[karmic flame]

its like an investment

you go slow, to then blaze through the other 2 stages because ammo isnt an issue anymore

a stage 3 sabo is a whole different story though

This was the EDD with double caretaker and low O2

[karmic flame]

the turrets are undodgable lol

[plucky bane]

I wanted to play it today since I had free time but it's been ruined 😭

[karmic flame]

sniper turrets i mean

[tall meadow]

went in blind and that was a wild ride kek

caretaker no problem, the one that folks suffered was the terrain in stage 2 low o2

[karmic flame]

NOOOOOOOOOO

[tall meadow]

time to run EDD again

[karmic flame]

EDD STAGE 1 HAS A BLACK BOX

NOOOOOOOOOOO

NOT THE BLACK BOX

[fleet stream]

Isn't that a good thing?

[karmic flame]

not for me

[fleet stream]

stage 1 is the easier one

ah

[karmic flame]

the black box is the bloody bane of my existence

i hate it

SO MUCH

[plucky bane]

the black box is so easy

last DD I did I knocked it out solo

[karmic flame]

oh no

haunted cave point extraction...

[plucky bane]

@quiet mortar

[wraith shard]

we need haunted cave black box

[candid bobcat]

btw if you really want to get the dive info yourself as soon as dives refresh, you can use sandbox utilities to skip stages (of course, you'd have to noclip and pop dread eggs to actually determine which dreads are in the stages)

[quiet mortar]

Definitely something I'm looking into, would've today but I just didn't have time cause of work

[stable compass]

i wonder was this reset a bug or intended

im glad i completed EDD yesterday, but sad i didnt do a normal one

[fleet stream]

Same

[fleet stream]

Apparently it was intentional in order to avoid a double IS situation

[wraith shard]

sabo haters partying rn

[south oak]

jeez

dang

this week DD is fun

stage 2 but 4 dreads already

[grim glacier]

damn, i was looking forward to that double sabo EDD too

damn you this busy week

[lime meteor]

lol

that edd would have easily exceeded an hour

[atomic apex]

top ten hour of janurary 2023 for me

[wraith shard]

https://imgur.com/BHMFFsj false

[coral pond]

God damn that engi

[wraith shard]

alot of our downs was teamkilling

[coral pond]

Lmao

[wraith shard]

I killed teammates atleast 4 times with leadburster and our scout and driller were murdering eachother the entire game

engie was just vibin

[grim glacier]

i wanted to solo it too

wouldve been fun

[coral pond]

Looks like scout won that

[grim glacier]

scout moments

[wraith shard]

he had supercooling 🤣

[coral pond]

Lmfao

[grim glacier]

that makes sense, SCC is strong against sabo

:)

[coral pond]

I think that's the one good m1k oc i'm missing

[wraith shard]

sub hour time cos super efficient caretaker fights, c4 vents, hyper prop/SCC/leadspray eyes

didn't last long at all

[grim glacier]

at least one part of the gigachad scout loadout is good now

[somber dew]

Moral of the story today.

Never trust your teammates with ammo and be ready to tutor people.

just did the EDD

[grim glacier]

bosco is my best friend

[tall meadow]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/565850434376302613/1063463137476608101/20230113062020_1.jpg?width=1174&height=660
This EDD was just long because of terrain gen

but nothing special unlike the double caretaker and low o2

I'm missing it already

[karmic flame]

the first stage of EDD is so bs

the generation is hideous

and black box with exploder infestation

[wraith shard]

lols

[edgy fractal]

So... they reset DD/EDD mission?

[karmic flame]

can there ever be a deep dive without any stupid black boxes, bullshit generation or 50 billion spitballers broods and breeders

[cunning thistle]

2 sabo EDD is dead woohooo

[somber dew]

They reset?

[midnight ivy]

They rerolled

[karmic flame]

i kinda wish they kept it

[somber dew]

I didn't think it was that bad. I actually beat it

[karmic flame]

no way in hell im getting through the first stage solo 💀

[edgy fractal]

I cleared yesterday EDD

[midnight ivy]

Then play a sabo then a egg hunt then a sabo in normal missions

[karmic flame]

the black box with exploder infestation

[somber dew]

Wait if they rerolled. Do we get to get cores n stuff again?

[karmic flame]

i would never in hell do elite deep dives if they didnt have the matrix cores

[midnight ivy]

Idk

[tall meadow]

yes

[devout solstice]

I managed to do the double sabo EDD last night with some random dudes; It was tedious, and we did have double gunner, but it wasn't too bad

[karmic flame]

they are too frustrating and unfair sometimes

[tall meadow]

extra cores for you

[karmic flame]

specifically when black box exists

[somber dew]

Hell yeah

[devout solstice]

Actually managed to get the dread egg with a resupply in the regular DD stage 2 before reset lol

[grim glacier]

could always use mroe cores

[empty yoke]

hey dwarves, with the seed resetting does our oppertunity to get cores reset too? sorry if this has been asked loads

[grim glacier]

im excited for the new DDs anyway

[grim glacier]

ya

[tall meadow]

yes you get extra cores

[sullen bridge]

Can you repeat DDs for more OC's or is it one OC per class per week?

[empty yoke]

righteous, thank you miners

[somber dew]

Once per week

[tall meadow]

once you done a DD completely once, you get the rewards for it and that's it yes

[sullen bridge]

Damn, thats kind of brutal

[somber dew]

To be fair. You also have the machine events

So it's basically 5 weapon cores each week if your still grinding for them

[grim glacier]

theres still the weekly core resets with promotions

[somber dew]

Didn't know about that one

[sullen bridge]

What are the machine events?

[grim glacier]

so now cores are only bound to how much time you want to sacrifice into promotions

[somber dew]

Randomly generated structures that you can activate

Things like tritalite deposits

[sullen bridge]

Oh yea I've seen those but I wasn't 25 yet

[somber dew]

You go to those with your key after promo. Then put in your blank core

After the event anyway

[sullen bridge]

Ah ok, I'll be sure to keep that in mind. I've done 2 DD's on my gunner and gotten crappy OC's on each

[somber dew]

It happens

[stable compass]

whats the deal with black box

why many ppl mention it

[somber dew]

It's basically a glorified mule mission objective

Aka the thing where you stand near it

[stable compass]

ye i know what it is

i wonder why ppl complain about it

btw my steam client just downloaded another chunk of data and now i cant get a deep dive lobby list

[somber dew]

It restricts movement because if you leave the zone it slows down or loses progress.

I don't think it's that bad really. Especially if you come prepared with crowd control elements. But I definitely see why people don't like it

Especially when doing it solo

[plucky bane]

it's really easy

imo

[somber dew]

That's what I think as well.

[plucky bane]

you just stand there with like a turret and it basically just goes by

[somber dew]

I was gonna say. I usually play engi or driller so

I can just make space. Or use Sentries

[stable compass]

damn did they really break DD lobbies

[tall meadow]

also just to let you folks know, if you lose progress once you start, you can still restart it

so no worries

[plucky bane]

wdym?

[plucky bane]

you can?

[hollow citrus]

did something bork again? EDD servers are missing

[slim tree]

yep same here, dd lobbies not loading

[plucky bane]

I thought you just instantly fail

[somber dew]

Reset just happened

[plucky bane]

maybe they're resetting again 👻

[somber dew]

Something may have went wrong

[tall meadow]

only for actual mini mule missions yes

black box you can fail and you will just have to restart from beginning

[plucky bane]

reset of the missions or restart of the servers?

[somber dew]

Missions.

[plucky bane]

bruh again???

2 times in 1 day

[somber dew]

No no-

Well. Actually idk

[plucky bane]

they reset earlier

they removed sabo

[somber dew]

I know they did

I was referring to that

And saying it might have messed something up

[plucky bane]

is the codename Bloody Return still?

[somber dew]

Yes

It wasn't rerolled a 2nd time then

[stable compass]

yo servers up

[wind nest]

Meh. I wanted to do the double sabotage.

[idle frigate]

Hey did EDD change?

[wraith shard]

yes

[plucky bane]

same

I was looking forward to the pain

(damn mods be fast as hell)

[thorn jewel]

The double sabo was interesting, had a lot of nitra so it didn’t feel too difficult at any point

The cave spawn for stage 2 low o2 egg room was hell but other than that it was fine

Looking forward to try the new set of dives

[plucky bane]

I'm gonna play it anyways

using mods

I assume I don't get cores for it though

[thorn jewel]

I think we had plenty of nitra to feel comfortable on s3, and we dropped 7 resupplies on stage 2 for it

Just make sure your scout is paying attention

[undone belfry]

it is just me or the deep drive got reset from update?

[thorn jewel]

Correct

[undone belfry]

oh
the old one is bugged?

[thorn jewel]

Reddit complained a lot

The discord did too but presumably reddit interacted with the developers more

[undone belfry]

like map generator are bad?

since my friend say it as he tried edd before update

[thorn jewel]

Double industrial sabotage made for a very long session

[undone belfry]

man the new one edd first stage are lack of nitra too

[hushed sequoia]

industrial sabotage is such a good mission type the devs force rerolled the deep dive

too good to handle

[undone belfry]

driller gaming be like

[swift nova]

Wait

Did DD reset?

[unique notch]

why dd reset

[swift nova]

I thought EDD is Covetous End

But others have Bloody Return

[wraith shard]

Everyone cried about sabo so they changed it

[azure thunder]

Because core hunt resets were not enough

[unique notch]

not complaining tho

more cores !

[azure thunder]

Damn, I missed my double sabo EDD 😭

[swift nova]

No way

Reset because of double sabo?

[lime meteor]

sadge

[azure thunder]

🥚 is very sad 😔

[lime meteor]

anyways can we do the same type of complaining about neurotoxin payload balance

🙏

[azure thunder]

True, NTP lacks direct damage

Maybe give it weakspot bonus

[hushed sequoia]

reddit loves ntp though so that wont happen

[unique notch]

HUH

i got nerfed?

[wraith shard]

No, it needs to be nerfed

Anyway

[unique notch]

disagree

[wraith shard]

More cores for me

[lime meteor]

💀 💀 💀

[wraith shard]

💀💀💀💀💀💀

[unique notch]

that shit carries me

[lime meteor]

No wonder

now win a game without it

[swift nova]

EDD's in bao

[limpid pond]

Wish people complained this much about the OC timegate

[swift nova]

This should be fun

[lime meteor]

tbh we already got core hunt bug

[limpid pond]

How long till they patch it because "it messes with intended progression"?

[lime meteor]

I hope they don't cuz it encourages min maxers that don't have all ocs an excuse to play the game more

[dusky mauve]

Im psure they know about it

Its been in the game for a while now

[lime meteor]

2 weapon ocs(basically) a promo makes a decent difference

they probably have bigger priorities then the core hunt bug also

[azure thunder]

Such as AB bugs

[limpid pond]

clueless

[brazen musk]

Glad to have played a role

🐴

(Thank you GSG)

[coral pond]

Wait they rerolled the dives? Damn, even though i hate sabo frequency i was wanting to try it

[somber dew]

That feel when everyone uses their IW at the same time

[brazen musk]

That feel when someone uses IW when there is no threat

[somber dew]

Big pain

ill be in pod 8 for elite deep dive.

[sturdy sage]

greenbeard question, if I did the deep dive yesterday, will I get the rewards again today?

[sly vapor]

Holy shit

[wraith shard]

Yeah you get the cores again

[sturdy sage]

dope

[wraith shard]

So I get 15 cores this week

😎

[sly vapor]

18+4/5

[limpid pond]

Imagine if there were just daily Dives

[azure thunder]

So everyone should have used IW long ago

[trail pivot]

Ayo

Manual dive change

[wraith shard]

Aww man I didn't get to do the double sabo EDD

For real tho I can see why they would bother to reset, if only because sabos can take a while if you don't split the power station hacks

[warped ore]

I'm just tired of being forced into multiple sabos a week

[tidal phoenix]

Wait they changed the dd

Man I don't wanna deal with ghost no more

[noble swan]

i swear the elite deep dive was in magma core yesterday

why is it hollow bough like right after the reset

did they just consider double sabo to be shit lol

[brazen musk]

Because the reroll landed on hollow bough

[brazen musk]

Perhaps

[wraith shard]

People will always find something to complain about

[trail pivot]

Ghost is fun

Unless your driller is lazy

[wraith shard]

Ghost is super fun

[warped ore]

Fun is subjective

[quaint fox]

What's the current EDD?

[wraith shard]

Wait did they change the dives?

Almost beat the elite magma core but ran outta ammo in the last 2 thirds of hp

[untold saddle]

yes

[hazy lily]

Check pins

[sly vapor]

Just remove 1 generator...it deletes like 8 minutes from the mission or more

[radiant nymph]

I really lucked out on my first EDD team lmao

it sucked, yes, but we at least cleared it

this is the third team that cant get past stage 1

[mild pumice]

why the dive from yesterday not the same of the one today?

[grim glacier]

too much sabo

[azure thunder]

Because boohooo 2 caretakers 😭

[mild pumice]

you kidding

i soloed the damn thing

[grim glacier]

cores are refreshed

play the new ones for more cores

[mild pumice]

yeah i seen that

i just finished the new one

[grim glacier]

cant really complain about more cores

[mild pumice]

i was just confused

i was not aware thing like that could happen xD

funny thing is i hate more 1 ghost then 2 caretakers xD

[waxen terrace]

if you wanna do caretaker easy mode with friends

ask your engi pal to roof to the head, and use 2 max dmg c4 on top of the fella

shield phase skipped

[hushed sequoia]

yeah its almost like people dont want to play things that arent fun and take 2x longer than other missions

[mild pumice]

if you hit the weak point its second just a couple min

[cosmic tundra]

magma core EDD was my 100th EDD izi game

[silver condor]

does someone here want to do the elite deep dive and not rage quit?

[native grail]

TLDR why did they reset dives today?

[mild pumice]

2 dread

[native grail]

wdym

[grim glacier]

too much sabo

[native grail]

so more ike too many complaints

but yea they're kinda shoving sabotage down our throats with dives these days.

[mild pumice]

what sabo mean

[grim glacier]

industrial sabotage

[native grail]

industrial sabotage

[mild pumice]

i dont remember any was it in elite?

[native grail]

since S3 it is

[mild pumice]

i mean in the one who just got reseted

[dusty meadow]

Thought it was fine. We specced for single target and the sabo went smoothly. It was sorta chill.

The shields, arms and all have max distances. You could just shoot from another room.

[charred spruce]

Any stage with haunted caves in deep dive is cursed

[somber dew]

4 deep dives in one day. Feelin good

First elite level was kinda painful though

[devout solstice]

I actually had the hardest time during stage 2 of the original EDD; The verticality was causing my group of randos a lot of problems, myself included lol

Definitely had some chain deaths that came close to wiping us

[wooden lily]

if they want to keep shoving sabo in edds they just need to make it 1 hack not 2 im so bored of this

[devout solstice]

We actually ended up popping dread by plopping a supply way down underneath it, then shooting up the shaft at it, lmao

[lone monolith]

haunted cave is arguably the least impactful mutator lol — all you have to do is... not be near it

[waxen terrace]

^

[charred spruce]

I do avoid it but I just hate knowing there is something I cannot kill that is chasing me.

[waxen terrace]

it can get kinda bad on terrain with a lot of climbing

but a competent driller should be able to make kiting tunnels

also a gunner can actually facehug a DD ghost

its really funny

[wooden lily]

plus its on point extract

[chrome patrol]

Nobody wanna do elite deep dive rip

[wooden lily]

ppl are prolly unaware it changed

[mild pumice]

this elite dive one is insane

its my 6th attempt

[wooden lily]

it doesnt seem that bad are the maps fucked?

[mild pumice]

exploder

everywhere

we just got wiped out all the 4 at the same exact time

[waxen terrace]

well for one what is your team running?

[lone monolith]

nobody running IW clearly lol

[mild pumice]

the 4 other run yes

and they died

[waxen terrace]

i mean weapons

cryo is good for denying their explosions, but stickyflames and autocannon also can cover a lot of ground to chip them

same with turrets

[mild pumice]

everybody switched to scout out of desperation XD

[waxen terrace]

lol

[vagrant topaz]

thats probably not the best of ideas

[mild pumice]

i know

[waxen terrace]

tbh everytime you hear spawns just assume its an exploder mob

[lone monolith]

probably related to movement as well, gotta constantly be moving in higher diffs and kiting things, esp. exploders and stuff shouldn't be hitting you much

[mild pumice]

they spawn even when there is no spawns

[vagrant topaz]

can engie not cover exploder hordes well with something like ecr or a gl build?

[mild pumice]

i play with rando i dont have control of that

[waxen terrace]

his turrets already can cover that

[vagrant topaz]

turret whip if u wana run shotty would be great too

[lone monolith]

anybody can wave clear that's not the issue lol, it's an awareness problem if yall are getting 4man wiped by exploders

[waxen terrace]

also gunners can drop shields if an exploder is too close at the uplink

[lone monolith]

4 scouts = 0 gunners 😄

[wooden lily]

just run lingering damage like sludge pump sticky fuel or vir

[mild pumice]

the 7 run was different

[wooden lily]

and assume there wil be sploders everywhere

[waxen terrace]

seriously, the shields are really important for the uplink if exploders managed to sneak in

[mild pumice]

different build different person

[vagrant topaz]

an astute but important observation

[waxen terrace]

also ntp gunner

:))))))))))))

[mild pumice]

you just arguing without knowing what happen int eh 6 other run

[waxen terrace]

dw i failed an EDD 8 times in a row before

and understandable that a lot of unprecedented deaths happen in exploder infestations

[shell lion]

I like when i mine nitra in cornner and then hear SKIBIDI BOP MMM DADA behind me

Reminds about old minecraft days

[swift nymph]

Wasn't there some channel where a bot posts the current week's deep dive stages?

[shell lion]

Pins

[swift nymph]

Ahh right, thanks!

[waxen terrace]

also thats an actual person, who only updates based on what other players have informed or what they saw in-game after completing the DD and EDD

but MC does inform of when the DD reset will happen

[native bridge]

i was expecting a double sabatoge in the edd, did they really change it?

[twilit fjord]

Nice deep dive, in every state 2 bulk detonators spawned 😁 stage 2 was fun with ghost, bulk detonator and bet-c at the same time

[gray hemlock]

wait

did the update change the deep dive seeds

aw fuck I could've gotten 6 extra cores LLLLL

[warped mural]

Guys which overclock is better

Lead Storm or Burning Hell

I can only make 1 yet cause i ran out of blanks

[limpid pond]

Not how this works lol

[warped mural]

Wait what

[limpid pond]

You don't get to choose what OCs you get

[warped mural]

I mean in forging

[hushed sequoia]

unless you mean you have both in the forge

[limpid pond]

Unless you're refer- yeah okay

[hushed sequoia]

you don't need blank cores to forge stuff

just the minerals and credits

so you can probably make both

[warped mural]

Ohhh

I thought u need blanks

[hushed sequoia]

blanks are only for the machine events

[limpid pond]

Imagine if you needed 2 BMCs per OC 💀

[gray hemlock]

you'd get 1 oc from bmc's per week lmao

excluding forge mastery and the promotion exploit

[limpid pond]

That's ok, the rate at which you get OCs doesn't matter because if you really liked the game, you wouldn't care about them

[gray hemlock]

counterargument: I want funny bullet hell 😔

I have 4 overclocks for the leadstorm and none are bullet hell

[limpid pond]

It's okay, Bullet Hell sucks so you're not missing out on much

[jolly obsidian]

No way an easy EDD with no industrial sabos i cant believe my eyes

Black box might be the only somewhat challenging objective

[wooden lily]

i had no issues with it

[coral pond]

man there felt like no fucking nitra on that edd, was bouncing from resupply to resupply basically the entire time

[limpid pond]

And it becomes zero challenge with Repellant Additive 😩

[odd plaza]

wait the deep dive changed?

i swore it was double sabo on the edd?

[grim glacier]

changed because too much sabo

[wooden lily]

they changed it because they realized people didnt want to play sabo 24/7

[odd plaza]

noice

more cores fore me baby!!1

[trail pivot]

7 blank cores, no more please

[fading fjord]

bruh. stage 2 EDD, no nitra left, scout host takes a resup will full ammo just to get health right after a dread fight and im too far away as gunner to even get one resup - i warn them i dont have shields left cause of that (scout then says "oh, i guess somebody double dipped?" 😕).

then we go to last cave for the last alien egg and while scrounging for nitra somebody digs the egg and we die shortly.

there's no way im carrying all this incompetence.

[mild pumice]

15 tried

give me the sabo at the place of the elite cancer we got

[magic lava]

Wait, Why did they change the deep dives ?

[lone monolith]

b/c complaints about sabo

[heavy girder]

Mass amount of disapproval of there being 2 sabotoge is a single EDD, especially after weeks of it being present

[limpid pond]

Is this a historical event?

[magic lava]

Damn, I was so ready to take on the challenge of doing 2 sabos even if I'm a bit tired of them

Oh well

[old widget]

You still can, but requires sandbox mods (Mission Selector + the old seed)

[pulsar stream]

yo did the update refresh the deep dives?

[dark schooner]

the devs reset the dd seeds

so it changed because we got double sabo after weeks of it

[pulsar stream]

nice

[mild pumice]

i gave up on the new elite 😦

[pulsar stream]

more matrix cores for me

me when a bulk det spawns on objective

[indigo fulcrum]

do elite deep dives give anything extra?

[vale sable]

Oh man that edd was kind of fun lol. Still waiting for double sabotage with drilldozer stage 2

[wraith shard]

Deep dive today was mental

2 bulk detonators, a bet c, and the ghost detanator all in one stage

And lethal enemes in the stage before that

Overall it was fun though

[pulsar stream]

wait what, im on the lethal enemies stage and two bulks spawned

do you mean to tell me 2 more are gonna spawn?

also which stage has the bet-c?

[wraith shard]

2nd

[pulsar stream]

ok

and 2 bulks spawn there as well?

[wraith shard]

In the 2nd yea

[pulsar stream]

so, including the ghost, 5 bulks in total

[wraith shard]

For me

I dunno if it will be the same for everyone

[pulsar stream]

awesome lets do this

[chilly onyx]

This week's dd was fun

[edgy topaz]

We only had 1 bulk? Not including the ghost.

[pulsar stream]

fought an oppressor on stage 1 along with 2 bulk dets, stage 2 doesn't have a bet-c, or i just haven't found it. however one bulk det has spawned with another oppressor. also this ghost is annoying

[coral pond]

the spawn pool isn't the exact same outside of dreads, cause i don't remember having any dets in stage 1 and never got a bet-c

[eternal dune]

There should be a deep dive where you get sent to Australia

[chilly onyx]

We got a Bulk near the end of stage 1 but that was it really

Normal DD

[pulsar stream]

seems fitting as we are fighting the bug population of australia

[eternal dune]

Pretty much

[soft prairie]

Finally managed to finish the elite but for some reason it took 1 hour and 24 min to complete due to the double IS on xbox

[zenith ember]

Just noticed that the dd stages changed, how are the new ones 👀

[soft prairie]

I can't play them but I can tell you right now that the old edd I had to play was hard af

The regular DD seems to be easy enough as well

[zenith ember]

Hey you managed to finish it ultimately, thats big

[barren mural]

Managed to finish the regular DD just in time to get the "under 45 minutes" achievement. I think we were right at 44 min. 4 bulk detonators total, no BET-C. 😦

[twilit jasper]

4 detonator? What missions?

[barren mural]

4 bulks total: 2 in the first round (lethal enemies), none with the ghost / haunted cave, and two in the last round

[twilit jasper]

Awesome thanks

[barren mural]

Somebody else said they got two bulks in all three stages 😱

[frail charm]

wait, if they reset the deep dives, does that mean i can do them again for more cores?

[coral pond]

yes

[cosmic bridge]

damn i almost made it

me and a gunner were all that was left of our team, the others crashed

we made it through phase 2, and nearly completed phase 3

gunner was shot off his zipline on his way to revive me

and that was that

[prime ferry]

One person was saying during one of hte missions that if you exit out of deep dive after the first stage is complete you can keep getting the blank slot?

[coral pond]

no you only get it with the first completion

[main glacier]

petition to not have Haunted Cave show up in deep dives

[wraith shard]

Vetoed, I don’t mind haunted as much as low o2

[main glacier]

honestly, both are tedious

but id rather low o2

[waxen terrace]

molly starts climbing up the ceiling

[tribal sandal]

Haunted cave is fine with a team cuz the scout can just kite the ghost the entire time while the team does the rest

[prime ferry]

Deep dive I think is where I found out that the extra drops that have oxygen have a limited amount.

[tribal sandal]

But o2 can lead to some unfair feeling team wipes cuz Molly ran thru a one pixel hole in the ceiling

Also u can use the horror as a weapon

As scout anyway

By grappling past and triggering the explosion

[prime ferry]

I've heard of people getting No Oxygen + No shields in regular, but not in deep dive.

[hushed sequoia]

resupplies?

they shouldn't

[tribal sandal]

I’d say haunted mining and low o2 point extract are horrible

[hushed sequoia]

it might have been bugged

[prime ferry]

It was the rock cracker.

[hushed sequoia]

oh

[prime ferry]

I'd gone back to it since I was away from the team - checking out an area and found there was no oxygen to be had and died.

[tribal sandal]

Could be that double o2 source bug where if you are within two sources and leave one you don’t get o2 anymore

Happens a lot on PE

Cuz the mine heads o2 canisters line up

[prime ferry]

Do empty resupplies still give oxygen?

[tribal sandal]

Yes

To my knowledge anyway

[prime ferry]

I've only done one Elite Deep Dive and had to be carried through in the beginning. (They re-upped after our first deep dive and I didn't realise it was Elite)

[tribal sandal]

Lol I accidentally did that recently where I joined the first available deep dive thought it was normal but it was elite

[prime ferry]

Yeah, wasn't on as my best class - so was struggle bus.

Granted, I don't know how much better I'd fare with my best class.

[tribal sandal]

What do u main

Scout?

[prime ferry]

Yeah.

First class I learned.

[tribal sandal]

I like all the classes but engi is very versatile

[prime ferry]

Engineer might be my most powerful DPS class right now.

I just keep forgetting I have a turret.

[tribal sandal]

It’s also good on Deep dives cuz u can just lock down an area and use some really good ammo effective weapons/ ocs

I run ecr loki and extra ammo breech

[prime ferry]

You really need to pair loki with something quick

[tribal sandal]

Cuz ecr can take out most enemies grunts hvts and ambushes and breech melts big things and swarms

[prime ferry]

I run Breech on some of hte builds, but it's not a favourite of party members as it tends to catch them up too.

[tribal sandal]

Sentry’s mop up the rest

[prime ferry]

Lense is fun - though the only overclock I have is terrible for it.

[tribal sandal]

We shld get back to deep dives

[prime ferry]

People often save nitra for the end, and you end up with like 400 or somethin'

The last boss I tend to just put supply stations around it so people running around can get more health/ammo.

Since it always seems to end with the same mission.

[mighty beacon]

dude this edd is brutal

theres no nitra anywhere lol

[humble sage]

yeah it's fucked

I genuinely contend that the first stage of this EDD was harder than any stage of the last two weeks' worth of EDDs

[prime ferry]

Is it the same every time?

[mild pumice]

21 tried on EDD

had the best run ever died because we starve on bullet

feel stolen all the way

all this because some baby cried on sabo

[prime ferry]

Sabo?

[mild pumice]

they change the EDD because they cry about 2 sabo in the same run

and remplace it by a impossible shit show

[prime ferry]

I think Elite is a little above my skill level, I'm at the regularly doing 3 - can survive 4 stage.

[mild pumice]

wait for next week

this one is jjust dumb

[prime ferry]

I went in Solo to see what was going on - there was a lot going on.

[mild pumice]

you can try DD solo but i never win a EDD solo

[prime ferry]

What is the best drink for deep dives do you think?

[tribal sandal]

Red rock

The hp one

[prime ferry]

I'd probably put the rat one just after that.

Having less fall damage fear is pretty nice.

[tribal sandal]

Then the mining one

[prime ferry]

Being able to break rocks as a normal non-driller at a speedy pace is good.

Did they change deep dive at some point? The person who told me about the just doing hte first stage again and again was like user level 700ish

[mighty beacon]

theres basically no nitra in first or 2nd stage

[prime ferry]

Does it get easier scaling wise with less people?

[mild pumice]

depend on the mission

[paper ingot]

I can't believe this fucking community bullied the devs to change the dives... holy fuck

[waxen terrace]

depends on player competency

[coral pond]

more like based devs that actively listen to the community

[waxen terrace]

bugs spawn more and are tankier based off player count

[paper ingot]

based devs lmao yall are a bunch of whiners that cant handle 2 sabotages

[coral pond]

good to know you lack any communication skills or reading comprehension to understand what the complaints are actually about

[paper ingot]

it basically all boiled down to "oh no not sabotage"

please enlighten me

[waxen terrace]

its in the pool every week

simple

[next pebble]

[waxen terrace]

and its one of the most specialized mission types

[mild pumice]

[humble sage]

woo, at least DD was easy this week, given that EDD was hard 😅

[waxen terrace]

aka bring your crispr/robot killer loadout

[coral pond]

caretaker was a last season mission, supposed to be a rare mission type, and since season 3 which has absolutely nothing to do with the rivals we have been doing upward of 4+ caretakers a week without any reprise. So while the complaints may just look like "oh no not sabotage" it's really just "really, sabotage again?" because it's become a stale as fuck and boring mission to continuously run over and over again and honestly kills the desire to keep running it. I've already done 4 since the reset just yesterday and i'm fucking sick of it. So the devs being kind enough to actually give a shit to what a majority of the community says is a nice thing

[paper ingot]

so you just proove me right

it's "oh no not sabotage"

[coral pond]

sure if that's what you wanna see to make yourself feel better

[next pebble]

different inflection between the two

[paper ingot]

so what if it was morkite instead sabotage

wouldve you whined about it too

oh no not morkite 4 weeks ina row

[coral pond]

morkite is a way faster mission and cave generation is far different between each mission

[next pebble]

"Oh no we're worried about sabotage" vs "oh no not more sabotage, we're tired of it"
Either way though, you should read the rules in #welcome-and-rules , it's a good way to stay out of trouble.

[paper ingot]

yawn

[next pebble]

you try to help people ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[coral pond]

it is what it is

[fair flax]

what r the deep dives for this week?

[wraith shard]

I hope they saw our suggestions about making different caretaker or making the generator events different, since that would help the repetitiveness a lot

The real answer is “yay more cores”

[wraith shard]

Piiiiiins

[fair flax]

tanks

[prime ferry]

Wow, I didn't know they had the whole spoilers there.

I sorta like it being a surprise.

[wraith shard]

Don’t read pins then?

[south oak]

rip

that old mission with double sabo was fun

[wraith shard]

And avoid this chat for the first few hours after new dives cos people scout out the dives and report to give info

[south oak]

oddly chill for an EDD where everyone tries to speedrun the hell out of it

[prime ferry]

I guess it's a nice thing to have for planning out your gear though, especially for EDD

[wraith shard]

It’s nice to know whether you want more single target or aoe focused builds

But at the end of the day almost anything works really

[prime ferry]

I guess originally I was under the impression deep dive was unique every trip.

I guess it is in some ways, but not completely.

[wraith shard]

The cave gen and objectives are always the same but enemy spawns often differ slightly

[prime ferry]

I wonder if it would be cool to have a 'how deep can you go mode' where it ramps up harder and harder and the rewards get better and better.

[wraith shard]

Like an endless?

[prime ferry]

Yeah.

[wraith shard]

Would be cool but they’d have to add higher difficulties

[prime ferry]

or just keep adding modifiers to the existing difficulties.

Could be like, eventually you'd be on level 5 with no oxygen, no shields, phantom ..etc

[wraith shard]

5 hazards and 3 mutators added, let’s go

[prime ferry]

Exploding bugs..~

The only real question would be - how do you decide how far to go? Can part of the team leave? Does everyone have to go?

Or does everyone have to agree to move on, otherwise you go back (Hurt feelings, bitterness, all that fun stuff)

[mild pumice]

tell me when you won EDD

[prime ferry]

I have made it through an EDD, or do you mean solo?

[south oak]

the old EDD?

alright

gotta run EDD solo for now.

Wish me luck.

🪨 and

[mild pumice]

the current one

[prime ferry]

I might try to find a group tomorrow.

[mild pumice]

i lost all hope just want to see someone beat it

[prime ferry]

I'll think about which setup is good for low ammo.

[wraith shard]

I beat it yesterday

was core hunt reset as well, I didn't do it before they reset the deep dives

[south oak]

stage 1 check - 1 death.

[mild pumice]

Yesterday was not the same one

[wraith shard]

it was for me

timezones buddy

I beat 2 different EDD's this week

[latent wadi]

I enjoyed the new edd. I thought it was just the right difficulty with enough nitra that we always had ammo as long as we were efficient with resupplies

[south oak]

but I miss the old EDD

funny thinking about that when I zip around a volcano during a wave in stage 2 just to cheese them all

[smoky copper]

i just had that was odd. im level 27 but i dont think our engi(the host of the dive) with a fat boi overclock should be spamming 3 nades in quick succession. teammates never took any damage as well. is there an anti-cheat in the game?

[wraith shard]

no

if you end up in cheater lobby just leave

and if they fuck with your save file you can restore a backup

[small briar]

That would be amazing.

[smoky copper]

thanks. i just a joined a dive with one slot open and it started immediately. i only noticed when the 1st stage was about to end since i was busy looking for mule parts. made the dive very boring. thanks for the answer!!

[left aurora]

WAIT

did the deep dives get reset

due to sabatoge?

[wraith shard]

Apparently, yeah

[left aurora]

I was so confused

cause I went to look at one and it was all new

[wraith shard]

I mean, I was getting a little tired of seeing it again, but I didn’t get a chance to try it out

[zenith ember]

If you mean the weekly task no

Only dd rewards i believe

[left aurora]

core bug is still a thing

[wraith shard]

ik

[zenith ember]

one of the 2 reasons why im still playing

[burnt vine]

So uh

this week's Elite Deep Dive is just nuts

the map gen is just unfair lmao

Still managed to beat it but it really took us by surprise on the terrain lol

[river mountain]

it was the first EDD in forever that i was worried about running out of nitra, at least on the first 2 maps

[burnt vine]

wait

it got changed?

huh

[pine mural]

edd was extra spicy this week

[south oak]

it did.
The old one was "Covetous End" in magma zone
Changed to "Bloody Return" in Hollow bough because a lot of people were spicy af about the double sabotage in the old stage 1 and 3.

😏

[wraith shard]

people malded so hard that the devs changed it

[open warren]

So, did the deepdives get manualy updated this week?
At first on thursday we had the rotation with double sabotage in the edd, but now its different

[wraith shard]

yes

[open warren]

Ah, alright
Double the cores ig

[wraith shard]

indeed

[grave narwhal]

Disappointed that both the deep dives were changed within a day. Anyway, here's the full run of the 2nd EDD this week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrwsyBjpdQ8

[silver sedge]

Did they actually reset them manually? I know they put out a patch, could they have accidentally refreshed them with that?

[burnt sandal]

they did it manually

[silver sedge]

Lol

Curious if they plan to change anything about the EDD objective picking in that case

[wraith shard]

they'd better keep it, just don't have it 6 weeks in a row

[zenith ember]

edd done, wasnt too bad aside from the 1st 2 stages being tight on nitra

though 1st stage with those narrow corridors + exploder infestation is a really nasty combo

and ig the black box being at the edge of a death pit didnt help either

[wraith shard]

funny black box location

[lusty fiber]

Lol this DD is something

3 dets stage one

[zenith ember]

death pit on 1 side, exploder corridor on another

[lusty fiber]

2-3 dets stage 2

Not counting ghost det

[wraith shard]

ooooo I can't wait

I'll do it later

[lusty fiber]

Idk about stage 3 cuz host aborted mid loading :(

[zenith ember]

everyone seems to be encountering a hell lot of bulks in dd huh

[lusty fiber]

Yea

A lot

[wraith shard]

bruhhh, if they deliberately aborted that's massively cringe

[lusty fiber]

I don't think there was a reason for them to do so

So I assume technical difficulty

Sucks, but happens

[tropic reef]

Just did my first deep dive and shit was easier than the normal missions

[lusty fiber]

Yea stuff is easy when you have a lot of nitra leftover

[zenith ember]

it is haz 3, should be quite chill

[wraith shard]

well yeah it's haz 3

[zenith ember]

aside from the bulks im hearing

[wraith shard]

bulks aren't exactly hard

[tropic reef]

oh yeah we got like 5 or 6 bulks

pretty fun

[zenith ember]

they arent, but they do deny a pretty big chunk of area

[waxen terrace]

btw you can ask your engi to platform the edge so you get more space to walk around

also save those shields for the black box lol

[zenith ember]

most chill dd ever, bulk count 2-2-0

[fleet stream]

I didn't even know the dd had bulks and betc lmao

did it yesterday to test out big bertha + magic bullets neuro and got a grand total of 0 bulks 0 betcs

turns out bb really likes 6 rof as opposed to min4 max4

[covert marten]

bulk spawns: twins as the boss, no ammo, one of them jumps into the arena

I genuinely have no idea how we survived stage 2

[radiant halo]

yeah the edd was rough as a driller and 2 gunners 💀 we got by those stages barely

[covert marten]

we were a full squad

I was shitting my pants constantly because I cannot tell what the twins AI was doing and it kept aggroing players who were out to search for nitra

[radiant halo]

hollow bough is ASS when you don't have a scout holy shit we could not see

[zenith ember]

Wait wut

[radiant halo]

nitra hidden in horrible spots on the twisty braches n shit

[covert marten]

hollow bough was horrible even w scout I cannot imagine doing this edd without a full squad

[zenith ember]

How DID you survive all that without light

[flint tangle]

Holllw Bough is just ass in general. Worst Biome by far.

[zenith ember]

Its barely visible even with flares all around

[covert marten]

stage 1 is possible, stage 3 is comparatively easy cus you get a ton of nitra, stage 2 you either play it perfectly or you get blasted

the map generation for stage 2 was dog

claustrophobic areas and the goddamn twins 💀

[waxen terrace]

this EDD is easy with a greybeard team

and hell with a greenbeard team

[radiant halo]

it's one of my favorite biomes aesthetic wise but it's absolutely horrible to navigate

[covert marten]

stabber wines in the spawn area and I had no health cus I decided to be funny in the stage prior

[radiant halo]

that black box spawn was horrid

[covert marten]

not the worst black box spawn I've had

[flint tangle]

My first mission in Hollow Bough i was immediately downed by Stabbers before I even knew what it was.

[radiant halo]

had a hell of a time in there

[flint tangle]

right out of the drop pod

[radiant halo]

yeah fajr tbh i've had some funny uplinks

[zenith ember]

I felt that stage 1 was worse than 2, dreads were always the easier tasks imo

Though i didnt encounter bulks

[radiant halo]

stage 3 would have been fine if we just had time to explore without a bulk spawning in a swarm

[covert marten]

we spent all our nitra on stage 1, stage 2 was psychological horror because none spawned

[radiant halo]

every time we got to 80 nitra we were all out of ammo lol

slayer stout helped a shit ton

[covert marten]

slayer saved us

[zenith ember]

Yeah thats normal for this edd, ill be surprised if you still had 1 spare supply reserve after 1&2

[covert marten]

we finished stage 3 with like

170 nitra

[radiant halo]

i'll probably try and run it again with my crew before the update

[zenith ember]

Ye 3 was just swimming in them red stuff

[covert marten]

the only hard part of stage 1 was getting inside of the drop pod becaus it spawned in a wall 🗿

that's when I pulled the funny strat

downed myself right as the others went in

[hoary wren]

Were the edds changed? I could swear I beat the double sabo just yesterday

[zenith ember]

Ye, you can get 6 more cores

[hoary wren]

Oh so it was intentional? Because ppl hated the caretaker fights I'm guessing

I thought my game bugged

[covert marten]

sabotage in deep dives is ass I hate it

[zenith ember]

Yeah, changed due to complaints

But cores are cores, ill take them

[zenith ember]

Its not necessarily bad, just time consuming and always the same thing

[covert marten]

it's long

I don't speedrun deep dives cus I barely have 100 hours in the game and I'm just finding ways to farm

last week dd solo took me 1h 40

I was at 40 mins before the sabotage stage

[zenith ember]

I can see that being frustating

[candid cypress]

i think its funny enough people cried, whined and complained, that they changed it for us

what are you guys, elves or dwarves, get to work, no matter how dirty it gets

[waxen terrace]

its also kinda beneficial for gsg to change things the vast majority of players complain about if it aligns with what GSG wants

its an unspoken rule to not balance or cater the game to the top players

[covert marten]

you wanna strike a balance between the casuals and the pros

I'm a hardcore casual myself and I'm not afraid to admit it

[fleet stream]

just did the edd solo to see what's it about

classic hollow cordonbleugh map layout with 0 light sources and me obviously being smart and play in that biome during the day

32311 big bertha however saves the day once again
took me around 1 hour because I kept getting lost in the vines + detonator in tight spaces on stage 2

stage 1 sucks, exploder infestation is whatever but the cave structure + general lack of nitra is atrocious

[covert marten]

black box spawning in a pit = AOE is mandatory

[fleet stream]

mhm mhm

shield + dancing around the edge of the ledge was key

stage 3 was a breeze, huge flat open area, plenty of nitra, 2 mini mules equating roughly 1 and 1/2 resupplies

detonator on stage 2 was scary but 2 leadbursters killed it from full

[wraith shard]

Meanwhile my team had to face at 'least 5 of them

We used one of them to finish off a hiveguard which was nice

[sour jay]

il y a des fr?

[burnt sandal]

#fan-communities

[sour jay]

thx

[lament wren]

When is one ready for an elite deep dive?

[burnt sandal]

whenever they feel like it

[lyric osprey]

Anyone up for a deep-dive?

[lusty fiber]

Wait, they changed deep dives? Because of industrial sabotage backlash?

[serene dirge]

yeah

[burnt sandal]

because it's a long mission and having two in the same dive is cumbersome

they've talked about adding limitation IS and escort missions in DDs on Stream

so you can't have two of those in the same dive

[lusty fiber]

Finally

[wraith shard]

2 sabos>>>>>>>>>2 escorts

[tropic reef]

nah bruh

[lone mason]

My first ever deep dive and it was a haunted cave aquarq

[waxen terrace]

basically move around unless youre a gunner

[fleet stream]

In that case, move around more

lure the ghost away before going up a zipline

the ghost can be slowed down via neurotoxin / electricity so there's that

you should need at most 2-3 ziplines to get all the aquarqs (or at least get in sight of them for bosco in case you are solo)

[waxen terrace]

any form of slowdown slows the ghost

ghost also can take status effects funnily

so you can freeze it or stun it with the boomerang

[covert marten]

2 escorts back to back are still doable because of the restrictions on the second objective

"doable" I say but they're both doable

just sabo makes me want to die inside

esp when the second objective is dreadnought

[small tundra]

did the normal deep dive yesterday and there were a stupid amount of bulks

one spawned with the ghost bulk in the second stage

[nimble pagoda]

Wait, so, what are the new deep dive missions for EDD and normal DD?

[jolly obsidian]

Check pins

Pretty simple but the EDD cave layout especially on the first mission can be challenging we had to drill to the drop pod for it

[nimble pagoda]

Ahh, thank you

[grave narwhal]

this is an exploit but u can use the caretaker to insta-kill the dreads: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uJYROupDiQ

[covert marten]

fun

[violet warren]

Wonder why they changed the seed when the dive wasn't unwinnable

[prime ferry]

That is neat, I assume the that works for drilling too?

I bit more high risk though, considering they could take out the driller quickly.

[gray hemlock]

fuck yeah

completed stage 2 of edd in solo

after my teammates took all the nitra, left me with no resupply and a hiveguard on my ass

[burnt sandal]

because it was a slog

[gray hemlock]

because no one likes double sabo

[weak geode]

anyone wana do a deep dive?

[burnt sandal]

maybe try in #lfg-steam

[valid elk]

i love this game so much, i played 2 deep dives and failed both bc my teamates were incompetent..

[proud ocean]

well i thought this new EDD is kinda challenging. hollow bough bullshit and exploders everywhere

[left aurora]

this new edd got NO NITRA

We had to pickaxe the dreadnaughts on stage 2 ;-;

[covert marten]

melee killing the twins like a boss

we had this wonderful strat of downing ourselves in rotation

get the arbalest aggrod, 2 dudes melee the lacerator and whenever anyone got downed we waited for the lacerator to go invincible

[devout solstice]

Lol, had a scout death on EDD stage 2 after he went to the opposite side of the map from us. He had marked a couple enemies, and after a minute or so of being down, said "Explain why nobody took out the two threats I marked"

I... need to stop trying pubs. Lmao

[covert marten]

I got lucky w my team actually

scout was going monkey on everything

probably had the most revives on the team (I forgot to read stats)

[devout solstice]

My team was actually good overall, I was honestly probably our weak link on gunner, just not sure what the scout was up to on mission 2

[covert marten]

engi went to grab nitra during s2 so we tried to keep the dreads aggrod, for some unexplainable reason they decided to piss right off and go for him instead

[devout solstice]

Lol, classic

[covert marten]

I have no idea how their AIs work

[urban zinc]

Designated Decoy moment lol

[covert marten]

that couldve been our gunner

no ammo + having to use shields for revives

he was the one trying to get the twins to attack him because we had to fight them in a room full of tall pillars

[devout solstice]

Yeah, this was my entire game too; I spec'd for ammo efficiency and still just could not keep up

[covert marten]

I did this edd w the wrong driller loadout lmfao I did no damage if I had anything tankier than a grunt guard in front of me

hazard scaling really makes the subata worthless

[stoic hearth]

any tips for edd? cant get past stage 1

[devout solstice]

Even when I use Subata, I just use the stun OC for big enemies

[covert marten]

solo or squad?

[stoic hearth]

squad, 1 friend and 2 randoms if they happen to join

[covert marten]

save all the nitra you can on s1

we didn't do it but there's a decent "bunker" spot near the black box

since it spawns next to a wall

shield spam + turret whip is what kept us going

[stoic hearth]

yeah i closed off the small entrance at the back of the black box with platforms

should i spec for max ammo?

[covert marten]

one gunner and one driller?

[stoic hearth]

im engie and my friend is scout, but we can switch in case the randos didnt pick gunner and driller

[covert marten]

i have no idea how to do a decent scout build, even if my life depended on it

[stoic hearth]

hes running zukhovs with the freezing oc thing, helps with the oppressors

[covert marten]

engi I think max ammo on the warthog and max damage on the shard diffractor should do well

[stoic hearth]

alright thanks man

going in

[covert marten]

get the fire mod for shard so that it deals the most damage

temp shock go brrr

[stoic hearth]

roger that

[rotund flume]

so i lost a bunch of progress and items on my account is there a way to get that back.

[next pebble]

Go in the escape menu and find the restore save option

[rotund flume]

tried that didnt work

tried looking at all my steam back ups and they are all from today.

[bleak mango]

alright where the hell is the black box on the first stage of edd

because what in gods name is this layout

[violet warren]

I think they show up on the scanner?

[bleak mango]

thats annoying I gotta go back

[tidal verge]

holy fucking shit. this second stage sucks

[severe current]

What can I expect from this week's regular DD?

[grim glacier]

fairly straightforward aside from stage 2

[zenith ember]

Bulks, a lot of bulks if you aren't fast

[severe current]

But as far as mission types and cave complexity?

[grim glacier]

check pinned messages

DD info is all there

[tidal verge]

i couldnt kill that huuli hoarder

what would it have done?

cause like, its a deep dive

[pseudo shell]

Same thing as huuli hoarders do outside of DDs

[tidal verge]

even with the regional minerals?

[pseudo shell]

yes

[clear cargo]

don't complain about sabo, you get this nitra-starved hellscape

[halcyon latch]

How hard is this weeks elite dive? Challenges don’t look to bad to me

[coral pond]

it's really nitra starved, that's the biggest challenge

[severe current]

Two of them just on stage one. Somehow Bosco killed one while it was trying to pathfind to me.

[fierce laurel]

elite stage one is hard

D:

[green belfry]

why is it so difficult doing it solo

[covert marten]

learn the layout and hodl to your nitra

I can see an engi doing it solo but you'd have to know the entire route before hand

[tidal verge]

what im wondering is

what reset the deep dives?

[neat talon]

They reset every Thursday

[tidal verge]

yeah but wasnt there a fungus bogs regular dive a day or so ago?

[brisk spear]

double sabotage in EDD

[tidal verge]

huh?

what do you mean by that

[halcyon latch]

Dang I got destroyed on that elite deep dive, nitra was rough

[brisk spear]

stage 1 and 3 of the elite deep dive had industrial sabotage as objectives

so the seeds were rerolled

[wraith shard]

people complained so hard that the devs manually changed the DD seeds

[halcyon latch]

Wow that’s pretty funny

Glad I missed it

[wraith shard]

it was extra cores tho

[halcyon latch]

How many

[wraith shard]

6

the rewards doubled up cos they changed it

[halcyon latch]

Dang that’s pretty good

Only two blank though I assume?

[wraith shard]

ye

I have a bunch of blanks stored up cos im only doing the weekly content atm cos burnout 😔

[tidal verge]

im gonna try the elite dive and probably die horribley

[halcyon latch]

That’s what I did, good luck

[tidal verge]

jesus fuck

hazard 4 is a nightmare even

[wraith shard]

🤨

[spice granite]

this deep dive elite is kinda of brutal

[gray hemlock]

black box with hordes of exploders constantly swarming you is kinda difficult ngl

literally the whole reason I brought disperser compound to this edd despite knowing stage 2 was dreads

[tidal verge]

i didnt even reach the black box

[burnt moat]

anyone an xbox player willing to help me with my first deep dive?

[hushed thorn]

what's this week's EDD ?

[fleet stream]

hollow cordonbough
morkite + blackbox (exploder infestation)
2 dreads (twins + hiveguard) + 2 eggs (regen bugs)
6 eggs + 2 mini mules (don't remember the mod lmao)

[hushed thorn]

thanks

[fleet stream]

stage 1 has little nitra
stage 2 has a teensy bit more
stage 3 is heaven

[hollow citrus]

nitra in hollow bough is always really hidden

[wraith shard]

piiiiiiiiins

[hollow citrus]

all those roots and branches

[hushed thorn]

uh huh

[fleet stream]

I hate playing in hollow bough during the day
I can't see a damn thing

[hollow citrus]

I like the bough but you really need a scout

or rather a competent scout who knows what a flare gun is

[wraith shard]

magma core is worse than hollow bough and I will die on this hill

[edgy topaz]

Tried 3 timescouldnt get past the first stage

[zenith ember]

fair argument

[hollow citrus]

bough would be better if there were less "stuff" in the way

magma would be better if hot rock just cooled off by itself after a while

but wtv I'm ok with both as is

[restive crane]

need some help on a deep dive lads lfg steam

[wraith shard]

#lfg-steam

[silk dragon]

skill issue ngl x3

[blissful tundra]

this EDD fucking sucks

third stage rn

[wraith shard]

would you have preferred double sabo in magma core?

[blissful tundra]

not sure

[wraith shard]

🙄 no matter what the EDD has people always find something to complain about

[blissful tundra]

lol chill

this EDD was frustrating, i hate hollow bough for a reason

the constant random swarms of enemies in stage 2 also really triggered me

nonetheless we still finished it tho

[wraith shard]

well done

[river citrus]

What are todays dd missions

*this weeks

[brisk spear]

check pins

[wraith shard]

piiiiins

I think they should change the channel description to "check pins for weekly deep dive info"

[brisk spear]

not a bad idea

[blissful tundra]

stage 2 is by far the worst, probably the worst mission i've ever done

idk how i died only twice

[river citrus]

Oh alright tnx

[bleak mango]

wait, the black box on edd 1 actually just generated inside the wall in the middle of nowhere?

thats why I couldnt find this asshole yesterday during the mission

[azure thunder]

Channel name too

[bleak mango]

wait it wasnt inside the wall for others, why is it inside the wall for me

[tulip summit]

Strat for the black box in stage one; Bury yourself with the box.

Not a bunker, but a totally sealed hole

[azure thunder]

tombstrat guy

[sly vapor]

Fuck i really wanted to try the magma core edd

Didnt get the chance

[untold dove]

burying the box, do you just dig down then put engineer floor on top? can enemies get in at all?

[humble sage]

Only a few bulks:)

[covert marten]

bulks are always out to do a little trolling

[glossy walrus]

only enemies that dig can get in, so bulks/horror, oppressors, dreads/babies. if none of them are around then no they can't get in

you just deal with the hellscape of a whole swarm at once you finish and have to leave

[lime meteor]

It's also extremely boring at best

Like it was bad enough just standing still and holding shoot at a single hole where enemies come in

But now you don't even kill anything

[gray hemlock]

tomb strat lets fat boy reach its true potential

(it’s still mid)

[burnt sandal]

all you need for that is just to throw a LURE in the radiation field

no need for a bunker at all.

[gray hemlock]

so true

but lure means I’m not running ssg or plasma bursters

[burnt sandal]

Best way to use Fat boy in a Bunker is to shoot it in the middle of the room

[gray hemlock]

better idea: use prox trigger and shoot it into the ceiling

give your teammates a couple seconds of pure fear before it goes off

[azure thunder]

Might as well pew 2 nukes at that point

[hazy lily]

The ability to throw a mission 3 times per resupply is not mid smh

[cobalt moat]

combine it with volatile c4

[gray hemlock]

so true

[acoustic tree]

Whats the layout for this weeks deep dive?

[sly vapor]

pinned message is updated every week

[acoustic tree]

got it thanks

fuck a haunted cave again...

was going to make the run solo but that 2nd one is going to be hard on my own

[cobalt moat]

Wait.. did they changed the 2 sabo EDD?

[woeful niche]

it’s just a dd, you can literally tank it as gunner

[cobalt moat]

Huge bruh they really did changed it lmao. It was originally this one before they changed it.@acoustic tree #deep-dive-discussion message

[gray hemlock]

Yeah people complained about it too much

Pretty based of the devs to do so

[cobalt moat]

Man time to get my cores again then yay

[trail pivot]

not that we wanted to do four more sabotage than the usual 5+ each week

sometimes I give up the priority assignment if it pops up

[cobalt moat]

just rush it on h1/solo like me
