[exotic belfry]

Def try a CC build, especially if you have a good driller running something with slow. A gunner CC + driller slowdown is crazy good at dealing with swarms.

[finite vigil]

atm I'm running CBCBB/32322 for it

that good for EDD NTP or maybe try something else

I do wanna keep the last one for fear factor

[patent elk]

I run 33122 for ntp. You can switch to 3 for tier 3 if you feel you're burning ammo too fast but it's mainly there to proc suppressive fire more often.

[finite vigil]

suitable secondary? Six Shooter?

[exotic belfry]

Not who you asked, but for NTP I typically run a secondary that has good DPS and sufficient accuracy at range to cover the inaccuracy and generally low single target DPS of NTP.

6 shooter should work well

[leaden cypress]

Six shooter, lead spray, mole, compact mags, elephant rounds, exp rounds, etc

basically anything that does ST

[finite vigil]

ye

[leaden cypress]

Most builds are like this anyway

1 CC weapon and 1 ST weapon

[finite vigil]

single target and stun

[leaden cypress]

not necessarily stun

but ST for sure

[patent elk]

Tbh I do meme builds for secondaries since I'm not a fan of any of them but I either do a 22311 bulldog with elephant rounds or a 21221 brt7 with composite casings

[finite vigil]

would run that if I had Elephant rounds

[leaden cypress]

What do you have then

[patent elk]

Others will prob have better builds anyway

I don't have six shooter so idk what it does though

[leaden cypress]

Anything will work on haz5 as long as it's not intentionally made to be bad

[finite vigil]

Six Shooter, Magic Bullets

[leaden cypress]

what about BRT & coilgun

[rancid cedar]

plus if ur running ntp, the game will feel piss easy regardless of secondary

[finite vigil]

I ahve shit memory so I'll let ya know after I'm done with the EDD attempt

[exotic belfry]

https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/"Bulldog"_Heavy_Revolver

Pos.svg +2 Magazine Size
Pos.svg +6 Max Ammo
Pos.svg +2 Rate of Fire
Neg.svg +0.5s Reload Time

More ammo and fire rate, less accuracy and longer reload.

[patent elk]

Thanks

[rancid cedar]

the spread can be negated by taking all the accuracy mods

[grave heath]

b

[finite vigil]

woop done

much better teammates this time round

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-dance-gif-24578055

NTP really helped a bunch

[rancid cedar]

ntp knocks the haz down a few levels

[plain saddle]

https://discord.com/channels/257785731072786435/257785731072786435

why i cant msg in this

[eager flame]

Get yourself some roles sir
#welcome-and-rules

[plain saddle]

thank you

[arctic mist]

Red rock blaster + swarm clear team made a big difference. Had my first 0-down run of an EDD.

[drifting tree]

ideal scout build for EDD this week?

M1K - Zhukov is not working this week lol, feel like I am giving no value

[rancid cedar]

zhukovs aren’t that great without an unstable oc imo

[drifting tree]

running unstable damage OC

good for lasering pretorians, but thinking about switching to pump, just because zhukov ammo use is absurd

[worldly relic]

i completed my first deep dive ❤️

[arctic mist]

Gas recycling?

[drifting tree]

yea

I dont have a lot of overclocks since im level 26 lol

[arctic mist]

Gas Recycling negates weakpont bonuses. You gain direct damage at the cost of weakpoint damage multipliers. It's much better for swarm clear than single target.

[royal raptor]

i never played deep dive

idk why

[drifting tree]

do u just build max damage with it, or focus on more ammo + damage

or does it depend

[arctic mist]

I don't run them often, but when I do, it's with embedded detonators or cryo minelets. It's not a strong gun. There are videos on builds, though.

[drifting tree]

ok thanks

[drowsy tide]

what modifications should i use for my sludge pump?

i also have some overclocks for the gun. Namely: Volatile impact mixture and Goo bomber special

[vale ravine]

I’m a fan of 23222 Volatile Impact Mixture. You retain the grunt 1-shot, can pop charged shots on crowds to decent success, and burst down big boys with normal shot spam

VIM is also really good with Blistering Necrosis CWC, since sludge shots can hit both the blister and the bug at once for a ton of damage

[drowsy tide]

but what should i run with it?

actually i have another question

why do people use the sludge pump over other weapons? What does the sludge pump provide that other weapons cant?

[vale ravine]

Sludge is super flexible compared to crispr/cryo, not only in what targets it can deal with but also how you use it

It’s extremely ammo efficient as well, since one normal shot kills all grunts in a small aoe

[vale ravine]

Heat build epc, NCTC subata and pretty much any cooker build typically do very well with sludge

[drowsy tide]

hmmmm

[kind idol]

Rock and stone!

[soft marlin]

a

[novel spruce]

Man you know you're a terrible player when you can't even make it past stage 2 in the EDD

swarmers + exploders is just evil

[copper basin]

What are some good perks for a deep dive

[tacit iris]

Dash, Iron Will, Field Medic

Resupplier, Vampire, Sugar Rush, Thorns, Born Ready

[thick sapphire]

there's enough room to accidentally pop the cocoon 10 seconds in

[gilded skiff]

Could i do a edd solo?

[thick sapphire]

if you're good enough yes

[gilded skiff]

Im def not😭

[loud sluice]

I've become less of a fan of IW for anything other than an EDD, anyone feel the same?

[gilded skiff]

Iw?

[wanton knot]

iron will

and no, i always run iron will just in case things go horribly south which happens more than id like to admit in regular missions

[gilded skiff]

I never use it that must be personal thing though

[fleet prawn]

turns out it wasn't elite haha! I'm 0-3 on elite so far, got close todayu but not enough to get the job done 😢

[dire forge]

Hello everyone

[shadow temple]

It's ok buddy, out of my 6 EDDs attempted, only my most recent one was a success which I'd definitely attribute to a good team

4 of them I lost after the 1st stage
1 of them I lost after the 2nd stage x.x

[runic relic]

Solo can be easier, dmg/hp scaling is no joke

[turbid dawn]

for those looking for the barrel hoop achievement (3k points) join on me, ive set it up. you only got to get a beer mug and throw it through the hoop and the achievement will pop for you. Please do not kick the barrels. #lfg-steam , will be open for 10 mins

[turbid dawn]

alright 2 dwarves claimed taking the total of dwarves to claim this through my monthly set - ups to 17. RnS folks!

[modern mauve]

Darn, i was working! better luck next time round 😅

[twilit birch]

are enemy spawn pools the same for everyone each dive?

[rancid cedar]

yes

[sharp torrent]

Best buffs for deep dives?

[runic magnet]

[sharp torrent]

[pseudo bolt]

strangely, when we went 4 ppl at the third stage there was hell incarnate: around three spitballers, a TON of leeches in clusters of 3-4, and a bunchload of other bugs just in a minute after a start with detonator, a bunch of slashers and spitters - but that was just bad luck tho
when we went in 2, only 1 spitballer i think, and only a handful of leeches (I wasn't the one dealing with them)
so enemy placements are the same, but with less ppl you still get less of them ig

also there was a spitballer right infront of a droppod at four players, wasn't at two

[forest carbon]

Not sure but some stuff is randomized

The pump jacks where in diff spots last time I did one in EDD. Did it twice in same day

With diff squads and map layout was same but not pump jacks

[unique ore]

its not less of them, its that static spawns are randomized based on number of people

[rough sentinel]

i amnew to DRG, how do deep dives work

am new*

[bitter stump]

Basically
3 missions in a row
And your hp, ammo, and nitra carry over between missions

[rough sentinel]

okie dokie

thanks

what are some good DRG youtubers to watch??

[exotic belfry]

Let me get my list lol

[exotic belfry]

Also you can look in #drg-videos for a bunch of em, but the ones I recomend are:
https://www.youtube.com/@sniss
https://www.youtube.com/@DrillingInTheNameOf
https://www.youtube.com/@GamingExistence
https://www.youtube.com/@ReapeeRon
https://www.youtube.com/@LazyMaybe
https://www.youtube.com/@siirvend

A lot of em dont just do DRG, but their DRG content is great

[hallow spade]

Oh god, this weeks elite deep dive is ridiculous

[rancid cedar]

it’s pretty easy imo

even for an edd

[tacit iris]

Just bring a driller

[outer cloud]

lots of spitballers but pretty easy overall

[opal helm]

What is it

[cerulean bane]

should I promote all four dwarves before actively taking on deep dives or nah?

[idle mirage]

not necessary, just be decent with whatever dwarf you play the most

[unique ore]

it depends on what haz you are comfortable with, DD if you can do haz 3, EDD if you can do haz 5

[half elm]

hi Haobo

[unique ore]

oh dang, floople

[half elm]

oop

[unique ore]

oop

[candid osprey]

Ok so like what did ppl get for their stage 2 OC cus I got a boring clean and I’m sad

[desert lynx]

dds this week kinda boring

easy clear with scattersludge + burning hell driller

[nimble fractal]

not necessary, you can use a crystal to get it up there without issues

unless its somehow changed in multiplayer

[gilded cave]

Hey folks. Is this week's regular deep dive an OK one to bring my greenbeard friend on?

Any rival presence, low o2, or anything spicy for them?

It's their first one. Should we try it or wait?

[tacit iris]

It’s in the pins

[gilded cave]

Shoot, thanks! Appreciate it.

pod 48 needs 2 for deep dive

[supple elbow]

isnt the dreadnought already defined for deep dives?

like it'll be the same for every time you do the same deep dive

[unique ore]

yes, its in the pins which it is

[supple elbow]

cool

[fringe leaf]

i cant speak in drg chat anymore for some reason

or like half the text channels

and i dont have any roles

uh, what should i do

[paper ingot]

@fringe leaf check role selection in Welcome

[fringe leaf]

not there for me

[paper ingot]

on top of the Platforms banner in Welcome on the side bar, you can select one of four characters.

Should give you a role that enables you to participate in all channels @fringe leaf

[fringe leaf]

got it thx, didnt see i had to scroll up, was super confused bc i know ive talked in here before

[paper ingot]

Rock and stone!

[torpid crater]

did both dives today. this week's being my first edd. was fun. got pummeled by a strange abundance of mactera though even without a plague warning

[fleet prawn]

GOT THE ELITE WIN FINALLY, took eight tries 😭 -- gg to the crew !!!

[marble mango]

Gg kal!

Im not in the dive but congrats!

[fleet prawn]

The last stage is insane

I feel if the driller isn't on top of the tunnels fairly quickly, it can get bad really quickly

[worthy iron]

I've just finished edd. Pretty easy. Stage 1 was the hardest, died 3 times

We did it in a duo:me as engineer and my friend gunner

I think the shield is the most important thing to have

[fleet prawn]

Stage 1 is the easiest for me, and 2/3 are hell. And pretty easy? dang you just must be cracked at the game

[worthy iron]

No, I don't think I'm good

Both me and my teammate died ~7 times each

In total

[fleet prawn]

That's really good, do you know if duo's change the bug output compared to a full squad?

[worthy iron]

We found a good place to defend on stage 2 so swarms weren't a problem

[worthy iron]

Probably

[fleet prawn]

I've noticed positioning is crucial

We had a driller that made a fortress and the blackbox was fairly easy

[torpid crater]

we will see next week if I can continue to have no failed deep dives.

it was touch and go in the edd today

[spiral badge]

on DD solo stage 3: woke the second Dread, then got jumped by a bulk

After kiting them both, triggered the bulk and it killed the dread for me. I died too but worth it 🤣

Real dicey at the end, surprise oppy + massive swarm, but made it to the pod with 0 revives, no IW and a sliver of life 😅

[drifting tree]

whats the chance of getting random Dreadnought spawn?

I got one on 1 and 3 stage of EDD

isnt it like 2%, would be like 0.04% chance

[cyan fiber]

e guys is the fatboy good in deep dives or not?

[jovial garden]

Why the fuck are there rockpox in DD's

[crystal willow]

Is it already that time again?

Thanks Mission Control

[crystal willow]

Where?

[jovial garden]

I've gotten 2x so far a rockpox announcement in EDD

[crystal willow]

Weird

No contagion spikes?

[jovial garden]

There shouldn't be any contagion spikes in any Deep Dives

[forest carbon]

The scanner just lit up like a Christmas tree!

[leaden cypress]

How do leech clusters imply the necessity of an engi

[jovial garden]

There's one Liquid Morkite located really high, either an Engi or Driller to make it easier.

[leaden cypress]

Well driller is here for that

Though he seemed concerned by the warning itself, not the stage's main objective

[forest carbon]

It’s out already?

[rancid cedar]

why

[still geode]

you can build pipes on pipes

so if its an elevation issue you can build up

[leaden cypress]

Well i tried and cleared it as engi

but i didn't place a single plat to help driller build the pipes

yes

aside from small changes spawn wise

[crimson iris]

It's doable using a winding tunnel for the high up pump jack

[silent abyss]

So me and my friends have never done a deep dive, is this a good team comp. 1 scout, 1 engine, 2 drillers,

and what's the difficulty they are on, like what haz is it set to

[exotic belfry]

DD is 3 3.5 3.5, EDD is 4.5 5 5.5
https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/Deep_Dives

Generally you want one of each class, but that's not a hard rule and if each person is self sufficient then comp often means very little.

I would check the pinned mesage to see the objectives in the current DD/EDD if you want to know what builds/niches will be important or made useless by the mission.

[torpid crater]

what makes u say that

[exotic belfry]

#drg-gallery message

Prob cause of where a pumpjack spawned, tho it should be possible through stacking pipes or manually mining.

[torpid crater]

ohh that

I was driller and made a tunnel, but the tunnel I made could have been done with a pickaxe if neccessary. Just would taken a few minutes

[exotic belfry]

Yeah, People are being a bit extreme lol

[solid walrus]

depends on what u have

tbh it doesnt matter for vanilla difficulty

[broken meadow]

anybody else having lagspikes and being unable to invite or join games?

[exotic belfry]

Try #bug-discussion for stuff like that, since its almost certainly an issue with your end and not the game as a whole.

[lost prism]

2 deaths on stage 1 of the deep dive

is this good?

[exotic belfry]

I usually aim for 12, but 2 is good for a beginner.

[lost prism]

laydax is a fun guy

[exotic belfry]

Thank you <3

Deaths generally don't matter much, as even the most skilled players get fucked and die pretty often.

[jagged rapids]

Actually tho they really do. I try for deathless runs but I also fully accept and don't care if I die. Most don't

Last EDD screenshot I have shows the team had like 20 downs total. And none of us were greenbeards, but no one cared

Just uh, don't be that player that quits bc ya die a few times. That, people will care about

[sour bridge]

gajbgwosdjsnsjoläsjs************

[lost prism]

stage 3 looking hellish

[unique acorn]

my greenbeard ahh couldnt get to the stage 3

molly got into the way and fell down in a pit of 2 opressors and bet-c

[rancid cedar]

on haz 5 not really

[exotic belfry]

Sure. you should avoid dying, but the number itself doesn't matter much

[rancid cedar]

ye but a skilled player on haz 5 shud pretty much never go down

not saying u shudnt, but if ur good enough it doesnt happen often

especially as scout or gunner

[ember needle]

there are no soundbites on the soundboard yet and I am furious

[random meteor]

DD AITA; guy joins my game, doesnt communicate, calls resupply without asking, i tell him "oplease just ask next time" he gives me an attitude, next mission he still does not communicate anything and calls yet another resup when no one has ammo or health shortage but him. I ban him. Aita?

[burnt sandal]

Aita ?

[random meteor]

(Am i the asshole)

[patent elk]

No

[random meteor]

I understand Deep Dives arent as difficult as EDD's, but wasting resources for selfish reasons jjst rly is not nice and giving someone attitude isnt either

Wasnt a greenbeard issue either since he was level 780 lol

[wanton knot]

if bro aint doing what you asked politely for it's their fault, you good

[crimson iris]

Guy probably figures that since sleepwalking through a dd is pretty easy he didn't need to worry about ammo conservation

Probably figured you guys would grab your resup when you needed it

Also could be that he was killing most of the bugs

Still sucks that he didn't communicate

It's pretty infuriating when that happens

[random meteor]

Hd absolutely didnt sadly

He was rocking the shard diffractor, then going down by the turrets which can easily be taken down if not rushed (what he did) then told me to "chill cuz its just a regular deep dive" even though from our team he'd been the only one to go down thrice

[crimson iris]

💀

That's so annoying

[random meteor]

Yeah it was all a bit embarassing

[bleak halo]

How much nitra did you guys find on the first stage of EDD?

[manic pivot]

_ _
ATTENTION MINERS!
Planet scanning is still in progress, 12 hours left until new Deep Dives!
_ _

[crystal willow]

thanks

[crystal willow]

about 300 after caretaker we had like 180

[bleak halo]

What about the elite one? The one with Morkite and black box.
I died because I ran out of ammo. I think I found like 100 nitra, but the last piece was in the last room and I got overran before I could resupply. I was playing solo as a driller.

[crystal willow]

very little

200 at most

[bleak halo]

Ok. Thank you. I will try to run it again and look better.

[worldly mantle]

hey uh

is this week's regular dive broken or something

i finished the first mission on the dive with some friends and then after going to the mid-way screen and getting our blank core it sent us to the infirmary in the space rig?? and just ended the mission

[untold crane]

Are hosts allowed to just randomly disband the team in the middle of a deep dive

that seems like something that could go either way

[worldly mantle]

probably

i don't see why not

[untold crane]

just an absolute pain

waste of an hour

[cosmic pelican]

host also could've crashed - i ran into a crash on stage 3 of normal DD just now. always a fun time, with "fun" in comedically large air-quotes

at least i got my overclock & blank core, though - that's what matters the most to me lmao

but still it's a very underwhelming way to end off a mission haha

[zenith ember]

oh yeah reset

[broken maple]

Weekly Deep Dives information for 2023-09-28 to 2023-10-05.
Deep Dives will reset <t:1696503600:R>

DEEP DIVE
Region: Crystalline Caverns | Code Name: Evil Tomb
Stage 1: 200 Morkite + 2 Mini-mules | Critical Weakness
Stage 2: 7 Aquarqs + 150 Morkite | Low Oxygen
Stage 3: Industrial Sabotage + 2 Eggs | Regenerative Bugs

ELITE DEEP DIVE

Stage 1: 200 Morkite + Twins | Cave Leech Cluster
Stage 2: 4 Eggs + 2 Mini-mules | No Mutator
Stage 3: 2 Dreadnoughts (Hiveguard + Classic) + 2 Eggs | Lethal Enemies

[hexed agate]

Bruh Industrial Sabotage just sabotaged my dream of solo VR deep dive 💀

But elite deep dive is worth a try

[lost prism]

yeah

the elite deep dive missions are good

[eager flame]

Well well well

[hexed agate]

Yeah

[lost prism]

low oxygen on the normal deep dive

[hexed agate]

now it's time for me to practicing solo haz 5 dreadnaught in VR lol

[eager flame]

pins updated

[zenith ember]

Lethal + hiveguard lol

Time to hear complaints soon

[lost prism]

dreadnoughts do more damage

[hexed agate]

yeah could be a major gap for the most of new players

and 2 eggs in that mission

[lost prism]

just stay away from the dreadnought and dodge the projectiles

[zenith ember]

I dont think dreads are affected by the modifier

[lost prism]

1 swarm

[zenith ember]

But the sentinels yes

[lost prism]

sentinels can be outrun

[hexed agate]

ye dread wont be affacted by warning

[lost prism]

they are just upgraded grunts

[hexed agate]

solo edd could be a little easy this week

[patent elk]

Everyone complains about hiveguard but I always see people die to the classic's aoe attack more than hiveguard lol

At least my experience

[zenith ember]

Every dread has a greenbeard killer

Hiveguard has the3 wave of bombs that no one avoids

[hexed agate]

Bruh if you have a really capable teammates, no dreadnaught will be a problem

[lost prism]

yeah

but most of the time, people you match up with are bronze promotion (me included)

[zenith ember]

Im just saying its prob gonna warrant complaints here

[hexed agate]

especially I have a team of 4, all of them are gray beards with 1000 hrs on record including me lol

[zenith ember]

Never said its a problem or not

[lost prism]

if something causes complaints, it may be a problem

[hexed agate]

it is a problem

[patent elk]

This week's DD missions and mutators look harder than the EDD ones again too lol

[hexed agate]

but tbh, I do believe overclock > cosmetics

[zenith ember]

Nah dd is tame

[hexed agate]

so most player out there might just finishes 2nd stage and quit (maybe?)

[lost prism]

the hazards are lower but the missions are more difficult

[patent elk]

We always get through it but there's always one or two that'll go down every time it does that attack

[hexed agate]

I hate the industrial sabotage

[zenith ember]

How lol

[lost prism]

aquarq missions are hard+low oxygen, the worst mutator
industrial sabotage is industrial sabotage

[zenith ember]

2 easily rushable missions, regen 3.5 is that dont do much dmg

[hexed agate]

yeah, but in most cases one of my teammate literally revived the whole team 😀

[hexed agate]

yeah but most people including me just hate how lengthy the sabotage mission is

[zenith ember]

I agree on the lengthy part

Harder warnings def no

[hexed agate]

well if the cave is not in extremely bad shape, that mutator could be nothing I think

[lost prism]

low oxygen is harder than cave leech cluster and lethal enemies

[hexed agate]

unless it is a giant cylinder 💀

[zenith ember]

???

Managing a resource bar vs double dmg enemies is harder?

[hexed agate]

agree, sometimes even harder than unknown horror

but lethal enemies, well it depends...

[foggy harness]

I don't find unknown horror that difficult

But lethal enemies is scary just because of what it does to certain bugs (cough Grabber)

Low oxygen tho? Pain in the ass ngl.

Wait

No that's elite threat

LMFAO

I mix elite threat and lethal a lot

[hexed agate]

lol sometimes I even using that ghost to clear out swarms

[foggy harness]

As you should

[hexed agate]

elite threat is, meh

if it is not a elite detonator

[foggy harness]

Elite Grabber coming to steal my hopes and dreams

[forest carbon]

Wait dreads get effected by lethal enemies right

[hexed agate]

Y

[foggy harness]

I imagine so. At least the melee attacks are

[forest carbon]

That’s not too bad I guess. I’m thinking their ranged stuff gets buffed

[foggy harness]

But even then, usually you get killed by the random stray dread projectile, and not a melee attack when fighting dreads lol

[forest carbon]

But only the chomp

[vale walrus]

this weeks edd felt super easy

we literally had 500 nitra by the time we got to stage 3

[zenith ember]

the 2 mules helpd alot yeah

nice area for 3rd stage too, both eggs close to spawn

[shadow temple]

Aw hell nah, Aquarq with low oxygen? 💀

[slate stump]

how many stingtails should i expect on edd

[zenith ember]

i didnt get any

all septic

[compact bay]

Jesus christ i didn't have fun during this DD
Stage 1 - Super tight tunnels
Stage 2 - Low oxygen
Stage 3 - sabotage.

at least i got one of the overclocks i was hunting for

[quaint pasture]

I prefer stage 3 sabos since you can just go crazy with the resupplies

[zenith ember]

claustrophobic dd lol

tunnels for ants

[lost prism]

glyphids dug out these tunnels

[true osprey]

damn these tunnels were tight

[rancid cedar]

don’t think theyr in the spawn pool this edd

[thorn halo]

they are,

[rancid cedar]

weird cus iv done this weeks edd 3 times and don’t think iv seen one

[zenith ember]

3x? Why tho

[slate stump]

they did for me on stage 3

[rancid cedar]

huh weird

maybe i got super lucky then? i’m pretty sure i counted the disruptors tho

[slate stump]

wish stage 3 didn't have bugged glyphid dread for me

wouldn't waste so much time

didn't want to follow me at all, kept standing next to wall and screamed

and his stomp attack had some weird delay

[rancid cedar]

ye i just looked through my footage and the disruptors seem to be bulks, wardens and grabbers. So stingtail shud never spawn

Unless the spawn pool changes between runs but im pretty confident it doesn’t

[slate stump]

had stingtails instead of bulks

[rancid cedar]

huh weird, did you use mods?

[slate stump]

no

[rancid cedar]

strange cus whenever i run deep dives multiple times in a row, i usually always get the same disruptors

i wonder if player count or something changes it

[slate stump]

wait you already did it 3 times?

or are you talking about previous week edd

2 dreads 2 eggs mission had stingtails for me though

[leaden cypress]

player count changes the swarm content

Some special events like betC & nemesis depend on player count as well

[rancid cedar]

ohh i’m dum i forgot it switched today. Was talking about last week nvm lmao

[lost prism]

dude its like littered with nitra

by stage 3 of the edd we had like 300 nitra

[candid osprey]

Aquarq low oxygen 🥺🥺

[lost prism]

lethal enemies wasnt that bad

[candid osprey]

The EDD almost looks easier than the normal DD tbh

[lost prism]

oh and jet boots on edd stage 1+2

[noble frost]

pretty easy

i dont think it needs any discussions

[turbid dawn]

6 min split i had, if i was running epc would have been faster

plus a bulk spawned on me

so about a 4 min split is that stage

[wraith shard]

failed the EDD 2 times already with randos...how can people die 10 fcking times as a scout?

[spiral badge]

Not that bad in solo

Bosco, go fetch

[candid osprey]

Fair but I don’t like soloing deep dives tbh

[dusky fjord]

Hey. I'v'e been meaning to DM you about how do you get this information so quck? Is it a mod or?

[bitter stump]

Fall damage (me)

[spiral badge]

The #1 killer of miners

[gusty grotto]

EDD is pretty easy

my other teammate was a level 16 gunner but other than carrying pretty easy

[spiral badge]

You completed it duo? Dang

[gusty grotto]

yeah but im a sweat

[finite vigil]

maaaaaan, lethal enemies on the last stage of EDD

guess I'll stick with NTP

plenty of ammo to pepper the dreadnoughts

[vocal ocean]

i am level 10 scout but i cant see the assigment to get his new gun

[tall relic]

That DD would be so fun as an EDD damn

I wish they were swapped

[wraith shard]

industrial sabotage
fun

[sudden summit]

hola

algien español

[tall relic]

Yes

Best mission type in the game

On has 5.5 it'd be fun af

[rugged pawn]

hey all

hope you are doing well

[kindred coyote]

over 3 missions its not that rare
however one thing thats rlly important is how theyre dying

is it in a swarm or just chillin

or is it to shit like leeches or acid spitters

[marsh flicker]

does anyone wanna do a mission with me not a deep dive just a normal one the reason in asking in this channle is because i cant talk in any other channls

[kindred coyote]

get roles in #welcome-and-rules

then ask in the lfg channel for ur platform

[weak shell]

anyone wanna do a deep dive with me?

driller/steam, but those also show up on my roles

[upbeat flume]

does anyone want to play

[mental rampart]

Sure, I'll take a break from my book

[mental rampart]

When would you want to do it

[ancient lily]

So uh

EDD stage 3

hiveguard stuckstuck

how the fuck is this fixed

cause shooting it aint reboot the damn thing

We all just said fuck it

God just remove hiveguard tbh

[daring sandal]

what's worse, low oxygen or no shields

[tiny dagger]

it's confused

eventually it'll release the sentinels

you can try getting your entire team very close ot it

[tiny dagger]

sheild disruption has a natural 35% damage resist for dwarves

so it's not bad

[daring sandal]

also for some reason ppl always pick scout, i'm weird that i rarely do

[tiny dagger]

lethal enemies + low o2 sucks though

[daring sandal]

one of these days, they're gonna generate a really brutal DD

if they haven't already

low oxygen industrial sabotage

[weak shell]

sorry i did it with some randos who ended up carrying me

[ancient lily]

We tried everything and waited 5 minutes

We got both the eggs in the meantime

Ain't nothin worked

[tiny dagger]

is it not following one of you?

and is molly trying to go back to spawn?

[ancient lily]

How tf it's easy as hell this week

[ancient lily]

Nope

[ancient lily]

And nope

[tiny dagger]

hmm

follow it ig

[ancient lily]

Don't matter now cause we all just threw at the end

[daring sandal]

i find the dreadnaughts buggy sometimes

[tiny dagger]

bruh

[ancient lily]

Hiveguard is the definition of buggy

shits ai gets stuck constantly

[ancient lily]

5+ minutes bruh

[daring sandal]

am i the only one here who tries not to look at the sticky post because i want to be surprised what the DD has in store for me?

[tiny dagger]

it took me 7

[ancient lily]

The game would be better with the hiveguard removed and literally anything else taking its place, preferably something that can't get stuck like that

[tiny dagger]

to get it to work

[ancient lily]

Just cause ain't nobody wants a game held hostage by an enemy

[daring sandal]

man, 5-7 mins in DRG feels like an eternity

[ancient lily]

When doing nothing in stage 3 of the EDD, yes

[daring sandal]

grab a drink/snack in the mean time LUL

[ancient lily]

Now I gotta find a new rando squad for EDD

Because I ain't doing shit solo

[thick sapphire]

fucking failed the edd at the stage 3 drop pod

was like, i used iw to get into the pod

but the others didn't get in

so we failed with me literally in the pod

next time i wait for everyone to die before i iw

to the pod

rather than using it to not leave myself behind and then the team comes out anyways

just annoyed losing edd's to stupid things like that

if we die to a swarm or a dread whatever

but dying after the pod opens

[ancient lily]

We got a dread swarm spawn. Twins

EDD stage 1

[thick sapphire]

and now i get kicked for not wanting to mine gold

if you want to mine gold go play normal missions

[ancient lily]

my Host had pots o gold so I'm not faultin tbh

Mega money

[thick sapphire]

and it's more like, i don't want to prolong the mission to mine gold even with pots

like i'll still mine it during downtime

also tbf if the host wants to play that slow id rather be kicked anyays

[edgy nacelle]

Anyone know why I can't chat in the #drg-chat, but can in others?

[unkempt trellis]

was hoping for a sub 30 solo driller this week but got hit with that abysmal point extraction and then the data rack

[thick sapphire]

overall this week's edd is pretty straightforward; lethal on stage 3 adds some challenge but there isn't anything particularly tricky about the missions

[mental crystal]

first time i actually completed a deep dive, and i completed it under 45 minutes

i am very proud of myself

[devout peak]

Proud of you man!

[mental crystal]

thanks

[rigid barn]

Just completed my first EDD and it was... underwhelming. I thought it would be more difficult, but maybe that's on me for waiting until lv110 and 200 hours played to finally do it

[glass gale]

this week's edd is on the easier side i think

[granite flicker]

theyve been pretty easy 3 weeks straight no?

[thick sapphire]

yeah all of the objectives are on the easier side this week for edd

and cave gen is reasonably easy for the most part

and nitra is plentiful

[mental crystal]

i have decided to go for an edd (i have never played hazard 4 missions)

[marble mango]

any engi mains here? what loadout you have for the EDD this week?

[leaden cypress]

Anything will work

Assuming you're not making a bad build intentionally

[marble mango]

im kinda struggling with my stunner warthog + hyperprop tbh, esp second stage entrance (EDD)

[leaden cypress]

Solo ?

[marble mango]

4 people, rando lobby

[tacit iris]

That’s a lotta single target

[leaden cypress]

Well

Even then sentries + grenades should handle swarms relatively fine

[marble mango]

yeah, it's a specialized elim build

[leaden cypress]

I guess you're using hyperprop for the dreads

[tacit iris]

Oh right double dreads this week

[marble mango]

yup. I ran through first stage under 10 mins consistently

[leaden cypress]

There are a lot of primary builds you can use for CC

Stubby EMD, LOK1 ECR, LOK1 Exec + blowthrough, CO Warthog, etc

[marble mango]

im listening

[marble mango]

CO = cycle overload?

[leaden cypress]

yes

[marble mango]

i ought to try that, ty 🙏

[marble mango]

I haven't tried stubby EMD on elim, will try practicing on that too

[leaden cypress]

Stubby EMD won't do much on elim

But it'll compensate what hyperprop is lacking

[marble mango]

right, the CC

[leaden cypress]

Though ECR LOK1 is pretty much easy mode when it comes to CC

the explosion inflicts fear most of the time

and 3 shots are enough to kill a haz5 grunts

4 shots for a haz5 slasher

[mental crystal]

i gave up on the edd
i got lost on the 1st stage

[marble mango]

that's a start 😄

we'll see what's next EDD have in store

[tall relic]

Why tf was stage 2 the hardest stage of that EDD lmao

I was expecting it to be incredibly easy

But no, we were getting hit with warden buffed swarms nonstop and a bulk det

[drowsy tide]

compact feed valves is stupid. It's literally just lighter tanks with one upside and 2 downsides

[leaden cypress]

[turbid dawn]

oh thats kinda sad, i ran my first edd after promoing scout the first time in that same week, and after 13 tries with randoms completed it

i dont know why ppl consider haz 5 difficult

[raven carbon]

If you have a team that can do crowd control or elimination then you can build for the other objectives

Otherwise for a mixed build ECR Lok1 and hyperpropellant or overdrive booster would be good

Hyperpropellant is really focused on single target

Overdrive can still help with other use cases when you need

Little more flexibility

[marble mango]

real. still figuring out how to conquer that stage without dying xD

the monke brain in me just plats over that holes in stage 2 and 3 immediately

[tall meadow]

pub egg hunt moments

[drowsy tide]

what's a good build for driller against dreadnoughts? I'm mostly referring to my primary and secondary

assuming i dont have face melter i mean

[exotic belfry]

Sludge pump VIM or SB

Alternatively if you have group, they can run high dps non heat builds, and you take cryo

[drowsy tide]

hmmm....

[drowsy tide]

what cryo cannon overclocks should i use?

[exotic belfry]

Anything that can has high uptime, if you stop actively freezing a dread it loses all cold in ~1 second.

I like 13132 with FRE

[drowsy tide]

hmmm

i'll go with sludge pump

[marble mango]

A #deep-dive-speedrunning worth i'd say 😄

[rancid cedar]

sure but the downsides aren’t bad, reload cancelling negates the reload penalty. The range decrease is annoying but 2m isn’t massive

[drowsy tide]

the time for reload cancel is still pretty late, and i'm mostly upset at the meager upside to mag size. Then again i suppose that's just me since i reload often

i mean mag not clip

although it's more of a tank

i suppose it's just my personal preference i guess, i just wish it was more interesting

[forest carbon]

It depends. For holdouts wart hog turret whip is good. Lok ecr is also really good and less bunkery. For secondary all r fun but Breach cutter is arguably his best

BC is insane at Hvt and good for elim as well

Hyper propel very good for elim but less so normal waves compared to BC

Breach is always a good secondary for extremely good self defense tool and good vs cc and Hvt

It does everything

[olive night]

why cant i write anywhere except here?

[burnt sandal]

read #welcome-and-rules and pick a role

[olive night]

oh

ty

[rancid cedar]

even with the downsides i think it’s better then lighter tanks. Also it’s not like flamer in general has interesting ocs, so i don’t see this as a cmv specific issue

[drowsy tide]

it doesnt? Well damn that's an issue itself

someone should suggest new overclocks

[rancid cedar]

hopefully we get new ocs for some of the older weapons soon. It’d be cool to have a good single target option on flamer, although it might be hard to balance

[drowsy tide]

I had this one idea for an overclock but i thought the devs would've done it by now

[exotic belfry]

Check the wiki or Karl.gg to see all the curent OC's

[lethal shell]

Facemelter but even shorter

Touch bugs with the tip of the crisper to give em the ol spicy slap

[drowsy tide]

i didnt wanna spoil some stuff

[drowsy tide]

sounds like a fire drill

[worthy iron]

Is edd difficult this week? Rate from 1 to 10 where 1 is easy for greenbeards and 10 is almost impossible even for veterans

[errant night]

They really ought to buff face melter its best use case is vs rival tech but vs everything else it tends to perform poorer than stock.
It's nerfs to sticky fuel are just that big of an impact.

[patent elk]

4.5-5/10

Though I might be over/underestimating it since cave gen will play a factor

[bitter stump]

Not going to rate it, but as long as you keep an eye on your O2 meter during the 2nd stage it's easy

[worthy iron]

There is no O2 on edd

[worthy iron]

Thank you

[bitter stump]

Oh EDD...

Read normal DD, mb

[valid prawn]

current DD is uh

small

[tall meadow]

nah, too slow

[wise iris]

almost had a 45min dd run

seems easy enough this week, just dont be too tardy

[frigid snow]

Guys. I cant send this in "report a bug" channel because i dont have permission so i post it here:https://imgur.com/a/WzEqYNB

heya hope you are doing well

also to fix your issue : C4 the generator

there's a piece of terrain in it preventing the connection

[rotund basin]

hello there, I'm new to the game and new to this discord but it seems I am not able to chat anywhere except here and in Xbox/playstation channels. Am I missing somethning ?

[willow cobalt]

yeah uh same problem, don't have permission in the chat channels

[exotic belfry]

Welcome to the company greenbeard!

Read welcome and get a role to access other channels

[exotic belfry]

Welcome greenbeard!

[willow cobalt]

hey

oh wait it was that simple

brainrot peaking today

[exotic belfry]

Nah the role permission are messed up lol, lotta people don’t realize you gotta grab a role since if you join from the in-game link it usually gives you one automatically

[untold crane]

Whichever one of y’all said the EDD was easier than the DD is insane

#2 just throws it all at you

There’s a breeder, a nexus, and about one of every large bug imaginable

And they all spawn within 100m of you

[thick sapphire]

the start of 2 is a bit tricky but you can fire on a lot of that stuff from the spawn room

[gentle basin]

is it worth it to do the current edd solo or duo?

[still geode]

if u mouse over the link u can see it goes to a different site

[shadow temple]

Holy shit...I actually did it, my 2nd EDD completed

And it was solo + deathless too

Every other EDD attempt I've done was with a team, cuz even as solo I can barely get through the 1st stage and normally die at the 2nd

Idk if it's an easier EDD or something, but gotta say the cave gen was quite....good this time

Oddly enough, Stage 2 was definitely a lot harder than Stage 3. It looked deceptively easy given that there were no mutators and the swarms could be somewhat controlled. But nope, that stage had a fetish for septic spreaders and oppressors. Even flung a bulk at the start too

[patent elk]

Congrats

Keep up the streak

[shadow temple]

Hahah thanks, idk if I can actually keep it up tho, I still avoid Haz 5 like the plague

[vestal hawk]

if i set deep dive to public with a 2 player group and press launch, will it look for 2 more players to fill the party or will we have to play it as just 2?
Also, do you need the same party for all 3 missions (since iirc the materials from one mission carry on to the next)?

[nimble fractal]

people cannot join a dd that's in progress

you have to wait in the lobby to fill up

you can only rejoin a dd if you get disconnected

and yes, you have to play with the same people and the same loadouts for the entirety of the dive

[mellow lake]

Hey y'all I'm new to DRG what do i do

[upbeat flume]

do some missions

[coarse grove]

conquer hoxxes 4

and also try and promote a character asap (get a character to lvl 25 and do the promo assignment) so you can start doing deep dives, getting overclocks etc

I wanted to ask a question in the drg chat but it says I don't have permission to speakj

[tropic mist]

did you go to #welcome-and-rules

[coral ingot]

i did

do I need to chek smth?

[tropic mist]

get a role

[coral ingot]

where?

[analog salmon]

Oh ok it works now

[coral ingot]

where do I get a role?

ok it works

[tropic mist]

cuz you either picked a role or someone gave you one

[lethal folio]

hey playing the game drg with cheats solo is allowed right?

Im just more of a tycoon type of guy so im just curious

[tropic mist]

for what context?

[lethal folio]

exploring and such

[tropic mist]

yes

[lethal folio]

cheers my man

[tropic mist]

if you have specific type of mod in tho you cant get achievements and such

but you can just turn them off and play again so

[frigid shard]

are cave leeches a problem at all in this weeks dd?

[patent elk]

Not if you run heightened senses.

[boreal storm]

Only on 1 stage if I'm not mistaken

Don't really remember on which exactly

[lone crown]

Which is better turret whip or full auto for the warthog?

[bitter stump]

Turret whip 90% of the time

[exotic belfry]

If you use it, turret whip.

Often I forget about it so I usually run full auto lol

[lone crown]

Thanks

[gleaming blaze]

I chose the full auto first and continued to shoot semi-auto due to recoil/not needing it

[cursive bough]

why are the caves in DD stage 1 so tight

[vagrant walrus]

Why am I not able to post in DRG chat and nonDRG chat?

[olive snow]

[exotic belfry]

Idk, cave gen decided to say "fuck you" lol

[hearty smelt]

anything I should know or precautions before I head into my first deep dive?

[exotic belfry]

Play fast, there is nothing in the cave but mission objectives, nitra, and gold.

[crystal willow]

occasionally some ore

depending on what objective you are doing

[hearty smelt]

🙏

[gentle basin]

Occasionally a huuli hoarder, I got one on stage 3 for the deep dive this week

[pale valley]

is it possible to solo deep dives

[burnt sandal]

yes

[pale valley]

ok

what do deep dives even do

[wraith shard]

give you a blank, weapon, and cosmetic core for each stage

imo they're also just fun bc you have to manage resources (mainly nitra) more

[oblique torrent]

why cant i talk in most channels like #lfg-steam or #drg-chat

[burnt sandal]

[daring sandal]

no one would ever do edd if this was the case lol

[green pawn]

I thought ppl did EDD just to flex there skill

[radiant pebble]

Guys I just got my gpu today

I can finally rock and stone

[jade sky]

[radiant pebble]

I just need to buy the game…

Someday…

[forest carbon]

EDD not that bad this week

No aquarq= happy

[naive fjord]

Yo titan

S

Is the game worth buying

[shadow charm]

Hey yall brand new here! Wondering what the dd/edd layout is this week?

[burnt sandal]

check the pinned message

[burnt sandal]

definitely but I'm a bit biased

[shadow charm]

Where's thaat? I can't find it -.-

[burnt sandal]

the pin icon in the top right

[shadow charm]

Ahhh okay I see, thank you

[manic pivot]

_ _
ATTENTION MINERS!
We are hearing rumors that some dwarves are still not done with this weeks Deep Dives!
We want to remind you that there's only half a week left until our scanners pick up new missions!
_ _

[naive fjord]

Is there grind in the game

Like op weapons n stuff

[vale ravine]

There is “grind” but grinding is just the normal gameplay loop

Like there’s no sitting somewhere doing the same task over and over again, you just play missions normally

[gleaming blaze]

And really after the initial 25 levels on a character there’s no significant power leap

[balmy sinew]

yup, once you've got to level 25 with a dwarf, you're good to go in terms of power.

Basically the only thing you need to do is promote at least one dwarf so you can get into the overclock system, which helps make weapons more powerful, interesting or just plain fun, by changing parts of how they work.

Or just being straight buffs.

Depends on the oc.

[young yew]

The largest part is for cosmetics

Weapon overclocks are not really OP, and there's only a couple of them compared to drip

[rancid cedar]

there are def some overpowered ocs but the game is easy enough that you really don’t even need ocs to do haz 5 easily

they help but are 100% not required to do well

[tame nova]

How do you feel about ntp on auto cannon

[naive fjord]

are there op aliens

in the game

[eager drift]

28 STAB WOUNDS!!!

[reef girder]

planning to do my first DD, should i do this weeks one or wait for next week?

[hollow flower]

Why not both?

[reef girder]

i mean, is this weeks one worth doing?

one thing i know about DD's is that sometimes a weeks stages can be really bad

[hollow flower]

The normal DDs are always worth doing

[young yew]

You grow with challenges. Just do it. Rock and stone!

[gentle bough]

They’re about as hard as haz 3, if you can clear that comfortably you have nothing to worry about

[zenith ember]

Both dd are worth doing week 1

Separate set of rewards, cores given out after passing 1 stage instead of all

[reef girder]

another DD question, specifically for australian players: how command is it to find people playing deep dives, or have people join you on one?

obviously with normal missions i have zero issues getting players, though i do find myself playing solo a ton when i play a specific mission for an assignment

whether thats by actually playing solo, or simply just not having anyone join during a missions runtime

ive been sitting in the rig waiting for people to join and i think i can make a guess on how many australian deep dive players there are

feel like the best (and only time) to do deep dives is near immediately after they change

[untold saddle]

Make sure you change it to public on the DD terminal

[reef girder]

done that, yet no one joined

[reef girder]

yeah, i think just no one here plays deep dives

[scenic imp]

i usually just check between normal missions and if lobby available i join, takes to long starting from scratch imo

[cold mist]

@reef girder I’m aus I’ll play dd with you at some point. (I mainly play weekends)

[twilit birch]

are dives crashing every 2nd or 3rd stage now? ffs

[nimble fractal]

You will probably have more luck looking for a lobby the day DDs release, that should be 10PM AEST (it's 11AM UTC) every thursday

odds are most players have completed their DDs for this week already, with little to no benefit of rerunning them, you will probably have trouble finding people

also there's no reason to be afraid of running them, regular DDs are Haz3-3.5 and failing is an opportunity to learn

EDDs should be okay if you are capable of running Haz 5 comfortably

arguably easier solo, assuming you know what you're doing and are used to playing solo, I might be biased as I solo most of the time

[gentle bough]

solo is definitely easier

They deal less, spawn less

etc

And since you don’t have to bunker down for swarms

You can speedrun

The missions

[nimble fractal]

for sure, people aren't used to doing everything alone though, especially new players

requires some getting used to if you've never played solo, that's what i pointed at in the original message

[raven carbon]

I barely ever get players in my country

My search is set to global so I join any available lobby

Point is you don't need to be restricted to Australia

[balmy sinew]

Hmm, 2 out of 3 stages on EDD solo first try, I think I'm happy with that.

Not quite so happy about the relentless spam of septic spreaders on stage 1 and 2, and how the game randomly decided to spawn in a freaking stingtail in the middle of a dreadnought fight on stage 3, getting me killed twice because it pulled me into the dread.

[forest carbon]

I would do pubs more in EDD but it’s so rough with dead weight

[jagged rapids]

There are entire channels for finding players.

Try #lfg-steam next time

And sometimes it just depends on the day/time. Like for me, Friday afternoons, there's no one really diving

[exotic belfry]

Tf is this wall of text?

[leaden cypress]

[exotic belfry]

Ah it’s a copypasta, I was wondering why tf someone would write all that lol

[soft token]

what’s the best build for turning my bulldog into a makeshift sniper rifle

(huge damage, accurate at absurd range)

i’m torn between elephant rounds and randomized damage

rn i’ve got it as 21322 home brew

[exotic belfry]

Any high damage OC with the T1 & T5 accuracy mods.

With the mods you get pretty much perfect accuracy on the first shot.

Elephant rounds works, but often is overkill damage wise, I prefer Homebrew Power and Six shooter.

[tacit iris]

I do love how it just deletes any of those winged fellows though

[steep badger]

Glyphid tastes gppd

[wraith shard]

Cheers to that. why let spit baller goo go to waste I always say

[steep badger]

Yum yum mactera in my mouth

[wraith shard]

Although when I encounter 4-5 spitballers immediately after the drop pod lands I do start to rethink my life’s decisions

[steep badger]

It's better than being on a solo mission (hazard 5), getting ambushed by an oppressor, and wasting all your ammo on the thing because the gunners fat ass cannot run

[wraith shard]

Question. How does an oppressor manage to sneak up on you?

[steep badger]

Well uh, you got the basic gist

Got distracted, and thought bosco could handle the wave, turns out its an opressor

[wraith shard]

I sort of understand. The grabbers have a distinct audio queue that I never hear when my music blasts my eardrums

[steep badger]

I play the drg ost while playing drg

Reason why

The situations for the music is strange and often doesn't match the situation

[wraith shard]

Depending on the song playing and if there’s a swarm or not. I agree there are some tunes that don’t reflect the situation very well.

[sly ravine]

Is there any good buld for Driller flamethrower that doesn't have any overstocks

Clocks*

And plasma without any overclocks

[open palm]

doing regular deep dive || 3, and we dropped the hacking pod right on top of the power station. is that a soft lock?

[lavish hill]

Maybe you can platform to it from the nearest ledge?

[open palm]

wish I could share a picture

its like, overlapping with the power station

and methinks the physical power station is blocking the signal tower

[lavish hill]

Ouch

[nimble fractal]

Drop it in gallery or bug reports i guess

[open palm]

did just now

[lavish hill]

I guess you could try spamming the beacons all over the place in the hope it might register.

[nimble fractal]

Try c4 maybe? No clue bro, I'm sorry

[open palm]

damn thats crazy
is hacking drone spawn completely random or is it set for DDs?

cuz this one spawned above the power station which is why we blasted it down

For sticky flames do x3231, For direct heat do 22331.

Pair with 12211 Subata or 2x113 Wave Cooker

Without OC's The Crispr is great at applying heat, but lacks enough ammo or damage to deal with tankier target's head on. So you pair it with a secondary that deals lots of damage to on fire targets, covering your weakspot.

---

If you feel you have extra ammo with the direct heat build, feel free to take fear over ammo in T4.

[leaden cypress]

why would you pick fear over sticky flame duration in a CRSPR build ?

Fear doesn't work on sticky flames and most of your damage comes from them

23221 would be better for OCless CRSPR

[leaden cypress]

Back to this you can also run T2B if you think 5s stickies to be enough and lack direct heating

[rancid cedar]

i think the last part is referring to the direct heat build tbf

bruh

[leaden cypress]

Was it ?

Direct heat flamer is not intuitive at all tbh

And T2B alone will do the job

[leaden cypress]

The base message doesn't mention direct heat tho

[rancid cedar]

ye the fear mod just has an unfortunately very low proc chance but ig iv never really tried it so i can’t even speak for it

[leaden cypress]

+20% fear per ammo is like nothing tbh

[rancid cedar]

ye but in the message he says “ If you feel like you have extra ammo with the direct heat build, feel free to take fear over ammo”

[leaden cypress]

Probably because they suggested a direct heat one

For sticky flames do x3231, For direct heat do 22331.

Base flamer already has enough ammos without T4C

T4B would give a much better ammo efficiency imo

[exotic belfry]

Its a No OC direct heat build lol, sticky flames are obv the choice for a sticky flame build

[leaden cypress]

fear's factor on T4A is so lame i'm not even sure it's worth it

[exotic belfry]

Never used it tbh, Seems good on paper tho

[leaden cypress]

In truth it's 20% fear per ammo

which is nothing

[wide patrol]

hi, who speak spanish for play with me :3

[leaden cypress]

You can look for the spanish server in #fan-communities

[wide patrol]

ok thanks

[leaden cypress]

np

[exotic belfry]

So with normal ROF that's ticking 6 times a second, which would be a ~80% chance per second, that seems fine? not great but not terrible.

With prets fear resist it would be 10% right? so ~50% chance per second. Worse, but still not horrible.

So only a viable pick if your not running sticky flames and have a surplus of ammo.

Testing it in sandbox and its not bad, consistently fears when focusing on a target. I will say it does feel inconsistent when you are only trying to set on fire and not melt bugs.

To be a competitive pick It either needs to be a higher chance (maybe +30% (50%) against burning bugs), or needs to not compete with efficiency mods.

[leaden cypress]

That's the problem

flamer is a crowd control weapon by definition

[exotic belfry]

Feels really good against prets tho

[leaden cypress]

So focusing on a single target is contradictory

[exotic belfry]

Its infinite blow-through, I mean focusing as in consistently shooting at, as with grunts you set and forget. So it feels good against heat tolerant targets, but not hard to hit or weak targets.

Why cant i type in #drg-chat

I can only type here

[tacit iris]

Read #welcome-and-rules and pick a role

[unkempt crescent]

hello everyone im looking to do my first deep dive and im looking for someone to play with anyone interested? im an engineer btw. i dont know anything about it exept thats a way to get overclocks

[untold saddle]

#lfg-steam

[unkempt crescent]

ok ty

[reef girder]

Late response but sniss made a decent video on deep dives a while ago

[plush breach]

Is it normal to get the speed run deep dive achievement on your first deep dive?

[rancid cedar]

if it’s a normal deep dive ye

it depends on the dive really

like double escort is pretty hard to get done in under 45 minutes

[shadow temple]

Usually, yea. Like what abject mentioned, it depends on what missions the deep dive has thrown to you, but in most cases it should be relatively easy to do it under 45m

[plush breach]

Ty

[random hawk]

how to spend an empty matrix core?

[proper flax]

hello

[crystal willow]

Complete a machine event

Like a trit deposit

And a matrix core infuser will open

[random hawk]

:3

[soft token]

lads rate my setup for the week’s elite dive
13111 Goo Bomber Special Sludge Pump
22113 Chain Hit Subata
High Explosive Grenades

i was also considering 11111 Sludge Blast for my primary

[storm ether]

I did my first elite deep dive Blindly. AND FREAKING WON

[leaden cypress]

remove HE grenades

they're bad

[bronze drum]

How do I talk in other channels?

[burnt sandal]

read #welcome-and-rules and pick a role

[soft token]

i don’t believe you

[tight willow]

throwing axes are like the only good option for driller

[soft token]

i don’t like using them

[tight willow]

i don’t either but beats everything else

[soft token]

impact axes feel clunky and you gotta learn tech to spam em

[unborn obsidian]

hosting a deep dive, someone with the same class as me (somehow only rank 9) joins and 2 scouts (both rank 11)

this is gonna be fine

[sick oxide]

Beans
helo-

[tiny dagger]

i learned them in 30 seconds

[soft token]

good for you unfortunately i’m stupid

[nimble fractal]

i mean you press your nade keybind and rightclick/ctrl after, it's not that hard

superior nade by far

[rancid cedar]

axes are pretty insane considering driller seriously lacks ways to burst down hvt targets

the only time i switch off axes if for neuro grenades when i’m using ice storm

[mystic goblet]

This is a terrible day for me

I found compressed gold

But I can’t say “we’re rich” in a solo mission

That or it’s because I’m on Xbox

[kindred coyote]

if u have bosco it doesnt work

cuz bosco will just try to pick it up

[glass horizon]

na bro

[brave oxide]

mn

wait why can i type here but not the main one

whay

[gleaming blaze]

go to welcome and pick roles maybe

[brave oxide]

[spiral badge]

The only bad thing about solo

Luckily I got my richual fix in a game yesterday

[wanton knot]

did the funny elite dive and host was blasting epic music the entire time. very fun elite lol

[tacit iris]

Was it DJ Zen or something like that?

[wanton knot]

no some guy named skip skap or smthn

snip snap*

[tacit iris]

Ah

I’ve only met one person who plays music

I wanna meet more

It feels great

[wanton knot]

it was so loud i had to lower my incoming voice volume to 5%

glad i stuck through tho

[kindred coyote]

just play without bosco :)

hes useless anyway

and u get the benefit of pinging things

[jade helm]

Just testing something real quick by typing this message

and it failed

[tiny spear]

Hello!

I have forgot everything about deep dives that I knew.

Can you tell me everything I need to know? :D

[spiral badge]

He’s my boy 😢

[turbid dawn]

check pins

[turbid dawn]

lmao - hes the goat for speedrunning

[tiny spear]

only got the current dive
not general info

[signal sinew]

you shoot bugs and mine

it ain't hard

[tiny spear]

What a revolutionary concept.

Thank you Prinny.

[signal sinew]

[tiny spear]

[thorny gull]

Don't shoot mines

They explode

[nimble fractal]

3 missions in a row, 2 primary objectives each, players, gear and resources (ammo, hp, nitra) carry over

Preset seeds and difficulty (dds 3-3.5, edds 4.5-5.5)

Not much else to it

[raven carbon]

3 missions in a row, your loadout remains the same. Gold nitra ammo carries over, any active perks refresh at each stage.

No minerals to mine

[turbid dawn]

bro wants an essay on drg

[tiny spear]

3 essays pls

Hot out of the oven, premade youtube videos are yuckie.

[random meteor]

just wish we could choose atleast what class we get overclocks for when finishing dd missions

instead of just saying a prayer before getting my 88th engineer beard cosmetic overclock

[exotic belfry]

A short guide to Deep Dives (DD)

Deep dives are the hardest content DRG has to offer, so here are some things to know when doing one.
During a DD your number one goal is to go deeper, so complete your objective fast, and play efficiently. Also if you fail any stage of a DD you have to start the whole DD over, so be aware.

Nothing but Objectives, Nitra, Gold, And Bugs spawn during a DD, so don't waste time looking for machine events or other non objective related content.

The DD is made of three stages you need to complete. Each stage resembles a standard mission, but with a special and required secondary objective. The secondary objective is a small chunk of a different mission type slapped on top. This objective ranges from collecting morkite to killing a dreadnaught. Note: the secondary objective will never be the same as the primary objective.

Between the stages you are awarded with varying types of matrix cores, infused and blank. If you complete one stage but fail the next you keep the cores earned from any previously completed stages.

You retain your ammo and health between stages, so if you end one stage with low health/ammo, you'll start the next stage with low health/ammo. You also retain all minerals, whether deposited or in your pockets. The important one is Nitra. Try to save enough nitra for at least one resupply, for the next stage. Also try to have a bit of health and ammo leftover when finishing a stage, to take care of the initial swarm (present on some mission types) on the next stage.

Used perks also are refreshed when moving from one stage to another, so feel free to use those as normal.

Finally, on a DD the hazard level for each stage, in order is the following: 3, 3.5, 3.5
And for EDD (elite deep dives) it is in order: 4.5, 5, 5.5

For more precise information and list of possible objectives see the wiki: https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/Deep_Dives

That's all you need to know to start diving, Rock and Stone!

[tiny spear]

That should be pinned

and you are amazing for writing it :D

Thanks @exotic belfry

[exotic belfry]

Thank you <3

[runic relic]

Actually pin worthy

[crude vigil]

Does nitra and gold in pockets automatically deposit or carry over to the next stage? Can't remember. Started wondering after reading You also retain any deposited minerals. In normal missions gold in pockets counts.

[nimble fractal]

carries over in your pockets, as in you start the stage with full pockets iirc
