

[radiant halo]

you would think they're less frequent though

[brazen musk]

They are pushed back, but it's not well implemented as it is

[hollow citrus]

how long did GSG take to rework escort? I heard they shortened it significantly compared to release

[brazen musk]

Only thing I hear is they removed length 3 escorts from dives

[burnt sandal]

they only removed the 2 stops escort from DD, and made some minor changes to nitra spawn and oil shale amount/generation/gathering speed

there never really was a "rework", just balance stuff

[hollow citrus]

oh I guess we're stuck with this shitty mission forever then

woop de doo

[wraith shard]

sounds like skill issue

[brazen musk]

Thank the lord for hazard 1

Not on deep dives though

[plucky bane]

real gamers only play haz 7

[wraith shard]

real and true

[grim glacier]

six dreadnoughts

sabo sabo

its time

[plucky bane]

sob

[grim glacier]

the rock and stone mettle will be tested today

[lime meteor]

Lmfao ain't no way we actually got double industrial sabotage in edd

It happened way earlier then I thought

reddits gonna complain so hard

[grim glacier]

we got the most arduous deep dives this week, both difficulties

lezduit

the twins in EDD stage 1 can be instagibbed by the caretaker death explosion so that makes things slightly easier

[shut plover]

it being in magma also makes me sad but oh well

[tall canopy]

two industrial sabotages wtf

[hoary wren]

The devs are live on twitch. Time to watch them suffer on double sabo

[grim glacier]

lmao

[burnt sandal]

tomorrow

the elite deep dives is done in Friday

[hoary wren]

Sweet. Never caught them live before

[lost jungle]

yoo

we got a double sabo

great job GSG what happened to sabo not getting any more special treatment

[lost jungle]

💀💀💀💀💀💀

[wraith shard]

sabo haters seething rn

[lime meteor]

"the rivals have been pushed back"🗿

[lost jungle]

"sabotage wont be receiving any more special treatment"

meanwhile:

[lime meteor]

every promo assignment having sabotage is kekw moment

[grim glacier]

how do the rivals have so many vaults

[woeful patrol]

Let see if the devs change their mind tomorrow

[lost jungle]

too late now

[lime meteor]

Eh not like sabo is that bad like people make it to be

[grim glacier]

i want to run this EDD it will be a fun challenge

[lime meteor]

it takes 20-25 mins

[lost jungle]

its just fucking boring

timegated as fuck

[woeful patrol]

It's not that bad, just, it's almost always here

[lost jungle]

i could literally finish a haz6x2 salvage in the time it takes me to do a haz5 sabo

🗿

[grim glacier]

thinking about engi loadouts for this one

[lime meteor]

hyper prop

or shard

[grim glacier]

hyperprop might actually be more worth over overdrive shard for this one

[lost jungle]

exec

[grim glacier]

but eggs

[lime meteor]

bullet curve

[tardy solar]

Fat boy

[dense siren]

If they made sabotage only one hacking station do you think people would like it more?

[grim glacier]

yes

[dense siren]

I dread these missions so much 😦

[grim glacier]

i enjoy the difficulty

not going to hate on sabo because its long, still a work of love

[charred scroll]

i like the boss itself but the power stations are so boring to do

[lost jungle]

cave gen is wildly inconsistent

[outer bloom]

I think sabotage would be more enjoyable if there was a way to skip armor phases on the Caretaker. You can do it on every Dreadnought, why not the Caretaker?

[dark schooner]

What the hell drg

Is this for the liquid morkite thing

[rough dawn]

rather, i think the hacking stations be more engaging in general, and end sooner in exchange for being more difficult.

like, it would be neat if the way to complete it was to run back to the shield to do a hacking minigame while swarms are popping up all around you. split up the group so some defense hack-c while the others go to deal with the shield.

instead, you just kinda… sit there. and shoot bugs. for like, two minutes.

[dark schooner]

Then do it again

But this week you do it 4 times

[rough dawn]

[dark schooner]

In edd anyway

It’s double sabo in edd

[rough dawn]

[dark schooner]

Check the subreddit if you don’t believe me

[rough dawn]

wait this week’s dd’s are out already?

[dark schooner]

Yeah it’s Thursday

[rough dawn]

how the time flies..

i was gonna go to bed but im not even a little tired

might run the deep dives rq before i sleep

[dark schooner]

And how this week shortens my lifespan

It’s looking bad

[rough dawn]

its all about the company you keep

sorrow becomes comforting when it is shared

[dark schooner]

The double dreads in the dd?

[rough dawn]

double dreads is kinda stinky

[dark schooner]

Yea I’ll share with them

[rough dawn]

sometimes i wonder if gsg personally puts together deep dives

or if theyre random every week and beyond their control

no way anyone thought a double dread and a double sabo in deep dives was a good plan

breh

[dark schooner]

If so is this punishment

What’s next? a lethal enemies shield disruption sabo

[wraith shard]

I hope so

[dark schooner]

No you don’t

[rough dawn]

lethal shield disruption w/ 3 Twin Dreadnoughts + Sabo

and exploder infestation, because reasons

[wraith shard]

we've had stage 2 sabo with exploders in recent times

like about 9 weeks ago or smthn

[hollow citrus]

the gunner I just had brought neurotox to double sabo

genius

[wraith shard]

most intelligent gunner player

[lost jungle]

actually fucking insane

[nova hearth]

5Head gaming

[zenith ember]

tbf only ppl who roams discord knows whats going on

[rough dawn]

based

those sniper turrets won’t know what hit them

one time i made the mistake of bringing Turret Arc to a double sabo

[lost jungle]

exactly, because nothing will hit them

[grave narwhal]

Full EDD run: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJyfB-zJPng

[lean vine]

When will these industrial sabotage missions ever stop appearing in deep dives, like in general.

So sick of them.

[hollow citrus]

I ended up ditching that team and completed it with another

[vapid lily]

Aw man there’s ANOTHER industrial sabotage mission?

Is it both DDs or just one of the two

Oh god the elite DD has two

That’s stupid yeah

[limpid pond]

Glad I don't need Cores anymore

[hollow citrus]

I got every core shortly after s3 launched and im only doing these for fun now

[vale pier]

Why is the 2 industrial? Are we cursed? What have we done for about 2 months, give or take a week or 2?

[lone monolith]

the EDD this week is giving me ED

rngesus is a sonofabitch

[keen raptor]

didnt they say that the rival company were less active this season too

[chilly onyx]

Hahahaha, EDD looks so bad

At least the DD seems fun

[wraith shard]

https://imgur.com/oXYa8DL worst EDD of my life

I hate magma core I hate magma core I hate magma core

[copper cedar]

How does that help? I can't remember what neurotox does

[copper cedar]

Lmaoo 31 downs.

[wraith shard]

atleast 10 of the downs amongst us was friendly fire tho

leadburster goes HARD

and then scout and driller were trying to murder each other post stage 3 caretaker

[copper cedar]

As long as you finished it, you can laugh about it now

[wraith shard]

we got earthquake crevases under both hacking pods 💀💀💀💀

I hate magma core

it's worse than hollow bough idc what anyone says

[keen raptor]

man that EDD takes so long

[devout solstice]

Fuuuuck. Do I really want to do the EDD this week? 🤔

[burnt sandal]

of course

[devout solstice]

Shit yeah, you're right

[burnt sandal]

don't you wanna get bullied by the angry dorito twice in a row ?

you will suffer and you will like it !

[hollow citrus]

it reminds me of the Board from Control

[cunning thistle]

Ok no. no more sabo on EDD. I am sick of it

Next week gonna have 3 sabos at this pace

[devout solstice]

Made the spiderman glasses meme implying DRG = BDSM, just to realize I can't even post it here. Which, somehow, feels on-brand for the meme?

[burnt sandal]

thanks for "sharing" tho 🤣

[hollow citrus]

GSG: "understood. now there 2 sabos on the DD instead."

[vagrant heron]

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

[azure steppe]

hello developers at gsg. if you're reading this, nobody likes sabo in dives. nobody wants to play it. my edd team is dying from inactivity because it's too hard to find people who want to play it. it's not cool, it's not interesting, nobody is having fun. matrix cores are harder to obtain for newer players because they don't want to waste an hour of their lives by playing it either. there has never been a less fun time to play deep dives in the almost 2 years i've spent playing the game and this sentiment is shared by every other long term player i've talked to. please remove sabo from dives. thanks

[burnt sandal]

Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man

[unreal copper]

Sabo was actually the easy part of the EDD

I would have 3/3 sabo if I never see low o2 again

[brisk spear]

+the opinions of many others

[wraith shard]

sabo haters malding

[brisk spear]

Evidently a vocal minority but among most players I've asked, sabotage in deep dives is very much decreasing motivation to play them

[plucky bane]

next week it's gonna be 3 sabos with 3 secondory primary missions of sabo

[grim glacier]

have more sabo with your sabo

[slate stone]

double industrial sabotage, AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[limpid pond]

Any input from anyone on any social media is a "vocal minority". Less than 7% of people who own DRG have Bronze I on each dwarf. "You're just a minority!" is a given. I'm sure the complaints about Rival Tech (which got nerfed) were just a "vocal minority". I'm sure the complaints that Eliminations were repetitive with only one Dread type were just a "vocal minority".

Personally I don't think Sabos are nearly as hard as people say, but I think they're repetitive and could use some brushing up.

[hollow citrus]

before s3 I heard sabo was one of the least played mission types but I have no idea where that data is from

[burnt sandal]

from nowhere

there's absolutely no data to back this up

the devs know but they never shared any of it

[plucky bane]

how many people have promoted 1 or 2 dwarfs

[brisk spear]

Sabotage isn't really difficult its just repetitive, uninteresting, and its only made worse when its in every assignment and every deep dive. And to top it off, it doesn't even pay out any more than a regular mission. At least if you got more reward for playing it there would be some incentive but no

[wet cairn]

Dont you guys think that this week's usual deep dive is extra simple?

[grim glacier]

knowing GSG as they are now, theyll probably address Sabo in some shape or measure, but it wont be really soon

[hollow citrus]

the only tweak they made for s3 is to make the caves smaller

[limpid pond]

Movin' On Up is 25%, Corporate Climber is 11.7%

[hollow citrus]

wasn't sabo from s1? more than a year ago

[limpid pond]

Yeah

[grim glacier]

ill keep taking on the DDs and Sabos solo anyway, because playing solo is my therapeutic experience

[burnt sandal]

they've done it already

unless you mean something else ?

[grim glacier]

further changes

[burnt sandal]

like, what ?

[haughty harbor]

i hecking love playing the same mission over and over again

[grim glacier]

i cant say the specifics, mostly because i dont mind Sabo as it is now

but im simply guessing with reasonable probability that GSG might address Sabo further

my only gripe is how it shows up so often in DDs and assignments

[hollow citrus]

I would personally make hack-c hack faster. also rearrange the cave structure so that you encounter the 2 power stations before the caretaker, so there's much less backtracking.

[burnt sandal]

that's how RNG is

[burnt sandal]

hack-c got made faster already
good idea for the other change, I'm taking notes to pass them on later

[grim glacier]

yep! its probably my own stigma that fuels my gripe anyway

again, idm sabo, usually play solo and ill keep chugging along

[waxen verge]

As someone who likes sabo, why does it feel like it’s been in every edd so far

[grim glacier]

lets see the archive

[unreal copper]

Sabo is really dependent on bringing the right loadout. Other mission types are more forgiving. I suspect a lot of the hate comes from people who only play NTP or similar loadouts and refuse to ever switch

[wraith shard]

ntp sabo kekw

[sly vapor]

ntp kekw

[wraith shard]

TRUE

[trail pivot]

on god double sabotage

i needs a vacation

[grim glacier]

in the weeks since the launch of S3 on steam, sabo has appeared 6 times in EDDs

[sly vapor]

The best way to fix the ind sab is to just remove 1 generator...

[wraith shard]

honestly the double sabo isn't bad it's just magma core is so unimaginably fucking cringe

[hollow citrus]

also this is a general gripe, but the caretaker should probably have less respawning adds and less health overall

and yes magma makes everything worse

[grim glacier]

12 sabos in DDs total

[hollow citrus]

I love having hack-c fall into a earthquake crack

thanks game

[wraith shard]

LEGIT

[sly vapor]

The caretaker is fine as it is, the generators are the problem, too boring and slow

[waxen verge]

More than that, how can you justify playing ntp at all if it can result in instant mission loss if a nemesis/prospector can show up anytime

[river pawn]

how easy is this week's DD

[wraith shard]

caretaker itself is fine

[wraith shard]

regular DD very easy

EDD is massive suck tho

[river pawn]

can i do it 40 mins? i gotta go to work soon lol

[wraith shard]

yeah if u bring a goodbuild

[river pawn]

JFH time

[hollow citrus]

I wonder, is hack-c or the rockcrackers faster? cos the meteor event feels 10x better than hack-x

[river pawn]

rock crackers by far

the enemy spawns are way way more forgiving

[mortal plover]

ugh, two sabotage missions in the EDD. Super gross

[grim glacier]

defending hack-c is a lot less active work than maintaining rock-cracker pods

[limpid pond]

As someone who switches loadouts all the time, I'm bored of the ❌ No Cryo ❌ No radial AoE (ECR OK) ❌ No close range ⚠️ Must have Fat Boy or Max Damage Satchel requirements. It's a Driller main's nightmare.

[grim glacier]

i think thats an important bit

[hollow citrus]

true, enemies also like to spawn right next to hack-c as well which makes it even worse

[burnt sandal]

I bought cryo on IS last time, just to piss people off

and it worked perfectly, which was even funnier

[limpid pond]

You sound wonderful to play with

[grim glacier]

doesnt ice storm do some good work against the caretaker

[woeful niche]

ye it’s pretty solid

[plucky bane]

Fat Boy infinite ammo glitch working 2024

[waxen verge]

Cryo’s not as awful to play with anymore at least, how’s cooker with IS?

[woeful niche]

pretty bad for caretaker

[limpid pond]

The problem with Colette Wave Cooker is you're using Colette Wave Cooker

[burnt sandal]

I am ! Just ask people who played with me !

[plucky bane]

I love when I accidentally freeze teammates and place a satchel underneath them and hit the left click button by accident

[grim glacier]

by accident

[plucky bane]

yeah

[burnt sandal]

yeah it's good. Ice Spear is awesome too

[woeful niche]

considering the edd has dreads and sabo, i’d recommend explosive reload or just tcf

[burnt sandal]

ammo glitch ?

[grim glacier]

driller OCs are the last ones i need to get in majority, ill give those a shot

i really want ice spear

[hollow citrus]

does ifg work on caretaker?

nvm i think it doesnt

[waxen verge]

Come to think of it
2/3 primaries on gunner being aoe really guts his options with robots around
I now understand why I’ve been so okay with not playing gunner for the past 300 hours while i catch everyone else up

[grim glacier]

PB and JFH (and SM kinda) are single target options for Hurricane

[waxen verge]

JFH is one of my builds yes

I’ve played gunner with bots plenty of times, its just I’ve completely exhausted his build variety with bots in mind and now i just play with other classes

[grim glacier]

fair

[limpid pond]

3x Rival weakpoint bonus * 1.5x weakpoint bonus from Shrapnel Load = lol

[burnt sandal]

yes

[limpid pond]

Autocannon is an obvious no-no, frankly I feel Gunner's issue is Minigun never had variety in the first place. Hurricane gets a lot of options.

[burnt sandal]

Hurricane is a lot more gimmicky, which helps for variety

on the plus side, minigun is extremely versatile

[grim glacier]

i adore lead storm for its damage-up and silly naming

it becomes versatile by killing everything faster

go-to gunner

[wraith shard]

Leadstorm+leadspray

[limpid pond]

Minigun's viable builds are kinda just slight variations on Lead Storm or Burning Hell, and that doesn't really change with Sabo either

Most Minigun OCs are just stat shuffles, and Lead Storm is just the numerically superior one, so that blows out 4 of its OCs. Burning Hell offers something strong and unique. Bullet Hell is an ammo hungry gimmick. The gun really needs some touch ups.

Blowthroughs is a mandatory pick, Magnetic Bearings sucks, Aggressive Venting never pops off without modded Haz/Burning Hell, and then the gun in general gets trounced in both DPS and ammo efficiency by Hurricane of all things. Its defining trait of "destroy single targets so fast it's basically AoE" both relies on literal AoE (blowthroughs) and is outdone by Hurricane (an explosive weapon) anyway.

[woeful niche]

i mean its a common theme in general that the older guns have less transformative or unique ocs then the newer weapons. Devs said we would be getting new ocs for old guns a few updates ago, so I hope its still on their mind

[limpid pond]

I'd prefer if they scrapped/reworked the damage/ammo shuffles instead of just tossing more OCs onto the 4 month grind

[hazy lily]

Went into this weeks edd blind

What the fuck ghostship

[brisk spear]

my condolences

[hazy lily]

why are there two caretakers

i had a swarm clear build too

fucking hell

[dusky flint]

does everyone have to get in the pod in DDs for it to leave? tried to escape after everyone got downed and it didnt let me leave

[hazy lily]

If people have iw it doesn't iirc?

[brisk spear]

if someone has iron will (without having used it already) the pod won't leave

[dusky flint]

oh makes sense

mfs literally sitting there dead instead of IW running into pod

[unkempt saffron]

aye yo 2 sabos in edd imma bout to jump out of the space rig

[idle frigate]

This EDD looks fun

I have a reason to take Hyper Prop

[old widget]

if memory serves, it's kinda hard to stick IFG on caretaker because collision is wonky? does work though

[brisk spear]

its not that hard

[old widget]

seems like most of the time I've tried it, IFG passes through the body of the caretaker and sticks near floor

caretaker body definitely doesn't act like terrain

and IFG isn't coded to stick to enemies, only terrain

so it's hard to get the area of effect to cover a weakpoint

[brisk spear]

ive found that standing about on the edge of the caretaker platform and chucking it right at the eye usually gets it to pop as it collides with it

[old widget]

cool, good tip, will give it a whirl

[lime meteor]

Does ifg buff caretaker damage tho that's the real question

[old widget]

haven't tested it with something like damage numbers mod, but haven't seen an enemy yet where IFG doesn't work

[brisk spear]

it does

[lost jungle]

its more common than u think

[humble sage]

I always go in blind! That's what makes it so exciting ❤️

[wise jolt]

Yo, kinda new to this game. What are Deep Dives? Have not unlocked it yet. Thanks.

[brisk spear]

Deep Dives are a set of 3 missions back-to-back, your ammo, health, nitra, and gold are transferred over between stages.

Normal deep dive stages are difficulties 3 -> 3.5 -> 3.5

Elite deep dives are hazard 4.5 -> 5 -> 5.5

[wise jolt]

How does these compare to normal hazard games? Are they way harder?

[brisk spear]

For completing stage 1, you're awarded with a blank matrix core, for stage 2, a randomly infused weapon overclock, and stage 3, a randomly infused cosmetic core

[brisk spear]

Normal deep dives only go up to hazard 3.5, so they're pretty easy. Elite deep dives go up to hazard 5.5, which is the highest difficulty in the vanilla game

[old widget]

Not really way harder. they have two primary-like objectives instead of primary/secondary, which can sometimes make things more "interesting" (like, say, Point Extraction aquarqs + fighting dread). But there are also no distractions like machine events, random meteors, or other things which can complicate a mission.

[wise jolt]

Full team recommended on these?

[old widget]

like all DRG missions, difficulty of enemy spawns and damage scales, so not necessarily. but, y'know, it's a co-op game, so full team is always best 😉

[jolly obsidian]

Bro 2 data racks in magma core for an EDD wtf
Plus low oxygen in between

[brisk spear]

Depends, the enemy count + some of their stats scale depending on how many players there are

[wise jolt]

Ok, thanks for the info 🙂

[coral pond]

Yay more sabos

[south oak]

fr double sabo this time is even easier than the eggs with low O2

It just takes more time to do than usual.
Not like egg rushing.

[hoary wren]

EDD done on first try. Not exactly difficult, just tiring lol

2nd stage cave shape was wild

[lusty fiber]

Industrial sabotage again?

Damn

What week in a row

[dusky mauve]

2 x sabo in the EDD there is a god

[lusty fiber]

Can imagine it was long with 2 caretakers

I wish they could've cut one power generator maybe

At least it won't be as stretched out

[hoary wren]

Yeah. Even the non-caretaker stage took some time. Extremely vertical cave with not much nitra. Egg swarms+Dreadnaught not made easy at all cause of low O2 and frequent Magma Core tremors

[frozen quest]

nice crashing 2 times exactly after 5 seconds into EDD

nice crashing 4 times in a row

[twin nebula]

what are the new deep dive missions

[brisk spear]

#deep-dive-discussion message

[twin nebula]

thanks

[crystal tinsel]

How bad are this weeks dives? cause they seem pretty bad.

[jolly obsidian]

regular deep dive is easy yet to try the EDD

[crystal tinsel]

yeah but normal dive is always easy

[jolly obsidian]

at least the objectives arent too bad killing dreadnoughts is fun

not looking forward to double caretaker

[crystal tinsel]

yeah thats what im talking about it doesnt seem very fun

[tulip idol]

ice storm on top of the pyramid + 2 dmg-radius c4s is such an op strat lol

vents and likely eye get frozen and it just melts really fast

good against dreads as well

[hazy lily]

Edd isn't hard

Just

caretaker

[coral pond]

i love when people look at the caretaker complaints and just immediately think "it's not hard, play better" or some shit like that, as if difficulty was ever the complaint about it. It's not hard, never really was past like, the first 3 times doing it. It's just tiring doing so many back to back every week. I bet you now there's even one in the core hunt or the weekly priority assignment

[buoyant wing]

||not much of a bet, the only one is in the end of weekly core hunt||

[coral pond]

god fucking dammit

i have 2 promos as well, bet i'll do a caretaker in at least one of those. So with core hunt reset thingy, that's a minimum of 3 caretakers. And the 2 in the EDD if i choose to do it. So minimum of 5 caretakers this week for me, up to 7 if i get one in one or both the promos

such a great design

[lime meteor]

lol

it's one way to make neurotoxin gunners cry

Put their weakest mission in every assignment they do

[coral pond]

lmao. I prefer lsls+fearcoil tbh

tho at least driller is pretty fuckin good on caretaker so i got that goin for me

[royal magnet]

Lmao I joked last week that this week we'd probably get 2 caretakers 🤣

Someone said that was impossible 🤣

This week's there's actually two sabotage missions. Someone get me a psychic license

[versed hinge]

Bruh double caretaker 💀

[idle meteor]

the fuck?

BRO WHO TF PUT DOUBLE SABOTAGE ON A EDD WTF

[fast stratus]

It was me

[tardy girder]

really glad that i stopped doing DDs once i got all the weapon OCs because double sabo does not seem fun

[open warren]

Iirc deep dives are made randomly, and only in case of a new mission type being customised

[idle meteor]

yeak ik but still

[lofty parrot]

Waiting for the triple

[tardy girder]

triple sabo sounds awful, do not will that into existence

[cosmic elk]

double caretaker and o2 in the middle combined with the worst cave gen and magma core I've seen

1 hour and 15 minutes bois, I highly recommend

[lime meteor]

You can get double of any mission on a DD but not triple

it will always not be back to back so if you do get a double(example mining expedition) t's gonna be

1: mining
2: (any mission that's not mining)
3: mining

[cosmic elk]

I wonder if deep dives are randomly generated or if they are picked manually

I mean it does require an update

[brisk spear]

theyre randomly generated

[opal minnow]

It doesn’t require a game update.

[cosmic elk]

ah interesting, because last week I had an issue where the "new assignment" and deepdive went into negative digits (when I waited for it) and I couldn't select em, then after closing the game and updating it worked out fine

[opaque imp]

this EDD was quite trying in difficulty and teamwork. not only being really frugal with resups made tension high between teammates, getting 7 bulks (4 in stage 1, 2 in stage 2 and 1 in stage 3) was also really stringent on ammo. honestly, it made the game emotionally draining since the stress made the team kinda toxic

[autumn robin]

Question for Gunner Mains, when using the Coilgun on DD (or even EDD), do you prefer Mole or Triple Beam?

Which OC gives the best overall versatility to the team for any mission during them.

[unreal copper]

Being frugal with ammo is bad. No point giving yourself a hard time so that you save 400 nitra for the way home

[opaque imp]

no we had 35 nitra at the end of stage 3

[autumn robin]

Sounds like a rough EDD

That's like 3 resups per mission

[torn verge]

lmao double sabo

two

sabo

[unreal copper]

We had like 4 resups for the final caretaker despite dropping them liberally in the first 2 missions

scout must have been slacking

[opaque imp]

they were like "i hate scout and i dont do dmg"
then i told them they shouldve said something
and i wouldve taken it instead and I got called elitist because i play it a lot and got to leg 3

oh well but that run hurt my brain and will to continue playing for a while ;-;

[zenith ember]

Wait the edd has bulks? It didnt spawn any when i was doing them

But that 2nd cave gen was horrible regardless of what class is being played

[thorn jewel]

Bulks arent a guaranteed spawn, more like rng did not favor that person’s run

I personally think bulks are more ammo efficient than the half-wave they replace

Just comes with the caveat of “oh yeah they also fuck up terrain and you if you close”

[zenith ember]

Oh i see, learnt something new today

[torn kayak]

double caretaker was such a surprise

[torn kayak]

i mean the second mission was sooo scout reliant that we were all useless (cuz most eggs were at hi elevation onto a huge ravine. dont know why they complained with scout not doing dmg

[marble gull]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1050859801552359475/1063264589753618492/image.png

got really lucky with cave gens and lack of oppressors and such

nothing too stupid

[candid dagger]

curious, is there any advantage of edd over dd? like, does it give more rewards? are you able to get rewards from both dd and edd? or is it just a harder dd?

[coral pond]

you get cores from both the dd and edd

[candid dagger]

oh so i can do the dd and then the edd and get 6 cores?

[coral pond]

mhm

edd is harder too

[candid dagger]

oh awesome

[uncut creek]

HOLY SHIT THATS A SCARY EDD

ill be back once im done with both

[past pier]

I just unlocked DDs, and thought I would do one for fun.
Little did I know, but DDs are six runs in one.

[uncut creek]

congrats on promoting a dwarf, witch one did you promote.

[past pier]

miner

YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!

Elimination, Salvage, and now another elimination... (which the secondary is salvage)

and this one is elite threat...

[wraith shard]

I literally saw one elite enemy during the entire elite threat stage

Thats haz 3 for you

💤

[coral pond]

got a few elite slasher myself

[cunning walrus]

Two sabo missions on EDD

That's a first

[mild pumice]

how do i post picture?

first daily im able to solo 😄

post in galery

[wraith shard]

can also use imgur

[sullen bridge]

What do Elite deep dives give you over normal ones?

Finised one and I got some crappy OC for the gunner rail gun secondary

Nvm someone asked it like 10 messages up and it was answered

[wooden lily]

whoever made this edd is less intune with the community then activision was when they made infinite warfare

stop stuffing sabo into ur edds

[wraith shard]

skill issue

[native bridge]

Might just solo with scout randoms are terrible at sabotage

[wraith shard]

play with good randoms 🧠

[native bridge]

Game 2 game basis

But dives in general much easier and faster solo

[wraith shard]

easier and faster with duo assuming your teammate is good

[native bridge]

Exceptions for refineries that are mega steep

[wraith shard]

spawn numbers are the same

[native bridge]

Like a scout and driller?

Thats usually what i do

[wraith shard]

anything really. I like scout+engie or double gunner

[native bridge]

Double gunner? Hmm

[wraith shard]

double gunner for EDD

you can do literally anything in regular DD and it will work

we did 3 driller 1 engie even tho theres 4 dreads and we were fine

DD is basically for memeing

[native bridge]

For sure, i usually only need driller and scout mandatory

Ive spent far too long solo scout building 100s of pipes into the stratosphere

But bosco is a chad

[thorn jewel]

Gunner gunner duo seems like a bad idea for this EDD in particular

Solely because of stage 2

[wraith shard]

you can manage

[thorn jewel]

If by manage you mean spend a combined 5 minutes hand digging or ziplining then of course

[dusky mauve]

You can dig straight down from spawn

Through the drop pod crater, its very close to the first layer of the big hole

[balmy axle]

holy fuck

i havent checked the DDs this week yet

the devs HAVE to be messing with us

2 IS in EDD

there's no way

[brazen musk]

They already messed too much by adding sabotage in dives and assignments

[jaunty crag]

2 sabotage in edd 💀

[rapid ocean]

At least not 3...

[brazen musk]

1 is already too much

I would be playing this season more if it wasn't a thing

I mean sabotage is already worth 2-3 stages

[wraith shard]

sabo haters rn 😭🥹😠😡😨😱

[brazen musk]

And the warnings don't help ☠️ because you can't wait for a better rotation

[jaunty walrus]

don't give them ideas, next one might have 3

[brazen musk]

The mission could be tweaked fairly easily as well, like remove 1 power station and tweak the sniper turrets for example

Then I might enjoy doing it consistently

Like yeah bro I liked getting fucked by 5 sniper towers on the ceiling since I can't shoot them down as they're deploying ☠️

[coral pond]

someone earlier said 3 sabos in a row on a dd is impossible

[jaunty walrus]

yeah thats what they want you to believe

[brazen musk]

It is impossible because you can't have the same primary objective twice in a row

[trail pivot]

why couldn't it be double osr instead?

[brazen musk]

FR

[fresh charm]

Elite dive this week was a pain in the balls on god

[dusty meadow]

We cleared it. Wasnt bad, went smooth except for second stage. Went as a shard diffuser engineer.

[jaunty walrus]

it was alright, the nitra balance was decent against two sabotages

but it is getting really tiresome to deal with sabotage basically every DD

[brazen musk]

I just don't do them anymore

[odd plaza]

ugh the ellite sucks

first time ive ever lost on a deep dive so far

[shadow lynx]

When firing range

[odd plaza]

tuesday

[wraith shard]

it's called your team mates on stage 3 of EDD

[brazen musk]

?

[karmic flame]

yoooo this EDD doesnt have any black boxes

easy W then

[brazen musk]

It only has 2 sabotages instead

[karmic flame]

alright i just reached the second stage and

i see how foolish my words were

a spitballer took 1 revive from me

then a maggot that got hit by a glyphid took another one

god i hate my fucking monitor

i cant see shit if i play during the day

i just lost because i cant physically see shit

thanks to my dad for breaking the good monitor now i have to play half blind

[winter dune]

why? why is there so much caretaker fights? like i can understand one caretaker fight per deep dive but why shove two?

[karmic flame]

why people hate sabotage so much?

[wraith shard]

cos they aren't good at it

sabo is one of the more difficult mission types on high haz

and when they get it in EDD they get filtered

[winter dune]

i hate how much ammo it eats up in deep dives

[wraith shard]

you get a ton of nitra tho

like 300 on that stage

which is plenty

[winter dune]

... my scout... why must you torture us like that

[wraith shard]

🥹

[winter dune]

cant find anymore my ass

at least we finished

[wraith shard]

pub scout moment

nice work

anyway the worst bit was fucking magma core and opening a crevasse under hack-c

💀

probably the worst EDD I've ever done

[brazen musk]

Tweak the sniper turrets and caretaker is suddenly fun

Just don't make them immune when they deploy

[wraith shard]

that would make them waayyy too easy. You can kill them before they shoot you it's fine as it is.

[brazen musk]

Not really, because several of them deploy at a time

[wraith shard]

there's like what 5 max? just break los from some and kill the ones you see it's not hard

[brazen musk]

Btw do they have a weakpoint?

[wraith shard]

don't think so

[brazen musk]

L

I'll use the M1 I guess

[wraith shard]

it doesn't matter tho, they die super fast anyway

phasebombs should be buffed to have a shorter detonation time, they're way too easy to avoid atm

[brazen musk]

When you shoot at 1, the other 4 are still firing, and avoiding their shots is unrealiable

[wraith shard]

thats why you break los with them

[brazen musk]

Where

They're on the roof

[wraith shard]

there's almost always some type of cover in the cave gen

if you're on one side of the arena you can take cover from the ones on the other side and shoot the one or two above you

you'll have high single target dps weapons for the caretaker anyway

they'll die before they get to shoot you

[azure thunder]

Whats problem with snipers? Just shoot them dead

[wraith shard]

yuh

[azure thunder]

They can't hit you if you strafe 🕵️

[brazen musk]

I tried that, doesn't work

[azure thunder]

Strafe faster

[brazen musk]

If it did I wouldn't be saying this

[brazen musk]

...

[azure thunder]

Sorry for giving you solution

In that case stand still and eat pew

[wraith shard]

asking for nerfs because you can't adapt to X game mechanic that pushes you out of your normal routine is fucking lame

[brazen musk]

It's just unreliable

[azure thunder]

There is no more reliable enemy than sniper turret

Well, other than your driller with C4

[brazen musk]

Dodging is unreliable

[azure thunder]

How so?

You press A button and your dwarf goes right?

[brazen musk]

The sniper turret

I haven't been to tell the criteria under the shot seems to miss

Unless I use my grapple but not everyone has a grapple

I literally use scout in sabotage to dodge the snipers

[azure thunder]

Do not stand still pretty much

And if you use cover to tank shots be far enough away, its either AOE or pierces a little bit of terrain when destroying it I think

[brazen musk]

If you can show me footage of you reliably dodging I'll be happy to watch it and learn

[next blaze]

Seriously though, if they're not way off in the distance, you pretty much have to sprint jump perpendicular to the direction of the shot to dodge em

[azure thunder]

Yeah, thats the easiest way

[next blaze]

even at 30-40m, just strafing isn't quite enough

[wraith shard]

idk if badman is trolling or not but just take cover from them it's not hard

[brazen musk]

Actual useful advice, thank you

[azure thunder]

I had very thin cover one time and still got shot

But again I think I had multiple snipers targeting me so maybe one opened for the other or something

[brazen musk]

If you can provide footage of you taking cover I'll be happy to watch it

[next blaze]

I think the shots are aoe too, like spitballers? So if there's a wall behind you, it could miss you but still impact the wall and deal damage

likewise with when they're directly above you shooting down into the ground

[wraith shard]

if you're scout you can grapple to cover, as driller you can make your own cover, engie can make a fort before the fight, gunner can put a shield down and kill them all before it ends

there's solutions to your problem

[azure thunder]

Speaking of engie, turrets are nice cover 🛡️

Tho for snipers that means you are near roof yourself with plats

[brazen musk]

Do they reach

[wraith shard]

edd was straigh up dogshit

no ammo all day

I did not have fun

[brazen musk]

I might do it with scout

[wraith shard]

I did scout

5 different times a full wave of mactera spawned on me

and the caretaker fights for some reason it really likes to spam the mine

34 mines in a row

[brazen musk]

Damn

Yeah adding the mission into the rotation really was a mistake, revert that and the game is perfect for me. And I'll do dives again. Might do this one and get a really bad taste ngl

[wraith shard]

I mean getting to the fight is an objective in it of itself, by the time you get there, there isnt no more ammo

so stage 1 is 3 objectives in reality and so is stage 3

wha

dawg theres like 300 nitra wdym no ammo

we had 0 ammo out of stage 2

[brazen musk]

I haven't had issues with ammo in sabo so far, which I am glad for because I kinda want to not worry about ammo when fighting a big boss

[wraith shard]

mine more nitra 🧠

we couldnt find any

edd?

yuh

aim better or take more ammo efficient builds or both

nah man, we didnt see much

[brazen musk]

I don't think I will do it with randoms, last time they called way too many resupplies too early and it made the mission way harder than it needed to be

[wraith shard]

its best if you can find a friend group to do deep dives with each week

pubs are super hit or miss

[brazen musk]

Yeah...I am soloing most missions rn

[wraith shard]

🥹

You could ask in lfg for experienced players only.

Pretty annoying when you get players in an EDD that don’t pull their weight

[brazen musk]

I kinda want to solo to improve in sabotage since that's the only mission I'm currently lacking in

[wraith shard]

what loadout do you take on scout?

[brazen musk]

Hipster and any boomstick build

[wraith shard]

I strongly recommend aise gk2

[brazen musk]

I should use that one as well

[wraith shard]

as for secondary I like bodkins but any swarm clear is fine

[brazen musk]

I might use GK2 and boomstick or whatever

The full auto of gk2 feels better on my hand than hipster

[nova hearth]

aggressive venting drak goes brrrr

[misty geyser]

i completed my first deep dive

https://tenor.com/view/drg-hop-on-drg-deep-rock-galactic-hop-on-gif-27319319

[wraith shard]

nice work

[misty geyser]

thx

[sly kettle]

According to Jacob on my Deep Dive thread on the subreddit, they've changed the EDD seed.

@quiet mortar Might be useful to know.

[untold saddle]

I want a 3 industrial sabotage EDD next week

[wraith shard]

whaa?

they do that?

[sly kettle]

To my recollection, they've only changed the seed forcefully once or twice before.

According to Jacob, we made Mike cry.

[wraith shard]

I'm guessing the entirety of reddit malded

well whats the missions now then?

[quiet mortar]

Oh? Will make a note on the pin real fast

[sly kettle]

Dunno.

[wraith shard]

that's a shame, double sabo is a pretty good meme tbh

[sly kettle]

T'was the meme that broke the camel's back.

[wraith shard]

😔

oh well I've already got my rewards

WAIT

at shows as incomplete

i can get the cores again??

[sly kettle]

High chance for Yes.

[wraith shard]

BALLIN

hey reddit can you throw a fit every week so I can get more cores pls ty xoxoxo

[wraith shard]

what do you mean by this, one of the devs was crying from all the backlash of double sabo?

[sly kettle]

Seems so.

[wraith shard]

Might just be cheeky Jacob things as well.

He wrote it in super small font.

[wraith shard]

magma core is hell

[pseudo jacinth]

imagine dodging energy boolets and fucking rock shakes and slows you down 75%

[sly kettle]

Only the EDD, according to Jacob.

Considering I play most of my Deep Dives solo, Haunted Cave is just a huge tedious mechanic.

I'll moan as much as I want.

[serene delta]

s

[candid bobcat]

If someone for some reason want to run the double sabo EDD in sandbox, the old seed was {"Seed":859524513,"SeedV2":2447339677,"ExpirationTime":"2023-01-19T11:00:00Z"}

[plucky bane]

they removed it?

WHYPP

I WANTED TO PLOY IT

[serene delta]

did the rewards reset as well?

[sly kettle]

Yes.

[karmic flame]

wait, why did the deep dive reset again?

[plucky bane]

I still wanted to play it

[plucky bane]

everyone hates sabo

[karmic flame]

more free stuff lol

[candid bobcat]

some of us strongly dislike having too many consecutive sabos in DDs/EDDs

[karmic flame]

idk why people hate sabo so much

i mean no one complains that we get so much egg hunts

[plucky bane]

egg hunts are pretty easy and not as time consuming

sabo though

very time consuming

very annoying

[stone chasm]

tbh, between magma core, double sabo, double dread, low O2 and stage 3 mactera plague I think that was one of the greatest EDDs in the past like 6 months

[karmic flame]

i kinda love getting sabo as my first stage because i always end up with enough nitra for the other 2 stages so they go by much faster
