you cannot join a random deep dive that’s already underway
only *exception is if they were there to begin with, disconnected due to some network issue, then join back
anyway, good luck
lusty ice
Yea, a teammate dipped but we managed and we were surprised to see we kept our ammo and nitra etc haha
It was fun
spiral badge
You keep everything you’ve earned on previous stages, so picking up nitra early can help in later stages when there could be a shortage
rose yacht
basically sludge disperser is really good in edd since most bugs are disgustingly fast
just having it around lets your team kite while eliminating swarmers.

Scout has a lot of tricks to manage even without an engi to provide plats
First and foremost being able to stand on nitra veins and certain minerals
And failing that, power attacking the space above a spit of interest to make a little hollow to stand in and rest
Plus, as already mentioned, if you’re jumping from a high place, grappling to the ground negates fall damage as long as you hold to the end
olive flicker
Also the fall damage mod on grapple negates so much fall damage it will rarely kill you.
You'll get hurt a bit sure.
That plus his armour has it too I think?
wraith shard
I think its 33% less fall damage

dire flax
any point in minning nitra or morkite just before entering drop pod?
dense sage
minor exp gains due to total minerals mined, even if you don’t deposit it

mining nitra is useful for deep dives though, as it carries through stages

Is there a consensus easy class to learn solo edd on
olive flicker
Gunner imo. You have shield to give yourself breathing room, great swarm clear, straightforward single target.
still pulsar
Engineer for me, especially with a nuke to easily clear out big waves
mellow tapir
I can see both of those
still pulsar
Plus turrets provide good cover fire, and you have good enough mobility with platforms
mellow cradle
but engi doesn't have good self defence unless you bring breach cutter
thick sapphire
when bulk comes in during black box
still pulsar
but engi doesn't have good self defence unless you bring breach cutter
chem explosives on lok-1 provide amazing self def
mellow cradle
true, they do have fear after all
ECR is a bit slower in situations when you need to get bugs off of you than breach cutter, but it's still good
so we have 2 weapons
2 specific weapons
meanwhile gunner has shield, driller can drill into a wall, and scout can run away by grappling
all of which are always in your kit when you play these classes
so i'd say that engi requires you to be the most thoughtful about your positioning
and I wouldn't reccomend him as the easiest option
still pulsar
He has pretty good survivability even with no oc's on breach cutter and smg or lok-1 imho
mellow cradle
with breach cutter and/or ecr yeah
rose yacht
but engi doesn't have good self defence unless you bring breach cutter
you seriously under estimate the power of electric discharge mwahahaha

- After you get disconnected/crashed, go to the DD/EDD Terminal and find the lobby you were in before (it will be grayed out)
- Mouse Right-Click on the lobby to open the Steam Profile of the Host.
- If Host's profile isn't private/invisible etc. there should be a green "Join" button
- Use the Join button to rejoin the lobby.
If host's profile is private, you can try to add him as friend.
Pro Tip: Before joining a lobby for the first time, you can first right-click on it. That way, you don't have to remember which lobby you were in, and if something happens, you already have the host's Steam profile open.

yeah, with team at least you might get carried
though i'd say make sure you're at least contributing and you're not a liability

Does getting more ammo upgrade, counter the more damage? The extra bullets will do the extra damage, and the extra damage will do what the extra bullets do???
Strange...
raven carbon
Does getting more ammo upgrade, counter the more damage? The extra bullets will ...
Usually the total damage with both mods works out to be fairly similar
But in most cases it's better to take the extra damage
Because total damage doesn't account for dps
And it's better to kill enemies faster than it is to have more ammo in the long run
In the vast majority of cases you'll have enough nitra

ammo is the safest bet
and required for OCs with a huge ammo penalty ie. hyperpropellant

600 ammo for a minigun's pretty significant
mellow cradle
it consumes two ammo to shoot once

all in all, the ammo upgrade give you like 100 more damage total, which isn't that much of a difference, but dmg allows you to kill things 20% faster, which is valuable

anyone know where the bulkie in EDD stage 2 actually spawns?
viral dock
as far as i can tell it has a chance to spawn during a swarm
lament lantern
in normal missions they spawn at the start iirc?
viral dock
if its a Crassus Detonator yes otherwise no i dont think they do
lament lantern
oh is it only the crassus?
hmm
i gotta find a way to force it to spawn then i think, i don't want a repeat of last attempt
viral dock
i say just grab eggs first if it doesnt spawn then you should be fine for the black box
lament lantern
last time i grabbed all eggs then it spawned whilst i was doing black box
viral dock
oof
lament lantern
...given i'm solo, that was HORRIBLE
viral dock
funny thing is that the third stage is worse
i haven't been able to complete it with four people
let alone as a solo
lament lantern
it doesn't look too bad? other than the lethal enemies ofc
viral dock
stingtails and the big roly poly dudes
lament lantern
shellbacks? They're no bother for me
stingtails have killed me with fall damage multitudes more than any other way they've caused issues lol
viral dock
less of them by themselves and more the fact they bring you closer or push you back into lethal enemies
but thats just my opinion
lament lantern
would it be a bad idea to just.. sit here until the next swarm as i reckon that's what'll have the bulkie?
lament lantern
when i need to be by the box?
lament lantern
i tried that last time lol
i had no issues killing him, but the crater he left was a fucking pain to work around
WAIT I THINK I HEAR IT
viral dock
good luck
lament lantern
nope. it was just 3 praetorians and an opressor
viral dock
maybe you'll get lucky and get 2 bulks like i did a few attempts ago
lament lantern
i wouldn't even mind that as long as it's not during the black box
and uhh
i finished the black box with no sign of a bulkie
woeful niche
shellbacks can be insanely dangerous as long as they don’t fall down a hole. But even then sometimes they can destroy you with their spit from an angle you can’t even see them from
mellow cradle
when i need to be by the box?
pro tip: failing the black box doesn't end the dive
if a bulk spawns and you can't take care of it, you can just run, fail the black box, and try again
lament lantern
WAIT WHAT
my entire life i've been under the impression failing the black box failed the mission
woeful niche
The black box primary objective in regular salvage missions will fail the mission. The black box SECONDARY objective found exclusively in deep dives will not fail the mission
viral dock
just finished the EDD with two other dudes

yes, but be careful to not get one tapped

that makes for down 2 across the whole dive

Does the Sludge Pump have an OC that lights things on fire?
You can set the sludge on fire though different sources
Say, by shooting the sludge with EPC, with T5A mod equipped
dense vessel
You can set the sludge on fire though different sources
Ohhhh, i was using sticky flames so ig that’s what happened. Cool!
pliant yoke
That way:
- Ignited sludge becomes an environmental heat source, so whatever is walking through it, will have their internal cooling halted and will not be able to cool from the accumulating heat
- the puddles will inflict fire and heat damage to targets in it, on top of the usual lingering corrosion effect (with proc rate of 0.5-1.0s)
It can be hard to set up alone (EPC with BN is the only way, I think), but all in all it plays well into using CSP as an area denial weapon for the bugs, or at least some of them (common swarm suspects)

Anything up to and including 4 is fine, but from 4 to 5 there's a jump in difficulty. Faster crawlies, more spawns.

does heat deal damage to friendlies ? how does it work ?
coral pond
Rj reduces the damage dealt a lot anyways, so friendly fire wjth it really isn't an issue. You'll notice it yourself when you go to jump as well, you'll take like 1 tick of damage from the fire and that's it. It's like taking a small step on hot rocks
That's also a big reason to take the incendiary, rj reducing damage means it doesn't kill that well. So the damage from the explosion + the heat and subsequent ignition lets them burn to death. If you take stun with it, they kinda just sit there and die
tough skiff
yeah ignition also reduces the area damage so leses friendly fire

Hey there Deep Dive folks, on average how long does a deep dive usually take?
also, can people who do not have a character promoted accompany someone who does on a deep dive?
full saddle
if it's your first deep dive ever and you're doing it with newer players, you should probably allocate 40~ minutes to it, although it does depend on the week's missions a lot
this weeks normal deep dive is quite long and the elite is short
and no, a non promoted class cannot join a deep dive

When it comes to the Gunner, what Primary is the best for DPS potential? The Autocannon or the Rocket pad Launcher (the gun that can shoot out rockets)

Not sure which between lead storm and hurricane it is, I only have a couple of the hurricane OCs sadly.
Lead storm w/ lead storm oc is up there.

theres nothing better than lsls for sustained damage you never have to stop shooting and its very high dps

Haz4 can get pretty tough in a lot of situations, crap loadouts will definitely have a hard time.
If nothing you will run out of ammo on those loadouts.

i disagree, good kiting skills will get you very far on haz 4. Iv done tons of modless haz 4 and 5 runs and 4 really does not necessitate good gear

And what would constitute a ‘crap loadout’?
iv done full ammo cfm and microfletchetes with full ammo on edds before. And while it was difficult, i don’t think it wud be that challenging on haz 4 considering how long i can stay alive without any ammo on 4

woeful niche
running out of ammo (bad efficiency) does not kill new players nearly as much as just getting caught by an enemy while they have ammo from my experience
still geode
^
i find that when people do die to a lack of ammo, it's just due to them not taking a resupply
they'll be at 60% ammo and refuse to resupply because it's a waste, then run out mid-swarm without having an opportunity to resupply during combat
woeful niche
honestly so true. Especially on edds, ppl will die from being stingy when we have like 300 nitra in the bank
still geode
or they run out of something like grenades or shields and die due to that because they didn't want to resupply while still having ammo in their secondary
it feels like there's such a big stigma around wasting resupplies, using resupplies to heal, and taking more resupplies than what was 'your share' that people are afraid to actually call in and take a resupply even when they need it
overall i find that mission loss due to people refusing to take a resupply even when it would be a good idea accounts for >10x as many mission losses as completely running out of nitra
olive flicker
Maybe the missions with no nitra are just stuck in my head.
still geode
when people do die due to a lack of nitra, it's almost always due to them either missing nitra veins, or playing too slowly and getting attrition'ed down due to fighting 2-3 extra swarms while staying in the same position
the times where i've experienced it happening because people were wasteful with ammo usage were exceptionally rare
olive flicker
But typically where I find ammo efficiency to be a problem is with added optional objectives and the swarms that accompany them.
still geode
staying alive is also a very big ammo save in a lot of cases
olive flicker
I do agree that good movement is a big part of playing well and it helps a ton.
still geode
if you're dead you're unable to contribute towards progressing the mission and that means it's going to take longer which means more bugs are going to spawn
and if people are dying a lot you usually end up with gunners burning up shields very fast repeatedly reviving them
olive flicker
But atleast my gameplay would be a lot more inconsistent if I ran literally whatever (or modless) and just tried to play normally.
It would ofcourse be a lot easier if primary objective was the only thing I was trying to accomplish.
Plus personally I like to have some leeway to cover for a bad team mate.

I tried the current deep dive (first timer) with two of my friends and we just got absolutely swarmed by praetorians and oppressors on the second mission and ended up running out of ammo because they just sponged it all up. Got through the first mission by the skin of our teeth. Any tips for some greenbeards?
full saddle
are you talking normal or elite? but generally speaking, thats an indicator that your composition is heavily lacking single target
the easiest fix is something like a scout with m1k, but lots of things work just fine for it; it's important to remember that pure grunt clearing is a job that should not be totally filled by every single member of the team
most builds have adequate grunt clear while still having decent single target but dont focus incredibly heavily on it or anything as a team and you should have a lot less issues with big boys

Fairly elementary question but are you making sure to aim at weakspots?
If you keep hitting armour it's going to absorb a lot of hits

Power attacking oppressors does a ton of damage btw, great for efficiency.

Yes but kind of risky if they're saying they're greenbeards

No time like the present to start learning

Well does the flamethrower hit weak spots as well? I'm not sure where my buddies were aiming if I'm honest
ancient cove
3h left until next Deep Dive rotation.
If someone in Europe needs help to finish, let me know
full saddle
no, it doesnt, and flamer is not the best choice against those targets anyways
tribal yew
What driller weapon do you suggest?
raven carbon
Well does the flamethrower hit weak spots as well? I'm not sure where my buddies...
That answers the question
full saddle
uh sludge is usually the best choice but really flamer is totally fine
raven carbon
Ideally you shouldn't be running out of ammo in deep dives, there's plenty of nitra
full saddle
its just up to your friends to deal with those guys more than you
tribal yew
Ah okay thanks
raven carbon
The big glowy green butt is the weakspot
They die quite fast
Praetorians also take damage to their heads
tribal yew
And another question, is it better to rush objectives being chased by monsters or should you try to kill everything before doing the objectives? Not sure what the prevalent strategy is on higher hazard levels
raven carbon
But for oppressors hitting them anywhere except butt is a waste
tribal yew
Oo okay, thanks 🙂

If it's a swarm best to clear it
General spawns are fine can be dealt with as you go
full saddle
also be aware of swarm stacking for stuff like eggs
raven carbon
Yeah there have been a lot of egg missions in deep dives recently
Every egg will trigger fresh spawns, some of them full sized swarms
tribal yew
Oh that might be what got us actually!
I rushed the eggs as driller while the rest did the black box
And then we got swarmed by ungodly amounts of baddies
Wasn't aware the spawns stacked
raven carbon
Oh no
Black box triggers its own spawn
And each egg does too
You must have stacked everything
full saddle
yeah that will absolutely own you
tribal yew
Well that explains a lot
raven carbon
Do things in a sequence and watch out for each objective point as you go on
tribal yew
Yea guess we were rushing to make sure we didn't get unnecessary waves which would waste even more ammo
But that ended up biting us
Just like the glyhpids
full saddle
if this was the normal DD, you really shouldnt worry too much about random waves, it takes a pretty long time for a swarm to come along
going too fast is more likely to get you killed in a deep dive than going too slow due to the abundance of nitra
assuming you are picking it up as much as possible which you should since it carries over between stages
clever hornet
Any of you ever not gotten any rewards from a Dive?
balmy hollow
full saddle
yes, when dcing during the dive during a reward phase
but i only missed that specific one
clever hornet
yes, when dcing during the dive during a reward phase
When's the reward phase?
full saddle
like at the end of each mission
it says you get an oc or core or whatever, it pops up
clever hornet
Cus I disconnected after we were back on the rig and like 10-15 seconds later I left
full saddle
i think its pretty likely that caused something to go wrong, but its still weird that you didn't keep your ocs since if you die on stage 3, you still keep stage 1 and 2 reward
so when you go to the deep dive terminal, all 3 numbers on the deep dive are grayed out?
full saddle
right so it just straight up didnt save
thats very very weird
on mine, i had 1 and 3 finished but 2 was grayed, also no timestamp i believe
i think its almost definitely related to the dc
doesn't quite make sense to me why the entire thing was nulled but
clever hornet
I'm probably have to do the whole thing over, don't I? No chance for devs or anyone to something?
I fear this might even happen again
ancient cove
yep
full saddle
you should probably try to get stages 1 and 2 done at the least before the reset then, since they give you the useful rewards
stage 3 just gives you a cosmetic overclock
ancient cove
Devs can't do anything about it. It's your local save file
clever hornet
Odd, normal dive went perfectly fine
The first 2 stage screens showed I made progress, just at the end there was nothing
full saddle
oh that is really weird
ancient cove
Just do it again. EDD this week took me 30min with randoms as one crashed and one left on the first stage lol
clever hornet
Took me over an hour
little halo
yeah, just do edd again until stage 2, and abandon your mates to do their stage 3
clever hornet
I should ask the other players if they got anything
I think @wise willow was one of them
They better give me rewards this time or I'm done with EDD
ancient cove
You either do it again or who cares, rewards are random, you will get them later from another deep dive, loot box or lost pack anyway
clever hornet
I knew that dive was too easy, should have expected a catch
ancient cove
just did EDD again with randoms. Looks like it was still bit longer than 36min (fastest I have)

Managed to squeeze in an EDD run, finished solo
Got downed once stage 3 to a triple stingtail spawn.
