doesn't look like it
I just dont know man, everyone is saying to do that. I swear I did
try clicking it on and off a few times then restarting Discord
the bot's not amazing
okie
I just rejoined again...its still not working. Clicked them off, left server then rejoined
nothing works
Is the bot DOWN?
bot has tobe
i tried restarting with task manager and didn't work
if your a mod, It doesnt show it
no im not a mod lol
r.i .p
hopes and wishes
That's it lads! Rock and Stone!
If you don't Rock and Stone, you ain't comin' home!
hows the deep dives this week?
when will it be back up?
This is not a thing
is it sane to do the EDD with the funny hoverclock + special gun powder build?
nothing wrong with those
ok
yeah I'm going crazy I cant get roles either
aww man, we were so close to finishing the deep dive but the host aborted on the final mission, rip
Anyone want to help with DD and EDD? I cant get a role right now to lfg
anyone want to help elite deep dive?
yung di sana nag ququit tulad ng mga nananakop sa bansa natin
bibiloteca
Close but not just right
Also, is that Filipino?
hey guys sorry if this is dumb but does my entire party need to be promoted to go into deep dives
yes only promoted dwarves can participate in deep dives
alright thank you! I’ll just have to wait for my lower level friends to promote then
hi im a new to the game and need some game tips
any like whats the best class to start with
but my playstyle is random for some reason
also why cant i access the drg chat
u need to pick roles in #welcome-and-rules
how do i do that
read it through, it explains
i think we got 4-5 total on edd
тут все иностранцы?
what_
#fan-communities for russian server
Ello ello
A decent few, but we have to speak english here.
Anyone wanna join a deep dive with me
play whichever one sounds cool until you've promoted and then play whatever you're in the mood for after that
Play with randoms, fill open positions with a class that isn't selected yet
hold up
how do i get access to the other servers
for some reason i can talk in the 2 deep dive servers but nothing else
like how do i actually get access to anything
you mean channels? you can get roles on #welcome-and-rules
swear i checked that
_ _
ATTENTION MINERS!
We are hearing rumors that some dwarves are still not done with this weeks
Deep Dives
!
We want to remind you that there's only half a week left until our scanners pick up new missions!
_ _
xd
Try to contact one of the persons in the deep dive and tell them to send you an invite
or to add you on steam
I was playing with randoms
I meant to ask how to report the bug
if i were to play a deep dive and an edd would i get the same cores or would they be different
Should I just purely grind deep dives for overclocks?
you can claim 3 different cores from each DD and EDD. You can get at most 6 unique cores each week if you beat both of them (2 blank, 2 OC, 2 cosmetic)
so you can get 9 total cores per week from weekly assignments and deep dives?
hi how do i join a call
i am in the server with them
but i cant get onto the voice call
they are all locked
seriously don't understand what they were thinking when they added swarmageddon
its like they didn't playtest to see if this thing they added wasn't abjectly obnoxious and not fun
its called swarmageddon, i dont think its meant to be easy
personally am fine with it, just use more AoE focused loadouts
Yes, assuming you get enough machine events to convert your blank cores
Swarmageddon in bullshit fucking cancer if its a biome with space brains
Forgor their names
Naedocyte shockers?
swarmageddon isnt that bad if you have grenades/ fire/homing/ anything thats not a scout weapon
Yes
People are just very unflexible
The game offers many upgrades and weapon types to better equip and diversify ur dwarfs strength
If u want ur dwarf to have high single target dmg, thats good, but yes it will suck when ur swarmed
if ur dwarf has tons of AoE dmg, then great u can wipe swarms but it might be harder to take out beefy targets
perhaps, if deep diving, take ways to handle both or specialize in 1 and let ur teammate deal with the other
for example, engineer with the lock-on gun and overclock for weak points, and driller with goo gun or whatever
even scout, from my experience, does pretty good vs waves of enemies if u take the duel wield SMGs with penetration upgrade. mine also have the ice overclock.
and then i use the sniper rifle primarily or the default gun with weakpoint dmg boost overclock.
That way i can deal with both hordes of small enemies and big beefy enemies pretty well.
if u diversify ur portfolio, diversify ur loadout too
I keep losing at stage 2, any tips against swarmaggedon?
AoE overclocks. Which class do you prefer?
Check #welcome-and-rules and follow instructions
Gunner and engi
For gunner, carpet bomber on thunderhead is really good. Take the aoe mods for max effect. Hurricane also has an AoE OC
Gunner and Engi both have pretty great AoE, especially Engi even with no overclocks
Engi, shard diffractor with AoE is most efficient
I just got carpet bomber, nice
Leadstorm magic bullets can work but its meh overall
Carpet bomber is really really good. My favorite OC actually
Make sure you build your secondary for single target damage.
I use lead storm burst myself.
Carpet bomber OC will trivialize both swarmaggedon and exploder infestation. Just keep your head on a swivel so you don't get snuck up on but you should always be doing that on anything.
Sucks with warthog
And most stubby and lok loadouts
just shoot em with your secondary
spinning death does perfectly fine vs swarmers lol
and if u bring fat boy and proceed to have ammo issues thats your own fault
not much else to say about that
What about the diffractor?
It's not good at killing swarmers
bro what
Unless you have that one fire oc
?????????????????????
volatile impact reactor?
Yeah
nah but its absolutely fine against swarmers if you build it for AOE even without overclocks
its absolutely fine against swarmers even if u equip no mods at all
or u build for pure single target dmg
Fr?
its without any sliver of doubt one of the best weapons in the entire game at killing large amounts of swarmers
Maybe I'm using it wrong
might be a bit ammo inefficient that way tho
not really
u have what, 350 ammo? and it costs 3 ammo to kill swarmers with purely aoe damage?
and in tier1 u can pick between +100 ammo or +2 damage which kills swarmers with 2 ammo
I mostly use it to kill acid/web spitters, breeders, broods, and other far targets
automated beam controller would be the only one that would have ammo issues vs swarmers
like u literally just point it at the swarmers and press the left mouse button
and they immediately die
even if you missed the swarmer by a meter it dies because the weapon has aoe
basically anything you can do with the weapon results in a solid aoe performance
but VIR definitely takes the number one spot
Best driller primary for elite deep dives?
If you want a flexible choice, you can’t really go wrong with CSP.
But it’s by no means best - “best” doesn’t really apply to Driller’s primaries, as they all do something well and something else less so
Cryo is good for Dreadnoughts and holding defence points, quite a safe choice I'd say.
Greenbeard here, what are the rewards for doing a DD or EDD?
So the same as a weekly core hunt assignment?
Once you've got them all you get blanks for the first 2 stages of a deep dive and a mineral "overclock" for the last stage
I think weekly core is the same but can't recall. Haven't done it recently 😅
You do get a blank for completing stage 1
If u complete a stage then die and fail mission on second, do you get stage 1 rewards?
They're all gonna be special use cases with strengths and weaknesses but overall for team play I guess cryo or csp and cryspr and csp for solo play
Yes. Same with stage 2 as well
Alr thx
I just got to the last stage on the elite deep dive and we needed 1 mule and 2 eggs and me and my duo died to a swarm 😢
its flexibility ends when there's a dreadnought on the dive
VIM is an overclock one can choose to take - it's not like Driller has many great options against Dreads.
wait i misread CSP as CRISPR nvm
for dreads as driller i take ER subtata
is solo deep dive elite even possible?
tried it but could not catch up on killing enemis
you have to know when you need to kill and when you don't
was just running around cycles trying to surive and kill but my effort went to waste
how much haz 5 have you run
quite a few
haz 5 is no problem for me
but i did have an open lobby
not sure if that makes is harder
then take some crowd clear options, as long as you're doing things fast a 1 person scaled amount of bugs shouldn't be too bad
if you can save nitra from the stages you also are getting tons of resups in stage 2 and 3
i loads of nitro but the swarms were just too big
what class
he's got plenty of aoe
I guess go faster
before swarms build up
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1hb0vxEpgA heres the edd this week with a solo engi
A Deep Rock Galactic Solo Engineer Elite Deep Dive in the Sandblasted Corridors biome. Primary objectives of refining liquid morkite, collecting aquarqs and collecting alien eggs. Secondary objectives of recovering black box, collect morkite and repairing mini mules.
Solo Engineer Elite Deep Dive [Week 205] (with Bosco)
Mission Codename: Everla...
was doing fine at beging but just at the end it got too crazy
tbh i thought shotgun was quite bad but by the looks of it its quite good
any gun is good if u know how to use it
its reliable but boring
also thats solo so bugs have way less hp
huh, i always felt like elite deep dives are quite a bit easier than haz 5 missions sometimes
shit like tyrant weed near refinery with uncoordinated team so you have to scramble for nitra quick and if you take too long you'll get a swarm on top of it
maybe a nemesis and crassus too
had one of those games with horrible cave gen AND there was a corruptor too spreading shit everywhere
just awful
much worse than any edd i have done
team ended up wiping, i'm pretty confident about my carrying skills at this point but i was on driller and it wasn't enough
that moment when u walk into a cave with a nemesis, a korlok and there is an egg next to it
edd also has no distractions like minerals or side events like meteors, i've done dives which had morkite mining as main with greenbeards without getting a single swarm
last week really sucked tho with swarmageddon + 6 eggs + hiveguard on stage 1
lots of ammo needed
terrain was shit too
yeah
we had garbage loadouts too so the swarmers were a pain
facemelter driller, gunner with minigun and brt
Last week seemed to really test team's ammo economy
I liked it a lot, it was pretty easy compared to the week just before.
Stage 3 of the week before was hell 💀 and the stage 1 shield disrupt sabotage was rough for me
b
agree
Usually you have more nitra by the time you get to the later stages as well
Hey in two days time I need a hard carry on elite deep dive in the oceanic region at about 4:45 just seeing
How experienced should I be to not be dead weight on an edd? Promoted every class once and haz4 is a challenge but doable
You only need to shoot bugs.
EDD ain't even that hard.
if you can do haz 4 without much problems you can do edd imo
EDD does tend to attract more experienced players
or at least ones going in with the mindset of playing well
even if they'd goof around at other times
Not related to deep dive, just don't know how to talk in drg chat, why the fuck are malt stars so rare
read #welcome-and-rules and grab a role (also welcome, new miner)

😮
I drank 600 mugs of larch beer screenshots in hp
Ah
this edd is pretty fun
3th stage is relax and 2th one give a fun challenge
I was playing scout with 3 other scout so
can anyone tell me which chat to ask about save files? my computer was shut off during a storm and i lost all my progress,just want to find out if its possible to get it back
Options -> save menu -> restore save
it only has the save from when i started it up after reinstalling
i saw on a forum post that maybe a dev can find my file and restore it, if its not too much trouble, i just wanna ROCK AND STONE with my friends on their level lol, if i have to grind again i'll do it
I cannot seem to get over the second stage, it's a nightmare
There are so many bugs that me and my friends get overwhelmed
One thing I am wondering is, does it make a difference to play with other people? 2/4 seems to be too difficult, but if the mobs increase even more then it's a dead end
idk I play scout so its easy to dodge enemies
as engi u can do a parkour map with your platform to evade
gunner can make good use of his zipline, as there is only menace and sludge spitter
driller is driller
yes more people means more bugs
This weeks Dives were interesting
I had to try EDD like 3 times, but got it on the last one. We bunkered each time and it went surprisingly well! The Gunner left after getting shot off a zip by a Septic Spreader on his way to the Drop Pod, leaving me, Engi, and the Driller, who hard-carried us in all honesty
Somehow this time around, Stage 2 wasn't as horrid, and one of the others somehow got the Aquarq in the little clearing Bet-C was in WITHOUT waking her up, which is just insane. Was somehow a breeze.
The final stage was where shit hit the fan. We had MULTIPLE bulks spawn, and the Driller basically Solo'd the first one because Engi and I both fucked up and died in weird spots. The Driller managed to rez us both somehow, thank Karl. We used a bunker again for Swarms, and again it really worked!
Thankfully all 3 of us made it out afterwards
The regular DD was a breeze tho. Hyper Prop + MPA Shotty go BRRR
Me and the Scout (only us two) had surprisingly good synergy, and we managed to 3-cycle the Hiveguard on Stage 3 before he could even get an attack off due to the massive amount of damage that Hyper Prop does to Glypid butt.
Bomba
why'd he leave lol, even if you dont make it to drop pod you continue
_ _
ATTENTION MINERS!
Planet scanning is now booting up, 24 hours left until new
Deep Dives
!
_ _
First try edd nice
Stage 2 sucked but stage 3 was relieving with critical weakness
It only took me 1 hour and 42 minutes
Uhhh... guys, did yall feeling like deep dive elite are feel easier than last time update?
I dunno lol
4 People but now less bug, not like when first big update, get bombarded by shit ton loads of bug.
Most of the EDDs are easy
It's not like having a new major update will suddenly make the EDD harder, unless there is some balancing to do
eg nemesis being a nightmare when S2 was released
hiveguard at deep dive doesn't start his attack, just roaming
for five damn minutes
what should I do
Pet
You can try to attack it (pickaxe to save ammo)
I feel that helps sometimes
doesn't work
his roar just stops
Yeah it has happened to me a couple times. But so far it always recovered after less than 5min
Hiveguard just does whatever Hiveguard does
🤷♂️
😂
Next time it happens, stay near it so it bites you
it usually "unlocks" it
I wish I was more lucky with my teammates
or got better at the game for EDDs
:/
So far 2 attempts and both ended alike
I think it happens more often if you lure it far away but I'm not sure. This has happened with me a few times too.
Depends week to week
I have never tried an EDD before. Currently Lvl 98 (All-Rounder Dwarf) and can succeed in H4 about 95% of the time. Is EDD much much harder, or is it....manageable?
You're more than good enough for EDDs.
Whew, I hope so...cuz I heard EDDs and DDs have separate reward pools? As in, I can get the blank, weapon and cosmetic core from DD, and then another different set from EDD?
Nice, soooo realistically only the first 2 levels kinda matter unless I want drip yea?
Realistically you just go as far as you can.
Nice, do you have any class recommendation for EDD? Should I just stick with gunner to be safe?
Deep Dives in general do get easier as the mission goes on, since you have to mine less and less nitra
Cuz I don't think I can find any EDD enthusiasts this late in the week
That's true yea
I always stick with gunner when I want "safe".
just play with whatever class you want
you can't really lose from not being a certain class
how come every time a bulk spawns during escort and we have TWO gunners, NONE of them shield push it and we die
happened twice now
jesus
psa to all gunners: SHIELD PUSH THE BULK
because vanilla isnt difficult enough to actually push people towards improvement, resulting in many players not leaning skills that aren't actually that hard to understand as they don't need them >95% of the time
it stagnates player development due to too low of a difficulty cap
Anyone know why I go from like 5k credits to 10-11k after only one mission which says it pays out 2k? I’ve only done 4 or 5 missions so idk loads abt the game yet lmao
Wont you just die?
Or at least lose hp
Does burning nightmare mod work with the persistent plasma OC?
I really don't find them "easy"... I mean, I am not an experienced player, but the amount of bugs is kinda overwhelming even with 2 players
No, it cannot attack because it has to walk outside of the shield
what does that mean?
throw a shield down right in front of approaching bulk, forcing and pushing the bulk away from your group or objective momentarily and buying your team time
it's nice to combo with leadbursters too, they can annihilate bulks in a few seconds
and you won't hurt your team
Yesss exactly
Tried the EDD, damn, if this is one of the easy ones count me out lol
Thankfully I finished the first so it's not all for naught
The second with swarmageddon was just an instant gg for me
what class did you play as?
Gunner. It's now I realise Driller would probably be better due to the sheer amount of swarms
engineer is a very good choice too
shredders and turrets make short work of swarmers and you can focus on something else
Mhm, but it's aight, it's my first and most likely last EDD, definitely not my thing
i did my first edds as engineer with 0 overclocks and they were fine despite some nasty parts
Hi is there sometimes can I do to play deep dive in offline?
BC currently I can't connect to Internet to my pc
Will I want cores, I can't get it in offline
DRG wants to reach out to GSG servers to download the seed for the deep dive, so probably not. You might be able to launch a dive online, then flip to offline and have it cached.
I see thanks.
I wish if there a way to save more than one seed.
there is no way to cache more than one seed that I'm aware of (if you can even cache one to begin with). you can use mods (like Mission Selector) to replay specific dives if you know their seed, though mods have issues working offline too sometimes if they can't communicate with drg.mod.io
i just did my first deep dive and it was on engi
13212 lok-1 smart rifle, 12213 breach cutter (absolutely obliterated the dreadnoughts), 1211 turrets, ssg grenade (used it like 1 time lmao). second wind, ressuplier, throns, dash, iron will (ended up not using it)
_ _
ATTENTION MINERS!
Planet scanning is still in progress, 12 hours left until new
Deep Dives
!
_ _
just failed my first elite deep dive 
Rip. Just did my first solo elite
same, i was at the very end too
I haven't done much but this elite was like one of the easiest imo
Maybe ive just had good teams
We usually don’t have issues, but 1/3 is on vacation, other guy didn’t want to 2 man
Playing with randoms usually doesnt go too poorly
Nah, I was on solo
But I died to the spitballers at the beginning cause I got dumb and temp shocked when I should've used my drills
So I only had 1 revive and iron will for the rest, which ended up with me accidentally running into a dead end
Without bosco it's modded
It did get me on my first one (also today) so that's why I went solo
It straight up kicked me at the middle so I figured it would be better at least to get the first 2 rewards
can't you disable bosco in the bosco menu?
really? I always assumed it was modded
didn't think the game would allow it, but it's a nice thing
HEY gamerz, what is best scout weapons
Yes, you can turn off Bosco and run “true solo” without mods
I can’t post in the big reporting channel so I’ll put this here.
With the Karl would be proud achievement, I managed to get it even though my teammates ordered resupplies.
I did join the game partway through but they ordered it after I joined.
For which mission
Ah, I see, that's literally the meaning of "shield push" 👍
You can unequip bosco for any mission at the drone upgrade terminal
I like how I'm slowly seeing strats i see on yt vids in my deep dive runs
I saw a random driller making a bunker last deep dive i did with my friend
I once threw two gunner explody area grenades then immediately then threw a shield just as the bulk was approaching drill machine
Burst the bulk immediately and saved dolly
Super effective strategy
Dolly wasn't touched
Nice
Cluster grenades?
Wonder what the new dive will be?
3 consecutive escort duty missions, all with exploder infestation
The new elite deep dive will be 3 Industrial Sabotages with eggs and Lethal Enemies
Wait I've should have said hivegaurd
and low O2
Industrial Sabotage is doable with low O2
Double IS would be funny
_ _
ATTENTION MINERS!
New
Deep Dives
will be available in one hour!
_ _
That would be great
Also 5 bulks per stage
And low o2
o2 on ressuply pods saves the day
Hack-c also gives oxygen right?
yes
So like said low O2 on Industrial Sabotage is not that bad
Industrial Sabotage isn't bad either, people just don't like the mission
I'm just tired of fighting the caretaker
yeah they should make different bosses like with elimination
good luck lads

Hey did anyone else have two dreadnought spawns on the first stage of the EDD last week? or was that just me lol
there's 0,1% chance of that happening

ATTENTION MINERS!
New
Deep Dives
are now available!

karl almighty
Smarmageddon gonna suck
Rocket barrage is pleased with swarmageddon
i believe we had haz 5.5 swarmageddon few weeks ago, was kinda rough
at least the swarmaggedon is not on stage 2 of the edd
Sticky flames, rocket barrage, volatile impact reactor, carpet bomber
Lots will be pleased
I like farming kills 😂
that's a lot of twins
think it was back to back elim with one of them having swarmaggedon so swarm kill was not in the best interest
yeah i'll probably go sticky fuel
and hope someone saves my life in second stage
🤣
Understandable 😂 could just tcf the macterra
Its so satisfying watching em disintegrate
What's sticky fuel?
Crsps overclock
Makes flames last longer and do more damage when they are placed on surfaces
Depends which one u prefer, i always go with aise over hipster
i'd personally pick aise for this one, you can snipe twins from safe distance and it's easier to get rid of macteras/patrol bots
for mactera plague focus shot build with fear from t5 would be very good
Ok I was liking aise so I will stick with that thank you any secondary you would recommend
but up to you, you can do well with both
Last week's elite deep dive was rough
Finally said fuck it and we played with a team of scouts after losing about 4 times
Why point extraction augghhh
The biggest challenge is trying to see the Aquarqs and Morkite in the first place
I hate dreadnought on EDD
Nah I feel like it depends on class. I love scout for elim
Damn this week's EDD looks really fun
Yeah its true, i main driller and engi, but i always get downed, maybe skill issue lol
Driller is not as great for elim he lacks as much ST
But I’ve see good sludge pump builds for elim
I rarely use sludge pump, i alway use cryo with snowball overclock for elim
That why i hate, but engi is pretty good for elim
I think driller lack in dmg overall. He is great on L.M extraction but suck when you need dmg
I mean he has insane dmg. It’s just aoe wave clear
And this is sad bc he has one of the funniest weapons (and use Geneva Convention as ,,What to do" manual)
Scout m1k makes elim so easy but he struggles on black box
Yeah he has one of the best aoe clear but only that. Oh and you can always use C4 on ur team to troll them
and this is huge advantage for me XD
I mean to be fair he has decent single target with plasma. He just isn’t always best for bosses
Nice, chill DDs again
How do I view the weekly DD and EDD I’m kinda new
Pinned Messages
well thats why on elite you need all 4 classes because they complement each other
Not always
If no black box u can def scout solo more easily
Live gunner reaction
Gunner seems to be the least popular class. :(
wdym driller is not good for elimination 🤔
hydrogen ion additive and volatile impact mixture exist
or just sludge shotgun
+cwc with gamma
cwc with gamma and hydrogen melt dreads really quick with dot
Nah, its popular in high hazards
you can also go cryo and insta kill twin with axes
that too
Oh
Good chance you wont see much people running around w scout if its not collection heavy objectives
Which does suck sometimes due to secondary objectived
i'll probably run solo edd with sludge this week
considered scout, but swarmageddon 💀
Sludge is better against dreadnoughts from my experience lol, so you should be good. But I don't have any oc's for driller, so maybe the other 2 primaries with overclocks also works well.
I also don't really know which secondary to use for driller.
well if you practice tcf, then tcf
Burning hell epc
Or whatever it's called
Is my go to
VIM, Sludge Blast and Ice spear work pretty well
yea with heavy hitter
For elims I use Dispresser Compound + microwave with Gamma and neurotox nades
and 2 deadly C4s
Slow is useful for the team + all DoTs are really deadly
Aw it’s swarmageddon again?
Low(but enough) nitra until 3rd stage, TIL swarmmers also inherit violatile guts
2 pumps out of 3 above the refinery for edd
This looks tricky
You got rival presence and mactera. So you would want to use flame
But then you got the two dreadnoughts
I think an all around crspr build with epc secondary. Ammo c4 and impact axes?
Any possible special spawns
On the EDD?
Also how is the cave gen, is the refinery in a deep hole?
I was planning solo gunner
All the twins seem a bit scary
because my driller and engineer teammates had no idea what to fucking do
Besides, my engie is well equipped for both mactera and swarmers
the scout even took a shower halfway through the stage and we still hadn't finished building the pipes💀
MPA+Breach cutter+Turret whip
Eh that would work
there is a well 50 m vertically above the refinery
Jesus
Atleast it doesnt have salvage/sabotage
What disruptive spawns did yall get
Was it stingtail hell
As long as I've got stunner n hyperprop for stages 2 n 3, it's smooth sailing. Fastest EDD I had with a driller who was on point.
no engineer is 💀
scout. Mactera swarms gonna render you grounded surely ))
Elite Deep Dive of this week
Stage 2
Black Box
Mactera Plague kicks in when recovering Black Box
My gunner build of Bullet Hell - Magic Bullets - Leadburster was not ready for this beatdown
didn't help that the engineer had a fat boy and panic cleared the swarm mid-black box
christ the normal one is tight on nitra
also stage 2 is actually the smallest cave ive ever seen what was that
Idk, I speedran the regular deep dive. Got it done in 37 minutes.
According to the recent waste video, both of your weapon overclocks are aoe builds. What you should try to do is make one of gunner's weapons do aoe and the other to do lots of single-target damage.
Black box on stage 2 sounds scary
I'll try out Big Bertha - Hellfire - Sticky Nades instead
With my luck I would have to deal with 2 oppressors while a squadron of tri-jaws fly in to beat me up
Conflicted between using necrothermal or electric trail for the final mod of coil
Necrothermal basically procs guaranteed if you kill with hellfire coilgun
while electric trail procs both fire and elec DoTs
I always go with electric trail. but I don't have hellfire so it might be overkill.
this is a quick DD
bullet hell should absolutely stun lock mactera tho
the only thing necrothermal is good for is blowing up teammates
Jet Boots in the first Stage of DD
DD is an absolute piece of cake this time
First mission gets a bit annoying to get Aquarqs and eggs from the absolute top of the cave, but Jet Boots help
POD 1 / 2 assignment missions and then core hunt
That and scout with eng's platforms
this is funny EDD
Well, it's obvious for me. Without platforms you can forget about it, even with Jet Boots.
time to rerun for fun through this week
Okey not completly, Driller can dig his way up there as well, but it will cost too much time
Im on the last stage of the EDD right now and I am just in endless combat with swarmers
I really wish swarmers exploded with volatile guts
is this week's edd noob friendly
Not sure if I was just ass but this weeks edd was wild, first stage was easy, but second and third were cancerous
I see thanks for the explaining 🙂
the second stage isnt that bad it comes down to killing the macteras before they shoot the first one is a breeze and the third one is insane
Don't think so
2nd and 3rd stage are insanely annoying
the second one i recomend gunner with a damage build the macteras cant do anything
challenge accepted
In what world do mactera provide a challenge for scout lmao. Cryo and phero grenades both exist
yo whats the normal deep dive mission
aquarq + egg (both on roof), dread + egg (small cave), morkite + black box (easy cave)
lots of annoying radioactive crystals but nothing else much
k thx
this week deep dive was so easy
hows the edd
Not a lot of nitra on stage 1 as usual, most of it is on stage 2 & 3
And have fun making the pipes on stage 3 
driller
We did without a driller

In the end we had to craft the pipes on the refinery head directly
- platform stairs
It's so hard 😭😭
where is the nitra
that seems to be the hard part, stage 1 doesn't have much nitra so you can find yourself going into stage 2 short
I GOT HOVERCLOCK
AND STICKY FUEL
this deep dive was blessed
i just completed it in the fastest time I have ever done a deep dive and I got 2 amazing ocs out of it
Normal DD looks easiest it’s been in the last few weeks
DD Elite isn't too bad either
stage 3 terrain is annoying
and then swarm happened at the same time we started the refinery so it stacked
That's very annoying
also stingtails with that terrain
womp womp
yo you werent joking stage 3 terrain is awful...💀
like, unless you're a scout
and if you're a scout and you die somewhere annoying lol
i spent like an entire swarm period trying to get to dead scout only to fail
like, i tried multiple ziplines and a cave angel
are deep dives fun
but i fell
Very fun if you get a good group
can we talk about how hard the deep dive elite is rn?
mactera one is bs
no kiding and thats only stage 2
i think ima skip out on the elite deep dive this time i do not have the skill nor over clock to deal with that
two of us built pipes to the same pumpjack on one attempt. But fortunately it's not too bad to get between the two high up pumpjacks (getting to them is hard but building from one to the other is okay)
we ended up winning
you talking about elite deep dive or normal deep dive and if your talking about elite deep dives how did you get pass stage 2 i can bearly leave the drop pod
edd stage 3
also on my final attempt with random team we got nearly wiped out by a grabber lol
i must know how did you get pass stage 2 of edd
grabbers are annoying, they're really noisy when they're looking for someone to grab and then they tend to be quiet when they're actually about to grab you lol
was a grabber on stage 3 though
for stage 2 preferably don't just run out and die like an idiot. Also for black box driller can drop it down next to the minehead
i think it's just needing players with good OC/skills
but what do you do when you go outside for the first time and there is nowhere to run 2 breader 25 flying bugs the bugs that spread sticky goop all around and a bunch of crawl and slashers?
you stay inside the drop pod for a while
almost at the end of stage 2 i had 500+ kills while gunner had 80
the two other ranged from 100-200
have some people clear the important stuff like the goobers and breeders and others just kite around i guess
ideally just sit in the pod and pick off the goo bombers first, and whatever else you can shoot, especially stuff like trijaws
also stage 1 nitra is pretty scarce
like there's barely enough for 2 resups and if you're going quickly and miss some perhaps not even
and you're probably gonna burn through 1-2 resups worth of ammo
edd stages 2 and 3 are a bit better nitra-wise
but not super plentiful either
like you'll probably have an extra supply or two unless you're super wasteful
by the end of stage 3
noted thanks
stage 2 feels like typical mactera plague haz5, nothing too crazy besides a black box location that's kinda bad but fortunately the driller can drop it down
Edd this week is rough
Already miss the last two
Spawned in on stage 2 and saw nothing but yellow
same lol (and little doom music)
stage 3 is annoying terrain and a pretty annoying mutators
swarmageddon always annoying, and volatile guts is a double edged sword
Swarmageddon led to us losing on last stage
helps a lot with clearing grunt waves but can also hurt if close, doesn't affect the swarmers i believe
Was last one left after doing an IW, needed resup but a few swarmers snuck up on me right before I got it
there are also some pretty nasty enemies in stage 3's spawn pool
cant be as bad as stage 2 right?
quite a few stingtails and you can get the occasional grabber
also web spitters
i'd like to say besides those it's mostly grunts, swarmers, praetorians etc.
at least stage 3 isn't full of mactera lol
True
Does anyone know what the deep dives are this week and the mutations with it
wut tf is this EDD
Its posted
Search for "Weekly deep dive information"
brother I ain't making it pass stage 1 on this EDD ngl
I'm actually baffled on this one
I can’t find the post can you link it to me?
^
Ty I been looking on Reddit😂
4 downs isn't that bad?
You guys wanna group up for it?
stage 1?
yeah dawg Imma need a group for this weeks
Join on me?
Sure
1098254194
this edd sucks
oxo u wanna join us?
this week's edd was something else lol
lol, i haven't gotten past stage 1
on 2nd try we blew it down next to the rig, better than on the cliff it was on
anyone else wanna join and make a team of 4
Several times if I start riding a cave Angel, a teammate will shoot and kill it, like they think it’s a grabber
That happened to me once
I shot the guy with a coil gun and killed em
Wasn’t an Edd of course just some bog standard elim
It keeps happening to me, I don’t get it
Are they just greenies?
These are on DDs so these people should sorta know what’s up
I know some people may shoot them to prevent other dwarves from goofing off
Others may just panic
And further still some could be envious little goblins
I only do it when we have down time
What loadout?
I really want ai stab
I’ve got bad gk2 luck
I’m a gambling addict but I’m not a big homebrew fan tbh
I wish it was more extreme
Which class is mandatory to make it not hell
All
my friends and i managed to get by pretty well with 1 scout, 1 drill, and 2 engie
What's up this week?
Pins
Tq
My team died on the third one, partly because only 2 of us had IW, and of those two only I had vampire
How's the terrain?
Expansive
Rip
some parts were pretty vertical
I see
You will fall
I’m just happy I got the first two
Although I didn’t get anything good
Got a shitty brt oc
the end of stage 3 drop pod swarm killed most of my frames, we had swarmers on top of the reg swarms all at once

swarmers bit my ass to death stage 3
they hit way too hard, was a nightmare
Swarmers jumped me right before I got a game saving resup
one engie brought lures they helped a lot with the little guys
stingtail launched me into orbit yippe i had to waste iron will
IW and vampire need each other
I was happy to see that swarmers got affected by that
I should try the crossbow a bit more, I don’t use it much
I usually run special powder or cryo minelets
I would run phero stuff more often but without fail the bugs with phero are shot by my team
Or killed in crossfire
Those also become Steeves
They’re similar ye
I don’t use lures much
That’s where the Zhukovs come in
I always run voltaic
It’s great for macteras
I love the Nishanka
I always run the triple shot OC and either AISE GK2 or SCC garand for dreadnought or deep dives that have h*veguard
todays elite was harsh
goddamn mactera plague
I see
look for ways to mitigate fall dmg
its awful on the 3rd stage edd
ROCK AND STONE
Zip lines galore and reset lobby until I get the reduced fall dmg beer for me
y dont i have access to the basic drg chat
get a role in #welcome-and-rules
Finally EDD done! tough one and this was first one I had to build bunkers
But reward was worth it - Tool of destruction for gunner 😄
With what you guys keep saying about this EDD Im unsure if I should even try-
are the over clock the same for everyone or are the random in deep dives
random
Ъ
This weeks EDD got me doubt all my skills so I am switching to green beard again 🫠
the macteras make stage 2's black box hard, and the swarmageddon makes stage 3 hard in general
Sounds like job for Driller with Cryo and Microwave
there's also barely enough nitra
This was my first ever attempt at EDD, got to 3rd stage and failed, but damn were the macteras on stage 2 a pain
esp when 3 grabbers spawn in at the same time 😆
yeah, stage 1 and 2 have small amounts of nitra, but stage 3 gives you plenty
mactera swarm at stage 2 is painful
so until stage 3 there is only one tip I could give:
The grabbers were the bain of our life. We'd go down, and the guy trying to res would get grabbed.
stage 2 wasn't so bad if we killed the mactera while gunner shield was up
but when people started going down it was chaos
whats stage 3 objectives?
this happened a lot to us in stage 3 with the stingtails
ngl ima just not do edd this time around stage 2 is just the worst thing ive ever seen lol
happy new month friends
We made it through another 
For the first phase there isnt much after the second my group had 160 going into round 3 as a 4 stack
After my second edd attempt I already wanted to quit after having to fight the twins again on 1st stage lol.
This week's EDD is something else. Stage 1 has like zero nitra and stage 2 spawns like 100 mactera at spawn
I ran out of amo in stage 1, got out of the pod on stage 2 and screamed
it's like mosquitos on a summer night
same, fuck stingtails. Nerved my ass. They spawn at a random wall and sling you across the room and up to the ceiling. Also the constant noise from the swarmers sometimes prevents you from hearing the initial stingtail scream before it grabs you.
Also funny thing: Nemesis spawned while we were fighting twins lmfao
Play with randoms
I did
wrong reply sorry
Ikr, why are there so many mactera at the 2nd stage's beginning when it's only been 20 min. 😭
play with randoms
the engi we had hasnt even used his twin sentries after we killed twins lmao
forget the stingtails just landing in stage 2 spells death
If you guys having trouble to beat EDD with randoms. Tell them to take proper gear before starting the mission.
Engi should take Hyperpropelant. Someone needs something against Mactera, like for example Driller Cryo.
Gunner should take Minigun
Can't rn, but maybe later.
They are also in Stage 3, that's what I'm referring to. Stage 2 was also hard, ngl. Stunning everything for some seconds with the c4 blast is also helpful to get that clutch resupp-grab during a black-box fight. (Not so practical in public games though 😅 )
lol
I love embedded detonators

If no one got me, ik embed dets got that oppressor
Can I get an amen
hey guys, i am not able to use drg chat
what do i have to do in order to be able to use that chat?
ping me please if you decide to answer me
you need roles from #welcome-and-rules
thx
<@&296918282403840000> It happens all the time to new members. Can you guys fix it please?
They always come here to ask what they have to do.
It should be make more visible, also I guess these channels should be also locked behind the same roles
WHAT DA HELL ARE THOSE DEEP DIVES??
WHAT ARE THOSE
ELITE ONE MACTERA INFINITY SPAM
NORMAL ONE DREADNOUGHT AND DETONATOR
WHAT IS THIS
4 scouts deep dives??
PLEASE i BEG you HOW CAN I DO THOSE
just make another button for chat, like T
I just did my first deep dive and I’m interested in elite deep dives. The problem is that I know I can’t complete one by myself and I feel like that might be the one place in drg where a green beard would be a real headache. How mad do you think people would be if I joined a public lobby?
nah
I wouldnt give a fuck
Are u eu?
Us
What haz do u play on
Normally 3 so it’d be a bit of a leap
I would say of ypu really wanna feel more ready
Start doing haz 4
Also you could try to find people on the server
I also almost only play on 3 but I managed to do my first dd and almost finished the edd last week back to back on solo, so I say you can do it
i wish hazard 3.5 was playable outside deep dives
there are mods for that
yeah but i prefer playing vanilla since i like playing with randoms
my friends arent gonna buy untill next week
Is it crazy I can’t stand doing solo EDD unless I’m on scout
I feel a sense of urgency in EDD and get so annoyed at other classes lack of mobility at times
yea
I have to have dash on non-scout
When solo EDD and sting tail pulls you off the height
ggs next
I cry
Also pheromone doesn’t effect sting tail sometimes
I threw it on it and there was swarm between me and it
And it still went for me
just freeze em
But why does pheromone not effect sting tail
bug or somethin idk
It’s a consistent thing I have seen where sting tails pull me when I pheromone them and they are in a swarm
OMG edd on this week is hell
whats the edd this week
pins
ELITE DEEP DIVE 
Region: Azure Weald | Code Name: Exposed Outpost
Stage 1:
200 Morkite +
Twins |
Rival Presence
Stage 2:
7 Aquarqs +
Black Box |
Mactera Plague
Stage 3:
On-Site Refinery +
Twins |
Volatile Guts
Swarmageddon
Is it worth basing my build around stage 1?
Rival presence is usually rough but its haz 4.5
So I feel like I should worry more about the last two
Think a generalist build is the best option
I could build for mac plague too but then I'd be worse against the dreads
I understand that I'm only lvl 100+ and don't have a lot of skill, but I got 500+ in a random pack
Even they were shocked in the third stage
the last few have been pretty simple
in an instant the refinery will be swarmed when a swarm occurs
it's hectic
I don't think anyone would be mad, you can't learn if you don't try
Unless it's like... you're doing literally nothing but dying
people only get mad if they're bad themselves
just carry them
4 veteran teams make things trivial. no challenge
third stage wasn’t bad at all. Explosive guts is annoying but it just means you gotta keep ur distance
I mean, for me personally, this is the most difficult edd that I came across, it was difficult and fun
same here
one of the sandblasteds a little while ago was also rough though
stage 2 was very fun as scout
Right before we pop the egg.. This happens. On the 3rd stage of the EDD. https://i.imgur.com/DzuVGXt.jpg
Im amazed we survived. I actually did not go down a single time in this fight, but it was bloody intense. Some of the most fun Ive had in a deep dive.
The gunners shield is probably like in the top 3 of gear in this game.
Also, max shield area is the best. Forget shield duration, the increased coverage is awesome.
i have seen 10x the leavers in the EDD today than I have seen in my whole 200 hours before
2 twin dreads?
Yep!
Imagine if there was a edd that had 2 or 3 eggs clipped into eachother
I would die :))
Does anyone have advice for this solo EDD it is incredibly painful for me
Tried scout. Great at aquarq but really struggles on black box/ pipelines with swaragedon
Tried engi and was super slow to get all the aquarq as it is out of visibility and bosco can’t get them
I’m debating going driller as he can speedrun last stage. I would just struggle on aquarq
And I have 0 OC essentially
Just as fyi
If anyone have class or build recommendations lmk
i need some deep dive teammates
guys i promoted a character so i am legally allowed in this channel now
Yes you are, congrats fellow dwarf
I’m convinced driller is the best generalist. For deep dives. For solo he seems decent at all missions types.
Doesn’t have extreme struggle with anything
The one problem is
if you go cryo, you deal with flyers easily, but then single target like dreads are a problem
if you go sludge dreads are easier, but fliers are aids to hit
i think its preference as long as u have at least 1 aoe mod
drill down down down call resup drill to the side a bit then bonk dreads with resup.
imagine if it works lmao
Plasma is good vs fliers
just drill a tunnel so they funnel
should be easy to hit them all with all driller primaries
Solo driller sludge would probs be best option
Decent vs ST and good vs swarms
Plasa for fliers and HVt
Super fun elite deep dive
I love when refinery missions have weird terrain
Makes them a lot more interesting
Probably one of my favorites so far, up there with the magma core stage 3 mac plague salvage EDD
Sludge blast
Yw
Fliers die
Dreadnoughts die
Armor?
Nuh uh
Sludge blast
Airborne?
Nuh uh
Sludge blast
Whatever secondary you have just needs to be ammo efficient
SO
Not EPC
Also driller suffers in some cave generations
Primarily vertical shit. You can dig to where you wanna go but if its some whack ass PE or OSR mission where the area is essentially a vertical pillar
Well
I just abandon tbh. Don't know if anything like that exists on DDs or EDDs tho
idk why people say sludge blast destroy dreads, every time I have use it for that it just do mediocre damage.
I prefer to bring a slowdown build for dreads if I go driller, but to each its own i guess.
epc is hella ammo efficient wdym
considering it like 2 shots praets, the dps is very high
and the ammo efficiency hurts a lot on sludge blast , maybe that's why i dont like it
It kills alot faster
you just gotta practice with tcf
Especially with the fragment upgrade
It becomes a pellet upgrade
And those are goated on shottys
So imagine a shot gun that skips armor does splash and dot
i want to see someone do roller coaster on the edd lol
Its wild and I cant imagine playing any other build
I mean if I want dps I just play engie and go executioner
You can also be very ammo efficient with the less charge ammo upgrade but your dps falls quite a bit
Tcf?
What does that do for ammo efficiency
thin containment field does godly amounts of dmg for barely any ammo. I can solo swarms with just that
that -1 doesn't do a lot
vim is a good alternative to sludge blast. Great dps, ur ammo econ is better, and u can still fight swarms very well
32 shots to 40 shots and considering one shot is a swarm and a half if you space it right its pretty good
I just need the comfort of a half second charge
but again I have use sludge blast like 5 times so im no expert on that oc
sludge blast is good solo or if ur ok with totally fucking ur ammo econ and lowering ur aoe potential considerably
Otherwise I'd run it but I never feel like I need it

So do you like
Shoot a charged shot above a swarm and then detonate it?
persistent plasma my beloved
I ran TCF for this EDD and I felt like I wasn't able to get a ton of use out of it tbh
I used it to get some red sugar, grab the last bit of morkite we needed in the first stage, move the stage 2 black box down, and kill some mactera
i imagine it would be good on the mactera
