Make sure you drink dark morkite

Sure it's only for 1 stage, but as far as I'm aware, there's only about 152 morkite in the entire stage

You lose a morsel, good luck

With mods, yea

Vanilla no

unless 2 players join at the same split second when at 3 players (yea that's a thing)

[lusty ice]

oh yea ive had that before haha

thanks!

[shadow temple]

To whoever asked if it can be done solo cryo driller for EDD: Somewhat, but you'll likely struggle with the elite enemies in Stage 2

Very ammo hungry

And it's a long stage as well

[shadow temple]

Heya, on my end, Deep Dive Stage 3 is 6 eggs instead of 4. Hiveguard is still correct tho

[drifting tinsel]

ah, you're correct! my apologies, i'll get that updated -- thank you! (o≧▽≦)ﾉ

[solid haven]

Remember kids, if you're doing on high difficulty mission like EDD always bring IRON WILL to help team if not just uninstall the game and stop being a burden.

[stiff pumice]

Just did regular DD. Finished the first one, but after loading into the second one it just put us all in sick bay. Any ideas?

[short merlin]

[wraith shard]

dude 2nd stage sucks ass lmao

gen spent 10 minutes looking for the last pumpjack

[patent elk]

Galaxy brain advice 🧠

Don't forget to only do haz 3-4 missions for better rewards

[grand pasture]

No ind sab, means no having to come here and see people complain about it being there :)

[blissful tundra]

we breezed through both deep dives fairly easy this week

will definitely play some more to help others

last weeks normal deep dive was the easiest, especially with critical weakness lmao

[cerulean field]

Do you have to do the entire dive in one sitting?

[fading sierra]

Yeah.
There's a "pause" screen between stage 1 and 2, and between stage 2 and stage 3 where you can take a breather, but you can't close the game and come back to the dive or anything like that.

[cerulean field]

I just did my first deep dive (and won). Is the elite one significantly harder?

[civic yoke]

it will be a painful experience if you are not used to haz 5, stage 3 goes beyond haz 5

it's a big jump, normal deep dives top hazard is 3.5

[shadow temple]

Just don't die lol.

half-joking ofc...but that being said, if you need to rely on Iron Will to beat EDD, then something else certainly needs improving

[hearty geyser]

got the twins spawn at EDD stage 2, nitra expenses went trough the roof

[cinder citrus]

Or just refine your skill without crutches

[grand pasture]

Just died to a lacerator cause for some reason it was able to turn during its attacks

[warped quiver]

Pretty much all dreads have bugged attacks I feel like

As in the way they’re looking doesn’t coordinate to where the projectile comes from

[rose yacht]

lol twins are the easiest to deal with... i find dealing with big butt and brood mama more nitra consuming.

[grand pasture]

I'm aware yes, but that bug truly is annoying

Imagine if burst turrets could do that, that would be actually threatening

[eager atlas]

I love when they bite you with their butt

hiveguard is the easiest, he's just boring as hell
twins aren't too hard but the fact that it's two of them spices things up, it's relatively easy to lose sight of the arbalest and eat a fireball to the face

[grand pasture]

Arbalest is like 90% of the threat with twins, Lacerator is just so goofy

[copper ruin]

not this iron will clown again

[naive cipher]

what does it mean that it is impossible to restore a normal save from a quarantine one?

[eager atlas]

Lacerator is the thing you should not attack or they'll heal 🙃

[jolly wing]

Dont they heal once regardless?

And if you don't want to heal them again, slowly deplete their heals as to not have the other twin lose too much health.
Otherwise, theyll heal

[shadow temple]

Arbalest flips a coin on being the most dangerous or the least dangerous of the two

[eager atlas]

they do 1 forced heal yes, but it's very easy to overdamage the lacerator just because it's always visible

[shadow temple]

On good days, it just mostly crawls around and occasionally spits out the levitating time bombs

On bad days....

It should be illegal for it to spam fireballs 7 times in a row

😭

[maiden mulch]

so this weeks one seems pretty low profile, no?

exploders on last can be a bit picky but it seems alright

those holes in the ground on the second mission i think are rather funny

[maiden mulch]

funnily enough this edd was the first the arbalest was so far away, i even had a chance to dodge the fireballs

so far, I was also used to just eat em and pray not to die

[jagged rapids]

Honestly ya pretty chill. The last room was crazy tho. We had 3 spitballers, 2 broods and 2 breeders. Explorers popped the egg before we could clear the room too...

Chaos went down but we lived

We died the first run on s3 tho bc we're so not ready for 💩 to hit the fan like that

[celest charm]

last stage of normal deep dive is some bullshit

cramped cave gen and haunted caverns

thank god I do solo dd runs as driller

[maiden mulch]

sounds like crazy rng, the craziest thing i had was two big yellow balls blocking the dirt on second mission 😂

[rugged slate]

anyone else feel like edd this week was a walk in the park?

[strange prism]

hello!!

[maiden mulch]

yea

[drifting totem]

easier than last week's

[shadow temple]

Difficulty wise, yea
Length wise....a bit of a drag

[raven carbon]

Fairly straightforward and quick, last stage can be tricky because it's salvage and exploder, so make sure to have a gunner

First two stages are really easy

[wispy hearth]

me using the cave horror slam attack to destroy the hiveguard weakpoints as scout:

[ivory parcel]

I have never been in a deep dive what is it like?

[cosmic aurora]

You go three missions in a row

You can see pins for more info

[solid haven]

You do you, go SOLO.
My statement is for greenbeards for having IRON WILL on high difficulty missions is a must.
But if you think you so PRO that you don't need iron will then just go SOLO and dont take it on pubs. I'm 101% sure Iron will is a must on pubs and high difficulty mission. Can't take my advice? Go cry 😄

[cosmic aurora]

🤯

Impossible, good argument

[solid haven]

Some people here they think they're soooooo PRO that they don't need Iron Will on high diff. mission then theres this guy who wanted to do Deep Dives, hey mate be sure to bring Iron Will with you. Goodluck on your first DD or EDD. Rock and Stone!

[cosmic aurora]

[ivory parcel]

Rock and stone

[cinder citrus]

I don't need iron will to play in high hazard pubs. No one does. If you are repeatedly having to crutch on iron will just to play in high hazard you should probably dial it back and play a lower difficulty

[celest charm]

Does it really count as a crutch when everyone uses Iron will as an "oh shit" button just in case shit happens

It's not like the actives it competes with are particularly better

you only have like dash, IW, and medic that really compete

and you can take 2/3

[jagged rapids]

Ah, here we go again

[worthy ibex]

HI everyone I'm new 👋😊

[jagged rapids]

👋🏿 Hiya

Can you please go into #welcome-and-rules and grab a role. That'll let you access the rest of the channels here.

Once that's done go drop a hello in #drg-chat and make some friends 😉

[spiral badge]

And medic isn’t all that necessary at least for everyone to have. Usually you wait for a bit of a quiet time to revive rather than while a lot of stuff is happening

And gunner really doesn’t need medic

[spiral badge]

So your stance is “if you need IW then lower the haz, which basically means just don’t even try dives at all if you find yourself wanting to take IW”?

[worthy ibex]

Ok thx

[timid grove]

i just solo'ed this weeks elite deep dive, had to use all my revives on the last mission but it was super fun ngl

[jagged rapids]

Nice, congrats bud

[stray bane]

i had joined the EDD and for some reason it put me in an EDD in crystalline caverns opposed to dense biozone where it was supposed to be? the first stage was like 10 aquarq and a black box. it was very interesting

[jagged rapids]

That's last week's dive. Usually means the host hadn't restarted DRG after the dives were reset

[stray bane]

interesting, thanks.

[delicate reef]

I just joined the server but I cant type in a lot of channels, anyone know whats going on?

[random rampart]

#welcome-and-rules read and pick a role or two

[delicate reef]

ah, thanks

[spiral badge]

What loadout?

[grand pasture]

I need it on pubs to help carry my dumb teammates teehee :)

[cinder citrus]

What, no not at all. Take iron will if you think you need it for the deep dive or mission. What I'm saying is you should try to distance yourself from using the perk all the time.

And I'll repeat the all the time part

It's a great perk but it is still a crutch

[plain spade]

This isnt really about deep dives but for some reason I dont have permissions to ask anywhere else, I look up info about builds and I always see "212X2X" or something along those lines, what the hell does it mean?

[cinder citrus]

read the https://discord.com/channels/257785731072786435/354250235419164682 tab and pick a role and you'll be able to talk in other channels

[plain spade]

ah okay thank you

[spiral badge]

Oh of course, I use it as a SHTF last resort option if the whole team is down and someone needs to get up and res

[daring sandal]

those were some nightmarish deep dives

low oxy and ghost

[shadow temple]

I think in the context of multiplayer lobbies, iron will definitely has a lot more value. Solo not so much, sure it's an extra revive, but Bosco kinda already does that for you twice

That being said, when in multiplayer, just like...don't assume everyone has iron will?

[regal wind]

Good week to try dd for the first time?

[celest ruin]

<@&296918282403840000> ty

[spiral badge]

Yeah, I’ve had games where only I have it. I know that cause I used mine and then we went down again and lost. Either a fair amount of people don’t take it at all or assume someone else on the dive has it

[shadow temple]

Ye I think a good amt of players don't take it. Personally I don't take it myself as it just doesn't really fit with how I play the game

But regardless, a good DRG player would be wise to assume that if everyone died, to not expect iron will out of anyone

If someone does, then yay that's a bonus

But that's all it should be, it should be far from an expectancy

[gilded nacelle]

Both Edd and dd pretty simple yeah

[tired heath]

Hello yall

[celest charm]

it doesn't even fit the definition of a crutch

a crutch gimps player performance but is easier to use

a la liberty launcher from tf2

more ammo and faster velocity at the cost of damage, which gimps soldier in the long even if it is easier

Iron Will is more like Black Box

Extremely powerful and easy to use with a minor downside

and iron will's downside being you can't take dash and medic together IG?

[spiral badge]

Well to play devils advocate, the reasoning is players, knowing it’s in their back pocket, only give 90% cause if it goes south they just use it

[plush kraken]

Haunted cave on deep dive sucks

[dense pebble]

haunted cave in general is... irritating

but during a dread fight its even worse

[gilded nacelle]

Atleast it’s at the spawn point so big open area to fight in

[hollow iris]

I hope we get doretta on the next week EDD

[patent elk]

Looks like the iron will debate will never be put down

[celest charm]

If they are consistently failing, iron will not and cannot carry them. It's a one time use emergency button and if they fail again, that's it.

All iron will does is give each person using it an emergency tool when things go south, enough to turn things around

And once Iron will is gone, players will play 110% because that safety net is gone

[patent elk]

Tbh I don't really ever see that being the case. Most times whatever was the reason they went down, they will fall into that trap again.

[celest charm]

Then Iron will is worth nothing like I said

They just get farther

If they are consistently team wiping iron will won't carry them to victory.

And disregarding the whole crutch non sense

the other options is like medic and dash

maybe sixth sense

[gilded nacelle]

Is there a site for the weeks deep dive conditions

[celest charm]

and sixth sense is a crutch if anything

[celest charm]

weekly reddit post I think that shows both deep dives

and their missions

[turbid dawn]

Steeeve

[turbid dawn]

check pins for google drive link

[shadow temple]

Calling heightened senses a crutch is hilarious

[patent elk]

I never really liked sixth sense cause it lets me know of dangers way too late in advanced. So I just found it to be a waste

[turbid dawn]

same class as IW, avoidable if your giving it 100%

just look up and just dont die are similar arguments

play with whatever builds y'all want and call em whatever y'all want, it is a pve game after all

[shadow temple]

Exactly, finally a rock and stone take

[gilded nacelle]

Wrong

There friendly fire

[shadow temple]

Like they all have the same arguments if you want to call any of them a crutch

There's no "oh this is not a crutch but this is"

[turbid dawn]

dont waste time mashing keyboards, go mash bugs!

[shadow temple]

I can't, I'm at work

:(

Unfortunately the work doesn't involve smashing bugs

[turbid dawn]

yet..

[spiral badge]

It’s DvS

[valid orchid]

Idk if the pub team I had was goated (they were) and I played well (maybe) or if it was easy but the EDD went super clean with no downs for me

[gilded nacelle]

Edd this week was very simple

[celest charm]

And how is it not? It's even more irrelevant than IW. Sixth sense only matters if a cave even has a leech or grabber, and otherwise is a wasted slot, while IW always remains relevant as an emergency button.

[spiral badge]

It’s not a crutch necessarily, it just has limited utility

[celest charm]

it's a crutch because it makes the game easier for players at the cost of not using better actives

That's what a crutch is

[spiral badge]

No it’s just a 1 time get out of jail free card

[celest charm]

A "crutch" within multiplayer games usually refers to an item that helps low skill players while hindering high skill players (though usually by opportunity cost)

This is literally sixth sense

you waste a perk slot to counter something anybody with a decent amount of experience by looking up or listening to obvious sound cues

IW offers a significantly larger benefit to the point of singlehandedly turning games around which takes it from what would be a crutch to something blatantly op.

[spiral badge]

I don’t take it, I’m just sayin

You don’t have to convince me on IW please

[gusty meteor]

Sixth sense would be a real game changer against the stingtails if it procced vs them

[hardy night]

I don't like this discourse

[raven carbon]

See pinned messages in this channel

[wraith shard]

||Deep dive spoiler||

[shadow temple]

It's a funny discourse lol, cuz there's nothing to argue about. Every active perk is a crutch in its own way, and also isn't. As what Arzedra mentioned, it just boils down to playstyle

[spiral badge]

Insta killing one as it was pulling you would be so worth haha

[sweet tartan]

[cosmic aurora]

#fan-communities

[grand pasture]

Would it though?

[shadow temple]

I think the problem is the stingtail isn't really a prolonged grab like the leech, grabber or trawler

It's an immediate yank as soon as it touches you

[rigid sorrel]

Man, this week's deep dive was rough

[eager atlas]

make it so heightened senses makes the stingtail come to you instead

[uneven sand]

Don't be worried about doing the Deep Dive for the first time! Just imagine it as it is, 3 missions back to back, and I'm sure you've done plenty of successful missions in a row. Generally people are very accepting and patient with first timers, so just try to have fun!

[wraith shard]

I appreciate that, brother. Rock and stone!

[uneven sand]

Rock and stone!

[hollow iris]

Yes 3 missions back to back on hazard 5

i got haunted caves on deep dive solo

do haunted caves always pair with killing a dreadnaunt

[unique ore]

no, the mutators are in the pins, haunted can only be for certain missions so you feel like its more common with other missions

[celest charm]

No

It's random

third stage normal deep dive just extra cancer this week

[formal ore]

Ngl unknown horror kinda helped me kill dreadnaught hiveguard

[patent elk]

How?

[eternal ibex]

Same thing happened to me. When I got too close, the ghost blew up all bugs in the vicinity

[unique ore]

single player and low haz, the stomp is pretty weak from the ghost

[wraith shard]

okay i got absolutely crushed by this DD lol. Thats fine though, it was pretty fun. I hope next weeks is maybe a little less brutal?

[spiral badge]

Yeah if you are quick and good with timing you can bait the ghost to attack while the dread is close to it and have it deal a lot of damage

I accidentally did something similar with a bulk one time. The dread happened to be close to it when it exploded and killed the dread for me

[dense pebble]

bulks are a lot easier to time/position right, and its super fun to pull that off

[shadow temple]

Im sure someone out there has low-key attempted to solo dreadnoughts using only the horror, that would be pretty hilarious (and long)

[vapid kiln]

This is by far the worst normal dd, forcing to play driller pretty much. If only i knew before starting...

[misty maple]

I got this week's regular dd done far faster than last week's (in a full team though with 2 engis, driller, and me playing scout)

[vapid kiln]

i was playing solo as gunner since hes the only one i havent got to silver yet... Man first one was a pain, second one was time consuming and the third one was frustrating. Full combo.

try carving out tunnels with pickaxe, bonks, and the thing that makes pipes terraform where its placed

[dreamy sigil]

hey so uh new miner here

can we replay this week's deep dives to get the overclocks? Because matrix cores are used for overclocks afaik, and I'm not sure if overclocks can also be acquired through deep dives through the same week.

ok thanks in advance, rock and stone

Happy new year too! Rock and 2024!

[burnt sandal]

read #welcome-and-rules and pick roles

And to answer to your question : no, you can't redo the same deep dives to get more overclocks. You'll have to either do the weekly core hunt, do the elite deep dive or promote a class to get more cores. Or wait for the weekly reset.

[frail hinge]

Just ran my first deep dive with the host labelling it as "Greenbeard Carry Service". Felt amazing, everyone was on point... elite deep dives are so cool

[deep crane]

I swear whenever Im scout and I want to get overclocks for scout I never get them
Its always some class that i dont use

Is this just bad luck or something?

[gleaming blaze]

its the game telling you to play other builds, it does feel bad at first though

[raven carbon]

Partly yes and also that there's three other classes so you're much more likely to get overclocks for classes you don't use

[deep crane]

Is there an even chance of getting an overclock for each class

[raven carbon]

You only get them once per week. Replaying the deep dives will give you xp and credits but no overclocks. You have to wait for next week to get more. Weekly core hunt, class promotion, forge mastery, machine events are other ways to get overclocks.

[raven carbon]

Yes

It's random

[deep crane]

Ok so I got horrible bad luck lol

I've only gotten 2 overclocks for scout and like 5 for engineer lol

And the 2 overclocks are for weapons i dont even use sadly

[low plover]

Statistically, theres low chance to get overclock just for a specific two weapons out of your pool. Game doesnt look at that how much you play with each class. You can try other classes as mentioned above, the scout stuff will eventually drop

[gilded nacelle]

Over time you’ll just get better odds as you reduce the pool

[surreal pond]

are the deep dives delayed?

[burnt sandal]

if you're curious, I'm sure someone around here has the link for the doccumentation on all the previous dives

[burnt sandal]

restart your game

[eager atlas]

it's in the pins

[surreal pond]

alr thanks

[burnt sandal]

it is indeed, wasn't sure

[brazen goblet]

yea, those are my favorite kind of missions, was hoping for something "new" since, last time there was a lot of eggs, but oh well

[brazen goblet]

thanks!

[graceful girder]

Nice always the same three mission rotating for 2 months in a row

Fun

i guess

[brazen goblet]

just realized 5 out of 6 mission require mining Morkite lol...

[burnt sandal]

we had a refinery last week, as well as point extraction.

[graceful girder]

the last time that industrial appeared made mald ppl so much that the algorith decided to remove it completely from the game i guess

[burnt sandal]

last industrial sabotage was around the 23th November, so just a few weeks ago

[graceful girder]

In the normal deep dive?

[burnt sandal]

it was in the EDD

Considering it's a primary objective and cannot be a secondary, you're less likely to see it than some other type of objectives.

like morkite, dreadnought and eggs.

(and black box/mini-mules)

[jolly wing]

Time to restart the lobby until DM ig

[graceful girder]

yeah i feel like the last three edd was just egg morkite and mules

I dont play the normal one so i don't really care about the stats of that one

[shadow temple]

Aw man the EDD mutators ain't playin 💀

Will try later....on gunner as usual ofc

[brazen goblet]

Cave Leech Cluster... eh and again whole team will be done after entering one cave 😆

[jolly wing]

Show em who's boss by using only power attacks on the leeches

[zenith ember]

there's only 1 leech lmao

or idk, that's all i encountered

[opaque spire]

.

[wraith shard]

Hello guys 👋👋

[shadow temple]

Aight EDD solo atm

Stage 1 and 2 are actually really easy to speedrun if u wanted to. Dark Morkite makes it such that u can finish Stage 1 by the first cave (if you do so, there's only really 2 leeches to kill. Black box is also right before the first cave so it's quite convenient). Stage 2 is a really wide open cave so morkite is very easy to locate, so really it's just an egg mission.

On stage 3 rn, elite threat can either be really ok or really bad

[steep jetty]

how do i type in DRG chat

i cant text there

[shadow temple]

Something along the lines of getting roles in #welcome-and-rules

I believe

Check that out

[steep jetty]

thank you so much!

https://tenor.com/view/deep-rock-galactic-rock-and-stone-gif-22047860

[shadow temple]

Aside from a nemesis spawn, Stage 3 was also kinda straightforward, likely cuz the pool of mobs it can spawn is not too threatening

Was expecting septics like from 1 and 2, but nope, it's just brundles, web spitters and shellbacks

[shadow temple]

Kinda hilarious how u can start the dreadnought fight in the normal DD stage 2 as soon as the drop pod lets you out

[trim crescent]

what time did you get?

[shadow temple]

Didn't check, I'm not into speedrunning

Just a passing comment because I found that it was quite fast to complete with dark morkite which was what I had enabled

If I recall, the first stage only took about 6-7 mins

Could be faster but the black box just takes up most of that time

[trim crescent]

aight thanks

[sonic knoll]

2 bulks in EDD stage 2?

[fathom coral]

had 1

[drifting tinsel]

i had two bulks on stage two -- one in the first swarm and another during the escape sequence

[runic eagle]

1 time i seen 3 bulk on my EDD, it a 3 hole in 1 fight

[warped quiver]

What time is weekly reset?

[sonic knoll]

This morning (earlier)

[amber valve]

finished my first edd dang that's intense

lmao the duality of man

[manic pulsar]

Good god

Why

Why is the stage one just five craters next to eachother

And why did I roll a monsoon modifier for it

I CAN'T SEE SHIT

I LITERALLY CAN'T SEE TEH BOTTOM OPF THE HOLE EVEN IF I DROP A FLARE THERE

[austere cloak]

I tried last weeks EDD, it was going really well, stage three, just killed the dreadnought and got both of mini mules repaired, then I disconnected

[quick tangle]

last week edd is easy compared to this weeks lmao

[austere cloak]

I just finished this weeks DD, what's the deal with this weeks EDD?

(DD of course standing for double donk, what else would it stand for)

[quick tangle]

first stage of this weeks edd, fine. second stage, I want to die. third stage, I want to die but less

[austere cloak]

Is there any industrial sabatoge

[quick tangle]

no

[humble harbor]

stage 2 edd

at that point you'd better just collect all the morkite and turtle up high

[austere cloak]

It felt like there was a shit ton of nitra this DD

[near knoll]

helo guys , new player , need some help with understanding the server better , I don't know why I can't join pod channels

anyone who can help me ?

[near knoll]

how exactly do I grab a role?

[manic pulsar]

GRAAAAAH

I'M MISSING 96 BLOODY MORKITE

WHERE IS IT

[atomic glen]

EDD stage 3 had some hidden mactera plague

[hollow iris]

Dee dives don't get "scort duty or industrial sabotage" on rotation?

[burnt sandal]

they do, but only as primary objectives

[hollow iris]

They should use them more often.

[burnt sandal]

it's randomized

[cosmic aurora]

its pretty hard type of objective

[hollow iris]

Oooh.

Is always morkite, eggs, aquards, and mini mule

[hollow iris]

That's the fun

[cosmic aurora]

not really for me

[burnt sandal]

it's not

[cosmic aurora]

its randomized

so it might be any type of objective

but it cant be the same

its in the pins

[nova burrow]

Good afternoon, does anyone know how I can use the DLS that are already installed but I don't know where I can use them within the game? 🙂

[humble harbor]

DLSS or DLC

[nova burrow]

DLC sorry 🙂

[humble harbor]

they should be in your wardrobe and equipment terminal

and pickaxe customization

[nova burrow]

I saw a closet, but not all the ones I bought are there, I will continue investigating, thank you

[wide forum]

any tips on duo edd?

it's just... kinda hard

the elite threat tho

[eager atlas]

nothing aside of general haz 5 tips, eg, try to hold a good position, know your terrain and stuff like that

any class combination works if you know what you're doing

[humble harbor]

<@&296918282403840000> kill them

[thorny gull]

@hidden venture check this cool art out

jef tried his best

[kindred urchin]

On that note, does anyone know why I cant type in general chat or join any of the vc lobbies in this server. Why wouldnt i have the permission?

[thorny gull]

You should get some roles in #welcome-and-rules

It appears that either mods are too busy or too aroused by the ASCII-art

Thank you, unknown moderator

[patent elk]

Because certain missions cannot be paired together like getting IS and escort duty in one stage while others can. This is a rough guess but there's a randomized pick between 9 missions, 6 slots to fill, and 5 of them can't be paired with each other. There's bound to be some repetitive picks.

The weeks we get mostly eggs and morkite are chill weeks so I don't mind it.

[wispy hearth]

are the leech spawns in dd and edd seeded? or are they randomized each run

[trim crescent]

i think stationaries are seeded

but they also scale off player count

this is purely armchair science, i dont have a fact answer

[eager atlas]

yeah stationaries are seeded for the most part, I have seen at least one time leeches be there and completely vanish when playing the dive again with the same amount of players though, so they might be funky from time to time

[wispy hearth]

aight thanks

[vague saddle]

Sam!? Arn't you supposed to be dealing with that wannabe cyborg ninja?

[turbid dawn]

Seeded and tied to player count

[errant field]

Just finished doing my 1st deep dive and under 45min. But I feel like I don't understand much of it still, for example is it ideal to grind this in order to progress (like farming oc items?)

[turbid dawn]

you cant farm rewards, you only get the rewards once a week

[errant field]

so there's absolutely no point in doing it more than once in a week?

[turbid dawn]

you get xp and gold and any huuli minerals

[bitter canyon]

nope

[errant field]

is the weekly reset on a set date or the 1 week period starts as soon as you finish your dive?

[bitter canyon]

1 week

think wednesday

you can farm oc items with stuff like promotions

and machine events if you have spare cores tho

[turbid dawn]

every thursday is the weekly reset, i dont know at what local time it is for you though

it doesnt matter if you complete the dives 1 sec before reset either as it will reset at that time

[patent elk]

It's on a set date and time every week. The pinned message that has the week's info also shows when is reset according to your time zone.

[errant field]

Thanks for the responses

[light fractal]

Is it just me, or was this Deep Dive fairly easy?

[still iron]

yeah, same with the edd

[shadow temple]

IS and Escort Duty would be hilarious

Hacksy rides Dotty, Dotty drills to the first power station and you'll have to protect her and Hacksy. Again to the second power station, and then finally Dotty drills the caretaker

[drifting tinsel]

^ although this is likely something we won't get, i do think they would make funny combos! it would be quite nice to have doretta drill you to a morkite refinery or something haha

[stable bear]

the deep dives this week are fun but i felt there was too much morkite :/

[errant geyser]

mmm morkite

i love how it tastes

[strange wolf]

What's the Black Box objective?

[stable bear]

similar to an uplink on salvage missions

[strange wolf]

Oh, cool

Have not yet promoted a dwarf, looking forward to Dad's, though

*DDs

[turbid dawn]

kek

[scenic wyvern]

how painful is this edd? (just read pin )

[humble harbor]

the maps are swiss cheese

you should grab any difficult eggs in stage 2 that you can't immediately get bosco to carry to the spawn, because all the eggs down a chasm

[trim crescent]

considering you got dark morkite on, the first mission is literally free

theres some odd cave gen but if you keep following the left wall in first stage you just get all your morkite and leave after black box

second stage seems to be very open and kinda harsh if you wanna do it fast, plenty of spitter+septic spawns and there seems to be a guaranteed bulk too

ontop of that you got lethal enemies so you get chunked hard by projectiles

and the final is pretty much a free haz5 mission with a spicy modifier, your usual salvage op cause the morkite doesnt hold you down

[quick tangle]

first stage, this game is awesome. second stage, this game is not awesome. third stage, I want do die.

[hoary stream]

[slim geode]

ROCK N STONE Fellas, just installed the game, any tips on how to start properly?

[burnt sandal]

first off, read #welcome-and-rules and pick some roles.

then :

Here are a few tips :

1. Read the Miner's Manual. It's in the escape menu, top left corner. It contains a lot of very useful information.
2. Press V. A lot.
3. Listen to what Mission Control says at the start of missions (The spacerig doesn't count though).
4. You can use your laser pointer to ping thing for you, or your team (ctrl by default).
5. It also doubles down as a tool to analyse things.
6. When you play with other players : pay attention to the chat and to their pings.
7. holding the laser pointer will help you locate your team mates.
8. Your map (M or tab) is going to be confusing at first. You'll get used to it, don't worry about it. Just know that it's a fully 3D map.
9. Don't take more than your share of ammo in a resupply wihtout asking.
10. Stuff written in the game isn't just for show : read it.

Sniss has a great video for getting started in the game : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNTLI2zivOo

for once, the lords of RNG were by my side on the EDD. Had a pretty clean run with 2 other friends

only stage 2 was a little rough (only because the map is a mess)

[wraith shard]

Certified best mod award

[ashen spear]

How do people still not know that fully enclosing themselves in a bunker just makes bugs dig to them?

[gusty meteor]

They aint even bunkering right. Always have a quick escape route you can dig to escape the sudden bulk spawn

[ashen spear]

Some engi completely ruined an EDD by covering the tunnel in a bunker on stage 3.

I'm just gonna solo every EDD from now on.

[quick tangle]

only oppresors, all of the bulk detonators and dreadnoughts can dig

[slender heart]

Nemesis can dig too.

[quick tangle]

also once an engi tried to burrow the hacking pod under a power station and made a bunker there and caused us to almost lose

[exotic belfry]

Usually coffining (Bunker with no exit/entrance) works, but isn't great. Sucks that it made y'all fail the EDD, hope you have better luck next time.

[quick tangle]

bunkers are cringe and for leaf lovers

[ashen spear]

I'm not replaying it.

Nothing left to get other than XP and minerals anyway.

[exotic belfry]

Bunkers can work and have times and places where they help, totally ignoring them is just as leaf lovin as always using them. They have places where they do and don't work.

[exotic belfry]

Fair

[ashen spear]

Yeah, but the whole thing with completely closing them off is an old strat that doesn't work anymore and hasn't worked for a very long time.

[exotic belfry]

Yeah, coffins almost always lead to death or difficulty.

[quick tangle]

I just think it's lame

[gusty meteor]

Admittedly, had pretty cool moments by actually thinking with the Bunkers
Sentries placed at the bunker entrance pointed inwards towards the bunker (to shoot the bugs in the ass) while you got everyone firing down the entrance way at anything coming in..

Hell of a lightshow

[quick tangle]

I see how building a proper bunker can be rewarding, but I want to play a horde shooter not minecraft

[spiral badge]

Bunkering isn’t Minecraft 🤣

[burnt sandal]

bunkers are boring

that's it

regardless of how efficient it is

[spiral badge]

This is MineDraft not Minecraft

[exotic belfry]

I mean its all up to personal preference. Personally I occasionally enjoy watching bugs boil alive without having to touch my keyboard, but you might not. Overall they have uses, and are fun to some, and that's enough to validate their usage. Ofc make sure to ask your team and to not screw people over by fucking the objective. Not just with bunkering, ask before any terraforming.

[quick tangle]

I really don't care if you use bunkers in solo but doing it in co-op before asking is for leaf lovers

[tall meadow]

I let the rest bunker and I just stay on the surface

because I like bug killing

[lime vapor]

hi so idk why but i cant speak in any other channels and i kinda need help

[burnt sandal]

read #welcome-and-rules

I thought the bunker strat was dead by now lol. Legit haven't seen anyone use it or mention it in almost a year

[unreal crest]

hola :D

hay algun español?

[unique ore]

#fan-communities

when I did edd the driller on the 3rd stage decided to bunker for the refueling part, however, he just dug straight down with no way to get out, and the engi didnt patch up the ceiling fully. We had to fight for our lives in that little hole with elites coming through, still made it in the end but yeah, if you dont know how to correctly bunker, dont try it

[solemn hemlock]

Is it just me or is nobody running the regular deep dive?

I mean yeah its 5am on a saturday but theres been a buncha edd lobbies

[quick tangle]

keyword 5am

[idle obsidian]

hi

[cinder citrus]

Hi read the https://discord.com/channels/257785731072786435/354250235419164682 tab and pick a role and you'll be able to talk in other channels

[wispy hearth]

you would want a tunnel to funnel bugs in and kill them

[wispy hearth]

i have this thing called "the safe hole" where i dig the hacking pod underground, shoot a few platforms onto the adjacent wall and put a transmission node under those platforms then cover the hacking pod up. if you use hyper prop and shoot a perfect hole, the signal can go through but bugs cant

80/20 it works tho cuz sometimes an exploder gets in

[quick tangle]

that engi was just covering it and staying down there

[wispy hearth]

bunkers without a hole to funnel bugs in are just a tomb

[wispy hearth]

a fully closed bunker thats big enough can have bugs spawns right inside the bunker right?

[quick tangle]

yeah I'm pretty sure

[wispy hearth]

i remember someone saying something about that

[quick tangle]

I don't see a reason why it couldn't happen

[wispy hearth]

some people might not like bunkering but thats the strat i use on salvage or specifically for heavy mactera waves
the bunker strat with a hole that is

sealing off the bunker means you'll just have to deal with the gigantic swarm after

[wispy hearth]

what exactly caused the difficulty here? the engie sealed himself in
so that means 3 people dealing with the swarm

[quick tangle]

I like to think some people build bunkers on the haunted modifier (the one with the bulk det ghost)

[wispy hearth]

they forgor

[quick tangle]

no actually some other dude also hid in the bunker

[wispy hearth]

well at least the friendly transparent bulk detonator will give them a reminder

[wispy hearth]

so thats 2 people dealing with a haz 5.5 swarm

[quick tangle]

haz4*

[wispy hearth]

oh

[quick tangle]

it was a regular industrual sab, still 2 players dealing with haz4 swarm on a 4 player lobby is not easy

[wispy hearth]

you know i think the process of making a bunker is fun
having to think about where you should drill and how to drill it without making a hole

for salvage since the bunker will have to be below the uplink

[wispy hearth]

were u gunner? or scout

[quick tangle]

gunner

[wispy hearth]

hmm gunner would usually have a chill time defending the swarm

i mean im the guy that likes to pop all of the eggs in an egg mission and just go with the flow as gunner/driller

[quick tangle]

no it wasn't

[remote shoal]

where i can see whats o ndeep dive rn?

[wispy hearth]

pinned messages

[wispy hearth]

whats your rank?

[quick tangle]

idk like 50, I don't see how that matters though

[wispy hearth]

yeah im around 300 i can see why u said it was difficult

[turbid dawn]

it matters

[quick tangle]

like it matters in that burrowing yourself alive is a dumb idea

[wispy hearth]

no we are talking about the reason why you find a haz 4 swarm difficult

[quick tangle]

not in solo where the enemy stats are reduced compared to a full lobby

[wispy hearth]

i still find haz 4 swarm and some of 5 swarms with 4 players easy to handle solo with the right setup

[shadow temple]

Ahaha we had a Rival Presence Salvage once and this is exactly what happened when we decide to bunker

Top luck

[quick tangle]

I don't find how calling me ''bad'' adds to the discussion about bunkers being bad

[remote shoal]

does stage 3 dd has problem? i couldnt find nrmal way to last room

[shadow temple]

Shouldn't be a problem? Didn't have navigation issues

Was an engie

[wispy hearth]

you missed the point, noone was calling you bad
we were talking about how you find haz 4 swarm difficult

you are level 50, so haz 4 might be a lil over the top for you

[wispy hearth]

you said level 50 doesnt matter

it does

a level 50 player might see a haz 4 swarm differently to a level 200+ player

"bunkers are bad" depends on the player and how they make and ulitize the bunker

in your case obviously its bad because the engie sealed himself in

[quick tangle]

no haz 4 isn't over the top, haz 4 in a full lobby with effectivly only 2 people is

and it wasn't just your average swarm

[eager atlas]

enemy count for 4p haz 4 is 1.35, solo has 0.75, so does 2 players for some reason, so not acounting for bosco helping, there are less bugs per-player than if it was solo

of course enemies deal 25% more damage than solo, but it's still doable assuming both players weren't in a bad spot when it happened

[halcyon hull]

once my team and I failed an edd because we were 4 and had a very new player with us

it was a game of deal with the current swarm, revive only to get immediatly swamed again

[ruby dirge]

For Karl?

[halcyon hull]

at some point I didn't have a place to turn since the entire floor was bugs, where I kill a dozen the glyphid rug just sealed itself shut again

[eager atlas]

elite levels are 4.5, 5 and 5.5, though the last is usually not too bad since you normally have a lot of nitra from the previous levels and can afford to be wasteful

[little viper]

Should i go with bodkin points crossbow or a dps shotgun for my scout secondary for todays DD?

[exotic belfry]

Generally you would pair it with whatever you are lacking. Is your primary good at LST's? Do you struggle with trash clear?

Generally Bodkin Bolts fills a Trash clear role, while high damage boomstick fulfills a self defense and LST killing role.

[turbid dawn]

arent these turned off for the common folk?

[mossy jasper]

I have a question guys; if one player quit/disconnect during dd, will the in-game scaling be adjusted for the loss of player or it remains the the same as the dd launched?

[cosmic aurora]

Yeah, it should

[untold sun]

It should and usually does

Cause it does it when fellow dwarves join you so I’d assume it also works in the opposite direction

[weary turret]

why is this the only channel I can talk in?

[jolly wing]

Read #welcome-and-rules and pick a role

[raven carbon]

Happened to me too

And it was lethal enemies

[amber valve]

what does trash clear mean

grunts?

[chrome galleon]

sup i just wondered if doreta is a boy or girl seems obvious but the dwarfes say "good boy" so i dont really understand if shes a girl or boy

[eager atlas]

There's a line where they say to take care of her like she's your mom

they do say "this bad boy can drill so many tunnels", so it seems like the dwarves don't know either

looking at the wiki, I see more female references than male ones

[burnt sandal]

it's neither, it's a robot, it has no gender.

[quick tangle]

when they say ''good boy'' I don't think they literaly mean it. like in the same sense that you would say to a female dog ''good boy'' you don't literaly mean it (also dorreta is a female name)

[deft vapor]

Dorreta is her own gender.

@amber valve Yes. anything weak that dies quickly.

[still geode]

there are a few voicelines when you start doretta that have gendered pronouns:
"You heard the man! Let's stay close to Doretta and keep the bugs away from her! "
"Doretta is our prime objective. Let's do our best to keep her running! "
"Doretta leads the way. Stay alert and guard her like she's your momma. "

also one when you finish loading both fuel canisters:
"Drilldozer fuel at 100 percent! She's ready to go! "

when you ping doretta's head after finishing the extraction of heartstone:
"Doretta lost her head. "

The rest of the voicelines all use a variant of 'it'

[celest charm]

doretta is also femenine

[tiny dagger]

Doretta is a machine, so it's not surprising people call them a she because that's what people irl call most ships and vehicles

[spiral badge]

Probly just comes from the names. I don’t know about Doretta but “Molly” comes from it being a MULE, it’s a similar sounding name the dwarves attributed to the robot and since Molly is a female name it makes sense they call her female

[meager wraith]

I’ve been rocked and stoned

[raven carbon]

Grunts or smaller, swarmers and whatnot

hello, ive found the one channel i can talk in

also is todays deep dive good, havent played in a bit

regular deep dive is fine, elite deep dive is a different story

[cosmic aurora]

And you will be able to talk in other channels

[flat rampart]

thanks guys

[blazing silo]

Elite Deep Dive scaring me because I am afraid to not fill the role correctly. What should I play, how should I play?

[fading merlin]

Play whatever your best at, this games community is really accepting of people who are new to things so even if you do mess up chances are nobody’s gonna get upset

[blazing silo]

Deep dive is serious business though, 3rd mission failing is ouchy

[random rampart]

As to what should you play, I suggest you get pretty familiar with what every class has to offer. As to how, a preparation suggestion I have is for you to get used to haz4 and 5; elite dives follow the hazard pattern 4.5/5/5.5, so getting familiar with them will definitely help

[blazing silo]

Might go scout I don't know. I play all of them but in team play its interesting

[fading merlin]

Yea but at the same time if you never do elites you can never get better at them

[sick umbra]

God damn, this week's EDD got hands

And spitballers with breeders, what the hell

[fading merlin]

Even the normal dd is harder then normal imo

[sick umbra]

Normal one was fine, but we failed 2nd stage of edd 2 times

Mostly because 2 of our guys just rushed in the big room

[fading merlin]

Low o2 with man snatchers zucking you is my favorite

Tbf I did it duo so I probably had a harder time then most but still

[sick umbra]

Not as hard as that forgotten one with haunted caves/eggs/hiveguard one, still have ptsd from it.

[patent elk]

This what I did trying to run past that initial wave of grunts when you first arrive. Got overwhelmed fast then driller got sniped by a spitballer off in it's own hidden room and it was over after that.

[wraith shard]

Hey ! I was wondering if I can do multiple deep dives per day (Like an elite deep dive and a normal deep dive) or is there a cooldown? If not, do I still get the rewards?

[still geode]

u can do as many as u want

however the overclock rewards are only once per week for the edd and once per week for the dd

the gold and xp rewards can be gotten as many times as you want but you're generally getting less gold and xp from deep dives compared to spending the same time in regular missions, especially because you don't get crafting minerals

[wraith shard]

Ah I see, thank you very much!!

[sick umbra]

These spitballers got the best angles to snipe, there's also like 2 nests of swarmlings and breeder (and leech iirc).
In spawn there's also tunnel to the left behind dirt, probably best way to actually go.

[eager atlas]

The breeder is the worst, it activated while we still were in the spawn, so we went in to try to kill it and my friends gets leeched, then I have to run around unable to kill the breeder because it went into hiding and everything just comes for me

[patent elk]

Oh I forgot about the breeder. That bastard was a pain cause the spitballers kept us from immediately going after it and it stayed hidden and spammed pods during it.

Our scout brought cryo nades just to kill him quick the second round and it def made a difference.

[strong flint]

If anyone struggling with edd [EU] i may hop on and complete this weeks edd and help anyone

blue lvl 500+, feel free to dm if anyones struggling:)

[cinder citrus]

@burnt sandal

Add him to the imaginary list 😁

[keen kindle]

why tf cant I talk in the general chat

but i can talk here

[tiny dagger]

It's called read #welcome-and-rules and grab a role

[faint yarrow]

is anyone willing to do EDD soon? have not done mine yet

[safe crag]

this week's EDD has been kicking my butt

stage 2, specifically

[umbral bough]

I might be wrong but
Maybe its a "she" cuz its a female name?

[half elm]

Doretta, Molly, and BET-C are all female, Bosco seems to be male

[merry forum]

i've never seen a more difficult edd in my life

me n my friends did 5 attempts. 4 ended at stage 2, one at stage 3

tried different combinations like 2 gunners to cycle shields, 2 engineers for insane wave clear, scout with pheromone crossbow (fire oc) and ifgs, etc

nothing works 😭

[quick tangle]

just try a balanced team comp with all 4 classes

[merry forum]

that was what we did originally

that's exactly why we started experimenting lmao

[pale orbit]

what's the difficulty setting on deepdives?

[burnt sandal]

haz 3/3.5/3.5 for the normal deep dive
haz 4.5/5/5.5 for the elite deep dive

[strong flint]

Its not working not because of team composition, you just need to play well and not die 😅

The main and only reason new players struggle in these types of deep dives is because they don't care about their positioning

A lot of times everyone just goes to the middle of the cave, get hit by everything from all directions and get overwhelmed

Find a solid holding spot where u wouldnt be surrounded from all areas and just funnel the bugs down

[quick tangle]

aka just get good

[strong flint]

i mean u could say "just get good", but the real thing is that if u auto-pilot through games and don't think about positioning etc ull just die

Tunnels, narrow corridors or caves with a wall to cover ur back are great holding spots

[safe crag]

only team comp that worked for me is scout + engi + engi + engi

it also helps when your friends are good at the game

stage 2 of this week's EDD needs to be done with patience. until you get your bearings and settle on the vast open space after killing the spitballer/breeder, you can't go nuts

goes without saying that the egg grabbing should also be coordinated. at least the first two

we took it slow and did one by one

[zealous hedge]

anyone want to do a deep dive with me

nvm

[random rampart]

#lfg-steam

[strong flint]

i can do in 30min if u need help, i quite enjoyed this weeks edd

[cinder citrus]

read the https://discord.com/channels/257785731072786435/354250235419164682 tab and pick a role and you'll be able to talk in other channels

[grim pagoda]

Best advice is keep moving and watch the ceiling for anything hazard 5

[cinder citrus]

@burnt sandal Should he be allowed to live to ruin his speedrun

Aw

Nvm ser pounce

[burnt sandal]

he didn't get banned

he's muted

[cinder citrus]

Yes!!

He will get the worst time

[pseudo shoal]

This isn't about deep dives, I just don't have permissions for the bug report chat yet, can anyone help?

[celest charm]

Have you tried #welcome-and-rules

[pseudo shoal]

I don't have permissions for that one either

I just joined a little while ago

[cinder citrus]

You're not allowed to talk in the welcome tab it's used to tell people the rules and allow people to get roles

[pseudo shoal]

Oh okay, working on the website bug submission

[cinder citrus]

But yeah you should get yourself some roles here #welcome-and-rules message

[upbeat stump]

need help with this EDD pls :{

[jolly wing]

Wher ya from?

[random rampart]

#lfg-steam :)

[candid thorn]

me and my friends are trying our first elite deep dive ever

are there like universal class setups for

elite deep dives

like best gun kits w overclocks n shit

[drifting tinsel]

deep dives reset in a little under 24 hours! get those runs in while you can (o≧▽≦)ﾉ

[cosmic aurora]

Do whatever you are good at

If you are good at scout, go scout

[quick tangle]

if you're coordinating with your team, edd's are super easy

even if you choose sub-optimal gear

[grizzled agate]

Rock'n Stone!

[vocal ocean]

aaaaaaa

[safe crag]

tbh I think this is true for DDs only

[safe crag]

EDD class setups probably vary, but - this may seem obvious - you and your friends should pick whatever you perform best with

[safe crag]

these exist for sure

more important than picking sweaty upgrades is... being good at the game. I say that with a lot of humility I promise

I was only able to finish this week's EDD with me being a scout and 3 friends as engineers

my previous attempts had more class variety and more coordination - though nobody played as well as the engineers on my final attempt

[eager atlas]

This, being comfortable with your toolset is more important than trying to use a "meta" build that you don't quite know how it works

[bitter canyon]

this weeks dive was pretty fun

[void hedge]

guys, is the "Deep for Speed" achievement unlockable through regular deep dive? Just completed one in 29 min but didn't get it

[eager atlas]

it is, yes

[old widget]

DRG achievements are kinda unreliable, especially if you are client and not host. also make sure that if you are running mods, you are only using Verified mods. Actively enabling Approved mods (or Sandbox ofc) will disable achievements as long as those mods are on

[rough radish]

sometimes just reloading hub/relaunching game will give the achievement

[dense bough]

nerd

[vocal ocean]

no.

i did 4 runs

one with 5 players

stage 2 still multilated us

[bitter canyon]

we had 4 greybeards

[bitter canyon]

honestly we had more problems in 3rd stage

[vocal ocean]

I may be playing 24/7 rn but my beard still climate hippy green

[vocal ocean]

I shudder to imagine

[bitter canyon]

those boxes were tense

[void hedge]

Ooooh, that might be it. We ran the personal mini mule mod. Thanks, will redo without it ^^

[charred radish]

The edd?

[vocal ocean]

ye

[charred radish]

Yeah the edd second stage was rough

[rancid geode]

Chat is it me or is the sprint bugged

[fringe axle]

need one more person for an elite deep dive

pod 6 vc

[rancid geode]

I can't type in regular chat

[old widget]

go to #welcome-and-rules and grab a role

[outer heron]

I can't text in like 98% of the channels, why?

I'm trying to text in the lfg, but it won't let me TwT

[charred radish]

Get a role in #welcome-and-rules

Specifically this message #welcome-and-rules message

And the one below for the platform

[outer heron]

there's nothing I can react to there, checked pc and on mobile.

this sucks :(

[charred radish]

Try to dm a mod, maybe they can help you

[hearty geyser]

uuuh, OSR and Aquarqs on EDD, lesgoooo

[candid thorn]

man

it could've always been better

find shiny rocks in extremely shiny biome

[hearty geyser]

ya, but like, we have half the morkite we had last week. I consider this a win

[candid thorn]

stage 1 won't be so bad cause it's 4.5 hazard

last week the last stage was crazy dude

stay near some fuel cell resupply thing for 5 minutes while 20 billion elite macteras piss you off

[remote mural]

by karl im tweakin

[candid thorn]

by drop pod arrival ive cleaned up

[remote mural]

on dotty

[hearty geyser]

my only problem with elite mactera is the ultrasonic grabbers, but the rest is ok

wait, regenerative bugs in both dives, gotta bring Steeve

[candid thorn]

regenerative bugs??? not on my watch!!!

[past bear]

well, time to drink some dark morkite

[charred radish]

Hiveguard/haunted cave

[placid onyx]

Do they check if deep dives are possible?

[random rampart]

who?

[placid onyx]

Anyone in the company?

Or out it hired by them.

[random rampart]

no

i mean

they do play the dives live

so yea

maybe

[placid onyx]

Well it is showing with one I am trying.

[random rampart]

what's showing?

[placid onyx]

I have had easier times with haz 5's.

[random rampart]

it's bound to happen. any hazard can be like that

[charred radish]

Cave generation and rng plays a big role, some haz 4 might be harder than haz 5 due to generation

[placid onyx]

Everything is fast not sure why. Last mission was volatile guts in a mission where you have to stay in one place and the game was spamming enemies so I literally could not kill them if I wanted to complete the black box or they would explode and kill me.

This mission they are also still fast and have lethal on. Also still spamming. Pretty sure the game is not limiting enemy spawn since I got two hord warning near each other which I have never seen happen.

There is no other things added to the levels.

[charred radish]

There's no lethal enemies

[placid onyx]

I have it.

[charred radish]

You might be playing last week's still

Or are you talking about elite threat

[grand pasture]

1.5k kills at the end of the elite, that went well :)

[candid thorn]

in a scout, gunner and engi team should i take gunner for more firepower or driller to dig shit up

i saw there's 10 aquarqs on last stage

we'd have to get through that fast

[charred radish]

Ima say driller since on site refining

[fathom coral]

Driller is a huge clutch for lvl 2

God, a neme came to bb and kicked our shit in, lmao

[drifting tinsel]

the refinery stage is doable without a driller but having one would be helpful

[outer cloud]

i played engi and plats were more than enough for the one pumpjack that was harder to reach

very easy edd layout wise

[patent elk]

10 aquarqs and BB on stage 3 edd. That's sounds like it's gonna be really chaotic but fun. And it's been a while since I seen RP on a deep dive in general as well. Debating whether I should take a fire build just for it.

[shadow temple]

EDD solo rn, engie

Stage 1 is surprisingly fine, can easily be done without needing to call down a supply pod. Don't be anxious if you don't find any morkite throughout the entire cave, as far as I know, you can get all of the 200 in the last cave so just focus on the mini mules and navigating the cave

Stage 2, doing rn...initial spawn area is very rough. Bunch of septic spreaders, 3 sniper towers above, 2 brood nexuses and there's a leech near them as well along with several turrets. Definitely take them out asap cuz the first swarm spawns very fast and you don't want to be dealing with everything mentioned above when it comes

[fresh skiff]

the 10 aquarqs were surprisingly quick to get, all spawn relatively close together. Was in that final stage no longer than 10 minutes and i felt it was easier than stage 2

[compact otter]

Wtf is the second stage of the edd this week??

[patent elk]

Ahh that ain't so bad then.

[shadow temple]

Aight just finished EDD solo. Stage 2 definitely takes the longest and is the hardest stage of the EDD. Can testify that Stage 3's aquarqs are very easy to reach and locate, so the only other challenge is the black box...but you have critical weakness, so it should be even easier to defend. Black box is dead straight ahead from the drop pod entrance, so just make one mad dash forward and start it immediately upon arrival

Tho Stage 2 is the hardest, I think it depends how nice RNG is to you when it comes to swarms and rival spawns

Mine wasn't that bad given that no nemesis spawned throughout and the swarms were relatively basic

[quiet slate]

Hello I wanted to ask a question on the drg chat but I don't have access to it for whatever reason. What is the difference between LithoVac and LithoFoam ? Simply are they both needed ?

[burnt sandal]

read #welcome-and-rules and pick roles
they're both needed for the task they're used for.

one sprays foam, the other sucks the foam, which remove rockpox boils.

[quiet slate]

Alright thank you

[fathom coral]

Driller is just the bees knees for lvl 2 EDD, stay for drop pod immunity, tag the mainframe, and let em do the work while you grab the agro of everything else

then i personally used Scout with the crossbow and cryo OC for the spawners and spitballers, and just clean up work from there

[devout peak]

@fathom coral thank you for the advice our team used this and are working on cleaning up our time currently for a sub 20

[eager atlas]

No, they are randomly generated, but all should be possible anyway, the worst case I heard was one where you had to mine every single morkite perfectly or use morkite beer because there was barely enough for a level, but that was it

[placid onyx]

I think the problem was mainly that I was doing it solo.

[eager atlas]

ehhhh, I'd argue solo is easier, potentially, since you are guaranteed to be revived if you go down, enemy count is lower and they deal less damage, on top of being able to dictate when you progress the mission for things that you know will spawn a swarm

you also have all the ammo in the world, to the point where you can heal using resupplies and not care about the wasted ammo

[burnt sandal]

if a DD generation is bugged/really bad, it can happen that they reroll it.

or make some tweak to it.

[eager atlas]

I see, I've seen things change before but wasn't sure if it was a bug or something else

[fathom coral]

that sounds so cool barely having enough, must've sparked some vocal complaints xD

[burnt sandal]

well it made is impossible to complete if you didn't do perfect mining/were not using the dark morkite beer

[quick elbow]

what build to run for driller?

[zealous arrow]

You can only do a deep dive for reward once a week, right?

But you can do both the normal one and elite once a week?

How much experience would you say one needs to do an elite deep dive? I have a x2 promoted gunner and x1 promoted driller, full upgrades and completed all types of missions on haz5

I just don't wanna get looked down upon by others for being player lvl 30 lol

[burnt sandal]

if you can play haz 4 consistently/haz 5, you'll be fine

[zealous arrow]

Haz4 is pretty much relaxed for me lol

[burnt sandal]

then you'll be fine

[zealous arrow]

Thanks

[fathom coral]

i wasn't the Driller, i just made up the game plan, but probably don't use Cryo gun this EDD, fire is better for the rivals and regen bugs.

[fast field]

EDD Awful Impact - Stage 2 shall forever go down in history!

Stingtails + Septics was quite the treat... that, plus Nemesis!

With 2000 hrs, this was...

https://tenor.com/view/surprise-welcome-one-sure-gif-13921142

[burnt sandal]

sounds fun

should try it

[quick elbow]

what fire setup is actually best for driller btw
sticky flames, or deeps?

[dry cave]

OMG the second stage of EDD this time 😅

1st and 3rd ez.

[deep cobalt]

its good fun gettting spawncamped by turrets

[brazen goblet]

I just tried EDD, WTF???

rival presents my *ss, it is whole army

[compact otter]

Yea

[vocal ocean]

It’s worse than the one with lethal enemies 😭?!?

[eager atlas]

I think the blackbox is the hardest part for this one, last EDD was only the opening that was hard

[proud zealot]

EDD stage 2 has cursed gen

[amber valve]

bro it's insane

how do you even handle that

[twin oriole]

yikes stage 2

[keen cedar]

Everyone getting hiveguard as part of stage 2 initial spawn?

[humble harbor]

sticky flames in general poops on direct damage

[patent elk]

It does but it shines really good on black box/salvage

[keen cedar]

Its okay but yeah really you want to aim at floor

[humble harbor]

fsd sticky flames for this edd

kills any septic or spitter

[tiny dagger]

Everyone gets the same dread type in order in EDDS and DDs

because of seed

[keen cedar]

Well spawn type can be random

So I was wondering if the dread is a certainty

Or using normal spawn logic

[humble harbor]

it spawned a hiveguard because it says hiveguard this week

[keen cedar]

Thats normal DD

[tiny dagger]

It's random on dreadnought swarms

[keen cedar]

I should have said EDD stage 2

[tiny dagger]

Did you get a dreadnought swarm?

[fast field]

No, I run it multiple times, no Dread, and Nemesis instead once.

[keen cedar]

Yeah we got through that nightmare start to stage 2 then hiveguard spawned on us

[tiny dagger]

Dreadnoughts are never random when spawned by eggs

[tiny dagger]

game really wants you guys dead

[humble harbor]

nice 3rd morkite well

[eager atlas]

that's some fancy rng you got

[keen cedar]

Yeah just wanted to make sure its rng so dont need to prep for it next time

I thought it was but wasnt 100%

[humble harbor]

i really do not like when the wells dont line up with the rig

ocd pipe laying moment

[twin oriole]

wow stage 2 is awful

[humble harbor]

I would save all my C4 specifically for that stage 2 edd black box

the stun will save you

[hearty geyser]

Nemesis is always on stage 2, uh

What a rough mission. Barely made it with my usual group

[twin oriole]

just died in that stage in 3 diff pubs in a row lol

[tender gull]

Uhh, for whatever reason I don’t have access to any lfg tabs. I just need the one for PlayStation.

[still geode]

do u have access to #welcome-and-rules

[tender gull]

Yup.

[burnt sandal]

read #welcome-and-rules, pick roles.

[tender gull]

Oh, it didn’t have my role registered. Weird.

Thanks.

[wraith shard]

@wraith shard

ghost are you here

h

[charred radish]

yes, deep dives are set

[eager atlas]

It's a very common spawn because rival presence, but no, it isn't always there

[twin oriole]

wow stage 3 is also tuff

hardest edd in a long time imo

it do be an awful impact

[charred radish]

wtf is that edd stage 2 spawn

[fathom coral]

a fun one

[normal drift]

How do you get access to talk in the main chat?

[charred radish]

get a role in #welcome-and-rules

[normal drift]

Thank you

[atomic skiff]

oh wow edd stage 2 got hands this week

[twin oriole]

finally beat it I wish it was that hard every week

now my life has less meaning 😦

[eager atlas]

do it again, with no upgrades or perks

[ancient grove]

how's the EDD this week?

[eager atlas]

1st stage has al the morkite in the end
2nd stage can be pretty rough, interesting welcome and very open blackbox combined with very annoying spawn pool
3rd stage is relatively straight forward, not much to say about it

both 2nd and 3rd stage have a stonehenge which is pretty interesting

[ancient grove]

3rd stage seems nice for my gunner

critical weakness + the revolver =

[vocal ocean]

my team was strong so it was a good challenge

but last week 4 tries couldn't get past stage 2

[vocal ocean]

[wispy hearth]

explained why my ice spear did nearly 5k on a goo bomber weakpoint hit

[dry cave]

Negative. Did it twice, neither time got Nemesis, but 2nd attempt felt a lot more difficult than 1st.

[ashen star]

aye, any tips for this weeks edd?

[ashen star]

i do my edd's solo, i didn't have much time this week and tried it just before refresh and NEARLY and i mean nearly made it out, got fucked over by bad bug rng

[jolly wing]

yall werent kidding about edd stage 2

[ashen star]

am i supposed to be scared of this edd?

(should i play guner like usual or engi)

and how bad is it compared to last edd stage 2?

[vocal ocean]

Typical has 5

[ashen star]

oh, then ez clear

[vocal ocean]

But my team was good afaik

[ashen star]

is it weird that i solo has 5s?

and edds

[vocal ocean]

I’ve never seen Busco on my screen

[ashen star]

bosco, and neat

now thats how ya do it, an entire deep dive with one resup

[jolly wing]

just pray to karl that no nemesis in stage 2 EDD

got a team wipe in first run

second run fortunately didnt spawn

and used driller to sneak past to hack the machine that disables them

[little viper]

oh lordy haunted cave on the first mission?

[hearty geyser]

glad to know it's not always. All 6 runs I did between 2 groups had it, I guess the really lucky ones didn't have it spawn

[jolly wing]

Haunted cave on mining expedition isnt bad tbh

You have free exit dug out for ya

[balmy hollow]

Is there any way to solo the edd this week?
