whoever that scout was that left on the first mission of the elite deep dive because you died first, your days are fucking numbered
You can also level one character and then play with another with your friend, that way the characters you play with together level equally
ty
If you dont want to play with randoms the game is also just as playable with 2 people, the monsters scale their hp and spawns with the amount of players in the game. I play with just friends but also with just randoms all the time. Randoms are really friendly 90% of the time
Almost everyone in the community adheres to the Miner Code, so even with randoms you should likely never have a bad game @grand turret
Game accounts for number of players plus there are 5 difficultied to choose from
my partner and i got this game to play together, and while we do play with randos sometimes, we end up doing mostly 2 player as scout and driller, and it's very much playable.
there is a save system you can use, but you'd need to do a lot of juggling if you want to stay always on the same foot. Ultimately, one of you will be ahead in resources/equipment for a time, unless you only play together.
What the fuck are those wall-eyes
Hey I can't write on the main chat, it sends me here what do I do
#welcome-and-rules and assign yourself a role
they do nothing
just a hoxxes bug
Fuck
Deep
Do floatys spawn in deep dives?
it really doesn't matter
The Jellies? Sometimes, it’s biome dependent
Do Elite deep dives give matrix cores?
yep, they give the same rewards as the DD
So does that mean I can do a regular deep dive for a matrix core and then the elite one for another?
Wait when do they refresh?
every Thursday at 12 PM UTC
Check the pins for important info
Just tried and beat my first elite deep dive
that was the most stressed ive ever been playing drg
DD EDD is just for competitive gameplay, just follow your own pace, or you will got burnout
2/3rd of weekly cores come from DD + EDD ._.
My own pace is full throttle 
Hey everyone, im thinking of buying the game but i have 2 questions.
are all the dlcs reskins or do they give extra content,
avg how long does it take to "finish" the game if thats even possible
the dlcs are just skins and outfits
you can "finish" the game when you unlock every cosmetic item and overclock I guess
JustSkins, no real finish, just see how much you like it/if youd stick around a bit, or refund if you hate it in the first 2 hours
Dlcs arent reskin and dont give any extra contents, only skins and drip that doesnt give any stats
The endgame is on your own goals too, but mostly ppl want to collect every overclocks in the game and playing with builds on hardest difficulties with friends/randoms, and having some fun together with ppl, until not realize you already played 1000+ hours, lmao
Yeah DLC is all cosmetic, all actual new gameplay content is free
The game doesnt really have an end point but it would take you hundreds of hours to collect everything, do all the achievements etc

Yippie
Just dont die
Dont do it solo
Having fun and lot of ammo is most important
Just learned, there was 2 pump Jack that was on cliffs
Had to abort cause no driller

Is it impossible or just very painful
very painful
@sick tusk Dunno what that guy is on but DD & EDD are easily doable solo.
Often it is easier because you only have to carry your own weight.
Only advice for solo is to check the missions before you start so you can prepare accordingly.
...
Very painful for new players
kan some one add me on steem my user is wolf
Welcome, new miner - #steam-profile-sharing would be the best place for sharing your profile
also be sure to grab some roles in #welcome-and-rules
anyone want to do a deep dive?
It takes almost that long just to do the barrel related achievements
Dunno who thought it was fun wasting time to kick every barrel in the drop pod
Deep dive is fairly easy, EDDs can be tricky
If you want to have some advanced information to check out builds, see the pinned message in this channel

If you get a group together, you can all do it together pretty quickly.
Don’t think most console players have the time or desire for that the way PC players are more likely to
I’m a console player and I love doing those types of achievements and so do all my friends

Did my first Elite Deep dive 🎉
Vadim
yessir
What the difference between regular deep dive and elite?
The regular deep dive difficulty is hazard 3, then 3.5, then 3.5 again, with fewer total mutators.
Elite deep dive is hazard 4.5, 5, then 5.5, with more total mutators.
I really want to join and help out on deep dives but either it's me hosting and my pals getting random disconnects or me joining a deep dive and getting disconnected at the very end.
I hate how you just instantly get DC'd when there's even a little bit of instability. I want to do deepdives but the amount of disconnects that happen make it nearly impossible. Either I get the deep dive done and my teammates get disconnected, or I get disconnected for joining a deep dive. This happens on missions too. Everything freezes, I can't damage anything, and sure enough I'm hit with the disconnect with no rewards and all that progress lost.
I have had instability that didn’t lead to disconnects at all. Unfortunately I think this is an internet issue
Like, if you’re hosting and no one can stay connected… but when you’re not hosting everyone stays connected except you… it sounds like an internet problem on your end
No
DD is 3-3.5-4
EDD is 4.5-5-5.5
Everyone doesn't disconnect when I'm hosting. Just one or two people, but when I ask about it (mainly my friends) they often refer to it as the same issue that occurs when joining other people's games. If it were my internet, I'd definitely know it since everyone would disconnect at the same time. With other games though, this never happens. I run off of fibre optic internet and never experience disconnects in any other online games I play at all. It's specifically DRG that I always have a problem with.
i think it is actually 3-3.5-3.5 for the dd
Correct
There is no haz4 in DD
My note still written as 3-3.5-4
Its either the devs change the difficulty or someone mess up the wiki
Looking for help
Elite deep dive: Titanic Prize
Been working on it for 8+hours and just can't get it done [scout]
it's 3-3.5-3.5
lf dd or edd group
If you're NA, I can hop on
did this weeks elite dive feel extremely easy to any of you?
It was.
Damn that sucks
I did not like the 3rd area of this week's Elite Deep Dive
I can still feel goosebumps
The dlc’s are new outfits. Depends on what you mean by finished.

I Never had industrial sabotage in sandblasted lmao
fuck, no shields against the caretaker ? that's gonna be a pain
Bring out the gunners lads
at least it will be easy to make tunnels
No idea why I can't write in the main chat, but thoughts on rocket barrage for the hurricane?
I got salvo module first, it was pretty cool but holy fuck I love rocket barrage
#welcome-and-rules and assign urself a role
To write in main
Automod is fucking with my edit on the pinned message
I'm trying to find out what happened
Dang
Trolled
So
This thing
DEEP DIVE 
Region: Azure Weald | Code Name: Abandoned View
Stage 1: **
200 Morkite +
2 Eggs |
Low Oxygen**
Stage 2: **
7 Aquarqs +
Black Box | No Mutator**
Stage 3: **
2 Dreadnoughts (Twins + Hiveguard) +
150 Morkite |
Rich Atmosphere
Shield Disruption**
Aumotod keeps blocking it
How in the actual fuck
Do you get Bosco if you do DD solo
yes
you can turn him off in terminal with his upgrades though
low oxygen and shield disruption 
At least low oxygen is on stage one
Bro
So, here is the thing
Automod dislikes this: Stage 1:
200 Morkite +
2 Eggs |
Low Oxygen
For some weird reason, it keeps blocking me from editing the pinned message to put the DD stage 1
Bro doesn’t like low oxygen on morkite and eggs either
No they dont
God damn low oxygen on sabo this gon be tough
nice terrain tho the sand area's pretty open
Your formatting makes it look like spam.
Managed to complete my first solo EDD as scout.
I figured if I could get through stage 1 the rest wouldn't be too bad
The|| jetty boots on stage 3 were nice||
Any ideas on how i can prevent it? I sent a message on #deep-dive-speedrunning message Explaining im more detail what happened
(edit) Managed to get it right 
Basically, automod is limiting max characters apparently? Like, 100 or so characters lower than discord's max value, weird, but oh well
Holy shit this looks hard
Rival presence when you're supposed to be waiting for the uplink and battery powering up the drop pod like 3 minutes at the same place in haz 5.5 ?
Nemesis likes it 👌
I think the formatting counts for extra chars
Seems like it
Pool floats give you double xp for the season progression pass and gold is basically just currency
Gold is converted to credits upon mission completion, deposit the float into the MULE (also called molly). Mission control will sound off about performance points and have a bit of a winge about whats been deposited
k thx
Fun how locking down main chat makes this channel the overflow for folks who don't grab roles 😦
IS with shield disruption 
Stage 3 EDD is fine just really long. Also had a nemesis spawn right in front of us, not fun.
hai guys!
this week's both DDs are gonna go shang tsung on my ass
burnt out ammo on stage 2
EDD looks fun as hell this week
Sabo with shield disruption and salvage with rival presence
impossible to carry a team that doesn know how to deal with dorito and exploders lol
That's what I'm talking about
tbh only the 1st stage of edd seems tough
DARK MORKITE!
Both this week's DDs might spill weekend of pain if I try and do it with just randos.
I do everything with randos
Same
Same. I host pub lobbies for every dive (both EDD and DD). You'll be fine, might not always have great luck but I've been doing it for the last year and completed every one. The harder ones.... You definitely feel it here and there but I usually just come off mute to coordinate the team and guide greenies. Using my mic as a small price to pay for inquiring a pub Deep dive completion
Still have yet to complete an EDD. Last week we got the closest, dying on stage 3 to the dread
you have to be a bit lucky and get people who know their dwarvish stuff
I try my best to guide them after I've failed once or twice and know the layout, last week I actually had them asking me for advice after a point on, so communication is PARAMOUNT
Im trying to find the remaining 5 morkite but cant find it on stage 2 of edd. Does the black box give morkite?
no
Frick
there is another tunnel leading down after the bb
yeah thats kinda the issue if you didnt have dark morkite
usually allows you to skip 1-2 rooms
also reporting for 4 man run that nemesis does spawn, stage 3
gotta go deeper on stage 2 ig
👍
for some reason, when i press "c" to invite a friend, my screen gets grayer but the friend invite menu doesnt pop up
Did the EDD, last stage is worse than the first
bunker ?
yeah, did you have a driller with you for a bunker ?
oh yeah
but the room with the drop pod had like, 3 snipers, 5 burst + replusion turrets and a ton of bugs
I hate shield disruption
Question: is this week's EDD easier than usual?
gonna be having my M1000 with me
Not really
doesn't look like it . . .
Oh, and I had a lot of problems
I guess lok-1 really is strong
Oh, didn't know it's strong, I don't use a lot of guides, etc...
It's unoverclocked lol, I have no OCs for it
still srong w/o imo
Yeah, better than stubby/warthog
It def helps having range with the turrets in stage 3, IMO
Oh, is a Nemesis a guaranteed spawn oon the third stage of EDD because of the warning?
What’s the deep dive for this week?
.
👀
i fount a error helix
I mean that kinda makes sense. Sabo is at the end. One of the nitra needy missions is beginning. Tho def curious to see how it pans out.
How many resups did y'all use overall /per stage?
About 4
Probably depends on how many people are in the deep dive - it didn't appear for me on solo
4 total?! 💀
Or per stage?
Per stage
Oh ok, that's actually really good.
I usually only use about 1-3 per but we'll see. I know sometimes ya need a few extra. I imagine we'll def be heavy on stage 1
I thought you meant 4 total and I was like jfc, we're in for madness
for some reason, when i press "c" to invite a friend, my screen gets grayer but the friend invite menu doesnt pop up
and how can i promote a character?
I hate to be that guy but you could've googled this.
Reach level 25 then you will receive a promotion assignment. Complete the 4 missions then go to the memorial hall (there's a terminal all the way in the back by the windows). Pay for your promotion (management doesn't give you a raise, they ask for money instead as a thanks)
Not sure on this one tbh
thx 👍
Is this for console?
..... Console doesn't have a C button friend
pc
Mb i play console with a kb/m plugged in
Ohhh, I c😉
But for xbox, as far as i know, if this happens on xbox, then you have to disband lobby
Annoying bug but yeah…
Edd was easier than expected, but things can go south FAST, especially with the blackbox, it's at the bottom of a hole and a freaking bulk can spawn
And then salvage is a gigantic pain, the room is CHUCK full of turrets
Anyone know where’s the nemesis in the stage 3? Cause when I and lads waiting for the pod to open, it just spawn beside the pod and scare the shit out of us
We all felt it’s some kinda of bugs since we’ve explore all caves at that point and nemesis just appeared out of nowhere
I’m pretty sure Nemesis can spawn out of nowhere
maybe? either that or you got a really sneaky one
Holy shit I didn’t know that
just make sure you’re listening closely and you’ll know where it’s at
We didn’t hear any nemesis sound either, it’s really a sneaky one
DRG on N64 when?
For us, it spawned next to the drop pod
We were going around, picking apart the room's turrets
Ah seems like the time when it spawns is random
And I was killing the lootbugs, looking for parts next to the pod when it suddenly appeared
There was one more scout on our team so we kitted it good
I thought nemesis is supposed to be in some kind of programmed fixed route flying never saw it suddenly spawn before
This was nothing compared to the bulk that spawned on top of us while we were making progress with the blackbox
We almost failed because we were caught off guard and three of us got down but scout managed to get into pod
I legit screamed 'oh come the FUCK on!'
Lol
Scouts are good to send ahead in case the swarm doesn't let up, this was how we got the edd two weeks ago
They were yelling through the chat like I was Forrest Gump
Two scouts is a interesting idea, might try it next time
How did you deal with turret in stage 2 without gunner’s shield
They’re annoying and even more with shield disruption
Turrets in stage 3, you mean ?
The rival sabotage and yeah the ones in stage 3 as well
Ok, the beginning sabotage was easy because engi had that wave thingy, you can shoot things from afar with it
And zhukovs might not look it but they are pretty accurate
As for the room full of turrets, once we got in, it was NOT good, 3 of us, me included got downed and the engi was left above, at the entrance of the cave to fight alone
I had IW and engi had a supply pod next to him so I healed myself and the other scout and we started picking apart the turrets, me and him
I rezzed him when he got downed and we took out most of the turrets, once that was out of the way, we made our way to the driller who had died next to the pod, we rezzed him and THAT'S when the nemesis spawned
In general, a scout is pretty good for that room, let the others potshot everything from a distance and the scout goes down and destroys every turret
I think there's also spitballers down there so cryo is an option, zhukov saved our asses REPEATEDLY, it has so much ammo to spare and kill swarmers, set up stingtails and slashers, you name it, extremely useful
I use Zhukov most for close range engagement and choose mod based on that never thought using in on long distance
I used standard assault rifle and boomstick shotgun in this deep dive and find rifle not be able to do much damage to machine enemy and shotgun only useful in close range
So basically the gunner in our team took care of most turrets
Anyone notice the stupid amount of swarmer tunnels on stage 2 of the DD
How is the sabo on the EDD?
Would NTP still be a viable option for the EDD with all the robots?
Or should I take another primary?
Or should I solo as engie and forget gunner?
Shield disruption industrial sabo on this EDD?
Damn
This EDD looks rough
Godspeed miners
For my run (and I assume everyone else's) the caretaker was up on a hill and i could stay down in the valley and shoot upward, which I found to be helpful as there was plenty of cover and his repulsion waves went over my head.
Did the EDD solo
A bulk spawning on stage 2 and the entire first part of stage 3 where I had no ammo was a struggle
But I survived
any shield disruption?
why did edd stage 3 have 3 breeders, 5 spitballers, 2 brood nexus, and 10 burst turrets
edd wasnt too hard this week tbh it looked a lot scarier than it was
man, that was the sweatiest elite deep dive. haven't had a tryhard moment like this in years.
the twins on stage 2:
started stage 3 with no ammo on anyone
are there any abandoned pods
had to run around for like 15 minutes while everyone else was dead. just desperately trying to find nitra while being chased
we hadn't gotten that far yet
it was 20 minutes of people dying, the last guy alive rezzing someone else and repeat
oh, that
I had forgotten the start already. we were just tunneling
the large, dark cavern was extra traumatizing
if you were tunneling, that might explain the lack of nitra
57 deaths
nah, we tunneled at the start
when we got out of the pod to a turrest nest with 0 ammo on anyone
that one single nitra veing saved our asses
ran out of ammo when we got to the next cavern and I ran around while trying to find another nitra veing while being chased by 4 specials and a swarm
huh
do we got different deep dives or something lol
"picked up some tremors on the scanner"
i didnt get a dreadnought
i did manage to go back in time and do past dives
that was likely just swarm randomness
but that was a while ago
im aware
This was very hard elite deep dive
ok so like why are you replying about them
was the last deep dive unusually easy? it wasn't nearly as hard as the current one
I need to go calm down. 2 hours of extreme tryharding and it's 4 am
how tf did u guys have enough nitra to last 1 hr 45 min
did edd, it went to hell when we did black box with swarm and again with the turret room, but we made it
also nemesis spawn while prepping fuel lol
but before we started it at least lol
you need to choose a role in #welcome-and-rules
i got it thanks
we got to deep dive stage 2 and first thing gunner did was run to the black box and start it lol
what the FUCK was that first room on edd stage 3 man criminy
the rest is pretty easy, dw
EDD is a pain
the main room on edd 3... it's big, and it's dangerous
spawn room was actually calm
i don't remember seeing much besides the jet boot crate
Don't think I'll be completing this EDD
with the team i had we all went down a lot, most of us burned iw, eventually i just had to get away from the damn bugs then do driller things to the turret controller
after that and picking up everyone it was pretty smooth besides a surprise nemesis near the end
i wonder if the turret placement is somewhat randomized, with sometimes having a lot of turrets in the spawn room and other times few or none
We didn't have any turrets in the spawn room
all of them ended up in the room with the pod and the mini mules, thank karl it was sandblasted
Jeez black box defense on DD is ridiculous
We were getting jumped by oppys and massive swarms like crazy
Can anyong offer some help for why I'm lagging so badly just sitting in the lobby for my solo games
I have all my graphics on low even my resolution set to 7% but I still get lag spikes, and during missions Ill have a bunch of lag to the point of clipping through terrain.
I'm running on an intel i7 iris core. Using the latest version of it. I don't have lag for any other games I've played.
what graphics card and have you downloaded latest drivers?
I thought this would suffice for that information
I do not know how to check for the rest of that info
that's just CPU, don't you have GPU?
Go on ur computer and hit control shift and escape at the same time and read through the tabs real quick
Im really new to this computer and I have no idea what most terminology means
I can do that though
the task manager?
Oh the info in the performance tab
Ive avoided that tab in the past cause it makes my head hurt
Lolll dw
11th Gen Intel(R) Core9TM) i7-1165G7 @2.80GHz is that it says for cps
Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics for GPU
is that the right stuff
again, apologies for being sort of useless here
Ok so I’m 99% sure that u are using integrated graphics which is basically just having graphics on the CPU instead of having a dedicated graphics card
those sound like things that have been said to me before
The performance is a lot worse then a normal graphics card basically
i knew that much
overheating is also an issue
it was a cheap laptop for school so I grabbed it
So ur kinda screwed unless u buy an external gpu or a dedicated desktop
ouchie
Iris XE is an integrated GPU so there's the issue
anything I can do on the app optimization route
it wont work really well
bye bud, i doubt we'll see you again
Even I struggle to play anything above haz 5 because my graphics card is old, playing the elite deep dive was horrendous for my mental health
<@&296918282403840000> guy trying to write n-word
He succeeded briefly
Have u tried mods
It helped my performance somewhat
I havent tried anything on drg
anyone know this weeks normal deep dive stages?
Stage Primary Secondary Anomaly Warning
1 Morkite x200 Egg x2 None Low Oxygen
2 Aquarq x7 Black Box None None
3 Dreadnought x2 (T+H) Morkite x150 Rich Atmosphere Shield Disruption
thank you so much for your help

2 Morkite x225 Black Box None Exploder Infestation
3 Mule x3 Morkite x150 None Rival Presence
me too ;(
in case you don't know in the future, its pinned
Sounds horrible
At least no lethal enemies
Bro the DD has shield disruption dreadnoughts
Its dd tho, easy
I like fighting dreadnoughts but I suck at fighting dreadnoughts
Got 3 Bulk Detonators on stage 2 of EDD. At least last one was after after i've finished the black box, so i just pressed the button and ran away to the drop pod 😅
Alright I'm here now.
The EDD was easy.
That's my advice.
Haven't done the DD yet.
Uh. You didn't need advice on that anyways.
choose a role in #welcome-and-rules
alr ty
Is this weeks deep dives any difficult
they're tricky
especially rival presence, you need a good team and you need to know the layout so prepared to wipe once, at least
Has anyone a good build for direct damage Flamethrower?
It’s not a good idea to build CRSPR like that, but if you insist, you can go 21331
Just wanted some variety. tried going full damage first with Face Melter 11332, but had clearly too little range.
Now I'm trying 22331 and Fuel Stream Diffuser
FSD doesn’t really rely on direct damage - if anything it can decently apply heat with T2B mod, like you suggested with that mod setup
got 2 during black box and all 3 of us died 💀 so silly
We didn't. at least 30 minutes of that was running completely empty and desperately fleeing the swarm while looking for nitra. the 3 veins in stage 3 saved us when we arrived with zero ammo and were this close from being blasted to hell by the 5 billion turrets in the room
that room was especially fun when my team arrived with zero ammo. I had to tunnel across the room and revive everyone after finding a nitra veing for a resupp
Hey I have a question, what’s the best support class?
Ok thanks
i'm bad, edd took me nearly 2 hours
6 bulks, lots of stingtails, acid spitters and menaces + nemesis in last stage
but i'm gonna push solo runs more
Whats good build for Wave cooker?
Overall or in conbination with which primary?
both
Is there a certain class that people like acknowledge as the best?
No, every class is good
Best at what is a better question
depends on the context, for speedrunning for lowest times solo, scout is a little ahead
For example, driller is the best at wave clear, gunner is great for sustain damage and stationary clear, scout for speed and hvts, engi for hvts, stationaries and lsts, can wave clear in a pinch
Or weaknesses, driller long range attacks ie menaces, gunner's mobility, scout has very little true options for waveclear, and engi has practically 0 self defense
Thank you both so much
I had a pretty easy go of it but everyone's level was in the hundreds. We only had 9 downs, 7 of which were by the same person.
I had a problem where 2 of my teammates rage quit first stage
It’s fine with driller
Edd is fine if you know how to handle rivals and exploders
Its a hellhole otherwise
What’s funny is we ended up failing at the last second on the last mission before the drop pod arrived due to a fucking oppressor lol
Not sure how you guys did that of all things
It somehow killed me. And my other teamate died. He iron willed and made the mistake of going for me instead of the resupply. It knocked him back
anyone manage all the morkite before the last big room of stage 2 edd
Yes
Don’t go into last room not worth it
i mustve missed a crumb
Barely any nitra and shit ton of enemies
I forget
Can repulsion turrets hit you even when you're in a Gunner shield?
I'm thinking of bomb rushing the control pod in stage 3 with a shield but idk if it would work
Actually tbh maybe I should take Driller
A competent Driller is probably more important than a competent Gunner for this one
<@&296918282403840000>
is big bertha a good overclock?
for autocannon it's really good, but compared to other options for gunner it's just good
Meh
this weeks edd was quite difficult lol
Also helps to hit "report". Sent one for ya but glad ya flagged a mod already
Oh jeez, they posted in quite a few channels
how's this week's deep dives?
You're in for a spanking 💀 at least for the EDD. I'm going for attempt numero 4 tonight.
how so?
S1 is rough bc of the unholy triple threat: sandblasted storms + Sabotage + shield disruption
S2 you just start with so low nitra from s1 that it's hard to get your bearings (but not impossible). Lotta stingtails, menaces, got double bulked
S3... I wish I could tell ya but I ain't seen her yet
That being said, I do find it fun and had a couple great teams last night. We were just overwhelmed on S2 trying to get enough nitra to really get going... And then we got back to back bulks. I was going gangbanged by 3 stingtails while being the only dwarf still standing and like no ammo or leftover gunner shield
Looking forward to getting my revenge tho
Stage 3 is actually pretty ez. Nothing too annoying from what I remember
Unless u get a nemesis
Oh that will be a welcome relief then cuz man... We started s2 and I had 250 bullets to my name as gunner... Not a good place to be in
did mod ban me from main chat?
We ignored everything and pushed forward like 3 caves scraping for nitra. Did the black box (pure unbridled chaos... But I loved it... Until the bully said hello 🤣). And it just fell apart after that
I’d recommend bringing a driller focused on heat proc and damage c4 to deal with robots. It becomes much more manageable once you have that
Oh and for stage 2 try to avoid the last cave. Hardly has anything useful in it
Yea I was gonna but we had one so I went gunner.. Then I learned that driller had brought cryo 🫠
I should've stayed driller lol
Probs gonna tonight
Ye host and go driller
Oh I was host. I just usually let others take whatever they feel best with cuz I usually don't care.
I’d honestly recommend the long range overclock tho. Cuz sand biome big af
What I run is range faster heat, faster rof ammo and heat radiance
Lol yup, I had the exact build ready for IS and S3 rivals and gave it up for a level 33 cryo boi who left halfway thru s1 for... No reason
I spent like 5 minutes editing my build... Only to not use it 🤣
Ye idk why ppl so flakey stage 1. Half my team left on it. Which is why we failed last second on stage 3
Yeah for sabotage drill to the top or have engie make platforms and use c4 against vents. Then throw axes at tentacles and flame everything else
Yea idk either. Everyone else on the team was high rank and we were teaching em. Even showed em how to use chat and all that jazz (on console). Then he was playing with c4 in a corner alone and just left
I’d recommend while 1 hack is going on to ready the 2nd hack
Maybe he DC'd... Idk
From what I remember 2nd stage has a painful opening
Tbh the hacks were no problem. We got bodied as a 3man first run (after driller left).
2nd attempt with 2 higher dwarves we got to S2 no prob. We just had nitra issues we never recovered from
Attempt 3: caretaker bodied the 4 man stack but we had a good time. Sadly just had to go to bed
Honestly stage 1 is the hardest. Stage 2 is ok but the black box in a bad spot
Tbh the caves and whatnot were fine. Just no ammo and the black box location was... Not ideal but we managed it with low ammo... Until the bulk blocked our path. If triller had ammo we probably could have tunnel out of there and recovered but no one had ammo at that point lolol
Huh didn’t know there was bulk spawns
Yea, I used all my shields keeping the team up for the blackbox
2 💀
Thinking I should play Driller this time around
Only thing is that I don't really like using CRSPR
But having a Driller that doesn't know how to terraform or use satchels on Caretaker sounds really rough for this EDD. Or even worse, a Driller that leaves
used burning hell mole, tedious but ultimately fine edd
the sand is good for building mole holes
Yeah I was thinking burning hell
With heavy hitter
Or maybe overcharger I'm not totally sure
is Jumbo Shells good, how build?
Just got kicked from an EDD for saying the driller host using an entire resupp for the caretaker was a waste of ammo 👼
I want to buy the game but is it worth it? I usally pay for games that I would spend 50+ hours on
To make my question easier I am wondering if the game has story and can you play it forever I heard the mission world have different seeds
question for #drg-chat , but no story, its more roguelite
can someone help me with the roles? im pretty sure i got them when i joined but now they're gone and i cant use #drg-chat
ok i found it
There is not a lot of lore or story, but the gameplay loop is really good, enough to make every run not feel repetitive, u prob have enough content for those 50 hours
btw no one found weird the deep dives for xbox were the same as last week, I wonder if they updated it.
Haven't heard about it, no. Usually means the host hasn't restarted the app
I played with like 6 people yesterday all of us played the same deep dive, might check later or see if I missed an update or something idk shit was weird 
Huh that is weird... Did you host any?
Any suggestions for dealing with disconnects? It's hard enough to deal with shield-disruption-caretaker and sandstorm-double-bulk-black-box but when the others in my squad get disconnected multiple times before stage 2 it just becomes un-fun.
if u are lucky u will have an option to rejoin in the menu, if not, try to rejoin from the host profile in steam
or Xbox profile, don't know where u play
is there anything I can do to prevent the 60 seconds of watching my teammates run in place and need to reload the level?
if you are hosting it could be your internet, or desync issue, I had a weird issue yesterday with a player falling through the map because the terrain was different for him, I think he restated the game but that prob is not related to your issue
it's consistently a problem for all three of us, and only in this game
and every time we're actively talking to each other in discord without the call being dropped
would suggest to change host or reinstall the game, verifying files if you're on steam, maybe report on #bug-discussion to get more help
could also check the #1037308906516521010 pinned message
how do I chat in #bug-discussion?
get roles on #welcome-and-rules
i feel like for this EDD if you can do the first stage sabotage efficiently it will set you up well for stages 2 and 3
being only haz 4.5 mitigates the nastiness a bit
and it's possible to either make plat bridge or dig a little bunker/tunnel above the caretaker to throw c4
usually i like using one resupply worth of c4 per caretaker phase
as driller
which i feel is a good balance between doing efficient damage to the vents while not gobbling up resups just for c4
stage 2 is mostly straightforward, feels like a typical haz 5 mission; mind the exploders and the black box is a bit tough since it's in a hole so the bugs will have the high ground
I just used the rocks to mole caretaker
that's very strong as well
and of course on stage 2 you can get bulks
stage 3 can vary a lot, sometimes there are no turrets in the spawn room and other times there are lots
the main room can be tough to clear out as there's a lot going on in it
finding an opportunity to hack the controller can help a lot
nemesis spawning can be nasty depending on when it shows up
with my playthrough it showed up while we were setting up for the refuel phase so it wasn't too big of a deal to get rid of
Three disconnect in a row on both stage 2 or 3
Already lost any will to do the edd with randoms this time
💀
It’s not
It’s the best use of a resupply in fact
I was on the 3rd mission edd solo, had 0 revives left.
Was setting up the uplink and the second the dome formed with my last hammer hit on the box, nemesis spawned inside it, just at the same spot i was standing. I was insta grabbed and died.
You'll need a class role from #welcome-and-rules
ROCK AND STONE
ROCK AND STONE YEAAAHH
ROCK AND STONE
ROCK AND STONE
what do deep dives give you?
honor and glory
(and also hella money idk abt xp, and matrix cores. iirc, a blank, weapon overclock, and cosmetic for each respective stage completion)
thanks : D
^^
do u get matrix core if it was ur first time promoting
dont you the rest of you love when players leave after getting downed in a deep dive?

Yuuuup
This has a shit ton of nitra
U just use a lot of nitra too
Not after the caretaker.
At least not with my teams so far 🫠
Someone dropped a resupply right after I called one on s1 🙃
So s2 started with...34 nitra and everyone half or less ammo
If it wasn't for s1, I would honestly opt for solo this week but I know I'll get whopped on IS +shield disruption
we ended the edd with like, 5 extra resupplies, theres so much nitra
yeah lots of nitra as long as you dont guzzle it all on stage 1
i went through with a bunch of relative greenbeards and we got through nicely with 2 resups at the caretaker
i think i ended up getting 2 resupplies worth on s1? i didnt look very hard though
yeah fair enough, like i said i didnt look too hard but i was surprised i wasnt totally swimming in it
i mostly just ran directly to the objectives to geto ut of IS as fast as possible
although admittedly i was playing solo so less resupplies needed
i was surprised at the amount of enemies in s2 and s3 for solo though
weirdly high
gunner is probably the play if you do want to solo, i had a decent time of it finding some good cover for the caretaker and just pelting it down with minigun
hello
i wonder if anyone of you had manage to do deep dive solo, never seen anyone do it before
yeah, its fairly common
it is?
id say so? maybe my view is skewed here
solo is easier than coop by a lot
especially for normal DD im not too interested in the amount of time most 4 man groups waste on a difficulty that isnt very interesting to me
the amount of enemy spawns and their hp are both reduced, for bosses like caretaker especially, its more than half
i think there are some builds that borderline cheese solo play but with most builds i find multiplayer easier since i can rely more on what other classes specialize in
how do i get verified to type in drg chat
@atomic glen sorry for pinging you but your active and i need answers
i chose steam but its not showin
get a class role
now we wait for it to show
might take a lil bit, but that should work
should you run blowthrough or electro-chemical rounds on lok 1
specifically for executioner build
No, they are weirdly all on one side. It's the side opposite to the black box.
Unless aquarq generation isn't fixed, in which case ignore me.
I was missing a couple that were in this cave near the ceiling that was hard to see because azure weald dark
But yeah, it was on the side you mentioned
good Overclock mod combo for Drillers Wave cooker?
A 2nd wave cooker
Blistering necrosis for dreads, otherwise I just run ammo.
how mod for ammo?
There is an OC that gives ammo, I forget the name. Damage on the normal mods, boiler ray for t5.
hey everyone im talking thru this channel cause i don't know what other ones to use, so sorry in adance for being annoying 🙂
if we wanna play with people is there a channel for that?
like looking to play or smth?
yes, #lfg-steam and the likes
aah, thanks very much brother!
@burnt sandal umm it doesnt allow me to send messages. same as in drg-chat...
#welcome-and-rules pick a role
thanks man all done sorry for being a pain
no worries
Does tipping loyd save your game?
no
it might have to actually, since it changes how much credit ur character has?
How to gain permission to talk in the main chat?
interesting
11k down the drain
text
#welcome-and-rules read this
Does completing a mission?
yes
outside of that, not sure how the game saves but it's probably periodically being saved in the background
while you're in the rig
it also saves after every machine event collection, cargo crate, loot pack
Ok thanks
hello everyone i try to talk in drg-chat but it says i dont have permission? i just joined so what do i do
Get a role
where?
read #welcome-and-rules
It saves after every purchase
does it matter which union i join?
no
it's just preferences, it has no impact on the game at all
yeah, usually all the unions get their gold objective
how does one use sticky flames properly
i find myself running out of ammo with sticky fuel really quickly...
usually i just burst click my mouse
i dont set on fire 1 glyphid
i just burst fire it
1 damage boost tier and its pretty fine
place a z on the ground in front of you
and stop shooting
do hazzard levels change the amount of extra events there are i.e. loot crate. helm. and machine events or any other useful info on machine events
Resources no, aside from mineral mania/gold rush.
Events chance are affected by mission type/length.
iv heard egg missions are good for event spawns but are they the best?
You can check the wiki for the %, they have a table for each possible event
sweet! thank you
You use cryo instead 
Cryo supremacy
I think its all the same mission wise, but if ur mission is like level 3 cave complexity i think it has higher chance
Why cant I use the drg chat?
Set a role in #welcome-and-rules
How?
Read the page my guy
I need to tell the community that I got the nuclear bomb so they should stay hidden
It has instructions
Low O2 stage 1 and Shield Disruption Dreads...
Honestly a single line will work with slowdown
tbh dreads isn't the worst thing to have shield disruption on
maybe in the normal dd it makes it harder
if it were edd you'd get one shot anyways from min hp
Just beat an EDD for the first time, was pretty nuts
Shield disrup on industrial sabotage is rough but going shard diffractor engi made the difference
Just finished the DD, shield disruption on dreads wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. Honestly the second stage was rougher
hello guys, I'm new in this game and I don't know where found amo and how I can "tame" aliens, please help
you might want to do the tutorial, it teaches you basics including how to find ammo
to tame a grunt you need the beast tamer perk
press 5
You could say that again
Drove me to madness lmaoo
Welcome, new miner. You should read https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/How_to_Play_Guide_for_Deep_Rock_Galactic and be sure you do the tutorial.
Resupplies can be called down by mining sufficient nitra (80 per resup). There’s a dedicated button for calling a resup.
Also, be sure to grab a role in #welcome-and-rules so you can talk in the main channel. This channel is for discussing endgame content (deep dives).
A sense of pride and accomplishment, exp, but no additional matrix cores
whoa, haven't had low oxygen and shield disruption in a long time
Does anybody wanna join a reg deep dive?
literally did a deep dive just now 🤣
I might try it on other classes for the practice
The edd second stage eould be fantastic driller practice
But how do you maintain value as driller on industrial sabotage?
satchel the vents
C4 the vents and overheat the tentalces and patrol bots
yeah
ok, didn't know it had a name 🤣
the magma core EDD from the week before last was a lot worse imo
satchels are extremely good against the vents and make the fight much smoother as long as the driller actually does it
some people make their own cave above the caretaker and drop C4 from the ceiling
other people ask for a zipline or platforms
if you take the aoe upgrade with the satchels you can reach it from the bottom which is what i do on IS
i dont usually use it due to friendly fire possibilities but
works great on that mission type
although going from the top is more damage due to the distance from the ground even with the aoe upgrade
The top of caretaker is easy to reach in this one
??? i found an udidentified object that looks like a cube
drillers have access to literally a flamethrower (not good for electronics), a c4 (not good for electronics), and subtata's explosive reload (not good for electronics)
this edd also has a pit, although not nearly as bad as the magma core one
(the blackbox trying to not be in the worst spot possible)
Its largely a question of safe range for me
Plus heating doesnt really affect warden itself
safe range? you want things to be as close to you as possible so you can beat and burn the shit out of them
Do yall try to ignore hollow bough or is it just me
setting the nemesis, and almost every other industrial sabotage bot on fire will insta kill it
you mean the glyphid warden?
yeah? so use ER and the c4 instead
That an OC?
er is a oc yes
Havent got it yet
just bomb the top vents, which makes it very easy for your teammates
I reckon I'll run sludge pump for ammo efficiency in the later stages
Leave the turret sniping to engineer if I can find a decent one
I found out earlier that the Shard Diffractor can overheat turrets through their shields
you can use the subtata to target snipers though
Ammo efficiency
so you're not going to use the subtata?
I probably will, but engi clearing them is safest and best for team ammo economy
Unless I go for max sticky flame and drill like crazy
If running the sticky flame OC, is it worth running unfiltered fuel instead of extra sticky duration?
Is it called ERR://23¤Y%/?
cuz if yes its an actual thing
its just something, it doesnt give you anything
except xp
I got twins on stage two, is that in the seed or were we just.unlucky?
Since swarm waves can spawn dreads
unlucky
Unlucky

Yeahh
theres also face melter
Dont have it yet
dreadnoughts can spawn like meteor showers
You fuck around the cave and you'll find out
yes
Unless you want more sticky fuels
in other words the swarms' content is not seeded
but like, you already have an over clock on it
Happens
I've already done elite deep dive 4 times
I still haven't completed it
I don't I can't shield disrupt sabo is just evil
T2A is pointless
It doesn't affect the sticky flames' damage
And aside from facemelter all of the other flamer OCs rely on sticky flames
I'm coping so hard rn
Gotcha, I kinda thought
Also triple filtered fuel doesn't apply on sticky flames either
Yeah I honestly feel like Deep Dives shouldnt have random dreads
I can help you do it if you want
Now?
yes
Gimme a zec
Can't use mic though
Sec
ok
k
I had one spawn on an otherwise decent run and it soaked up so much ammo we had to do the last third if its health melee only
Also I could help in about ten minutes or so if yall dont mind waiting
np
wanna host ?
No my internet sucks
i'll do it then ig
Hear me out, what if the gunners ziplines could carry carryables like the gold chunks jadiz junks ect
Doable in theory but dwarfs can do it as well
Hence why mission control doesn't care 
Is it elite?
yes
Fuck it we ball
Rip
@leaden cypress I CANT MOVE
bruh
Try launch it gain?
I'm aborting the lobby
Sorry mate
np

I'm waiting to see you on the list
oh yeah
Did someone else join
kicked him
Not showing up
My stem profile is in my discord profile
you should be able to join me

Started doing my promotion on gunner, my last one and everyone has 1 star. my god is he fun
just hold m1 on swarms and they run away/die
easy EDD this time
I even forgot that it was EDD
During Caretaker I was thinking it's an Haz 4 mission and used all 4 slots of resupply for C4 😂
Finally got past the black box on DD which I lost to 2-3 times
Turns out digging the box into a hole and bunkering is easy mode lol
bunkering 
wr did that first try with a bit of clutching
all you need is a escape route
Dig your way out once done. Dunno why I didn’t think of doing it earlier
Elite deep dive?
elite deep dive was easy
Easy when prepared yeah
And I'm sure with experience as well, was pretty rough as a first edd
For the elite deep dive, if the map stay the same, the black box was in the middle of a giant hole, which made it us sitting target for the bugs
If the engineer use the Platform to cover up most of the hole, will the funnel the spiders to come in from 1 way? Or they’ll just spawn inside the hole
O
Ngl
That EDD was way easier than I expected
Granted I had a great team
Only used three resups total for stage 1 so we had no ammo issues during stage 2
Stage 3 was a little rough until we hacked the control pod but it was a breeze after that
Happy to finally see Industrial Sabotage in the cycle tho
Caretaker terrain was great too
Tm8s just left so it was just 2 including me doing the dd
Whats the elite dd i cant find the pin
Do you guys think its easier to do EDD by yourself or with a full team? Assuming everyone is at the same skill level in the team
Depends tbh
Some tm8s dont know what to expect so soloing is better sometimes
I say if theyre good on there class and know what to expect 100% a team
ELITE DEEP DIVE
Region: Sandblasted Corridors | Code Name: Purified Trench
Stage 1: **
Industrial Sabotage +
150 Morkite |
Shield Disruption**
Stage 2: **
225 Morkite +
Black Box |
Exploder Infestation**
Stage 3: **
3 Mini-mules +
150 Morkite |
Rival Presence**
that sounds mad easy
Yeah, plenty of morkite mission
I think Im gonna try soloing it cos it seems kinda chill. Wont need to worry about using ammo hungry build either
I miss the days of being able to drop resupplies within inches of eachother
I created walls of resupplies for bugs to crawl over
im preapering a normal deep dive ¿who wants to join?
lol
Edd blackbox in hole and 2 bulk detonators
Tomorrow i will do the edd, i got the dd done tonight 
You'll have better luck in the lfg channels. This is for discussion rather than finding a team.
Based on your profile I think #lfg-xbox-microsoft is what you want
Thanks
Guys I’m going on my first deep dive, and I don’t know what to use for gunner, as I find haz 5 hard
Well deep dives are just haz3
Unless you mean elite deep dive.
Then it is haz5.
In which case. Just practice normal haz5 games and you should be fine on elite dives.
Lmao.
Nah.
DD - 3
EDD - 5
Each mission also gets slightly harder so it gets into decimal hazards...
But that's complicated.
Basically a normal DD is just Hazard 3.
And there's no secondary objectives. There's 2 mandatory ones.
And you keep your ammo, hp, nitra between missions.
Simple overall.
In my opinion.
But good rewards.
EDD is 4.5 on 1st stage then 5.5 after
DD is 3 on 1st stage then 3.5 after
Nope
So why do them?
Basically you'll be doing the dives for cores.
And you'll want to do both dives.
To get all 6 cores
This
And when do they change?
Thursdays
Every week?
Thursday every week.
So you get 6 cores every week from dives alone
Is there no other way to obtain cores?
