deep-dive-discussion

[jagged rapids]

...I think. Can't recall, haven't done the weekly in a while tbh 😅 I just do dives for fun at this point

[cunning plover]

So DD gives you 3, 1 random overclock core, 1 random cosmetic core

And 1 blank core

[jagged rapids]

Yes

And the elite will offer the same

[cunning plover]

What do you do with blank cores, and how do I check how many I have?

[jagged rapids]

Blank is how you craft overclocks

[cunning pond]

Although you order you get them in is
Blank, weapon, cosmetic.

Which matters. In case you die earlier.

[jagged rapids]

It will show with your resources in the space rig

It's on the top right

Looks like a little PDA device

Sadly can't send a screenshot in this channel

Not sure why actually

[cunning plover]

What’s the PDA

[jagged rapids]

Lol ok maybe I'm old

[cunning plover]

All I see top right is my level and money

[jagged rapids]

Then you might not have any

[cunning plover]

I though I got a few for free from promoting

[jagged rapids]

Tbh I can't say... I know you get 1... Not sure what the rest are. I get different rewards bc I have no overclocks left so idk what the rewards are supposed to be tbh

@cunning pond you know?

[cunning pond]

Hold on.
I was memeing in general.
What's going on??

[jagged rapids]

What are the promotion awards they added last season?

Is it just the same as dive rewards?

[cunning pond]

I know you get 1 of each core for promoting.
So yes the same as dives and the weekly.

[jagged rapids]

Ah ok. Thanks

[cunning plover]

So what about the thing I find on missions that says you need cores

Like the trilolite deposit

[jagged rapids]

That's what you use blank core on as well

Once you use a blank core to get a cosmetic or weapon OC, you can craft it in the space rig

[cunning pond]

Oh that's the machine event.
You stick the key in the core infuser.
Then you turn on the event.
You beat the event. (Important)
Then you stick a blank core in the core infuser.

[jagged rapids]

If you have no blank core, you won't be able to get an overclock from those events

[jagged rapids]

This

[cunning plover]

What about the key

[jagged rapids]

You still get credit and XP rewards tho so still do turn

[cunning pond]

The key you will always have on you. You get it upon promotion.

[cunning plover]

How do I get those

[cunning pond]

Its reusable

[cunning plover]

I don’t lose it?

[jagged rapids]

Yea you get the key ONCE

And you never need to get it again

So if you already promoted once, don't worry about the key. Focus on blank cores

[cunning plover]

Wait so the things in the forge are Overclocks I can already craft?

[cunning pond]

that's why new players who haven't promoted are even more confused cause they can't even turn the damn thing on

YES

[jagged rapids]

Yea

[cunning pond]

you OWN THEM
now you just need to MAKE THEM

[jagged rapids]

You just have to pay for them

[cunning pond]

(They're expensive)

[jagged rapids]

Management ain't your friend

[cunning plover]

Hooray (I can barely afford upgrades)

[jagged rapids]

Choose wisely. I'd recommend focusing on weapons first

[cunning plover]

Ok so

[jagged rapids]

Cosmetics are far less important until you have all the weapon overclocks

[cunning plover]

Blank cores: use in machine events to get Overclocks

[jagged rapids]

Plus there are way more (I have all weapons and all cosmetics but I am STILL crafting the rest of the cosmetics)

[cunning plover]

Then they go to the forge and I can craft them for a lot of money and resources

[jagged rapids]

Correct

So you're main grind should be getting BLANKS and WEAPONS

At least that is the recommendation. Do as you please of course

[cunning plover]

So the DD give me 2 Overclocks ready to forge?

[jagged rapids]

Yup.

1 weapon and 1 cosmetic

[cunning plover]

And how does the overclocks I get for weapon Overclocks work

[jagged rapids]

But yet again, they are expensive so it's best to focus on just crafting weapons

[cunning plover]

Is it for weapons I don’t even have fully upgraded

Or just weapons that can actually use them

[jagged rapids]

It is random and doesn't matter

You don't even have to have the weapon unlocked/purchased

[cunning plover]

So I can get an OC for a character I haven’t even touched

[jagged rapids]

You WILL get OCs for characters you may not play

It's completely random

[cunning plover]

That’s a great mechanic! (Im going to kill myself if I get one for engineer)

[jagged rapids]

Game could give 2 poops what you main

Nah, you should try and get used to every character

[cunning plover]

I do I just

Am not high enough level

[jagged rapids]

The best players understand the loadout of their team

[cunning plover]

For the last upgrade💀

[jagged rapids]

Fair enough. You'll get there, don't worry about it yet

You have no control over it anyway

[cunning plover]

Oh well

Anyways

Thank you guys so much

[jagged rapids]

Part of the journey

[cunning plover]

For clarifying this information

I was so lost

[jagged rapids]

No problem. Thanks Anime too

[cunning plover]

And prepping for EDD

For now I’ll stick to DD so I can get a few good OC and then try EDD

Any OC I should look out for?

[cunning pond]

I was insane so I played a lot and promoted like 3-4 times a week.

I got every weapon OC pretty quickly.

(This was back in the day before the promotion core patch.
But there was a promotion core bug. Basically the same thing we have now.)

[cunning pond]

Too many to name.
Lots of fun ones.
Lots of good ones.

... Lots of questionable ones.

[jagged rapids]

This is the path I took. You'll want to get comfy with haz 4 and 5 for EDD tbh. 5 isn't a REQUIREMENT but you'll be at a disadvantage many weeks without the haz5 training.

For example, I only play haz5 and this week's EDD is still kicking my rump

[cunning pond]

I thought this week was pretty easy. 💀💀

Depends on the person tho.

Hey. As long it isn't in hollow bough or magma core.
It's usually fine for me.

[jagged rapids]

Yea this is all down to opinion. You can ask in #drg-chat but asking something like that usually devolves into a giant debate sadly

[cunning plover]

I play only Haz 4

[cunning pond]

DON'T ask what OC is good in drg chat.

Unless you want to create.

ABSOLUTE CHAOS.

[cunning plover]

And I tried Haz 5, I felt like I had not enough damage

And bullets

While getting harassed by mini bugs

So I put thorns on

[jagged rapids]

I wish I could say the same. I'm 0 for 7 or 8 at this point but I host all-welcome pub lobbies so there's always risk which I accept given I get no great prize anyway at this point

I'm just in it for the chaos and the "I did it"

[jagged rapids]

Time and practice miner. I got rocked my first few months of trying haz5

Now it's all I do

[sharp tundra]

You can’t escape

[jagged rapids]

Lolol yea really tho

[cunning pond]

I only join pub games.
We did it first try.

Honestly the hardest part was I chose Cryo driller by accident

[cunning pond]

NOOOO
GO AWAYYYY

[sharp tundra]

Um akshually you should have just not unlocked cyro cannon since it’s so ass

[jagged rapids]

Man, wish you were on my team. This dive is the most I've come off mute to coach my team

Had young gunner throwing shields and IW for no reason in my run this morning.

After 2 attempts I had to sign off bc...I can only coach so much

Well that and the dog was about to pee on the rug lol

[cunning pond]

The engi and scout were pretty new.
Around level 50 but we had a level 800 gunna.

Me and him basically did the first stage.

I phase skipped and he shot it up to hell.

[jagged rapids]

You know you've tried too many times when you can literally tell your team what to expect for each stage

[cunning pond]

"There's a hole here."

Gunner:

[jagged rapids]

And where to fight

[cunning pond]

[cunning plover]

Umm this might be dumb, but is any class particularly good at DD

Or haz 5

[jagged rapids]

Me: wow we survived the horde, niceeeee
Gunner: throws shield
Me: ....why? There's no one here

[jagged rapids]

Everyone can do it

Yet again, opinion question but every class is haz5 ready and dive ready

It's down to comfort

[cunning pond]

What class is good haz5?

Whatever class you're good at.

[cunning plover]

I still don’t understand each classes purpose really

[jagged rapids]

That's why my lobbies are run "whatever you feel" bc it's best to have newer players with what they understand best rather than forcing them into a particular role/loadout

[cunning plover]

I just picked the gunner cause he had a mini gun and a rocket launcher💀

[cunning pond]

[jagged rapids]

Tbh this is probably better taught via YouTube rather than typing

[cunning plover]

Any video recommendations?

[cunning pond]

You under estimate my free time.

[jagged rapids]

This channel was super helpful for loadouts when I first started:
https://youtube.com/@siirvend

This guy is fantastic for driller (and a couple scout videos with his friend):
https://youtube.com/@DrillingInTheNameOf

[cunning plover]

I though gunners role would be easy since it’s just killing but idk what Mods to put in the leadstorm

[prisma mantle]

oh man

[cunning plover]

Or the hurricane

[prisma mantle]

that last room in 3rd stage EDD

sure was something

[cunning pond]

I don't actually watch drg content.
So I can't help ya there

[cunning plover]

I like both of those guns

[cunning pond]

As in hard or easy

[jagged rapids]

Once you're like ready to get into the weeds (aka mid-maxing your build):
https://youtube.com/@GamingExistence

And

https://youtube.com/@LazyMaybe

[prisma mantle]

hard

like

went into the room

3 breeder 1 nexus 1 spit ball

with an abundance of bots

no idea how we made it through

[cunning pond]

Man I'm not gonna lie.
I thought the last mission was the easiest one.

[jagged rapids]

And this guy has some of the best overall newbie content tbh:
https://youtube.com/@TheLegendOfFLG

[cunning pond]

But-
You're right.
It had all those things.

[jagged rapids]

Sorry lotta links

[cunning pond]

Now that I'm thinking BACK on it.

Yes it sounds fucked up

💀

[jagged rapids]

But hopefully helpful. These are all the folks I learned from to get to where I am today (outside of Reddit and discord of course)

[prisma mantle]

we were just

[cunning pond]

But I Vividly recall typing.
"are you sure this is an EDD" in chat cause I thought it was too easy.

[prisma mantle]

stuck in that walk way

for a very long time

[jagged rapids]

Lol true

[prisma mantle]

also our driller was chinese and i dont think bro understood anything we said

[cunning pond]

LMAO

[prisma mantle]

he jumped off into the hole

and died

so we were running 2 man

trying to kill stuff

[jagged rapids]

Like a boss?

[prisma mantle]

for like 10 whole minute

[prisma mantle]

he just did nothing and died

oh yeah our engi also left early

forgot to mention that

[prisma mantle]

it was gunner scout (me) and mr clueless driller

[cunning pond]

You know.

I'm starting to think maybe both of you just get fucked up lobbies

[jagged rapids]

There we go. All in one

[prisma mantle]

it would have been a lot easier

if driller wasnt basically a bot

and we had engi

[jagged rapids]

Kinda. Nitra screwed us over every time on s2

Some of my teams were great but we got into S2 with no ammo and never rebounded

[cunning pond]

I do remember there being some nitra problems but I was driller so

Lol

[jagged rapids]

And the fking stingtails

[prisma mantle]

we didnt have any ammo issues actually

since 3 man team

[jagged rapids]

I was getting GANGBANGED BY STINGTAILS AND I DID NOT CONSENT

one of them brought his bulk friend

...I did not like it

[cunning pond]

Oh another thing I heard about

[cunning plover]

Any one know any good loadout ma for the leadstorm or hurricane, without OCs💀

[cunning pond]

bulks.

We did not get a single one my whole run

[jagged rapids]

I wish I hadn't... Bc that bulk told his mom after we killed him... And she showed up too

🙃

[prisma mantle]

dont remember what i run lemme open drg up

[cunning pond]

I got the perfect thing

#drg-chat

[prisma mantle]

tbh #drg-chat doesnt help half the time lol

[jagged rapids]

I just sent you like 5 channels to check out. Sirvend definitely has 5 loadouts per class

[cunning pond]

They for sure don't when I'm there

[jagged rapids]

He has a video of his top 5 loadouts per class, one video per class

[prisma mantle]

i run 32111 on hurricane for burn most of the time

i love burning shit

with rockets

though 22112 is also gaming

probly not optimal but they sure work for me

btw does anyone even run tier 3 fire rate?

[warped veldt]

i think its important to know that the meta for pub lobbies can be pretty different compared to organized teams

[prisma mantle]

For lead storm i run 32323 or 32223

[warped veldt]

a lot of ocs do way better when you cant rely on certain classes to hold their own

[cunning pond]

Ngl.
I've been reading your name as nerd this entire time.

[prisma mantle]

tier 4 is basically between B or C

[jagged rapids]

Huh... Guess I've never had the chance. I run pubs only (no friends that play) so I just do what I do

[prisma mantle]

for personal preference

[cunning pond]

Apologies 🙏

[prisma mantle]

i run B though since its a lot more flexible imo

[warped veldt]

👍

i guess the main difference is that generalist builds do better on pubs because they let you win more consistently

[cunning plover]

For what?

[prisma mantle]

lead

[warped veldt]

but with a good team you really want to specialize in something

[prisma mantle]

DoT in pub is

mfw that random scout just waste ammo to shoot a bug that's already on fire

[warped veldt]

yeah thats another thing

[cunning pond]

Cooperation is half trust.

[jagged rapids]

For example my go to driller is a CC cryo build

[warped veldt]

you can still win with anything if you try hard enough, but relying less on your random teammates makes the run a bit easier

[prisma mantle]

getting good team mate is like

a pleasant surprise

[jagged rapids]

True true. My haz5 lobbies are very much just "fk it, we ball" I guess

[prisma mantle]

more than a basic requirement

the driller i was talking about earlier

bro was getting chase by 4 prae

[jagged rapids]

But that chaotic mentally is what I live for and usual what my team is down for

[prisma mantle]

and he went up to the drop pod to depo

[jagged rapids]

Chad

[cunning pond]

I can probably win with pickaxe only if you give me 200 hours.

[warped veldt]

one time i did a normal deep dive with just power attacks for damage

red rock blaster goes hard

[cunning pond]

The run will be an hour long.

The other 199 is cause I'm bad

[jagged rapids]

You mean skull crusher? Red rock is the health beer

Skull crusher is the power attack recharge one

[warped veldt]

yeah i mean slayer stout

skull crusher is non power attack damage

[jagged rapids]

Ohh wait do I have em mixed up?

[cunning pond]

Labels don't mean anything anymore

they're just words

[jagged rapids]

Ah ok. Can never remember the names for the 2 melee beers, just the icons.

Whenever I see either I know we in for a good time

[warped veldt]

i mix up red rock and slayer stout because their icons are both red

[jagged rapids]

Top 2 beers imho

[cunning pond]

I honestly don't* even remember them.

[warped veldt]

rocky mountain can be just as good if you arnt driller

and no sandblasted

[jagged rapids]

I just remember the one I love the most is the red icon thats the smallest

Which is...slayer stout I guess

[cunning pond]

the melee ones I mean.

I can recall the others.

you could switch slayer stout and skullcrushers name wise.

And it'd still make sense

[jagged rapids]

Ok .. Does anyone else feel that backbreaker is actually the most USELESS beer?

Cuz... Who carries anything? Just throw it

[warped veldt]

yeah

it should make you throw things farther that would be nice

[cunning pond]

Personally I hate Dark Morkite the most. But that's cause I love playing Mining Expedition.

[jagged rapids]

At least dark morkite has a mission specific benefit. Pots of gold... Cool I guess... Backbreaker?... I was never gonna carry this aquark you foool

[warped veldt]

i like dark morkite on deep dives in case cave rng decides to put half the morkite in the final room

[jagged rapids]

YEEEEEET

[jagged rapids]

Exactly. It has a chance to shine here and there. There never a great excuse for spending on backbreaker

I ignore pots of gold.... But I legit roll my eyes at backbreaker and reset the lobby

[warped veldt]

the mug is really cool

ngl

thats my reason for buying it

[jagged rapids]

Huh ... I've dodged it for so long I don't even know what it looks like 😅

I legit will not buy it

I'll buy any other beer here and there. But that one... Not in like a year have I bought it

[warped veldt]

i have so many beer materials that ordering them is effectively free for me

[jagged rapids]

Needs a rework or to be removed imho

[cunning pond]

They're basically free to anyone who's played regularly lmao

[warped veldt]

unless you order beer every mission

[jagged rapids]

It's on principle for me 🤣 if someone else buys it, I'll never turn down a beer but if it shows up and I'm buying.. oily oafs it is

[cunning pond]

I only join games.
Not host.

So I don't actually get beers often

[jagged rapids]

If you didn't know, you can drink a beer and late join a game

It's something a lot of folks forget /don't know

[cunning pond]

Yeah but just for myself.
Seems like a waste

[prisma mantle]

Most folks just don’t bother tbh

[cunning pond]

Not the same without the boys

[jagged rapids]

Yea I wish cost scaled better

Why is 1 beer and 4 the same price

[cunning pond]

Carpool discount

[prisma mantle]

That’s a lot of time just to jump into a late mission

[jagged rapids]

When it's 4 beers, feels like a DEAL. When it's just you... Feels like you're getting robbed

[jagged rapids]

Drinking a beer takes seconds?

Tho tbh I usually forget or ignore too

[prisma mantle]

That’s a few seconds more than just hopping straight into a mission

[jagged rapids]

I've just come across a lot of players the didn't know it was a thing

[prisma mantle]

Also

There’s a chance you might just

Get kicked or something

I’ve had that happened

[jagged rapids]

Lol I'm on PS. We are lucky if we can successfully join a mission as of late

Devs haven't fixed the joining bug that started last season

Aka, I've got time

Tho it's not everyone

[cunning pond]

The PS has been filled with people trying to join games.

That I can deal with.

I cannot deal with parents

🗿

[jagged rapids]

Parents joining games?

[cunning pond]

In the chat

[jagged rapids]

Ohh on discord or in game?

On discord? I helped the last parent yesterday and today

[prisma mantle]

Parent?

[cunning pond]

Yeah.
I'm not trained for that

💀

[jagged rapids]

Lol fair enough

I am

Literally teach things all day in my job

Even tho I'm not an actual teacher

[cunning pond]

@jagged rapids tell'em

[jagged rapids]

For kids at least

[cunning pond]

Its too awkward for me bro

[prisma mantle]

Wow

That’s

Parents on discord

That’s something

[cunning pond]

🗿

[prisma mantle]

My mom tried to friend me on discord once

[jagged rapids]

Lol I was shocked too but yea

[prisma mantle]

And that was very awkward

[jagged rapids]

Psssshhhhhh my mom ain't getting my discord ever

I mean... My username would already be a whole conversation

Mum it's a jokeeeeee!!... Sorta

[cunning pond]

Oh.
My mother already has me added

[jagged rapids]

Oooooof

[cunning pond]

I don't have a problem with it.
Not like I got anything to hide.

[jagged rapids]

True true. For my it's just about personal space

She can have my Instagram... But my discord, no need. Not happening bc why?

[cunning pond]

[jagged rapids]

Also sadly gotta head to bed but night miners good chatting with y'all 🫡

[cunning pond]

Remember to wake up

[jagged rapids]

I try not to but this dog doesn't let me 🥲

[prisma mantle]

My mom would definitely try to join some discords server that I’m in

Which at that point

Would be kinda awkward

For all party involved

[wraith shard]

My parents hate video games so they'd never

[cunning pond]

Normal parents I'd say

[prisma mantle]

my mom bricked one of my monitor earlier

because i was playing DMC V on a saturday

its awesome

[cunning pond]

💀

[wraith shard]

Like

Normal bricking or

She tossed a brick at your monitor

[prisma mantle]

half the screen is dead

im using it rn actually

[wraith shard]

[prisma mantle]

she tossed a phone at it and then punched it

[cunning pond]

Half of it*

[wraith shard]

What in gods name

Huh

[prisma mantle]

average asian mom tantrum

it is what it is

[wraith shard]

Ok my parents hate video games but they at least pretend to love me

They'd never go that far

[prisma mantle]

i know my mom loves me

but she's fucking asian

and its annoying as hell

[wraith shard]

[cunning pond]

My mother does this thing where she just stands in front of whatever monitor I'm using when she wants to have a conversation with me.

[prisma mantle]

im like

right in front of my monitors

so she cant really do that

she'll just stand to the side and stare at me

because i didnt put away some clothing or some shit

[cunning pond]

Should've put away the clothes

[toxic sable]

erm why cant I say stuff in #drg-chat sry if irrelevant

[cunning pond]

Class role from #welcome-and-rules

[toxic sable]

oop thanks

[cunning pond]

[untold holly]

Is fighting 3 dreadnaughts at once a fun way to practice for deep dive missions or is there a funner way?

[cunning pond]

I don't think you need to do anything crazy to do a deep dive.

Just be able to play haz3 consistently.

If you're doing an elite dive.

Then just play haz5 consistently

If you're trying to do even more practice maybe join game with modifiers like low O² or lethal enemies.

[karmic sundial]

I never played haz5 and did like 2 deep dives already

DD arent all that hard. just long

[ancient cove]

Elite Deep Dive

[karmic sundial]

yeah, i meant elite deep dive lol

EDD and DDs arent hard with a 4 man

[forest bloom]

this week's elite dives last stages goes crazy man

died 2 times with on the last stage

I guess I'll just skip this one

[ancient cove]

What, easiest EDD since weeks

[raw plaza]

hey sorry but i need to dump this hear for something i saw literally saying you should save scum 5 seconds in to get the overclock you want to have fun. SINCE WHEN DID OVER CLOCKS MEAN THE DIFF BETWEEN FGUN AND THE GAMEPLAY ??

ya know something when overclocks which are literally meant to be the WHOLE REASON for the end game grind you are trying to cheese and tbh ive been playing since update 4 back in the day and overclocks as "fun" as they arte break and make the game too easy too fast and turn the game from fun and relaxing. to meta/speed running. honestly. i like the idea i hate what the hardcore players have turned it into then a little fun part then a literal core you "NEEED" to do anything and honestly im kinda sickened to see that in such a great game that the community is literally the that if things that make this game literally only a little easier in the long run be meta i fear for what this community will become.

[ionic bloom]

copium

[raw plaza]

i guess but its reallllly sad people are going to this leevel in a pve game for literal micro points of differences in a pixel ame meant to be hard and rewarding... then again. some people need to stop playing and go touch grass like most i see who legend grind in 3 weeks for clot

i honestly will laugh if it gets so bad that the devs say no and rip out overclocking and they can. its a idependent system to the base game a added on system. it literally doesnt effect the base game.... but like you saud geeky sooo many huffing the copium

[weak crater]

Just don’t get overclocks then 👁️👄👁️

[wary grove]

yo how do i invite ppl from here to deepdives?

[raw plaza]

ya but most people i meet use there overclock lioverary as a clot generation

oh well im complaining to the viod and people will be people. lazy but meh not my place to get bend out of shape unless it really effects my progress.

[wary grove]

pls help

[knotty otter]

how does Executioner work?
like do i need to have 8/8 locks on a target to trigger bonus damage?

[woven crest]

Most people go into the lfg of the console they play on, make a post something like

Lf3
DD
Pod# __ (the pods are the vc channels)

And then they use discord game invites through having steam and discord linked to invite in the same text post and people usually just show up

[sharp tundra]

Yes

[woven crest]

I'm a huge fan of my eraser build for swarmaggeddon, gives me 24? I think? Locks and 1 per swarmer, literally makes it a normal mission for everyone else involved.

Pair it with a bullet hell built gunner and swarmers don't exist at all

Both of those class builds work effectively on regular missions too

[wary grove]

LF3 EDD pod#6 come join

[warped veldt]

i think you should let people play the game how they like instead of forcing your ideals onto other players

[sharp tundra]

Skill issue

[wraith shard]

So, honest question, how hard are elite deep dives compared to normal deep dives?

[vale ravine]

It’s haz 3/3.5/3.5 compared to 4.5/5/5.5 so it’s a significant step up

[wraith shard]

Ah

Okay

[vale ravine]

EDDs generally feel in between haz 4 and haz 5 in difficulty because there’s a lot less random stuff that can screw you over

Still pretty hard though

[ancient cove]

There is enough nowadays

[wraith shard]

Cause I beat a deep dive solo and was wondering if that like a similar difficulty to a full team for edds

[ancient cove]

Bulks were pretty common last few weeks in EDD, then new enemies like Stingtail can be very dangerous in large groups.

[wraith shard]

Yeah

[vale ravine]

Depending on what build you bring, solo can sometimes be easier than 4p

[wraith shard]

I play scout

[vale ravine]

Depends on objectives too

If the dive has a ton of defense objectives, solo gunner could potentially be the easiest way to clear it

[ancient cove]

Who plays solo anyway

[vale ravine]

So true

[wraith shard]

My teammate ragequit

💀

[vale ravine]

If you hold open a lobby for a minute you’ll generally get a full team pretty fast

Even faster if you do it shortly after the dives reset

[wraith shard]

It didn't happen, it was pretty early in the morning

[ancient cove]

Imo playing with randoms is the best expirience you can get from the game

[wraith shard]

Yes

I hate playing solo

[ancient cove]

The factor that you don't know how other players play and what they do, makes it more interesting and often challenging

[wraith shard]

I actually find it easier to play with other ppl

[ancient cove]

Someone can f**k up so bad, that it will destroy your whole game

[wraith shard]

Even if they just got the game

[wraith shard]

True

But that rarely happens in like haz 4, which is what I normally play

[tight grove]

i'd recommend bringing some AoE for EDD stage 2 or the exploders are gonna be a big pain in the rear

[wraith shard]

Does the boomstick with piercing bullets count

[tight grove]

how many enemies do you think you could quickly kill with it?

[wraith shard]

I run double tap, so quite a few

Also phero nades

[tight grove]

anyway, you can expect like 10 exploders to spawn at a time

[wraith shard]

Exploders aren't terrible

[tight grove]

they are when 30 spawn at once, and you get a double bulk dett spawn

[wraith shard]

I suppose facing like 8 billion of them would be terrifying thou

Oh not the bulk

[tight grove]

i have had 3 bulks spawn during one of my attempts

[wraith shard]

I always die to those despite being like cross map

The hitbox is uh, very jank

[tight grove]

i can't even give advice on EDD stage 3 since i haven't reached it yet

[wraith shard]

I don't think I'm ready for the edd yet thou

[ancient cove]

I can't give any advice for this weeks EDD either. I woke up, after we finished and realized it was an Elite Deep Dive and not a Hazard 4 mission 😂

[tight grove]

my EDD attempts so far:

1. we started with an engie that was starting events without asking, and we got spammed to death during the 2nd stage
2. exploder spam + 2 bulk detts at once during blackbox in stage 2
3. failed on the escape in stage 2 because i saw the engie go down and thought i should clutch by reviving the other downed members, the engie was gonna go into the drop pod with iron will to clutch, so i fucked that up by reviving another team member

[ancient cove]

One thing I can recommend. If you play Engi, take Shard Diffractor to deal fast with robots.
I personally played Driller with direct hit, fast ignite build. The build is pretty weak, I just wanted to test it, but it works great to deal with Robots fast, since any Rivals Tech is instantly dead once it's on fully ignited.

And you will have to deal with a lot of Rival Tech in the first and last mission.

For the same reason, Gunner Lead Storm with Burning Hell

Coil Gun with Hellfire doesn't get Robots ignited fast enough, better take Bulldog

with Volatile Bullets

[civic zenith]

Tried the Elite today, Scout left on the last mission.

I go Scout and it goes way smoother.

M1 supremacy.

[oblique thunder]

This EDD makes me feel like I'm not ready to attempt haz 5

[oblique thunder]

a bulk in stage 2 just wrecked our second try at the BB. first try went up to the uplink of stage 3, situated in the hell on hoxxes room.

despite dying constantly and not clearing it in 3 tries, it is a blast to play.

[jagged rapids]

Nah it's a bit tough for me and I only do 5.. if you are comfortable at 4, just slowly work your way in.

Start tossing a haz 5 mission in your daily runs here and there. As you start to get more comfy, add more haz5 and eventually you'll be at the point where you are comfy in 5

But yea this dive.... Not kind for many this week seems to be the vibe

[oblique thunder]

that's what i've been doing, and trying every EDD since 3 weeks. This one is very rough by my standards

[jagged rapids]

Oh if you're just starting EDD there's even less to sweat. When I started EDDs I definitely wasn't getting them done every week. Some weeks I had to admit defeat and accept that it was beyond me

That was like a year and a half ago

After 6 months I was solid and have completed every one for the last year... No matter how much I almost go insane trying lol

Just give it time 😉

Today I'll be trying again and we're on like attempt 9 I think (I lost count 🥲)

[oblique thunder]

oh yeah, that rough ...

[jagged rapids]

Yes indeed but like I said, I haven't admitted defeat in a year and I refuse to end the streak. Only ever not done like 2 dives and I don't count that bc I literally wasn't around (vacay, work travel etc)

But there are definitely ones that almost break me or just flat out humble me whenever I think I'm hot stuff 🤣

No shame in saying "this ain't the one" and skipping a week tho. I know there's often a sentiment of skipping any dive with industrial Sabotage tbh and this is kinda why

Tho I don't mind IS but this one definitely sucks for me

[oblique thunder]

are sabotage always this hard in haz5? They are a breeze in haz 4 and I don't remember one giving me as much trouble as this one in my few haz 5

[jagged rapids]

Usually not

But IS with shield disrupt is always painful. And IS with sandblasted's storms is also a pain on its own

Combine the two?... Mega pain

[oblique thunder]

I forgot it had shield disru, I guess that's what made it such an ordeal for us

[jagged rapids]

Yea shredders just gobble up all your health with chip damage

[oblique thunder]

we managed to get it done with one spare supply the second time, but it was bloody

[jagged rapids]

Nice. If you can get into S2 with a spare resup, that's a good start tbh

[tall relic]

The one silver lining of stage 1 is that the terrain is great

[jagged rapids]

Because after stage one it really feels like nitra is the biggest hurdle

[tall relic]

Some of the best Industrial Sabotage terrain you can get

Also tons of nitra

[jagged rapids]

Definitely up there ya. Sadly only half the room is decent

At least for the caves I've been getting

[jagged rapids]

If you don't burn it all s1 🥲

@surreal path

Reported

[tall relic]

My team managed to get by only using three resups

Think we had 140ish nitra leftover

[oblique thunder]

s1 is low on red sugar for a shield disru, supplies and vampire is what held us

[jagged rapids]

Dang, that's solid

I wish vampire combo'd with the red sugar perk

But I guess that would be OP

Especially for a driller

[tall relic]

Yeah that'd be broken as hell

[jagged rapids]

I will keep dreaming tho 🙏🏿

[oblique thunder]

really? that would give what, ~8hp instead of 5? 9 ? would that be huge?

[jagged rapids]

For driller, yes. Cuz he can regain so much health with the normal vampire already

Especially a cryo driller

Tbh having a cryo driller would make this crazy for any team. Especially paired with either of the melee beers

Yea just freeze a horde, break out da drills and voilaaa, so much health

It's actually why I run cryo driller for any shield disruption missions usually. Not for this dive tho bc of all the rivals

Keeps me and the team at solid health in most other missions or dives

[tall relic]

I still ran cryo for this EDD

Had a heavy hitter EPC for dealing with turrets, and axes for patrol bots

[sharp tundra]

I wish the ceiling was lower for stage 1 that’s my only complaint

[tall relic]

There was a portion of the ceiling lower than the rest

[jagged rapids]

https://youtu.be/VVceSaMlyUA

This video shows how crazy cryo vampire already is

[tall relic]

It's where I dug my satchel hole

[jagged rapids]

At like the 1 minute mark

Alrighty, gotta go. Gonna try for that EDD dub again.

Pray for me lads 🙏🏿 ⛏️

[oblique thunder]

ok, i take the point! I already found vampire pretty cool on scout, but the drills ... 🤑

[surreal turtle]

Edd 1 sucks

Send help

[oblique thunder]

EDD 1 is the appetizer. it gets worse

[white linden]

rock and stone !

[ancient cove]

EDD 1 easy as hell, take fire damage

[lime ridge]

.

[karmic sundial]

I agree

[humble harbor]

they give you like the easiest layout ever for sabo

[ancient cove]

You can shoot from another side of the cave

[tall relic]

Yeah fr I was worried about stage 1 for nothing

[prisma mantle]

hey yall, how many dmg mods do i need to take on special powder bulldog so that i dont miss any break points?

[untold holly]

anyone up for a mission to release all the dreadnoughts at the same time?

with no nitra stocked?

A-grade shitfest fun to order

[kindred axle]

Non OSHA certified activities taking place. xD

[soft fractal]

how to be good scout

[wraith shard]

Shoot flares

[cloud sentinel]

when i play scout i just stay alive, focus on priority tragets and mining stuff

[soft fractal]

i cannot stay alive

i keep falling

[untold holly]

unleash all the dreadnoughts immediately?

[untold holly]

that's unrelated to boosting btw

[stark swan]

wow i have killed 15,568 grunts

[compact bay]

im literally tryna find people to do the deep dives mc
peter griffin lookin' ass stank ass hoe

[nocturne acorn]

Ay y'all sticky additive or sticky fuel

[fallow niche]

both are good

well

sticky fuel is '''meta'''

additive isnt very noticeable

[hushed sequoia]

sticky additive adds 1 second of sticky flame duration, sticky fuel adds 6 seconds of sticky flame duration and adds 5 sticky flame damage

[sharp tundra]

It also adds damage

I wish there was a clean that added range

Or an interesting overclock on the flamethrower

That’d be nice

[karmic flame]

oh my god stage 2 of the deep dive is TERRIBLE

WHERE ARE ALL THE GODDAMN AQUARQS

worst regular deep dive ever

wtf

why is azure weald point extraction even a thing

[gilded vale]

@haughty adder зайди в войс

[olive flicker]

They are all on the side opposite the black box.

[hushed sequoia]

that's why fuel stream diffuser exists

[turbid dawn]

lol

[burnt sandal]

there's always the T1 mod

[pliant yoke]

There is a “clean”, which adds range, and it’s called Fuel Stream Diffuser

[toxic orchid]

is it worth mining gold?

[pliant yoke]

That depends on whether you can find the time to do so in a reasonable time while doing the mission objectives, and/or more importantly, whether you find mining gold fun

I don’t like mining gold unless I’m driller, in which case I will mine it with C4 or with T5B EPC (also so that other dwarves don’t get distracted by it). I make stops to mine gold while waiting for the team to regroup, sometimes, too, but it’s not a hard commit and I often times just stop mining immediately and move on

[toxic orchid]

whats the conversion rate? from gold to credit

[wraith shard]

1 unit of gold gives 2 xp and 2 credits, based off what the wiki says, and it is affected by hazard bonuses, so harder hazards will give more credits and xp per gold unit.

[toxic orchid]

ah k thx

[potent lichen]

rock and stone

[modest apex]

is there some kind of groups, which is trying to get as much plaguehearth as possible ?

Im still new in the game, so I really dont know if that even exist

[toxic orchid]

do do i get bonus anything if i get like more morkite in a mining mission or nah?

[tough skiff]

yeah xp

[karmic sundial]

imo yes, especially if you have pot o gold on ur lloyd/mineral mania

ofc if its like a small vein then nah

but if its a big vein then yes

• in deep dives its worth even more cuz you'll get more xp/credits

[toxic orchid]

I killed a big guy that blew up and there was a huge vein of gold after it blew up so i came out of a mining mission w 900 gold but felt unrewarded

[karmic sundial]

big guy name is crassus,

well if you mine everything and its 900 then you got 1800 credits, if you were on haz 3 then you got another 1350 cuz of the multiplier

1800+1350 = 3150 credits + completing ur objectives

So really, you did get rewarded

somewhere about 5k credits i reckon? which is a lot for one mission tbh

[burnt sandal]

[burnt sandal]

pick a role in #welcome-and-rules btw

[karmic sundial]

How does one become community tester?

[burnt sandal]

Don't really know tbh 😂
I just know we're handpicked by the devs. We're basically bug testers and feedback-givers.

[karmic sundial]

So you just got dm'd by someone and was asked to become a tester?

[burnt sandal]

Personally, I imagine for me it was a mix of :

• translating the game for a long time
• been playing for a long time
• been spending free time helping out people with the bugs for a long time

[burnt sandal]

I had a slightly different experience than most others but from what I know : someone in the tester group recommend a player, the dev who take care of handling testers is checking on them and if they can fit and bring something, they get in.

[karmic sundial]

okay

I got the game at like, june july this year so i dont think i can do anything for the game yet lol

But i have almost 100 hours on it

[burnt sandal]

welcome aboard 😛

[karmic sundial]

Ive been here a while 😁

the main chat is chaotic though, you cant speak there often cuz its so active

this chat is more relaxed

[exotic basalt]

Hello

[violet raptor]

I like morkite

[wraith wigeon]

Can someone host a deep-dive mission which I can join?

[wraith shard]

I still can’t type anywhere else

[tulip idol]

Get a role in #welcome-and-rules

[vague mural]

[grim laurel]

this DD is taking me a normal amount of time

[olive flicker]

EDD was pretty straightforward, I took my sweet time with it, almost 2 hours.

Solo so no major spawns.

[karmic sundial]

2 hours?

oh solo

that makes sense

[ancient cove]

Sabotage solo is slow

[iron walrus]

Anyone got tips to not get absolutely nuked in the uplink zone at stage 3? I was going fine up until that point, but I got overrun really quickly, and lost the dive

Solo scout if that matters

[civic yoke]

could try running pheromone grenades, they can handle a whole swarm enough time for you to killed them

[karmic sundial]

or cyro

[ancient cove]

Scout and uplink is a bad combo

[civic yoke]

could run it on the crossbow and run with cryo too so you can have both

[iron walrus]

Yeah I was running cryo nades. How consistent are the waves/amount if enemies tho? Because I'm looking at someone else's gameplay and just purely judging by visuals, they got like a third of the bug spawns compared to what I had to deal with

[old widget]

also don't be afraid to grapple out of the uplink and kite

at least for a bit, can't fully drop the uplink on a primary objective without failing

[wraith shard]

red balls

[civic yoke]

then try pheromone, throw it to an opressor so they kill everything lol

[iron walrus]

Guess I will lmao

[wraith shard]

i hate when a game server is actually talking about the game

[karmic sundial]

the consistencty is random

[iron walrus]

Yeah I did like 3-4 times to lure the enemies out, but still couldn't make it. The entire uplink zone was full of bugs lmao

[full saddle]

pheromone definitely the easiest way to deal with uplink as scout and just spam resupplies

[spiral badge]

Does the uplink have fall collision (I know the fuel pod does)

If it does, just dig under it until it’s in a nice hole, then have the engie barricade the top of the hole

[civic yoke]

just tell him to bunker at that point

[primal thicket]

Negro

[civic yoke]

what

[spiral badge]

Or bunker it yeah though that takes more platforms

[primal thicket]

Good person

[iron walrus]

I was solo scout bro D:

[spiral badge]

Bruh

[scenic wyvern]

can anyone give advice for EDD stage 1? im really struggling with it

[full saddle]

what class are you and also what in particular is giving you trouble? like what part of the mission

[dense nebula]

despite how brutal the first stage was with low oxygen this actually ended up being my fastest deep dive so far

got the Under 45 minutes achievement

I nearly disconnected at the very tail end of it, i was about to be so upset lol but i managed to reconnect and get to the pod just in time

[stark swan]

why am i still unable to chat or join vcs?

[dense nebula]

You have to select a role in #welcome-and-rules , and currently the bot/system that handles that is very slow rn

[agile yew]

wow the current deep dive was like tailor made for scout

only thing bad for scout is the black box and i mean cmon
its normal DD scout can handle a black box

[pure owl]

if i play driller in a deep dive, I can’t get any rewards for driller right?

[long gorge]

ROCK AND STONE

[cunning pond]

Deep dive Overclock rewards are randomized so if you play as driller, it doesn't mean you will get something for driller specifically except for well xp.

You will however get 2 overclocks (1 weapon 1 cosmetic) and 1 blank core.

So I mean.
Maybe it might be for driller.

Or is that not what you were asking

[pure owl]

idk

last couple of times i haven’t gotten any driller overclocks

[cunning pond]

Oh yes.
That IS because overclock are randomly given
So you can get them for any class no matter who you're playing

[pure owl]

mkay

[rapid stream]

is there anything that sticks out in the edd

[delicate ledge]

Its easier than the normal deep dive this week

[tough skiff]

what seriously? i found the normal deep dive really easy except the first mission this week

didnt try edd yet

[tough skiff]

why not just post a screenshot of your game where it's missing?

edit: aha no images in this channel

[delicate ledge]

Its the first mission I failed the first time I did it (didnt fail the edd)

For me it was easier

Low o2 blows

I need help with deep dives can anyone help me

[opaque heart]

my team is horrible

the driller just sat there

with one minute to get to the pod

and died

[mental salmon]

i just got kicked in a edd for dying

[opaque heart]

bro

what

[mental salmon]

can you imagine being that salty and tryhard lmao

third stage, I cleared out turrets by drillung underneath them and the host named frickke or smth like that kicked me after i died twice in a row

a wave of tryhards joined the game when it was last on sale

[dull bridge]

meanwhile I just build sentries so that we don't get eaten by funny spiders and get wasted with strangers, which I befriended somehow without saying a single word

[mental salmon]

the way it's meant to be played

[cinder horizon]

black box is kicking my ass

[ancient cove]

Don't play alone

[cinder horizon]

true man

[ancient cove]

Instead play with random greenbreads, who just got their first promotion and went directly for EDD 😂

[floral lion]

Im a lvl 22 greenbeard, anything I need to know for when I promote and dive into EDD? 😁

[stable pagoda]

Just do it. If a non greenbeard can't carry you through, what are they doing with their lives?

[ancient cove]

Get a promotion on each Dwarf and play Hazard 4 until it feels like a "normal" difficulty. Then you should be ready for the Elite Deep Dive.

[sharp tundra]

Just double down and do it

[ornate pebble]

can aynone help me with issue,i cant join any of voice channels and i cant write in drg-chat

[livid gust]

Also, they’re screwing themselves? People can’t join mid dive, so they just crippled themselves with saltiness

Whoops, meant to reply to @mental salmon

[mental salmon]

Yea I guess, fuck em
This game is not meant to be tryharded

atleast not in public lobbies without asking beforehand

[livid gust]

Idk- tryharding is ok in my book, but blocking others for not aligning with your style is not.

[scarlet loom]

mfs sometimes have 0 awareness. Half of Hoxxes is creeping down the wall behind them and they keep standing there.

But they can spam that X as soon as they go down, lemme tell ya that....

[oblique thunder]

"Half of Hoxxes is creeping down the wall behind them and they keep standing there." Yeah, that happens way too often to me as gunner. Too static, too focused on what is in front of me ..

[scarlet loom]

At least you are shooting things 😉

[modest apex]

So i had lobby, where we dont get any damage at all and i hd infinity bombs.. what was that

[old widget]

Host was cheating, it happens, just move on

[thick epoch]

If you spam X I will not pick you up

[modest apex]

So its like normal in this game ? and easy for people ? What a fun ... will return game if it is still possible

[random steppe]

you will go down

[brisk spear]

its very rare, and even if you find lots of them you can still host your own lobbies or play solo or with friends

[static silo]

So i recently finished my first and second elite deep dive, but i just now realised i didnt get the steam achievement for it. Do i need to play without mods to get the achievement or something? Im not achievement hunting or anything but was just curious

[gloomy widget]

hi all

[dense trout]

how do i join channel pods and type in chat

[karmic sundial]

yes

no mods

[proper needle]

guys guess what

[vale drum]

anyone for DD? I'm one star on all and 2 star on scout

[boreal sequoia]

i got a question

is there any plans on making this game crossplay on steam because i just bought it and realised that you need the windows version

oops sorry wrong channel

[runic moon]

Damn
Caretaker + No shield is tough

[lunar terrace]

is there a mod that allows me to play a specific week's EDD (in the past obviously)?

[fickle cliff]

jeez edd was difficult

1hour

[modest cove]

voice chat doesnt work anyone know why?

[wraith shard]

Need a role

[raven carbon]

Finish under 45 minutes

[short bloom]

Ι only get tryhardy when Crassus comes into question, because they are so. freaking. rare

[fading blaze]

What’s the best gunner load out ?

I’m trying to figure out how to go through it. Just promoted the gunner and engineer

[raven carbon]

Best for what?

[ebon tide]

I am not sure... i really like combat mobility 50%+ damage reduction for the autocannon (using 5-3upg. and depositor for insane tanking capabilities)
However neuro payload is still a beast. For deep dives i would reccomend using Plasma missles for the hurricane and an aoe build for the railgun bcuz of ammo efficency

[ebon tide]

Bit of a bias here: i dont really like the minigun. There might be some good builds with it too. Also use leadspray for brt7 if you wanna murk dreads fast

[marble jungle]

The terrain around the caretaker is so unfortunate.....

Once turrets are released there is practically no where to hide

digging in isnt an option at this level

[ebon tide]

Make a pillar using platforms and set up some sort of a base behind it

[runic relic]

I usually dig out a little nook and put a resup by it, at least blocking line of sight while resupplying

DC on stage 3 isn't that bad, at least you get the blank and weapon cores

[daring sandal]

i'm kicking myself now because when i first started playing, whenever i got a core i always tried getting a cosmetic. Big mistake

should always try going for weapon overclocks

[raven carbon]

Yeah the windup makes it feel too slow, and easy to get overwhelmed. Hurricane feels better to play.

[wraith shard]

If you dont like the wind up, use the spin up upgrade

Goes from a 0.7 second wind up to an 0.3

Theres also a clean oc to take away 0.2 more seconds and add 1 more point of damage

[high storm]

I find the wind up mod enough

[rancid cedar]

hurricane is just better then ac in so many ways

[high storm]

LITERALYL TWICE I HAD SOMEONE PUSH BUTTONS SECONDS AFTER MISSION CONTROL SAYS THERES A SWARM COMING

[ebon tide]

Stage 1 is death

Tried 16 times failed 16 times

I mean edd

[raven carbon]

In the long run if you want to get all cores then it's better to go for cosmetics when you have a choice because weapon overclocks will get over first and you will get a lot of blanks

[raven carbon]

Yeah but even then the swarm control feels weaker than hurricane

I kept getting overwhelmed by swarms with minigun plus gunner has very little mobility

[wraith shard]

I think its fine

Massive dps, consistent stream of damage to a swarm, even moreso with pierce, and you have bubble

[high storm]

ITS 2 AM AND i JUST BEAT THE EDD

[spark flint]

This EDD is BRUTAL

Me and my friends got through the first two stages in an hour but that third stage is just dumb, a shield disruption Industrial Sabotage followed by a Rival Presence on haz 5.5 is just painful

So no cosmetic OC for us

[fallow niche]

Is the edd the hardest vanilla thing in the game? I rlly like them but there is only one a week and haz 5 doesn’t hit as hard as a 30-40 min higher stake game

[raven carbon]

In some cases haz 5 can be harder than edd, depends on rng and also the fact that you would probably have less nitra available on haz 5 than the third 5.5 edd stage.

[olive flicker]

Hmm, edd didn't feel that hard to me, are the party spawns really that bad?

The most annoying was probably doing caretaker with lsls, no ls brt hurt more than I realised.

[wary brook]

23????\

[tough skiff]

its not that hard it's just that there is this one clueless guy who throws

[runic relic]

Switched out LS on brt for experimental rounds or whatever its called, less spread, works nicely for not having to close in

[olive flicker]

Yes if you want more range you run experimental, but I was running coilgun for edd since there are 2 more stages.

I don't feel the need for more range than accuracy mod on ls brt against caretaker.

Just run in and out of the caretaker platform.

Salvage is a bit annoying but nothing too bad

[glacial moon]

It worked thanks

[steel python]

Looks like the EDD is just DREDDNOUGHT Dive

[topaz ledge]

Huh that seems way lose worse than last week deep dives

[zenith ember]

beeg eggs

xxl omelettes this week

[leaden cypress]

the EDD's cave gen is peak horror

[fathom shore]

For the dd as scout what do u guys reckon i should run

[cunning flame]

I've done this week's 2 deep dives. I am looking for teams that want to do the elite one to help them prepare and complete them

(i did the elite one in 5 tries with different teams)

[hoary gulch]

spot whats wrong in this image

wait

i cant send screenshots here

[tall relic]

Tons of Dreads this week damn

[runic relic]

Whoops! All dreads

[ancient cove]

Season 04 Deep Dive generator sucks.
We get too much similar objectives inside each Deep Dive type and in comparison between DD and EDD.
I mean, wtf 5 Eliminations? 2 in DD and 3 in EDD. Overall 8 Dread fights.

I'm calling that EDD won't be easy this week. First stage Eggs and Dread, unless caves are full of Nitra, ammunition might become a problem

[past slate]

sa

[ancient cove]

6 Eggs = 3 Swarms

Without knowing how much Nitra will be in Stage 2 and 3, it's most likly a good idea to do Dread first, then pull all eggs and run

[olive flicker]

Big eggs

I can't recall the last time I had ammo problems in a e/dd

[zenith ember]

ammo is pretty tight for 1 and 2

unless our team missed some veins

[ancient cove]

Week before last wasn't that much Nitra in EDD. Even if we missed a Nitra Vein, we finished without any resupply pods left

[olive flicker]

Last to last week's edd was really easy wasn't it?

[zenith ember]

yeah its aight

[ancient cove]

Not saying it was hard, but it had also 6 eggs, Blackbox in Stage 1 and 2 Dreads in Stage 3. So yeah, a lot of ammo were used

Since I always play with randoms, can't say if they waste ammo or have inefficient builds.

[tall relic]

Don't you mean 2 swarms?

[ancient cove]

Swarms come in one of two eggs iirc

[zenith ember]

the MC swarms yeah, total is 4 small and 2 large

if you pull all 6 its kinda just 2.5-ish? due to spawn mechanics

[tall relic]

Afaik four eggs give one swarm, six eggs give two swarms, and eight eggs give three swarms

Main swarms anyway

and it's randomly determined when you'll get them

[zenith ember]

i just typed that yes

[ancient cove]

okey

[olive flicker]

Oh yea, with randoms ammo is much worse.

I do all of em' solo. End with extra resups.

[ancient cove]

Solo is a different story anyway

[tall relic]

I haven't had any issues with ammo in an EDD yet

If anything my issue is that I try to be too conservative even when I don't need to be

[patent elk]

This week feels like a break week compared to the last one

[zenith ember]

kinda

caves are a bit claustrophobic for both though

[patent elk]

Ahh

[nocturne tiger]

You mean its easier compard to last week?

[leaden cypress]

2 swarms, not 3

3 swarms occur with 8 eggs

[patent elk]

Yeah

[karmic sundial]

Stage 1 of EDD is so hard

6 eggs + hiveguard

adn swarmaggadon

😭

[ancient cove]

Oh yeah, I forgot Swarmageddon

[karmic sundial]

nitra is very scare

Yeah i cant do that edd. the caves r so small together with swarmageddon and dreads

very scary

[pliant yoke]

What class are you playing?

[karmic sundial]

Driller

flame + sticky fuel

its fine though, ill try again tomrorow probably

[full saddle]

yeah id rather restart tahn bother doing this one with sticky fuel

[karmic sundial]

what do you recommend?

Idk, i thought sticky fuel because there're so many swarms

especially swarmmers

also the sting tails are plenty

[full saddle]

you're never gonna be able to kill the dreads with it with any sort of ease

[pliant yoke]

Take CSP if you want to kill a dread with Driller

[full saddle]

i brought vim sludge and persistent plasma epc

[pliant yoke]

Preferably with VIM OC if you happen to have it

[karmic sundial]

Oh i didnt think of sludge actually

[full saddle]

pp epc good enough for swarmers and vim is great at dreads

[karmic sundial]

i only have GBS for sludge tho

[pliant yoke]

Sludge is also decent against swarms, be it regular or swarm aged don

[karmic sundial]

and i dont have plasma

lol

[cinder bloom]

Which OC would be better for Deep dives? Lead storm or rocket barrage?

[karmic sundial]

This deep dive you mean?

[cinder bloom]

Yeah, mb

[karmic sundial]

probably lead storm ]

[zenith ember]

are u solo or with a team

[cinder bloom]

Not solo but not premade either

[karmic sundial]

I'll try doing edd with driller maybe

no

i meant engineer

[full saddle]

gunner would be good here as well

[zenith ember]

lsls is always gonna be useful regardless

[karmic sundial]

i dont have promomtion on gunner yet

only level 18
