Holy * that difficulty spike
second stage of the edd this week was the hardest of the 3. You can do it!
alpine smelt
I don't find the 0.5 difficulty to be the difference maker in a lot of them.
Like EDD3 is H5.5
But it's easier than EDD2 in this week.
An ugly combination of modifiers / uncooperative terrain is what will put a stop to a dive run.
cunning pond
Its easier if you don't pay attention to the numbers and just imagine its haz3 and haz5 and focus on the actual map.
It barely changes anything.
alpine smelt
Yeah, I think a Haz4.5 point extraction is far more likely to put an end to you than a 5.5 mining expedition if you aren't playing the mission objective.
lusty dew
Just tried it once, failed at the dreadnaught + haunted ...
It’s not really being haz 5 that makes that hard, it’s because eggs are the primary objective so there’s not much in the way of cave generation and you’ve got two big enemies chasing you around that tiny cave

You can do that, or you can just do things quickly

a lot of slowdowns also work on the ghost

Ideally Driller or Scout should be kiting, because they have the best tools to either do it effectively and force the ghast to do nothing (i.e., making tunnels as the Driller, which may also help the team with map traversal), and Scout can switch between kiting and doing objectives relatively easy
Scout can also pull all eggs and then Pheromone the ghost, so that the entire swarm is obliterated by the funny bulk ghast
Or at least a good portion of it is consecutively diminished

Dude wtf going on with the EDD this week?
didn't know management was sending us to the fucking gates of hell
still geode
EDD was pretty chill IMO
just some basic coordination and discussing teamwork plans beforehand so that when things go badly people know what to fall back to helps a lot
for stage2 driller cleared some stuff so we had room to move, lots of deaths but never really anything that threatened the mission - just make sure someone keeps pinging the horror and calling out if it gets close to someone
and stage 3 was no issue at all, just regular refinery mission
i find no o2 to be blown massively out of proportion for refinery since you stay in one general area and have easy mobility due to the pipelines, so you just but a few resupplies in smart locations and have a predetermined spot to fight waves in and its perfectly fine
some of the cave sections throughout the three stages had some annoying vertical sections, but just have your driller bypass those by drilling stairs

This week's EDD should be easy except mission 2, but the thing about mission 2 is that it isn't really a test of your mechanical skill. It's a test of your puzzle solving.
You don't need good aim or great moves. You just need someone like engineer to smooth out the starting room with some platforms so you can run in circles around it to escape the horror while either Bosco or a second player grabs the objectives while you monitor the cave horror.

yeah more or less, i opted for driller and second run through i smoothed it out and made multiple connections between the upper spawn and that lower area, making it both easily loopable on their own and between eachother, helped a decent amount
stone yacht
for stage2 driller cleared some stuff so we had room to move, lots of deaths but...
Lol for my run we I had 3 green beards and someone accidentally spawned dread during an egg, so we had swarm too and then driller didn't clear out the cave at all so we fought all of this unprepared.
I've never clutched a mission so hard in my life. We survived it but stage 2 took very long and many rezs later.
My teammates had around 25-35 deaths. In that range. Most of it from stage 2. Meanwhile I had 5 (mainly terror when running from dread). It was an experience for sure.

Mandalorian (Greenbeard, Gunner, also dps and life saver)
At stage 3 we have a lot of nitra from last 2 stage about 250
We call 1, 2 every middle of pipelines so we don't die at lacking of O2.
Every time a swarm came. We stick together in one place with 2 supply pot to support o2
Back against a wall and make a firing poisition
pliant yoke
A relatively flat ground already makes a decent fighting position
A wall can help, but bugs can flank you from above, so unless your Engie faces their turrets against the wall, you probably will have a bad time fending them off
pliant yoke
Sounds a bit overkill, unless the cave is really big

Due to constantly on fire
Cryo bolt is not much my favourite cuz it take 2 to freeze something
While fire bolt you just need one and they already on fire
I love How teamwork make a elite deep dive like a walk in the park
pliant yoke
Cryo Bolt only ever comes in handy when you either can spare your primary ammo to kill what you need, or you want to dispatch a threat over a long distance before it closes in (say, a breeder or a group of Mactera)
Fire Bolt I can agree is probably one of the better options you can spec the Boltshark for, especially since Scout doesn’t have many swarm-clearing options

Teamwork in general makes any mission a cakewalk, provided that each player is somewhat knowledgable about what they are doing

Agree, the cave is the main enemy in EDD2. Having an engineer or a driller to smooth out the terrain so you can run in circles better is going to make your life a lot easier.
Thing is that if you can make it past EDD2, you probably have it in the bag. EDD3 is a small map so the oxygen isn't a big deal. The bugs are basically out of tricks for EDD3.
Also, if you are struggling with a DD, then you definitely should press on. Overcoming struggles is where you improve the most in a game. Fighting easy battles mostly just maintains your skill. Fighting difficult battles is how one gits gud.

That's cause it scales the shooting game part of DRG.
The mining game part of DRG doesn't change at all.
Oh? 1 player? Grab 8 eggs but the bugs die instantly
4 players??? Still get 8 eggs.
But now the bugs eat four times as many bullets.
Not those exact ratios but you get the point.

No with friends

stage 2 of EDD is very reliant on a driller
junior forum
Relatively new so not many OCs

the areas are terrible for fighting the dread with the horror so you need your driller to clear out space so that you can move around properly

if you're using the room i used, do eggs first, because you'll have to get the eggs out of the way to use that room anyway

Don't regular interval swarms stop or slow during boss fights.

i also found stage3 to be fairly easy so don't be afraid to dip into your nitra reserves on stage2
going into stage3 with <80 nitra but like 75%+ ammo should be good enough

Im just concerned about the OC 😅
cunning pond
Isn't it low O2 last stage
still geode
yes but its a very compact map layout and there are a few easy nitra veins
cunning pond
if it's low O2.
Just use supply pods as oxygen pods.
Of course I don't respect low O2 so I always die to it at least five times
still geode
you can easily find enough nitra to put a resupply halfway each pipe you build and then pick one of those as your location to hold the waves and put down an extra resupply near it so you have more room to move
ye, low o2 refinery really isn't a big deal if you're smart about where you put resupplies
cuz you stay in the same general area a lot and the pipes allow fast movement around said area
still geode

olive sluice
stage 2 is horrible if your team gets in a bad situation
but otherwise its manageable if people manage eggs and training the ghost
ironically i had a better time with a 3 man group instead of 4, less bugs overall and less targets for the ghost so theres more room to move

For some reason, using the boltshark with trifork, once I went down a stage in the deep dive

Dealing with the initial swarm + the horror on edd2 is really difficult for me
Literally every time the whole team goes down in that first room
We can only keep going because somebody has iron will and even then it’s not guaranteed
empty hedge
yup
stage 2 edd is a pain
try the dreadnought before the eggs and kite the horror around spawn room
formal canopy
I put zip lines everywhere as a quick means of escape from dread+horror and also called a bunch of resupplies so the team could iron will and survive as a last resort. There is tons of nitra and loot bugs in EDD 3 so there was no reason to hold any excess nitra in EDD 2

as long as yer scout isnt potatoe.
ur team can make a comeback
unless your team really died in super uncomfortable places
where its legit impossible for scout to revive.
🤣
he has no choice but to wipe em or at least reduce their numbers.
gunner can do that too cuz shields.
tiny ivy
I've finally completed my first EDD and yeah, stage 2 was very painful mainly because we had to constantly evade horror and hiveguard. Good thing is that cave generated in such a way that you can easily loop enemy if you have gunner in your team.

When I first tried the Edd it felt like my team was working against me. Scout kept calling molly to him to deposit stuff that was not eggs while I had two eggs on me. Gunner kept running off and dying and the engineer… oh boy. This goblin bastard kept hoovering up resupplys and called 2 within the space of 5 minutes. He then triggered the dreadnought during a swarm.
2nd attempt with more experienced players went better.

that's a fun approach, basically two EDD-level challenges per week but you still get progression
grim wadi
yep! just confirmed it works, "Custom Difficulty" mod + "All Deep Dives Hazard 5" mod

Wait, does it convert regular DD into EDD difficulty scale (from 4.5 up to 5.5), or is it locked at hazard 5?
grim wadi
i think just haz 5, would be nice if it was the former though, i thiiiiiink you can force any extra difficulty you want but i need to test further to be sure, like custom haz 6 etc, but it'd likely be the same for all 3 levels
im curious if it affects any seeded spawn stuff people expect out of the DD too, i assume the terrain gen stays the same

Yeah, it locks all stages to one Haz level.
Terrain stays same, static enemy count and location is likely to change

Forgot to do this week review
Stage 1: every can be handle easily. At the death pit. You might want to to put some zipline, or Driller tunnel another short cut to the next room so you don't have climb up. The black box have a fancy defence position. If you don't have Driller you might want to climb out of hold frist before calling Drop pod
Stage 2: Better keep tactic gun and run if you don't want to get caught by the ghost. Keep voice chat to eachother to know who being tag by the ghost . Collect eggs frist then do Hiveguard. When fighting hiveguard keep going up using tunnel to go full circle.
Stage 3: Low o2 is the worse. For that I recommend everyone stay in the pod a bit until the refined came then get out. Scout and Engi have to really work to collect NITRA as soon as possible cuz the swarm show no mercy on this stage. When building pipe recommend call 1 supply in the middle of the pipe so Everyone don't die on by low o2 If it longer pipe call 2. Make a firing poisition and call 2 supply stick together so if someone down other can pick you up fast. When it done call the pod Asap and get out of there

For stage 2, I actually wonder if popping dread right after clearing welcome party would be better. Kill the first batch of sentinels, then you've got literally zero enemies to deal with except HG and ghost while you prep/get nitra/etc. (since dread spawns block ambient waves, which do add constant ammo pressure even on egg hunt)

but can he shoot his fireball tho?
old widget
sure, but HG only aggros to one dwarf at a time
worst case you have two dwarves kiting, one kiting ghost, one kiting HG, while the other dwarves grab nitra and prep terrain
definitely risks getting into a death spiral though with two dwarf instakilling machines walking around
marble token
also how does the agro mechanic work actually
never tried to check in all of my time playing
old widget
AFAIK it's just random, every X seconds the ghost or dread does a check within a range of Y meters for dwarves, and randomly picks one within range to path towards/attack
old widget
not sure!
this is based entirely on 1k+ hours of observing/playing, haven't looked at the gamefiles though it should be there (somewhere)
old widget
you can see the range mechanic of ghost aggro in play if you do haunted cave mining missions, if someone has ghost aggro and the rest of the team goes down to the next chamber, that one person will keep aggro forever

The biggest enemies in EDD2 are the terrain and yourself.
If you are an engineer, building some bridges out of platforms to let yourself run in circles around the starting room makes it a lot easier to fight and move away from both the boss and the horror.
EDD2 mainly tests your puzzle solving skills rather than your gunnery.

the normal difficulty deep dive was almost underwhelming difficulty wise, but the elite dive - man, that will be hard to beat!

Welcome! One small tweak you may want to consider is to swap in sweet tooth for thorns, that extra health from red sugar can add up over time, especially since thorns has a cap on how fast it procs and it won't really save you from H5/5.5 swarmer piles/jelly clouds.
As far as meta builds, there's a wealth of info on YT given the size of the DRG community. If you have some specific questions around class builds, feel free to ask!

stage 3 is quite boring this week. Hardly painless, but if you can get through stage 2 you'll be comfortably bored by the end of 3.
dusty cairn
so low O2 isn't a big deal
Low 02 sucks, but it's mostly just another rotation that you are obligated to keep in mind. Low 02 gets giga toxic on lengthy mining missions with complex caves because there's a constant battle of needing to backtrack for oxygen or juggling molly so the people up in the ceiling don't die in really awful locations. (For real, if you're up high and about to asphyxiate because you made a mistake/forgot and you don't have time to get down safely, just take the L and yeet yourself off a cliff so the team doesn't need to spend 10 minutes getting you.)
On site refining is the oposite of that. Relatively dense caves, with enormous amounts of backtracking, and hugely abundant nitra. You also have ease of traversal because you can freely ride pipes back and forth. That means that you can call down a resupply nearby the far off pumpjack(s) and still easily access them later for health and ammo as required.
Plan to plan ahead with ressup placement and you'll be chilling.

dusty cairn
IMO a big way to make the 2nd one less awful is to have a driller put in multiple paths between rooms and a few side passages around the rooms, so you're never cornered between the ghost and the dread. Focus on staying within a room and only duck down an escape when forced to.

@rugged portal I see we got a lot of Breathing room in this week EDD
Also you forgot to pin the message
eager flame
Me?
queen rampart
Not you?
eager flame
Idk
queen rampart
I guess he/she busy today
steel python
No wait, those are last week's
eager flame
Should it be me? I don't the permissions for it, just did the formatting because the other guy said he was covering for muffin
eager flame
The EDD stage 1 can be wrong, i can't play right now to confirm since i'm at work, but it seems like one of the dreads spawn out of a swarm
steel python
Funny how the ghosts of last week return to haunt this week
queen rampart
4 egg haunted cave
We do it like last time we did
eager flame
Last week haunted dread was piss awful
queen rampart
Run and Gun
rugged portal
well the cave gen was good
steel python
At least, the dread is the twins and not the lazy af hiveguard
rugged portal
ill probably go driller this week
wraith shard
The dread is random on stage 1 I believe
eager flame
Only hiveguard guaranteed then?
nocturne owl
i got hiveguard and classic on my run
zenith ember
all info is right
wraith shard
Yep yep same
zenith ember
dd stage 1 has a big room, the ghost shouldnt be too bad
wraith shard
I got bet c on 2nd stage
zenith ember
no betc stage 1?
zenith ember
wait edd or dd
wraith shard
Edd
zenith ember
oh
eager flame
High chance bet-c Stage 1 and 2, multiple people said they got atleast one of those
worthy bolt
Funny how the ghosts of last week return to haunt this week
one solution, full ammo breach cutter LWC
wraith shard
I got none in dd
eager flame
on DD stage 1?
edd 2
worthy bolt
ohg
eager flame
edd1 *
wraith shard
Edd3 was pure pain for me
zenith ember
looking back my first edd attempt has some god awful rng lol, all possible spawns got ticked
wraith shard
Yea and got over swarmed xD
eager flame
Fire should do the trick, no?
zenith ember
fire bad against betc and dreads
grim wadi
i guess ill find how well acid will work on them this run too
eager flame
true
wraith shard
Nah not with that many Pretorians
zenith ember
my clear had a ice driller, the rival presence wasnt that bad
wraith shard
I was running a solid 6 minute around till the pod came xD
eager flame
Anything out of the ordinary? Or is it just a normal EDD? (Aside from that rng that guy got)
wraith shard
The 1st and 2nd stage are a piece of cake nothing to worry tbh
grim wadi
plenty o nitra?
wraith shard
I'd say save as much nitra as you can for the 3rd stage cuuuz my team ran out pretty quickly
dense shoal
last stage was a mess, we were 2 people and the enemies didn't stop spawning. Out of ammo so we just focused on objective and nemesis spawned
so we just spent half the last stage kiting and finally finishing it
tulip idol
Nemesis could be easily dealt with, there are 4 different kinds of solutions against him.
dense shoal
We had no ammo, I think host left mods on
because there were lots more spawns than usual, we had been messing with swarm control for the past week and yesterday
but can't say for sure
At least we got done with it. It was just annoying since point extract got dragged on for too long
zenith ember
Ooo didnt encounter nemesis, sounds like a nightmare on 3rd stage
high urchin
why has it been fungus bogs 3 WEEKS IN A ROW ,, im dying
night talon
why has it been fungus bogs 3 WEEKS IN A ROW ,, im dying
Fungus bogs can always eat it. It's such a slog
dark nova
What are this weeks dives like? I don’t think they’ve updated the pinned message
dark nova
Thank you!!!
eager flame
wheat stone
the elite this week looks hard but i’ve never beaten an elite solo before so
unkempt saffron
the edd isnt too bad, though the final stage has some unfavorable terrain imo
oblique crown
just got trapped in an alley with a dead end by a det for stage 3
unkempt saffron
yeah its kinda claustrophobic, and hectic at the start with the turrets
oblique crown
totally doable tho, a lot easier than last week
bleak charm
What is the today EDD?
unkempt saffron
What is the today EDD?
eager flame
oh it hasnt been updated
Muffin is busy
prisma dove
Yeah I was just streaming the EDD and we had an unfortunate web spitter shot that killed me. Was in a duo with a buddy
Bulk right at the start
sonic shuttle
the most boring fight ever
The fight is actually pretty easy with Scout. You can bait the ghost into slamming, which does a lot of damage to the Hiveguard's exposed weakpoints.
rose yacht
looking back my first edd attempt has some god awful rng lol, all possible spawn...
My first solo EDD had a freaking robot claw beast showing up.
I was scout.
LMAO
grim wadi
another nemesis spotted, woot
rose yacht
I Expected a reward from killing nemesis
grim wadi
bombs is a kind of reward
rose yacht
was utterly decimated realizing i blowed through all my ammo trying to kill it.
only to get bomb as a reward
lmao
tight willow
safe grove
Which difficulty does this EDD have? Like 4.5, 5 or 5.5?
dense pebble
Same as always. 4.5/5/5.5 in stages 1/2/3
safe grove
Oh... I thought it is randomly chosen for a whole mission...
tulip idol
It's specifically crafted for Deep Dives, except 5 ofc. I take it as Hazard 4, Hazard 5, Hazard 5.
dense pebble
Thats the idea pretty much
grizzled pawn
If molly is fast enough ill beat my fastest dd time
rose yacht
on the plus side its more focused on obj than side mission that regular missions spits out.
grizzled pawn
Im at 33:52 and Molly is going to the drop pod about 150m away
Prob like 180 actually
Mt fastest is 36:40~
Almost there
dense pebble
You can glitch inside the pod
grizzled pawn
Cmon
