when you see a mactera swarm coming you gotta move him to good position in advance so it won't take too long to fire the rockets
i like to go electrocute from last tier because it slows bulk detonators to a crawl
i don't think i got any this edd but electrocute is always a safe bet
I'll risk it
especially when you're doing something like salvage or escort by yourself as scout, then it's a lifesaver
get bosco to attack it asap and you have lots of time to kill it
phero grenades make black box a joke, just have a resup in the radius too so you can spam them if needed
Thats what I'm hoping for
Ill kite everything get the nitra i need for a resupply start black box asap
And then take whatever time I need for aquarq
Stage 2?
yeah
make sure you pick 3 from first tier for bosco
it's too good to give up
especially when getting aquarqs
what was it again
The mining one?
yeah
I thought that was just qol
I usually always run it cause it feels good
Rn i have the revive from that tier cause I certainly need it
typically i always run 31133 but third tier is a toss up
if you are scout you don't need 1
something weird happened when i was doing this edd with solo scout
on stage 1 when i was fighting twins, nemesis spawned mid fight
haven't seen that before
Stage 1 turret rooms is so fucking bullshit Holy shit
I cant cheat with driller anymore

yea i skipped the whole thing by having bosco dig through the dirt
How do you have Bosco dig under the terminal
i mean having bosco dig through to the next area
Oh
Well there's morkite and nitra in that room that I need
Am I just supposed to reset until it spawns not in that room?
you can get bosco to mine them, just pick them up when he's done
Ig
bosco op
Well im reseting anyway cause I lost 3 lives to a stingtail that I couldn't kill because I had to run from 8 slashers while trying to take out the terminal
Any tips on what I should run as primary for digger on the deep dives?
sludge
best against dreads if you are solo
I just saw a nemesis spawn in my face
I haven't left spawn
Who the fuck
Decided this is ok
You're telling me
my friend didn't get a single nemesis stage 1
I had 4 stingtails on my last driller attempt on Blackbox
I did a Rival prescene thing for magnite and got 3 nemesis during the countdown
1 before that
This game fucking hates me

Now swarmers are spawning
I'm still not out of spawn
WHERE ARE ALL THESE MOTHERFUCKERS COMING FROM now I have a mini swarm of slashers and 2 trijaws
😭
I thought nothing spawns unless the dirt walls are broken
2 stingtails
Aight
Reset
Fuck this shit
you get both unannounced and announced swarms during mining expeditions
Wish they'd at least gimme my barely bulbs if I abandoned
Ik that
It makes point extraction fucking miserable
2 steps and "SWARM! SWARM APPROACHING"
And just every 20 seconds we got an entire platoon of them while you're just trying to kine
Mine*
point extractions are pretty easy if you have bosco
But I was under the impression that you're safe in the beginning rooms
just have him focus on aquarqs while you collect nitra and shoot bugs
Unless the drop pod spawns too close to the dirt and it automatically opens them
Well yeah but its still not particularly fun because it doesn't feel like you're completing an objective it feels like you're stalling
To complete an objective
Which you are
Because Bosco is mining for the aquarqs
not like you have to ignore aquarqs entirely by yourself tho
just have him get the difficult ones
Ok so I've noticed that if you stay in the starting area for about half a minute shredders spawn
I'm assuming there's a scripted Rival spawn at the start
And ig its not just shredders

At least not that time
Rn its shredders again tho
sounds like you're having a good time lol
Annoying but at least I can play the game
I am not

But I want matrix cores
if you live in eu i can help tomorrow
And I have gone 7 games in a row without finding a machine event
with edd
I am not EU
darn
Us PST
guess we could still make it work but i wouldn't want you to play with a ton of lag
will i get a matrix core every time i do a deep dive or only once?
once per week for normal and elite each
okay thanks
and you won't lose the cores from completed stages if you fail
Reseting cause stingtail again
Bosco missed his freeze missiles
I ran out of pheromone stuff
I literally could not grapple away because the stingtail kept pulling me back and id make absolutely no distance
And then I saw a second stingtail spawn in front of me
And then I was like "at least its just 2"
And then I got grabbed from behind
👨🦯
stingtails are ass
I never understood the hate until this edd
I’m still getting used to dodging their grabs but they’re fun
Where I'm getting so many
As a hz 3 and 4 guy theyre no issue
You add a .5 to that and it feels like they come from haz 6
Mfs do not die at all
Half your HP gone in a hit
Since there's always 2 of them its bullshit ypu can never actually go where you need to without killing them
Please gsg
Remove
Or make them rare as fuck
I dont want to see another stingtail again
I'm gonna go apeshit
i would be fine with a slight nerf tbh
I prefer when im playing haz 3 and you get like
1 stingtail
Hes mortal
Now you're fine
Ok attempt 7
i started playing haz 6 recently and they are a massive pain in the ass
I think
even in haz 5 i just groan when they are in the spawn pool
annoying as shit when you are solo
I just got 2 mactera swarms and Bosco would not kill any of them
Please go in front of them
🥺
Work properly
Can you shoot them
No because I'm kiting them and trying to not get pulled into the swarm by a sting tail
I'm past that finally the Bosco didn't miss his rocket this time so I could kill the swarm and then the flies
WHY does berserk keep triggering when I just do a power attack
I'm pressing each button ONCE
And then before I even get my power attack I'm glowing blue

Alright scout is not working I cant get past the turret room without skth spawning and then a swarm spawns and then my ammo is drained before I do the twins fight
skill issue
also, I saw a driller with golden skin
I tried to compliment him by asking if his di** was also golden
and I offered him 200 000 gold to show it to me
he left
people are just afraid of gold nowadays
My man
Thats taking it too far
<@&296918282403840000>
I'm just giving up on this EDD
I either breeze through stage 1 and die in stage 2 or I build for stage 2 but haha woops its a shit build for dealing with nonstop robots and a twins spawn
Does the prospector cheese still work?
I cant cover both solo
I almost beat the twins but arbalest decided to use the shotgun aoe 3 times and I couldn't get out of the way
He didn't even need the 3rd one he just needed to show me he can
yeah i can imagine solo is tricky to do since you need a build that basically covers everything
and then you have a jack of all trades, master of none build
whereas a full team can cover one another
I'm sorry, this is definitely the wrong chat. I'm new here and to DRG and I can't seem to send a message in the general chat or the off topic chat. Am I missing something or is it just a restricted community?
Yeah m8 its pretty fked
you just need
to get a role tho
go to #welcome-and-rules and react for roles
Yeah^
if you can't/it won't let you (happened to me), just leave and rejoin, that solved it
Oh weird. Thanks I got it now 👍
on one successful attempt (with a full random team) i brought an ecr lok-1 and overdrive booster shard diffractor with ssgs; ecr deals with most things and shard diffractor is good for large things (including patrol bots, dreads, even supplements the primary for mactera) and ssgs help keep stuff off me if it gets too close and i need a bit of breathing room (esp. swarmers)
on another successful attempt (host decided they wanted to do edd after I joined) i picked a gunner with ntp fear thunderhead plus lead spray brt (normally i prefer to bring a more accurate secondary to complement ntp but since i knew i'd be fighting dreads i sacrificed accuracy for damage) - that build lacked accurate DPS at range but ideally that would be covered by a teammate (either scout or engi)
Idr feel like generalist builds help that much
I mean someone recommended me a generalist build and I just couldn't make it work so maybe its just a skill issue on my end but each obstacle involved in the edd feels like smth you build towards
Like a 4.5 Rival presence
Or a 5.0 mactera plague black box
Ider what level 3 had I haven't gotten there i just know its OSR
Swarmaggedon maybe?
yeah i'm not sure what i'd run if i needed to do it solo
With one of the beneficial mutators
Idr which tho
I'm stupid we have it pinned
Volatile guts
maybe that engi build i mentioned if i needed to go solo
either that or exec + rj250 for more mobility
and swap the weapon roles around
I'm not a fan of rj250 tbh
Too much self damage
Also feels like its too hard to use in conjunction with platforms
Is it me or do stingtails and exploders sometimes just not do the sound effect theyre balanced around
Its getting really fucking annoying to randomly explode
Or get grabbed without the squeaky toy warning telling me im going to get command grabbed and lose half my hp in a single hit
Agreed that self damage is an issue, though you can always use it only in a pinch, or sometimes to get somewhere more easily when things are calm and shield is full. And then otherwise it's still a horde clearing tool with a nice ammo buff (note that fire mod is a must)
would mainly be to help with the annoying stage 3 terrain, though just plats is probably enough
also yeah i feel like if there are too many sounds going on at once it ends up suppressing some which is bad for something like the stingtail attack sound or exploder about to explode
Nah ill legitimately just check the map and suddenly die
Maybe for stingtails its not the sound bugging out but being drowned out (tho it doesn't feel like it cause the other bugs aren't that loud) but for exploders there's nothing going on cause they spawn in little mini swarms
No swarm music playing no active shooting just
I'm hacking or reading a map or mining and boom
or i'll be reviving someone and yoink
even if u never use the rocket jump ability, rj is by far the best oc on pgl
Still trying to beat the edd
Me too i didnt actually give up
Trying the scout build i was given earlier except with AISE GK2 and trifork volley
Haven't finished the 1st part
This is my third nemesis
In the middle on the boss fight
Arent these cunts supposed to be rare

I finally made it to stage 2
Couldn't kill the 3rd nemmy but I managed to chase down the arbalest, kill it, dodge a command grab and kite until drop pod
This was such a bullshit run so far but I somehow made it
im not even thinking its worth the elite lmao
Its not
Not to solo at least
But I made it to stage 2 which is where my driller set up insta died
But im using pheromone scout
So hopefully black box is better
I have been chased by an infinite swarm for nearly 15 minutes
I cannot accomplish anything
For every glyphid I kill a get another mini swarm
I fucking hate this elite
I fucking hate point extraction
I fucking hate whatever stupid algorithm made this elite deep dive
cryo?
Lol
elite deepdive mactera swarm is hell
Korlok weed 
Man people really need to watch solo runs of the edd on yt and learn from them, maybe that way they at least get the weapon oc lol
I finally finished EDD after listening to some advices here. A three dwarf team with proper mics and CC stuff (fear & pheromone) works better than the 4 dwarf teams I kept failing with
Guys, hello, the question is not on the topic of the channel. I can't write in chats and all voice channels are blocked. I'm writing here because I can't go to other chats. What should I do so that I can write to chats?

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

can't wait to retry the next EDD several times again
go to welcome channel, pick a role after reading
read #welcome-and-rules and pick a role
Can we pin this or change Welcome, i feel like people ask this every damn day
Multiple times a day💀
Can you restrict this channel for people with a role as well, so they have to read first instead of asking right away?
Should be same @ everyone permissions as for #drg-chat
to be fair, it is not very clear that the #welcome-and-rules channel is where you get your roles
#welcome-and-rules channel hv damn long paragraph that you can make a whole story book or dictionary out of it
Need to be simpler and just lock the whole server until ppls react and take roles in welcome channel
Ez
Not specifically deep dive but msg got drowned in #drg-chat
When i play engi in refinery I often use a few platforms to easily build a pipeline, until a driller comes to tear it down and drill for a slightly shorter pipeline.
My logic for using platforms is that i can place my turrets to be able to protect almost an entire pipeline, something they cant do when its partially underground.
Am i wrong, does it not matter, or is it dependent on how far of a detour the pipeline makes with platforms vs tunnels?
Does not matter.
Pipes will burst even if you somehow have no bugs on it, its coded to burst after x seconds(depending on number of players)
So people mostly favour the shortest route, ideally if it only has 1 joint if you are lucky
Open pipes are easier to cover, but tunnels make killing a ton of bugs at once easier.
There’s really no reason to favor one over the other
Bugs don’t actually break pipes. They’re simply attracted to them after they break
tunnels better imho, driller can start immediately laying pipes while you help scout get the ceiling veins and complete the secondary objective
as stated above pipes will burst no matter what so there is little point in protecting the pipes, i use my turrets to protect myself and the supply drops
thanks yall, a lot of very usefull info
With the Blackbox stage we just dropped it and had the gunner shield us when the flyers came.
@grand dawn go to #welcome-and-rules and get roles
Why even restrict that channel to need a role to access it anyway
Just leave it open for all to see
@still flare get roles on #welcome-and-rules
done
fuckin
EDD?
More importantly, why block general channels but leave this endgame content channel open for all new joins to spam 🤔
Just need to mute users completely until they pick roles, works in other discord servers. (Or don’t mute at all)
/soapbox
I asked to have it changed in #suggestions earlier because of that very logic but my comment got deleted lol
I guess they don't have any leniency despite not having a dedicated channel for discord.....on their discord
Did EDD reset?
Not yet, pins show reset time
Ok maybe I get to run again tonight. Need my fix before it goes away
Any tips for doing this edd solo?
Me and my team keep failing at the beginning of the second stage of this edd due to low Annie and mactera, any tips?
Ammo*
ran it 5x2 earlier and a good gunner shield and me having 4 cryo grenades made the beginning ez
fear mods are very good against mactera too, like using partial shots on coilgun and scout m1k
i request a person to carry me in the elite deep dive (only to stage 2, i dont need cosmetic cores)
and teach me along the way
how manageable would solo gunner on this edd refinery be
i dont think length will matter but will i have to dig a cope staircase just to get to one
Gunner makes it to stage 3 the easiest but gets walled by stage 3
Driller is hit or miss
Sludge bodies stage 1 gets bodied by stage 2
Cryo gets walled by stage 1
In theory if you somehow made it through all the nemesis spawns from the turret room and twins fight taking forever you could body stage 2 and stage 3 should be easier cause driller on OSR is always easy
Crspr is somewhere inbetween
Not as good against stage 1 but not as bad in stage 2 but also
PE mactera plague
Not good enough
scout and engineer felt the easiest
can dm you my solo gunner run of it if you want, had to get creative with the pipes
sure. 
Chem rounds +feedback loop x4. Ik it's bad for dreads but they are the least of the problems this edd gives you
Chem rounds should be nerfed
Nice! Good work

Yippee
welp i made possibly the most annoying pipe setup but its done
New dives tomorrow :D
hope new edd isnt as annoying as the current one
you fellers should post your pipe setups for solo gunner 💀
Oh gosh this edd would be insane on solo gunner
heehoo
It was hella annoying as engi(the driller didn't know how to drill to pumpjacks so I had to do it by myself)
you just gotta get creative
Wsg chat
- proceeds to manually dig towards the highest pumpjack *
want to see how i did it
dawg literally propped the third pipe up from the second pipe
i'll be playing more refinery to cook up stupid pipe placements
half the time the driller and the engi both build separate pipes to the same pumpjack
mfs get too caught up in keeping the pipes seperate never touching each other
I just had the sweatiest elite deep dive you could imagine
I don't know how but I only died once
what're the reg deep dive objectives this week?
check pins
Pinned message
I think you need to pick a role first in the welcome thread
can someone help me with my first deep dive?
Try this weeks normal DD, it’s pretty easy. You’ve got <t:1694084400:R> left
man that turret firing squad on stage 1 of edd is brutal
Try to dig below it if you have a driller and then disable the controller
Otherwise it takes a lot of time and ammo
If you go to the right of the turret control room and only pick off whoever can shoot you at that angle you're more or less free to take the control station and skip half the turrets
Thats if rng doesn't cuck you by spawning in shit to stop your hack you push you out of the right side
Theres also a spitter that doesn't have los on you
For most of the room tbh he can only hit you for like, a third of the area
my team just meh
This weeks EDD is soooo wacky
This was a tough one either way
the sheer number of bugs and the lack of cover make this one pretty hard
even if i bunker and point to the whole no one uses it
true. We managed to not make use of it
prob should have resupplied before end of 1st stage

ATTENTION MINERS!

Goaded too bad my timers are glitched out otherwise I'd watch it counting down
elite act 1 , ez game. elite act 2 insane
it says mactera plague, more like mactera armageddon
Haha yeah The strange abundance of wireless tasers is also quite concerning
guess im not gonna finish this current elite dive
ive played haz 5 and elite dives before, did they increase the difficulty
No it's the same difficulty they just want to give you hope in the first stage by giving you almost enough nitra for two supply crates and then they take that hope and shatter it over your head with the force of a thousand crackheads as a way for the devs to remind you that your fate is in their hands and if they want you will not have fun
Oh so far the best luck I've had with the current elite deep dive was three engineers to one Gunner mostly because turrets help with the copious amounts of enemies that appear almost immediately after you drop into stage 2
my current plan on act 2 is not complete all the aqaurq since the free turrets dissapear
If someone in Europe needs help with EDD, last chance now
Soon™
Do they disappear I thought they stayed with the platform cuz only a small piece of it goes flying I don't know I haven't been able to leave the starting room because pain
if you bring all aquars, the pod goes up and the turrets stop but its blackbox time
cuz we got 2 objectives
Damn
I played through the entirety of a wu long fallen dynasty with no armor no weapons without dying more than once per level and even compared to that that's just not fair

babe wake up new deep dives just dropped

What is the layout this week?
Who knows
Weekly Deep Dives information for 2023-09-07 to 2023-09-14.
Deep Dives will reset <t:1694689200:R>
DEEP DIVE 
Region: Radioactive Exclusion Zone | Code Name: Infested Core
Stage 1:
2 Mini-mules +
150 Morkite |
Rival Presence
Stage 2:
On-Site Refinery +
Hiveguard |
Volatile Guts
Stage 3:
250 Morkite +
Classic |
Haunted Cave
ELITE DEEP DIVE 
Region: Salt Pits | Code Name: Broken Wilderness
Stage 1:

2 Eggs |
Regenerative Bugs
Stage 3:
200 Morkite +
2 Mini-mules | No Mutator
regenerative bugs seems cakewalk compared to the previous mactera armageddon
Yup.
no dreadnaught, no oil refine, no sabotage = good edd
yeah, its so much enjoyable
honestly this act 3 seems waay easier than act 2. it that normal or just rng
I have a feeling a lot of people who are going to be trying deep dives for the first time are going to be very confused why they're getting attacked by a ghost bulk detonator in the final stage
Compared to last week or a little over a few hours ago drinking broken razor blades and hot sauce doesn't sound that bad
I'm doing it right now it's honestly not that much different from just running regular haz five missions
Last week's just sucked I died stage 3
I got sent to California by a stingtail and broke my legs
You got to stage 3 I got to stage 2 and that was it and not only did I get to Stage 2 I couldn't get past the first or second waves in stage 2 on account of you know little to no ammunition and the inability to collect enough nitrogen time to get a supply pod before I get swarmed by the wireless tasers and The horde of weaponized flying sedans
I'm just going to assume for the sake of my sanity that what you mean by CBT isn't what my brain first thought of when it saw CBT
This week's edd sounds way better than the normal DD it's just gonna be a bit annoying due to has 5 fun times
Haz 5 funny moments
Cognitive behavioral therapy
Oh my God I just realized those were there I had hope for stage 3
They seriously need to add actual proper side objectives to dd instead of just you getting two main objectives and that's it
2 secondaries
Ebonuts and fossils as gunner
I might run driller for this edd hmmmm
Maybe sludge and pp
Maybe cave leech generation be funny but always look up,
I would go insane if there's more than 1 refueling
Let me put it like this heightened senses is worth it just this once
The Dive looks like HELL at the end.
least its not twins for the 100000th time
NO
NOOOOOO
PLEASE NO
I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE GONE DRILLER
THERE IS A WELL IN A DEEP PIT ON 2ND STAGE OF REGULAR DEEP DIVE

nvm its not that bad, the little decorative crystals generate perfectly to make a staircase for the pipe

I attempted my 2nd EDD last week and we failed at 95% refinery, felt like hell with swarmaggedon
Never won an EDD, I saw the Reddit post and the objectives for this EDD looks...maybe deceptively easy? Is it actually harder than it looks? Kinda wanna at least finish one EDD in my life
last week was cursed, idk the last time I failed so much
I can't remember the last time I was the only one alive out of four a full squad for 20 minutes while being chased by only one of the twins the only one alive being chased by one I did eventually revive everybody but I came so close to dying so many times
Compared to last week it's a cakewalk
Bruh
Bummer
Last week wasn't even that hard
Ur lucky am not a minor
Be careful out there
And so what if you were I'm a minor
Ban
You fool you fell into my trap
🤨
💀
Whar
How's the edd compared to last week ( I failed miserably last week stage 3 after 3-4 attempts)
Ok so this week solo EDD def seems engi or gunner best bet just from looking
edd's pretty boring
maybe except that 1 bulk that spawned right on top of the box when we started it
What class
Better than 12 macteras chasing me in solo aquarq and black box

what is this uplink spawn on the first stage of the deep dive?
@glacial night I read the doc. They essentially use the same platform setup. It’s not a pyramid exactly but it’s just alternating platform layers
This week Edd bad?
Easier from what I heard
Awesome, finally Haunted Cave. Too bad it's just the normal DD
I haven't seen the Haunted Cave modified since Season 2, I think
Is it just me or did the Ghost Det not show up to work this week?
although, stage 3 swarms are nightmarish
man, was just about to do the EDD last night but I was too tired 😦
man this normal deep dive was super long as a (accidentally) solo gunner
every single morkite vein was on the cieling and cave gen as crazy hard to navigate with zips
sounds like a scout mission unless stage 2 has particularly bad wells
Just get bosco to do it
Honestly the dd looks worse than the edd because of haunted
haunted is easy just tell one player to lure the ghost
I know it’s not too hard but it’s just annoying to put up with
Besides that ghost is a sneaky bastard
you can see it on the map
You can
and it makes a lot of noice lol
But that won’t stop em from sneaking up on ya in a swarm or something
Also hate listening to em in downtime
I mean it's just the same as a bulk just with infinite health, go around him or something 
use your tools
Still hate putting up with it
why is stage 2 od the dd so vertical
maybe If it was on edd It could messy, but it's haz 3 swarms so
there might be a ghost, but there isnt a horde of enemies that will kill everyone you love in seconds
bring back last week edd, it was fun 
I have seen way worse over the years, can't remember now but definitely have seen worse
u should be thankful it wasn't on magma core lol
Okay, I haven't done very many deep dives, but I was taking a look at my stats and saw that my driller has the best time of 34 minutes and 18 seconds. On a scale of one to ten, how good is that? (This would also be one of my first deep dives that set that record)
hey guys, I was wondering why all the voice channels have been locked lately?
Is there any roll I need to select to be able to join voice channels?
you need a role.
also wrong chat 
I am sorry! Thank you for your help :)
our 5-man got run over in edd stage 2
our game was lagging bcos of the sheer number of enemies
the moment my shard diffractor ran out of ammo there was a swarm
and we got run over
5-man and no one running pheromones 
Is 3-3-1-1-2 good for big Bertha if I’m bringing it into deep dive
Or would 2-2-1-1-2 be better
How do I report this guy who just randomly kicked me on the 3rd stage of a DD
How did you start edd with more than 4 players?
I thought it was crashing if you go with more than 4
Go read the #welcome-and-rules page plz
Select a role is all that's needed I believe but should also pick what platform you play on
is it always that the deep dive chat is cluttered with newbies not knowing what to do?
s
thank you!
hello
Yes
God this normal deep dive is rough solo
yeah lmao, i just had a hard time with the hiveguard
Will the haunted cave thing agro on one player the whole time or does it change
You can shoot it for aggro
Do the special beers work for the entire dive, or just the first mission?
I personally like 3-2-3-1-2 (C-B-C-A-B) the best. Choosing more ammo in tier 1 gives 165 more ammo compared to more mag size, which is really noticable. For tier 2 and 3 you dont really need the extra rate of fire growth since big bertha doesnt have a big max rate of fire, so you can just choose bigger top rate of fire in tier 2 and more damage in tier 3 (you will really see the difference with +4 damage). Tier 4A for sure, tier 5 is up to your preference but I think the fear is indeed the strongest
Entire dive
did they?
is this just a bug or did they do it intentionally?
oh
It looks like i was just joining some server that was with the last weeks deep dive
idiot
Nah they're not an idiot. A lot of new players just don't realize you have to restart the game
I mean... You thought it reverted even tho it's pinned to the channel
People make mistakes
i was talking about myself being an idiot, sorry for the misunderstanding
Oh all good lol.
Clearly I too made a mistake 🤣
I was about to ask if you were talking about yourself again
reading the last few messages was a trip
Ty I’ll try it and see how it goes
yeah my way of writing is pretty incoherent
to whoever designed this map
may a detonator explode in your face
and i know someone designed this because this is a deep dive and its still the same layout no matter how many times you replay it
Wrong, they use a random generator like for any other mission, but they save the map's seed and it stays the same the whole week
my point still stands
it was the most frustrating deep dive i have ever done
the slopes are too damn steep, the wells too far from the refinery and dont get me started on that damn haunted cave
Looks a lot easier than last week’s even then
Terrain doesn’t remain an obstacle for long in a full team
i played last weeks deep dive
how is this any easier
mind you i played by myself the first time
and that was when i had chosen gunner
The mutators, mainly.
The mactera plague on stage 2 last week was downright oppressive
Granted I’m talking EDD.
Regular DD feels easy to me no matter what, though haunted cave is just annoying
and and a haunted cave with a dreadnought hunt in it is the most infuriating experience
I’d never even try that solo
I could do it easily enough but I’d hate myself the whole time
i was trying to get to the next room of the last stage of the deep dive for the rest of the morkite
and the compact dirt tunnel was ABOVE where i was for some reason
and so i tried to zipline up there but that ghost kept slamming the ground causing me to get forcefully down
which btw, whoever programmed that thing where if youre hit on the zipline you get forcefully removed from it, may a detonator explode in your face
and then i got down and bosco didnt have enough revives left so
here we are
why didnt u just walk away a bit to get the ghost away from your zipline and then walk back to zip up
because as soon as i tried to lead it away it stomped the ground and downed me
sounds like u let it get too close
because i was trying to get to the compact dirt entrance that was ABOVE THE FLOOR
that's pretty common on morkite mining missions
no it isnt! ususally the entrance is right on the floor or a few inches but this one was literally a few feet above me
Hear me out. Gunner with the auto cannon equipped with 80% damage reduction can ace an elite deep dive change my mind.
i had to use my zipline to get up there
yeah thats pretty common
youre either a masochist or a maniac
id say i see cave generation like in roughly 1/3 of morkite mining missions
and as u noted multiple times your zipline provides an easily available solution to it regardless
It’s certainly not a meta build. But I’ve survived been slapped by dreadnoughts and bulk on haz 5 and lived was a thrill to say the least
i missed the jump from my zipline to the EDGE of the dirt entrance, had to pick a hole through it of course
then i tried to do it again and please scroll up for what happened after that
so u didn't properly account for the threat of the ghost bulk, misplaced a zipline, failed a jump, and then didn't bail out of the situation early enough to escape the ghost bulk
all while not considering hte possibility of just throwing a shield down to push the ghost away
and after dying enough times that bosco was out of revives
yet its the fault of the deep dive's cave gen?
first off, it killed me before i tried to launch a shield
secondly i said i tried to lead it away when it stomped the ground and downed me
is there any way to play old deep dives? any mod or something
Just ignore em.
But one thing to highlight: compacted dirt owes you nothing and is never guaranteed to be floor level. It just usually is.
As for the ghost, ya he got you and ya might've been able to fix it but he tends to be more of a pain on solo. Just takes time, practice and enough downs to learn the way. Don't sweat it
That being said, they make good points. But yet again, failing a mission sucks but there's often something to learn from
yeah
Same sentiment but for the normal deep dive was also oddly rough
this week regular stage 2 is the worst one ive seen
knowing salt pits, youngling control is probably the most important thing
guess I can't take cryo driller 😔
hi
roly polies be yeeting you
we got team wiped in my first try because of them lol
btw since you are new here pick roles on #welcome-and-rules to get access to other channels
Guess what i did
I remember watching a video about that, prob a quick search on yt will help u

Is that a no or a yes

leech cluster is always funny
What are the missions in the deep dive this week?
📌
Hellfire, big bertha or jet fuel homebrew?
PBM?
Im looking for a build to solo elite deep dive
So i was wondering what would be the best
hellfire + any single target primary build should suffice
my power went out during a deep dive
: (
I found a lootbugs and named him Oswald and then he died
lol lost stage 2 because we decided on bunker and a bulk spawned
and there was too much crap outside that killed us
How's the new deep dives?
Works for me
connection bruh
For some reason mod hub did a thing, go to mod hub and check the max players
It got set back to 4 when it's usually 8
did entire stage 1 again just for connection to drop
i'd rather do stage 2 of last week than stage 2 of this
problem is a
spawns and then it's impossible to recover
also stingtails and roly polys to disrupt iw stuff
Eyyyyy
meh. Round 3 escape is hell
Hellfire is great with either ls ls or big bertha
wtf is this act 1 spawn
i ran it anyways. at one point i started killing them with tcf shots
the real problem is when you're sitting back and doing the uplink/fuel and killing bugs and then a
shows up to the party
and suddenly you need to scramble out of position
so is it worth having 3/4 on uplink so 1 can aggro big bois away
stage 2 of last week, lies

What y'all been averaging for EDD completion time this week? Tryna see if I can squeeze dub in while finishing my laundry
It looks like a smooth ride this week. Easy objectives and only 2 mutators
maybe about an hour or so. add an hour for each bulk that spawns during uplink
can be faster if you're quick
stage 3 is a cakewalk
yes if its a bulk but otherwise just kill it
40
my avg is 40 - 35
sometimes if my team is green it'll take longer
Dope, thank you. Def faster than me. I tend to average like 42 - 52 but I run pubs
ROCK AND STONE
Meanwhile my team was just getting rolled and bodied by stage 2
1
be me
scout gaming
land in the middle of 3 spitballer EDD stage 2
oh no
got spit-roasted lmao
Do Solo Deep Dives count toward the 'Complete 100 solo missions' achievement?
me and another greenbeard are doing the elite dive rn
very easy elite dive
stage 1 nemesis is a bit rough and leech spawns without a competetent scout are a bit rough but meh
Just look up
I've never done a haunted cave mission so this should be interesting
I have found my answer: Solo Deep Dives do not count towards the 'Complete 100 solo missions' achievement. :|
Same
Check the Pinned messages and you'll find it
yes sorry i didnt see your og question, dd/edd does dont count towards milestone progression or seasonal challenges either
It's okay, don't worry about it. Either way, at least I got to complete this week's Deep Dive and get it out of the way. :)
dont worry, when you play for long enough and get accustomed to the game, youll find dds/edds are not that hard anyway. keep at it fellow dwarf
Feel like DDS are easier then a bad has5s
cause DDS only go up to has 3.5 i think
so, pretty easy
That moment when the regular DD looks harder than EDD this week 
It’s 3 3.5 and 3.5 levelling in DD
There's jet boots in the first level of EDD
Like
Regardless of what else happens
Being able to get all the nitra at the first level makes it kinda easy
I'm shit with pheromone bolts but
If your team doesn't shoot the mf it's so beautiful to phero a opressor
Or a stingtail if you really hate them
just predrill if you don't mind taking more time
How do I get permission to post in the main chat?
#welcome-and-rules, pick role
Me and someone else took randoweiser, just started DD 
It's a deep dive so
If you die and replay it's way easier to develop leech paranoia
Already got it from normal play, always looking up like a paranoid dwarf
What does disabled inertia inhibitor do i dont get what it means
It takes into account your motion when calculating the trajectory of the grenades
Without DII the game will compensate your motion and make you shoot as if you were not moving
Let’s say you’re falling down with engie
You shoot a platform at the ground but it takes a slow amount of time to reach it.
With disabled inertia inhibitor the speed of your fall is transferred to the projectile, firing out the platform fast as your fall potentially softening fall damage.
It doesn’t speed up the fire rate
It speeds up how fast the projectile travels depending on how fast you’re moving
bro why does the grenade launcher have this
is it useful in any way
rj250 maybe?
drinks i would suggest for the elite deep dive:
red rock blasters - you die less due to you having more health
dark morkite ale - two of the three stages require mining morkite, so this is a good choice for the edd
That goes for normal DD probably as well. Lotta morkite either way this week
Let’s you break fall with rj250 yeah
the edd 2nd stage terrain is wild
Who up rockin they stone rn
Rock and stone
spud, you should get your roles in welcome, since you dont have any
im dying repitetively on the second stage
yeah they really got a lot of nitra there
third stage was a piece of cake
i have a major skill issue with big swarms
Wheres the message showing what the dd and edd is
its pinned
How do i See pinned
Oh wth i gathered now sorry
This edd looks suprisingly easy, anyone done it yet
not so easy if you are trash like me
Rock and stone
gunner and hurricane with AoE 😁
You gotta get used to fighting and kiting simultaneously
The better you are at movement the longer you have to kill everything
yes
2nd stage is a bit cancer if you engi
solo
How's this week's normal dd
Mutators are annoying apparently
its easy
hey guys i did the normal deep dive now but 3rd stage had cave leech cluster isntead of ghost
which one had ghost?
does disabled intertia inhibitor work with dash?
read #welcome-and-rules and pick a role btw.
I got it too. Instead of haunted cave it was cave leech cluster.
Oh. And I got exploder infestation on stage 1 EDD
can you give a greenbeard some tips to stop dying on stage 2 of the EDD?
maybe some builds that are good for the edd, or just simple tips
bot
Do not rush on unexplored territory alone, you may die and make it hard for the rest to recover you. Do not stand still, always keep moving and have a 360 view of what's comming towards you. Always check for leeches.
thanks
ban me
why
I can’t
Gunner with carpet bomber thunderhead
Watch bugs melt before your eyes
Or play sticky flames driller, he's good too
i dont have overclocks for driller or gunner unfortunately
How to not get put into a jar with rocks and be shaken up
How to get anakin to kill these younglings
younglings are easy to kill with the LOK autorifle
use thunderhead if you want to tickle the bugs to death
just use the hurricane
its pretty good base
If thunderhead tickles them then hurricane just asks the bugs nicely to die
IQ lvl?
wait i thought enor pearls didnt spawn in deep dives
man the 2nd cave is trash
They don't. Only nitra, gold and mission objectives
Tho you can get other minerals if there's a hoarder in the mission
then why is zaidant talking about pearls in the deep dive chat?
which deep dive? elite or normal?
Wrong channel probably
Dunno
for the edd, stage 1 is fairly easy, you have jetty boots in the starting room, just watch for leeches, nemesis, and bulks
stage 2 is hard mostly because you have a lot of stuff to clear in the room (with regen bugs) and the terrain around the drop pod for uplink is difficult
basically the drop pod is in a bit of a pit, and quite a few nasty bug types can spawn - mactera, wardens, stingtails, spreaders, q'ronar younglings. And also bulks
bulk during uplink/refuel is really bad if your team doesn't immediately do something to keep it away or kill it, and the q'ronar and stingtails make recoveries hard if the team starts going down
since you can pop an iw and not be able to do anything useful with it (such as reviving someone or grabbing a supply)
nitra isn't really an issue so you're better off making sure you're well-stocked for the uplink phase rather than conserving supplies
unless you're truly wasteful
stage 3 is a cakewalk - pretty much just a simple mining mission
there's probably a case for preferring field medic or some other perks over iw given all the displacement enemies in stage 2
isn't nemesis a chance to spawn
yeah it's probably not a 100% but it's good to know it can show up on stage 1
like, iw+vampire combo should still be okay if you iw vamp then run, but that's probably not going to save an uplink gone wrong
uplinks suck ass
whereas with field medic if someone goes down during the uplink you just go and instant res them
even under a shield you can still get messed up by q'ronar
1 question : Why is it no longer possible to vaccum the rockpox boss floor thing? had a fight with it twice today, and no me nor my teammates could deal with floor infestation, it was not like this week ago, can you help me out?
I am talking about contagious spikes that corruptor make while walking
bit late and a different deep dive cuz I didnt have time that week but there u go 😂 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/447026669849542656/1149853202854969354/image.png
you are a picky miner) something was left behind you know)
Did the DD solo randoweisser gunner
I had to build the sketchiest pipeline ever on stage 2
it's a bug
Also, did the dread on stage 3 of the DD get stuck and refuse to move for anyone else
can you report it?
it's already been fixed, we just need for the patch to come out.
good…
do we have any achievement, by pushing stands (4) saying free beer, like with barrels?
im just saying, nothing really stopped me from progressing achievement team B or how its named
Every chat thing says “done reading? Check out bla bla bla” am I able to type in those or no
Im new to discord
on desktop its just not allowing to write
(i guess im not making a mess writing something not dedicated to deep diving (but Ive sent the screen shot of my deep dive so… im legit?)…)
read #welcome-and-rules and pick a role
thanks
Looking for people to do the elite deep dive with I’m a gunner
wasn't that fixed this morning? #patch-notes-steam message
hmm, or is it a announcement-with-no-patch
my friend is playing the new deep dive and got a nemisis on stage 1 lol
also i had cave leech cluster on stage 3 not haunted cave
Then you're not playing the latest deep dive
HE GOT A BULK DETONATOR ON STAGE 2
i was
oh images can't be sent here
The seed is the same for everyone
You can send links if you want
or post pictures in #drg-gallery
ok i'll go to gallery
This doesn't tell me you got cave leech cluster on stage 3
Also
i was being caught by so many cave leeches
saying there were cave leeches =/= cave leech cluster warning
my friend says they saw cave leech cluser (i was streaming my game to them)
@devout lotus
DD's stage 3 will always be haunted cave this week
That's different
there was like,- YEA
Even without a cave leech cluster warning there can be 20+ leeches in a cave
there was also no haunted thingy cuz i didn't hear as much screaming
plus, if it were haunted, wouldn't that mean that i would've been running from something
i did not have to run from a single thing that whole mission
i remember reading cave leech cluster
Are you sure it wasn't EDD's stage 1 ?
it was stage 3
heyy guys why cant i join any servers or write in any other caht?
i had to mine morkite and kill the classic dreadnaught
Get a role in #welcome-and-rules
nope cuz she was in the radioactive zone
zero mods. i play vanilla
I'd be curious to see that cave leech cluster warning then
i'd play it again to see if i get it again but i wanna take a shower
i'm doing the deep dive as we speak i can see what i get
i got cave leech cluster as well
SEND PICTURE
Could you send me a picture ?
yessir
i haven't had time to do it prior to today
ohhh that’s why
this seed is super wacky too
one of the dirt patches in stage 3 is completely covered and you can’t see the actually opening to the rest of the cave
That happens sometimes in regular missions
definitely should check it out. this stage is so broken lol i wish the best of luck to speed runners on stage 2 that steep hill is HORRENDOUS
Another bug that's been happening is for large meteors to literally disappear upon crashing
So you can collect the plaguehearts without having to deal with the rock cracking
sounds like a blessing tbh
hey, me and my friends are doing the edd and for some reason its different than what the pinned message says its supposed to be. has this happened to anyone else and does anyone know why?
We were actually talking about the same thing happening in the deep dive
The last patch seems to have changed the seed
should we let @eager flame know about it?
Well since you pinged, they'll probably be aware of it
👀
The thing is i think the devs will reload the seed to have the original one back
The seeds have been rerolled due to last patch
I have been summoned
When i did the DD (on thursday), what you wrote was the correct one
However it seems that people got different deep dives, cf Millie with the cave leech on stage 3 & @gleaming kernel with their EDD
Need some visual proof for that
But either way i will put a warning for it
Give me a sec to check
i can do it again to get pictures
I'll check the EDD
Anyway, thanks for warning me about it, i don't play drg anymore so it is nice to have people help when something happens
ye i just so happened to start the deep dive today and was like woa something is different
So the game decided to change a single mutator
nothing else

same thing happened in regular DD
yeah
Got rocked by cave leech cluster
Stage 3 moved from Haunted cave to cave leech
on stage 3
Stage 1 on EDD moved from cave leech to exploder
I have been deceived, betrayed even
Instead of the spooke you got the succ
mission control is leaking false intel, hes on rival company
and is actively trying to get miners killed
how could they! ;0
aye @limber heath why you lyin to us like that
That's the wrong one 
So is anything else other than stage 3 dd and stage 1 Edd changed
I did the dd but don’t remember what I did
no
oh yeah
perhaps the enemy spawns
It might be something that slightly changed as well
I do know there were 2 bulks on stage 2 for us
We got 3
Made good practice for the driller and his cryo cannon
I don't remember whether disruptive pools are the same in a same DD or nah
but if they do, then they might have changed
stage 2 is SO BIG
How is the difficulty of deep dives? havent played one before
Normal DD is easy. Haz3 and 3.5
Try it
my pc crashed and my steam saves are gone including drg is there a way to restore them?
Should I have all upgrades unlocked first or if not the still fine?
Options -> save menu -> restore save
Hi
If you can play haz 4 you can do deep dives no problem
elite deep dives can get ridiculous, maybe get used to haz 5 first
Hello does anyone know how the rewards of deep dives work?
first stage gives a blank core
second stage gives a weapon overclock core, which needs to be forged
third stage gives a cosmetic core, which also needs to be forged
normal deep dive and the elite deep dive (EDD) can each be completed once a week for their rewards
