exploder infestation and shield disruption + volatile guts are both pretty annoying
but overall i didn't find it to be that hard
just need to be careful at all times in stage 1 and 2
escort 
1k+ total nitra on the entire dd
i did edd with some randoms i found on a mission and we did well
we ofc got downed sometimes but we did well
I tried the edd, for the first dreadnought we burned through 2 supply pods and barely killed the thing. For the second we popped the cocoon early without clearing the room first, I died to a spitballer and the last guy got leeched.
Needing 2 resupplies for the twins is almost certainly poor builds
Well, after we failed the host put us on a haz 3 mission so I think he'd never tried an edd
And I wasn't my main dwarf bc there was already a gunner
Yeah, the first stage of this edd was really stressful if you ask me
i only find exploders stressful if they catch me in a lil hole i dug while i was getting minerals or something, otherwise you can just listen for them triggering near you and casually walk away, even when theyre chasing me while im wandering i just walk through them without much thought, theyre kinda harmless if you know how know the timing
tho mid fight with other things are another time they can surprise you
Coca cola espuma 'sploder mod is the best jumpscare ever
get a mod that replaces exploder sound with metal pipe falling 👍
never get blown up again
Is there any on mod.io?
theres one for axes but not exploder sounds
theres some other exploder ones on there though
I need to find this
_ _
ATTENTION MINERS!
Planet scanning is still in progress, 12 hours left until new
Deep Dives
!
_ _
I was doing the normal deep dive while using Mission Content Randomizer mod which made it so I had to collect 24 Eggs and 210 Hollomite, but I couldn't find ANY holomite... 🥲
Imagine popping all those eggs at once
how bad is the shield disruption
i wanna do the edd but shield disruption is making me ehhh
nvm guess ill find out
holy crap got my ass kicked in the elite deep dive with randos
i am not well accustomed to elite lol
guess its what i get for trying to do an elite with only a few days of playing after a long break while never having been that experienced
Engineer op for kill count though lmao
is the morkite pump placement random even in dds or no
nope
damn location is ass
and terrain is too
we breezed through 1 and 2 but got smacked in 3
where the platform lands seems to have some random too it, but not much, saw 3 placements the same but 1 different etc
Platform location is funny af
yeah the second time we had to do the edd for the platform higher up i said fuck that and made a huge ramp for us to go up and down, and primarily fight on the bottom area
i regret edding
i dont think ive ever gotten as unlucky as i was
i even died while INSDIE THE DROP POD
like yk the spitballer on the second stage right in front of the drop pod
we drop in i dont even move first shot i just die immediately
???
oh ya that guy
I think I got pretty lucky on the edd
Solo with big Bertha gunner
Did it first try
Which is good because I wasn’t gonna try again
How hard are these deep dives solo?
Depends if you need to get carried, id say usually easier
yeah me and my team just sat in the droppod shooting bugs until we could actually leave
stage 3 gen was wack but we just had our engie platform it to hell and back
nah we literally dropped in and the moment i could move i died
yeah thats what i was going to do
(it clearly did not work)
my scout kinda just ran out and died idk what happened to driller but i was stuck dead in drop pod for a bit till they could kill all the bugs
in my first EDD attempt I ran out to get away from the bugs, drilled dirt, and fell 20000000000000 feet
lol rip
why did the devs allow dirt there man it's just mean :((((
and the double leech down there too man
when is the deep dive dropping
6
whats public opinion on the DD
Pretty easy
im bit of a greenbeard with DD's, is there any haz diff with DD and EDD?
dam ok
wait no
dd is just 3 -> 3.5 -> 3.5
i ran solo dd with scout
dds never raise above 4. EDDs are always above 4
it was not fun
damn final dd stage is a salvage
i hated the escort stage 2
because i was playing scout, lucky i had special powder on the boomstick
but salvage was easy for the most part
i got to bunker somehow
i had like 700 nitra when i played it dont worry theres way too much of it in the caves
yeah im loaded
resupped only once
on second stage
doing it solo so swarms are like, totally fine
sitting at 526 nitra
was worried cause im driller
mactera plague was a concern, and then a grand total of like
25 mactera showed up
lol
driller easily deletes those with flamethrower
i got special powder core matrix from an assignemtn lmfao
im going to be a happy scout
It's not a bad OC, mind you
M1000 imo
i prefer gk2
Even in a Deep Dive, I always brind Doretta back
It took us 30min to collect all those eggs, a hoarde every 2-3 eggs. Then we realized there was no hollomite, so the deepdive was stuck and we had to leave
Maybe it’s a 10% average boost, but unlike BoM it’s not only against ailed targets, and unlike AISE, it can benefit from targets being Cryo’d without relying on WS damage
It’s a decent trade off, although realistically I do not yet know how much of a difference in killing certain bugs that damage spread can make
I’ll say this much: I’d rather use Homebrew on GK2 than spec into Fire Rate OCs and end up with more RoF than I feel comfortable with
Because comparing it to BoM and AISE is probably a little unfair for Homebrew in general
it's a filler oc
id rather have a consistent damage threshold
not noticeable enough like bulldog to meaningfully affect the gun
plus it's auto fire and low damage (comparatively)
AISE gives both insane accuracy and bonus weakpoint damage
so you hit more shots, and have excellent control over how many shots are needed per grunt
and also happen to do pretty well against single targets with weakpoints
idk, powder seems like garbage on the g2k
no thanks ill just mine gold instead 👍
ty
9 mins
*69 mins
pain
do something productive
alright
_ _
ATTENTION MINERS!
New
Deep Dives
will be available in one hour!
_ _
thank you MC very cool
Is it a good idea to run an autocannon gunner that focuses more on direct damage instead of AoE? Im about to deep dive for the first time
Soon™
that kind of thing
No OC's yet
Ohh aight gotcha
i think id run the minigun if you have no overclocks that or the hurricane
Whats in the DD this week?
not yet
_ _
ATTENTION MINERS!
New
Deep Dives
are now available!

Cool, a mixed bag of challenges inbound
EDD is looking very interesting in that regard
And quite fortunate it is that Escort Duty is the map with Low O2, since everyone will be hugging Doretta every now and again for oxygen
DORETTA!
ples give oxygen
t h a n k
seriously
why low o2
2 dreads exploder infestation
blegh
Thats what happens when you feed the 
hey its haz 3.5
its a free deep dive
Uhh... the one with the dreads is the normal deep dive
Dreadnought bugged mid DD
can we just have low o2 refinery like the other times instead
escort is chill af
until the driller thought it was a good idea to c4 3 of us
mfer
Escort over refinery
ive never had issues iwth low o2 refinery
just put a mediocre amount of effort into where u put ur resupplies and its ez
I just hate long distance refinery
dotty made the o2 warning kinda feel like a normal escort mission tbh
Escort with Low O2 is just as fun as refinery on said mutator 
i don’t really notice low o2 on escort at all
It’s probably fine
maybe i should take something more cc for secondary?
Shield disruption, fml.
i feel the last round is gonna be brutal
You can take Breach Cutter, if you are worried about packed big boy groups, but you will suffer against Oppressors
And Hyperprop deletes singular big bugs already, on demand
Killing something can be a bit like crowd control 
EDD this week looks easy
rip i just dc'd during stage 2 edd
The low O2 is on escort duty so there's little worry with oxygen with Dotty
Oof
It’s a comfortable level of challenge
sigh...
finished stage 2 of EDD, multiplayer session ended
when are the devs going to fix this shit
Season 5 
from what older players have said, GSG seems to have a nasty habit of adding more netcode issues every season
really hope they fix this shit
Are Lok 1 with explosive chemical rounds and green ammo breach cutter a good pair?
I mean, sure. It’s a little too much lean into AoE for my liking, but it probably can work
Again - Oppressors will likely give you trouble, but not much else
And against dreadnoughts ? I mean engineer builds
… I suppose Menaces might also be difficult to kill
if you run exec lok1 with breach cutter you can handle anything tbh
Do you have any other Loki OC than ECR?
Yep,5 of 6
why does normal deep dive have a cave that is not connected to main one?
Or every one of them
Refer to Ajfish’s comment then
BC with LWC or SPC, or Inferno and Loki with The Exec are all very strong options for a generalist build
Can you tell the numbers,please?
Which numbers exactly?
For exec
Of OCs? But I only remember the names 
Ok
Unless you mean mods?
11112 is the usual exec build, but t1b, t2c, and t3c are valid picks too depending on preference
Yep,all tiers
I've got gunner gold promotion,so I am engineer now
Refer to this for Exec Loki mod spec
As for BC…
21122/3 works for me
I just did my first sub 45 deep dive, but didn't get the achievement
did u havemods
yea
but only visual
All of my other achievements tracked without a problem
Or do you need absolutely zero mods?
nah approved ones are fine
super easy edd lol
sigh
failed EDD stage 2 on my second run
greenbeard scout and engi with me as the Gunner
wouldn't have this problem if this piece of shit game didn't disconnect my whole team on my first run
goddamn it.
wasted so much time
🙂
Ищу тимейта, я вчера игру скачал
you got that issue too? my team all got disconnected on the 3rd stage
what's this week's dd & edd?
check last pin
nvm I found it lol
thanks m8
np 
yep.
it really pisses me off
not the first time it happened either
did you try to solo finish? or did it happen at stage 1/2
its super easy when it doesnt say multiplayer session ended when going to the final stage
We were super good teh whole way
Then it jus kicked us before the final one
Yeah, it would be really nice QOL update to get host migration as a thing
yeah i got that too but i just rejoined and it was fine
There is your issue
not a good defense for the game
it shouldn't happen this consistently
nice
IT HAPPENED AGAIN.
that 1 cosmetic prob isnt worth the time, im getting the suspicion that the 3rd stage has some weird issue
whats the difference between deep dives and regullar missions?
the re-connect prompt actually worked this time
i just unlocked them
Im home in a bit then iö write yo back or somone else dos it
weird how people are having connection issues just as new deep dives come out, maybe theres just more people around to report it tho hrm
I only have cosmetics left 😔
also, booooooo shield disruption <#deep-dive-discussion message>
Deep dives are three missions back to back, with shared resources and health.
Each one has two primary objectives that must be completed and can have mutators like regular missions
If you play the edd this week find some greybeards to carry you bc that last stage haz5.5 shield disruption point extraction is gonna be brutal
They have difficulty scaling depending on the deep dive:
Normal Deep Dive is - Haz 3, Haz 3.5, Haz 3.5
Elite Deep Dive is - Haz 4.5, Haz 5, Haz 5.5
You can’t find regional resources in deep dives, and I believe events can’t happen either.
Each stage you complete on the deep dive gives you a matrix core, this goes for both dd and edd.
First is a blank, second is a weapon overclock, and third is a cosmetic
We were with 3, I saw another guy disconnect just before me so I think the host dc'ed
thanks
It was actually pretty easy
I think the second part was harder
holy this is crazy
For point extractions like that you just gotta just speedrun.
Don’t stay for too long or it will become unplayable as the scaling swarms will just overwhelm you
The spawn is really good as long as you have engi scout
ok thanks
Id say be out of there in 15 minutes or less
I feel like After 15 is when the unannounced swarms really ramp up, it becomes significantly more difficult to actually finish the objective
Yeah
You want to get your aquarks and leave as soon as possible
Bring a scout
Or a gunner, probably a gunner too
Bring yellow scout to
And red scout
Tru
Yea or do red scout with rj 250 and yellow scout for the swarmes
The four classes of DRG:
Rj250 is so fun i started using it and i cant go back now
Blue scout, yellow scout, red scout, and Gunner.
Same
The red scout with too much firepower for 1 person
You forgot the psyco and green scout
Ok but the psyco exsists
True
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2968438257 does anyone have any experience with this guide and how has it caused any issues?
Wait wat do you mean how it has coused any issues
like, any noticable missing texture problems or interactibility problems etc
in a deep dive and i cant fidn the last aquarq 😭
No I have no experience with this guide
Run very fast and seek it
There is another cave that isn't connected to the main one for some reason. You can see it on the map and will have to dig to it.
yeah i just found ouit 😭
uugh looks like edd stage 3 crashes alot
i love stage 3 disconnect
😓
oof
hopefully the devs find a way to fix or maybe just reroll it? not sure what to do about that other than poke them
from reddit it sounds like the host is fine, but all clients lose connection as soon as stage 3 loads, not sure how successful the reconnects are, but my host is sitting next to me so we might try it still and ill try to reconnect if it happens, give the other guys a heads up to reconnect if it happens
yeah thats what happened to my room, but nobody attempted to reconnect
sadge
happened to my room
everyone quickly reconnected thankfully
What's this weeks deep dive?
this
Thanks
idk why it ain't pinned
it is pinned
why not? edd is pretty easy this time except for the 3rd stage dc issue
.
fair
Yikes, this has to be the easiest EDD since I started playing, didn't even drop below 100hp at any point as solo Engineer
400 Nitra going into stage 3, only needed a single resupply for it as well
Got a question I am currently on the last stage of this week’s deep dive but I can’t find the last aquarqs anyone knows where it is?
Theres a cave you have to dig into
Its not behind a dirt wall check the scanner
Bricked map generation
Ah okay thanks a lot
2 long caves that are quite well hidden, 1 has 3 and the other 2(beside bb)
is anyone having problems with getting disconnected on stage 3?
I ran it twice and got disconnected both times, I couldn't find the host again since it was public 😦
in the end I just did it alone though
As of now it seems consistent enough, other have also reported immediate disconnection when trying to load stage 3
Found it thanks a lot would have never noticed it 😅
Are the aquarq positions the same on everyones deep dive stage 3
I have found 6/7 and I can't find the last one it's been an hour on the last stage
Yes, and look for hidden caves with map scanner to find the last ones @flint vector
There’s an isolated cave behind the place where drop pod lands
Hol up lemme check real quick
Omg
Thank you I'm finally free
Mission time 1 hour 12 minutes 39 seconds
The mission that makes you old
@vagrant acorn @serene fjord I could kiss ya both
Do it
gotta go fast 🌬️ 🦔
2nd time it kicked it after 2nd mission in elite deep dive any ideas why?
says either multiplayer session ended or connection lost :(
everyone have this issues, but u can reconnect
you cant if it kickcs everyone out
host shouldnt crash out apparently
neither should anyone 🤣
should it be fixed in a couple days i dont wanna play it again if im just gonna lose the progress
it didnt happen in the normal dive tho
just elite and after 2nd mission
Same happened to me on transition stage 2 to stage 3
the leader managed to friend invite me and we finished it barely
i dont think it is an accident
good
something is wrong
I've lost connection twice as well at the same point just before entering the 3rd stage
I was host and all my teammates lost connection
clearly something wrong with the EDD if everyone is getting the exact same thing
when the info goes 'black box', is that just an uplink, or does that mean the full uplink-fuelcell-hangout cycle?
Just the uplink.
im so bad at the uplinks when im solo.. do you have tips?
I want to go as Gunner on EDD and I wonder what to take with
because if Elite Threat and Shield Disruption I thought about Carpet Bomber with fear factor
but this is also in Glacial Strata, so I thought about Burning Hell minigun. With Hellish Fire Coilgun or neurotoxin Bulldog
what's this week's deep dive? you can reply the message
better, you have it pinned, buddy
thanks, i don't come here often so i did not know
yeah
as for class recommendation? just doing normal
oh cool, knowledge of mutators and missions in advance
almost like in nuclear throne discord :)
low o2 and shield disrupt huh :(
isnt normal just haz 3-3.5? literally anything can prob do it easily
ye, unless you go with vampire driller, going there would be trouble
shield disruption on haz 5.5 on Point Extraction? P A I N 💀
3, 3.5(?), 4
thats the plan :D
3, 3.5, 3.5
and Im so clumsy as Driller I dont even think about going there this class
hm
i am doing solo too
well, if you can do solo haz4 mission, solo normal dive should be fine
i have soloed a few haz 4 missions, only for haz 5 assignment though
well give it a try, then. You lose nothing anyway (aside some time - solo runs seem to be slower than group)
alright
i'll play scout then
just have ability to kill dreads on stage 2
no problem
i'll be off then, wish me luck
I'd like to have something in between normal Deep Dive and Elite Deep Dive
3>3.5>3.5 and 4.5>5>5.5 is a big difference. Or you smash one, or you get smashed one
heard scout is good at single target elimination, but not sure if he can hit dreads in the back reliably when solo
try Zhukovs
i got a shock-based build with zhukovs, so it'll be fine
Anyone getting dcd whenever they get to last stage of edd?
2nd and 3rd
Well, well, well, looks it's the usual suspects for this week's EDD
Elites, low 02, and shield disruption
And their buddies escort duty and point extraction
I got dcd twice at the start of 3rd stage, right when loading is done. It's very specific, hbu?
i thought my whole team just ditched me LMFAO
first was loading into the 2nd stage and i couldn't rejoin. 2nd time was loading into the 3rd stage, happened to all of us but host and were lucky enough that all of us could rejoin
lf 2 more for car pool ach hit me up if interested
Did the prompt to rejoin show up for ya?
yep right away
Dang mine did not for either 😕 well thanks man r&s
Shock builds do not work on elimination because dreadnoughts can’t get electrocuted status effect
They are still powerful though
Scout is great at solo eliminations because he has grappling hook that allows them to quickly change position and hit the weak points
Also majority of his guns are great at single target damage
yeah dreads are unaffected by most sources of electrocute (like zhuks) but there are exceptions, like taser bolts, which are stupid powerful against dreads
Pp
scout is the best for solo elimination, unless you have the right sludge pump or cryo build
the maneuverability is too good
holup the crossbow can be useful?
taser bolts seriously bully dreads
take BoM on GK2 and IFGs, pop two taser bolts into dread to create arc through its body, toss IFG (which is easy to land on target because taser slows it so bad) and go wild
Exactly the same thing happened to me. Had a good team going too 😦 No rejoin option
Same! Well mostly, i'm 3/3 for DCs but last one I was able to rejoin, but the host died. Strange occurence
Apparently if you force quit the game and re-open it you should get an option to rejoin. I'll try that next time.
Neat tech lol, thanks for letting me know! Good luck on getting in and finishing your EDD, friend
yeah good tip
Think I'm just going to give up on this week 😓 . It's 1 cosmetic and EDDs are long
EDD was super easy, we had to add our 4th to friend list so they could rejoin for the predicted crash/disconnect as stage 3 starts
didnt even need that extra unconnected cave in stage 3, was enough quarks in main area for us
Phero Bolts are the most busted thing in the game
drop pod landed pretty much in the ceiling on stage 2 edd and my team, which was cruising, wiped and disbanded... not easy getting good rando team on ps....
dang, landed normally for us
actually have evidence of it via this silly ass rolly boi https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/529674786620571658/1103797674928521266/Deep_Rock_Galactic_replay_2023.05.04-20.31_54_60.mp4
maybe the real treasure was the bosco we made along the way

so real
big thanks!
Elite deep dive is currently bugged and dropping all party members while loading third stage
Hey guys, is there a problem with EDD this week?
Second game, I host and all players lost connection on the third stage, while loading
yes
damn
all they can do is hope to be able to reconnect
Looks like most people don't know how
either that or they strait up cant, it seems inconsistent unless you are stream friends maybe
just did elite dive twice
crashed again on loading stage 3
You crashed or lost the connection?
lost connection
"Lost connection to server" something like that
how do u report bugs again
for me, as the host was beside me, i lost connection, it asked me to reconnect, it didnt work it dropped me to the space rig, i think rejoined via steam friends list and that worked, i wonder if others could rejoin via recent players tab, or maaaaaybe the EDD join list? not sure
jira bug reporter i think
Track bugs on Deep Rock Galactic and vote on other entries to help our developer team identify what to work on next.
cool thanks
quite frustrating
escorting doretta on low oxygen twice isnt the most fun
thanks i submitted
nice nice, ive also contributed
dunno how fast they jump on things via this method, but couldnt hurt
need muh horror cave season nowwww
ooooo yessss
thought theyt would annoucnce it during there anniversary stream but nopoe
still getting the 2 weekly teasers, i cant remember how many teasers we got before they finally dropped season 3
how big is this dev team?
pretty small, a dozen maybe?
edit: 32 according to google, a lot probably non devs
i saw 14 devs online once
oooooooo that explains a lot then
Sidenote but I honestly find escort to be one of the tamer missions for low O2 since the entire point of it is to stay close to Doretta. Which has oxy canisters
I legit didn't notice it was low o2 until I reached the heartstone and started placing engi platforms
So yeah, not really a troublesome combination
Is there a secret to it? Only pops up sometimes for me
the pop up is random yes
on the two edds, i was prompted w/ the pop up on the first time after d/c'ing
not the 2nd time
Is anyone getting booted on the third stage on the edd?
i guess the third stage boot is happening on playstation too, how do you rejoin?
i've heard sending invites prior to the deep dive can let people rejoin on playstation, not sure how well that works though
It’s what I used to help my friends I was running the EDD with rejoin on stage 3. They used the prior invite to jump back in.
Though not really all that helpful in random teams
ya we just rejoined via adding as steam friends and sending invite. Gotta have host stay alive in droppod
I feel really bad because I was in a EDD and I disconnected right after the second mission ended leaving my team high and dry
Atleast I finally got ECR though
did you guys see that really weird aqaurq cave generation on the normal DD on the last mission
nice
I've never seen part of a cave that was seperated and isolated in an aquarq mission before
Its uncommon, but does happen more times than you think
weird
yeah this one was crazy
On site refining also likes to have a weird ass isolated pump
imagine not having a driller for that lol
Like this room specially for that 1 pump
so far the pumps were always connected by a cave, though those were hard to find sometimes
is the disconnect on 3rd stage still happening?
this deep dive was the first time in 270 hours i had a completely disconnected cave needed for the mission objective
I thought it was connected but blocked by salt crystals?
pretty sure it was completely secluded
Hmm i see
yup I called it evil cave generation during my run
Was in the other isolated cave when my team did it
is that in the elite dive or the regular one?
regular
oooh, dang
it's in the third stage, right behind where the drop pod lands at the start
this EDD was easier than last week
yeah this week's edd is nice
Yes it is
I love point extract on dds
which stage?
haven't finished it since I was farming the huuli
I completed stage 3 solo but all the Aquarqs were in the same room
Didn't have to drill into any isolated rooms to find them
regular deep dive, stage 3
Same happened both times I got there
You just need to rejoin via steam link or get a successful relog if the game registers the disconnect properly
On the EDD for me it happened to all three client players and we just got lucky and were able to immediately rejoin
Yo where's the sneaky aquaq on regular deep dive
There's an isolated cave in the middle of fucking nowhere
they said its somewhere behind a disconnected cave, use your map
I haven't done this weeks
that sounds hilarious
i would wager gallery
pretty chill EDD other than reconnect shenanigans
Yeah, wasn’t very hard
edd stage 3 still bugged?
j
all 3 non-host players including me DCed, i was the only one that rejoined successfully apparently which sucked
yea i think if you are steam friends you can just rejoin easily
i just right clicked on the profile and joined game through that
i couldn't rejoin the game normally from the deep dive menu for some reason
i don't think the other 2 guys knew you could rejoin like that so it was just me and the gunner :(
rip
we made it out, i got downed as we were zipping to the drop pod and i told him not to go save me
then i remembered i had IW and we both got out fine lol
IW always clutches
Does anyone know the 3 stage mission for DD?
It has big isolated cave behind the drop pod landing area
check pins
This week’s dd is legit a scout build
ton of nitra
Oh so losing connection to host at stage 3 is a universal thing?
Wait losing connection on EDD?
The BB on the second stage of the DD was cruel
I've had 2 groups die there because a bulk spawned
We ended up bunkering on the third stage BB
The group I wiped with the second time around ended up being able to complete the stage 2 BB, but only because the bulk didn't spawn
I also got a bulk detonator next to dorreta , they are pretty brutal
Jesus Christ, I don't even wanna imagine bulks on escort
You don’t have to. They sometimes stumble by.
It must be hell on route, because the bulk is faster than dotty, hell on the refuel stop, cause the caves there usually aren't too large, and hell at the heartstone, because you have to make sure the bulk doesn't hit dotty when he dies
The refuel was fine, plenty of fuel around the first stop
I think it was a 1 stop too
Two things I know is that bulks don't directly target dotty, only dwarves
I did it yesterday I don't remember wtf I was doing
Is it just me or is the 3rd stage DD has an isolated cave
And deep dive escorts are 1 stop only
It does it's behind the drop pod spawn
I asked about it here yesterday as I couldn't find it
Yes i already played it and WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I spent an hour on that mission alone
Trying to find 1 aquarq
Open the isolated cave, boom 3 of em
Drg does a little bit of trolling
I read about that cave beforehand, and I think either our driller did too or they found it through the terrain scanner
Because he opened it relatively quickly
So I got lucky there
Any one having connection issue on 3rd stage EDD? My bud got disconnected right after loading into 3rd stage. This happened twice in a row already. We are on playstation.
It is a known issue
That's unfortunate. Guess it's a pass this week. Lol
Is there not a possibility for your friend to reconnect after disconnecting?
?! I was under an impression that I can't invite after starting the dive.
I’m not certain how the reconnect system works on PS, although if anyone disconnects from your game on PC, they should get a prompt to reconnect after that (unless it happens only after crashes)?
Either way, you probably can still attempt solo dives if you feel like it, if you care about the cosmetic core
Thanks, will give a a try
Is it known why is DDE stage 3 causing problems?
Yeah rather weird I got kicked loading into 3rd stage
I'm on PC, I only get a "Close" button. Maybe closing the game at task manager just after stage 2 can make the game close forcefully and prompt a reconnect after opening the game. Just a thought, I didn't try
That might be a “solution”
ohhhhhh not a bad idea!
terrain scanner yer best friend.
I-
awesome, sanity saved
just walk away, you can fail and retry black box without losing the mission
That was our exact plan on the second go around
And then it didn't spawn
can confirm this with several testing been kicked at stage 3 5 times, hosted a game, teammates got kicked on stage 3
I just found out about it too, took me like 7 minutes to realize that the cave where the last aquarq is is right behind where you spawn at and you need to dig through it LOL
DRG trolling
The devil's greatest trick is generating an isolated cave where you didnt think
I think the worst part is that I actually noticed a cave there but I thought it was linked to another part of a cave so I spend like 3 minutes looking for the entrance to it and then double check it again
8 min mission turned into 18 mins 😭
how does bullet hell oc work with 2 penetration mod?
does it ricochet once on a glyphid and another bullet that passes through with penetration would then ricochet from the ground to another glyphid ?
idk the specifics, but I can point you to LazyMaybe's Season 3 breakdown video (the one with the new grenades)
he did mention something about Bullet Hell
It spawns 2 bullets: 1 penetrates, another ricochets off 1 bug.
Does the bullet that penetrates also ricochet ?
No.
i got the EDD disconnect bug but luckily my teammates managed to reconnect
Same
EDD 3rd stage disconnect
I’ve heard a lot of people have the same problem
Yep, I even saw a room name about it on the EDD
Idk how to reconnect, it didn’t give me an option
Same, there wasn't one for me

And given the first two times I died and now this I'm just saying screw it until next week
Yeah same
I got the weapon oc, so I’m happy with that
Hopefully they can figure out what was causing the issue and eliminate it in the future
Things have been more buggy with this season at least from what I can remember
I disconnected before anybody else on my team, prompting them to load in and disconnect in the drop pod. But I reconnected just in time to save it. Though I did have to load for a long ass time even after my team got in again and started playing
What's up with the third EDD stage disconnecting people?
IDC much about the cosmetic overclock, but it's kinda annoying
Ricochet on the revolver works weirdly. It spawns a new unique bullet entity that bounces upon being shot, and usually since the initial hit disappears it gives the illusion of a ricocheted bullet. However, blowthrough causes bullets to, well, blow through before despawning, you actually gets two bullets, one that ricochets, and another that blows through. Only one ricochet and blowthrough is spawned per shot, and a ricochet shot does not blowthrough.
Tl, dr: when a blowthrough hits a bug it spawns a bullet that ricochets and the original bullet keeps flying.
Is this the same case with the gun?
Mechanically, not visually
hows the edd
Stage 1&2 are ok but stage 3 is impossible 😅
(mostly because youll almost certainly DC when loading into it)
Reckon so, I don’t have ricochet with leadstorm tho so I’ve yet to test it
oh is it busted 👀
damn oh well
Depends on your luck ig
Only half our team dc’d and we were able to reconnect
The driller was an asshole so everyone just left him to die until the drop pod came
have they addressed the DC issue on the EDD?
dont think so
the other 2 i was playing with dc'd on stage 3 and i somehow managed to beat it.
Hosted the EDD, all other players DC and didnt come back at stage 3. I tried to solo it but the game started to stutter more and more, eventually getting so jittery it was unplayable. Very strange, never seen that before
Might be worth doing the entire EDD solo from the start, both me and my friend did it solo with no stability issues
Only a sample size of 2, but still
still not fixed huh?
there sure is no rushing these guys lol
maybe someone will actually notice by Monday
Just incase anyone else is struggling to find the last aquarq on normal deep dive stage 3, it's a completely secluded cave section not too far from the minehead. It seems I can't post pictures in this chat but it shouldnt be too hard with that description, just use your scanner.
ye theres a pic here #deep-dive-discussion message
Okay, so I'm a drg noob, and I just found out about deep dives
I use gunner only, so how would you guys suggest I tackle the deep dives once I promote my character
if solo, use bosco (make sure to take the mining speed upgrade for him) to pretty much mine everything for you and do whatever objectives he's capable of, like building pipelines, while you shoot stuff
otherwise uh, just remember to use your shields since if you have 3-4 still by the time you resupply, you're basically wasting em
first time I didn't die in an edd
stage 3 edd disconnect happened as expected. god bless the reconnect popping up. Shame we lost a couple of greenbeards who could've used the reward more
thanks man, appreciate it
For Rock and Stone!
If i did a normal DD yesterday and went on another DD again today am i going to get Cores again or nah?
you can only get rewards once from doing the same week's DD or EDD respectively
this is the second time i've gotten kicked from an elite deep dive ):
are you sure you were kicked and it wasn't just the disconnect on stage 3's loading screen that's affecting everybody
reg deep dive r3 is a troll
yeah there's two Aquarqs in a hidden passage behind the drop pod
I actually got deep for speed with like 20sec left lol
So if i did a DD again i wont get any rewards? But if i do my first EDD for this week am get rewards?
You can get gold and XP from multiple runs
But only one OC from each stage
"mods are asleep, time to post spam discord invites"
@hidden venture
fucking hell I was doing so fine
then boom
an unconnected area on deep dive stage 3 that I did not notice and here I am
no revives, downed
I died because of that :3
did any of you guys get their team disconnected on edd stage 3
i got hit and had to quit cause i forgot where the mork was
everyone did
???
none of my teammates reconnected
omg I had my ass clenched for 15 mins
bro that's such a freaking troll
we would've definitely beat it
for some reason rejoining via the deep dive menu normally doesn't work
you have to right click on the profile and then hit join game that way
the stage 3 is just a cosmetic core after all but it does suck that you can't actually complete it with a full team most of the time
i want the core man
the game giving me 29489390985943 driller beard cosmetic cores even though i have eclipse trooper for him already
I got special powder but still searching for EM discharge
I want to thank the kind folks here who said there was a disconnected tunnel on the last Stage of the DD with 3 Aquarqs.
Thanks to you my team finished the DD in just 35 Minutes and we all got the Deep for Speed achievement. 👍
damn
so what causes the edd stage 3 crash
now I feel jealous xwx
i have no idea
teammates can rejoin
but i dunno how
you could solo it, cave gen's very open
i suck balls at the game and even i lasted 20 mins
GSG team crashed as well during their stream on that dive
lol
oh wow last week's edd was bad that I didn't do it, but this week's?
current edd is just even worse
bye matrix cores for the week
this week's is ez as shit
cakewalk
caves open af
just the typical drg experience
Does EDD still crash at stage 3
sounds like its good for my first try
is DD even possible solo?
or is it meant for a team?
Uh i guess, you get bosco
dd def seems ball breakingly hard
yeah i highly suggest pre drilling through stage 2
sure it takes a long ass time and you’re most likely gonna have to burn through alot of nitra but stages 1 and 2 have plenty of it
idk why you would do that
went into stage 2 with 300 nitra
popped both eggs in the 1st room
then its stage 3
nah, solo play has balanced swarms, but you also get bosco
high utility is an understatement. You can do pacifist runs with bosco, granted thats not advisable
ah right mayb not so bad then
"not advisable"
This week EDD is hell, 2nd stage is so hard
bring a gunner for free repairs
play solo 
If you're on PC, you can rejoin the host via steam
Spread the method, so others can rejoin too:
that only works if you have them added and your game crashed i think
On PC, you can open the Deep Drive terminal and find all running games.
Right click on the lobby, Steam will open the Steam Profile of the host.
If hosts profile isn't private, you can press the join button there.
oh
reaaly annoying
i cant see the host in list
You should be, unless the mission is over
It will greyed out, like "you can't join"
hmmm
i will try 1 more time
no
i got disconnect right after complete 2nd mission
yes, it's a bug of the current EDD
it happens every time
I played 3 EDD games already, it always happens to all players
ok
not if you play solo guhuhuh
thanks bro
If you play again, warn all the players and tell them how to rejoin via steam
I'll repeat the method again:
Open the DD Terminal, find the Host in the list (it doesn't matter that it's grayed out)
Right-Click on the lobby, host's Steam profile will pop up
Unless his profile hides current games or his profile is private, you will see a green "join" button on the screen.
If not, you can still try to add the host as a friend
super helpful
Doesn't the game go into closed mode? Automatically gives you bosco. Perhaps this is the reason why people can't connect back.
No it doesn't. I tested it already and rejoined a host myself.
You also get Bosco, if you start an open lobby game without other players, players can still join later (in normal missions, not DD)
After 170 hours, I'll learn something new, wow, I'll never launch a solo mission again
Btw, technically, what Deep Dive "code" does, is saving players into a list, after Deep Dive started. Then later it allows only these players to rejoin
Also interesting information: If a player joins, Bosco gets destroyed. If all players leave your lobby, Bosco doesn't respawned.
forever alone
Bosco does respawn. Just not when you are the only one left and you are already down.
Yeah, but it happened to me only once in 400h. People normally don't leave
Sure? Maybe they fixed it. I experienced it in Season 2 once, so I can't tell
But I'm 100% sure back then, someone joined, left and then I had to finish the mission aline
Well I started playing early 22 so I don't know any better than Bosco does come back. However, if you are down, and you are the only one left (cuz others left or u kicked them), Bosco doesn't come back (soon enough to resuscitate you).
Wait, how often do people leave your lobby after joining and then you're alone?
considering I've played 750+ missions it's happened a few times at least
sometimes someone leaves because they think you aren't good enough or obsessed enough to memorize all stats on weapon this and OC that and your loadout isn't optimalized or something so when u get downed they don't rescue you but leave... 😭
Does anyone know if you get more matrix cores, any kind, in EDD’s rather than DD’s
both the DD and the EDD give a single core, a single weapon overclock, and a single cosmetic overclock
but the rewards are independent, so if you get both, you get two of each
welp
I guess you play primary Haz 5?
Bro I thought it was just me wtf
Is there a bug in the EDD this week that drops all players (except host) at the start of Stage 3?
yes
ok, thought i was going mad
.
thanks
Everyone rejoined without issue, just saw it happen in all the EDD video's on youtube and then to myself.
👍🏻
My pal dropped at the beginning of EDD3 as well.
The only time my pal hasn't been able to rejoin was late into the dive... like when we were about to fight the Caretaker in a previous EDD.
Does anybody know what stage 3 is for EDD this week?
.
Opps, I mean this^
@ember trellis
It's a bug and it happens every time
low o2 and shield disruption on edd :fuckingcrying:
thank god im not a niche micro internet celebrity who dedicates themselves to completing the deep dives asap 🙏
😂
on haz 5.5
Hi guys. Just wanna ask, did you get to 3rd stage of EDD with your team? Or did you get disconnected/ended solo (as host)
It's a bug. You always get disconnected
Oh. What a pitty
If you're on PC. ^
wtf just happend to me
you can still rejoin, see #deep-dive-discussion message
yeah thank god host accepted my friend req
method saved the run for 3 of us
1 guy didn't accept my invite fast enough so we had to finish xd
I just got lucky on the second try and we could all rejoin
Isn’t stage 2 just haz 5? The bugged S3 is 5.5 I believe
Yes
yes I’m just referring to stage 3
Ye, was light if you have some good crowd control
Ntp gunner plus sticky Flames was blessed
I cant say how bad the last stage was given the disconnect bug happened to me
It wasn’t bad
But since I got the weapon Overclock from stage 2 I wont complain
Nice open fighting areas
I can get cosmetics any other day of the week if I was that desperate
The morkite could be tricky to find tho
I just got the final weapon oc
Otherwise cc will carry
Would have been nice to get the EDD fully complete but Im not going to sweat over a lost cosmetic core
Here
I think this guy explained how you can reconnect 100%
Of the time
It was last night so probably not gonna happen 😅
Fair enough
Would be nice if a mod could rephrase is maybe, since I'm not sure about my English and pin it.
So people can reconnect and finish the EDD.
Generally an official announcement would be good, so people know in advance that EDD is bugged this week
Needs better visibility here and on reddit
You can also rejoin by opening the steam overlay and going to 'recently played with' and looking for the hosts profile.
It doesn't even need to be the host, just someone in the deep dive IIRC
i have a question, do you get more cores if you do the basic and elite deep dive or do you only get the rewards from one
it is a one time thing
but you can do normal & elite once and that would give you cores for both, but if you rerun the same mode then you will not get more cores
thanks
the EDD is bugged?
Does anyone know how you would rejoin on console?
yes
i heard theres a hidden chamber near the drop pod with 2
it didnt work for me
anyone know where to post if u want to play deep dive with people?
the LFG channels
thx
If someone hasn't finished EDD due to disconnect.
I'm hosting EDD right now with guaranty that you can reconnect to me
Hosting on Steam, middle Europe
How can you guarantee it?
Ive played EDD three times now as client and Connection lost every time on loading screen to third stage
My Steam profile isn't private
you can use the method to join me
Oh so the host continues but all players crash?
they lose the connection for some reason
Hm, still got an open slot?
Hosts lobby is still open
Whats the lobby name
"Unlimited dwarfs party! Bugs scale!"
2 places left
1 left
running 8 player mod
Has the stage 3 disconnect for this edd been fixed yet?
not yet
came to ask about it, welp guess i'm caught up til that fixes
is it a bug that 3rd stage of EDD ppl dc?
ye
i had a prompt to reconnect when it said "Multiplayer session ended" and reconnected me back to it
congrats youre one of the lucky 10% where that actually works correctly
Did anyone else's game crash on the second DD stage?
Just about everyone is either disconnecting or crashing at the end of the 2nd stage of the Deep Dives this week.
The only work around that I'm aware of is for the host to provide a "steam://joinlobby" link to the other players so they can re-connect. Discord invites tend to stop working during Deep Dives but the steam://joinlobby invites are pretty reliable.
To get the steam://joinlobby invite link:
Go to your steam profile in a browser, on the right side there's a green Join Game.
Right-click on the Join Game and copy link address.
can people ingame copy the link in any way? to help the randos that would join, tho ive done the EDD already but im just curious
That invite link should be available on your own steam profile provided:
- You are in the lobby yourself
- The lobby is not full.
So even if you're not the host, if you join the lobby and there's still at least 1 free slot you should be able to get that link yourself.
ahhh nice ty 👍
THis method works too.
But you have to try multiple time sometimes, it's very bugged. It says sometimes "Multiplayer session ended" if you try to join, but after few tries it works
we just ended EDD with all who joined
Is there a bug where there's too little aquarks in the last stage of the normal dd
Thanks, rock and stone
why is there a staircase of spitballers in stage 2 DD
it's fun isn't it
I have a quick question but first
ROCK AND STONE EVERYONE, okay now I just recently joined the discord and I wanna do my first deep dive soon if I needed people to join I can just ask her right
Like soon this week not actually soon soon, because I haven't seen a single public lobby on Xbox at least for deep dives
post an invite in #lfg-steam
do state this is your first dd
Okay whenever I do Ill make sure to say that @placid musk thanks brother
Hope you get pots of gold at the bar
there's pots of gold at my bar at least!
Why is it that some of the lobbies are grayed out even though there's slots available?
i think those are old lobbies that disbanded already?
or currently in the dive
