[thick sapphire]

i feel like the main thing that makes edd feel harder is if you pub then you're more likely to find greenbeards compared to normal haz5 missions
but beyond that also needing a more well-rounded loadout for different mission types rather than being able to specialize for one mission type, and some of the warnings are pain

[worthy dome]

tips for ppl struggling with this week's edd: don't stack the full 4 players

just had a game playing gunner with a scout on the team

leadstorm hellfire

scout was running aise cryo bolts

lv 186 and 233 respectively. by no means amazing players

[cobalt forge]

Idk how to get past second cave. Its so 💩to fight in.

[gleaming falcon]

wait till u see the two bulk detonators 😭

[worthy dome]

with 2 or 3 ziplines it becomes much better

[worthy dome]

bulks are easy enemies

[gleaming falcon]

they can be immensely frustrating if they arrive at the wrong time

mine decided that it would spawn in just after i started my fuel cell

[thick sapphire]

i feel like the most painful things on edd2 are the terrain, stingtails and spreaders, and regenerating oppressors

bulks just the cherry on top

[gleaming falcon]

the terrain is fucking dreadful

[worthy dome]

that could be a bit problematic. but if ur gunner knows what they are doing it should be fine

[gleaming falcon]

engineer moment

[worthy dome]

bulks die very quickly under my lead storm bullets

[gleaming falcon]

i was running shotgun breach two sentry engineer

bulks can be a headache when u run that

[worthy dome]

I was engie on my first try and I was running ECR

[gleaming falcon]

i see

[worthy dome]

u kinda have to. the waves are crazy

[gleaming falcon]

they were manageable with lure and breach

[worthy dome]

I'd also suggest running the shard diffractor

breach cutter doesnt work well on the goofy ahh cave generation

the first two times I completed were with a full team

both times the engie ran shard diffractor

first time the engie was myself

[gleaming falcon]

on edd2 it kinda sucks but i have shotgun and that worked excellent tbh

other than goo bombers

they were a pain in the ass

[worthy dome]

the first two times the scouts were lv2500 and lv400 respectively

the third time i was a LSLS gunner

so they have never been a problem

[gleaming falcon]

yeah, maybe if i was with a full team 🥲

[worthy dome]

its much easier with 2

[gleaming falcon]

my edd teammate was working so i just played solo

[worthy dome]

havent tried solo or with 3

but 4 player scaling is much harder than 2

[gleaming falcon]

true

[young patio]

this weeks edd is fucking brutal

stage 2

i wanted to punch my screen when a stingtail pushed me out of ironwill trying to take ammo

[thick sapphire]

stingtail = stealth iw nerf

[dreamy hedge]

Same thing happened to me just now Tf

[modest yacht]

I literally just witness that in my last game XD

[bleak jolt]

Finally ... we finished the edd. good god man.

i can sleep now

[gleaming falcon]

[cunning pond]

Doing EDD

anything fucked up I should know

[bleak jolt]

total butt clincher. i don't even have the words.

its fun though ... painful ... but fun

[cunning pond]

Lmao.
Joined a random pub game.
Levels 20-30 engi and gunner
Level 1000+ engi.

And me. Scout

[gleaming falcon]

stage 2 is horrifyingly difficult

[patent karma]

You will fail at least once stage 2. Promise, it's an acutal nightmare if you don't know what you're doing

[cunning pond]

Lmao.
Well we lost on Stage 2 with 20 seconds to pod.

Not bad for the team I was with tbh.

[full saddle]

stage 2 is a little rough

[cunning pond]

All I had to do was just grapple for a few more seconds tbh but I tried to phermone in to revive gunner.

After I went down the others didn't last long.

[short bloom]

it's really not, all you gotta do is not split up even if it's for a few meters

[full saddle]

i wouldnt know, i played it solo, i just see that stage 2 is the main problem with this edd by a mile

[versed finch]

Its the 3rd day of the week where the deep dive at?

😔

[short bloom]

about 14 hours away

[versed finch]

Damn thats unfortunate

[short bloom]

no wait, 24

[versed finch]

Damn thats unlucky

[short bloom]

cause its tomorrow plus 5 hours from now

29

[versed finch]

DAMN 😭

[short bloom]

damn, I need my beer

[median rapids]

I’ve been looking into good builds online since I’m new, but it’s hard to know what’s still accurate from multi year old threads. Are there any resources you all could point me towards

[raven carbon]

Filter videos/posts by time and see the ones made after June, that's when the new season dropped with some changes to weapons, so anything after that is up to date

[raven carbon]

It's difficult but not completely impossible. For the uplink it's good to have an engi pad up the cliff with platforms for more space and safety. Also good to have a scout who can lure away possible bulk.

[short bloom]

builds are relative here because of the balance that the game achieves, you won't find a concrete guide in this discord when it comes to guns etc because what doesn't work for someone, it 100% works for someone else

[olive flicker]

I just ask in this channel, get a bunch of suggestions, try a few variations of that and settle on something.

[karmic flame]

is incendiary with hyperprop still bugged?

[raven carbon]

Yeah pretty much, some playstyle variation can mean that certain mods work better for you than others

[olive flicker]

Yes afaik. What are you planning to use it for?

[rancid cedar]

there are def guides out there, not everything is subjective. The thing is this game is easy enough you dont really need a good build

[karmic flame]

what, hyperprop?
i just got hyperprop and i wanna try it out

[olive flicker]

Oh ok. Homebrew is bugged with incendiary and hyperprop from what I've been told, so for elims you want to run no incendiary and homebrew.

Incendiary removes homebrew effect entirely and hyperprop prevents low roll on homebrew.

Haven't tested any of this myself but that's the info I've heard.

[narrow creek]

man, the caves on DD stages 2 and 3 kinda suck

[gleaming falcon]

stage 3 is fine

[placid musk]

i run both on elim and i see no problem

just don't hyperprop until the dread's frozen completely

[olive flicker]

I've heard people say it's bugged ¯_(ツ)_/¯

You're going to deal a ton of damage with hyperprop anyways.

There is enough variance for it to not be obvious unless tested.

[placid musk]

i'm too lazy to change

[olive flicker]

Duo hyperprop with freeze is cheese levels of damage

[candid bobcat]

<@&296918282403840000>

[short bloom]

@night remnant is asking for a hammer to be dropped <@&296918282403840000>

[late snow]

Anyone want to do a edd with me

[ancient cove]

where are you from? America, Europe etc.?

[knotty otter]

Shard Difractor
how mod + OC?

[pliant yoke]

That’s not the correct chat to ask, but also, I think I answered your question in #drg-chat message

In T3, you can also take T3B if you are not familiar with animation cancelling on this weapon

[manic pivot]

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

[placid musk]

21121 Overdrive Booster/32113 Volatile Impact Reactor

[wraith shard]

Christ the second mission is something

[tiny portal]

Hmmm, I've been running coilgun hellfire OC 23122 for a while. Is something like 23223 better? I see some people recommend it but I think the trail size might suffer too much

[placid musk]

i run 22213

[pliant yoke]

22213 is probably the optimised mod loadout for Hellfire

The trail size is already huge with Hellfire - it doesn’t really need to be bigger, at least not when you’re missing out on Electric Trail in T5

[coral pond]

If you have incendiary on hyperprop, homebrew is doing legitimately nothing. Like, it's actually not rolling at all

[placid musk]

the alternatives don't seem that appealing either

[pliant yoke]

It is rolling, but it’s always negative numbers, so nothing changes

[placid musk]

i only run hyperprop on sabo

[coral pond]

Stun is helpful for lsts

[placid musk]

and stun on elim isn't that good

[coral pond]

If you're only using it on the dreads/caretaker, sure

But stun is good for other hyperprop targets(most notably praets since they don't immediately die

Taking homebrew with incendiary is the same as just not taking a mod in that tier though

[placid musk]

k

noted :))

[coral pond]

And if you took off incendiary, homebrew would not roll below 100% damage. I don't know if it's always 140%, or if it only rolls between 100%-140% though

[placid musk]

not taking off incendiary

I want my instant ignition

[ancient cove]

If someone in europe needs help with EDD, I've about an hour time

[supple rapids]

Easter Deep Dive?

[tiny portal]

Eh, I've tested it, and the trajectory is significantly smaller, plus the enemies dont stay inside the trail radius (because of the fear) to receive the full dmg of the trail. I like 23112 better rn

Also the increased reload time was really noticable

[pliant yoke]

They don’t need to stay throughout the trails duration to catch on fire.

Grunts are ignited almost immediately

[tiny portal]

True, but the trail itself does damage too, not only the setting on fire

[pliant yoke]

And the rest is heat spread

[pliant yoke]

Like, what do you need that damage for, anyway?

[tiny portal]

slashers, guards

Nice on macteras too

[pliant yoke]

1. Hellfire will probably kill Slashers easily enough, and if not, heat spread through all affected targets, if the swarm is substantial enough, will

[tiny portal]

Im not saying the build is bad, im just saying to try out my build as well

[pliant yoke]

2. Do you really need to kill Guards with Hellfire? Your primary will probably do a better job at it

[pliant yoke]

I did. I tried Fear with T2B once and never went back to stun/T2C

[tiny portal]

There is a difference between needing to finish off 2 scattered guards with 3/4 hp or 2 guards that are nicely lined up with less than half hp

[pliant yoke]

T2C also doesn’t allow you to semi-charge shots, so you are missing out on electric trail potential to snipe single targets, and are always forced to do Hellfire shots, which you don’t have to do all the time

[unreal kraken]

mmmm

[pliant yoke]

I’ve had this discussion yesterday already and don’t really feel like having it again

[tiny portal]

Why would you snipe single targets? And then take that 2.5 second reload?

I gotta say that the defense while charging is nice

But it also helps with gaining the full charge

[pliant yoke]

Because it has infinite effective range and is very efficient

Also, Born Ready is a perk

[tiny portal]

Efficient?

[pliant yoke]

I don’t have to reload Coil every shot

[tiny portal]

Its probably the least efficient gun gunner has for taking out single targets

[pliant yoke]

Well it’s not M1K on Scout, but you can take out spitters one by one, if you really want to. You can also immediately fear any bug in the trail, and it fears any bug that isn’t fear resistant, always

[tiny portal]

with 1.5 sec reload you can quickly take 2 hellfire shots on two different angles to take out most of the swarm

Especially with more trail radius

I guess that I do use big bertha with fear so the fear isnt necessary for me

Your build is probably better with leadstorm

[pliant yoke]

That’s a different situation, so it doesn’t really relate to the spitter example I brought up

[pliant yoke]

It’s better with anything

At least the way I play and value certain effects

[tiny portal]

Isnt hellfire meant for taking out entire swarms? Why specialise it on single targets

[tiny portal]

for you

[pliant yoke]

Because it already murders swarms, why lean even more into it?

[placid musk]

tapfiring hellfire really saves you in a pinch

that's my take

[pliant yoke]

I’d rather it have utility and allow me to snipe pesky bugs if I really want them dead

[placid musk]

ik people take charge time decrease + reload

[pliant yoke]

Low ammo and only Hellfire shots doesn’t sound like a grand idea

Unless you are playing, IDK, Minelayer, then you probably can make do with anything

[placid musk]

the people that ran this just said it was preference

[tiny portal]

0.5 trail radius increase is no joke, think of it in 3d, its actually almost 2x the area covered from before

[pliant yoke]

I don’t need that. I can compensate for lower radius with better positioning and kiting bugs

[placid musk]

i don't see the difference

[pliant yoke]

And having electric trail adds more killing power to non-fully charged shots

[tiny portal]

Which you then need to reload 2.5 sec for

I really dont see the point

But that may be my playstyle

[placid musk]

you don't need to consecutively spam hellfire

[tiny portal]

I tap big bertha for single bugs

[placid musk]

well i don't do it

[pliant yoke]

I swap to my primary and go brrt?

[placid musk]

oh BB

maxes sense

[pliant yoke]

Why does it matter if it’s Big Bertha or not

[placid musk]

that thing has the swarm clearing power of a water balloon

hellfire is heavy lifting

[coral pond]

Cmf for coilgun makes the coilgun so much more versatile for literally everything that there's no legitimate reason to take anything else

[tiny portal]

.

And the other message below it

[tiny portal]

Yea

I understand the tap firing when using leadstorm or something

[coral pond]

I can understand deciding to take stun over fear, even though i believe it's wrong, but not taking cmf is just a mistake

[tiny portal]

cmf is not that useful if u dont have electric mod

And the reason for not taking electric mod is because trail radius is a huge upgrade

1.3^2 = 1.69 and 1.8^2 = 3.24, almost doubling in area size

[coral pond]

Cmf + electric trail can kill grunts with a 1/4th charge shot, which is insanely ammo efficient. But you know, i'm not gonna spend more time trying to convince you otherwise as this conversation has already run it's course. Long as you're having fun ig that's all that matters 🙏

[tiny portal]

As I said, different playstyles

If you want to take out small groups, yes cmf is better

If you only want to delete huge swarms with hellfire shots, faster reload is more convenient

And, deleting big swarms is also really ammo efficient

I think both builds are great and hellfire is just op af, at least we agree on that

[bleak jolt]

here's to this week's EDD . what an adventurer

[swift wasp]

where can i find the deep dive elite tasks for this week

[hollow palm]

pinned comment

[swift wasp]

i have foudn it thx

[spring terrace]

Anyone up for a deep dive

[knotty otter]

WHere is the Overclock library?

[ancient cove]

What do you mean with library?
Generally, you will find each overclock on pages for associated weapon
https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/Equipment#Driller

[knotty otter]

a page that shows all overclocks ive crafted, uncrafted and dont own

[hardy grove]

Like a spreadsheet tracker sort-of-thing? I'd buy that for a dollar, but in-game all there seems to be is the forge history.

[knotty otter]

most games ave that weird drg doesnt..

[weary wharf]

hi guys! tell me, can someone help in the European region to pass deep dive? I'm new to the game, there is prestige in every class, I can take something for you, I really want to have time to close it before the end of the week

[ornate crest]

https://drg-completionist.com/ is this what youre looking for?
if you dont trust the link, look up ‘drg completionist’ and youll get it

[burnt sandal]

"most games" ? Not really

[knotty otter]

yes really

[ancient cove]

The statement is not accurate. All these tools are made by someone from the community. I can't remember even seeing an official site provided by the Devs for completion, guides and interactive maps.
So it all depends on a random private person who decides to spend their time and resources making such things.
Luckely DRG community is big enough and we have a lot of great tools and mods.

[coral pond]

What games exactly are included in "most games"? Cause i've never seen something like that

[burnt sandal]

I would argue that most games actually don't have this kind of stuff tbh

[coral pond]

I'm with you on that, I'm just curious on what games they're talking about

[ancient cove]

A lot of big games have Internaktive Maps and they often include progress. Like for example Elden Ring
https://mapgenie.io/elden-ring/maps/the-lands-between
Or the last game I played was Dead Island 2, it has also something similar:
https://mapgenie.io/dead-island-2

IGN has some guides where you can also tick boxes for things you have done when logged in

[ancient cove]

So, after 500h hours playtime I forgot why Coil Gun is trash, now I tried it again and remembered :P

[sharp tundra]

Tf coil gun isn’t trash

Or do you mean just base?

[rain heath]

I've found that coil gun gets much better with overclocks like Hellfire or The Mole

it's outclassed by other secondaries without overclocks

[ancient cove]

I don't find it useful for Most Gunner builds.
Beside Minigun, all other Gunner's primaries have great AOE damage, which makes Hellfire obsolete and created need for single target damage, which can be provided much better by other Secondaries.

It might be useful to take out flying targets, if you use OCs like mine layer or if you need some AOE in a Minigun build, but I personally use Burning Hell to deal with Swarmers and close range group of grunts.

[static lichen]

lsls + hellfire

[coral pond]

Lsls, jfh, and honestly probably pbm

Oh yeah and minelayer is still a good combo with it. It may not be the right fit for the builds you use, but that doesn't mean it's trash(at least not with hellfire. Base coilgun is another thing entirely

[ancient cove]

Burning Hell + Bulldog, one of the best Haz6x2 builds 🫡

[coral pond]

Minelayer + hellfire is up there too, and is the only build i know of to complete 8x2? It was either 8x2 or 7x2, idr which exactly

[static lichen]

8x2

i view hellfire the same way i view ecr

[ancient cove]

Minelayer is boring 😒

[static lichen]

swarm clearing weapon in a slot not normally used for swarm clear

and it enables some picks in the other slot

[coral pond]

May be boring but it's still one of the strongest things in the entire game

I'm sure ntp could beat 8x2, just that all the modded difficulty players absolutely refuse to use it cause it makes things so easy with basically no skill

[static lichen]

i think i heard about someone beating 8x2 with ntp + hellfire

but yeah, it's more boring than minelayer, which is quite the achievement

[sharp tundra]

Me wanting to point out u can build the other 2 for single target damage

[ancient cove]

What do you have in mind?

Do you mean like Big Bertha OC?

[sharp tundra]

Pbm big Bertha, salvo

[ancient cove]

well, you can build BRT7 for some AOE as well with Electro Minelets

[static lichen]

electro minelets, magic bullets, yeah

but in terms of swarm clear on your secondary, no other gunner secondary comes close to hellfire

[sharp tundra]

Nor does any primary lol

The only downside is you have to wait for enemies to get in a straight line compared to you

[neat forum]

nothing really compares to coilgun in terms of safety provided. Hellfire just adds a ton of swarm clear on top of it

any build with single target primary + hellfire is stronger than aoe primary + single target secondary

hellfire alone can carry some crazy high difficulties

ah, I thought it was #drg-chat , no wonder no messages in 20m

How about you lay off the eggs this go around. Sick of these eggs man.

[junior cove]

The omelettes must flow

[coral pond]

they're having supply chain issues since this freight driver keeps fucking shit up

[knotty otter]

How mod + OC the BRT?

[shut hemlock]

do the deep dives get harder if you have more people or are my friends and I suffering the greatest skill issue known to man when my friend just promoted cuz me and one of my mates beat this weeks dd without breaking a sweat and now we are getting our asses WHOOPED by it with our 3rd member

[quasi oracle]

It does.

[shut hemlock]

you have no idea how good that is to hear

[quasi oracle]

More dwarves means larger swarms and health pools for larger creatures.

[shut hemlock]

Ah ok, yeah that makes sense

[thick sapphire]

don't you also need to consider the enemy hitbox size?

[gentle arrow]

My first ever deep dive almost got sabotaged by a driller

[quasi oracle]

Figured it out. Do it solo. Get red rock blaster and you’re good.

[tiny portal]

Enemies differ yes... Whats the point

[thick sapphire]

the bigger the enemy the less significant the trail radius is

[tiny portal]

Sure?

I dont see how thats relevant here

We are talking about big groups of mostly grunts and the like

[fallow niche]

isnt trail radius worthless on hellfire anyway since it doesnt actually affect the ignite radius

[languid rune]

I dunno about that but it's competing with electric trail so

[coral pond]

what is even the base trail radius? i can't find it on the wiki's coilgun page

[languid rune]

0.3 I believe

[coral pond]

damn no wonder hellfire is such a massive feeling increase

[languid rune]

yeah, 333% increase is no joke

[coral pond]

and hellfire also basically halves the duration

which makes electric trail that much more potent

[languid rune]

the trail radius increase is also why UMC is probably the second-best CG OC

[coral pond]

i'd argue for mole, but that makes the coilgun serve a different purpose anyways

[languid rune]

Mole's not bad, and I think it's been used to complete an 8x2 successfully. dunno that it's quite as good as UMC but it's definitely close

[coral pond]

kinda hard to compare with having a different purpose tbh. UMC keeps it as a more swarm clear weapon, while mole makes it much better against lsts and stronger

[languid rune]

I mean, what niche a weapon fills does impact how good it is—gunner has a lot of tools for LSTs so Mole does usually end up worse than UMC

[coral pond]

ig

[short bloom]

dude, don't press our luck, last time someone asked for something from MC, we had O2 for 3 weeks straight

[worthy dome]

I wouldnt recommend doing it solo

but here is a video of someone doing ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOxs-sCA1uU&t=1452s&ab_channel=USteppin

[pure owl]

im going into my first deep dive, can anyone teach me the basics of it? maybe some legends can join me and guide me through it.

[tawdry lark]

I can explain how it works if you like

[pure owl]

yes pls

[tawdry lark]

Basically, it’s 3 missions back to back

You receive a matrix core for each completed

But, the missions contain two objectives

Plus a mutator

[coral pond]

it's pretty simple

• 3 missions back to back, your only break is the load screen
• 2 main objective, both must be done to advance
• no minerals/event spawns, so just do objectives and leave
• regular deep dive is haz 3/3.5/3.5 for missions 1/2/3 respectively
• elite deep dive is haz 4.5/5/5.5 for missions 1/2/3 respectively
• you get a blank core, weapon overclock, and cosmetic core for completing missions 1/2/3 respectively
• these core rewards are per stage, so if you succeed stage 2 but fail stage 3, you still have the blank and weapon overclock
• can only get these cores once per week, per dive(so one set from regular, one from elite)
• repeat runs just reward xp/credits

regular deep dive can only have 2 mutators, elite can have 3

[tawdry lark]

Also deep dive missions are restricted to one biome for all three missions for the full week

[pure owl]

ah okay i get it now, thanks lads

[tawdry lark]

So if the deep dive is for glacial, then all three missions will be glacial

[coral pond]

if you don't care about going in blind, all the details you'll need are pinned in this channel upon weekly reset

[pure owl]

cool thanks

[olive flicker]

Imo it's easier than randoms because it's more consistent. If you have consistent friends to play with that would be easier.

You can't dc etc solo either, also get to pause to take a break.

[raven carbon]

Depends on the team. But in general you can take a look at the character levels in the lobby before starting. While character level isn't an indicator of skill, experience is certainly helpful and you're more likely to get a decent team for EDDs if players have higher levels.

[balmy cradle]

how is scout's abyss for solo scout?

[viscid hedge]

pretty easy

[wicked badger]

Elite Level 2 SUCKS

Stingtail Spam. Web Spitter Spam. Terrible Terrain

[fossil cipher]

That's as far as we got, we were doing fine enough, but two of our crew left.

[wicked badger]

Eh, I got two others here, if one can fill

[fossil cipher]

The two of us didn't feel like doing the uplink with just two, and decided to cut and run with just the blank core. We already have the perk points from clearing, so it's whatever.

[wicked badger]

Now that I think about it, I think I've already looted this dive with another squad

I'm going through pain for nothing

🥲

Also the first attempt (of three), a bulk spawned along with in oppressor in spawn

Ammo is tight, too

Actually torture

[short bloom]

remember that skills like Iron Will and Field Medic recharge between stages

[vestal grotto]

This weeks edd was super easy

[wicked badger]

Musta been my two engies and a driller

[pure owl]

yea

i noticed during it

very cool

[late snow]

Anyone want to do a deep dive

[pliant yoke]

Get a gaming platform role in #welcome-and-rules and ask in any of appropriate LFG channels

[ancient cove]

where are you from? America, Europe etc.?

[late snow]

Australia

[late snow]

Where

[ancient cove]

Then I can't help you, sorry. DRG has no good lag compensation, after a ping of 90+ it starts to become a problem

[late snow]

Oh ok

[pliant yoke]

It seems that platform roles were taken down? Well that’s nasty.

I.e., they were taken down temporarily, that happens sometimes

[late snow]

Oh ok

U want to do a deep dive

[pliant yoke]

No, sorry, it’s not my region and also I’m at work currently

[tiny portal]

No, trail radius = ignite radius

[tiny portal]

And the area nearly doubles with trail radius upgrade

[fallow niche]

huh, tested for a bit and this seems to be correct
weird that that was propagated as much as it was then, could have sworn the 'common knowledge' was that ignite radius was its own unaffected thing

well whatever, trail radius still sux lmao

[tiny portal]

Lmao typical this, not actually testing something. Also it certainly does not suck, 2x area is no joke, but well whatever

[tiny portal]

Coping hard

[fallow niche]

nah
bugs tend to converge on the same area
at which point normal hellfire radius is still more than adequate to kill most of what's around you at a given moment with a charged shot
and with an uncharged shot you want elec trail if you want to still do damage whatsoever, and since half the point of hellfire is getting a fat trail radius to begin with, cmf becomes even more useful then

but we can just pretend there isnt already broad consensus on this instead

[tiny portal]

Your 'broad consensus' was wrong just a few minutes ago

Like many players in the discord you just regurgitate what you see other people say instead of actually testing stuff yourself

[fallow niche]

Like many players in the discord you just regurgitate what you see other people say instead of actually testing stuff yourself
you are saying this in response to...
me testing something.
lol
ok
no more (you)s for (you)

[tiny portal]

At first you regurgitate other claims, until I have to tell you: no, you're wrong. You test it, I'm right. Now we again have a discussion without you actually testing the other build. Who's to say I won't turn out right again?

Why not play with it for a little bit?

I know I've tested both builds and I'm not saying electric is bad, I'm just saying trail size is a decent competitor

[ancient cove]

Still about 20min left

Also if you block the game with firewall or disable your internet before you start the game after a new DD roation, you can still complete the one from last time your game was connected to the internet

[candid bobcat]

you don't need to block, i think not restarting the game is sufficient

[ancient cove]

Yeah, if you have the game still running during the rotation time.
But I'm not sure if it only gets updated after a restart or maybe also after you come back from a mission

[manic pivot]

_ _
ATTENTION MINERS!
New Deep Dives are now available!

[eager flame]

Famous last words

[fallen sphinx]

nu uh

[sly kettle]

Good luck, everyone!

[late snow]

Gl

[vestal grotto]

Finally no magma core 😂

[pliant yoke]

You mean, no more of the best biome ?

At least it’s the Hollow Bough in EDD

That’s the second best biome

[vestal grotto]

My fav is azure weald ngl

And also sandblasted corridors

[cursive summit]

no way you’re telling me you enjoy the trawlers in sandblasted

[vestal grotto]

I enjoy the 1 hit break terrain 😂

[pliant yoke]

They usually get stuck in some hole and can’t leave it

Best not get in that hole with them, though - they will munch you

[atomic skiff]

this weeks edd dosent look too bad

[eager flame]

Updated

📌

I need to start arriving at work sooner...

[waxen token]

what does volatile guts do?

[pliant yoke]

Bugs explode in a brief moment after being killed, while they deal some damage in an area where they died

It makes crowd clearing a breeze, basically

It can also damage you somewhat, but it shouldn’t be all that significant

[eager flame]

Also

Steeve

:(

[pliant yoke]

Lucky us, unlucky them 😔

[tight flax]

I’m pretty sure I’ve asked this before but forgotten. Can I do as many deep dives as I want and get more cores or not. Can I only then do deep dives once and the core hunt for them?

[atomic skiff]

dd rewards are one time only

[tight flax]

Damn so I can’t get anymore cores once I’ve done them I’ll just have to wait a week.

[atomic skiff]

yup

or work on promoting each class to get more cores

[blazing acorn]

A bit late answer, but click on the name of it and it‘ll show a list of what all of them change

[oblique thunder]

you can do both the regular and elite deep dives for cores tho, they are separate rewards @tight flax

[knotty otter]

Does the damage boost work on Power Attacks or only Regular Swings?
is Dash overrated? i dont think ive ever used it in a pinch... always forget i ave it or it wont save me anyway since if i could run id do it already...

[olive flicker]

You're not using it effectively by your description.

It's less overrated than IW for sure

[pearl vine]

Oooo there's a nemesis in stage 1 of DD

[plush wigeon]

hello

I am new here

how ye get your role?

[quasi oracle]

Cave leech cluster. Rip scout.

[plush wigeon]

those things sucks

[zenith ember]

there's only 1 room with leeches as far as i can tell

then again, i only explored 1 room since all the objectives were close to drop lol

[full saddle]

i still quite liked that one week with cave leech cluster that had zero leeches on the map

[pearl vine]

Lol the layout of DD stage 3 looks like a driller was there before us

[short bloom]

holes in all the wrong places ?

[humble harbor]

rival presence

time to bring burning hell

[vocal saddle]

is this weeks EDD bad

[pearl vine]

nah, but most of it is just tunnels

[unreal turtle]

Define bad

[vocal saddle]

last week getting stingtailed to hell

and not alot of nitra

[fathom kestrel]

If anyone wants to attempt the EDD this week I'm down

[atomic skiff]

dwarf cave flight program last week

[fathom kestrel]

Man I loved that sm, airborne driller my beloved

[vocal saddle]

damn yea im not on xbox 😦

[dry root]

this week is kinda free

for both dds

or maybe its bc we had good players

[fathom kestrel]

I'm going in blind with a decent group so hopefully the report will be acceptable

[fathom shore]

Whats this weeks dd

[zenith ember]

pinned

both should be chill

[hardy fractal]

the EDD isn't in magma core for once

😮

[fathom shore]

Where

[zenith ember]

The first message?

[fathom kestrel]

So far a cake walk, I recommend heightened senses

[vocal saddle]

i still havent started

[short bloom]

me neither, I don't know what to do first, EDD/DD or the seasonal quests

[karmic sundial]

I just did the 2022 one, then 2023, then weekly hunts and the DD

[fathom kestrel]

I'm doing the EDD today bc I feel like it

So far my team is doing great! I haven't been downed yet.

[frank relic]

Black box is just lamer uplink

[frank relic]

Seasonal first. DD actually comes back.

[vocal saddle]

this elite deep dive is a cake walk

aaand i killed myself

[fathom kestrel]

Okay so note: bulk detonator has greater intelligence than expected, do not use as method to kill dreadnoughts

[dense pebble]

no, its a good strat, just not when you're solo

and its so satisfying to pull off

[fathom kestrel]

Well I think it was the gunner bc the one we got was being a butt and I kicked em

We just didn't have enough firepower to take the bulk down when it was in position

Eh, if someone needs a driller for this week's EDD, I'm around. My beard is still super green imo but I do have prestige 4 on driller. I'm on Xbox only tho

[oak pecan]

EDD seems easy this week

None of the overly long objectives

Will attempt it solo later today

Is it stingtail hell like last week?

And any special spawns?

I got a nemesis on stage 1 of the regular DD

[coral pond]

hiveguard rival presence 🤮

[oak pecan]

It wasnt that bad personally

The area around the turret controller is enough to fight the hiveguard

Just take out the turret controller, and then deal with the hiveguard

The cave gen on stage 1 was a little funky, took me a while as solo gunner to get the pipes set up

[vocal saddle]

Yea its a cake walk

RNG is wild

last week it was really crazy

[oak pecan]

Yeah, it was a pain last week

I actually had to get a team

[bleak jolt]

Yea I remember that. Good times, painful but fun.

[tiny portal]

This weeks EDD felt like a regular DD

[frail forge]

Next EDD will be Escort + Low O2 on Magma core

[tiny portal]

Escort is real chill with low o2

Last weeks EDD was probably the 2nd hardest I've seen

[frail forge]

Low O2 with Escort is CBT to me

[tiny portal]

Only beaten by the tiny stage 2 haunted cave on my 2nd EDD

[frail forge]

God forbid I want to get nitra

Lol haunted cave is either a shit show or chill no in-between

It's really funny but man is it stressful at times :c

[karmic sundial]

Haunted cave on edd + magma core

[ancient cove]

Escort + Low O2 is easy

[karmic sundial]

that will bring out some things from us

[ancient cove]

just ride on Doretta

for o2

Wore is o2 with hunted cave and Dreadnoughts

[karmic sundial]

o2 + huanted cave + dreadnought + eggs

on magma core

thatd be funny

[ancient cove]

Eggs as secondary are pretty easy, you get only 1-2 swarms, depending if you need 2 or 4 eggs

[karmic sundial]

EDD is 4 eggs

[fathom shore]

As a scout what u guys reckon i should bring for the edd

[oak pecan]

Got bad swarm RNG on stage 2 with the eggs

And got caught with 0 shields and no ammo during a swarm in the last room

And used all 4 of my bosco revives

But I survived and am now on stage 3

Also they really need to tweak stingtail spawn rates, I was getting tossed around by 3 at once

Overall pretty easy EDD

My results are in #drg-gallery

[sharp tundra]

Wow this elite deep dive looks like the easiest we’ve had in awhile

Hollow bough too nice

Any extreme spawns?

[fathom kestrel]

There were a few bulks during my run

[wise cosmos]

This edd pretty ez. Only hard thing was the elite grabber suddenly grabbing and leaving with our scout

[jagged rapids]

Hosting EDD:
#lfg-playstation message

[oak pecan]

Stingtails may be a problem on stage 2 but thats about it

[jagged rapids]

We got room for one more

[sharp tundra]

That could be a problem with black box

[late snow]

This week Edd was so much easier the. Last weeks

[patent elk]

Last week wasn't too bad though

[thick sapphire]

first attempt failed because team picks the worst places and times to fight swarms

like when there's a bulk

like we're in the tunnel

with bulk in front of us

and can't spare enough attention for behind

[placid musk]

oh my god look at drg-chat

[warped veldt]

i am here because drg chat is being bot raided

[placid musk]

XDDDD

[spiral badge]

The frick is happening in there?!

[atomic grove]

idfk

[placid musk]

some no-life asshole decided it would be fun to bot-spam general chat

[mellow sky]

no way 💀

[weary tree]

he gonna find this chat soon

[atomic grove]

weird shit

[thick sapphire]

just throw an incendiary grenade

[atomic grove]

anywho whats a good breach cutter setup to pair with executioner on the loki?

[coral pond]

well that sure was something to come back to

[mellow sky]

i feel bad for the mods rn

[coral pond]

imagine if this server had any kind of actually good moderation

[atomic grove]

current setup is ocless with 11123

[placid musk]

very sure it's specifically designed to fuck with the mods

[weary tree]

lol

[atomic grove]

u think people give a shit?

[coral pond]

Breach Cutter setups tend to be X1122 or X1123

[placid musk]

run VIM

[warm robin]

Who actually does this with their tine

Time

[coral pond]

i just mean that it wouldn't go on for 30 minutes without mods doing something lmao

[tropic jackal]

guys dont look at #drg-chat

[placid musk]

i know someone who got banned after making a joke that in no way broke the rules

[weary tree]

channel got locked i think

[placid musk]

and people who've gotten off scot free after saying "retard"

maliciously

[haughty bough]

Who touched this little grass man

[placid musk]

(mods pls don't ban i was making a point)

[fathom shore]

Bleddy greenbeard died here

[golden barn]

more ammo and mag size, the no delay mod, plas trail and cant remember the rest

[frank quartz]

Yeah I hear weird shit ab the moderation sometimes

[mellow sky]

it did

[frank quartz]

Somebody called me that just for being afk yesterday lol

[haughty bough]

This damm server needs mods like a mfer

[golden barn]

at least, thats how I run my breach

[atomic grove]

remind me what that stands for

[placid musk]

sorry VIR

[weary tree]

what’s the best overclock u got today

[fathom shore]

I blocked em all

[weary tree]

fat boy

[placid musk]

volatile impact reactor

[weary tree]

i got it yesterday actually though

[atomic grove]

thats on shard diffractor

[golden barn]

a bot that detects spam should've been more than enough

[placid musk]

it needs a mod team that is online 24/7 who are clear about the rules and accept user feedback

[placid musk]

ik

[haughty bough]

Yeah

[atomic grove]

o nvm

[coral pond]

trueeeeeeeeeeee

[fathom shore]

Or different time zones so one can be on anytime

[atomic grove]

but ye i wanna use breach with loki

[golden barn]

21122 or 21112 depends on if you want the stun or armor break, stun is preferable imo

[atomic grove]

so ig we can call that 211X2 with say inferno?

if thats even a worthy OC for the breach cutter

mostly wanted to use it for everything but bosses

[golden barn]

dont have inferno, I use light weight cases on mine

[atomic grove]

o i see

[golden barn]

that build should be able to take care of swarms and still have the punch for dreads

[atomic grove]

the build u just listed?

[placid musk]

inferno is the best one

because fire

[atomic grove]

o i see

well how well will 21123 with inferno do

[placid musk]

pair it t3a & t5a on the lok1 and it basically gives you a 40% damage bonus after the second lock-on provided you hit the bug with inferno first

[coral pond]

there's no real reason to take armor break over stun, the thing shreds armor in the first place

[atomic grove]

this is so true

i legit 1 tap praes armor with this thing xD

[spiral badge]

lok1?

[olive flicker]

I think they mean breach cutter has great armour break.

[pallid root]

I had 5 detonator at DD stage 3 entrance today, is it supposedly like that or another drg moment?

[ancient cove]

Had DD Stage 1 Nemesis

[zenith ember]

Drg moment, i got 2+2 on that stage

Nemesis on stage 1 dd seems consistent w 4 man

[digital obsidian]

What this week’s deep dive?

[wraith shard]

#deep-dive-discussion message

[ancient cove]

Pinned Message

[digital obsidian]

Oh thank you

Guess driller is the best one for normal deep dive

[pallid root]

Sad didnt screenshot that

5 detonator literally crawling down from drop pod hole

[eager flame]

Sounds like a lie

But drg do be freaky like that sometimes

[old widget]

Normal deep dive stage 3 (Haz 3.5) doesn’t permit five disruptive enemies to spawn/be present at once. No vanilla difficulty does - Haz 5/5.5 maxes out at 3. If you saw five bulks active at once, host was modded. Sometimes difficulty mods can stick around even after disabling them unless you fully restart the game.

[proud coyote]

where is the first stage's black box in the edd ?

found it

[vale heath]

Damn think this guy's account was hacked

[ancient cove]

Most likely

<@&296918282403840000>

[rain trout]

Poor guy got hacked

[ancient cove]

Don't click unknown links guys

[sharp tundra]

This elite deep dive was very easy. Tho my first attempt on the second stage we ran into a Betc. We decided to engage it cuz it was in the middle of the room. The second we did, 3 warden groups and 2 stingtail s spawned. Since it was such a cramped room we all died

[runic relic]

also had nem on dd1 solo, some with edd1 4man

[sharp tundra]

Had nemesis on 1st stage Edd for four man. But only once out of two times

[ivory marten]

Time to DIVE.

[ancient cove]

DIVE DIVE DIVE

[warm plaza]

DIVE DIVE DIVE

[upbeat blade]

DOWN DOWN DOWN WE GO, INTO THE THE DEEPEST... errr... bungalow?

[knotty otter]

i need a build for the minelayer system

[slate stump]

this week's edd was easier than dd

few bulks and nemesis spawned, but leadburster exists

[spiral badge]

Easier than DD? 🤔

[humble harbor]

funny edd

I accidentally moled the twins while killing dread

[static lichen]

this edd was

certainly something

we had a massive clusterfuck during stage 2, with the egg swarm

that took three iron wills to stabilize

other than that, easy

[humble harbor]

honestly yeah, dd has on site refinery

also hiveguard which just means loads of time gating

this is probably a very good EDD to speedrun

[spiral badge]

Ooooh dang, I still need the < 45 mins achievement

[paper ingot]

into the depths below!!

[short bloom]

Did Edd first

Engineer did NOT carry their weight, started mining gold for . . . reasons

Very good driller and gunner, though, helped bunches

[dense pebble]

man, stage 1 DD's cave was so irritating

[bright schooner]

I have a question, with the deep dives you have three rewards, if you complete it, does it stop you from collecting the rewards from deep dive elite? in otherwards, todal between the two is (3) not (6)?

[dense pebble]

you can collect both normal and elite deep dive rewards

[bright schooner]

I've completed Deep Dive elite multiple times and as progressing, it shows I hit each halmark, but then when it ends I get nothing? Any idea? Not running any mods.

[zenith ember]

dd and EDD counts as separate deep dives, but you can only get 1 set of cores from each one every week

if you have cleared DD and/or EDD, subsequent clears will only give xp and gold

so DD 1 set, EDD 1 set per week

[bright schooner]

EDD I wasn't getting anything, was so confused. I did it multiple times thinking I was making a mistake. Will try again, I don't seem to get anything from EDD

[zenith ember]

thats weird

[spiral badge]

anyone on xbox wanna try EDD?

[placid musk]

we stacked the 2 swarms together

reached the bug cap so it was less stressful

i kited half the swarm around for a bit to alleviate pressure

no deaths

i did get punted off a nitra vein by drg physics and broke my ankles

but that was my only down

[spiral badge]

losing on EDD3 to dread

[tiny dagger]

it always feels like i beat a edd second try every time

[tiny dagger]

but i thought both eggs were literally near the spawn room

which would make them an actual breeze

we lost stage 2 try 1 to a second "pit"

[kindred coyote]

so i gotta say what happened to us so nobody makes the same mistake

easy ass edd right

blazing thru it

stage 3 only dreads left

im running mole

i fucking shot the second egg while we were fighting the first dread

and we teamwiped

so basically dont run mole

anyway i then solod it with scout its a pretty easy edd as long as u dont die to every leech

[brisk spear]

or be more careful where you shoot

[kindred coyote]

how was i supposed to know it would travel 30m in the very specific direction that the egg was in 😭

its not my fault i swear

[spiral badge]

We died to the dread right next to the black box. I think we all used IW after everyone went down, but don’t think we were spaced apart correctly so eh

[undone sleet]

what are deep dives like

[zenith ember]

3 consecutive missions, with the secondary being a shorter version of main ones

[tiny dagger]

its just 3 long missions that increase in difficulty

[vestal grotto]

Pain

[tiny dagger]

its just the same feeling as a looong haz 5 mission

[vestal grotto]

Lethal enemies on 3rd stage is great to have 👍😂

[tiny dagger]

idk man i die on stage 2 more stage 3 is a breeze

[vestal grotto]

It really depends on ur luck honestly

Im proud of myself that i havent failed any of the deep dives 1 month in a row

[undone sleet]

ok but the real question is

[undone sleet]

but does beer last all three of them

[quaint pasture]

yessir

[undone sleet]

off to grind

so i can promote scout

and boi you bet i'm dying every deep dive i try

[ancient cove]

you can't fail, if you don't participate roll safe

[undone sleet]

also, what missions are possible in deepdives?

[olive flicker]

Everything except lithophage outbreak I think.

[undone sleet]

damn

[quaint pasture]

and an extra mission called blackbox

[undone sleet]

that's a lot of stuff

what's blackbox

[quaint pasture]

its basically just the salvage uplink by itself

[undone sleet]

i'm gonna hate deep dives

but then i'll love them so it's fine

[ancient cove]

normal Deep Dive is easy anyway, if you play Hazard 4 on regular basis

Deep Dive can't have events and event based enemies, which makes a mission often way harder

[tiny dagger]

you haven't died to the pit?

last week's pit managed to get a team kill

[vestal grotto]

Nope, was a flawless victory. This week's second stage was way more bumpy, tho we finished it no problem

[olive flicker]

Stage 1 DD nemesis was stuck somewhere the entire time

[ancient cove]

sus

<@&296918282403840000> spamming in each channel, sounds like scam

[olive flicker]

DD reminding me once a week how boring solo haz 3 is.

MC said swarm and then 10 bugs spawned.

[ancient cove]

😂

[leaden ridge]

So I’m considering getting this game, but how is the lfg experience for new players?

[zenith ember]

randoms are friendly most of the time

but wrong chat

[ancient cove]

I persoanlly play only with ranomds, most fun for me.
But there are lfg channels #lfg-steam , #lfg-xbox-microsoft , #lfg-playstation

[olive flicker]

I host pubs starting by myself and usually get players without issue even in the south/south east Asia region.

I imagine other regions are more active.

EDD was a walk in the park this week.

[leaden ridge]

I meant more like how in other games people care about player skill and stuff and won’t allow new players to lfg with them

[mellow cradle]

as long as you don't join the highest difficulty lobbies, people are happy to show new people around

[olive flicker]

There are a very small amount of sweats and they label their lobbies with stuff like "level X+ only", avoid those and you'll be fine.

In ~400 hours I've seen maybe 2-3 toxic people.

[narrow compass]

When I was new I entered random lobbies no problem

and yeah the advice above is viable

Pay attention to what the lobby description says and you ll be fine

Also better not join random haz5 lobbies before you feel alright on haz4 lol

[mellow cradle]

yeah

[raven carbon]

Edd was super easy this week

Compared to the last couple of weeks

[olive flicker]

I only got downed once to a stingtail pulling me on my leadburster.

Gotta give it that one tbh.

[kindred coyote]

outplayed

[raven carbon]

Relatable

Grabber got me and threw me off a cliff

[olive flicker]

Grabbers were in the pool? Which stage?

[frigid turtle]

Saw an elite grabber in stage 1 of edd

No idea if any appear in the normal one though

[vague bay]

what's a good setup for driller for the deep dive

[karmic sundial]

I did it with flamethrower with sticky fuel

[mellow cradle]

I wouldn't take the flamethrower, as there are 2 dreads

I'd take cryo if your team is coordinated or you know how to axe cancel, or just go sludge otherwise

[jagged rapids]

Took cryo and can confirm it worked well with a team that knows the strat. Ran this week's EDD twice as cryo driller with no issue in terms of team coordination (both pub lobbies)

Think I went cryo for the DD too with the same build

[modest kettle]

Is this weekly deep dive impossible? There doesn't seem to be enough morkite on the last mission

[karmic sundial]

Ofc it is lol...

it has more than 300 morkite for sure

[spiral badge]

Pretty sure the game is programmed to auto spawn more total morkite than you need

[olive flicker]

The last cave in a mining exped always has a lot of extra morkite.

[young patio]

how do i axe cancel

pick swing in between?

[mellow cradle]

https://youtu.be/TP0Hp3k_CPE

you can use either pickaxe, last weapon (Q), or laser pointer

[young patio]

k thanks

[civic zenith]

This weeks Elite Deep Dive was actually pretty easy.

Except one moment where we got stuck in a hole in the middle of a wave with like 5 Praetorians.

[devout oracle]

What’s the difference between deep dive and elite deep dive?

[jovial garden]

DD Haz 3~3.5
EDD Haz 4.5~5.5

[devout oracle]

So elite is just harder. Thanks

[narrow compass]

yeah

And I think you also have more mutators on edd’s

[dreamy kestrel]

and more foocking stronger enemies

[jagged rapids]

Correct.

DD has 1-2 modifiers
EDD has 2-3 modifiers

[barren mural]

Just finished the regular DD, the large room at the bottom has a LOT of Morkite, even if you missed a few patches on the way down, you should be good. I have had to backtrack (in previous games), and usually we just missed something because we didn't look around/behind

[sturdy vapor]

First time doing it but I had so much more trouble with the second level of the elite deep dive than the last one

Kept getting BET-C spawns

Heavy recommend just drilling or digging to the objectives on last caves tho

[tacit iris]

Good EDD but the second level can get a bit rough

[raven carbon]

Nah there's plenty. You almost get the full quota even before getting to the final room.

[obtuse comet]

is the sludge pump good against dreadnoughts?

or do i stick with cryo

[pliant yoke]

CSP is generally quite poor against Dreads DPS-wise, unless you are using Sludge Blast or Volatile Impact Mixture OCs

[obtuse comet]

well i have the sludge blast oc

i'm running a 13212 sludge blast csp

[civic zenith]

I cleared it without issue, personally.

[cunning pond]

I was with a team who could not deal with bulk detonators.
I told the gunner to use leadbursters and then we won lmao.

[olive flicker]

Sludge pump is driller's best solo dread primary. VIM sludge paired with blistering necrosis wave cooker deals plenty of damage. Use C4 for hiveguard armour.

You don't have a ton of a burst, but you have plenty of damage, keep moving, keep shooting, you ignore all armour and can hit dreads anywhere with sludge pump.

I personally haven't tried sludge blast but I've heard it's nice against dreads.

If you are duo just go cryo and pair with hyperprop.

[obtuse comet]

it is quite good ngl, and can also pair well with the blistering necrosis wave cooker. iirc one charge shot can insta kill the hiveguard armor but that's only the case if all pellets hit

tho honestly idk if it's justifiable enough to bring it into a team considering that the cryo cannon does better via team coordination

[hushed sequoia]

if you're in a group i'd say cryo is def better for dreads

but sludge is still easier and safer to use since you don't have to get close

[obtuse comet]

true

[pliant yoke]

IMO what you have is almost correct. I would recommend 11/22X2 for Sludge Blast (T2C doesn't do a whole lot except for VIM)

[obtuse comet]

interesting

what happened

@south viper look above, people aski g for money and spamming

[south viper]

they should get a fucking job then

[ancient cove]

It's their job. Scamming people

Have you seen people on the streets asking for 1$?
If you ask 10000 for 1$ and 1% of that people will give you one dollar, you will have 100$.

[quasi oracle]

This a new edd strat?

[jovial garden]

Damn 2 Bulk Det. in-a-row in Stage 2 EDD.

Egg Swarm and Timed Swarm.

[gilded mist]

I have just now finally soloed the EDD without going down once

Rock and bloody Stone

[tall relic]

There were Bulk Dets in the EDD spawn pools?

Damn guess I got lucky

[nocturne tiger]

Nice one 👊🏻 what buils were you runnin?

[ancient cove]

Okey fine, I'll do EDD now

[sharp tundra]

Bulk detonators only bad on escort and salvage

[arctic plover]

Just had a dude pop the dreadnaught egg while we were doing blackbox

[gilded mist]

The winning build was Uranium Thunderhead Gunner. I tried two prior to that- a fire driller and an ice driller, both focused on getting the burning/freezing to happen as fast as possible. Fire driller got shafted by second mission, ice driller got shafted by the twins on the third.

But gunner's my best class and I was amped at that point. I didn't originally think I'd make ti since there are some cramped spots driller's ideal for, but by breaking a few ammo conservation habits I got through with style.

[arctic plover]

Then towards the end before we wiped, a bulk spawned to rub salt in the wound

[edgy owl]

just got done with solo EDD

only 2 downs cus lethal enemies and stingtails

[sharp tundra]

I love my game crashing

Only happens every other hour

[gilded mist]

That second mission is so damn nasty with that particular combo. Grats!

[edgy owl]

it was annoying lol, but im happy with it

[ancient cove]

3 Bulks during EDD, 2 at the last stage

[sharp tundra]

Bulks aren’t problem

Ppl just like to complain about them

Still have ptsd as a greenbeard

[tiny dagger]

didn't try the sludge pump?

[gilded mist]

I'm not very good with it so far. Probably just haven't figured out how to make it fun and feel good yet.

I didn't get Rocket Gunner until finding the overclock that just cuts out the guidance system and turns you into rocket gatling. That made it a lot of fun. I did just get homebrew fuel though which I want to try

[tiny dagger]

sludge pump requires you to spam toxins at your enemies, it's also great for dreadnoughts

sludge blast, volatile impact mixture, goo bomber are the best OCs

https://youtu.be/VyUlC_1PTws crazy amount of damage

[surreal turtle]

How is it looking for the deep dives?

Are they good or bad?

[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]

EDD was almost too easy. Had a couple first-timers on my team and had no problems

DD stage one sucks without a driller, but otherwise wasn’t bad.

[surreal turtle]

Is there a greater reward for edd?

[quasi sleet]

No, it’s the same as doing a DD

[polar spoke]

Looking for a dd and edd team anybody still haven’t get theirs done yet?

[cunning pond]

What platform

[polar spoke]

Steam

[cunning pond]

God Speed

[crystal condor]

why is main chat stopped

[sonic jolt]

Wrong chat but why can't I write in #drg-chat

Also since I can't write in the main chat, is jumbo shells good

[sand cloak]

Skill issue

[fiery sleet]

What should I be doing when I'm using a flamethrower/wave cooker driller build based around temperature-shock and one of the mission objectives in the DD is a dread?

I feel like I do negligible damage to dreads and it's better to let my teammates do all the shooting while I don't to conserve ammo for the normal enemies. Is this a good idea? It feels weird to be standing around doing basically nothing (at least until someone goes down), but the alternatives seems to either be (1). shoot at the dread and waste ammo doing not much damage, or (2). ignore the dread and go off on my own and mine/explore next cave/do other main objective.

I suppose an easy answer to this is to change my loadout to accommodate a possible dread fight, but I would rather not do that. What should I do? Advice?

[sand cloak]

C4

You always have it and its always gonna do good damage

Ez

Just try not to teamkill

[full saddle]

secondaries are also useful here, if you're already running flamer temp shock give blistering necrosis a try

[fiery sleet]

C4 is too dangerous in EDD, tradeoff of medium damage to boss is not worth risk of wiping half my team

I'm using mega power supply and I love it

I guess I could try that OC

[full saddle]

its very good for dreads

additionally you can focus on hitting weakpoints with axes

[jade skiff]

I can't type in drg chat but I can here?

[fiery sleet]

I stand by rippers as my grenade of choice

Axes are BORING

[full saddle]

well with the build youve outlined yeah you will do literally nothing to dreads

give necrosis a try

[jade skiff]

I've tried out the autocannon how does it match compared to minigun?

Does it just have better AP, explosive rounds for worse accuracy and a clip?

[fiery sleet]

It basically trades single-target damage for AoE damage

[jade skiff]

Huh

Felt like it did worse against groups though

[idle citrus]

The blackbox for stage 3 of the EDD is just in the worst spot isn't it?

[idle citrus]

flamer is nigh useless vs dreads and that's why it doesn't come with me on deep dives. your best bet if you're too attached to the gun to give it up is to try and hold aggro and slow the dread with sticky flames. just don't go down

[warped veldt]

autocannon is generally worse

if youre skilled enough you can still win with it but unless you use neurotoxin payload youll generally have a tougher time compared to using minigun

[spiral badge]

i liked the autocannon but went back to minigun when i got LSLS

[jade skiff]

im using 31112 minigun, that good?

[signal leaf]

“hollow bough” atleast it aint magma core

[dark grove]

why can’t i type in drg chat

what the scallop

[still geode]

i'd generally prefer 32111, minigun has plenty of ammo already so you can take the extra damage to kill enemies faster without any issues, and aggressive venting is generally just better than cold as the grave

if you find aggressive venting not activating often enough swap to hot bullets instead

[jade skiff]

yeah i cant either

i pinged a mod but no response

[short bloom]

just watch out for the stage with the elites, rest is fine

[jade skiff]

the whole reason i took cold as a grave was cause overheating a lot, so im probably going to activate it a lot

also for the hurricane

im using 22222

bad or good idea?

[still geode]

i generally prefer velocity over armor break unless im using jetfuel homebrew (where it starts gaining too much velocity for my liking)

i also usually run either damage in tier1 + weakpoint damage in tier4, or area size in tier1 + area damage in tier4

currently you're running damage & area damage

fire rate and stun are both very good picks however

[jade skiff]

lower velocity means more time for me to switch targets after a kill and still hit so im fine with it

[dark grove]

huh that’s weird

[olive flicker]

Blistering necrosis and try to get dread attention so others have an easier time shooting it.
Also c4 hive guard weakpoints.

[soft python]

Why can't I use #drg-chat

Sorry for asking in this channel but idk what's happening

[gloomy frost]

Yeah i was wondering the same

It always pulls up the "done reading" pop up

[soft python]

Maybe ask a mod?

Or maybe we gotta level up since you and I don't have any roles

[gloomy frost]

What?

[soft python]

In some servers you have to talk to level up in a server and that'll allow you permissions to certain channels

Maybe that's happening here

[gloomy frost]

Thats stupid

[soft python]

Idk

[soft python]

Yeah

[gloomy frost]

Ima damn lootbug. Sometimes i just wan sit around and eat rocks

And stones

Sooo.....hows the deep dive

[harsh steppe]

You can now. Something got messed up in the permissions.

[sand cloak]

Still broken

Cant use #non-drg-chat

[harsh steppe]

can now

[gloomy frost]

Thanks your the best! 😄

[sand cloak]

Thanks!

[soft python]

Thank you

[winged ledge]

ive never done an elite deep dive before, how difficult is it? what should i expect?

[night island]

Death

Jk depends how good you are

I struggle with elite dives a lot but then I play haz 3 mainly with some haz 4

[winged ledge]

i mainly play haz 4

[night island]

I think the difficulties are haz 4.5, then haz 5, then haz 5.5

For the 3 stages

[lusty ice]

Yeap

gotta be constantly moving around

[winged ledge]

i struggle on normal haz 5 so i geuss i cant do elite yet 😦

[dim tapir]

You can get lucky and get critical weakness on the last one. You still get two cores for the first two missions so it’s worth trying out

Also if you play with teammates they can carry a bit if needed

Best way to get better is to try it

[lusty ice]

yuh

is this week edd better than last week?

[winged ledge]

thanks for the advice

[tacit iris]

I thought it was

Second mission can be rough if you get swarmed at the wrong place, and the third one has a bad black box spot, but overall not the worst

[olive flicker]

Walk in the park compared to last week.

[lusty ice]

yea so far so good

[raven carbon]

If you can just hold your own during the first two stages you are good, just need a decent team, and keep communicating

Even I wasn't great at haz5 when I started EDDs, it's fine

Takes a bit of practice that's all

[raven carbon]

Really easy compared to last week

[cloud sentinel]

last section of the edd spawned twin gylphids and a detonator

one of the twins died instantly to the detonator it was crazy

@fossil granite were u the driller?

[fathom birch]

Just completed Elite DD for this week, def easier than normal

[cloud sentinel]

it was easier for me last week idk why

[junior pendant]

I ran EDD last night and got 2 detonator spawns on the second stage right beside each other, looked like they were dancing, needless to say, we didn't finish the second stage

[wraith shard]

ROCK AND STONE

[coral pond]

No

[wraith shard]

Why?

[inland smelt]

first deep dive timer on 44:30, and i just got the achievement of finishing before 45minutes

gg

[minor widget]

Rock and stone miner

[grave crypt]

What are the bonuses from doing deep dives

[coral pond]

Overclocks

[grave crypt]

How many do you get?

[coral pond]

1 blank core, 1 weapon overclock, and 1 cosmetic core per dive(regular/elite) per week

[grave crypt]

Thank you

[shadow shoal]

I love deep dives

[karmic sundial]

What that person said + credits and xp

As that person said, you can only get 1 of each overclock per week, but you can keep doing deep dives to get more credits and xp

[cloud sentinel]

Do you get minerals? Or are they better farmed in normal missions

[karmic sundial]

No, in deep dives only gold and nitra exists

However huuli hoarders can spawn and theyll give you minerals

[compact bay]

First time doing a DD solo
greeted by a fucking nemesis, followed by the worst cave generation i've ever seen for on-site refinery

amazing start

[unique ore]

skill issue, shoulda chosen driller

[wraith shard]

Where do I go to talk about overclocks because I just found out about magic bullets on bulldog and how it could take out an entire swarm in one bullet

Or does it only bounce into 1 enemy?

Is anyone on?

[rain heath]

pretty sure it only bounces into one enemy, assuming you're talking about the clean. i haven't used it extensively

[wraith shard]

Well I only have 2 overclocks crafted that aren’t fun they just make the gun better

[sharp tundra]

Only bounces once. Still good

[coral pond]

Pair magic bullets woth explosive and neurotoxin upgrades = damn good secondary

[wraith shard]

I want all the overclocks I can get but I don’t have many and I don’t use driller at all

I mainly use engineer but I switch to scout or gunner from time to time

[idle prawn]

they should make a plague hart drink

[gloomy frost]

I cant typebin drg chat again

I have been imprisoned in the deep dive drop pod for days

[dire dune]

why can't join Vc's

#welcome-and-rules

[nova marten]

anybody else not getting any cores (blank or matrix) from deep dives? the games doesnt give me any for basic or elite.

[silent zealot]

how in the world am i supposed to get roles here?

i have already tried reaction roles in #welcome-and-rules

[unique ore]

ok? and you have the driller role now

[silent zealot]

i know, and i dont know how

ive selected Engineer, and Xbox / Microsoft

[unique ore]

select it once, select it again and it will remove it

[silent zealot]

doesnt work

[coral pond]

just bot being stupid ig

[silent zealot]

they do that from time to time

but i cant join any mc/xb voice channels so im slightly annoyed

😆

[slate anchor]

hey guys in the breach the core assignment where you get 6 infused matrix cores, does it give them for the class you were playing when you did the mission for the assignment or is it random? because now that I've prestiged engi I was leveling up my gunner and after doing a mission for this assignment I've just gotten a gunner overclock. was this a coincidence?

[coral pond]

random

they're always random

[slate anchor]

oki thank you

[fierce lark]

why am i not able to send messages in drg chat

[daring sandal]

does anyone else encounter high ping issues, or when hosting other players are experiencing high ping

seems to happen in drg mostly, other online games not as much

figured i'd ask here since it's kinda worse when you're on stage 2-3 then get disconnected

[slate anchor]

not really I tend to have 30-40 ms on close missions and 60-70 on medium

[raven carbon]

You only get them once per week even if you repeat the missions

[vale ravine]

since nobody else really gave a full answer: it bounces once only when it hits terrain. If you have explosive rounds, it'll explode once at the point of impact, ricochet, and explode again at the target. If you hit an enemy directly, it won't bounce and will just explode once. Ricochet distance is 5(?) meters so you need to hit the ground fairly close to a bug to get that bounce.

[lofty acorn]

[grand turret]

hey i am not sure about buying this game. it looks pretty nice but me and my friend are struggling because we think it might be too difficult for just 2 players

what do u think about it

is it playable with 2 ppl ?

[loud sluice]

Same problem

[drowsy shoal]

dude...this game has one of the best if not the best community. You can always play with randoms and have as much fun as with friends. This game is DEFFINITLY wort buying. Rock & Stone

[grand turret]

Sorry that I am writing here for questions but I cant write on drg chat. I didnt downloaded the game yet but me and my friend want to start playing together in a few days. I want to know if i can make different accounts so i can try it but dont have more progress than him

[frosty surge]

You can't write in the drg chat because you didn't read the entire welcome

[drowsy shoal]

this game is not focused on progres. You can freely start today and he will join you later. It would be even better, at the time he will join you you will know a few tricks and will help you start easier
