as of now muffin haven't updated for this week lmao
the actual this week dd/edd you have to scroll up a bit
they literally added the date recently too

ohhhhh I see
right, so with that in mind, best to use flamer for EDD imo
dreads + rival presence

you want big single target oc for your secondary though

might not be super useful for stage 1 but haz4.5 dreads arent all that threatening so with a half decent team it ought to be fine with flamer yeah

o man even EDD stage 2 caught us up a bit, rolly bois kept coming at us in tight tunnels hitting us like bowling pins
the third stage was indeed exausting, pretty much no time to breathe
finite vigil
ok, what the fuck is stage 2
we had a handle on the initial swarm then exploders zoomed in out of nowhere
rolly boys too
AND THEN A BULK SPAWNED
grim wadi
oh unlucky, we got a bulk stage 3 only, wasnt much issue
finite vigil
swarm went from 0-11 real quick
grim wadi
yeah the no open areas in stage 2 was an issue, at the bottom theres more room, but thats where our betc was
we opted to not trigger it and just egg and leave lol
we only had a betc on one stage, not 2 like some had
no rando dread either
morkite smuggler is just cursed i guess
tropic slate
hows edd

bulk popped an egg for my group right at the end of a swarm lol.

didn't help that our dumbass scout kept dying in places we couldn't reach.

yeah with that madness, i kept saying to my self "if im gonna die im dying in the middle" and die i did
our 2 gunners made a nice web of lines too
finite vigil
doesn't help that the biome makes the nitra harder to see
lusty dew
we opted to not trigger it and just egg and leave lol
Yeah the BET-C had two spawns as far as we could tell
If it spawned in the second egg room you could just completely ignore it
Unless your engi gets bowling pinned by a youngling into it

ugh

i got 4 bulk spawns

bet-c made the edd hard
it spawned on stage 1 and 2
lost the second one
skill issue
woeful garden
we killed bet-c, got a swarm, 2 bulks at the same time, passed trough the swarm, grabbed the first egg and another swarm, got to the second egg, another swarm, more 2 bulks
bleak charm
I got bet-c with bulk and shit-tons of grunts slashers swarm
and no ammo
and a very closed room
wraith flame
and dying in the spike pit
This is exactly what happened to my run. Driller blew C4 on an egg without asking, we were in spike pit directly under a Bet-C we didn't fight yet. So we got a wave, Bet-C, and a bulk while in the bottom of a very small pit. Was doom as soon as driller blew the c4
grim wadi
i got 4 bulk spawns
the fuck, rng goin crazy

the key to stage 2, as far as i can tell, was 'dont fight in the stupid cramped vertical pit of death, you idiots'

that sounds really fuuun

I never had trouble stage 2
Stage 3 royally fucked me
I left the drop pod and was greeted by a nice bulk detonator, nemesis, and three sniper turrets along with a few glyphids
hollow shale
the key to stage 2, as far as i can tell, was 'dont fight in the stupid cramped ...
That was the worst. Swarm and bulk detonator in that pit. Somehow managed survive that cave despite spending 5+ minutes in it.
Also rather surprising having BETCs on 2 of the stages.

EDD wasn't too bad, though I peaced out with the rest of the team dead on stages 2 and 3

On this week's EDD 3 it's really easy to disable all the turrets, just have the driller take a hard right after leaving the pod, dig towards the root of the turret controller and hack it, having at least one dwarf to watch his back, since the bugs will likely come down the tunnel

If you have one or two resups of nitra available going into it, you can probably just rush all the aquarqs as soon as the initial chaos is over
everyone else will likely be nabbing some nitra here and there as they come across it, and tons of the aquarqs are really high up, so it's good to dig em up and chuck em down right away, you can likely have them all deposited within 4-5 minutes of starting if you're speedy
severe tusk
I have not played it yet, but it looks like stage 3 of the EDD this week is 200 Morkite and 2 Eggs with Lethal enemies, not Aquarqs.
next blaze
The pin this week has the DD on the bottom this time :p
severe tusk
Oh, sorry, you're right 😛
next blaze
it surprised me too, going into it!
severe tusk
greasedfish, are you doing solo scout or playing in groups?
runic relic
any advice (scout specific)
Snipe from spawn all you can in stage 3, use the time of peace after the first wave to get the aquarqs in the sidecave up top, get both eggs last and then just focus on survival for the droppod. You should go into stage 3 stocked with some nitra so dont waste time on it if you dont need to and resup generously.
grim wadi
regular DD haz 5 edition did not go well https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/529674786620571658/1099094260600549446/Deep_Rock_Galactic_replay_2023.04.21-22.49_001.mp4

what kind of events are in this week's edd?
pastel lantern
i dunno if there was something with the spawns but EDD 3 just kept spawning wave after wave with basically no rest
grim wadi
yeah, haz 5.5 + rival gives you little room to breathe
lusty dew
i dunno if there was something with the spawns but EDD 3 just kept spawning wave...
That’s a certified Point Extraction moment
You gotta go fast
The longer you take the stronger and more frequent the waves get until you run out of ammo and die
pastel lantern
yeah but there was basically NO time between waves
even regular spawns were the size of normal waves in non EDD
round cedar
yeah I noticed that right after the bunny event started
raonmdomly getting waves that never end and are really large
by the time we cleared that wave another one was spawning
not sure of the mission type though
rugged portal
on point extraction after 15 minutes the bug spawn constantly
pastel lantern
except the constant spawning initially made us go past 15 lol
kinda hard to get aquarks when there are constant waves every other minute
grim wadi
helped that i went sludge pump and epc persistent plasma, slows and hurts em as i run away and drill
our scout was mostly just screaming
somehow our gunners managed to get quarks with ziplines lol
dense pebble
I had a moment like that on a regular mission
But I was also the only one alive in a 4 man haz 4
And as Scout I couldn’t kill fast enough
Sure, I never died, but I did eventually run out of ammo
400 kills though.
clever topaz
if i lose connection during an elite deep dive, am i able to rejoin the mission?
cause the info tab says I can, but it doesn't look like there's a way to do it
tacit jungle
And as Scout I couldn’t kill fast enough
If you find yourself as scout fighting bugs for any period of time, you should find something more useful to do. If you're the last one standing, find a way to lead the bug swarm away from a teammate, then bounce back and try to sneak in a rez

I did a few times.

I did call down a lot of resups... maybe it was my fault as the scout for not getting the eggs fast enough
are egg waves set in dds? will the first egg popped always spawn a wave
grim wadi
it seems random for the order, but the amount of waves they will spawn are pretty deterministic
i cant remember the exact stats, but if theres 2 eggs, 1 of them will be an announced swarm etc

3rd mission for this week's Elite Deep Dive was pretty fun.
Despite being a mining game, sometimes DRG can capture an assault pod space marine attack better than full action games.
The pod is immediately attacked by the bugs who who between the spitball infectors with overwatch acting like artillery cannons to the hardened turrets the Rival Presence spawns makes it feel like you're being dropped into a battlezone to crush the enemy's front line rather than mine the 7 aquarqs you're actually being sent to grab.
After hitting an egg spawned swarm wave directly into a normally spawning swarm wave, my pal was like "Oh god, another wave? They're stacking on top of each other!"
While I was like "WHAT A GLORIOUS DAY FOR BATTLE!"

Nemesis is not effective in EDD3 though because it is vulnerable in wide open areas.
The main thing it does is waste your time and invite the next wave in.

i usually just run resupplier, thorns, vampire, or swapping out for born ready if a class could help with it, then always dash (unless scout then maybe heightened senses), and iron will (unless im gunner then field medic)

I have never done a deep dive before. How long is a deep dive?
Also what is an elite deep dive?
uneven lichen
A deep dive is essentially 3 regular missions long
An elite deep dive is the same as a normal deep dive but harder
lusty dew
I have never done a deep dive before. How long is a deep dive?
Depends on how competent you/your team is, could be 15 minutes if you speedrun, more likely it will be 30 minutes to an hour. Deep dives are 3 missions with two objectives each, back to back to back, at hazard 3, 3.5 and 3.5. Resources like Nitra, health, and ammo are shared between stages. Elite deep dives are pretty much the same but are hazard 4.5, 5 and 5.5.
The first stage will award a blank core, the second a weapon overclock, and the third a cosmetic overclock, only one DD and one EDD per week though, they can't be farmed.
Also outside of potentially a Huuli hoarder, regional resources do not spawn to prevent farming.
Also to clarify, time spent heavily depends on the week

Mission 3 in Elite Deep Dive is pretty spicy. It's a lot of fun though.
I think my biggest tips are to...
- Clear out the initial bugs that will attack you even as you drop pod is opening including the Spitball Infectors that will have overwatch on you. Look on the ledges above you.
- When you exit the drop pod ramp, there's a ledge on the right that leads directly to the Turret Controller. Have the team clear the area and hack the Turret Controller ASAP.
That will reduce the threat level immensely. Then it's just a matter of collecting the objectives in a timely manner.

I have been testing the fat-boy build and it is very viable in hazard 5. If you use the fatboy well you are a killing machine.
In my last game I killed about 1000 bugs in 28 minutes with fat-boy build. Also say that it was extraction (hazard 5-only) with enchanted cave and parasites, so possibly the deaths from them have doubled.

just use LUREs with Fat Boy
shoot fat boy on a big group, throw a lure in the radiation cloud

Last weeks second stage was as far as we've ever gotten and that was brutal. This weeks first was easier to figure out but we died at the hiveguard and I'm wondering if there are ways we could be improving in general. i.e. moving faster, coordinating defense better, killing dreadnaughts faster
truthfully any tips help
maybe there's just something obvious i've overlooked
old widget
Just play play play, and don’t be discouraged. Bronze 3 is still learning the ropes.
95% of staying alive in DRG is positioning. Try loading into a Haz5 mission and simply kite. Shoot the minimum amount of things to stay alive and focus on not getting hit. PE works well as bugs are constantly generating. Maybe load into an Elimination mission and pop the dread egg and learn its attack cycles and movement. Always, always, always be moving and watch for bugs sneaking behind you. If you get bit even once, the bugs are too close, so use power attack and/or Dash perk to let you reposition. Eventually, with practice, it will become second nature.
Also, wear a good set of headphones and you’ll learn to hear bugs coming from beyond your field of view - the game has great positional audio (even with simple stereo) and unique audio cues for every bug.
rocky ferry
Bronze three is still learning the ropes huh? Well I cant wait to see what having learned all the ropes looks like for me. I figured this would be the answer to just play more. I guess I just wondered if there was anything easily overlooked by greenbeards. Thanks for the tips I'll have to practice

Mostly AxisKronos, and LazyMaybe for general useful information about how certain things work
But primarily AxisKronos, because I generally agree with the way he handles and comprehends certain resources in-game
coral pond
LazyMaybe is great for breaking down weapons, weapon mods, and overclocks
rocky ferry
ive definitely looked at breakdowns of weapons and loadouts for higher hazards from both of them so that helps a lot
brazen pasture
I've decided that the EDD is impossible
I've tried it around 10 times now
and i'm slowly losing my mind
severe tusk
Both of those guys have really good information to learn from. AxisKronos kind of speedruns everything, which is a playstyle you don't have to emulate to do well. Being able to do things quickly is helpful when resources are tight, but for most people when you try to do things too fast you can also get careless and make mistakes. While I am not slow, I just play the game to chill, so I don't speedrun. Do what is fun for you, but just make sure your teammates are on the same page if you are wanting to rush things.
For those who do find themselves dying a lot my top recommendation is probably just to always keep moving and jumping, especially when swarms are around you. Find large areas to fight in so that you can kite. Dash is a great bailout skill and can even operate through getting slowed by slashers and the like. When you go down or fail a mission take a few moments to think about what went wrong and how you could have done something differently to survive. Every game of DRG is unique, but you find yourself in familiar situations frequently. So the more situations you can figure out the solutions to, the higher your win rate will become in the future.
When playing Gunner, get used to using your shield preemptively before you and your team would take damage, not just as a means to safely revive someone. It's a super powerful tool. As Scout, practice grappling over swarms during fights constantly to reposition and rarely get hit and Illuminate chambers! Engineer can set up strong defenses with turrets and proximity mines when you need to hold an area or just fight off a swarm. You can use his platforms to ward off bugs from approaching from certain directions. Driller can terraform areas with his drills and C4 to make them more wide open and easier to fight in. There are a ton of little nuances to the game you pick up as you play and get more experience, but focus on doing the things I mentioned, and you should soon become a lot more successful.
