idk about the last stage, would assume it counts as normal

[burnt sandal]

(repinned the weekly post to make it appear first, but your guide is pinned nonetheless @exotic belfry )

[tiny spear]

Nevermind that that was half-joking the madlad actually delivered.

[exotic belfry]

Did a few edits for clarity, I only have 16 characters leftover, So if I missed anything it'll have to stay omitted lol

Thanks for pointing that out, added it to the guide.

Yup, Pocketed minerals are retained, added clarification to the guide.

[wraith shard]

Somebody explain to me what's the goal of the deep dive ?

[exotic belfry]

Go deeper to get more cores

Cores are the main way to get OC's, the best and most interesting upgrades for guns

[wraith shard]

I see... and what kind of missions there are ?

[eager flame]

Pog, new pin came out

Man, it has been 6 months already

Time goes by fast huh

[rancid cedar]

they can be any mission type. But the unique thing is the secondary is always a mandatory shorter version of a primary objective. So you might have 200 morkite mining with a dread or a salvage mission with 2 eggs

[pearl vine]

Each stage of a deep dive contains two objectives that you must clear: Any primary objective existing in normal missions, and a shortened version of a primary objective. This shortened primary objective cannot be Industrial Sabotage, Refinery or Point Extraction. A shortened version of Salvage operation will be either only the mini M.U.L.Es or only the uplink (in this case named Black Box)

[gentle wing]

why can I not type in drg-chat?

[untold saddle]

#deep-dive-discussion message

[rocky ridge]

nearly having my escape failed because a Bulk Detonator spawn right in front of the drop pod

despite its just normal DD but it caught me off guard

[wraith shard]

@rancid cedar alriiiight both of you thanks for you answers appreciate it ^^

[torpid sand]

What is deep dive?

[jagged rapids]

It's literally like 5 posts up

[torpid sand]

Oh

[jagged rapids]

#deep-dive-discussion message

2 weekly sets of 3 back to back missions

[torpid sand]

What about biomes

[jagged rapids]

Any

[torpid sand]

Ok

Thx

[jagged rapids]

It'll be the same biome for the entire dive. Sounds like your new so I would wait a while before you try an elite dive . Those are harder

[torpid sand]

I haven’t even promoted

My data sync got messed up when I played offline so I’m level 2

I was level 8

[fading turtle]

thats rather unlucky

[burnt sandal]

options => save => restore save

[fading turtle]

leveling up in drg isnt super painful though

[torpid sand]

I tried it and it didn’t work

[fading turtle]

at least its only 6 levels of progress

[torpid sand]

Ye

[fading turtle]

could have been worse

[torpid sand]

I’m levelling driller in the new acc

[fading turtle]

nice

im also a driller 'main'

[torpid sand]

I had engineer lvl 7 on my last one

[burnt sandal]

it can take some time loading up

[torpid sand]

That’s not a problem

I play on a pretty fast pc

[burnt sandal]

It's not PC related
also there are more ways to check on back-up if you want

[torpid sand]

Tbh I don’t really mind

I wouldnt want to start levelling driller again

[knotty river]

Hey I'm brand new. I played a little a long time ago but I don't remember much. Is there anyone willing to join up and help me out a bit?

[burnt sandal]

hi
first thing : read #welcome-and-rules and pick a role

[empty flower]

My wifi is shit for multiplayer. Can I do DDs alone?

[leaden cypress]

yes

[empty flower]

Ok.

[kindred coyote]

oh fuck

i still havent finished the edd thank you fake mission control

[mental rampart]

Just now trying out my first EDD solo

Haz 5.5 Lethal Enemies

Lovely

[exotic belfry]

That's unfortunate lol

[forest carbon]

First time I ever EDD it was aquarq black box mactera plague

[pallid onyx]

whats the best way to find a team for edd?

[forest carbon]

lfg

[pallid onyx]

it says i dont have permission to talk in that channel

[exotic belfry]

Read #welcome-and-rules and get a role

Then go to the LFG for your platform, and either host a lobby or join one

[pallid onyx]

ty

[shadow temple]

Yep...also when a new EDD comes up, that's the best time to find a group cuz that's when most folks get on to clear it for the week

The later you are, the harder it is to find people who haven't played it yet

[jolly wing]

Is this by any chance in the azure weald one a few weeks back?

[manic pivot]

_ _
ATTENTION MINERS!
New Deep Dives will be available in one hour!
_ _

[wraith shard]

Why edd is so much easier solo then with other miners

[exotic belfry]

Difficulty scaling and coordination, in solo big dangerous enemies have much lower health, additionally it’s far easier to complete objectives quickly due to not needing any coordination skills.

[hexed agate]

but yeah, edd with multiplayer is way more fun

unless the host changes the difficulty to be even harder💀

just like what happened to me last week

[wraith shard]

Yeah but my friends lillte new miners and yesterday it was big pain to carry them 😅

[hexed agate]

oh that's usual, back in my day I died a lot through my edd play through

like grinding edd for tens of times and hope I can beat it in one shot

[wraith shard]

Solo it's pretty easy cause u have infinity nirta

Ig it's all about build crafting rly interesting game

[hexed agate]

yeah, also u have less bugs to kill

and the dread will be easier a little

like won't smash the ground that often

[wraith shard]

10 minutes till new deep dives

Time for rooock and stooone

[hexed agate]

Hell yeah

[reef girder]

5 minutes

[sly kettle]

Soon™

[hexed agate]

Having a shower first before weekly deep dive than go to bed

[manic pivot]

ATTENTION MINERS!
New Deep Dives are now available!

[hexed agate]

Good luck miners

[reef girder]

they haven't reset for me yet

[hexed agate]

Restart your game

[spring sentinel]

Good luck lads, hope I will be able to beat it in an hour.

[hexed agate]

Industrial sabotage💀

[spring sentinel]

EDD?

[hexed agate]

Ye

[modest gull]

1st stage?

[spring sentinel]

What's the secondary?

[hexed agate]

Mule

[spring sentinel]

Biome?

[hexed agate]

Salt pit

[spring sentinel]

Nice

[reef girder]

whats DD objectives?

[modest gull]

Eggs 1st stage. Low O2.

[hexed agate]

Check the google spreadsheet in the pinned message

Oh this week’s edd are kinda ok

[spring sentinel]

Sorry mate, but how does one find the pinned message?

[hexed agate]

Except the first stage is a bit tough

#deep-dive-discussion message

[outer cloud]

so parasites is a possible warning now huh

[burnt sandal]

yeah it got fixed a few patches ago

[hard pagoda]

is nobody updating the pinned comment anymore?

[burnt sandal]

give them some time, people have a life you know 😛

[hard pagoda]

b-but

[novel breach]

we got sabo+twin+hiveguard+blackbox in 1 deep dive

[broken maple]

Weekly Deep Dives information for 2023-10-05 to 2023-10-12.

[reef girder]

first DD stage is a bit rough

[hard pagoda]

oh wait I messed up the timezone

it didn't reset 75 mins ago

[compact shard]

New day new dive

[hard pagoda]

thank god robot stage one in EDD

[compact shard]

Hmmmm edd with bosses hmm

And mactera plague yikes

Is with the mini mules, gonna have a lot of nitra

[modest gull]

Oooh. Parasites. Been a while.

[compact shard]

Dread and caretaker hmmm, maybe I should run gunner

[midnight mauve]

firts EDD stage is gonna be rough

[compact shard]

It's like haz 4.5 it's not that bad but still

is sucks

[nimble fractal]

regular dd has decent map gen, 25 minute blind run

stage 2 wells require little terrain work, black box has to be done before pumping btw

stage 3 has quite long track back, push the mule further into the last room and it might be better

[eager flame]

I swear to god

It gets worse every week

The traffic just gets worse and worse everytime

I'm gonna start having to leave for work 2 hours earlier just to get here in time

Also, pins updated

[runic relic]

Stage 3 seems like the easiest in both dd and edd

[stray bane]

oh a parasites deep dive?

to be honest i have never played with parasites in my 100+ hours of playtime

[keen cedar]

im on 280 hours played and this will be the first time iv ever seen parasites

DD or normal mission

Wonder why its so rare

[eager flame]

It probably shares space with some other kind of event

Or it is just rare overall like dystrum

[wraith shard]

2 stage of dd was pain
Literally search 20 minutes for the liquid morkit and then I had to drill my way as scout 😦

I hope edd will be better

[nimble fractal]

there is a connecting tunnel, no need to drill

the cave is quite small in fact

[reef girder]

how bad is this weeks EDD? this will be my first

[simple willow]

Hi got a quick question: how much xp does one need per red/class level? Is it the same amount for ever level?

[nimble fractal]

usually if you're comfortable on haz 5 it's okay

[burnt sandal]

https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/Experience#Required_Experience_Per_Level

[simple willow]

Thank you!

[finite hawk]

Is getting 3 Bulks doing second stage DD during black box bad luck or set in stone

because we lost one DD to those, and the same thing happened during the second try

[tall relic]

Sabotage with mactera plague let's goooooo

[keen cedar]

I think stuff like bulks is semi random, in that it kinda has the same seed so if you had bulks before you will probably get them again but maybe at different times

[finite hawk]

every swarm had at least 2 bulks alive at once (15-20 over the entire mission)

[mint galleon]

so much pain

[tardy ferry]

imagine they were the gold ones

[mint galleon]

nope

13 dreads and no crassus

we are doing the last mission in the chain now - we just found 2 more detos

[tardy ferry]

sadge

[mint galleon]

i am live tweeting as naqibam revives me

[rocky ridge]

Sabotage with Mactera plague for 1st stage of EDD. . . ok now that's very rough

[primal vessel]

i don't think bug will spawn when caretaker activated

[broken vessel]

was in the same room

as pokeman and naqibam

i was the host and verified that my mods were not intefering with bulk spawn

that was the most amount of bulks ive come across in a vanilla mission

[shadow temple]

...the deep dive has a ton of bulks?

That's gonna be fun💀

[nimble fractal]

didnt have any solo but 13 sounds like a bug of some sort

[pseudo nova]

I did it solo and not a bulk in sight during second stage

5 oppressors during first stage seemed a bit sketchy tho

[reef girder]

elite deep dive has been done

my first one

200m dash to the drop pod on stage 3 as Follow Molly played

[ornate moss]

shoutout to the random russian dude who tutored and carried me through my first deep dive

fucking based dude

[tender tinsel]

This a good week to do my first EDD? I have 50 hours and usually play 3-4 haz missions

[nimble fractal]

edd blind in 35, decent seed, stage 2 and 3 can be very optimised

nasty horizontal leech right behind the spawn dirt leading to the closer egg in stage 2

[reef girder]

this was my first EDD: 90 hours, have never touched haz5

it went pretty well?

its by no means easy but if you are confident in your skill and have a good and welcoming team you will do fine

[nimble fractal]

stage 3 is a super long route but has thin walls, you can skip soo much

[reef girder]

stage 3 is massive, first time ive seen a 200m run to the drop pod

[tender tinsel]

Oh cool! I guess I’ll go on lfg tomorrow for it then!

[reef girder]

id probably also recommend fighting the dreadnoughts at spawn, the caves both are in are pretty bad

[nimble fractal]

happened two weeks(i think) ago in a regular dd, molly had 15 seconds ish left

but you couldnt really skip then, now the walls are super thin

like 10 seconds of pickaxing thin

also the middle room stage 3 is an unusual vertical cylinder-like shape, you can skip it though

[tiny spear]

Ah well :)

this season will go on for another 6 months?

[burnt sandal]

8 months

S4 will have lasted a year

[tiny spear]

Yeah :D

Kinda sad, the season is basically just Plaguefallin' 2: Electric boogaloo

[forest carbon]

IS mactera plague

Hmmmm

[patent elk]

Interesting combination

Not sure how that combo will work out tbh

And it's been a long time since I've seen parasites for DD/EDD

[shadow temple]

Just to maybe save someone's time for DD; The first cave in the 3rd stage, the path to the next cave is at 290deg. This is also where you find a singular morkite vein. I dont think the rest of the cave has anything

The second cave's got 2 leeches, one is to the left when you enter (this one's lowkey dangerous since it's nearly horizontal from you), the other is around the center of the room. There's a morkite vein that is easily missed when you enter since it's above the entry cave, so remember to look behind and above. Second cave also has a giant chasm, but there's only a singular nitra vein in there so unless you're starved off nitra (which you probably aren't at this point), don't bother going in.

[bronze socket]

@stray bane@keen cedar@eager flame This is speculation, but I think Parasites are much rarer as they function nearly identically to the rockpox larva. The dev's must have drastically reduced the chance of Parasites being in the map pool, to prevent over saturation of the larva mechanic for season 3 and 4.

[warm vigil]

why is it impossible to use any. channel without it suggesting a different one and covering up the imput window

[burnt sandal]

It was bugged

this has been fixed

[stray bane]

makes sense

oh ok interesting

[jagged rapids]

Sounds like this issue:
#playstation message

[jagged rapids]

Also you need to go into #welcome-and-rules and pick a role under the platform section to access some channels

[bronze socket]

@burnt sandal Thanks for letting me know! :D

[quaint lake]

any gamers here wanna do regular DD with no weapons but with skull crushers ale?

[rancid cedar]

i’ll do it if it’s the edd

[quaint lake]

huh, are you sure you are up to it

[maiden prism]

Any tips for the dds this week?

[nimble fractal]

regular dd would be doable imo, haz 3 is quite a joke

elite prets and dread might pose a problem though

[random steppe]

where are the dd and edds this week? havent had time tohop on

[old widget]

pins

[simple willow]

Hi, am back at DRG and want to get into DDs soon. At what point you started going for DDs? I‘ve promoted 2 dwarfs so far

[nimble fractal]

If you're comfortable running haz 3 regular DDs should be fine, EDDs are a bit more challenging but if you're used to haz 5 you should be fine

generally speaking ofc, it's different week to week

this weeks regular is very doable, edd is okay (check the pins)

even if you don't think you'll manage the entire dive try anyway, clearing a stage gives you rewards right away

[spiral badge]

And there’s no penalty for trying over and over until you get it. The layout stays the same so you can get to where you learn where everything is and minimize your exploring

[marble mango]

I think when i unlocked all mods and im comfortable playing haz 4, i started dds and edds

[soft token]

what’s a good lok-1 build to pack with an rj250 grenade launcher built entirely for ammo

[kindred coyote]

oh fuck

i forgor to complete the edd

[twilit ingot]

jesus man, i just played with the greenest scout in edd, took us over 1 hour and 30 mins to beat that crap

ive never had a more painful dive

bro was constantly going ahead and doing the most unlogical things

i have nothing against new players but dont be 30 ecosystems ahead

[oak pecan]

How is the refinery cave gen on the DD?

[half mulch]

Sorry, this is the only text Chat I've been able to talk in, but is road course supposed to be like a horror game

[spiral badge]

Baaad

I’m on it now. One morkite is like 45m basically straight up so like have a driller for sure

Yeah I’m solo engie and I can’t even do this

[jagged rapids]

Also you need to go into #welcome-and-rules and pick a role under the platform section to access some channels

[half mulch]

Ok thx

[jagged rapids]

And no, it's just a rogue-like take on the current DRG game

[red harness]

I just had the same thing happen to me haha 🙂

[maiden prism]

How arw they this week? Any tips

[forest carbon]

Not bad at all tons of nitra in IS and IS cave is small

[burnt sun]

if you wanna run solo I definitely recommend running bosco with cryo rockets

[forest carbon]

Last map is very long but nothing crazy couple leeches

[maiden prism]

Is edd the same as last week? I swear this cave looks familir

[forest carbon]

No not really

[thick sapphire]

almost wiped on stage 3 extraction from q'ronar

[zenith ember]

First time seeing parasites modifier in dd

[thick sapphire]

ended up having to iw and decided to just run after getting a vamp instead of trying to revive

[desert pike]

I am terrible at this week’s elite dive

Failed it like 5 times last night

Was playing driller and my cryo always is out of ammo
And then we all just honkin die on first stage’s caretaker

[wise lily]

I was doing the deep dive before bed last night

And my game crashed just as the caretaker activated

Then the internet went down

So I just went to bed

[elfin mural]

Nooo

[worn crest]

Hey

[burnt sun]

use bosco cryo rockets

saves you ammo I promise uwu

[desert pike]

I wasnt playing alone

[burnt sun]

my bad X)

did you get through it?

[desert pike]

Nope lol

I failed til 1am then went to bed

I’ll have another shot at it when I get home

[burnt sun]

well good luck miner I believe in you

[shadow temple]

It's okayish, there are definitely worse. One of the wells is somewhat elevated so it might be a bit troublesome if you aren't driller or engie

The other 2 can be easily done without having to drill or platform....but being able to drill will definitely make the 3rd well more easily accessible

Idk if BET-C is a confirmed spawn and shows up for everyone. I personally couldn't find mine lol

[warped bison]

Hows the EDD gen?

[desert pike]

Didnt find one on my attempt

[desert pike]

First Stage’s caretaker room is complete dumpster fire

Past first stage idk I didnt get past yet

[warped bison]

Thats a understatement

its so bad, nothing in the english language could explain it perfectly

[desert pike]

:D

I hope you have driller

[burnt sun]

Same. Didnt find one either

[forest carbon]

Nah tbh I kinda just hole up in the tunnel leading to hacking spots nearby. As long as u have a small los on the vents ur fine. And just have ur scout shoot eye if it appears on other side or have driller dig tunnel to other side

I feel it’s a common mistake for everyone to try and shoot the eye if it’s on the opposite of you. Driller and scout can do it much more safely so it’s better for engi and gunner to stay put. Gunner can shield himself but he doesn’t have quick mobility. And engi can also breach cutter to hit eye on other side

[desert pike]

I did drill around the place to make circling easier, even occasional tunnels behind the main room
Wasnt enough

Kinda everyone were honkin DEAD

And I am not equipped to rescue missions due to not being gunner

(i was playing driller, and switched off cooker to subata when I found out necrosis do not work on robots)

[near seal]

hey can someone help me with my first deep dive? almost finsihed stage 2 and am kinda struggling

[gleaming rapids]

Yes

[near seal]

IGN LeroytheDAWG37

Its public

[wheat flint]

lost the last stage of an elite deep dive because the molly went into the wall and the drop was at a great distance from me + confusing caves

[lavish hill]

Cave gen do be like that sometimes

[nimble fractal]

The walls are super thin, you can dig around and skip a ton

In certain places ofc

[wheat flint]

the passage from the place where molly went was not displayed on the map

[unkempt dew]

Don’t follow Molly

[nimble fractal]

yeah i noticed the pathfinding was off when i managed to get morkite from the last room and finish the box before molly even got to me

[unkempt dew]

Ideally you’re at the pod before she is

[nimble fractal]

i dug next to the blackbox through a wall, skipped probably two minutes of backtracking

i might get around and optimise the route, this edd seemed fun to run

[wraith shard]

What do u say about this week's dd and edd

I struggled solo little with scout and with engineer I needed little longer for the edd

Like 1.5h

[lusty ice]

do beer buffs persist between the 3 stages of dd/edd

[hushed atlas]

yeah

[nimble fractal]

yes

[hushed atlas]

i finally completed my first deep dive, and it was solo

[hushed atlas]

what are the rewards for elite deep dive?

[eager flame]

Honor and fullfilment

jk

Matrix cores basically

For each stage completed

One blank, one weapon and one cosmetic

[marble mango]

matrix cores, and credits

and experience

[hushed atlas]

so its the same as normal deep dives

but harder?

[eager flame]

The rewards are separate

But yeah, they are the same, aside from the credits iirc

You get 3 cores from DD and 3 from EDD, for a total of 6 a week

[hushed atlas]

are elite deep dives even worth trying solo?

its the same as normal deep dives

just haz 4

[nimble fractal]

well if you're good enough, yeah, why not?

it's easier solo if you're used to playing solo

[nimble fractal]

haz 4.5-5-5.5 btw

[zenith ember]

If you want more cores yes

And dont mind attempting the higher difficulty

[whole burrow]

I need 3 for a deep dive

[sinful pewter]

i just completed a solo deep dive, got bullet hell. Not bad

[forest carbon]

Very much so

Bosco can do a ton of objectives on his own

Also bugs have lower dmg in solo

[shadow temple]

Honestly yea, arguably some EDDs might even be easier solo than some teams

[bitter stump]

If you build it right it's very amusing

[sinful pewter]

I might just try it.

[sinful pewter]

Oh I remember, I had to deal with an Elite Bulk amidst a swarm while having to deal with the dreadnaught and wanted to kill the dreadnaught using bulks explosion.
Unfortunately, the yellow armor weakspot wasnt broken, so it survived. My time was like 56 minutes

That was the normal deep dive

My ever 2nd deep dive and this time it was solo

[vale saffron]

are EDDs easier solo or in a team
i suppose it depends on competence level of your group, but how is your experience
on a similar note, are DDs faster solo or in a team?

[nimble fractal]

with a good and coordinated team it'll always be faster and easier

personally i run solo as i like to be in control of what's happening

but i'm really used to soloing so my opinion is quite skewed

[round mountain]

Sabotage on deep dive?

Say goodbye to speedrun

[nimble fractal]

yeah IS sucks

i hate shredders with passion

[soft token]

skill issue

me sticking a grenade to a shredder and taking out the whole cloud

[ruby nova]

guys when comming the rogue core and what is that ?

is that a new game or a dlc ?

[leaden cypress]

new game

And you should read #welcome-and-rules to get a role

[shadow temple]

I think it also depends what the missions are for an EDD, whether all objectives are able to be done relatively smoothly with a specific class. I'd imagine it would just plain suck to solo an EDD with Sabotage, On-Site Refinery, Escort Duty and a mini elimination objective in magma core for instance

....that hasn't happened yet and never will happen, right?

[ocean oasis]

anyone know the elite deep dive missions?
me and a friend want to prep pls

[willow nimbus]

Its pinned

[ocean oasis]

thx

[willow nimbus]

No problem

[low plover]

I had EDD today in full team, but I noticed we were strict on nitra all the time. I wonder if that's case of the seed or we were kinda inefficient in builds

[wraith shard]

I did it only solo but for the 2 big boomer on stage 2 I had little nitra struggle too

[low plover]

on stage 2 we were extracting on 25% ammo
stage 3 was totally pickaxing our way through to drop pod

and we made sure to look everywhere for nitra, tho the caves in this EDD were pretty tricky

[nimble fractal]

stage 1 had close to 4 supplies iirc, didn't bother looking after since two were enough for me

solo enocomy is a bit different though

[forest carbon]

Yeah u gotta build around it with certain classes. Like as engi on IS u lack mobility to get eye on other side of caretaker so breach cutter is good solution

Goes though the caretaker and can hit eye even if u can’t see it

And refinery bosco can build pipelines after constructed but still it will never be as fast as 4 people doing it

[nimble fractal]

you'll never be as efficient as a coordinated team, no matter the objective

that requires a skilled most likely premade team though

that's why i solo

[forest carbon]

Same

Bosco is clutch

[nimble fractal]

bosco is the mvp

[forest carbon]

And it’s more manageable than risking randos

For normal DD I always pubs bc it’s lower stress for me

[nimble fractal]

until you die on top of the caretaker

[forest carbon]

Not as big a deal when my engi doesn’t know what low o2 is

😂

[forest carbon]

What even happens

[nimble fractal]

soft lock

unless iron will

i think

[forest carbon]

Also I don’t like standing on it

Too risky

[nimble fractal]

but fast

[forest carbon]

I just m1k from distance

Or c4 ceiling

But yeah solo u need to be more mindful of missions you have

Like if black box or salvage probably don’t scout. It’s doable but more painful

[nimble fractal]

you can clear the vents in 3 seconds but risk a softlock, worth

[finite vigil]

volatile guts on last stage, noice

[shadow temple]

If the caretaker didn't have the forcefield attack, pretty sure standing on it would be far less risky

That attack eats your health...pretty....damn fast

[silent comet]

Wait how? Can Bosco not get up there?

[nimble fractal]

Your knocked body keeps spinning with the caretaker making bosco unable to catch up

Happened to me twice so i'd assume it's recreatable

[nimble fractal]

I don't think that attack affects you actually, it's the fact that ALL the tentacles are in range and attack constantly since you spin around

[daring sandal]

what's up with the massive lag spikes on a lot of lobbies? and not just me but for others despite the distance being "close"

[soft token]

any advice on this lads?

i’m tryna get a good lok-1 pairing with 21312 RJ250

[exotic belfry]

The game is P2P so Lag, or other network issues are most likely an issue with your or the host's device/internet.

If you do think something about the game itself is causing it I would check #bug-discussion and ask about it there.

[soft token]

as someone who plays on a shitty 300$ laptop, you learn to live with lag

[exotic belfry]

My fav Lok builds are both Executioner builds, Either x1111 for single target DPS, or 21312 for general swarm shooting.

For a Low damage high ammo Rj250 Build I recommend the first build.

Try ammo in T1, and if you find you often have extra, swap to damage.

[rancid cedar]

definitely take fire with rj, it halves ur self dmg and lets it actually kill grunts

[soft token]

zamn

speaking of fire on pgl i didn’t think it was that strong

thought it was just good for “scout threw a cryo nade, free temp shock”

[rough radish]

fire on pgl is great

even on hyperprop, cuz the fire mod doesnt lower hyperprop damage

[exotic belfry]

Fire is just strong in general, especially when you can apply it in an area, since it spreads from one bug to another, extending its duration and allowing it to deal a lot of damage.

With RJ250 you lose a lot of damage, which means you need a ton of ammo to kill most bugs, reducing its effectiveness, unless you take fire, since you only need ~60 damage on pgl for the fire mod to ignite a grunt. If you ignite a group of grunts you will often kill all of them due to the fire DOT.

Here's the loadout I would run with a fire Rj250 build https://karl.gg/preview/32998#/

[unkempt trellis]

bro what are the pumpjack spawns on the dd

[lavish hill]

A certified classic from Karl

[wicked stag]

hi

can somebody help me with something?

[bitter stump]

T5a does better then t5b?
Thought that 20% DMG from full locks was better

Or is it for t3

[exotic belfry]

T3A (Electro Chemical Round) and T5B (Unstable Lock Mechanism) Both have the same +20% damage bonus, just with different conditions.

T5A is the mod that applies electricity to target with more then 3 locks.

When swarm clearing T3B (Super Blowthrough Rounds) is the best Mod in T3, so if you want that +20% damage you go with T5B.
You take T5B over T5A since when shooting hordes at distance its really hard to consistently get 3 locks per target.

T5C is also good for swarms, I just prefer damage

[spiral badge]

Man I can’t do this DD solo, stage 2 is badly laid out

Also the game decided I needed a bulk during the black box

[exotic belfry]

Same lol, gotta love Bulks spawning mid Blackbox

[bitter stump]

So
If I want to do the DD
Bring electric bolts and be ready for a bulk

[onyx dirge]

Got a bulk near the end of the black box so it ended before it was in range luckily. We got a bulk in front of us in my tunnel at the extraction of stage 3 though

[sinful pewter]

I mean its weirdly layout but you can proly do it solo.
Its just that its going to take a long ass time and you need a shitton of nitra for resupplies (at least in my case)

I did it as Scout and my build was M1K ASS and Double Barrel Boomstick

I remember at stage 3 being 2 cave leeches tho Im not 100% sure if they're at the same place even if the DD are seeded

[nimble fractal]

Stationaries are seeded but it differs in multiplayer

[nimble fractal]

The layout is fine, no? Two close and one in the far cave, pretty normal imo

[sinful pewter]

Yea

[wanton knot]

dd was fun, did it as 4 gunners and it was pretty smooth

pipes weren't as bad as i expected

plenty of nitra on stage 2, we got none on stage 1 but that one was a cakewalk anyway

worst part was prolly the blackbox bulk but if you got any kind of slow or shields you'll be fine

[tranquil star]

Anyone know the order of the objectives for DD this week?

[primal vessel]

just check the pin messages here

[amber isle]

either i suck or this week's edd is actually kinda hard with 3 randoms

[primal vessel]

honestly i died more on DD than EDD this week lol

[amber isle]

doesnt help that sometimes half of the caretaker can be covered in salt

for me

[amber isle]

did it anyways but i tried 3 times lmao

[weak crypt]

someone know how i can join voice channel

[burnt sandal]

read #welcome-and-rules and pick a role

[weak crypt]

ok

[wraith shard]

Do it solo it's pretty easy

[amber isle]

nah game more fun when you can teamkill

[wraith shard]

[amber isle]

[crimson iris]

I'm prepping for the EDD

should I take damage radius for caretaker

on satchel

or go for 4 charges because satchels round down from resupplies

[leaden cypress]

Doesn't really matter tbh

both will work

[obsidian river]

EDD really easy this week dw

[opal helm]

crashed mid edd, can i rejoin (first mission complete, drop pod not called)

[jagged rapids]

You're supposed to be able to but the results aren't always consistent

It's the only way to "late join" a dive tho

Comments here should help:
https://reddit.com/r/DeepRockGalactic/s/CTn65RTIPs

[lunar terrace]

did this week's EDD feel easier than usual

other than some desync/disconnection issues

[jagged rapids]

Felt pretty easy ya

Just finished with 2 players 50 or below, a 600 and myself at 500.

Had no problems and would honestly recommend for greenbeards. Only challenge I can see is stage 1 but random lobby luck may vary

[forest carbon]

EDD is always fine until you aquarq and mactera plague

Aquraq in general is the sources of all issues. Aquarq+ black box aquarq+ elim Aquraq* mactera plague. It’s bc the constant swarms

[jagged rapids]

I actually get giddy about those missions but that's the cryo driller in me thinking about the war crime potential

Frost... Frost EVERYWHERE
SNOW AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE

Been addicted to cryo lately. Actually ran it today for EDD

[forest carbon]

It’s very fun

[jagged rapids]

Indeed.
Beyond the robot stuff, cryo is very versatile too. Tho it did suck on s1 more than I expected but I think my freeze power could've been better optimized for robots. I just didn't see the point for the other stages

That would probably be the one thing I'd say to not bring for a newer driller player on this week's EDD bc it will not go well on first stage unless you really know what you're doing.

[chilly gorge]

What hazard level is deep dive vs elite deep dive

[forest carbon]

DD is 3-4 I believe and EDD is 4.5 5 and 5.5

[rancid cedar]

DD is haz 3, 3.5 and 3.5

[spiral badge]

^

This DD is a bit rough though, failed again today on stage 2 on the stupid black box

Seems to be a guaranteed bulk spawn during it

[civic yoke]

can always fail it if shit hits the fan

[burnt sandal]

@tidal goblet read #welcome-and-rules and pick a role

[tidal goblet]

Thanks

[chilly gorge]

What are hazard .5s

Like hazard 3.5

[median thicket]

Just means slightly harder than normal haz 3, but not as hard as haz 4

[chilly gorge]

Ok thanks

[median thicket]

👍

[frosty sedge]

i had twin dreadnoughts spawn during stage three of the elite deep dive 😭

we killed them and beat the deep dive but still that was ridiculous

Acid spitters in EDD, 3rd stage, are horrid

I was kkilled by them 3 times in the first room

Borderline trolling lmao

Good morning everyone

[hushed sinew]

is the cigar an accessory you can get?

that sucks

[lavish hill]

EDD that bad huh?

[silent prism]

Is anyone experiencing problems with this weeks Deep Dive at Dense Biozone with connection problems and crashing? First time i played the DD, it crashed on the first stage after we got all the stuff, then the next time I was playing it, It crashed during the second stage while we were doing black box

[sullen nest]

solo driller was not the right pick for the EDD
It worked, but I think any other class would have been much easier lmao

[lavish hill]

If I didn't get cornered in a dead end by a bulk dett, I might've made it to stage 3 EDD as engie solo. Also that horizontal leech grab was cursed.

[tired cairn]

why don't i have perm to message in drg chat and rogue core?

Just did my first deep dive solo 🤗
It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be

[jade junco]

so it is possible, I do 99% of my missions solo and have never done a deep dive because of how tough they looked from the exterior

[spare halo]

mushroom

[nimble fractal]

it's quite simple actually, there's nothing in the caves to distract you from the objectives

if you're used to playing solo you'll breeze through solo dds

assuming you can handle the difficulty

dds are hazzard level 3 right? I usually stick at 2 tbh, I also haven't unlocked lethal yet, lol

[burnt sandal]

from 3 to 3.5, yeah

[jade junco]

I'll have to mess with some hazard 3 missions first

[charred crest]

HI

[spiral badge]

Congrats. Did you have problems reaching the pump Jack locations on stage 2?

[covert rampart]

Thanks! I was on driller but even then it was a bit of a doozy. Ran out of fuel a couple times

[spiral badge]

The one that’s super high up is giving me issues, I haven’t beaten it

Also I get a bulk spawn on the black box every time

[restive loom]

why does it take so long to find a haz 5 mission?

[forest carbon]

Just host your own and ppl usually join

The amount of players hosting haz 5 lobbies is actually rather small compared to total population

[wraith shard]

Do you know if in the future you plan to add more matching biomes?
I love the game but the biomes already feel very repetitive from so many times I did missions in them

[misty venture]

Just did my first elit dive yesterday, got my stones rocked

[burnt sandal]

read #welcome-and-rules and pick a role

[wraith shard]

I was doing Elite Deep Dive and someone started an event way too early

Then the guy left after two others died

[spiral badge]

Had that happen this week where someone started the black box in normal DD without a heads up, and the whole thing went pretty downhill

[wraith shard]

That also happened

But like

1 match before

[tacit iris]

I had something like that happen in an edd a while back

Greenbeard driller set off the dread during a swarm and I'm 99% he double dipped as well, we barely got through, he and the legendary engi left

The scout and I decided to keep going and completed it

[rocky zinc]

How do I get access to other channels

[tacit iris]

Read #welcome-and-rules and pick a role

[oak pecan]

How tough is this EDD?

[restive cypress]

we're rich

[ornate moss]

how hard are elite deep dives in general? i want more matrix cores but dont wanna wait

[kindred coyote]

the first mission is haz4.5, then haz5, then haz5.5

so u have to be able to consistently beat haz5 to beat an edd

[ornate moss]

OH

SHIT

i dont even have haz 5 unlocked

[gleaming blaze]

this edd felt pretty reasonable

[gusty viper]

I honestly prefer low O2 over haunted cave

[thorny gull]

how to haunted cave:

1. scout
2. pheromone bolts
3. shoot pheromones at the ghost

[nimble fractal]

just try it, even if you cannot do the full dive you'll get rewards for the stages you complete

stage 1 has a lot of nitra this week, you can spam supplies for the caretaker

that's a free core

well.. "free"

[nimble fractal]

that's why i solo tbh, having full control of what's happening

[vocal escarp]

Hey, did anyone else's Dreadnought on stage three just...not move?

[zenith ember]

nope, sounds like a bug

mine was zooming

[vocal escarp]

It was probably popped open by one of those needle-shooting plants.

[wheat tundra]

second stage seems fucked

even for a EDD aka haz5 on steroids it feels like there is too many bugs, random spawns of half a swarm and always several special bugs like oppressors

[woven hatch]

is second stage bugged?

i only have 2 pumpjacks

i can't find the third one

[wheat tundra]

the normal deep dive?

for us it was tucked away in a corner half way into a wall

and mostly inside like a tiny cravace

only found it cause i recognized the sound of it so i started swinging

[woven hatch]

found it

this is the most wicked thing i've seen

[patent elk]

I'll admit it's pretty dog with big targets. If I'm not soloing I usually leave big targets to my allies to do most of the dmg and I just use my secondary.

If I'm out of secondary then dump 2 mags and call in a resupply lol

[wraith shard]

The revolver can supplement nicely against oppressors and dreads but I love the coil gun with the fear mod makes life easier

[jovial sparrow]

I got jumped by a cave leech on stage 3 of this normal deep dive lol

I was trying to get to the drop pod, but got grabbed by a cave leech
But I got stuck on terrain so it let go, for me to get grabbed by a macter grabber a few minutes later

[vestal fossil]

alright, thanks Mr. Doot

Check pinned for a short guide to DD, and the current objectives.

Aside from that not much general stuff, though specific question's will surly be answered fairly quickly.

[near horizon]

I lost all progression I have no saves what should I do?

[exotic belfry]

Get a role in #welcome-and-rules to chat in all channles, then try asking in #bug-discussion or #drg-chat

IIRC there a restore save option, but I'm not sure how to do it.

[dense escarp]

Was this weeks edd really easy or did I queue with a really good team of randos

[jade warren]

Should a deep dive be easy or is it cos ive only done 1

[wanton knot]

the regular deep dive is hazard 3 on stage 1, then 3.5 on stages 2 and 3. so it's relatively easy

the elite is 4.5, 5, and 5.5 per stage so is much more difficult

the nitra carry over between stages makes the last stages less difficult than you may expect

[fringe thistle]

the latter is especially true if stage 1 or 2 was one that usually has a LOT of nitra, such as refinery and industrial sabo

[fringe thistle]

good news is i found a random lobby

[bright topaz]

doing edd rn

[tiny portal]

This felt like the EDD with the least amount of bugs ever

So calm

I guess partly because of industrial sabo but still

[wanton knot]

what few bugs did get thrown at us were pretty annoying tho

[zenith ember]

Cryo was a horrible experience for the edd

I kept thinking to myself how much vim sludge would have been significantly more useful when i did mine

i'll take 43% of a compressed gold

[untold saddle]

I'll have 43% of your 43% of compressed gold

Yea I feel like VIM sludge is the meta for dreads and also really decent for other missions

Cryo would be meta for mactera plague and also very good in general, just not for sabo

[fathom coral]

Much appreciated, Yuna.

[lost prism]

Thanks Yuna, now I know what beers to drink

And also what builds I should pick

[hardy grove]

Went in EDD solo as scout with Red Rock beer and Heightened Senses. I cleared all three stages, but I didn't find it easy. Took a little over an hour. Stage 2 was the toughest for me and closest I came to failing. Plenty of nitra, though.

[jovial garden]

Took longer in DD than EDD

probably because it requires to wait a lot.

[fathom coral]

Mood, man, I hate Rad zones & shield disruption with a passion.

[eager flame]

Every time i do this thing i feel like there is less space to write

[sterile tartan]

Have yet to do an EDD but almost feel like I'd rather do it this week than the DD... Haunted modifier spooks me so much.

[civic yoke]

I would rather have haunted than low oc, no that I have. a choice I do both dives lol

[fathom coral]

Had the Ghost be right on us at spawn, they aren't normally scary, but God I hated that start, lmao

[civic yoke]

You can always have a player kite the horror

[fathom coral]

We did yeah, made the Engi do that since they didn't have a good build for em.

[shadow temple]

Aight doing EDD solo atm cuz I couldn't find people

1st stage is actually not as bad as it sounds

[fathom coral]

Literally just got on if you wanna run it.

[shadow temple]

Because halfway through it gives you jet boots

And I didnt have to call a single supply pod for this stage

So I'm going into stage 2 with 50% ammo and 2.5 supply pods worth of nitra

[fathom coral]

DD this week took semi-longer than usual personally. Haven't touched EDD yet, but reading what's up with it.

[shadow temple]

Ye, I dont think theres anything bad so far, but I am dreading aquarqs

I can very easily just...lose here, cuz I suck at aquarqs

Going in now

[fathom coral]

Alright.

[civic yoke]

I usually go with randoms, maybe I'm lucky but I get some competent people there, If I host edd I just kick green beards.

I used to let the green beards play but I prefer not having to revive someone 40 times lol

[fathom coral]

I give them a chance, I try at the very least to let randoms know if we got Dreads and I run Cryo, try not to counter it, etc.

EDDs can be hard at times, but I don't find them too difficult.

[leaden cypress]

How nice it is to have teammates who do not do a single objective and keep dying

[civic yoke]

even when I tried to teach them so they learn from their mistakes they do some dumb shit, don't get me wrong I did some dumb shit when I started playing but I prefer to not deal with it.

[leaden cypress]

How nice it is to dig all of the aquarqs and eggs and deposit them while my teammates keep dying for no reason

[fathom coral]

Pubs gamingTM

[shadow temple]

Ok soooo straight off the bat, don't like where this refinery spawn is. Luckily bosco can just do the usual Bosco things he does for Aquarqs

But without Bosco, it's a lot of carrying up the hill

[leaden cypress]

At this point this ain't carrying

It's literally covering up all of their living expenses

Cheers I never saw that before

The dd looks harder than the edd

[fathom coral]

It's definitely annoying lvl 3.

[civic yoke]

Yeah it can be harder if You're not used to the warnings

especially shield disruption

[shadow temple]

Lol I had a stingtail save me

Had a double swarm in Stage 2, almost getting cornered, and then this dood just pulls me into a safe zone

In Stingtail we trust

[civic yoke]

until they yeet you to hoxxes atmosphere

think they fixed that tho

[sterile tartan]

EDD disconnect on Stage 3. Story of my life

[shadow temple]

Stage 2 done...uhhh

Actually really smooth?

[fathom coral]

EDD lvl 1 easy if we jut resupply near egg and get ready to dip.

[shadow temple]

All of the aquarqs are quite easily visible...idk about actually transporting it tho since Bosco just does everything

Now onto Stage 3....whew

Tho I dont really care, it's the weapon OC I wanted

Fail or not, I got what I came for

[hollow umbra]

Does anyone know what the elite deep dive stages are this week?

[shadow temple]

Pins, mostly Morkite and Eggs

[hollow umbra]

Thank you

[fathom coral]

Well, this is awkward, waiting for the dive to go down since my whole squad got wiped, lol...

They got punished hard lvl 2 EDD.

[leaden cypress]

How funny it is for me to clear EDD below 30 min because my teammates are actually efficient

Not like the baboons from before

[shadow temple]

Aight, Lvl 3 EDD is aight, actually the cave leech cluster hazard for this time is quite tame

2-2-3

(no. of leeches per cave)

[leaden cypress]

There's more than that

[shadow temple]

I dont know about the last cave, which is where the dreadnought is. You can snipe the egg then just run to the room before

Oh what, well, I didnt get to see the others :s

[leaden cypress]

last room has 2

[shadow temple]

rn Im just waiting for this hunk of junk to dig up to me

should be fine tho

aaand EDD done

Yea that was...okayish, but I can see plenty of ways it can go wrong considering the Stingtails were in all 3 stages

💀

But ye! 4th EDD done (2nd solo). Can't say I did it deathless, had a stingtail grab me into the rockpox swarm once 😭

[coarse vessel]

6 eggs, twins, and a haunted cave?

[fathom coral]

Yea..?

Finished the EDD, I enjoyed it, made me appreciate Driller even more.

[eager flame]

Why the ping tho

:<

[shadow temple]

Btw, EDD 2nd stage has no warnings or anomalies

Completely blank

[eager flame]

True, didn't see that one, thank you

[shadow temple]

All good, thank you for your service! <3

[celest elm]

how bad is the regular dd because the modifiers and objectives alone makes it seem insufferable

[bitter stump]

Wasn't hard for me and my lvl 24 friend to do.

[terse lichen]

I have a question for whoever knows does the lithophage mutator can appear in deep dives?

[celest elm]

nope

i got a rockpox swarm last week though

but the outbreak modifier itself shouldn’t spawn

and neither should corruptors

afaik

[terse lichen]

I see

Thx

[coarse vessel]

Idk

My bad

[eager flame]

Bruh

[reef girder]

damn, i had no idea deep dives had reset

as well as everything else thats weekly

[spiral badge]

How’s EDD? Doesn’t look bad

[zenith ember]

It isnt yeah

Nothing crazy or whack

[lost tartan]

is this weeks dd managable solo

i see the shield disruption with dreadnought

[tacit iris]

Well yeah

It’s just the dd

Haz 3.5 max

[marble mango]

During my edd, i have driller that epc mine dirt. Now i have seen everything

[zenith ember]

Its not c4 dirt bad

[marble mango]

Not at all :))) only motivates me more to learn epc

[kindred snow]

How's the EDD I didn't get to do it tonight

[kindred coyote]

seems easy to build around but the twins on stage 3 r prob gonna be annoying

i havent played it yet so terrain could be shitty idk

wait not twins im dumb and stupid

its regular dread

[kindred snow]

I'm betting low oxygen is gonna rock my shit

[kindred coyote]

luckily its eggs and morkite

and u should be able to just chill around molly cuz of low grav

maybe bring like fear n stun or some sort of slow if ur worried abt uhhh low o2

[kindred snow]

Debating on whether to run gunner or driller for it honestly

[shadow temple]

Don't forget that EDD stage 1 has jet boots

Combining that with low gravity makes it quite breezy imo

[kindred coyote]

actually running driller for this edd sounds fun just cuz of stage 2

its basically a 12 aquarq mission

[kindred snow]

12?

[leaden cypress]

10 aquarqs + 2 eggs

[kindred snow]

O

[kindred coyote]

drg ends up using them all as food anyway theyre basically the same

[grave crypt]

Is this deep rock galactic survivors just renamed or a diffrent game altogether

[rough radish]

different game

[untold saddle]

Get a role in welcome and read the pinned messages in #rogue-core-chat

[shadow temple]

Yea, not that bad honestly. I think the first stage was kinda the hardest since combining horror with eggs means it is always going to be in the middle of all the eggs

Not really hardest per say, just annoying tbh

[lost tartan]

i already did this week dd

[shadow temple]

Ye, wasn't that bad aye?

[lost tartan]

even the spawn room feels claustrophobic with the ghost and twins

at least the pipes in the next stage is merciful for a scout

[shadow temple]

Yea this DD's refinery was very lenient

[lost tartan]

once a long time ago i stacked pipes on pipes in a sprial to get to the pump

[shadow temple]

Lmao, the pain of no driller or engie 😔

[lost tartan]

#drg-gallery message

[shadow temple]

We have Tesla coil at home
Tesla coil at home:

[severe peak]

must be fun to fix the pipes afterwards

[fathom coral]

I ran Driller this EDD, didn't regret it at all.

[slate stump]

what dreadnought should i expect on last stage of edd?

[eager atlas]

It's just a regular one

[slate stump]

enemy spawn pool was absolute ass on edd

stingtail infestation and endless spreaders

[shadow temple]

Ye every stage is stingtail and spreader lmao

Fun

[sinful pewter]

failed on stage 3 bc blackbox and gunner was the one going for the remaning morkite

i got heat pipe from the previous EDD, still havent tried it

[sullen oasis]

hello

[sinful pewter]

sup

[unkempt mango]

Heyhey

[twilit aspen]

I go deep now

[warm oasis]

wuz the black box in deep dive stage 2

[gleaming blaze]

yea

[jagged rapids]

#deep-dive-discussion message

[jagged rapids]

Ohhhh JOY!
I can't wait for a spanking

[slate stump]

got swarm with 3 stingtails in my tunnel as i was drilling my way to dreadnought

[jagged rapids]

I wish they'd limit stingtail count in swarms. Would honestly make them less broken

[slate stump]

stingtails alone are not that dangerous, but i always get hooked into spreader's projectile

like why

[jagged rapids]

Lol sounds like you got juggled around for a bit

[slate stump]

yeah sadly my edd went over 45 minutes

mainly because of stingtails and skill issue

[jagged rapids]

Yea no it's mostly just when there's 2+ bc you just keep getting grabbed

[slate stump]

cave leech cluster didn't help

[jagged rapids]

Hey ya managed to get home alive that's a win in my books

[slate stump]

i also made life harder for myself

popped two eggs the moment swarm spawned

so i had double swarm to deal with

[jagged rapids]

Your time in the dive speed run channel didn't seem to bad tbh

[jagged rapids]

The AUDACITY! I love it 😈

Last week's EDD, my team popped all the eggs back to back and I was like ohhhhhhh spicy time inbound

[slate stump]

i could probably improve it by a lot, but i don't feel like replaying this one lol

i love 6 or 8 eggs popped at once in normal missions

[jagged rapids]

I'm curious to see if I'll enjoy it. I do like a challenge but we'll see

[slate stump]

second stage has bad mine head spawn

so you'll have to rely on bosco a lot

just make sure to drink dark morkite

[turbid dawn]

didnt anders say this was already the case?

[jagged rapids]

Haven't heard about it myself but it don't feel like it

[burnt sandal]

that's the case

1 per swarm

but haz 5 can somewhat screw things up in regard to limitation so there's some RNG involved

[jagged rapids]

Lol then it's broken bc I frequently get more than one per swarm

And the person I was chatted with above made the same point

[turbid dawn]

no, they said 1 per pool of enemies that spawn

[jagged rapids]

Huh.... Where did they talk about this?

Dev stream?

[turbid dawn]

#drg-chat message

[jagged rapids]

Ah, thank you

[burnt sandal]

thx for the clarification, didn't remember the exact thing

[jagged rapids]

Ok I guess that makes sense

Welp, tis what it is then. Guess I'll have to git gud

[turbid dawn]

it sucks if you're not running stun or armor breaking

or dash

[jagged rapids]

Yea, I recently updated a lot of my builds for this reason

[turbid dawn]

just yesterday i got pulled by a stingtail while a minehead was landing - very interesting way to die

fear is great too

[jagged rapids]

Stingtails are getting too smart. They're using our tech against us 🤣🤣

[burnt sandal]

I got pulled into a glyphid exploder about to blow

[slate stump]

damn, so i'm not the only victim of this terrorism

[burnt sandal]

good times

didn't die but close

[slate stump]

exploder combo also happens, i swear they plan this out

or stingtail into spitballer projectile lol

[burnt sandal]

more often than not I get pulled into my own grenade

that's the best

[jagged rapids]

Sometimes they give free jumps tho if you're not scout... Safe landing not included tho, bring your own

[jagged rapids]

Ooof

My favorite is just the usual yeet into the sky and then realizing I'm not engi or scout 🥲

Getting pretty decent with driller saves tho

[turbid dawn]

well a stingtail has also saved me from rockpox

it balances out i guess
