deep-dive-discussion

[vocal saddle]

im just doing it solo rn because nobody joined

[proud zealot]

Helps when you have people who know what they’re doing

[vocal saddle]

yea I'm having a hard time as well

[gaunt lichen]

what is the difference between the normal deep dive and the elite deep dive

[tough linden]

is it possible for me to do an EDD with builds using no overclocks ?

or will i be a burden 💀

[ivory gazelle]

i think just being acquanted with haz 4 and 5 will do you good. ofc overclocks do help but you can probably still do it if you carry your weight

[quaint gate]

ofcourse

[dense sage]

Generally speaking? Different seed, different hazard level progression.

[gaunt lichen]

ah, understandable

[sharp tundra]

Definitely I’d recommend engie for that

[violet raptor]

Normal deep dive goes haz 3,3.5,3.5 EDD goes haz 4.5,5,5.5

[gaunt lichen]

oh so the last mission is the hardest

[clear pollen]

Anyone doing teh elite deep dive? been through the first 2 stages. Died on the 3rd.

[rose yacht]

The elite deep dive right now is a menace.

specifically the 2nd stage.

experienced 4 freaking bulks.

[violet raptor]

At least you didn’t have a nemesis trigger the twins on the first stage

[rose yacht]

I experienced those acid bombing pricks hide behind the egg

and it accidentally...

triggered the twins.

and we had to fight em in that disgustingly tight area.

[violet raptor]

Oof

[rose yacht]

😂

it was messed up.

the AI of the Acid bombers tends to run away when taking dmg.

not the flying ones,.

the land ones.

[violet raptor]

The spreaders

[near acorn]

EDD 3rd stage bugged again?

[fair spear]

the first stage of the EDD is so claustrophobic and ammo starving if your not careful

my team got to the second stage and almost finished it but got run over by a shellback

i dont even wanna think about the third stage

[tacit jungle]

the red poop bomber is programmed to shoot at dwarves without line of sight, good times

[soft token]

ice spear vs snowball for a cryo driller on the EDD

i typically run ice spear to snipe trijaws and rival bots

but i heard snowball got buffed, which could be good for regenerative bugs

how do they stack up against each other nowadays

[dusty pine]

I mean it's kinda hard to compare them when they fill different niches

[unkempt monolith]

Can someone not promoted go on a deep dive if thier friend invites them

[still geode]

no

[unkempt monolith]

That's a shame I try to play on a family computer but the game always crashes found out through a friend the computer only uses cpu graphics so I am getting a laptop and I was hoping I could join friends in a deep dive

[proud zealot]

I ran compact valves driller with subata and it did a pretty great job on stage 2 EDD

team had to carry for the twins tho

we lost stage 3 cuz we didnt have a gunner and we all died

[tacit jungle]

I wouldn't bring cryo into EDD without making sure someone else has wave clear

[arctic swallow]

Would it be better if I had some players with me in deep dive elite? Or does it get worse the more players are in the team?

[tacit jungle]

2 player is the sweet spot difficulty wise

I only ever play full games tho

[sharp tundra]

Full games make ya more versatile and less likely to have glaring weaknesses

[civic yoke]

if u can handle haz 5 is easier

[lofty crown]

"elite DD is a menace" makes me wanna log back on rn to go play it, but im so tired that'd suck LMAOOOO

[upbeat cosmos]

Is it just me or is this weeks EED helluva hard?

[lofty crown]

not just u!

2nd stage apparently sucks

[upbeat cosmos]

1st is a mess, but never got trough 2nd.

[proud zealot]

ur better off going solo cuz bosco is guaranteed to res you

[upbeat cosmos]

Maybe because someone decided to nuke the whole team...

[lofty crown]

i only ever play full games w/ randoms and it's... a mixed bag. generally fun tho, idm

it's a challenge that way for sure

i get a lot of curious level 30s at the worst times for EDDs

fun but hard

[sharp tundra]

First stage is rlly easy but has no nitra

Second stage is a fist up the arse

Third stage is fine but something bad will happen

Like ur ping skyrocketing when a bulk spawns in

[wary sphinx]

Okay... As someone who has basically only played like 1 mission and that was ages ago... What class should I start with? I'm basically a newbie who is scared of teaming up and getting yelled at for being bad. lol

[sharp tundra]

For deep dive?

[edgy topaz]

Just play whatever anyone who shouts at you is a cunt

[lofty crown]

honestly? DRG is the least toxic game i've ever played multiplayer

as lobby host, you can also kick ppl like this

the only "toxicity" ive had is some kid telling us to stop playing before ragequitting LMAOOOOO

so basically, play who u like

we all have off matches, and we all started somewhere

[sharp tundra]

I’ve had some toxic matches

[kindred coyote]

the regular deep dive was oddly easy

[wary sphinx]

So which is more "idiot friendly" between Miner and Gunner then? Those are the two that really call to me as a person and I figure I should focus on one first.

[sharp tundra]

Only like 3 tho out of like 200

[lofty crown]

they totally exist, but idk, i find them extremely rare

[sharp tundra]

I’d say driller

[lofty crown]

i got into an argument abt bosco vs molly once

[kindred coyote]

my edd was slightly toxic there were two tryhards that were like speedrunning and didnt r check

[lofty crown]

agreed!

[kindred coyote]

ended up leaving gunner behind when starting dotty

[lofty crown]

i started as driller bc flamethrower fun (it is hard at higher levels tho without overclocks)

[kindred coyote]

but its not like gunner was just sitting around gunner was doing a mini mule when they started dotty

[sharp tundra]

Was prob in the lobby name

[kindred coyote]

it was kinda silly

it was not

[lofty crown]

oh i get mild toxicity like that, moreso just not having the etiquette ppl follow

[kindred coyote]

i always check

[lofty crown]

but actual Gamer Rage and shit? nah

[kindred coyote]

gunner did a tiny gamer rage at him

understandably

[sharp tundra]

Sometime I do a little gamer rage when ppl are playing dumb on edd and it’s like my fifth time trying the mission

But worst comes to worst I just abort mission and kick everyone

[kindred coyote]

anyway this regular deep dive was a close one we almost didnt have enough ammo #drg-gallery

[sharp tundra]

Just cuz there’s no way we gonna win going into stage 2 with 30 nitra

[lofty crown]

only time i had gamer rage was the one single match ive had where SOMEONE (looking at the engineer) kept taking resupplies w/o asking, so i was always left low on ammo

i was hangry

[lofty crown]

on this one, probably not right :(

[kindred coyote]

oh yeah drillers and engis kinda annoy me when they do that

[sharp tundra]

They were all new to deep dives and it was an elite

[lofty crown]

i totally knew it was the engi bc i play engi, and low turret ammo sucks

but i wont take ppl's resups

[proud zealot]

Ong driller and engi are probably the least team friendly classes

[sharp tundra]

Honestly occasionally I think engie should double dip

[lofty crown]

^

[kindred coyote]

ngl i kinda hate cryo drillers in 4 player games

[lofty crown]

it rlly depends

[sharp tundra]

Only after asking permission tho

[lofty crown]

and i think they should ask, ye

[sharp tundra]

Since they have so many forms of damage output at the same time

[kindred coyote]

engi as a whole just slurps ammo tho

[lofty crown]

i like cryo drillers if im aware bc i run flame on scout shotgun

fun to temp shock stuff

yea :(

[kindred coyote]

actually its been a while since ive seen a cryo driller ngl

[lofty crown]

scout slurps ammo if the others arent pulling their weight :( ive had to start running more ammo in public

[sharp tundra]

Engie also usually does the most damage

[kindred coyote]

yeah i feel like most engis get caught up in "i have most kills ehhehehehe" and slurp ammo because they think they have the right to

[sharp tundra]

They do

[kindred coyote]

depends

[sharp tundra]

Scout needs the least ammo on a competent team

[lofty crown]

"no turret ammo and that's all im good for :("

[sharp tundra]

Same with driller

[lofty crown]

mhm, i def dont struggle with scout ammo on competent teams

[kindred coyote]

eh i feel like gunner is a good bit more ammo efficient than driller

[sharp tundra]

Driller can easily go through whole mission pulling weight without resupply

All the aoe overclocks allow for that

[kindred coyote]

i wouldnt say thattt much for an edd

[sharp tundra]

Sticky fuel

[kindred coyote]

in like haz 4 mining maybe

[sharp tundra]

And that one for corrosive sludge pump

Goo something?

[kindred coyote]

well yeah thats one ammo efficient build

goo bomber special

i think thats what its claled

but 90% of driller builds are just like engi

mass extermination for a ton of ammo

[sharp tundra]

Not rlly ton of ammo

[still geode]

sometimes i feel bad taking my resupplies as scout on good teams

like im running out of flares and health but i still have ammo because ive just been mining nitra and shit while everyone else killed the bugs with me just picking off a few important targets on the side

[proud zealot]

Depends on the build

I always run ammo on driller tho

[lofty crown]

i judge it by how much ammo the others have tbh

the flares are valuable on maps with large caves tho

in that situation, id probably offer my resup if someone rlly needed it more

[torn kayak]

cuz they like using fat man all day with drones 😄

[oblique rain]

I was about to say engi with LOK-1 or Stubby with laser is the most team friendly class

Although I do agree being anywhere within 50 ft of a driller is death

[spiral badge]

They are the war crime class

[sleek lichen]

So what are the differences about deep dive and deep dive elite?

[barren mural]

Well, this week's DD is pretty easy (I think we had one death, where Driller caught a resupply pod in the face)

And this week's EDD is nitra-starved, and we ran out of ammo on stage 3 and all died

[spiral badge]

In general or this week?

[untold wolf]

hi

[sleek lichen]

In general

[placid musk]

i got dc'ed at the start of stage 3 but we had 2 left over

[spiral badge]

DD is around 3-3.5 haz, elite is 4.5+

[sleek lichen]

Oh damn

[quick quartz]

just finished spineless letdown DD, left the final mission with 12 resup pods on the ground

[normal cedar]

DD - Haz 3, 3.5, 3.5
EDD - Haz 4.5, 5, 5.5

[tawny merlin]

Whats the normal deep dive this week?

[spiral badge]

Leaving some ammo for Karl

[dense sage]

See pinned message

[tawny merlin]

Oohhhh i see i was confused cause it said april 27th so i thought it was an old one

[proud zealot]

easy

[sharp tundra]

I’m pretty sure scout is the only class with grenades that don’t deal friendly fire

Normal deep dive always easy except low o2 and haunted cave

[vocal latch]

bruh, our team just lost the EDD to a single bulk and some oppressor spam after we secured the ommoran

💀

[wind star]

Hello! Yesterday I completed both dive but got only one pack of rewards. Was it always like that? Shouldnt you be rewarded for both of them?

[spiral badge]

I tend to find shield disruption more of a pain than low O2, at least as long as Molly is there

[sinful pond]

wow this EDD was rough

first one ive lost

[vocal saddle]

yea such a struggle

Im gonna try again now

[slim hound]

lost connection at the end of a deep dive stage and got no rewards, edpic!

[vocal saddle]

aight with a good team i did it with the randoweisser

[languid rune]

because of how it's bugged right now, it's possible to do it solo, even

[ancient cove]

Was the mission done before you could reconnect?

[slim hound]

didn't give me the option to reconnect

[ancient cove]

1. After you get disconnected, go to the DD/EDD Terminal and find the lobby you were in before (it will be grayed out)
2. Mouse Right-Click on the lobby to open the Steam Profile of the Host.
3. If Host's profile isn't private/invisible etc. there should be a green "Join" button
4. Use the Join button to rejoin the lobby.
   If host's profile is private, you can try to add him as friend.

[olive flicker]

Man, just got chain killed in solo edd stage 2, fuel cells.

[full saddle]

s2 is definitely the killer this week

[olive flicker]

After the first death I just insta died to grunts + spitters within 5s of respawn.

Twice.

[full saddle]

i got stingtail spammed and almost lost due to timer lol

[olive flicker]

Was smooth sailing up to that point.

Stingtails having non existent weakpoints is really annoying.

It's tiny ass mouth underside that's impossible to consistently hit.

[full saddle]

yeah i started playing call of duty with them, hiding behind rocks lmfao

[olive flicker]

Attempting to solo missions that require staying in an area is pretty brutal.

Eh was a good run, don't think I'll re-attempt it.

[full saddle]

maybe you'll be able to get some buds and hit it up, will definitely be much easier in a team

one of the harder EDDs for solo in recent memory, i think

[olive flicker]

I know I can get through with more attempts, but I'm not in the mood for it.

[full saddle]

yeah fair enough

my successful attempt took an hour and if i had lost the final stage i'd have not bothered again lol

[olive flicker]

No point hating the game while playing it lol

[full saddle]

mhm very true

[olive flicker]

I do wish they would give stingtails a better weakpoint though, that's my only complaint so far.

Apart from the new spitters trying to shoot you through a wall (and failing), but thats just an ai bug I'm sure they'll iron out.

[vivid estuary]

Hoi

can I just go into a deep dive

or do I need to like plan up

I assume this is the games raid system

[tardy girder]

i mean, you can read the pinneds to see what the dives are for the current week and prepare based on that, but other than that, you just need a promoted dwarf to unlock deep dives and you need to finish a regular dive to play an elite deep dive

[vivid estuary]

I did just promote my first dwarf

[tardy girder]

then you're good to go, although you should keep in mind that you can ONLY use promoted dwarves in deep dives

the game won't let you use a non-promoted dwarf

[vivid estuary]

ah, ill just work on getting all of mine up to snuff before doing these

are the deep dives like, as difficult as Haz 5

or are they just longer missions for the most part

[tardy radish]

DD: 3 -> 3.5 -> 3.5 (unchanging)
EDD: 4.5 -> 5 - > 5.5

[full saddle]

its very likely that you'll be able to do a regular deep dive evne if you have only 1 promoted dwarf and it's good to do them early since you'll get overclocks which are potentially very good

[vivid estuary]

👍

I just promoted a scout, which I assume is too common in ques

so ill try to at least get a gunner up too

[full saddle]

i really wouldnt worry too much about it for normal DDs

[tardy radish]

you can just host ur own lobby if you please, or join lobbies that allow class dupes

[vivid estuary]

mm

[tardy girder]

yeah, regular dives are fairly comfortable - if you're good on haz 3 or 4, you should be fine

[tardy radish]

also rip to the person who i spent duoing an edd for an hour only to have him randomly disconnect by the third stage 😭

[vivid estuary]

🫡

[tardy radish]

i had already completed this week's edd so i was doin' it for him

a major sad moment

[young yew]

DD has some funny drop pod locations, I'll give it that

[winged moon]

Whats the highest someone got on jetty boot

[shell cosmos]

At least he got the blank core and the weapon overclock

[tardy radish]

highscore 390 rn but i'm sure there's higher

[tardy radish]

true

[quasi sleet]

The buried double resupply from the salvage op is the only thing keeping the EDD runs alive

[coral pond]

<@&296918282403840000>

[turbid dawn]

ive gotten hooked through a fucking wall

[spare spoke]

Last friday i have (successfully) completed my second-ever deep dive

I had to leave on the first one

[spiral badge]

Oof. Sounds like they need fixing

Xbox here so I can’t wait to experience the madness

[turbid dawn]

well even if theres a tiny LOS on you, youll get hooked, through the ground, through a roof through a platform everything happens, theyre super fun to play though, they should add a hook cancel option like cave leeches with dmg

[spiral badge]

Yeah that perk should extend to that as well

[tacit jungle]

I got hooked like five times in a row as scout while trying to mine until I complained in voice chat and the engi popped the scorpo

[pearl pelican]

How is the elite deep dive this week? Brutal?

[quasi sleet]

it's pretty bad, but what makes it worse is that it's not just the veteran players doing EDDs, everyone has come back to the game

[static lichen]

funfact, you can complete an exodia in this edd

you have a doretta head + 4 excess legs

[spiral badge]

The wot mate

Ah, Yugioh nerds

[tiny portal]

Eh EDD was alright this week

Maybe I just had a competent team

Nothing crazy with the EDD either way

[static lichen]

i did this edd solo, eh, once you get used to fighting stingtails on ground level, it's fine

one of them spawned on a dark ceiling and threw me on the drop pod during uplink

but platforms can absorb fall damage, so i survived

then i did it along with my roommate, the hardest part was nemesis pulling a "nothing personal" on me during the twins fight, but we managed to survive

but overall, the hardest part of this edd is not getting memed by stingtails in stage 2

[tiny portal]

Yea they are rough

I had the least downs of the team this EDD as driller with 10 downs lmao

But everyone was solid so we pulled through

[outer cloud]

legit got oneshot by a stingtail from full shield and hp when the tail hit me

some weird bugs going on

[tiny portal]

They have so much hp too

Its like praet hp with normal grunt hitbox

A nice challenge I guess

[outer cloud]

yeah they are tough mofos

[tiny portal]

Finally some bugs that can take my C4 or Fat Boy

[outer cloud]

i enjoy hipster a lot more this season because of input buffer and it seems to work great against them because m1k armor breaking is busted

they die very quickly after i rush them

[tiny portal]

I tried supercooling M1000 but it wasnt my thing so now I want hipster too since it looks like a great OC

[outer cloud]

yeah supercooling feels like overkill most of the time

i'm an ASS man myself

[spiral badge]

Do stings have a weak spot like praets?

[dense pebble]

a very, very small one

below the mouth

essentially you're better off bringing something with armor break and brute forcing them

[tiny portal]

Also if you want to try anything else for scout try drak 11332 Agressive Venting its really slept on. You get 950 bullets and overheat every 45 bullets (which happens within 3 sec) and get big AOE dmg around you, you're like a walking bomb

[outer cloud]

aggressive venting feels great solo but difficult to use properly with a big group

same with fire bolts

[tiny portal]

Its great in when youre in a pinch

All glyphids instantly run and die around you

[still geode]

fire bolts are much easier to use in teams imo

[tiny portal]

Plus you get that nice movememt bonus as well

To reposition

[outer cloud]

it's a good pick in point extraction regardless

[tiny portal]

You can use fire bolts with it if you want

[outer cloud]

because everyone tends to spread out

[tiny portal]

Yes

[outer cloud]

and you're getting constantly attacked

[tiny portal]

I am a jumbo shells enjoyer myself but thats just because I started as driller and never grew out of the cave brain that is a driller main

Boltshark is more skillful and cool and I always respect the choice

[outer cloud]

boltshark is nice but i wish the builds outside fire/cryo were better

and the ones other than pheromones

[woeful niche]

quick fire and trifork are slept on imo

[outer cloud]

it feels nice with electrocuting focus shots gotta admit

i have to play that more

[warped veldt]

bodkin kinda sucks but its super fun

[coral pond]

bodkin is my favorite boltshark oc :/

[vapid frost]

any huulis in current deep dives?

[static lichen]

no huulis in edd, normal deep dive had one, stage 1 iirc

[desert lynx]

didn't see a huuli in stage one this week. Where is it?

[static lichen]

i had it in the spawn room

[desert lynx]

I'll head back later to check

(need enor)

[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!
_ _

[primal venture]

500 nitra
Nice

[devout willow]

The edd has officially traumatized me

[proud zealot]

lol

[devout willow]

Clutches are awesome

It’s just

After the tenth time it gets kinda old

[proud zealot]

I got to the last stage with sub par randos

Flamethrower driller is pretty clutch

And the new subata does good damage to dreads

[empty canyon]

Just finished my first elite dive try
Ended up with bulk detonator blowing up doretta at last phase of ommoran core drilling at stage 3

What a hellhole of a mission

[devout willow]

The bulk scared the shit outta me

Luckily we were able to clutch

[errant moat]

Suprise bulk!

This week's EDD was real rough

[lime vigil]

Three Bulks and a Nemesis on our end

Nemesis on one, one Bulk on two, two Bulks on three

Nothing short of a fucking miracle

[empty canyon]

Thats a regular deep dive iirc?

[lime vigil]

Elite

I've only done two - are they all like that?

[tacit jungle]

no, they vary quite a bit and there are more relaxing ones

didn't have too much trouble with this week's despite a pothead engi

if you're having trouble with bulks it's probably a team issue, they're manageable if everybody is shooting instead of running around

[runic relic]

Had 2 bulks for dotty, still doable enough. This edd was decently tough but no caretaker

[velvet raptor]

last weeks edd felt like haz 2 and this one feels like haz 8

[full saddle]

yeah its a bunch of hard objectives back to back to back

rough one

[empty canyon]

Our problem was that everybody were actually shooting until our driller warned us that it is too close to dozer
Not sure why it exploded in the end, but low health didnt help it stay in one piece for sure

[exotic belfry]

What's the link do? Depending on what it is may be violating the rules "- No advertising channels or other Discord servers."

[dense sage]

<@&296918282403840000>

widespread bot spam

[uneven lynx]

With a name like that its to be expected really

[exotic belfry]

Looks like a bunch of people got hacked 😕 , Since most of these people have been in the discord for a while.

[pseudo ember]

anyone got tips on my first deep dive ever

[full saddle]

normal or elite

[pseudo ember]

normal

[full saddle]

if you can do hazard 4, you're more than capable of beating it
the only real advice is to look at what the week is (check pinned messages in this channel) and bring a build that works for all the levels

[pastel cargo]

Pretty new to DRG, is the Engineer shotgun good, or is that something people switch off of the moment they're able?

[burnt sandal]

all guns are good

so it's up to your preferences

[mental crescent]

Its good

[oblique rain]

Use the shotgun with turret whip, it's like a new engie class

[gaunt mortar]

someone talking about hoarders in the deep dive, i had hoarders in all 3 stages on the deep dive this week. quite surprising

[burnt sandal]

that's not impossible but quite unusual

[gaunt mortar]

yeah it was definitely strange. i guess no one had that same experience?

[burnt sandal]

were you hosting ?

[gaunt mortar]

i don't believe i was, i think i joined a group

[burnt sandal]

likely a modded lobby then

[gaunt mortar]

is that possible on windows store/xbox app?

[burnt sandal]

possible yeah
could also be cheats 😄

[gaunt mortar]

ah makes sense

[static rain]

me and my buddy (bigpimpin) are tryna do EDD who wants to join?

[coral pond]

Huulie hoarders have a 15% chance to spawn on map creation. If i did my math correctly, the chance of getting one on every stage is about 0.33%

[tiny portal]

Bot^ also a fishing message

[empty canyon]

<@&296918282403840000> bot^

[bitter canyon]

anyone up for EDD EU?

[lime sonnet]

Is there any place where I can make suggestions?

[dense sage]

#suggestions

[edgy whale]

really struggling with this weeks EDD any ideas?

[warped veldt]

hire a cryo scout

works like a charm

[dusty pine]

me

[opal cape]

ayo? ktur? didn't know you played drg in addition to cogmind. small world, fancy that :P

[empty canyon]

Yeah, small world indeed
I see cogmind players in most discords I check

[opal cape]

:]

yeah, i'd spotted mantis here before but not noticed you.

[empty canyon]

Im here since last week

[opal cape]

ah, that'll do it

[wide solstice]

Whats on the EDD this week?

[clear prism]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/631168444154249260/1120608175415111821/image.png
2 hours… why? Because 20 MORKITE

This is my first deep dive.

I just haven’t found one room with ~50 morkite.

[pliant yoke]

Pick your poison, but anything that will help you against Rivals on EDD1 is decent enough

[mortal cliff]

Player this week's EDD with Drak SBB and worked like a charm

[zenith ember]

sbb is pretty good at keeping you alive now if you are still trying, although AISE is also strong

heat db with special/jumbo/stuffed prob a good pairing,
zhukov with blowthrough gas recycling (for stingtail), embedded if you are confident that teammates can clear trash
xbow with pheromones + cryo bolts/specialist is always solid, fire bolts if you are soloing

[mortal cliff]

Embedded detonators

[random mural]

Anyone have any tips for Stage 2? Keep struggling with that one

[old widget]

General tips for high haz salvage. Go slow, stay together if not scout, avoid the mini mules and don’t dig up legs until you’ve cleared the stationaries and adds in the main chamber

Coming close to a mini mule for the first time spawns a sizeable wave about 30 seconds later, and one out of four legs will spawn a wave when you dig it up, so you can get lots and lots of bugs quickly if you rush in

[mellow cradle]

and make sure to prepare the terrain for the uplink and refuel

eliminate sharp legdes from where bugs can suddenly emerge, and make sure you have proper sightlines

also destroy terrain so that you have the full 5 meter radius to move in

[zenith ember]

What both of them said, except that legs dont spawn a wave, getting within the blinking range of mini mules does along with natural ones if you take too long

This edd's stage 2 can be rough depending on box location(my first attempt was in a narrow tunnel) and not killing mobs, especially stingtails/high hp/dangerous bugs

Latter is very common with pubs

Id say make use of cover to avoid projectiles, alot of pillars around

[old widget]

Digging up legs does have a chance to spawn a wave, FYI.

https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/Salvage_Operation

Coming within 2 meters of a Mini M.U.L.E. for the first time will trigger a large wave of enemies after 12 to 30 seconds. Another, smaller wave of enemies will spawn when one of the legs that are found near each Mini M.U.L.E. is dug out. This leg is picked randomly.

[zenith ember]

my own tests shows that it doesnt, neither is there a confirmation on #wiki-related-chatroom . But if its on the wiki i guess its right then assuming that someone with source codes seen a value for it

[old widget]

Have you read MeatShield's writeup from
#wiki-related-chatroom message ?

That's the source research, AFAIK. My own experience seems to support it, but feel free to do some empirical testing and challenge that 3-year-old research if it seems like the behavior has changed.

[zenith ember]

hey you are right ok? im done talking about it, i already said that if its on the wiki its right

[old widget]

(Apologies if I came across as snippy, honestly just trying to share accurate info - all good miner . These things do change over time, so honestly more testing never hurts )

[hollow citrus]

also, today's patch seems to have toned down spawns overall, so give the DD another try if you can

[stable pulsar]

oh my god, this week's elite is such a pain

especially the second level

[spring lava]

i keep dying to stingtails or the septic spreaders

where are stingtail weapoints even

[mellow cradle]

on it's mouth between the horns, and on it's back, underneath armor

it's colored blue

[woeful niche]

their mouth (under the tusks) and another one on their back under armor

[spring lava]

ah so for the back weakpoint you need to break armor first?

[mellow cradle]

yes

[woeful niche]

yes and i think it’s heavy armor so similiar to a brundle

[trail pivot]

ugh triple salvage

[worn anchor]

I hate mini mollies

worst

[spiral badge]

Who are all these stupid dwarves who let them get broken and then died anyway?!

[unique ore]

they great tho, free nitra

[worn anchor]

I have enough nitra

molly should stop losing her children

[thin fossil]

hey guys im new to this unity thingy

how do you get the roles?

[wraith shard]

Last update has completely charged the elite deep drives to the point it's just stupid

[elfin mural]

Oh?

[wraith shard]

Bugs seem to have doubled and can't ever get enough stuff for a resupply

[wraith shard]

This is complete bullshit what the devs did

[coral pond]

considering the patch notes have nothing related to dives, mission modifiers, or spawn rates, i feel like you're just very unlucky

[dreamy girder]

how can I enter voice pod?

[pliant yoke]

Read through and get yourself a role in #welcome-and-rules

[burnt sandal]

weird because nothing changed

[ancient cove]

I think I know what he is talking about.
Yesterday I started a Hazard 5 mission very early in my region and was alone with Bosco. There were like 2-3 Rockpox Breeder and I was under constant pressure from like hundreds of rockpox larva, combined with other new enemies like Stingtails I was totally overrun.
I was Driller and thanks to all the pressure I couldn't get near enough to freeze Breeders with my Cryo cannon and I run out of ammo and Bosco revives before I could even get enough Nitra.

[candid yoke]

do you want a edd duo?

[ancient cove]

New enemy types are very strong compared to previous bugs. And if they spawn together with larger swarms, the difficulty goes pretty much from old Haz 5 to like "Haz 6".
And Elite Deep Dive was always pretty hard.

[candid yoke]

the new enemy types are strong right now because players dont have enough experience fighting them yet, they dont know the counterplay to them

[coral pond]

honestly once they're identified, i have yet to be in a mission where they don't get bodied immediately

[ancient cove]

That is only partial true.
They are technically stronger. At least Stringtail. Pretty tanky, has no real weak spots before you destroy his armor, eats a lot of bullets and is a ranged enemy. We had nothing like that before. He doesn't do much damage, but if he pulls you into a large group of enemies, you're dead very fast.
All tanky bugs we had so far, like Praetorian or Oppressor are slow and are easy to avoid. Web Spitter do almost no damage and Acid Spitter die very fast.
And all Rockbox infected bugs are also stronger than their counterpart.

[burnt sandal]

web spitter do as much damage as a slasher

the thing is they don't attack as fast and die very quickly

[sudden mirage]

how would i know if im ready for an elite deep dive?

[ancient cove]

You're ready, if you're playing Hazard 5 missions. Elite Deep Dive's second stage is Haz 5 and 3rd stage is Hazard 5.5, hardest vanilla difficulty in the game.

[sudden mirage]

i havent even done hazard 4 ;-;

to be fair i just started a few days ago

game is fun 👍

[ancient cove]

Then I would recommend to play more first. You can try to do it solo and see how hard it is.
I just wouldn't recommend to jump in with randoms, because if you will die each 5 seconds, it won't be fun.

[novel tinsel]

Then again, throwing caution to the wind and just going for it is always a fun experience. My first experience was the dwarven equivalent to d-day trying to walk out of the drop pod on the second stage.

[sudden mirage]

i might do that but ill be demolished lol

[novel tinsel]

And that's okay, through failure we learn. With learning we adapt. With adaptation we find success.

Use all of your tools to your disposal and stay with your team. Communication is key here.

[ancient cove]

Well, Deep Dive is a commitment. It just won't be fair to other players, if they have to carry you and even worse if you play for 40min and fail the whole Dive.
And since nobody can join running Deep Dive, you can't leave, or at least it's extreme toxic, to leave a Deep Dive.

[novel tinsel]

That's why you dont leave. See the elite dive through even to a bitter end.

[ancient cove]

You can learn by playing normal Hazard 5 missions

[crystal folio]

Are the jetboots in stage 2 random or put there by devs?

I also almost died a bunch in stage 2 of the normal deep dive

[wet yoke]

Seems to be an intentional thing

[old widget]

Devs don’t craft deep dives by hand, it’s just a random seed that generates all the dives each week. But yeah, if it’s something that’s tied to the RNG seed it will be there for everyone

[ancient cove]

The seed is random, but the question is, if JetBoots are a part of the seed

[old widget]

shakes 8 ball signs point to yes

[ancient cove]

I mean, if all who are doing DD getting JetBoots on the second stage, then we know for sure

I'll do DD tomorrow

[still geode]

its possible the devs purposefully rolled seeds until they got jet boots in one

[celest ruin]

People learn quick, just throw yourself into has 5s when you get the opportunity and you’ll learn

[wraith shard]

Why are players not punished for leaving deep dives midway though

On level 3 and this cunt just leaves without reason and we fucking lose it

[old widget]

The game does dynamically scale difficulty based on player count, so when someone leaves it technically gets easier. Still sucks to lose a key role though.

[wraith shard]

Like the devs should of added a punishment and ban system in long time ago for players like that

[old widget]

Ehh. Sometimes stuff happens. It’s a casual coop game, ban/punishment doesn’t really belong IMO. Still sucks though. Using LFG channels here can often get you better results if you keep having bad luck.

[novel tinsel]

Is there an option to reconnect if you get dropped accidentally?

[old widget]

Yes, though it’s not always reliable.

[wraith shard]

This game isn't gonna be much fun until devs add a punishment system in to weed out the trolls who keep leaving midgame

[distant torrent]

Just do everything solo

Ez

[novel tinsel]

Acquire friends

Or the better one
Git gud

[crystal folio]

I hate to say it but skill issue

The game literally gets easier

Also a lot of the time they just crash (source I often crash mid match)

[coral pond]

how do you know they're not disconnecting, which is out of their control?

[sturdy field]

get friends

[copper cedar]

Just played the EDD with 3 randoms, spent about 40 mins in stage 1, of that 40 mins, there was only 1 dwarf alive for maybe 25+ mins of that period, betc spawned the twins in the middle of the chasm with 2 people downed, and through all the iron wills and insta revives, we made it through a gruelling stage 1, and went on to complete the DD.
Thats why you never leave a DD.

[copper cedar]

I've been kicked from manys a DD, worst was someone used insta res to pick me up, went down, I was last dwaft alive, and DC'd. I was raging. I'd say they all were too

[warped veldt]

this isnt even trolling honestly

by them leaving the game just gets easier, it would be far worse for them to mess with an objective to the point where it becomes super tedious to complete

like driller digging to bedrock with a bunch of aquarqs

[humble flower]

if they were trolling they would try to make the game harder

like killing teammates

sometimes people have to leave mid match or lag out

punishing those wouldn't help anyone

[crystal folio]

Agreed

It is quite literally a skill issue in this case

[iron bramble]

did my first deep dive and got deep for speed

[quasi sleet]

Nice!

[untold mica]

happened w me too on my first deep dive

[bleak plume]

Me and my 2 friends who play together did our first elite deep dive together today and completed it on our first try which felt good

[bleak charm]

awesome

I just lost the second level of the edd because of my team

the scout was really really bad and the gunner literally messed up the last part of the mission killing everyone with friendly fire

[thorn jewel]

This is genius

[scenic jetty]

i had the greatest dd n edd. both done really well and ended session with all of us passing out with blackout stout

[spiral badge]

You guys made it home, so you must have rock and stoned

[proud zealot]

made it to the last stage of EDD with dotty on the last phase of the heartstone and then a bulk and literally half of the bugs in hoxes spawned in

and we didnt have a gunner

[sudden mirage]

was doing so well in a elite deep dive until my gunner killed himself and 2 other team mates leaving me alone on an uplink with 2 oppressors while im on 2 hp

[rain wharf]

Deep dive moment

[lofty crown]

why did i leave EDD this late, this is awful

u get the most selfish ppl this late :(

keep stealing my resupplies and not pulling their weight!!

[manic pivot]

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

[restive steppe]

Any tips on how to beat elite?

[lofty crown]

dont split up, fight swarms in big caves (usually means going back to spawn in this EDD

it took 3-4 tries to complete this EDD, and the main issues were that people split up, and stayed to fight swarms in the big drop on stage 1 (where all the tech is)

it's too cramped and people died, either due to shooting each other, or just being piled on LMAO

imo, stage 3 has plenty of nitra in it, so dw too much about having nitra left for stage 3

you will get some, especially if you choose to pre-drill

honestly, if you happen to play scout and CAN play someone else, i recommend it

im a scout main w/ a side of engi, and i found it harder to have scout on the team, than just running double engi

(this is just for this current EDD, go wild on others)

[lofty crown]

forgot to @ u!
the General tips imo are to stick together within reason, fight planned swarms in big caves, and to be careful with your ammo

[narrow compass]

Yeah going back to spawn is a very good strategy for the first stage

Also careful of cave leeches on the second stage in the big room

[lofty crown]

mhm, there's a couple!

[tiny portal]

I saw on some comment that cold and heat only work in increments of 5, is that still the case? The post was over a year old

Should be quite important for cryo cannon builds, which is why Im asking

[tiny portal]

I also cannot find it anywhere

[marble marten]

Im eating maggots

[copper ibex]

dude why is there a GIGASWARM when trying to recharge the fuel cells second stage elite

[tiny portal]

Found it, they mean that most enemies freeze at multiple of 5, but that dont really matter

[wheat sphinx]

Need people for EDD ps4, anyone interested?

[spiral badge]

#lfg-playstation

[wheat sphinx]

No one’s replying

[spiral badge]

🤷🏻‍♂️

[wheat sphinx]

So I ask everywhere

[spiral badge]

Find randos in game?

[lofty crown]

yea, just find randos! theyre not always a pain LMAO

[still geode]

if you want good deep dive teams i recommend trying to find one on the first day of the week

[grave sage]

ok ive never done a deep dive before anyone willing to walk me through one

[high storm]

I was wathing a recording of my 1st EDD attempt
I had a level 800+ who somehow didnt hear me saying detonator. the detonator itself nor see it all at untill it had gotten right next to us while I was looking the other way shooting a menace

[maiden bluff]

Screw this week’s deep dive

I hate the radiation poopoo hellzone

watch this week’s be exclusion zone or hollow bough or magma core

[high storm]

is the EDD supposed to have like 6 detonators?

[karmic zenith]

idk why pugging this week's EDD feels impossible, nothing about it seems like it should be hard

its just cursed

i just had the 2nd mission just suddenly end when the countdown to droppod being ready timer ended and failed

i iron willed to run into the pod and as soon as the door was supposed to open the mission just ended with me standing on the ramp

i wasnt even in the zombie state of iron will i vampire power attacked a grunt to make sure that couldnt be a thing

[devout peak]

It's a bad one....

[onyx egret]

genuine question. i'm trying to join an EDD and the last 4 lobbies ive joined ive been banned or kicked from. i'm playing my twice promoted lvl 22 engineer, player level 28, is that too low for people to like me or something?

[runic relic]

Generally not unless its in the lobby name, unlucky streak i guess

[proper matrix]

If the EDD is nightmare inducing levels of hard, I tend to favor kicking anybody out from under player level 100 after i reach a desperation phase with completion.

I havent touched this one yet

But from the sounds of it all, this one sounds to be like anything but worth my time lmao

[onyx egret]

thats fair. thank you for the honesty

i did end up getting into a lobby that actually uh, let me play the game

it did not go well

[proper matrix]

:P

[onyx egret]

we made it past the first mission, 5 minutes into the second one everyone ran out of ammo and died

[proper matrix]

Hosts that have run the week's EDD, after failing a certain amount of times with teams, will filter out players who might struggle a little more/pull weight

[proper matrix]

Ouch

[onyx egret]

yeah. theres a severe lack of nitra in this week

[coral pond]

1 resupp first stage, man it's stressful when you're out of ammo

[olive flicker]

I reckon this week's edd is/was solo-able, kinda sad I didn't attempt it more than once.

With a bit of luck and plenty of patience.

[tribal sand]

Elite Deep Dive | RMS Hoxxes | Glacial Strata
Low Oxygen + Haunted Cave

[radiant rampart]

Oh that sounds lovely..

[olive flicker]

I thought it isn't out for a few hours.

[tribal sand]

It's not, it was a play on the current missing Titanic Submarine

[vague mountain]

Stage 2 of soloing the EDD got me down to 0 revives, but somehow I scraped by via platform house in the defense sequence.
I had a stingtail fucking yank me into a bulk detonator before I even left the spawn room.
Stage 3, ANOTHER bulk spawned, and it was WHEN DORETTA WAS DOWN TO HER LAST HEALTHBAR.

But it was TOO FUCKING LATE and she cracked the heartstone before it could kill her.

I actually managed to beat the EDD by the skin of my goddamn teeth

this one was kind of insane even though stage 3 has no modifiers for some reason. didnt even know that could happen

steeve helped keep a lot of the pressure off of me

but the last healthbar of the ommoran was incredibly tense. sentries kept running out, the lures weren't enough, and then the bulk on top of all that

[white wigeon]

yay got my first "rare" achievement for completing an elite dive

[tribal sand]

Congratulations! Here's to many-a-more expeditions for Management 🙂

Thank god

It’s not REZ or magma core

[static lichen]

5/6 objectives are about collecting

looks boring

[young yew]

Azure sometimes has the worst cave layouts and pitch black caverns

[blissful elk]

Wow management really needs eggs and morkite this week

[waxen terrace]

management must mork tonight

[ebon anchor]

Seems alright

[remote cypress]

and the normal Deep Dive done! within 30 mins!

The cave layouts were pretty good!

[sick kettle]

45 minutes

pain

should've went driller instead of scout

The second stage really does not seem to like flying scouts

there's an area that is completely blockd off with coral structures

and there's pillars everywhere

in short, i did not enjoy that

[barren citrus]

Question, what's a good scout loadout to bring to this weekly edd if I wanted to bring my scout?

[next glade]

load size: big oof

[dusky mauve]

Hipster and special powder with cryo

[runic relic]

Also its dark morkite time again

[granite stirrup]

hi guys, i'm looking for a team to finish the elite deepdive, it's not like i've failed it more than 10 times already

[turbid dawn]

ill be playing in an hour post my dinner

[mellow cradle]

judging from the objectives and mutators: anything you want really
but I haven't seen the terrain yet

[agile venture]

Had my first bad edd experience yesterday

[eager flame]

i forgor about the deep dives 💀

[agile venture]

Team was one scout, gunner, and two engies

Towards stage 2 people started flaming each other in chat. When I said that this edd was hard, one said "It's because the last guy joined in as a second engie."

Earlier when I mentioned that I didn't build my load out correctly, another one said "That's why there's 4 classes, stupid."

Well, no one told me to switch in the lobby, so I thought it would be ok

[barren citrus]

Was considering my "default" GK2 with AISE + boltshark with bodkin points, but wasn't sure if that'd be worth bringing due to ammo

Hipster would likely be a very solid choice in terms of ammo efficiency

[onyx dirge]

On one hand having all classes filled is usually a good idea, but it is up to the host to let you know (or change the settings to force this). Driller is in my opinion not a really important class that you must have

[zenith ember]

Holy morkite

[mellow cradle]

eh, if you want to have good ammo efficiency at killing grunts, then a normal m1k is probably better than hipster

since you just take blowthrough and armor break and you are all set

meanwhile with hipster, you have to tak both damage and weapoint damage bonus to be able to one shot grunts to the face

[solemn hollow]

my bread and butter m1k build is 1-1-1-1-2 with hoverclock

[mellow cradle]

meaning you can't take blowthrough

[eager flame]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

WHAT HAPPENED 😭

[mellow cradle]

so hipster might not be as ammo efficient as you might think, since it usually requires one extra shot

[eager flame]

I edited the pinned message, and discord just thanos snapped it 😭

[barren citrus]

Honestly could just do the default loadout I've mentioned, especially if my job as the scout is just to find the morkite on this one

[onyx dirge]

Scout is usually not the first to run out of ammo anyways

[mellow cradle]

I can still see it

[eager flame]

wait what

[solemn hollow]

if you can hit weakspots reliably then the fear bonus on m1k works wonders for just, giving yourself time to mine

[eager flame]

Restarted discord and it is there now, weird

[solemn hollow]

but i also use boltshark with phermone special bolts and pheromone canisters so i'm just not killing the bugs when i play scout

[tall meadow]

finally lvl 55 on season pass

I can rest

lootbug shake will be mine soon

[barren citrus]

Was actually considering pheremone grenades, especially for something like the stage 2 shield disruption

Why worry about the bugs trying to kill you while you have no shields, when you can simply make them fight each other

Tho the boomerang just feels too good to pass up on that 8.5 second stun, especially in situations with swarms

[brisk spear]

Pheromones are like twenty times better than boomerangs tbh

[mellow cradle]

if you want a panic "get off me" button, then yeah, pheromones or cryo are better

[barren citrus]

Guess I can use pheremones then

If I wanted cryo I'd just use my cryo build driller

[outer bloom]

It’s a great week for pheromones and mass-pulling eggs

[urban pagoda]

Got DD done in 20, EDD done in 30 minutes

Feels good man

No long unneccessary waits

[fossil sparrow]

guys is dd same as on previous week?

[violet raptor]

No

[mellow cradle]

that doesn't happen

[jovial garden]

Must've joined a previous DD before reset because I joined the same thing as well.

[next glade]

same

[fossil sparrow]

hmm maybe but is it possible?

[jovial garden]

Yes, also still got the rewards.

[granite stirrup]

anyone for the elite deepdive ?

oh they've changed i didn't notice

so anyone for deepdive in general ?

[turbid dawn]

go to #lfg-steam etc

[barren citrus]

Sweeped the dd but almost got close to completing the edd

[mellow cradle]

what seemed to be the problem?

[barren citrus]

I didn't even have time to check where the drop pod was landing during the last egg swarm & got lost thus dying as a result lol

Haz 5 & higher just has me with my palms sweating

[mellow cradle]

were you alone?

[barren citrus]

Yeah

[mellow cradle]

you could've also killed the swarm before pushing the button

[barren citrus]

Eh it is what it is

[mellow cradle]

ah, I see, so you were playing solo scout

[barren citrus]

No I was forced to play driller cause someone else entered the lobby as scout

[mellow cradle]

and left?

[barren citrus]

Nope they stayed & didn't change class

[mellow cradle]

so you were playing in a duet?

[barren citrus]

I did mention that I switched to playing driller

For the edd

[mellow cradle]

yeah you did, but when I asked if you were alone, you answered "yes", so I'm a bit confused

[hallow saddle]

boys, how bad is EDD this week

[barren citrus]

I was by myself in the corridor that I inevitably died in

[mellow cradle]

ah

[barren citrus]

Now if I actually was playing scout I might not have had that issue

Because grappling hook + pheremones

[barren citrus]

Oh well at least I got my matrix cores for more weapon oc's

[sharp tundra]

Bruh both the deep dive and deep dive elite are so easy this week

Rlly short objectives and easy warnings

[next glade]

sabotage in magma core with shield disruption next week 🙏

[sharp tundra]

Oh god

Wasn’t even any bulks, dreadnoughts, or salvage

And haunted cave on point extraction is laughable

[old widget]

We got a random hiveguard dread on stage 2 of DD

Was fun jet booting above it

[sharp tundra]

Damn

[old widget]

Killed any hope of a fast run tho because we wanted to kill it

[sharp tundra]

Oh there was also an abundance of nitra this time

[spiral badge]

Haunted cave booooo

[lament coral]

Holy shit so many eggs this week

[tawdry spindle]

Egg gaming

Tho last edd stage not having any mutators is pretty lucky

whoops

wrong char

[sharp sparrow]

Oh I just unlocked Disc Jokey

Cool

Welp makes 83% lmao

[rugged pebble]

I finished the elite dives in just over 1 hour of playtime

The elite one was especially easy

All the resources were right there in 1 room

[sharp tundra]

Yep

[lofty crown]

32 mins is probably my new record for EDD, and i wasnt even trying to speedrun LMAO

compared to this last week, i feel like i accidentally went into normal DD

[sharp tundra]

Srsly tho

[spiral badge]

So EDD is more doable in solo this week?

[sharp tundra]

Easily

I’m considering doing it solo myself

It’s all speed missions

[frank jay]

Does anyone know the collections of each level of the standard deep dive?

[sharp tundra]

Besides a secondary black box objective

[sharp tundra]

?

[frank jay]

Like morkite and ebnuts

[spiral badge]

Any recommended class?

[sharp tundra]

Scout or driller with epc

[tired flax]

What EDD is this week?

[coral pond]

pinned

[tired flax]

thank you

[dense pebble]

easiest DD I've been in yet

haunted cave is my least favorite mutator, but in PE its a non-issue lol

[tranquil sentinel]

EDD Stage 3 is 6 eggs

[eager flame]

Saw It now, thank you

[pliant yoke]

I just cleared the EDD with a pick-up group and we absolutely smashed it in 30 minutes or so.

No difficulty bumps - it was straightforward and nice, if a bit boring all throughout (many eggs and morkite objectives).

[copper ibex]

just finished the edd solo ama

[sudden mirage]

whats 3 + 3

[visual heath]

Didnt know where to put this, but I thought it was very fascinating that the glyphid sting tail is the only glyphid with visible eyes if not any at all

[eternal sigil]

how did you do the second stage, i keep folding and dying
(i main driller)

[copper ibex]

7

[copper ibex]

i did driller and was using the cryo cannon with all the freeze buffs to keep swarms off me

[sudden mirage]

fuck, hes good

[coral pond]

Septic spreader has them too if you look closely

[visual heath]

Immersion shattered

[warped veldt]

menace has eyes and you can even shoot them out

[thick epoch]

The two things on its side are eyes?

[coral pond]

those are definitely not eyes lmao

[visual heath]

Those are spore sacks

Or acid sacks
Or something

Check the beastiary

[spiral badge]

goo sacks

[urban seal]

defo not a fan of litho season

corruption can goooo

[tawny terrace]

season 5: Orkz

[tacit jungle]

There is goo in the sack!

[proud zealot]

just got a sub 30 EDD

its pretty easy this week

lots of stingtails tho

[tawny terrace]

Roll with the stingtails

Played correctly they’re a free grapple towards/over the horde but on any class

Spreaders however

Spreaders can go fuck themselves

Glyphids done ate my sludge pump

Can’t have shit on hoxxes

[supple sparrow]

Wrong, more pox

[rustic aspen]

I haven’t gotten deep dives yet, anyone care to explain just how deep it is?

[spiral badge]

The deepest of dives

[tawny terrace]

Seriously tho, I wonder if it’d be possible to make a drg spinoff/game mode that’s like a multiplayer vs thing kinda like what Bloons did.

Not fighting each other directly, as that’d kinda ruin the whole lack of toxicity drug’s known for

But, like bloons, probably an endless deep dive with two teams running the same seed, with you being able to use mined gold to buy bugs to sic on the enemy team.

And maybe an alternate camera mode on the terrain scanner so you can “spy” on your enemy so see what’s going on and send bugs accordingly. Ex. buy a bulk when the enemy team decides to bunker.

Inspired by joining a modded lobby of some streamer who rigged his chat to spawn buggies with donated bits

Fun as all hell

and modifiers could affect things too, like the increased spawn modifiers (swarmageddon, mactera plague, etc) could give you a discount on those types of enemies

[unique ore]

well we are getting a vampire survivors clone later

[proud zealot]

3 missions in a row where ammo, hp, and nitra is carried over

the secondary mission is replaced with half of a primary

dificulty increases as you go down

[woeful niche]

spreaders wud be scary if they weren’t currently bugged to be passive creatures

[coral pond]

honestly even without that bug, they're not that scary

[woeful niche]

no without the bug they were very high priority targets. Not only do they have similiar dmg to spitters and have a lingering area denial,but the fact they didn’t need line of sight to shoot you meant you had to actively look for where it was coming from if it was shooting from above

[coral pond]

yeah, and with a good scout they only get 1 to 2 shots off before getting obliterated

not to mention being very easy to see once you do get los

[unique ore]

they were real tough before the nerf, they wiped me doing a defense point objective

[proud zealot]

spreaders are high priority, right behind tri jaws

[unique ore]

I even put them above tri jaw, their weakpoint is so easy to hit, they got huge weakness bonus to like every element, and the movement to dodge them is super predictable too

[lime vigil]

First Haunted Cave and it was in a Deep Dive

Got lucky - it was peaceful,

[proud zealot]

normal DD are pretty easy overall

[woeful niche]

this exact argument applies to acid spitters. It’s insane damage is balanced by its hp

[coral pond]

yes but unlike acid spitters, spreaders are much easier to see

either way just don't get hit :)

[proud zealot]

yea

both of the new enemies are huge pains on salvage ops tho

[coral pond]

eh, never had too many issues even in pubs. Solo i could understand them being a huge threat, but solo is 🛌

[zenith ember]

Probably one of the easiest edd/dd set in a while

[proud zealot]

yea this weeks EDD was very fast

[zealous kelp]

i should dip my balls in liquid morkite

[simple grove]

[untold saddle]

Saying this can get you muted

[kind mist]

The morkite is coming inside of me!

[kind mist]

Dip them in salsa

[wraith shard]

Normal DD pretty easy

[formal heath]

insanely fast, 24m DD 31m EDD

[ancient cove]

Always has been

[wraith shard]

I mean this one felt extra easy

[wraith shard]

Is the EDD easy this week too?

[mellow cradle]

yeah

I did it sub 45 min without trying

the main objectives are eggs, morkite, and eggs, so it's pretty friendly

[formal heath]

super easy

[formal heath]

you only have shield disrupt in the 2nd one and thats it

[formal heath]

^

[wraith shard]

It'll be a nice break because the last couple I've struggled with

[bronze coral]

Duo’d them both within 45~ min

[white wigeon]

are dive rewards once a week per account or per character?

[muted arch]

per account

[exotic belfry]

per account

[white wigeon]

oki cool

[patent elk]

I guess this week is a break week with DD/EDD huh

[eager flame]

<@&296918282403840000>

30mins later

damn

[frozen epoch]

can anyone tell me for what the Error cube is for?

[exotic belfry]

Literally nothing lol

[frozen epoch]

and who is the enemy Company thats makin those turrets, Robots and Illuminati Triangles?

/what are they?

[frozen epoch]

did the Devs gave a reason why its in?

[exotic belfry]

we have no idea, some have theories but nothing has been confirmed or hinted to.

Also these question are better suited for #drg-chat

[exotic belfry]

Cause funny, they have also said they will never ever have a use

[frozen epoch]

then its really just a "bug" / collector item

[exotic belfry]

yes

[delicate saffron]

More than anything, this edd felt excruciatingly boring

All stages had morkite, there was a repeated primary objective, there were no nitra concerns whatsoever as usual, the last stage once again had no mutators at all...

I'd really like it if deep dives were limited in how often they could repeat objectives

[olive flicker]

But then they'd be less random.

[tiny portal]

True

[warped veldt]

i liked the edd this week

[cobalt torrent]

iirc Spotify made it so playlists would be less random by having songs by the same artist appear twice or three times in a row less often to help it 'feel' more random. It might help to make them feel more unique each time

[olive flicker]

I heard this story except it was Apple's music player.

Either way I don't think it applies here.

[spiral badge]

Gotta love algorithms to make things feel more random

[muted arch]

I thought Spotify was the one that wasn't truely random, and every time you hit Shuffle it would be the same order

[cobalt torrent]

Might be, tbh I forget which app cause I just use youtube

[zenith ember]

<@&296918282403840000>

[muted arch]

it's sad that these accounts are years old, and have been in the server for at least a year, cause it means they were hacked, and didn't just join to post this

[mellow cradle]

this guy above even joined 5 years ago

[wraith shard]

@wanton bane my best friend, make skins of roman legionnaires. Sounds good: Roman legionnaire dwarf, space miner with beer

[proud zealot]

Yea the most exciting point was the shield disruption

But even then all it does it make things more dangerous

[muted sedge]

double bulked on edd last

😔

we made it tho

[royal karma]

[sharp sparrow]

The normal DD felt harder tbh solely for Haunted Cave

Shield Disruption would've been fun on EDD Stage 3 but alas, guess it's a good EDD for the newer folks

[quasi sleet]

last week's EDD was one of the hardest and this week's EDD was one of the easiest

[sharp tundra]

Haunted cave wasn’t even that bad since point extraction

Rlly the edd felt like haz 3.5

I was also getting very few enemy spawns

[quaint citrus]

what missions in this edd?

[coral pond]

pinned

not that bad of an edd. got a little rough with double egg swarm on stage 3, but pretty good and easy. maybe MPA wasn't the best choice but it got the job done. Also god bless vampire for letting me clutch stage 2

[sharp tundra]

What was causing u problems? The enemy spawns were pretty easy. As well as the objectives

[coral pond]

tight areas, lots of bugs pretty much. It definitely was nowhere near as difficult as previous ones, just had a little unlucky spawns

[neat pewter]

So I'm kinda confused on something: I just did the EDD deathless for my first time ever, but for whatever reason the game still logged 2 downs that I never had. Do you guys have any idea what could have caused this?

[neat forum]

did you use Iron Will by any chance? it counts as death

[mellow cradle]

I experienced something like that as well when I was playing as a client

the game decided to add to my death count

idk what caused that

[neat pewter]

nope, no downs at all

[cursive stag]

If you do the thing where you jump out of a drop pod before the doors close that counts as a death

I think

[dense sage]

You live on the end screen but you don’t get the survival bonus for whoever left

[magic tapir]

that is correct if you check bottom left on the stats screen after a run the survival bonus will go down so if someone jumps and had a team of 4 it'll say 3

[hollow blaze]

so me and the boys just did a data extaction misson with no shields and we decided to make a bunch of trenchs to protect from the boss and it worked somehow

[ember trellis]

i did last weeks dd solo and ended up having 9 resupplies at the final room

[dense vessel]

Anyone on PlayStation here tryna do a deep dive

[ember trellis]

im on xbox sorry m8

[ember trellis]

it might be because of going to a new stage that it counts a down, plausible but might be what happened

[fiery imp]

question: is it possible to get black box + haunted cave?

like on the same map

[ember trellis]

wait...

[neat pewter]

I suppose that makes sense

[ember trellis]

if you were to get it, theoretically, wouldn't you just lead the invinc bulk far, far away in a new galaxy?

[fiery imp]

yeah but in the end it'd probably reach you before the end of the uplink anyway, and that might not even be possible for some maps

[ember trellis]

digs 900m hole vertically

[fiery imp]

i think the horror can also dig to you if it thinks it cant get to you

[fiery imp]

true actually just play driller

or smth

[ember trellis]

yeah but then you would reach the granite and bedrock

[fiery imp]

yeah

i think also it would take such a long painstaking amount of time to do it

in solo idk if it would even be remotely viable

and above solo you could just get the person with aggro to run away and switch whenever the aggro switches

[ember trellis]

haunted cave with salvage also

is it possible to roll it?

[fiery imp]

salvage cant get haunted cave

[ember trellis]

yeah didn't think so

[fiery imp]

pretty sure

thats why i was asking if black box could

cuz its basically the same reason as to why salvage cant have haunted

[ember trellis]

what next worse thing would be: edd stage 3, 8 eggs, morkite and haunted cave mutator

somewhat easy to counter if scout has aggro

[fiery imp]

edd stage 3 on magma core, 8 eggs, 1 dreadnought haunted cave

might be worse

[ember trellis]

🫡

[ember trellis]

and rival presence with it

[fiery imp]

can you have 2 warning mutators on a single deep dive stage?

[ember trellis]

yeah

[fiery imp]

o

in that case, edd stage 3 on magma core, 8 eggs, 1 dreadnought, haunted cave, and low oxygen

[ember trellis]

oh it might be 1 mutator 1 anomoly

[fiery imp]

yeah i thought you cant

lemme check

yeah max 1 per stage

normal deep dive will have total 2 warnings with 1 max per stage
elite deep dive can have either 2 or 3 warnings with 1 max per stage

volatile guts is pretty bad cuz its kind of like exploder infestation

i think

[ember trellis]

yeah pretty much

[fiery imp]

even tho volatile guts is an anomaly

[ember trellis]

except everything is exploder

[fiery imp]

yea

[ember trellis]

imagine doing that stage 3 edd with magma core

[coral pond]

the range and damage is much lower however

[fiery imp]

i dont understand rly why volatile guts isnta warning
like sure you have the chain explosions but usually theres at least a couple enemies close enough to damage you in a swarm

[coral pond]

and it nerfs exploders

[fiery imp]

ah ok

makes sense then

[ember trellis]

but buffs everything else (except robots i think)

[sharp tundra]

Doesn’t it prevent praetorians from oozing

[spiral badge]

phew made it through haunted cave solo

[narrow marsh]

Good job!

[olive flicker]

This haunted cave was easier than usual. Nice open caves.

[ashen veldt]

How's the EDD? Easy-ish?

[onyx dirge]

It's alright. No dreads is quite nice. We got a bulk detonator with the first wave near the beginning cave though at stage 3

Sting tails are a pain though, especially if they try dragging you to the detonator

[spiral badge]

I just kept getting opps. 2 at least on stage 2, maybe on 1 too

[ancient cove]

Spoiler: Both DD and EDD have ||Jet Boots in one of the stages || 🥳

[keen crag]

Just promoted my first dwarf and about to launch my first deep dive. Any word of Advise?

[nova maple]

Try to find a balanced team of 4 different dwarves and know that perk charges like iron will etc will refresh each stage

[young yew]

It's enough if one guy makes it to the pod at the end of each round

Also, take Field Medic and Resupplier

[keen crag]

Iron will saved that deep dive for me because of that fact

[young yew]

Neat

[dense sage]

somehow on my first edd of the week nobody else brought IW
second run went way smoother
got me hipster from one of the blank cores finally

todays EDD is really fast

[green quiver]

@ancient cove
THANKS. ^^
Oooh ! 🤩 I would like to have all the images of the different beers !
Is there a way ?
DRG's Twitter posted them all as they went along ?

Sorry for these questions and the inconvenience xD I admit that I'm very curious for once ! ^^

[olive flicker]

This week's EDD is easy indeed.

[unkempt anchor]

Very easy dives this week

[oak pecan]

If I get drunk before a deep dive, does the drunk effect last for every stage of the dive?

[mellow cradle]

it wears off with time

but I believe you can do a glitch with blackout stout where it will last indefinitely

I don't know how to do it, but others may

[glad gorge]

why is this game so good

[inner blaze]

Completly new to the game, any good tips for beggining as a gunner

[tiny portal]

Shoot the bugs

Have fun

Use your shields generously

Yea thats all I got

[spiral badge]

This channel isn’t really for new tips

[tiny portal]

Oh and make sure to blow up the scout at least once with your sticky nades

[inner blaze]

I tought that is the drillers job

[tiny portal]

It is everyones job

[inner blaze]

I know but I wasnt able to find appropriate one

[spiral badge]

We all do war crimes on the scout

[inner blaze]

Yessir🫡

[tiny portal]

Driller uses c4, gunner uses any genade since they all do ridiculous team damage, engi uses fat boy oc pgl.

There, the perfect guide for crimes on scouts, now make sure they dont have m1000 or you might (deservingly) get 1 tapped in the head for it

[inner blaze]

Will do. Now just need to achive 2nd level, so I dont have to offer that knife ear tree hugger diarrhea looking ahh substance to fellow miners

[brave totem]

WE NEED A MELEE MINER

[tiny portal]

Driller has 3 melee weapons, he is the melee miner

[half zenith]

Hey I cant join any pods. It locked. Help plz

It says DRG not detected

[proud zealot]

Cryo driller is the best you will get to true melee

And the most value you will get from vampire

[muted arch]

on a scale of 1-10 how hard is it to solo a regular deep dive

[deep vector]

it's not that bad, i've done a few and i'm only lvl 40

haunted one might be tricky if you haven't done one of those missions before

[glad gorge]

like 5 imo

Not hard

Maybe even less

Just takes a bit longer and u cant rush things

[muted arch]

interesting, I might give it a try, I have super spotty internet so it's kinda solo or bust

[glad gorge]

Its not hard

Depending also on class ofc

I think it might be easier with some and harder with others but its doable with all to an average player id say

Regular deep dive that is

[pliant seal]

Was the elite deep dive this week just really easy? i 2 maned it no downs and it was just kinda disapointing imo

[spiral badge]

I do it every week and I’m a fairly bad player

I even did this weeks last night which has a haunted cave
