[fathom birch]

stage 2 too

[desert lynx]

elite threat bad?

or no

[mellow cradle]

uhhh, we've gotten an elite bulk

maybe you'll be more fortunate

[fathom birch]

we died to a glitch at the end of EDD stage 2 right after we killed a twin lol

[fathom birch]

not the worse threat

the bosses are your main threat tbh

[mellow cradle]

but the elite threat wasn't much of an issue, since elimination doesn't spawn many enemies to begin with

[desert lynx]

what glitch?

[mellow cradle]

yeah

[mellow cradle]

first time I hear of this

[desert lynx]

excellent
last time we had elite there was a constant supply of elite macs and praes, and we got an elite menance

[fathom birch]

one of the twins ghost burrowed up the ground within 3 secs after it died and burrowed up from the ground as I res my fallen comrade

[desert lynx]

but it was dead?

huh

[fathom birch]

so...attempt 1 died at the end of stage 2 when all obj cleared lol

[desert lynx]

well

[fathom birch]

Yea

[desert lynx]

classic drg

[fathom birch]

at least we owned it

[mellow cradle]

the hardest part of the EDD was fighting haz 5.5 twins with the random aquark stragglers constantly interrupting

so make sure to fight the twins as soon as possible

[fathom birch]

yea we did it before first swarm hit

[mellow cradle]

same

[fathom birch]

then get all 10 aquorqs b4 swarm 3

[mellow cradle]

but the random aquark spawns still happen

[fathom birch]

then spam pheremones bomb and lures

[desert lynx]

won't the minehead help out a bunch?

[mellow cradle]

idk how effective that would be, we weren't near it

feel free to try

[desert lynx]

also, what do you mean random aquarq spawns?

like those small pairs or singlets of enemies that come in randomly during aquarq missions?

[mellow cradle]

on point extraction, you constantly get spawns, and sometimes announced swarms

the small packs never stop coming, even if a dreadnaught is active

[desert lynx]

wish dreads friendly fired like ops and prae

[dense pebble]

Don’t they

[desert lynx]

don’t think so

[dense pebble]

its rare for me to be able to test it tbh

[desert lynx]

well they aren’t affected by lures so it’s hard to test anything on dreads

[coral pond]

The twins don't ff each other, and hive doesn't ff the sentinels. Idk if one dread ff's another though

[dense pebble]

all I know is that bulks FF dreads

and thats all I need

[desert lynx]

I don’t think dread ffs swarmers so they might just not

but their swarmers are also unique

[coral pond]

The past 2 times i've tried to kill a dread with a bulk, my teammates were useless and the explosion misses

[dense pebble]

you know I thought the swarmers were natural spawns for like a month

[dense pebble]

did it the first time today with randoms, but we had enough time to communicate in chat

[coral pond]

The latest was me getting chased by both of the enemies trying to kill the bulk, and the dread chased me off the cliff

I even told my teammates and they did nothing

[dense pebble]

it be like that sometimes

[worthy bolt]

is it me or the normal deep dive is actually harder

i have ptsd from having a hiveguard and a haunted cave modifier

fuck me

[nimble root]

smol question whats best upgrades for turrets?

[coral pond]

gemini + defender

tiers 2 and 3 are kinda up to your preference, most common turret setup to my knowledge is 1211

[dusty cairn]

seconding what dingus said. Defender is too big of a damage upgrade to pass up and the drawback doesn't matter if you position your turrets reasonably.

Gemini is better total damage (without the ammo upgrade), lets you do dps faster, lets you cover more terrain, and lets you leapfrog turrets when moving around. Place a single turret, then when you want to place the 2nd in a new area, recall the first. While the first turret is in flight you can immediately build the second. LMG MKII doesn't hit any particularly noteworthy breakpoints on ammo efficiency with defender, is lower total damage (again with defender), lower burst damage, less flexible, less area coverage, and so on. It's just bad in comparison.

On tier 2, fast reload is basically useless, ammo is alright, and situationally the correct choice, but playing without quick deploy feels awful.

On tier 3, extra ammo capacity in the turrets is also basically useless. Both stun and armor break have their place.

[dusk vessel]

personally I like armor break because the turrets could be shooting armor

[tacit jungle]

I run one slow deploy defender on non-turret-focused builds like LOK1 + nuke. Turrets have so little ammo

[dusk vessel]

but I don't have like numbers on how often they do so

just a feelings thing

[icy ledge]

Gemini system also has the massive synergy with turret whip, which i think is very underrated for damage. You can basically cycle between the two turrets and machine gun out the blasts super fast, which deal probably more dps than most “high single target” builds, and this is an aoe stun attack. TLDR, Gemini gud turret whip op (definitely no bias here)

[tacit jungle]

Is that more efficient than turret EM discharge?

[desert lynx]

I report no huulis at all

you have been tricked

[midnight spire]

Fuel Cells seem to be bugged on EDD.

We are in the bubble yet it is failing us.

What seems to cause this? It was dug a bit under the surface.

[potent ether]

Is it just me, or was the cave leech spawn pool on crack for the standard deep dive? My team had multiple instances of stacked leeches appearing a: in rooms that were already cleared/visited, and b: in weird parts of the geometry, i.e. on pillars, in the floor, on walls, etc.
And this happened throughout the DD.

[fluid aurora]

my dd went fine

i think i saw a grand total of 1 leech in the first room onstage 1

otherwise nothing out of the ordinary

[potent ether]

Huh.
Odd.

[worthy bolt]

please tell me the second stage of the deep dive is small

please

IS IT SMALL?

i can and will solo these dives all by myself

yes even the elite deep dive

i think im gonna pick engie for the normal deep dive

and pick scout for the second deep dive

[coral pond]

it's an egg mission cave gen. basically just one big room and a couple of tunnels. More than enough room to loop the ghost while maintaining good damage on the twins

[worthy bolt]

the twins is not bad with haunted cavr

its that the last time i fought a dreadnought with it was a hiveguard

so yeah im still even skeptical just because the cave gen

besides

im running lok-1 executioner + electric oc breach cutter with armor break

[coral pond]

it is so much better than that hiveguard one

[worthy bolt]

and yes im using triple split line

[coral pond]

god i hated that fucking one with hiveguard

such a shit cave generation

[worthy bolt]

ITS SO SMALL BRO

SO SMALL

[coral pond]

i spent like 2 minutes as driller getting rid of the pillar in the middle to try to make it better

[worthy bolt]

i solved that with breach cutter

because i was using 21111 base lok-1 and SD VIR

[coral pond]

i haven't used breach cutter in forever

i wanna try high voltage crossover

[worthy bolt]

yeah that

[faint shell]

oh my gOD that one was awful

[pliant fjord]

this deep dive is brutal the first 2 missions

i have killed SO MANY bosses today

[worthy bolt]

me as an engie popping 3 dread cocoons and resulting on me fighting 5 dreads and with stubby and full ammo breach cutter :

[placid musk]

dd is criminally easy

what's the edd like

we had a betc and just stuffed its ranged attacks with the shit terrain

[zenith ember]

My only advice is to bring a more generalist build that can handle mactera, swarmers while still do decent against dread

[placid musk]

hmmm

ig hipster icebolt works

does icebolt work against dreads

if not then cryo minelets

[zenith ember]

Not sure, prob just as a support if driller uses cryo?

If not i doubt either oc can freeze a dread

[placid musk]

i had a scout bring something and it froze the dread pretty quick

in the dd

well cryo drill solves both mactera + swarmers

or hellfire

[zenith ember]

Will prob work then

[rose yacht]

Hive guard + haunted cave

best

if yer scout

[still geode]

Lsls hellfire solves all issues

[rigid steeple]

5 spitter 2 nexus in a single cave

[mellow cradle]

I had many spitters in the first edd cave as well

[sly trout]

Did the EDD with strangers and only had problems on the stage with the mini mules and morkite because theres a bunch of brood, spitters, and mactera

Stage 3 might be hard if u cant multi task the twins plus aquarcs

[dawn oxide]

we just did it, I accidentally fired a mole shot into the second dread egg

so we had to fight 3

It was stage 2

[nimble root]

how promote character :0

[burnt sandal]

get to lvl 25, do the assignment, promote in the memorial hall

[nimble root]

memorial hall got iot

[uneven lichen]

Something I just found out

deep dives, or at least EDD’s give a good chunk of XP

Which is probably obvious considering they’re essentially 3 missions in a row

[dense pebble]

A double xp mission gives more in half the time

DDs aren’t really worth repeating

[jolly prawn]

Beat my EDD nitra record today with 877 left to spare after ending, caverns were totally full

[mellow cradle]

5 mini mules does that, yeah

[charred crag]

Just completed my first DD. Is EDD manageable with no overclocks on scout?

[pliant yoke]

Any content is manageable without overclocks, so yes, it probably is

[jolly prawn]

yeah mini mules are quite the free win

[mellow cradle]

depends if you experienced with hazard 5

[charred crag]

Not yet actually, havent unlocked it. Comfortably playing haz4 tho

Ill do that first then

[mellow cradle]

oh, and one of the missions on the EDD is salvage

so make sure you scout is equipped to handle that

[charred crag]

Alright thanks

[burnt sandal]

then you should be fine

[frigid forge]

EDD was swarmer city for us

they are so bloody annoying, and can eat you in seconds if you don't notice it in time

[sly trout]

I accidentally picked my burning hell loadout instead of my big bertha loadout but it worked in my favor cus of the swarmers

[solemn dust]

How do you personally* equip scout for salvage?

[mellow cradle]

you could take AV drak, nishanka for the electric aoe / pheromone utility, m1k with blowthrough, gk2 with electric reload, special powder for quick getaways, cryo grenade as a panic button

there are many ways

just take a lot of aoe

fire / cryo bolts might be good as well

[solemn dust]

I figured, but I was just wondering what you would take if you were playing that mission

[mellow cradle]

then I would probably take AV drak, cryo nades, and probably specialist nishanka with pheromones

[solemn dust]

Lots of good points tho

[mellow cradle]

because that's what I have

[solemn dust]

I wonder if I should take that for this week's edd

Good point tho, I'll see if it works.

[mellow cradle]

good luck

you'll be going solo I presume?

[solemn dust]

Likely not

What made it seem like I was gunning it alone?

[mellow cradle]

because originally, someone asked if they could run this EDD solo scout, I answered, and you replied to my message

[solemn dust]

[solemn dust]

Makes sense

[mellow cradle]

but the build I suggested can be run as a generalist build I guess

nishanka still provides high single target dmg

[solemn dust]

Sure. I was really just interested in your take on scout in salvage missions in general, as that's something I struggled with in the past. With teammates it's usually easier, but solo can turn for the worst without good technique.

That's been my experience at least.

Thanks for your answers

[ancient cove]

Does the no swarm strategy works in the last EDD stage?

When you pop the dread and collect all the stuff while he is roaming

[burnt sandal]

don't believe so

[ancient cove]

Just etsted it works

some nromal bugs will spawn here and there

but no swarm

[burnt sandal]

so it cuts off the announced swarms but not the ambiant spawns ?

so you can still get overwhelmed by those if you're too slow

[ancient cove]

not really, at least not in the current EDD, the last cave is huge

we pretty much ignored dreads and just collected aquarqs

[mellow cradle]

yes, I can confirm this

[burnt sandal]

thanks to both of you

[rocky ferry]

Hey what sorts of builds work best for this weeks edd? Me and my firends have a good chunk of overclocks between each of our classes so whats worked so far? We might have something to use.

[coral pond]

with 3 dreads you'd want some high single target but also swarmageddon first stage. Sticky fuel driller seems like an auto pick to this imo to take care of random bug waves

[fluid cliff]

doesn’t really matter

[rocky ferry]

I'll look at that thanks.

[rocky ferry]

Fair enough. I'm still new to the edd scene and want to see how other people handle builds

[mellow cradle]

yes, definitely take something for the dreads

what class will you be playing btw?

[rocky ferry]

that depends. Im the only one in my group that has decent levels for all of my classes. I usually pick a role that one of my other friends can't take. Usually that ends up being scout or driller. since my other friends main engie and gunner

[mellow cradle]

so it'll be a 3 man team?

[rocky ferry]

yeah

[coral pond]

if you go driller i'd say sticky fuel + er subata or plasma epc

for scout probably aise + fire bolts?

[mellow cradle]

I'd argue for cryo, since that helps for both swarmers and dreads

[coral pond]

oh yeah. I haven't used cryo in so long i kinda brain farted about that

yeah, definitely cryo better than crspr in this regard

[rocky ferry]

i do have decent cryo builds

[mellow cradle]

nice

[rocky ferry]

thanks for the tips everyone I'll try them out.

[mellow cradle]

if you'll be running cryo, tell your friends to take some form of high burst damage, like hyper propellant, since dreads won't stay frozen for very long

[coral pond]

ecr lok + hyperprop good for the engi

[mellow cradle]

yeah

[coral pond]

maybe leadstorm leadstorm + hellfire for the gunner

[rocky ferry]

oh right

i'll coordinate with them

[keen cedar]

Just did the Deep Dive and Epic Deep Dive and we got a grand total of 17 Bet-Cs, average 3 Bet-C per stage. That normal for this week or we just had a freak couple of dives?

[coral pond]

I'm 99% sure that's impossible

bet-c is a rare boss enemy with a 5% chance to spawn on map gen

almost positive more than 1 can't spawn per mission

and having one on every stage is astronomically low

[keen cedar]

Yeah we thought it was fucking weird. The game had already bugged though so somehow 5 of us ended up in 1 game

So I wondered if that had fucked with the game in general

It was also doing other weird stuff like throwing 2 or 3 bulk detonators at us at once

[neat forum]

somehow 5 of us ended up in 1 game
grand total of 17 Bet-Cs
you sure you didn't just end up in a modded lobby that is not labeled as such?

throwing 2 or 3 bulk detonators at us at once
2 at once is common, 3 not so much

[keen cedar]

Dont you have to opt into searching modded lobbies?

[coral pond]

definitely sounds like a modded lobby

[keen cedar]

I did think that but iv never turned modded on

And everyone in the game seemed very surprised by it all

[neat forum]

Dont you have to opt into searching modded lobbies?
technically yes, but there are some lobbies that have sandbox mods on but play with everyone

I assume they are bypassing normal mod installation or whatever

[keen cedar]

Ah okay, well the chaos of it all was a lot of fun just wanted to know if it was something everyone was getting as seemed weird

[neat forum]

played edd twice so far, everything was normal

[edgy topaz]

Bro in the middle of deep dive stage 2

does anyone know how to make molly NOT

move

I'm playing solo

and she randomly moves

even if i dont cal her

and thats an absolute pain in the ass on haunted cave

[mellow cradle]

you cannot

she will follow you when you get too far away from her

haunted cave solo is painful like that

[edgy topaz]

It's easy enough it's just

annoying

I just wanna deposit the eggs in one place

and she randomly follows me

so now i have to kite the ghost away

[tacit jungle]

you have to be aware of molly's position at all times just like you already track your teammates in multiplayer

[quaint holly]

deepdive

anyone wanna join, i play engie and my mate plays scout

[coral pond]

just got done with the edd. duo'd with a super greenbeard driller cause our other 2 disconnected before we finished stage 1. Holy fuck man i was stressing. stage 1 swarmageddon sucks ass always

[velvet raptor]

whats engi best active perks for solo dd? using dash and beast tamer rn but i dont really know

[coral pond]

dash and iron will imo

[tacit jungle]

eh you have 2 bosco revives per stage, just don't die so much

[fast stratus]

You have up to 4 though

[tacit jungle]

definitely don't die that much 🙂

[azure hawk]

I did my 1st deep dive
I started as scout, I had swarmagaddon with minimules, trying to fend off swarms of enemies.
Halfway through the fueling process I was jumping around killing a never ending swarm of bugs and then a detonator spawned

I was forced to loop him around the fuel container praying I had enough time to finish the fueling process

I did it just before the swarmagaddon put me at 1 hp and I ziplined away

Jumped around the map untill the pod opened

[midnight oriole]

Ended up wiping on EDD Stage 3 because my connection to the host or his connection to me or my internets connection up its own ass decided to start failing before throwing me out of the party. Literally spend 5 minutes teleporting around the map like I was getting dripfed wormhole

And I can tell you that I am not fucking running EDD1+2 again for a cosmetic core

[azure hawk]

And wile I was doing that a fuking sandstorM HIT ,MAKING ME BLIND AND ALMOST MAKING ME GRAPLIN HOOKING ON THE DETONATOR WILE I WAS BLINDLY RUNNING

[tawny gazelle]

any advice for this weeks

deep dive

[tacit jungle]

well that was relaxing https://i.imgur.com/3AEdppt.jpg

[tawny gazelle]

holy shit i hate every scout ever

[scenic jetty]

no light ?

[buoyant wing]

agree (just played scout)

[tawny gazelle]

asshat left me on the dreadnought/unknown horror mission

i completed the mission out of spite tho

[placid musk]

either fire/ice bolts completely shuts down swarmageddon

if you don't have those then scout really has no good cc

you should leave swarmer clear up to teammates at this point

[rose yacht]

aggressive venting deletes smarmageddon.

but u lose a whole clip.

worth it

[faint shell]

plasma splash handles it

[umbral fossil]

ran thru edd with all 4 gunners

was fun

[kindred oyster]

New drg feature
Instead of Bosco you can have other generic ai dwarves

Wait wrong channel

My bad

[pearl pelican]

woooo i beat an elite deep dive for the first time!

and my friends had bugged weapons that rendered the shield and crossbow unusable for a stage each, for extra challenge

[smoky steeple]

I know the crossbow bug just pickaxe and you're fine and are able to shot again if its the one i think

[placid drift]

first try at this week's EDD, going in

[placid drift]

swarmageddon and two bulk detonators, annoying but first one down

[lilac copper]

NOOOOOOO

I WAS THE HOST OF A EDD

AND MY GAME CRASHED 1 MIN BEFORE WE GOT OUT

😭😭😭

[placid drift]

EDD down. Pretty good, got the 'deep sea defender' scout weapon skin set and colette liquid cooling

[azure hawk]

The only reason I managed to complete that mission was the fact that I had fire bolts

[bitter canyon]

This weeks edd was pretty easy

[rose yacht]

edd is ez

[wraith shard]

what would you boys recommend running for the elite deep dive?

kind of urgent so any advice is welcome

[azure hawk]

Spoiler for the deep dive I guess ?
||1st mission is Swarmagaddon with minimules,
Second is dreadnoughts and 3rd is acquark with 1 dreadnought, I did it on solo with scout, I found the 1st mission to be the hardest||

Question, is the spawn of deep dives always the same? Does this include only the enemies at the start or the following spawns as well?

Because if that's the case ||1 detonator might spawn wile trying to defend the fuel for the droppod||

[burnt sandal]

spawns are random, to an extent. Only the pre-generated spawns are somewhat less randomized.

[azure hawk]

I once failed a deep dive to an oppressor

The following try it spawned in the exact same point

Mid mission *

[burnt sandal]

purely coincidental, especially due to how oppressors spawn.

Basically, the spawn pools are globally the same and the director follow the same logic so you won't see wild variation but it will still be randomized to an extent.
In the case of oppressors, it's just praetorian spawns that are randomly selected to become oppressors (slashers and guards also work that way with grunts, btw).

[azure hawk]

Fun fact, on the current deep dive on the last lvl there us a leach right above where the droppod for ending the mission open the door

I had the perk for freeing myself but I can imagine loosing to something like that and disinstalling the game

Imagine doing an entire deep dive only for 3 of your friend to die, being forced to run to the exit and a leach right above the exit snatch you up

[surreal geyser]

Could I ask a question

[bitter canyon]

YES

SORRY CAPS

[surreal geyser]

Uhm what's the best weapon for Driller if I wanted to speed run elite deep dives

[ancient cove]

RIP 💀

[coral pond]

Probably the cryo cannon. Covers pretty much everything but sabo, and there's no sabo right now

[idle cipher]

holy shit i just tried the deep dive, a bulk detonator spawned right at the drop pod

[full saddle]

i got a bulk during the black box 💯

[alpine mauve]

what is it with greenbeards and using resupply pods as heals at full ammo, and then not getting nitra despite us desperately needing it

I mean we made it but I no longer want to do edds with 3 bronze 1 players

[zenith ember]

lmao

[acoustic pilot]

when does one technically stop being a greenbeard

Only started deep dive now tho

I mean i needed 20 or something to promote

[queen zealot]

i haven't even done the first assignment

[burnt sandal]

it's not

[queen zealot]

the one that makes you do every mission type

[prime fable]

oof well

i found one in a deep dive mission

[coral pond]

it's part of the haunted cave modifier

basically an unkillable bulk detonator that will follow you throughout the entire mission

[queen zealot]

oh i heard about it

i read that it's a bug bug ghost

following you

and will smack you and destroy stuff under you

[prime fable]

Oh right

I remember but never had one

[copper horizon]

unknown horror was slightly annoying but thats it. Just made running around

[rose yacht]

as a driller unknown horror is cansur

at least goo gun works on it

goo impressively slows it down to non-existence

[tender matrix]

Deep dives am I right?

[grim wadi]

i lost count the amount of bulks we got for this EDD, one was an elite bulk, 550 hours and my first one \o/

we tried dropping a supply pod on it for science, looks like it'd take 5 supply pods to kill it https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/529674786620571658/1112166660401549373/out.mp4

[unkempt saffron]

Anything that can slow enemies can slow down the unknown horror

[stray urchin]

hey, I promoted my first dwarf yesterday, was wondering if there was anything i should know before i try a deep dive for the first time?

[zenith ember]

Its a chain of 3 missions, 1 main objective and a side objective that is a shortened variant of main ones (eg 2 eggs vs the normal 4 eggs)
There are no minerals except nitra and gold (but huuli's can still spawn)
Health, ammo & nitra reserves are carried over to each stage

[stray urchin]

right

what happens if you dont make the drop pod?

[zenith ember]

you will jsut respawn back

assuming your other teammates made it

[stray urchin]

ok cool

thanks

[zenith ember]

if the deep dive fails though, you need to start from stage 1 again

As for difficulty, deep dives are around hazard 3 (3/3.5/3.5), Elite dives are ~ haz 5 (4.5/5/5.5)

[stray urchin]

cool, thanks

[zenith ember]

np, all the best

[stray urchin]

Ok sorry one last question, how do you start one, all of the ones availible to join are greyed out

do i just need to start my own

can you rejoin EDD i got disconeted on stage 3

[burnt sandal]

You can rejoin a DD/EDD when you got disconnected sometimes. If the game's still running, it's possible it might happen but the functionality never worked really well.

[dense pebble]

to be sure, have the host use a steam invite link, since they're reusable.

if you're console... good luck.

[spice trench]

Tried my first deep dive got abused by other team members

Are all deep dives so sweaty?

[smoky steeple]

No you were probably just unlucky

Mist people like new player's

[ancient cove]

A lot of greenbeards are playing normal DD

[smoky steeple]

Tru

[ancient cove]

They don't even read the server description

I often host 8 player lobbies on EDD.
Wanted to try DD with 4 players but all stages are Haz 5

Almost all people who joined, haven't read the description at all

[smoky steeple]

I only really do dd and edds with my frind group 2 ore 3 people including me

[ancient cove]

DD itself is easy and I have no issue to do it normally with greenies.
But in EDD you just have more experience players, who also read server descriptions.
Easier to have fun.

[smoky steeple]

I agree with you edd is bether with experienced players is a lot more fun

[coral pond]

I carried a greenbeard through this edd and it was quite possibly the most stressful thing i've done in this game

[smoky steeple]

Understandable have a great day

[solemn dust]

Ye

[dark stump]

want to do it again?

[coral pond]

Would but i don't have the time rn, too much shit coming up for me to play

[quaint holly]

Elite deepdive with scout and engi

[velvet raptor]

solo gunner build?

[tropic jackal]

LSLS hellfire works on any mission type

[velvet raptor]

i dont have LS

[dense pebble]

Do you have a lot of overclocks or no

If less than 10 gunner ones list them out and we’ll attempt to give you something

[velvet raptor]

tbh i have like almost none

one sec

compact feed mechanism. Plasma Burster Missiles. SIx shooter and magic bullets

or an engi build. Have light weight mags for warthog and overdrive and magma for shard diffractor aswell as hyper propellant

[mellow cradle]

hmmm

hyperprop would certainly be nice for this week's EDD, since it has 3 dreads, and an elite threat

but, you would have to fit your entire swarmclear into turret whip and grenades

which is not a good idea against swarmageddon, I think

[velvet raptor]

and something not specific to the week?

like just all around good?

[mellow cradle]

ah, you want something general

compact feed mechanism minigun for single target, and magic bullets for crowds would be good, I think

[coral pond]

Lightweight mags and shard magma is a pretty solid combo too

Not as much of a dread killer but you have the sustain for swarmageddon and shard is still good for dreads if you build it right

Paired with gemini defender whip and ssg nades, should be alright

[mellow cradle]

yeah, VIR doesn't hinder shard diffractor's single target dmg much, surprisingly

[coral pond]

half charge capacity isn't horrible, and the t3 "mag" upgrade doesn't compete with weakpoint so not a horrible option

i'd probably go 31123 with vir? since the t4 heat mod ain't great on dreads and vir takes care of it everywhere else. Plus armor break on twins is nice

[mellow cradle]

they said the want more of a generalist build, so I think the heat mod is still pretty good

I agree with the other choices though

[coral pond]

yeah t4 is the one up for debate/personal preference

[velvet raptor]

and i jus got brt lead spray

[mellow cradle]

then you can just run oc-less aoe hurricane with lead spray I guess

[quaint holly]

I just did my first elite deep dive first try

[mellow cradle]

noice

[manic pivot]

ATTENTION MINERS!
We are hearing rumors that some dwarves are still not done with this weeks Deep Dives!
We want to remind you that there's only half a week left until our scanners pick up new missions!
_ _

[wraith shard]

ayy me too, second try though. last weeks deep dive I got obliterated.

Had some cracked out gunner that carried

[versed panther]

i'm doing my first normal DD and the Dreadnought Hiveguard isn't summoning its Sentinels

that has to be a bug

[coral pond]

it's a very common bug

smack it, throw a shield on it, bait out it's attack. All ways to fix it's ai that i've heard of

[velvet raptor]

can you drop resupply pods on dreadnoughts? Do they instantly die?

[dark stump]

yes, no. Does a lot of damage though.

there's vids on youtube

[spiral badge]

Super tricky to land one on them except by luck

[lusty shuttle]

If you time it right, the easiest one to resupply is a Hiveguard since they stand still during their vulnerable phase.

[fossil solar]

What kind of level of preparation or experience should you have if you're interested in doing a deep dive?

[buoyant wing]

normal deep dive, just be willing to work together
EDD work harder, having experience definitely helps, prepare for death

[fossil solar]

alright, cheers

[bitter canyon]

can do haz 3s

[vagrant acorn]

This week’s dd has swarmageddon, haunted cave and 2 elimination objectives. Good luck

[sweet cradle]

This week's deep dive is really tough because of the conditions you're put into

I did the normal deep dive as a two man crew (because I was with a singular friend of mine) and we were struggling with it really roughly, managed to make it out in the end because the final stage was the equivalent of a breather, but yikes, you really have to know how to manage swarmageddon

[mellow cradle]

I did this weeks DD with a 4 scout team, lel

[floral minnow]

If you’re fine with normal haz 4 it should be fine really, it’ll likely be a breeze if your whole team is at that level

[vapid roost]

Hows the EDD this week ppl, Easy, medium, hard, SOUL CRUSHING?

[mellow cradle]

it's not hard

you get a ton of nitra from 5 mini mules

[cinder horizon]

the deep dive from this week is bumming me out bruh

i dunno why but i cant keep the horror agroed to me to keep it away from everyone else

[mellow cradle]

I found it that if you keep stepping into the edge of his range, he'll keep coming for you

[cinder horizon]

okay okay

[mellow cradle]

just outside of the range of the particles

[sweet cradle]

Okay... so what's the BEST way to tackle elite deep dives without a designated team?

Like I can join/host EDD lobbies but swarmageddon is going to erase our HP

I joined a lobby a few days ago and we almost made it to the end of the first stage

but we lost a team mate, and we couldn't handle the damage being done to us, leaving us overwhelmed

I haven't completed a single elite deep dive yet and it's disheartening

[mellow cradle]

you need a competent driller for swarmageddon, that would be the simplest solution to the first stage

[sweet cradle]

...

[mellow cradle]

any primary works, really

if you don't trust teammates in pubs, you can play driller yourself

[sweet cradle]

Yeah I guess my Elim driller was not the right choice for swarmageddon

[mellow cradle]

what is your elimination driller?

[sweet cradle]

Sludge Pump: 13222 | Sludge Blast
CWC: 23221 | Blustering Necrosis

[mellow cradle]

well, you probably shouldn't take sludge blast

[sweet cradle]

Sludge Blast works well on dreadnoughts, and after checking the pinned messages, I focused on that because dead dreadnoughts on haz 5.5 is probably for the better

...Swarmageddon had me realize otherwise

then again I have nothing that can combat that warning

[zenith ember]

both sides are pretty bad this round

[mellow cradle]

cryo works for both swarmers and dreads

[zenith ember]

he wont have single target dmg as cryo if he goes solo

[sweet cradle]

...you're insane to believe that cryo works on dreads

[zenith ember]

actually ice storm maybe

[mellow cradle]

it is, but you need coordination from the team

[coral pond]

You're insane to think cryo doesn't work on dreads lmao

[mellow cradle]

...which is probably too much to ask in pubs

[coral pond]

Have you never seen the shenanigans done with cryo on dreads?

[smoky steeple]

I dont think he did

[coral pond]

Axe spamming into a frozen dread can kill it in one phase if done fast enough

[sweet cradle]

Not really, I've frozen dreads before and watched them get frozen

They're frozen for such a short time that you are either have to be super coordinated to do any reasonable damage to them... or just waste a ton of ammo trying to do "damage" to a dreadnought that a subata bullet does better damage with

[zenith ember]

if you are going in a team yeah cryo is prob the best out of the 3 weapons

the idea for cryo on elim is for the other people to burst, you are the support there

[sweet cradle]

I'm always in a team, but I'm not trusting a public lobby or myself to successfully freeze a dread to do massive burst damage onto it, you're insane

[zenith ember]

then dont go driller ig

[mellow cradle]

you can also take sludge pump, but with a normal charged shot I guess

[coral pond]

You either burst down with sludge pump and cope about swarmageddon, or go cryo and cover everything 🤷

[zenith ember]

sludge with fragments is decent yeah

still the same issue when it comes to dreads but at least its ok against swarms

[mellow cradle]

if you take longer puddles, then you could deal with the swarmageddon as well

[zenith ember]

also at least put some faith in your team, they wont try EDDs if they arent confident in clearing

[bitter hawk]

Are other people getting disconnected in this elite deep dive this week?

[sweet cradle]

It's not even EDD, but moreso just swarmageddon in general

[bitter hawk]

huh

[zenith ember]

No issues out of the 2 runs i did

[sweet cradle]

even got my ass kicked in a haz 3 swarmageddon with a greenbeard

[zenith ember]

Remove the sludge blast and go fragments build

[coral pond]

💀

[mellow cradle]

you shoot a charged shot and kite the swarmers into the puddle

you can even stand in the puddle if you can afford to

bonus points if it's in a choke point

you can even coordinate with an engie with repellant additive to make a choke so that you have to shoot puddles into just a single space

you could do that for an uplink / refuel

[bitter hawk]

welp

i had to end up solo elite deepdiving after all my mates dc'd

[spiral badge]

did ya do it?

[bitter hawk]

yeah

[spiral badge]

sick 💪🏻

[bitter hawk]

it wasnt that bad soloing this one ngl

engineer btw

[spiral badge]

what stage did they drop at

i can solo normal DDs most of the time, not this week cause of dumb haunted cave

[bitter hawk]

first stage

mid way through stage 1

[mellow cradle]

fortunate timing

they dc'ed after having dealt with the swarmageddon, so that your engi could take care of the dreads solo later

[valid orchid]

Regular DD was fine. Haunted cave made 2nd a bit spicy

I solod it so its fine. That said Im a Scout so ghost isnt as bad for me

[spiral badge]

yeah lol, ghost cant even touch a scout

[pliant roost]

I was chased by invicible stuff

And i got creepy eebie jeebies

[wraith shard]

could someone show me or direct me where I can find this week's deep dive info? thank you guys!

[mellow cradle]

pinned messages in this channel

[spiral badge]

super easy pinned! one reason i joined this server, it was always too hard to find on the reddit page

[wraith shard]

thank you mentlegen

[fossil solar]

just had my first encounter with the terror, definitely an interesting experience

[spiral badge]

terror?

[mellow cradle]

they probably mean the unknown horror

[spiral badge]

ghost? yeaaaahh thats definitely a thing

we got team wiped by it and luckily i had saved my IW so i used that and a shield to res, then we were able to finish it

[fossil solar]

I forgot if it was called the unknown horror or the unknown terror

too busy running from it to be fair

[mellow cradle]

understandable, lol

[spiral badge]

Lol same

I wish it’s speed scaled for the number of players. Like in solo it’s way too fast for 1 person unless you’re scout

[fossil solar]

at the start of the dive i said it was my first one, we get to the second level and two people in the lobby who have done dives before say that I'm "about to meet casper"

[iron wren]

these spitballers on the edd stage 1 are a joke

[radiant dragon]

hey y’all running this weeks deep dive on xbox rn if anyone needs it

[onyx iron]

do you guys ever think if Overclocks were randomized (like Warframe Mods if you know how those work) then there'll be a market for DRG?

[onyx iron]

randomized overclocks would kill the game dumbass 😂

[coral pond]

did you really just respond to yourself like nobody would notice?

[onyx iron]

no because I thought about it then realized it was stupid

[coral pond]

really looks like a schizo moment ngl

[karmic zenith]

something something warframe riven mafia

[woeful niche]

your referring to the bad timeline. We live in the world where we buy all this games content by just buying the game

[onyx iron]

exactly!!!

[ocean crane]

hallooo

im new here lol

can anyone help me with a deep dive?

[icy ledge]

#lfg-steam

[lost cliff]

Just finished my first deep dive a bit ago- dare I say it was- CHAOTIC.

But can finally start getting all those fancy matrix cores and whatnot

[stuck quiver]

You guys solo elite dds?

[shell cosmos]

FUCK this week’s deep dive.
The second mission cave’s generation is complete dogshit and I had an hour of my time wasted by it along with the potential harvest of having pots o gold on a deep dive. Not to mention that I died once because the game just wouldn’t let me deposit an egg in the mule and again to being knocked off a zipline trying to get around the bullshit cave because you move like molasses and it’s a frickin haunted cave mission.

I wasn’t in the mood to have an hour of my time and a ton of potential gold wasted by design errors.

[spiral badge]

Haunted cave is a pain to be sure

[rapid totem]

how shit we talking for cave gen bc i wanna do it for the matrix cores

alr

going in as gunner wish me luck

[spiral badge]

Good luck if solo

Should be doable with a couple ppl

[unkempt saffron]

if you have an idea for the game include it in #suggestions , but not this one, this is a bad suggestion

[broken palm]

Anyone available to help?

I have a question

Csnt seem to find the answer online

[rapid totem]

i went solo

almost finished with stage 3

[bitter olive]

so real

[urban panther]

do people in elite deep dives generally kick low levels?

[dense pebble]

Depends

Usually only if the low level guy does something really stupid.

However, some people put a level requirement in their server name. Make sure to read those before you try and join.

[urban panther]

so (not including level requirements in the name) if i join an elite deep dive more often than not i wont get kicked?

[dense pebble]

Most likely not.

[urban panther]

ok thank god because overclock grind is so stupid

i need every tiny bit of a bump i can get 💀

[dense pebble]

Just follow normal etiquette, communicate and stick with the team.

[urban panther]

gotcha thanks man

[dense pebble]

Good luck!

[atomic prawn]

Aye, it's about mutual respect, if you throw a 1 hour long mission, you've wasted not just your hour, but the hours of 3 other people

and people (esp. working people), don't always have a lot of free time to game

[fallow niche]

bounced through EDD blind with bosco as sludge blast / persistent plasma driller, pretty easy this week

bulk showing up during second uplink phase was minorly annoying.

[shell cosmos]

Make sure you use ziplines liberally if you go through the dirt wall that already has a hole in it because the path down is awful and you don’t want to have the experience searching for the way back out that I did.

[rapid totem]

oh dont worry it happened to me too

[shell cosmos]

Second mission?

[rapid totem]

i tried to zipline away but the damn ghost det kept blowing up

so i just took the long way

damn mule climbs up the ceiling

[shell cosmos]

Yeah that too
I was able to kite it and get back up multiple times but I could not find the goddamn hole with the slow-ass flare recharge.

[rapid totem]

i just use the terrain scanner

[shell cosmos]

I tried but the picture presented was really screwy and I didn’t have long to study it at a time cause of the stupid ghost
Like I knew the direction the starting chamber was in but could not find the stupid dirt wall to get back

Also it wasn’t showing me the alien eggs for some reason so I couldn’t find another way deeper in to get the rest of the eggs that way. I discovered later that there was a path, it just wasn’t clear at all and I didn’t find it after 20 minutes of searching so that was even more annoying.

[rough scaffold]

that's 1 domain to host

[spiral badge]

I see you play gunner. One thing I sometimes do with a ghost is zip line up high and pull out my scanner while I’m on the zip that way I’m moving, usually away from where the ghost is rather than just standing there

[bronze island]

This EDD was my first and must say it was challenging. Me and my partner did it as driller and scout. Took us 3 tries to get past the first stage and then we were golden

Really stressful, really fun

[river pumice]

even with pots of gold, mining gold generally isn't worth it. Like from an actual time spent/reward standpoint. Unless you're actually struggling for credits i guess but even then I would probably still not mine gold and just try to complete missions faster.

And yeah fuck some of these cave generations, I just straight up don't play gunner on any complexity 3 missions.

[spiral badge]

I have around 220k credits and I still can’t help not mining gold when I see it

Think I have gold fever

[river pumice]

idk what level you are but 220k is not a lot. Later on the prestiges become like 100k credits and 2k of each resource type of deal

like it's fine/plenty, and mine gold if you want to

but yeah later on the promotions become stupid expensive

[spiral badge]

I’ve heard

[river pumice]

neuron activation

[spiral badge]

I’m level 35-40 ish

[river pumice]

correction: my friend told me that with pots of gold, mining gold is worth it but also ew boring. ghostship games plz make 1 shot gold ty

[river pumice]

you're fine then lmao

[spiral badge]

But muh gold 😢

[mellow cradle]

I remember we failed a mission once because of pots of gold

[spiral badge]

Idk I think it’s an addiction to mine

[mellow cradle]

we got a crassus detonator, and since we had pots of gold, we mined it all with pickaxes
the mission was a mining expedition with low O2, and because we spent so much time on the gold, we run out of nitra and died to the swarms eventually

[full saddle]

that happened to me as well

rite of passage, perhaps

[spiral badge]

OOF

[woeful niche]

they never get expensive enough that the cost is greater then the average amount of credits that you get while leveling

[spiral badge]

Gotta always have 80 nitra in the bag

[river pumice]

this is true

[spiral badge]

One nice thing solo, you can tell Bosco to mine the gold up high from a Crassus while you do more important things

[mellow cradle]

bosco doesn't benefit from pots of gold though

[spiral badge]

True

[woeful niche]

i’m too lazy for pots of gold, i just always blow it up with tcf unless the team is really insistent on mining

[shell cosmos]

That’s a good idea.
I’ve almost got scout high enough to promote but for now yeah, I only have gunner

[shell cosmos]

I’ve still got plenty of mods and overclocks I need to buy and the gold usually contributes a significant amount of the money I get for missions, especially with pots o gold, so I usually still go for it. Not always but usually. And the prospect of pots o gold for a whole deep dive was just too good. I got over 10k gold despite failing on the second mission, I could have had so much if I didn’t get hosed.

[spiral badge]

I’ve probably only seen pots o gold like once, it’s weird

I always see either red rock, skull crusher or sometimes tunnel rat

[pastel jacinth]

Dark morkite is nowhere to be seen

Bro got got by the scam 💀💀💀rip them

[dense sage]

ouch

[formal estuary]

who wan deep dive?

🥺

[dense lintel]

I keep hearing a monster roar before any mining event begins, is it just me? could it be related to the boss getting introduced next season? Rock or stone?

[wraith shard]

Which mining event are you referring to? If it’s whenever you get an egg, that roar has always been there. If it’s the meteor, that’s just a sound effect, I’d bet

[dense lintel]

Yeah im referring to the moment before you see the meteor drop i've heard it on the big ones not with the event with many meteors

[limber radish]

I hear it too. Always just thought it was the sound of rock scraping against rock

[dense lintel]

Might be that but to me it sounds like some roar, wish i could record a small clip next time it happens :p

[wraith shard]

Yeah it’s likely just the sound effect for it falling through the ceiling.

[runic relic]

Theres a Sound a while before a meteor thing starts, i figured its meant to be the meteor piece breaking off

[sly vapor]

The Rockpox is alive, it's not just a virus

[river pumice]

Only host can hear the inital roar of the meteor(s)

everyone else only hears the mission control and the sound when mission control says it

but host hears it way before everyone else

[fringe thistle]

e

[midnight basin]

Rockpox is a pox but rock

[dim bramble]

4 hours wasted in co-op deep dive elite runs

so I just went solo like always

1 hour and 12 minutes I'll take it

Why even bother with co-op

[pliant yoke]

Some find it fun

I do for instance

[thin shuttle]

guys i just unlocked deep dives the other day and I'm looking for someone to guide me, anyone interested?

[pliant yoke]

Guide? Guide how

It’s basically three regular missions, back to back, with slightly different and mandatory side objectives.

[thin shuttle]

...I just wanted some company...

[pliant yoke]

I’m not denying that you need company, but if you are looking for a group, you might want to look for a group there: #lfg-steam (or any other relevant channel to your gaming platform)

[thin shuttle]

oh ok, didn't know where to look for

[manic pivot]

ATTENTION MINERS!
Planet scanning is now booting up, 24 hours left until new Deep Dives!

[stable tulip]

just did a solo normal deep dive
and the hardest part about stage 2 was molly

she gets in the way while you're dealing with 3 big bugs
and she's not much faster than the horror, so you'll need to wait for her

[dense pebble]

EDD was easier than I was expecting

No drop pod repair on stage 2, that fight with elite threat is terrifying so glad it wasn’t a thing

We even bulked the hiveguard with no casualties

[fresh ivy]

Yeah molly made stage 2 hard. Along with the map gen being narrow

[spiral badge]

Yeah stage 2 map was weird

You just go through the hole in the bottom, climb the ramp thing and go through a smaller hole right above the bottom hole and rinse repeat to keep away from the ghost, annoying while fighting a dread at the same time

Anyone but me wish there was an option to “lock” Molly in one spot so she wouldn’t try to follow you? Would come in handy in situations like this

[tepid kiln]

When should you start trying deep dives?
Kinda scared of em so far

[burnt sandal]

whenever you want

no reason to be scared

[tepid kiln]

Ive seen some youtube vids, Probably the elite version. But damn that looked hard

[mellow cradle]

you probably saw elite or speedruns
no need to get intimidated

[burnt sandal]

Yeah, the elite deep dive is equivalent to haz 5

but the normal dive is just haz 3

[tepid kiln]

haz 3 isnt that hard. Haz 4 was a big stepup, but feels like most damage absorbed was friendly. Never dared 5..

[mellow cradle]

you're good to go for the regular dive then

[jagged pumice]

agggh the haunted cave + dreadnought is so annoying

lost all of my revives before getting a single egg

i should probably try with a different character next time since engi does not do well with constant movement

[wraith shard]

flamethrower or cryo cannon??

which one is better?

[mellow cradle]

there's no clean cut answer to this

but, if you are talking in the context of this week's EDD, I would take cryo, since there are 3 dreadnaughts to be fought

[dense pebble]

flame thrower does more damage, and combos better with temp shock

also is a hard counter to robotic enemies.

however dreads can't be set on fire, and large enemies in general don't take much fire damage

so it really all depends on what kind of enemies you will face

also cryo cannon + vampirism is pretty nuts

[lean mortar]

the cryo does offer more crowd control and i prefer it over the flamethrower in deep dives

with a co-ordinated team it can give them the space needed for them to do their thang

[dense pebble]

eh, sticky flames has more crowd dps, but cryo lets you work in tight spaces safely.

[mellow cradle]

cryo gives you more time in general

[dense pebble]

oh also, glacial strata enemies take extra fire damage, and magma core enemies take extra cold.

[dusk vessel]

Anyone actually use snowball here

[dense pebble]

tuned cooler.

[dusk vessel]

Trying to figure out how to use it

Yeah also tuned cooler user here

[mellow cradle]

you use it as you would a cryo grenade

[dusk vessel]

Hmm alright

Yeah I've seen people say to use cold radiance up close and snowball for far

[dense pebble]

I take range mod for medium range targets, and run away from anything else.

[woeful niche]

no they don’t

(to the second point)

magma core grunts are just regular grunts

[dense pebble]

Oh

Good to know

Are the radioactive bugs weak to anything I can’t remember

[coral pond]

Idk bout weak but they do resist radiation damage

[spiral badge]

Weak to C4, just like all bugs 😎

[woeful niche]

no but they resist radiation, which is mainly fat boy and colette wave cooker

[dense pebble]

Yeah I knew that

I dunno what they’d be weak to tbh

[spiral badge]

They’re still weak to getting shot in the butt 🤷🏻‍♂️

[fossil solar]

alright just finally beat the elite deep dive

what i'll say is the first stage is definitely the problem stage

like holy hell is it a pain

so many mactera, spitball infectors, and swarmagedon means the whole time you're practically swamped with enemies

[pallid void]

If there is an Engie called Smokey here. I salute you.

For a good EDD.

[manic pivot]

ATTENTION MINERS!
Planet scanning is still in progress, 12 hours left until new Deep Dives!
_ _

[spiral badge]

That guy in Mission Control. He’s sure got a cozy job

[river pumice]

this goes for everyone. If you want to get used to haz 5, just play haz 5 more. If you do nothing but haz 5, you will get better.

Honestly the biggest difference imo between haz 5 and 4 is just how much you get punished for each mistake. Getting hit once here and there on haz 4 is ok, but on haz 5 ya it hurts. So you learn to play more effectively and safely. Also ofc, enemies are tankier but not so much that it makes a huge difference imo. Just need to put a little more work in the killing

[dusk vessel]

Yeah minimizing hits taken is super important in haz 5

You get revived with like one hit levels of hp

It's absolutely miserable to get downed repeatedly because you can't find health

[river pumice]

learn to play as if you are always at 1 hp. Not having health around is pretty much the case 99% of the time

[woeful niche]

no u shudnt be low on hp all the time

if u die and get revived you shud just look for red sugar or resup cus ur health will be super low

[river pumice]

and if there isnt any

[woeful niche]

it’s a deep dive bro

it’s infinite ammo

first stage is mules

that’s 2 free resups on that stage alone

aka hp

[river pumice]

not just talking about the deep dive

i also didnt say you should stay at low hp

[woeful niche]

you can afford to take hits on haz 5 is what i mean

[river pumice]

yes you dont get one shot

[woeful niche]

just don’t get hit by the big dmg dealers like mactera and spitters

[scarlet lark]

Any tips for elite deep dive?

[humble urchin]

Don’t do them

[dusk vessel]

be comfortable with at least haz 4 and know how to do each kind of mission type

(would recommend doing haz 5 before though)

[scarlet lark]

Whats the bonus?

[humble urchin]

You keep your sanity

😂

[scarlet lark]

I meant whats the bonus to doing an elite deep dive?

[dusk vessel]

3 matrix cores

[humble urchin]

Yep

-60 sanity to

[scarlet lark]

Man i want dem overclocks tho

[pale cedar]

Partial rewards are a thing too. you get one core after each stage, same as normal deep dive

my advice, give it one shot. youll get better as you do them, but its not worth doing more than once each week unless you know it was just a bad run

[river pumice]

build accordingly, always keep moving, don't multitask/focus on either the objective or killing.

I'm down for a dd or edd if anyone wants to

[river pumice]

and of course, simply being used to haz 5 is a good idea.

[cursive bough]

[marble mango]

looks at nexus + opressors that tanks c4s

[bitter plank]

Hello, are there any must-have/irreplaceable perks on deep dives? Or should I just put in perks depending on my class build and the biome?

[marble mango]

my go to: dash(on all class aside scout), IW, sweet tooth, resupplier, born ready(depending on your weapon if it needs long reload or not), veteran depositor (if you know how to cancel animation for depositing)

[marble mango]

im talking about elite deep dives btw

[bitter plank]

Thank you!! Rock and stone!

[marble mango]

i would advice also educating yourself with understanding what each perks does and which ones helps in speeding up the missions

Deep dives, esp the elite ones, requires you to be effective in acquiring nitra and completing objectives

that aside 😄 happy deep dives!

[spiral badge]

You just haven’t tried enough

[valid orchid]

I solo'd an EDD for the first time. That was fun as hell

Sandblasted Corridors helps a lot but it was spicy

[candid hollow]

Fucking hell, haunted cave with dreadnought

And with twins, barely survived with the sweat of our brow

[spiral badge]

Uh huh

6 more hours. I should be doing more assignments but I’ve gotten addicted to DDs now

[scarlet lark]

I find soloing normal DDs pretty easy

[spiral badge]

Yeah as long as there’s not haunted cave I usually solo them

[cold veldt]

if you don't die you probably win!

[river pumice]

Telling people to take veteran depositor for an edd should be a gd crime.

[cold veldt]

the speed restock is an okay one i guess?

insta rev and last stand are the best imo

[woeful niche]

dash, resupplier, boron ready, iron will, field medic are all great perks

you can use iron will and insta revive more often on edds so it’s a bit more valuable

[pliant yoke]

Boron Ready

[hearty mason]

[night island]

wait why closed

[hollow citrus]

yea it's locked

[hearty mason]

🤷‍♂️

[haughty breach]

Probs cos a lotta activity

[west yarrow]

They know that we’d lose our shit

[hearty mason]

I mean you'd expect as much when you release a new trailer

[cinder oracle]

yeah was gonna say this update stuff is fuckin awesome then i saw half the channels locked lol

[hearty mason]

so like I said I feel like the game is walking in place rather than getting any new content to play over

[cinder oracle]

eh i don't mind them taking 2 seasons to expand one theme each

[hearty mason]

the weak enemies are a refresher but don't make any new way to play

[cinder oracle]

2 seasons for the rival tech stuff now 2 seasons for the plaguefall

[fervent rose]

What

[night island]

so 3 new enemies, a new crate, and a bunch more rockpox stuff isn't new content?

[burnt sandal]

#drg-chat is back

[fervent rose]

What does that even mean
Are you expecting each season to change the gameplay formula or something

[junior pendant]

lethal enemies in EDD is always pain

[native fossil]

A new mission would have been great

[zenith ember]

EDD seems mild

[hearty mason]

Crowd enemies don't quite change the way you play
the new crate is comparable to scout's ability, I wonder how they'll balance that. Still doesn't have new stuff to play over.
The seasonal enemy is the best part of the update it seems but it's not enough for me.

It's as if we are gravitating into seasons for the sake of marketing the cosmetic DLCs

that's my 2 cents

[night island]

you could argue that a new gun doesn't change the way you play then, if you're saying a new enemy doesn't....

[night island]

yeah your entitled to your opinion, I just don't understand how this much content is 'bad' just cause no new guns or oc

[hearty mason]

The new guns weren't a huge deal for me but I was fine with it if it meant the following updates would have new content to play over, but they don't

[fervent rose]

I feel like most of these complaints are just really high level nitpicks that are phrased like they are some critical flaw with the game
And complaining that a free update doesn't include enough new content beyond new enemies and a new in-mission gadget is a nitpick, you can't change that

[hearty mason]

the game hasn't gotten too much new experiences for me personally. The objective with the boss was theoretically something I'd have digged for but it wasn't too great of a mode (partially due to the enemy robots)

[hearty mason]

I want new experience and content, and I don't get that, simple

so I don't find a good reason to play the game again

[night island]

oh you are looking for new biomes and gamemodes then ig?

[hearty mason]

for example yes

[burnt sandal]

new enemies change gameplay around enough for me

[hearty mason]

bc the current objective have overplayed themselves

[night island]

same

[burnt sandal]

they add a new kind of challenge

[hearty mason]

the seasonal enemy yes, the crowd enemies act more of a refresher on existing stuff

[night island]

one of the things I loved when starting the game was learning how to kill each enemy. eg: first of all I always died to pretorians, then I learned how to fight them and that was fun. it is exciting to have new enemies to discover how to best kill

[hearty mason]

they all have relatively clear weakpoints

[night island]

yeah ik, but learning their attacks and resistances and how long the pretorian vomits for etc

[lean trellis]

why we still have dreadnought

didn't we have like 2 last week

🥲

[lethal sage]

Does anyone know what the deep dive stages are?

[zenith ember]

#deep-dive-discussion message

[eager flame]

Work got me roughed up, updating the pinned now

Just a moment

[zenith ember]

yeah nothing crazy on edd except betc in green puddle on 3

[eager flame]

Alright, it is updated now 👍

Btw normal deep dive should have been called ''Making an Omellete''

[oak horizon]

So many eggs

[outer bloom]

Looking like another fast week…👀

[eager flame]

Only thing that could take a bit of time would be the dread i guess

[dense pebble]

Fungus bogs

Fml

[outer bloom]

Stage 2 would be the longest. You’re stuck waiting 2 minutes for the drop pod to land

[rare carbon]

Do we have new deep dives already or do they come tomorrow?

[tropic reef]

we have them

[eager flame]

Oh yeah, true, even with everyone going as fast as they can it would still be gated

Hmm... but knowing the places of all aquarqs would probably make up for it no?

Anyways, it does look like a sub 30 can be easily done

[outer bloom]

Right, so I think you’re looking at around 4 minutes for that stage. But depending on the layout, this will be another sub-10 minute week for speedrunners

[eager flame]

Oh?

Sub 10 on 4p?

Or just 1p bosco?

Since it is a classic... yeah it can probably be lured into a resupply for a 30 seconds or less kill

Probably with some previous knowledge and optimization a sub-10 can be done, and it will be cool to see what people can come up with

[willow rapids]

Does the electric reload on the GK2 affect the ghost bulk? (at least for the slow component) I know taser bolts on the nishanka work.

[outer bloom]

I think 4player would be optimal for this dive

[spiral badge]

Man, is it Easter again? Soooo many eggs

[shell thicket]

Yep 7 eggs for Egg Mission

[unique plover]

Ffs, shield disruption on stage 3 edd

[ancient cove]

Is the new DD roation live already?

[spiral badge]

Yes, check the pinned post

[copper bane]

Man, a charge sucker at the start of a shield disruption, that's not nice.

[calm sky]

Question. On what days do deep dives reset. Also what time

[mellow cradle]

1 pm CEST on thursdays

[spiral badge]

Thursdays at <t:1686826800:t> your time

[calm sky]

My time zone is GMT-4

[spiral badge]

And?

That uses Unix to display it correctly in your time zone

[calm sky]

I didn’t even know about that feature sorry. How do you do the command for that btw?

Also thanks 🙏

[spiral badge]

This site formats the time code for use on discord https://discordtimestamp.com

But otherwise it’s a string of numbers

[calm sky]

Appreciate it mate

[wraith shard]

engi needed for edd

pub

x

[river pumice]

still need?

[desert lynx]

of fucking course we have shield disruption again

how is the cavegen this week?

seems to be quite short

[vapid coral]

have wave clear in the EDD this week holy hell the swarmers in the escort mission

YEEEEEEEEEESH

We ran two engines,gunner,scout it went pretty well

Lots of nitra tho

so just be smart

[desert lynx]

seems like I need to bring the autocannon again

[spiral badge]

Driller probably (fire or cryo)?

[vapid coral]

No driller

[calm dust]

no c4

[dense pebble]

EDD was in fact rather easy

even though we got a random dread spawn on stage 3 lol

[rapid totem]

this weeks deep dive seems easy... whats the catch?

[tropic jackal]

the normal one? there is no catch its just easy

[rapid totem]

usually easy things come with a catch... thanks

[spiral badge]

It’s randomly generated I think, so no, no catch

[copper horizon]

Wow no warning in edd stage 1... thought it would have a warning each stage

[pliant yoke]

It’s not always the case

[thick solar]

are caves in deep dives big this week?

[dense pebble]

not especially

the complexity is actually fairly low which is kinda nice

[placid musk]

is it normal to get 3 bulks on stage1 dd

because that's what happened and my teammates all got assfucked by it at least once

[torpid hedge]

can i have help with a general build for automated beam controller overclock shard difractor, the main chat is just talking about s4

i currently just have 22222

sorry for the wrong chat

[pliant yoke]

Anything goes, really. I’d build it 32213 for AoE and 21213 for single target

[rose yacht]

Nvm forget it

[dry root]

this week feels pretty easy

had our gunner ragequit on the way to the heartstone but we powered through the rest

[covert oar]

Hell yeah

[bitter hawk]

Man shield disruption this week in elite...

[dry root]

in fungus bogs

have fun with toxic clouds

i mean its a mining mission so its not that bad, there is a mactera wave so just prep for that

[rose yacht]

EDD today is easy as heck.

had like 600 nitra at the end of 3rd stage

its not even funny

[spiral badge]

It sounds funny to have that much nitra

[covert oar]

Couldn’t even get past 2… WHAT?

Oh my god

[rose yacht]

I got a Bet-C + no shields.

it one shotted me.

bet-C hits like a truck

same

but yeah we took it down

we had too much nitra

anyways

[bitter hawk]

nah i just dont like shield disrupt in general
