I dont know if there is a bug or something, but I just did the EDD in like 44 minutes, went to join a DD, turns out the host was still on last weeks DD. I leave then restart my game, go back to the deep dive terminal and the game thinks I didnt do the EDD at all. The timer for completion doesnt show up?

the game might've thought u did last week's DD

Maybe you can get the rewarsd once again.
I know you need to restart the game before the new Deep Dive comes into effect.

EDD is a breeze, stage 2 can be a bit annoying
fast stratus
Both dives have repeated secondaries
steel python
Egg dive and box dive
Pick your poison
I have just finished the DD and my recommendations are to bring fairly accurate weapons as you will be facing elites in stage 2 and regenerating robots in stage 3
So get some juicy weakpoint damage and try to save most of your nitra from stage 1 for stage 2
As the spawn for the pod is a massive dustbowl where q'ronar go crazy in
Also, stage 1 has VERY LONG TUNNELS which lead to a very long extraction run (doubly so since we had no driller) so once you get the quota, start going up with Molly before calling the pod
It will save you some ammo and health

EDD stage 2 and 3 might as well have swarmageddon on it, the amount of swarmers + nexus .-.

It was industrial for me as well, since I was playing with Teioh and another friend of ours.

Usually they do their patches to coincide with the new DDs coming out, but I think this patch was a little after, which has changed weekly DDs in the past, I believe.

It could just be that someone on PlayStation reported the last stage to Muffin Cat and so it got recorded improperly since consoles have different DDs generated than PC.

Let's say; Stage 2 spawn is a death trap.

So deep dive has set haz levels? Is that right? I think I saw DD is 3/3.5/3.5 and EDD is 4.5/5/5.5?
half zinc
EDD is 4>5>5.5, iirc
round snow
And how does a 4/5 standard mission compare to the EDD?
half zinc
Not much difference, except that the map and spawns will exactly be the same with each retry, and there will not spawn any random events in DD's/EDD's.
round snow
Interesting, thanks for the info. Excited to try them eventually, got a ways to go till first promote.
half zinc
I'll tell you; EDD's are really hard. Best get your grinding boots on to get some strong modifications and overclocks before giving EDD's a try.
verbal pecan
I think, that it was Data rack for the dd but that small update earlier changed it why not sure but my theroy
half zinc
Oh also what I forgot to mention; You cannot join DD's / EDD's in progress, only in the space rig. So with whatever team you depart, that's the crew you got to complete the run with.
Pro tip, though; any Bosco revive charges (if solo) as well as your Iron Will charge, DOES restore inbetween each stage.
If you need a specific beer (like the +30% health beer, or dark morkite if there's lots of morkite missions), hit ESC and spam the 'Disband Group' in the top left, to cycle through beer options until you got one that you want.

Haven’t done a deep dive yet, need some tips.
charred spruce
Haven’t done a deep dive yet, need some tips.
- Equip weapons you are most comfortable with
- Perks like iron will and field medic help for tricky situations where players are down
- Try to get as much nitra from each stage. The amount of nitra and gold you leave with from one stage carries over to the next.
- Your perk uses get refreshed once you enter the next stage, If you are running solo, Bosco’s revives are refilled. Handy to keep it in mind.
Also this EDD seems like a playground for driller or gunner

Especialy stage 2 which spawns you in a pit with a mactera firing squad above you

If you need a specific beer (like the +30% health beer, or dark morkite if there...
Now that's a useful trick.
old widget
Unfortunately beers don’t change until the mission timer resets (every 30m). But if you’re in the rig during one of those transitions, yeah, you can disband to catch the new one (EDIT: apparently they do rotate on every rig reset now! possibly a bug...)
You can also change the system clock to trigger new beers but that can cause sync issues in multiplayer

I just tested this and can confirm the original tip. You do not need to wait for the new mission set
I reloaded 4 times in 2 minutes and got Tunnel Rat. Dark Morkite, Dark Morkite, Red Rock, Tunnel Rat.

Huh, you're right! I wonder when that changed. Cool.

I wonder if they messed up something when they "fixed" the seed resetting after a promo and "fixed" deleting beers with Q
vagrant heron
Which pissed me off. I mean, I got while the getting was good. I exploited that as much as I could manage with 3 hours a day to play, but here's the thing
I don't like exploits or cheating of any kind, even in fun non-competitive games like this. However this didn't feel like cheating because you had to put in work
You had to do your 3-mission hunt, then get a dwarf to 25, then 4-mission promotion, the another 3-mission hunt!
It's not like the exploit was "Go in this corner and jump and you get free cores"
You had to work your dwarven ass off.
I know this isn't the right channel, but 'tever. Needed that off my chest lol
old widget
Had to go confirm that I'm not crazy about the old behavior...wiki confirms it:
`Today's Special
These 8 drinks provide the dwarves with a buff once consumed. Only one of them is sold at a time, the special drink changes upon mission rotation and buffs can't be stacked. `
I almost hesitate to file a bug.

Don't you dare lol

Nitra is a bit tight this EDD, but my group never ran dry. It still might be wise to choose ammo efficient builds though or 2 or 3 man it if you're running out of nitra for resupplies.
ornate halo
Where do I find people for EDD if I don’t have any friends?
severe tusk
I just always play with random people. You can join a public EDD at the DD console or host a public EDD. If you want voice chat for it, you can join or make a game and use the voice chat on this Discord.
compact vector
same! it's nice to change up players too because they give useful advice... or you can just get an extremely good player that will help the entire team survive
quasi oracle
The DD and EDD weren’t bad. Heavy resource management needed for the EDD though. Nemesis does spawn on stage three.
My rando team fought the dreads in the spawn location each time. Driller placed c4 for remote starting.
compact vector
I'd say that it's a lot of pressure on the scout and gunner specifically
severe tusk
Why Gunner?
compact vector
I guess just shield management, since you have 3 black boxes, and a few chokepoints on stage 3

you need to be extremely quick and idk if it's worth the trouble
just bring a scout :P

The enemies end up doing more damage than you though
There's an excess of swarmers so the chip damage is constant and then you get heavy hitters like Mactera coming in with Pratoreons who soak up damage

remember that some time ago there was another one with mactera plague, it was terrible
queen rampart
It more effective
queen rampart
They stand still for really long time
queen rampart
Bet
delicate remnant
then i should probably take aoe range instead of direct dmg
queen rampart
Any oc?
delicate remnant
i have both clean ones :/
queen rampart
Can you tell the name?
delicate remnant
guidance cutoff and overtuned feed mechanism
queen rampart
Use 2nd one
delicate remnant
yes
guidance cutoff kinda sucks
i wish i had plasma rockets or somethings
now im curious, what build should i run on the hurricane in total?
queen rampart
i wish i had plasma rockets or somethings
Jet fuel oc fast rocket good, more damage good for single target
delicate remnant
Jet fuel oc fast rocket good, more damage good for single target
ah yes forgot about that
dont have it though-
delicate remnant
im playing solo
queen rampart
Zipline for me is add little angle, longer and reduce fall damage
delicate remnant
should probably add that haha
queen rampart
Pickaxe for speedy recharge
delicate remnant
Zipline for me is add little angle, longer and reduce fall damage
reduced fall damage probably comes in handy, i usually use speed
queen rampart
Bug will aim for player on zipline first
So the whole thing stay on zipline is not very effective
delicate remnant
yes
queen rampart
Better stay on the ground, run and shoot
delicate remnant
not like a lot of glyphids will spawn
delicate remnant
except mission 2, but yeah
ill just try it
gotta deposit fast and hope for the best
queen rampart
Stage 3. nemesis could spawn like mine
Near blackbox
Chasing me and my partner down
delicate remnant
thats nasty
queen rampart
As long as we keep distance we be fine
queen rampart
Have fun and good luck
delicate remnant
thanks, you too!
queen rampart
Just don't quit when someone not coming to save you
delicate remnant
haha, obviously
queen rampart
thanks, you too!
I'm already done
delicate remnant
ah, thats good
queen rampart
You already saw my review
delicate remnant
right, sorry
queen rampart
No worry
Also there alot of swamer
And nexus
I'm don't see breeder on my run so keep your eyes open
Stay shard on the hearing. You maybe hearing a bulk coming
delicate remnant
Stay shard on the hearing. You maybe hearing a bulk coming
got it
olive flicker
Did my first ever EDD and I did it solo, was fun.
I had 0 bulk spawns and 0 nemesis spawns so that was nice.
Stage 2 is definitely the spiciest.
queen rampart
Stage 2 is definitely the spiciest.
They fly now?
They fly now.
atomic stream
Stage 2 is really rough. Haven’t been able to get past the wave after wave after wave.
olive flicker
It's point extraction so you have to be fast.
queen rampart
You playing pizza tower now
olive flicker
If you are solo have bosco yoink all the aquarqs while you stay around the minehead.
queen rampart
Better get those blue rock
atomic stream
I’ve been doing it in groups, but everyone gets overwhelmed with the mobs.
trail pivot
alright dd number 7 lets goooo
olive flicker
If you are in a group you need scout + engi to get some of them quickly.
queen rampart
The longer the more they are
atomic stream
Ah, makes sense
queen rampart
If you bored in edd mine 1 or 2 vein gold for fun
Need lead spray thing for brust pistol
quiet lark
Had two groups fail the EDD this week and decided to just solo it. Took quite a while and some revives from bosco but made it through alright.
Having 20 extra shields from getting all the resupplies really helps with mactera.
olive flicker
Took me an hour solo.
delicate remnant
how the fuck are you supposed to do the blackbox on stage 2 solo
quiet lark
32213 bullet hell minigun
It effectively kept all the mactera stunned while I gunned them down
Combined with throwing down shield generators as needed
delicate remnant
the funny part was
olive flicker
Did as gunner as well, shield and focus down mactera when they show up.
olive flicker
Solo edd you just need to have big dps.
delicate remnant
and even cluster nade didnt deal with them
delicate remnant
Solo edd you just need to have big dps.
i guess hurricane sucks then
it did poorly
id use engi, but he dies too fast for my oppinion
olive flicker
Leadstorm lead storm.
delicate remnant
maybe im just trash
delicate remnant
Leadstorm lead storm.
yeah gotta get that one first
olive flicker
The heat one is pretty good too.
delicate remnant
burning hell?
i do have that one
in the last mactera plague i ate shit with it so i figured it wouldnt do good
quiet lark
burning hell is great, especially if you have volatile bullets on the revolver to pair with it
delicate remnant
man im just pissed i cant complete edds anymore for some reason
dapper bison
Aight so how are people beating stage 2 of this weeks Elite deep dive
That black box with mactera plague is brutal
delicate remnant
and its always stage 2 i die on, which has weapon ocs which i so desperately need
olive flicker
Personally I like lead sprinkler grenade better because it has consistent coverage.
quiet lark
if you're preparing specifically for macteras, yeah leadbursters are probably your best option
hard to hit a large group of flying enemies with anything else
delicate remnant
hard to hit a large group of flying enemies with anything else
loki might do it
though good luck with ammo
dapper bison
I think a bunker might be needed
quiet lark
oh I was talking specifically about gunners grenade options
olive flicker
Don't forget bosco rockets.
dapper bison
I'd prefer not having to resort to bunkering but I failed it twice now so I might have to
There are just too many mactera
quiet lark
nothing wrong with breaking out the secret driller tech
delicate remnant
my diller at lvl1
trail pivot
all that for another beard cosmetic
delicate remnant
you can probably do without
olive flicker
What are you running for secondary?
delicate remnant
me?
olive flicker
Yea.
delicate remnant
that requires a overlock which i dont have-
dapper bison
AH
delicate remnant
but yes i agree
quiet lark
mactera plague is actually the one situation hellfire sucks lol
olive flicker
I run lead spray brst.
dapper bison
Yeah that would be a problem
quiet lark
unless you're in a tight corridor than its still great
quiet lark
but otherwise mactera will just run out of your trail faster than they can be ignited
delicate remnant
or add very little
olive flicker
My gunner is just all damage.
delicate remnant
what you running?
dapper bison
Yeah a lot of green overclocks don't add much but honestly I kinda like that about them
olive flicker
Ls ls, lead spray brst
dapper bison
Sometimes it is nice to just use the base version of a gun without any gimmicks
delicate remnant
Sometimes it is nice to just use the base version of a gun without any gimmicks
yes

Ls ls, lead spray brst
lots of lead
quiet lark
my gunner setup is bullet hell minigun, elephant rounds revolver
olive flicker
I can never remember oc names.
delicate remnant
what has been doing me a solid was a little more oomph leadstorm and compact casings? brt
the green ammo one for brt
olive flicker
I should probably switch to more ammo on my lead storm.
delicate remnant
I should probably switch to more ammo on my lead storm.

oh yeah, its actually pretty good too
hurricane imo lacks dps and fireate

dapper bison
I like my guns going brrrrrrrrrrr

olive flicker
in exchange for?
600 ammo for 2 damage, the 2nd row of mods.
delicate remnant
600 ammo for 2 damage, the 2nd row of mods.
ah
damage is likely better
id say
but depends on what other stuffs you got
olive flicker
Nah, it's 25% more ammo vs 14% more damage.
olive flicker
If you were running an OC that didn't give you as much damage then yes damage would be better.
quiet lark
yeah I run the damage mod on bullet hell for that exact reason
its a 28% damage increase at that point
olive flicker
This is true for pretty much every gun.
olive flicker
If OC gives you damage for ammo then ammo mods become more efficient.
And vice versa.
delicate remnant
also makes the bugs die faster which is cool
delicate remnant
If OC gives you damage for ammo then ammo mods become more efficient.
yes
quiet lark
yeah usually what you want is a mix of both
delicate remnant
i just do what feels good
if i see the gun doesnt really have enough ammo for me
i see and look what to change
radiant nymph
should I just use cryo bolts if I dont have special powder
for BoM
the fire on shotgun feels a bit too inconsistent
oops wrong chat
but whatever im doing the EDD anyway
woeful niche
600 ammo for 2 damage, the 2nd row of mods.
technically that’s 300 ammo
which is pretty meh
woeful niche
the fire on shotgun feels a bit too inconsistent
boomstick sets things on fire pretty consistently if you take the pellet mod
olive flicker
technically that’s 300 ammo
The relevant part is the % which doesn't change whether you think of it as 300 ammo or 600 ammo.
woeful niche
Nah, it's 25% more ammo vs 14% more damage.
how exactly did you get 14%
olive flicker
2/14 = 0.142
woeful niche
with what oc
olive flicker
Conversation was about lead storm.
woeful niche
lsls ig it’s a smaller increase but i still think it’s a lot more impactful then 300 bullets
ammo in this game isn’t that much of an issue. And the difference in efficiency really isn’t even that big in practice
olive flicker
It's 25% more ammo vs 14.2% more damage ¯_(ツ)_/¯
woeful niche
that 14% gets a lot of benifit from variable chamber pressure too tho
olive flicker
Which one is that?
woeful niche
15% extra dmg at full stabilization
olive flicker
I don't run that.
woeful niche
idk, the only time i see ammo being better is if you miss a lot
i find that killing with less bullets more then makes up the less ammo
it’s the same reason i never run ammo on loki
the dps is great and the ammo efficiency is so similiar it barely ends up mattering
olive flicker
Leadstorm does miss a lot due to high initial spread.
And ls oc means you don't spend a lot of time fully spun up because of your massive damage.
woeful niche
you totally spend time at full stabilization
even max dmg lsls takes a good while to kill grunt swarms and pratorians
woeful niche
ye but if we aren’t talking about haz 5, ur choice doesn’t matter nearly as much
woeful niche
Event then you are not always fully spun up.
during a swarm, you are like 90% of the time. Especially if you take accuracy tier 1 (which you shud cus everything else on that tier is pretty bad)
woeful niche
haz 5 solo ammo does not matter whatsoever
why wud i need ammo in solo when i get 3 extra resupplies per 80 nitra
olive flicker
RoF on tier 1 is decent.
olive flicker
I don't find the accuracy relevant if I am spun up.
woeful niche
it’s incredibly relevant at full stabilization
being able to hit weakpoints at mid to long range is a pretty massive dps increase in a lot of situations
ig it depends on the range you fight things, but personally i like being able to actually hit warden and menaces weakpoints outside close range
olive flicker
I just don't find myself fighting at that range personally.
olive flicker
Wardens are the only ones with a hard to hit weakpoint at range, spitballers are just really easy.
I just walk up a little with those.
woeful niche
Wardens are the only ones with a hard to hit weakpoint at range, spitballers are...
naw you will def not be hitting the weakpoint consistently outside close range without accuracy
olive flicker
It's just wardens and menace.
woeful niche
and patrol bots
and spitters
accuracy heavily increases lsls effectiveness vs patrol bots in particular
olive flicker
I'm not physically aiming at spitter weakpoint realistically.
And patrol bots I usually take on 50-50 with brst.

It says it on the subreddit but it's 2 dreads + black box - aquarqs + black box - morkite + black box
First stage has cave leech cluster
Second stage has mactera plague and sucks major ass
Third stage is rival pressence
Also while i am at it dreads are twins and hiveguard
woeful niche
Does anyone know the objectives are for the elite deep dive?
look in pinned messages
fallow thicket
Damn the roley poley bastards in the second stage did my group in lol.
Which wouldn't be bad if it weren't for the fact we reached that point twice
compact vector
there's no nitra
it took me 5 attempts to beat it but the successful run had us with a resupply to spare. It's definitely very rough but there's a room on stage 2 (where incidentally also the drop pod lands, idk if it's any different at different runs) with 2 more nitra veins that you just might need
olive flicker
There is 2 resupply worth of nitra on stage 1.
There are 4-5 nitra veins pretty close to the mine head in stage 2.
fallow thicket
That is the third time
My connection was cut
It was going so well...
I'm going completely insane
dapper bison
This edd is hell
Which sucks because I am a stubborn bastard and want to beat it
Don't even care about the cosmetic
This is personal now
young yew
This edd is hell
Why didn't you make it
I thought it was ok. Just got unlucky in the middle of Stage 3.
dapper bison
First few attempts the mactera swarms at stage 2 wiped my group
So i swapped to bunkering which works and let's me make it to stage 3 but by that point nitra becomes a huge issue
Last run we just ran out
Can't really kill a swarm with just a pickaxe
Also doesn't help that people keep falling down the huge pit at the start of stage 3 and then dying
young yew
I see yeah maybe we would've run out as well if the swarm after the box hadn't killed us all
dapper bison
No idea just yet
young yew
Right
compact vector
I beat it with 3 players so it might just be confirmation bias, but it was much easier than all of my previous 4 attempts which all had 4 players
neon shadow
I beat it with 3 players so it might just be confirmation bias, but it was much ...
Why is that, it scales?
compact vector
found the swarms to have less enemies
or maybe the engineer was so good that he deleted enemies before I could even look at them (was scout)
compact vector
Why is that, it scales?
if we're talking about definitely confirmed scaling, the enemies health is lower
brisk pagoda
enemy count scales up with player count but more players also means more bullets
so if your teammate are good more players is easier and if they suck more is harder
compact vector
yea I guess we just had a good team composition (no driller)
and I wasn't a particularly great engineer in this EDD I'll admit
neon shadow
On my second Edd run
I told my team to watch the air specifically cuz I got minelayer and will carry ground bugs
compact vector
neon shadow
And we still got wiped by the macteras stage 2 lol
It’s really your team at that point
There’s ppl who get down right after u res them too so u blew ur utilities for nothing saving them and u get fucked right after cuz they are on cooldown 🗿
wild patio
anyone got any class recommendations to solo this week's EDD? i've tried it with scout and gunner but i keep dying to mactera swarms in stage 2 during the black box
or is it just a skill issue
tough brook
its pain tbh
brisk pagoda
gunner with a minigun built for single target burst and magic bullet bulldog or hellfire coilgun for aoe along with sheild with 1 size and 1 recharge speed would probably be the most reliable for that wide variety of enemy type.
quiet lark
gunner is your best bet, bullet hell/lead storm/burning hell are all great OCs for the minigun
brisk pagoda
maybe also bring steve for aggro or berzerk to save ammo or slap patrol bots.
dapper bison
On stage 2 I would recommend having a Driller and an Engie work together to build a proper bunker for the black box
Finally
I beat it
quiet lark
congrats
dapper bison
Ended up doing it solo on Driller
Would not really recommend that
I did however have all the nitra i could ever want
quiet lark
I mean dreadnoughts sound annoying, but I imagine driller makes stages 2 and 3 free
dapper bison
It mostly just took forever
The dreadnoughts weren't that bad
I used the sludge pump and cleared out the cave first
brisk pagoda
you could run ice storm if you wanted to use driller for it since it hits both dreads and bots hard
dapper bison
So i just kited them around the entire cave
Third stage was free
Second stage still wasn't easy due to the constant swarms and mactera's just being annoying
quiet lark
yeah i'd believe that
trail pivot

I think I will do Gunner because its my best build anyways. Hellfire coilgun kinda busted
And Leadstorm destroys the dreadnaughts

You don't need fire persay, even with rival presence. Especially with leadstorm, which just shits on patrol bots with pure damage

like huhh?

It's a bit rough especially since it's an aquarq stage, which are the missions you want to get done the fastest so you're not stuck in an endless wave. But rushing uncoordinatedly can be worse

we just had black box left but everyone wasn't even there when whoever hit start
nor did my teammates have full HP when it started

Fewer mobs, you get bosco who is amazing and you have more ammo available.
It's more consistent than randos in my experience.
Bosco is goated in point extraction.

Fair points. Is he useful for Dreadnoughts tho? Since that is the first stage of the Deep Dive.

Not much, rocket is nice for softening the 3 spots on hiveguard but that's it.

And then the wave cooker as a secundary but that was probably a very dumb idea since i took gamma contamination

talking about disperse compound sludge, what would be the best secondary for solo, outside of epc mining shenanigans
dapper bison
Depends
mighty temple
pls dont burn me alive for asking bis question 
dapper bison
Gamma contamination wave cooker is my personal favourite secundary
Take the t5A mod as wel for max synergy
stone yacht
was my 2. overclock i got 😛 be damned rng
Literally I play Engi and Scout the least so the game gave me every overclock for them but never Gunner and Driller. No matter, Hyperpropellent on grenade launcher and turret electro charge (forgot the name) with stubby are really good for single-target and AoE.
dapper bison
That way you apply triple dots on enemies
stone yacht
But been trying flamethrower facemelter despite Flamethrower being my least favorite primary of Driller
dapper bison
But some enemies in the radiation exclusive zone have gamma damage resist so it's probably not the best
mighty temple
Gamma contamination wave cooker is my personal favourite secundary
ye that one sounds good, sadly dont have that oc
dapper bison
Otherwise i'd go with the epc but with burning nightmare mod
Run whatever oc you have doesn't really mattter
THat way you can ignite the goo
mighty temple
ill give it a shot, was trying wavecooker so far, but without gamma contamination its a little lacking in terms of dps
olive flicker
My driller gameplay is very one dimensional, flamethrower subata, gotta try some other stuff.
stone yacht
Cryo with snowball haha. And then Vampire + drill and throw axes. Ironwill to rez yourself too!!!
dapper bison
Wave cooker is also quite good for swarm clear if you run it with boiler ray in tier 5
mighty temple
is epc with burning nightmare rly viable
never gave it a shot
like, whats the plan
you just chargeshot your gue
and thats it?
dapper bison
I love the epc with burning nightmare
drowsy holly
charge shot past it
dapper bison
There are different ways to use it
Heavy hitter if you want it for normal shots with fire damage
Energy rerouting if you want it for both
drowsy holly
the ball flys through everything killing em and then lights your goo on fire to
dapper bison
And then overcharger if you like heavy waveclear with charged shots
eternal zenith
I’m gonna be playing this game for the first time is this game ok to play solo or as it progresses does it get harder and you need to play co op
