Sometimes the game gives you the option to rejoin, but it’s unreliable
#deep-dive-discussion
supple remnant
You can try to friend the person on steam that’s the host of the mission to try to rejoin by getting them to invite you but that can be difficult for them to do mid dive, especially if it’s an edd
You could also see if they are in this discord server to contact them and then add them on steam but once again that won’t work too often

Never got a rejoin option

So one struggle im having as a driller is being able to tell how far in a direction I need to drill while going through terrain. It always seems like I way overshoot or under shoot. Is there a visual mod to help with this?
And that still let's you earn OCs
I originally was thinking of a mini map mod, but it could be anything
sweet cradle
The bullets... actually curve?
brisk spear
The bullets... *actually curve*?
yes the bullets actually follow the projected line
sweet cradle
I mean I figured that was the case when I tried to use Loki but... it feels like a double edged sword because they don't look like the correctly target weakpoints
and I'm still bad at learning how to bait some enemies
brisk spear
LOK doesnt aim for weakpoints
it goes for center mass
so its up to you to curve the line to make the bullets hit weakpoints
sweet cradle
(which is why it sucks against hiveguard with its damn fortress sized body)
using lok for hiveguard's 3 weak points are awful
severe tusk
There's always your pickaxe.
burnt sandal
using lok for hiveguard's 3 weak points are *awful*
that's why you have tapfire
pliant yoke
It is, but at the very least you can hit them
sweet cradle
that's incredibly dumb and inefficient design if you ask me
I get that's the point
but like... you shouldn't be screwed or disadvantaged in a mission because a gun, a PRIMARY even, can only work in very select scenarios and will fail in several others
still geode
isn't that the point of having weapon variety though?
you know what missions you're getting into, and you can build your setup to handle the situations you want to deal with, and you can work together with your team to have people specialize in different scenarios
how is it bad design that a specific weapon in a specific stage of a specific fight on a specific mission type is sub-par?
pliant yoke
If Loki automatically targeted weakpoints such as Caretaker's or Hiveguard's, it would be pretty stupid

Open the terrain scanner every time you stop to let the drills cool or accidentally overheat
sweet cradle
I'd argue against that case because a single bullet has extremely low damage output alone, it doesn't shred boss HP like it would shred regular enemy HP
coral pond
Hiveguard is like, the only case where the lok1 would be considered worse than the other two. And tbh it's still not that bad

Opening the scanner every 2s of holding down the mouse button is not that great of an experience. If that's all there is as an option I guess I will live with it

@burnt sandal I've been trying to think of a way to respond that doesn't sound like I'm being a jerk, but I can't think of one. I don't understand your confusion. Hopefully I'm not coming off as a smart ass, I genuinely don't know what you are asking
Are you confused as to why I would say using the mini map every 2s is not fun?

sage pine
do deep dives give more xp than a normal mission? how much more?
olive flicker
Are you confused as to why I would say using the mini map every 2s is not fun?
With a little practice you don't need to. You align yourself (using the minimap feature which let's you point yourself to the direction you are looking in the map) and drill till your drills are almost heated, recheck while they cool down, repeat.
burnt sandal
Are you confused as to why I would say using the mini map every 2s is not fun?
I just didn't have context, now I do
round cedar
Ah ok
coral pond
Opening the scanner every 2s of holding down the mouse button is not that great...
🤷 it's the only way to keep track of where you're drilling when going through a wall
next blaze
If you're drilling to a pumpjack, you can also tap your terrain scanner to highlight it and know exactly where it is while drilling
or if going to the pod, the symbol shows you where the center of it is
other than those, there aren't many situations where you'll have to drill for an extended period of time?

So question, If i use blowthrough rounds with Lok will it penetrate through enemies and head straight to weak points?

Do you have to qualify for Haz 5 before being able to play EDD?

I think you just have to be promoted.

You only need to be promoted with that class but if you're gonna do an EDD.
Its basically haz5 so its good practice

I just came across this massive structure that said "call down hacking bot" I did that and nothing has happened

how hard is stage three of this edd
rose yacht
Do you have to qualify for Haz 5 before being able to play EDD?
not really, I tried EDD before i jumped into haz 5.
Just know i ended up dying alot, and failing the mission.
😂 do try to solo it and get a feel of the EDD area since its randomized every reset

what should i know going into stage 3

Stage 3 isn't nearly as bad stage 2
still geode
honestly stage 2 wasn't that bad either
tedious, yes, but not particularly bad
im worried about the lack of mobility when doing mini mules though

im playing scout
so
i beat stage 1 and 2 by running away from shit
can't run away from salvage

good luck fighting the 1-2 bulks

i've killed one bulk so far

im playing scout
I've found the problem.
There you go lmao.

but i haven't gotten a single mini mule fixed

There's like another bulk when you start refueling.
At least in my run

i just can't kill stuff fast enough
no time to finish objectives

its stage 1 blank core stage 2 overclock stage 3 cosmetic right

ill probably just call it quits in that case

You are soloing?

yes

this week is my first EDD, second time i'm attempting this EDD, first time i'm trying it solo, and i have done haz5 like five times in total
so yeah
if i can do this
it would take another 3 hours

You could try pubs if you really want the cosmetics, but its not really a big deal anw
I usually run scout on pubs so
cunning pond
Salvage isn't the best for Scout cause you get two defensive zones later on.

getting into stage 3 with like 445 nitra to spare was honestly enough of an accomplishment for me
also is there a way to get molly to just sit somewhere?

Engi has turrets, Gunner has shield, Driller has AoE.

stage 1 was horrible because the mule kept following me
so i couldn't kite the bugs away to deposit the eggs

I dont think there is a way on solo

Hi hi, figured this is the best place to ask. I've been trying to run this week's elite deep dive a few times but keep dying every time. It's ultimately caused by glpyhids and the farthest I've gotten so far is the caretaker.
So I was wondering if maybe anyone wanted to form a team this week? It's kinda frustrating but I wonder if I'm just playing it all wrong or something.
supple remnant
Hi hi, figured this is the best place to ask. I've been trying to run this week...
it changes tomorrow, but id look in #lfg-steam for players if you need some

oh gotcha, if it changes tomorrow, i'll see if the next elite deep dive is...uhhh more manageable - and ty for that channel, my apologies!

or you could just ask here sometime tomorrow if you wanted to individually dm players to play with if you are meaning to get players for the new dive
its all good. you can still try to get players for this dive tonight but you are running a bit low on time if you choose to do so
but good luck on your next attempt at this dive/the new dive!

I added over 20 minutes to the time just because of how much I hated being in stage 2.

The caretaker itself took us a good 30 minutes
Most frustrating thing ever

Any ideas what would cause this?
plucky tide
i've had a similar bug happen before, i'm not sure what could cause it but in my case i was doing a deep dive while the reset was happening, so i feel the only reason it'd happen is the game kicking people out of the old deep dive to reset to the new one?
people say it doesn't kick you out if you're doing the old one still but i think there's some sort of limit, otherwise...it kinda just seems like a freak accident kind of bug, unfortunate that it's apparently happened multiple times though

For a relatively new player, is there any reason to replay the deep dives after acquiring the matrix cores?
I know the cash payout is very high but what are they like regarding XP compared to doing three separate missions?
Or are they not really worth replaying other than for the challenge
soft prairie
It's usually for decent xp + helping other players and some challenge
tacit pendant
Cool, thanks
old widget
IMO, for a relatively new player, there's zero reason to replay DD/EDD...for ratio of time:progression, DD/EDD is pretty bad vs. just playing missions
still geode
two major points in favor of just doing missions are that you can continue completing assignments and that you get various resources that don't spawn in deep dives
grim wadi
oh yeah, and events, and even things like lost helmets, cargo crates etc
none of those spawn in the dives

And you have a chance to stumble upon mission modifiers that will greatly increase the amount of XP that you can get, be it Double XP or Lithophage Outbreak
green wigeon
Bruh that edd looks rough. Any tips
pliant yoke
Anything that applies to Haz 5 will apply to EDD, almost
Have some anti-robot precaution for S3, especially Shredders.
And Dreads, I suppose. Anything that enables burst (Cold, IFGs on Scout) will help with whittling them down quickly. Try not to collide elements too much - if somebody is bringing cold and plans to freeze a big threat, don’t use a fire weapon to disperse it, and instead let the players with kinetic damage use that freeze damage multiplier while it lasts

rugged portal
actually maybe I should've run goo bomber with hh burning nightmare
dot stack pretty decent innit
woeful niche
i'm not denying how efficient and versatile it is. I just said it doesn't *feel*...
maybe that’s cus ur comparing it to 2 of the most efficient weapons in the game lol. For the purpose of most haz 5s sludge pump has more then enough ammo
coral pond
ok
woeful niche
also sludge pump has a lot more less ammo efficient options, but it’s not like flamer and cryo don’t have some too (face melter and ice storm for ex)
tbh i don’t even have ammo problems when using sludge blast most of the time and i don’t even use it on elim exclusively
rugged portal
I wouldn't call ice storm is less ammo efficient lol
most of your freeze come from cold radiance anyway
woeful niche
it totally is
rugged portal
the decreased tank size matter though
woeful niche
-75 tank capacity + the fact ur using it to actually dmg things (which means ur using it way more frequently) makes it a lot less ammo efficient then other ocs imo
but again it’s not like ammo efficiency matters in this game much, especially on driller
we had like 5 extra resupplies at the end of this edd
woeful niche
we didn’t even have good builds tho. The driller had gbs, gunner had ntp, and engi had shotty + fat boy. I had to do most the dmg to caretaker myself
Maybe im a masochist tho since i like going into edds blind kek
brisk spear
i'm not denying how efficient and versatile it is. I just said it doesn't *feel*...
its like comparing drak total ammo vs m1k total ammo, drak has like 7 times as much but each one is only a little bit of damage. but i absolutely get what you mean lol

aint nothing like a refinery mission with the refinery at the top of the map and the pumpjacks at the bottom

gusty grotto
just had a gunner join my EDD with 300 ping :)
coarse wharf
DD Stage 2 was cursed, but I am competent enough on Driller to make it smooth
EDD was just cursed because of my team...
and one of the hacking pods in EDD Stage 3 was just fucked, it was essentially a narrow walkway where bugs could come up from underneath you and Hack-C
coarse wharf
granted, the driller in my team could have terraformed the area we were in so that we could fight on even/open terrain, but that didn't happen
rugged portal
blow up the rock on the right
coarse wharf
I brought Driller for DD, Engi for EDD
ye, I know, but I didn't play Driller for EDD, so I had to improvise and just live
EDD Stage 2 took roughly 20+ minutes because the Driller had the bright idea of spawning Dreads in really cursed rooms while we were being swarmed
I don't know how I managed to not go down, but it is what it is
rugged portal
lol
gusty grotto
half my team rage quit after going down twice on the EDD
coarse wharf
try my team going down 92 times between the 3 of them
i went down twice, but i had Iron Will and some red sugar to pick myself back up
it was really frustrating, but i just gritted through and played as best as I could
rugged portal
we have a scout that get downed 21 time
i died like 19 time
the other scout die 10 time
majority of being downed is just one of them being very trigger happy
coarse wharf
holy shit...
rugged portal
this is the most death i have so far in all of my hours playing this game
the second most is not even 2 digit
grim wadi
o_o
rugged portal
weaponized incompetence
grim wadi
maybe ill just go as a nanny gunner and keep the team alive
rugged portal
we had gunner but he dc like 5 minutes into the dd
so the whole team basically have no cc
grim wadi
oof
i swear last week people were having disconnections the first day of the DD recycle too
gusty grotto
just finished the EDD, damn stage 3 is hell without a gunner
used like 300 nitra for me and scout to make sure our health was always topped up
coarse wharf
Gunner stronk
gusty grotto
yeah well i wouldve had a gunner if he didnt rage quit on the first stage going down twice...
grim wadi
im still mastering that art, i still just mostly use it for revive safety and sometimes resup if i know a few need it
coarse wharf
can use it for re-supp safety too
grim wadi
yeah
coarse wharf
that's what I ended up telling the gunner in my team to do when our supply pod was danger close to a Dread...
gusty grotto
use it when hack c and your team are getting swarmed
coarse wharf
about that... the gunner in my team didn't do that at all
grim wadi
use it when hack c and your team are getting swarmed
ohhhh good tip ty, will help us hold ground and unload into her
er was thinking betc, but for that too
gusty grotto
ohhhh good tip ty, will help us hold ground and unload into her
place the shield on hack c, none of the bugs will be able to attack it allowing you to clear them
grim wadi

Gunner's shield is so versatile tbh
definitely one of my favourite tools in the game

in l4d2 and killing floor 2 i always liked playing the roll of watching over the team or healing, so ive been liking gunner more and more for that as they can kinda fill that kind of role

they are, we tried to tunnel past them and aggroed both, somehow still managed though
grim wadi
is betc and nemesis spawns tied to the EDD?
right i was gonna ask too, are things like betc location seeded? same location every time? its been rare enough ive not noticed a pattern yet
coarse wharf
my team was lucky enough to only encounter BET-C near the escape pod
we just kited and took cover until the pod retrieved Molly
gusty grotto
my driller before he rage quit predrilled to nemesis, and I 3 shot it with hyper propellant, and we managed to not agro betc and leave the mission
gusty grotto
ong hyper prop is a god send for this EDD
coarse wharf
it's a delete command in the form of a weapon
gusty grotto
i was just deleting the caretaker arms with it making sure scout didnt get hit by them
and 1 shotting patrol bots in the face
*chefs kiss
coarse wharf
I used Cycle Overload Warthog and VIR Shard Diffractor in my run
gusty grotto
how was it?
coarse wharf
VIR SD is a very flexible weapon, good for swarm clearing and bots
Can't go wrong with Cycle Overload Warthog either, always a reliable workhorse

What are the deep dives for this week?
grim wadi
see pins
coral pond
it's updated every week, as the pin says
neon pasture
Was much, much easier than last weeks elite deep dive. But that just might be because I'm specced for single target damage and had a team who really knew what they were doing.
Multiple times, we had dreads get accidently popped in the worst locations, but still managed to pull through, even if it was a bit touch and go here and there.
tranquil warren

Any tips for the shield disruption?
Seems like its the only bit thats going to put any wrenches in for elites this cycle
supple remnant
just avoid getting hit obviously and remember that there will be more red sugar than usual so use that to your advantage
and use your power attack. its really nice with vampire
wraith shard
Idk if Im far enough into the perk tree for vamp tbh
Berserker would probably be good though I figure
coral pond
berserker isn't great without vampire
wraith shard
I think right now I have sweet tooth, veteran depositor, iron will, and field medic
supple remnant
sweet tooth will help on shield disrup if thats what you are having trouble on
what class are you using?
wraith shard
driller
supple remnant
yeah then id use sweet tooth and iron will
ive never used sweet tooth but if you are having trouble on shield disrup then it will help quite a bit
coral pond
actually a really good perk setup in general tbh
supple remnant
yeah
personally i gotta have my dash if im not using scout
and i usually have IW just in case

Stage 2 is definitely the toughest part of the EDD, had BETC and nemesis right next to spawn room, 2 breeders far away, etc.
Stage 3 has a low ceiling above caretaker, very easy to drill tunnel above and drop C4s to easily break the caretaker shields
grim wadi
first try failed hard, they used 4 supplies in first stage, knew we were fucked at that point lol
coral pond
barely succeeded first try, holy fuck. Shitheaded driller c4'd us in stage 3 and dipped

Also failed first time with group at stage 2, some1 tripped BETC right as we started up the dreadnaught, was pure chaos for 5m until we eventually all fell. I was up for a retry, as the group seemed solid, but host disbanded pretty quick.
I seem to have better luck doing EDD solo for some reason

supple remnant
When people dc or leave…does the lobby adjust for less players? Fewer swarms etc
Yes, it does
That’s why if there is someone on your team that’s throwing in some way, you shouldn’t just not revive them/kill them yourself and leave them on the ground without reviving them. You should just kick them so it scales down the game to account for fewer players
onyx furnace
is stubby or loki better for solo elites
supple remnant
I’ve seen a few scenarios where people have just not revived someone, making the game have the scaling for 4 players while only 3 players are actually doing stuff
supple remnant
is stubby or loki better for solo elites
Depends
I don’t solo much at all but they both serve their own purpose
Just use whatever you are more comfortable with

Being the last person on my team alive being chased by a bulk detonator, a nemesis and a dreadnought, as a gunner for that matter, trying to find my downed team mates in that maze ass second mission, and somehow pulling out of that mess, only to team wipe to the Caretaker with it on 10% health because we had 2 DCs and a sneaky army spawn that 1 shot feels like the height of anti-climax

How are people dealing with the lethal enemies caretaker so far?
i dont think lethal enemies affects anything on the caretaker
steel python
Pretty sure it does. At least for the arms
dusky mauve
dont think so
steel python
According to the wiki, it doubles all enemies' melee damage
dusky mauve
well melee damage is very specific things
and afaik it doesnt include any non bug enemy
or well bug ish enemy the bees and leeches are included
melee refers to just basic attacks of the bugs for pmuch all instances
stuff like slam attacks arent affected either

If he plays enough today and does double xp he can be promoted today easily
I mean y’all can do whatever I just feel like cheating isn’t the way to do it but if you want to that’s fine

according to earlier, missions are "too easy" and haz5 is "not fun"
this is my reasoning. my friend still low level he cant beat haz5 without overclock 😐

if he isnt promoted how does he have an overclock
lone olive
Then play with your friend and help him.

if he isn't carrying his weight in haz5 i doubt he could do so in EDD tbh
even with 2 active perks and meta overclocks

or im assuming you were just saying he cant beat haz5

There are only a few options here buddy:
- You and your mates help your new player friend to promotions
- Your new player friend plays on his own till he gets promoted
- You accept that you can't play together because all of you are too stubborn and stop whining.

i was asking a cheat/mod for quick exp, not gameplay
supple remnant
well what i got from it is that they dont want to play with their friend to help level them up, but instead they want to get him to cheat and get promotion
still geode
to me, it sounds like the best option is to just try and play with randoms
supple remnant
but yeah if you want to just look it up
still geode
playing with randoms has been a very very pleasant experience for me in DRG, and from the sound of it your friend hasn't tried it out yet either (and potentially the rest of the group? though i can't imagine getting a load of overclocks without ever playing random lobbies)
supple remnant
randoms are fun af
still geode
this way your friend can get both the levels required to promote and also the experience with the game to play haz5/edd properly, and if everyone is experienced with the game you can also try out modded hazard levels together without one person being left behind
pallid helm
randoms are fun af
ppl have different opinion, for me I dont like playing alone/with randoms. we just like having fun playing together with discord voice chat
still geode
that is also the mindset i had coming into this game
and that is a mindset that suited me very well for many other games
yet in this case, random lobbies were great
if your friend has done like 10 random games and didn't have fun, that's a fine opinion to have, but if they haven't tried it due to experiences in other games, they're definitely missing out a lot

one near dreadnought cocoon, one at the bottom, and one in the second cave which can be accessed by a tunnel somewhat near the bottom

finding the wells wasn't really the issue they had, it was actually traversing the cavern to get around and also the driller absolutely losing their mind trying to read a 3d map of the place while setting up pipes

oh wait i replied the wrong message

number 1 tip as driller for DD stage 2 is that you can drill anywhere

ironically enough its not that hard to set up the pipes in stage 2 if you just drill around the cave

someone was asking where the wells were

i didn't have much trouble setting up tunnels for pipes

just take an extra resupply and waste the fuel, nitra isn't that tight imo

but the shredders are exactly why lethal enemies is so annoying on caretaker

Engi shredder nades clear them hassle free. Driller drills clear them hassle free. Scout can outrun them so someone else can take care of em. Gunner is really the only one who would have any problem with them assuming you don't have minigun or coilgun

How's EDD this week <:nice:643903913203859466>
Really hard. Everything seemed to be going poorly for me (as a green beard), failed on last stage of caretaker. Then I realised afterward that I’d selected a blank profile with no weapon or armour mods 😑

Had a good EDD with some randoms. Double engi, no driller. I took hyper prop for the dreads and sabotage, and EM discharge stubby for CC. Was pretty great, tons of nitra, team was kind of speed running it by not asking "ready" often and still came out fine. EM discharge with quick build turrets is very good at defending and the double engineer handled the swarm pretty well. Good job for a team of mostly lvl 30-ish players.

its easier if you remember the fact that walking up to each mule triggers a wave, and not having everyone trigger each one at once

On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate the difficulty of this week's EDD? (React with the number on this message)

Kinda hard to communicate it too when there’s a giant cave and bugs everywhere

Can’t find the number but I give it a 3
Just played with randoms like usual and we weren’t even close to getting wiped or anything
I think once during the whole edd two people were down at once but other than that it was easy
grand pasture
Yeah, Ind sabotages with lethal enemies can be surprisingly easy
supple remnant
One of the hacking stations was weird bc our signal got disconnected throughout but easy fix
Mhm
Engi’s drones to deal with the shredders
And the caretaker’s arms are easy to deal with if you just don’t get to close
grand pasture
Last week's EDD was even easier for it considering the great cave generation
supple remnant
And even if you do a power attack takes them out
Yeah last week was a bit easier for me

Had a driller on my team who accidentally joined the Edd (said at the end of it that they clicked this one instead of regular) and he didn’t know the c4 strat. I told him in 3 seconds how to do it and he did it perfectly
green wigeon
its easier if you remember the fact that walking up to each mule triggers a wave...
For sabo…what exactly triggers the waves? Walking up to the mules or pulling the mule legs? Just curious
old widget
for salvage, both trigger waves
walking up to the minimule triggers a medium-ish wave after a delay, and one of the four legs associated with each minimule is boobytrapped and will trigger a small-ish wave after a delay
this is a research results post from a few years ago that describes it pretty well, I think the mechanism hasn't changed: #wiki-related-chatroom message
EDIT: I guess this is actually codified in the wiki now, https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/Salvage_Operation#Salvage_Mini-M.U.L.Es

still accurate to what you said afaik
last EDD we had 2 eggs broken as 1 person ran to a mule, we did not survive, gotta plan it out

It’s actually not that bad
Stage 1 and 2 together took no more than 35 mins and then stage 3 took about 25 mins but it was still simple

yey finally beat EDD on 3rd try with friends, cryo not the worst, but not the easiest when its haz 5.5 lethal enemies

Out of curiosity what was the spool-up time on your cryo build? when I was first starting out I struggled with getting H5 bugs frozen in time to avoid getting chomped, tuning the spool-up time lower helped a surprising amount.

What is the c4 strat?
supple remnant
It’s when you drill above the caretaker and drop c4 on the top of it
It does massive damage to the caretaker
supple remnant
Oh lol
coral pond
It takes 2 max damage satchel charges to kill all the vents on haz5 4p scaling iirc
supple remnant
Yep
coral pond
Radius increase isn't required but is a nice safety net if you miscalculate the throw
supple remnant
It’s good to drop a resup above where the driller is so he can easily resupply without having to come back down
The driller might want to come down some but if you have decent teammates they should be just fine down there
prisma oriole
Was fatboy nerfed by any chance
