deep-dive-discussion

[balmy hollow]

I tried and i was stressing out

The spawn of the 2nd mission is so dumb

[bitter canyon]

dont leave pod till evrything is dead

[shadow temple]

Did it as engie, if you can get past the 2nd stage, the 3rd stage is more "free" in a sense

Focus on those initial spawns, you've got the brood nexus and turrets, those ones you gotta take care of asap

[balmy hollow]

Is Cycle overload + capacity shard diffractor good enough?

I'm bad with oc names

[shadow temple]

dw I'm bad as well, I'm not very knowledgeable outside what I normally use

Let me look at that rq

Ok well..straight off the bat, you are going to suffer in terms of area damage

So I wouldn't really recommend it, you're going to be facing quite a lot of bugs in all 3 stages, 2 of which force you to stay in an enclosed area (black box) so you're definitely gonna want more AoE options

Breach cutter would be good as an "oh shit" moment when getting swarmed

And then there's LOK-1's classic chemical rounds OC that shreds swarms

You can spam breach on Nemesis if it appears

On my end I used Plascrete Catalyst OC for Shard Diffractor, so I guess I'm somewhat lucky I didn't get a Nemesis on my run

[exotic belfry]

Yeah, but due to CO huge DPS and low range it would be smart to build the Shard for AOE and HVT, Let me put together a build for you rq

[balmy hollow]

Thanks a lot guys. By the way i have the chemical rounds for the Lok 1, but i never used it? How good is it?

[exotic belfry]

Very good but a bit finicky

[balmy hollow]

I see

I would like to keep the shard diffractor as a strong dps option. Is there any other way to get AOE as an engi?

[exotic belfry]

What OC are you running on shard? I'm assunming you mean the clean OC Efficiency Tweaks, but want to make sure

[exotic belfry]

Elect Stubby, or Turret whip Warthog

[balmy hollow]

Yea +25 capacity and 50 ammo

[exotic belfry]

If you like high DPS shard running stubby or Elect Loc is great, since T5A on shard gives +33% to electrocuted targets

[shadow temple]

When used properly, it is extremely effective. The biggest problem with it has to do with ammo conservancy

[balmy hollow]

I'm bad with using ammo efficiently

But ill look into it thx

[balmy hollow]

That sounds great. I'll see if i can make something with that

[shadow temple]

Yea, dw, I ignored that gun for the longest time cuz I just couldn't be ammo efficient enough

You might eventually get it in the future

[exotic belfry]

https://karl.gg/preview/35225#/ This is what I would run

[shadow temple]

:3

[balmy hollow]

Nice, cheers

Thanks a lot guys

[humble harbor]

if you play as scout you can bait the hiveguard spawns into the ghost and it'll wipe them all out

or just facetank it because it's low haz

[warped quiver]

I didn’t know the ghost can do friendly fire damage to bugs lol

[patent elk]

What I did to try and be more efficient with ammo on the lok1 using explosive rounds is only target where large groups of bugs are bunched up and let only one or two get 3 locks before letting go. The explosion would be enough to wear most of the group's hp so you'd only need to do it 2-3 times. For smaller groups I use lure to bunch them up into larger groups for the lok1 and for single target I use either shard or hyper prop pgl since it's not worth using the lok1 on.

[eager atlas]

I did this once, but while turrets positions are fixed, their types isn't, so the 2nd time I just got massacred while underground by pushypushy turrets

[humble harbor]

could just put a patch of sticky flame under turrets

[pale orbit]

any tips for stage 2 edd? this week XD

[eager atlas]

don't rush in at the begining, and prepare the terrain for the blackbox, I guess

[ancient grove]

this week's EDD isn't too bad, 1st stage is pretty straightforward, as is the last stage, however the 2nd stage is a bit tough

[vocal ocean]

My gunner ass could never

[blazing silo]

can someone suggest me nice elite deep dive driller build?

[fallow niche]

uh, for this week it looks pretty straightforward. any sort of general purpose setup should be fine

probably lean toward flamer since rival presence on one stage.

[tiny dagger]

game isn't really that hard imo so anything will work, but I personally take FSD 23231 with persistent plasma 22222

for OCless it's the same weapons and build but without the overclocks

[fallow niche]

22331 CFV flamer and 21122 energy rerouting EPC is my comfy go-to 'i hate grunts and thinking' comfy build, personally

sludge is also generally acceptable for robots, id say

[tiny dagger]

no charge speed with tcf?

[fallow niche]

energy rerouting makes it tolerable, for my muscle memory anyway

mostly just mine or smack praets with it when running flamer, so going a bit slower is fine to me.

[wraith shard]

can i ask whats on the normal deep dive ? stage one 2 and 3

[fallow niche]

it should be updated in the pins, if you like

[wraith shard]

o

thank u!!!

[strange prism]

gm!!!!!

[quick tangle]

wtf the second stage of this weeks edd is absolute cancer

[fallow niche]

just finished it, yeah its rather nightmarish

doable, just need to kinda stay on top of adds

[humble harbor]

3 main problems
-the rival controller
-the black box
-the farthest morkite well

[fallow niche]

being a meme scout didnt help matters much in my case :p

[quick tangle]

does the rival controler always spawn in the same spot?

[humble harbor]

honestly just the logistics of connecting that well was a big enough pain in the ass to make the final time almost an hour

its missions like that where you just gotta say screw it and make the worst pipes imaginable so you can be done

[eager atlas]

yes, same for the turrets, though turret types are random

[quick tangle]

I died immediatly when I entered the second stage

[eager atlas]

the top well isn't an issue unless you have neither a driller nor an engineer

[wraith shard]

.

[quick tangle]

I should probally bring hyperprop + heat mod combo

hello

[eager atlas]

the biggest issue for us (scout driller duo) was the black box, perhaps engineer could have been a bit better with how painfully open it is

[quick tangle]

I'm playing solo

[humble harbor]

fsd with c4 stun should help

[eager atlas]

trijaw, stingtail, then a septic spread makes the whole floor unwalkable and an acid spitter finishes you off 🙃

[quick tangle]

that's exactly what happened to me 😭

[vocal ocean]

I think my team was too good I did not suffer on this stage 2

Last week stage two the furthest I got was with fellow green beards ironically

[quick tangle]

wait how do you even disable a turret controler?

[eager atlas]

you hack it, like the anthena nodes

you kinda need to dig to it since being above means you get massacred by turrets, though I guess gunner could do it with the shield

[quick tangle]

and how am I supposed to do that while I'm getting shot by turrets?

[eager atlas]

well, you dig usually as I said, though if repulsion turrets spawn near it, you may need to take those out since they can still hit you underground

[quick tangle]

also does a turret controler buff the turrets around it?

[eager atlas]

if you hack the controller all the turrets in the levels explode

so it's the risk of dying like a potato hacking but it pays off if you do

[quick tangle]

lets go I got the controller

[humble harbor]

you can clear a few turrets especially if you have anything with good heat

[fallow niche]

if your gunner is a slick gamer he can do the controller minigame in one shield duration.

[ashen star]

and I was playing gunner

Big Bertha micro flechettes busted

[unique ore]

doesnt really help against the repulsion turrets tho which is the main problem imo, anyone can clear the controller easily if theres no repulsion turrets nearby by just digging under the controller

[quick tangle]

yes I beat the second stage on my second try 💯

[safe crag]

nice!

[slender hedge]

Sup guys haven’t played in months. What’s a good build for my gunner? Gonna be him for one promotion straight probably.

[quick tangle]

just combine weapons and upgrades that you like

[little viper]

Anyone got tips for todays first deep dive stage? concerned about the haunted cave bit

probably going to be running scout with m1k and boomstick

[eager atlas]

it's mining expedition so it shouldn't be much of an issue, if the ghost catches up to you just go do something else in the cave

the cave with the hiveguard should be large enough for it to not be problematic, but there you are just at the mercy of pathfinding of both things

[little viper]

now just ot wait 10,000 years for people to join qwq

[shadow temple]

It kinda sucks that the dreadnought for the haunted cave is hiveguard

Hiveguard and horror mix horribly together if solo, so hopefully u get at least one other person

[shut fox]

I can't submit a bug/glitch how do I get access?

[graceful girder]

A wave can spawn during a black box up?

I mean, a wave outside the black box event pattern

[eager atlas]

afaik swarms are paused during that, not sure about ambient waves

[patent elk]

I believe it can only if it spawns right before you start BB from unfortunate timing

[rich jetty]

Anyone have any tips for gunner setup for elite deep dive stage 2 this week? Neurotoxin is not doing well against bots. In general would like some tips for stage 2 in general.

[patent elk]

Fire is still best against bots so probably burning hell lead storm with 31121 and volatile bullets bulldog with 23311 will be best bet.

[still geode]

Id take hot bullets and dmg mod

U want the ranged ignition and damage helps ignite faster

[fallow niche]

LSLS also always reliable, provided you can reasonably track patrol bots (though have fun when they decide to go sicko mode and start ricocheting around shellback style)

[rigid sorrel]

Christ that 2nd stage of the EDD

https://tenor.com/view/d-day-saving-private-ryan-gif-14820351

Literally like landing on the beaches of Normandy

[wispy hinge]

It won’t let me type in any other chat, how do I fix

[reef girder]

i can see that opening stopping SO many fucking runs

dont get that turret controller down immediately and you're kinda screwed

when i did it there were so many statics harassing us

[rigid sorrel]

I'm bringing out the Anti Rival tech build

[vernal bobcat]

Everyone else is saying burning hell and volatile bullets (which I agree are good) but I've had great success with plasma bursters and triple tech chambers

[vernal bobcat]

gotta either take down the turrets or immediately book it to the rig and take cover behind it

the latter is more consistent

[reef girder]

Eh I think getting the controller down is easier as long as you are quick

[vernal bobcat]

and there are no repulsers or you destroy them, yeah

[reef girder]

Drill down, have an engie follow you and platform the entrance

[vernal bobcat]

I hacked it right off the bat as gunner on my first run

[reef girder]

Oh yeah I was lucky enough to not have any repulsers

[vernal bobcat]

but it's been risky business, and can tank the run if you mess up

using rig has cover has been consistently a good strat

just run left straight out the gate

[vernal bobcat]

same

[reef girder]

We were going so well but lost the 3rd stage because stingtails

[vernal bobcat]

huge oof 😦

lost on 3rd only once so far and it was because someone started the black box early

without checking if we were ready

thats pretty bad m8

my condolences

if anyone needs help I can play gunner or driller

legendary on both and I've beat the EDD about a half dozen times at this point

sheesh

agreed, only 2nd stage is

and usually because of bad team

pubs giveth, pubs taketh away

yah I just ran with an dummy gunner and I gotta agree

friendly fire with bullet hell downing us and starting black box while we were all off building pipes

bad shields

the works

[stable bear]

Phew that EDD was a doozy

2nd stage had a dread and nemesis

[jolly wing]

Oh damn.
Not only nemesis, but dread?

I got lucky on my second run with the same team doe

Since no nemesis

[quick tangle]

Bro got a dreadnought 😭

[charred radish]

that edd stage 2, yeah guess ill skip this weeks

[barren current]

is 3rd stage of elite hard? wanna know if there is a point in getting through second

[humble harbor]

no

[barren current]

good. thanks for the answer

[humble harbor]

fsd driller should handle this edd no problem

[quick tangle]

it's just your average point extract

[shadow temple]

Nope, in fact, I'd go further to say it's an even easier PE even though it has 10 aquarqs

They are all located close to each other and are easy to spot

Just make sure you are doing the black box the first thing you spawn into the map

[graceful girder]

I got a wave spawn during a box while it was at 60% 💀

First time it happened, unluckily

mission control didn't want me to get that third stage

[silver pelican]

EDD is aids this week

[humble harbor]

seems a lil tame ngl

[fleet arch]

bruh da hell was that deep dive

got damn normandy landing

[quick tangle]

specificaly the second stage

[grand pasture]

Sometimes I get teams like this, then they call me bad after I get most kills as Scout

[foggy moon]

stage 1 was the hardest

normal DD

[stable bear]

3rd stage was the easiest imo

[vernal bobcat]

critical weakness go brrrr

[eager atlas]

cries in driller

[stable bear]

I think the squad i was with it only took ~12-15 mins wven with black box

[vernal bobcat]

yo where is everyone getting these dread spawns during EDD

[stable bear]

even*

[vernal bobcat]

Got nemesis twice but no hint of a dread

[stable bear]

Have no idea

[eager atlas]

Regular waves can be replaced by dreadnoughts sometimes
the refinery stage takes long enough and people are playing it enough times that they eventually get a dreadnought

[foggy moon]

haunted cave + hiveguard was so hard

[stable bear]

Ya we barely made it out of refinery alive with only 1 dwarf left behind

Oh yeah especially on strata

Where the ghost blends in with the terrain and i cant friggin see it

[foggy moon]

yeah

[stable bear]

Drop pod lands and suddenly my whole team goes down and they just tell me to run. Get to the pod, but someone has IW luckily

[foggy moon]

i have never done EDD

any tips?

might try it today

[stable bear]

This one was a bit more tough than the previous 2 imo. Gotta bring your A game

Depends on the class you wanna play too

[foggy moon]

engi and scout

my friend is engi

[stable bear]

Ah, honestly dont think it matters too much

I’d bring ifg/cryo nades if going scout

Something for swarm clear because you arent always gonna be near your teammates

[foggy moon]

we are just duos

i honestly find pheromone best for clearing swarms

i ususally tend to power attack a lot of them together after phereomone

[stable bear]

Ah yea that works too

[foggy moon]

which one is ifg?

the boomerang

?

or the dome shaped electric thingy

[celest ruin]

first one

slow field

hidden +30% damage increase

[foggy moon]

oh

thats the worst one right

why would you pick that over freeze

slow is just a worse freeze

[celest ruin]

no

[foggy moon]

i prefer the last 2 anyways since the boomerang helps deal damage aswell as slow the enemy

[celest ruin]

boomarang falls off hard with only up to 8 stuns and minimal damage

while ifg gives a damage boost

and huge aoe

[foggy moon]

hm

thats a fair point

i guess its situational but i find it rare for enemies to be that close together in a swarm

not 8+ anyways

[celest ruin]

what hazard are you playing?

[foggy moon]

usually 3

sometimes 4

i mostly stick to 3 though

[celest ruin]

yeah most haz 5 waves just have mountains of bugs coming at you at once

[foggy moon]

i see

[celest ruin]

you can slow a side with ifg and just have you driller completely shut down whatever is coming even harder

[foggy moon]

hm

[celest ruin]

big stuff also get stun resistancce

[foggy moon]

i play duos only though so i dont have mucch experience playing with gunners and drillers

[celest ruin]

so if you have a boomarang hit a few praetorians they're moving again quickly

[foggy moon]

wdym

[foggy moon]

oh right

pheromone >>>

[celest ruin]

big stuff stunned for less time

[foggy moon]

oh

thoughts on pheromone?

[celest ruin]

exchangable with cryo for best scout nade

very good at reliving pressure

[foggy moon]

why is it as good as cryo?

pheromone also makes them damage each other while distracting them from you

[celest ruin]

flash freeze big targets

[foggy moon]

pheromone distracts big targets

[celest ruin]

you kill them easier with cryo

• instakill mactera

[eager atlas]

IFG is godlike in chokepoints, 30% more damage while it slows down bugs for... 15? 20 seconds?

[foggy moon]

oh

[eager atlas]

I do believe pheromones are potentially better though

anyway, EDD goes from haz 4.5 to haz 5.5 so the best tip is to be used to haz 5 and know what each warning does

[foggy moon]

i like to pheromone, get them all with the power attack and regain all that hp with vampirism 🤤

[foggy moon]

i havent even unlocked haz 5

[eager atlas]

If you can do haz 4 then it might be a bit rough but you could do it

[foggy moon]

alright

thanks

[tender gull]

Would anyone be willing to run an elite deep dive with me around 3:00PM CST?

[wind thunder]

The IFG is perfect for Elimination.

Plus it lasts longer.

And enemies can walk into the field, Cryo explosion only happens once.

And you won't affect yourself.

[foggy moon]

oh

just beat stage 1 EDD

[wind thunder]

First time I did an Elimination mission with my Scout (which was by total accident, I thought I had selected my Driller), I did all that.

The IFG really works on everything.

It was perfect for cheesing all the Dreadnoughts (especially the vanilla one).

More damage dealt to the guy, plus he moved even slower giving me more time to reach his ass and pump it full of lead.

[foggy moon]

in the 2nd stafe

stage

theres

a

whole bunch of robots

in the start

like turrets

and these things which send out force fields

[wind thunder]

Ah.

Rival Presence was active, wasn't it?

[foggy moon]

yeah i think so

what to do

[wind thunder]

Kill them all.

[foggy moon]

in one sjuch room

i rememmber hacking

something

[wind thunder]

Yeah.

[foggy moon]

and it all went down

[wind thunder]

The turret controller.

That's usually somewhere in the level whenever Rival Presence is active.

[foggy moon]

coultn find it

[wind thunder]

oof

What class did you play during this particular run?

[foggy moon]

scout

[wind thunder]

He's got good precision with a bunch of his weapons.

Even the stock DeepCore GK2 ought to handle the sniper turrets from afar (especially if you have the accuracy modifier present).

[eager atlas]

the controller is right in the middle of all the turrets

[wraith shard]

fellas I know this isn't deep dive related but why can't I chat anywhere but here?

[random rampart]

#welcome-and-rules read and pick roles

[wraith shard]

ah, mb

[wind thunder]

Not always. I often encountered all of the turrets before I even found the turret controller.

Funny enough, I encountered Rival Presence for the first time during the third mission of my first successful Deep Dive.

[eager atlas]

I meant in this dive

[wind thunder]

Ah

We actually happened to be dropped a few meters away from the controller itself.

Took me a while to get to it then 'cuz I was so swarmed with bugs and rival tech it was hard to breathe.

Not to mention my teammate went off elsewhere shortly after beginning so I basically had to fend for myself.

SO

What am I to expect for this current Deep Dive?

... beyond Rival Presence, that is?

[eager atlas]

the rival presence and the black box location are the main dish, the first level is weird because all the morkite is in the end, but it's pretty straight forward

3rd level is also straight forward, don't forget to do the black box early, critical weakness helps a lot

[wind thunder]

No Low Oxygen warnings, right?

Low Oxygen is probably the worst.

[stable bear]

eh i find lethal enemies more annoying

low 02 is a close one tho

[eager atlas]

none, you can check pinned messages for current info

[outer sable]

shield disruption.

[wind thunder]

I've not had much trouble with Lethal Enemies.

[wind thunder]

That one's more annoying than bad.

[outer sable]

yeah but at least with low o2 you get to survive a hit from most enemies if you manage to lose most of your health

[stable bear]

not that bad, i dont use any of the shield mods in my armor so it doesnt make much of a difference

[lunar terrace]

lol @ EDD mission 2. We got 2x Nemesis (not at same time though)

opening was fun

[vernal bobcat]

Shield disruption also gives you a defense boost iirc, so you can play around it. Red rock blasters make it so much easier

[vernal bobcat]

How long did your S2 run for you to get 2 nemeses?

[lunar terrace]

~44 minutes. took us 2 tries to win the EDD

lol @vernal bobcat

[neat nymph]

Yo, I’m looking for sum gentlemens who would help me for the lethal mode affectation

[burnt sandal]

#lfg-steam

and other LFG channels, depending on your platform

[vernal bobcat]

Whew no wonder. Usually my S2's have only run around 30 mins and that was long enough for the situation to go fubar

[eager atlas]

The worst part of lethal enemies is that you forget about it

low o2, shield disruption, whatever, just makes its presence noticiable

but with lethal enemies it's easier to forget and just get hit because you are not playing as careful as you should

[lunar terrace]

yeah most EDDs total length is like 50-60 minutes for us I guess. this one lasted like 73 minutes (gameplay time). S2 was quite active and fun haha. first attempt (that we failed) it was just that crooked S2 beginning lol

really burned through the nitra on S2 though. didn't have enough for a resup starting S3, but S1 and S3 were comparatively a breeze so whatever

[outer sable]

really?

[vernal bobcat]

yup, 30%

and I think red rock gives you 30% hp on top of that

[still geode]

red rock actually gives 69%

[vernal bobcat]

nice 😎

[vernal bobcat]

I'm about to run a couple EDD runs if anyone wants a hand finishing it!

gimmie a min and I'll post in lfg

[alpine geode]

Could just be me but this week's deep dive was absolute pain from the starting level: ice region, haunted cave, with morkite and a dreadnought. They really make you sweat this week 🥵

Edit: that being said, the next two sections were child's play lol.

[dreamy gulch]

can i do an elite deep dive after a normal deep dive for rewards

[vernal bobcat]

yes

both give you rewards separately

[quick tangle]

Stage 1 of this weeks dd is nothing compared to stage 2 of this weeks edd

[alpine geode]

Thanks for the warning. I plan on jumping in that tomorrow 😅

[north arch]

guys if you play drg on colsone, it is very hjard to play since when i want to get back to the rocket, it is a pain to me ass for me to get there

the road is dark

it's so inconvenient

sometimes cant preee x for the zipline

and i cant freely

[quick tangle]

fyi ”hjard” and ”preee” are not words in the english language, hope that clear things out 👍

[vernal bobcat]

the best platform

[sick umbra]

Okay, that 2nd stage of EDD done me dirty. Just why

[foggy moon]

deep

[south oak]

idk

terrain seems pretty chill

that 2nd stage

[craggy violet]

Doing solo on the 2nd stage of the EDD is genuinely insane. Nemesis, tons of turrets, the big blue floater thing, tons of swarms. Absolute madness.

[vernal bobcat]

I'm running the EDD a couple more times today for anyone who needs help with it

just eating brekkie first

[wraith shard]

#lfg-xbox-microsoft deep dive NA

[brazen panther]

did this week's edd on 5.5x2 that second mission is going to give me nightmares

[leaden cypress]

no

[manic charm]

what does no mean

[brazen panther]

no.

[wraith shard]

Morning

[astral gazelle]

I LOVE SEPTIC SPREADERS

(LIE)

[spiral badge]

Anyone here on Xbox wanna help me beat EDD today?

[random rampart]

#lfg-xbox-microsoft

[spiral badge]

I’ve tried there before. Nobody seems to know what DDs are

[rose sedge]

damn, todays EDD stage 2 is d-day

walk out of pod and die instantly

2 turrets staring you in the eye, with a healthy dose of spitballers behind

[floral rivet]

this weeks edd is definetly is the hardest i had in while tbh couldnt complete stage 3 in 6 attempts and counting

[tight garnet]

I just join this server only to tell you my magnificent record on the Elite Deep Dive

Failed 11 time

I now have contracted PSTD

The sound of the stingtail shake me to the core

And I'll send my doctor note to the Devs for them to pay for my anxiety meds

[vocal ocean]

When I did it, it was fine

Last weeks stage 2 was hell with lethal enemies

[fast field]

Shoutout to EDD Awful Impact: Stage 2! Gotta be the most fun in a looooooong while. I keep redoing it for the heck of it! 🪷 Nectar Rind 🪻 Gurken Shuck 🥝 Comba Bud

[thick ibex]

[safe crag]

kept hearing this, figured the 2nd stage of the EDD was the one with the haunted cave thing

turns out it's on-site refining. that's worse. 💀

[tight garnet]

With rivals and Black Box

[rustic turret]

wtf is this 2nd stage lmao

I love septic!!!!!

[alpine geode]

Nothing like stepping out of the drop pod to see a brood spawner, 3 burst turrets, 2 sniper turrets, and 4 septic spreaders looking right at you.

[rose sedge]

as i said, literally dwarf d-day

the normal deev dive is stupidly easy thankfully, not that my teammates know that

on the haunted cave one, i had a wild extract

there were 3 ways to go, follow molly, go through the ghost tunnel, follow driller

engineer found the gigabrained move to simply stay there and get overwhelmed

[alpine geode]

Yeah the haunted cave was the hardest part of this week's deep dive for me, juggling a swarm, hive guard, and the ghost was a toooooon of fun solo 🤪

[rose sedge]

when he continually runs off to the other side of the cave, you have to stop and let him die, simple as

i picked the ghost tunnel, which required 3 minutes of the 4 minutes left, cus it was too steep to jump most of the time

on the way down i had the most coordinated team i ever had though, cleared rooms so fast of minerals and bugs the ghost only got to us on the final layer

[rose sedge]

the hardest part was not being annoyed by having to mine morkite on every single stage

thank god i had dark morkitr on tap to make it more bearable

[alpine geode]

Same here it just happened to be my special by dumb luck when I pushed for DD lol

[patent elk]

That s2 edd is haz 6 and I won't be convinced otherwise

It was def the perfect testing ground to finding out how good or trash my setups were though

[stable bear]

Yea s2 had a dread and a nemesis, fun times

[patent elk]

At least they got nerfed to hell. Imagine that stage with pre-nerfed stingtails

[tight garnet]

They were tougher?!?

Holy molly

[patent elk]

Harder to break armor, more hp, unlimited tail grabs with almost no cool down, longer grab range.

[tight garnet]

Thanks Charles Darwin for the backward evolution of the Stingtail

[wind thunder]

When it concerns Hoxxes, best not to ask why. 😉

[patent elk]

Just failed 4th try on this edd and it was the closest I got to beating it. Had all the pipelines built, room clear, and just had to get through a swarm that just spawned before doing black box. We agree to start as soon as it's over and we resup cause we're low on ammo and at the same moment we type "yes" the fucking scout starts it without telling anyone and with only him at the black box itself. Of course no was prepared and we all died due to either running out of ammo and being overwhelmed. Like ffs man it's just not in the cards to beat this edd it seems.

[wind thunder]

Poor team coordination.

Not really your fault, not meaning it's against your destiny.

You just need to find people whom you can trust.

[shadow temple]

Yea, I did the EDD a 2nd time cuz a group of 3 folks I was doing normal missions with really wanted to do the EDD

So I obliged, told them stage 2 might kill us all....but damn they worked so smoothly

Only the engie was a little....uh...slow when it came to the plan

We had to do the black box in stage 3 without him cuz even tho I mentioned to run straight from the drop pod to start the black box as soon as we spawn on, he kinda just went off to mine aquarqs instead

Then he proceeded to die, but at least he was sincere in that he said that he wasn't reading chat and apologised

[pseudo plover]

This week's EDD feels way too hard.

[verbal echo]

Another description for this week's EDD: "How bad could it possibly be? They'll show you."

Got into s2, team wiped by the very first wave.

[raven carbon]

Someone, ideally driller, has to drill under immediately and get to the controller

Gets a little manageable after the turrets are disabled

[shadow temple]

I remembered my plan for S2 with the group was "Ok I plant a shield, we immediately snipe the sniper turrets as soon as we land in the stage"

Also works :3c

[balmy marsh]

I am lookin for people with 3090. Just need some advice whether to get 3090 or 3080ti.

[vocal ocean]

4070ti

[balmy marsh]

lol

[vocal ocean]

Or even super 4070ti/4080

[balmy marsh]

i am just looking for 3080ti or 3090..since i have a 4090 on my primary system..i am looking cuz my secondary system has pcie3x

[vocal ocean]

Looool pcie gen 3 will not bottlenecked a 4090

[balmy marsh]

what card you got?

[vocal ocean]

3080M 8GB 150W

[balmy marsh]

3080M ...never heard of it..is it laptop?

[vocal ocean]

Yu

Faster than saying 3080 laptop gpu

[balmy marsh]

hmm

i c

[turbid dawn]

3080 is better price for perf

[balmy marsh]

what card you got mate?

[turbid dawn]

i have a 4090 on desk, 1 1070ti lap, 1 3070 lap and 1 3080 lap

[balmy marsh]

lol lap makes the sentence so much funnier

[graceful rock]

As a greenbeard, is the elite deep dive usually this hard? Talking about the 2nd stage

[celest ice]

No

THIS IS HORRIFIC

spitballers and everything galore is just a sadistic joke

[stable bear]

i think the way my squad did it was gunner just spam shielded against the spitballers and took out as many turrets at possible

having shard difractor with t5 heat helps immensely

[stone sable]

how the hell am i supposed to survive stage 2 of the edd

[willow musk]

ROCK AND STONE!

[eager atlas]

With efford and dedication

[quick tangle]

(and the right build)

[wraith shard]

I beat it lads

1 hour almost exactly w randos

rs

[wraith shard]

I dug an T shape bunkie under the damn thing and won via attrition

sniper turrets and spitballers were too intense, made sure to dig it underneath the reuplosrs rays, couldnt hack the controller ril repulsors got killed 3 mins after we dropped, but we still finished w enough nitra for the next stage

also on stage3 make sure to rush the black box

doing a black box later on in aquark missions can be noticably nastier

[quick tangle]

it took me like 1:30 hours

[wraith shard]

59:38

management cooks WORST second stage ever

[wraith shard]

congrats omfg

HARD ass dive

[quick tangle]

it was in solo btw

so it was even more painfull for me

[wraith shard]

owwie, hope the spits/snipers didnt bully u too hard w/o team aggro draw

honestly steeve is god tier on solo

simply cos he draws ur fire some

[quick tangle]

beast master has such a long cooldown though

I'd rather take iron will for effectivly an extra revive

[wraith shard]

eh well, no point in running ironwill/field medic solo is there?

ah

i find it redundant cos the drone gives a lot

having an aggro sink is usually better for my playstyle

[quick tangle]

in fact if I wouldn't have choosen iron will for the elite deep dive I would've lost

[wraith shard]

honestly that stage is crazy

just glad as hell u managed to best brothet

we gotta dab on management fr

[quick tangle]

but yeah field medic (and shield link for that matter) is completly useless in multiplayer

[wraith shard]

ye thats what i said

xd

agreep

[quick tangle]

honestly the first like 5 minutes of the second stage is the hardest

[wraith shard]

100%

youre just flanked

im glad i was driller

itd be a lot harder to find cover otherwise

too many stationary turrets to take at once and if the nem spawns u gotta lure it away

even if younundermine, u have to kill the reuplors

theylly generally hit u underground

[knotty wasp]

mission 2 so intense

[wraith shard]

sticky flames and shard engie are also great if used in tandem on a nemesis

can overheat it pr fast w/o too big an ammo dip

[quick tangle]

I ran hyperprop + incindiary compound engi

[wraith shard]

great for 1shotting patrols and turrets tbh

[quick tangle]

it's also decent against nemesis

[wraith shard]

heat maintain is kinda terrible but a sticky flame user usually still prevents it from going down for you, allowing u to reload and continue increasing heat

my team basically used overdrive booster w heat mod on it

while I walked up and heated it w flames

combined heating worked together and dropped it as it was 90% hp still was amazing my jaw dropped

gunner grenades also work the same as sticky flames

might be worth taking to simply help overheat things if u are that class, even if leadburster is extremely meta

[fast field]

Nope, this is one of the hardest in a long, loooooong time. I got 2000+ hrs and I couldn't solo this one. All the enemy types are stacked (Stingtails, Septics, Spitballers, Spitters, Shellbacks, Bots.. Nemesis & Dread!). But that also makes it the most fun in a long while! Ran it 7 times now (3 wins, 4 losses). The EDD that keeps on givin'!

[quick tangle]

I have only like 200 hours and it took me 2 tries on solo

[leaden cypress]

I don't know what you smoked but this EDD is piss easy

[quick tangle]

have you played the second stage?

[blissful roost]

As an Xbox one player, is there a way to increase my frame rate so that my Xbox doesn’t start struggling every time there’s a wave or a ginormous enemy?

[sullen knoll]

Does anyone play on PS5 and cant join their friends? There is always an issue while joining.

[leaden cypress]

I cleared the EDD in the next hour it came out, so yes

[blissful roost]

Depends. There’s no cross-play which might be the reason why

[leaden cypress]

I don't think it's the issue mentioned here

Rather they probably can't join their PS5 friends

[cunning cedar]

anyone else feel like this weeks edd stage 2 was more difficult that usual?

[safe crag]

last week's EDD was also tough

had to sweat a little bit more to get through stage 2 of this week's EDD though

[whole vector]

damn bro is stage 2 meant to have a never ending hoard

hidden modifier lmao

[upper shadow]

spreaders...

literally i am unluckiest person ever

my first edd

and we were in capsule 44:54

but the takeoff also counts

and time ended up 45:03

3 seconds late

fuck.

but yeah second stage took the most time of them all

[wraith shard]

I am very noobish to deep dives, so for this weeks deep dive is the rewards the exact same? I could’ve swore for stage 2 I got the same exact forge item for driller that I already had.

[cunning cedar]

😭

incredibly unlucky

[blissful roost]

Guys

How do I get roled

[modern stirrup]

idk lol

[leaden cypress]

Read the rules in #welcome-and-rules

[modern stirrup]

ty

[lavish stump]

haiii

[stable bear]

They’re always different, you might have got the same cosmetic item for a different class

[leaden cypress]

Stage 2 gives you an overclock, not a cosmetic item

I'm fairly sure they got an OC with a similar symbol as the one they got before

[stable bear]

Ahh thought they were referring to s2

S3****

[wraith shard]

Nah it’s like for the cryo cannon, for the driller, that I’ve already had

[leaden cypress]

Pretty sure you got 2 different OCs

[stable bear]

I think cryo has 6-7 oc’s, again must be different.

https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/Weapon_Overclocks#Driller's_Weapons_Overclocks

[stable bear]

Check your forge, compare em to the list

Never heard of someone getting a duplicate unless something crashed/lost connection (while forging or in a machine event)and in that case they never would have received it in the first

[vernal bobcat]

Maybe they finally unlocked dual cryo cannons instead of dual flamethrowers

Good things come to those who wait

[upper badger]

sorry for posting in the wrong chat. this is literally the only one i can access other than speed running. how do i get access to post in profile sharing and drg chat?

[stable bear]

claim some roles in #welcome-and-rules

[upper badger]

oh i looked there, didnt see it. thankyou though

got it. thanks disco

[shy mesa]

.

[uneven sand]

is it just me or is the EDD second stage ridiculously hard at the beginning?

[leaden cypress]

It's not really uncommon for eggs & OSR missions

As there is a single main, large room so most of the enemies that spawn with cave gen appear there

[uneven sand]

yeah fair

[vernal bobcat]

Not just you

[blissful roost]

Guys

Is there a way to increase my frame rate when I’m playing on Xbox One?

I just got my first crash

[old widget]

Grab a role in #welcome-and-rules so you can talk in other channels (this one is for deep dive endgame discussion), then go ask in #xbox-and-windows-store - you will probably find more folks there who can help. Good luck

[blissful roost]

Ok, thanks

[tight garnet]

Ladies and gentlemen

After 10th failed attempt at the EDD

I have the immense pleasure to announce that, with a team of wonderful randos, we successfully beaten the missions

Without even me crying

[vocal ocean]

It do be like that

[tight garnet]

I mean it's not like I can be any worst

Right

[graceful rock]

also managed to finish it with randoms on my 7th try I think with 60 hours play time

but gotta admit it was hard af and some that played with us was godlike

[celest ice]

The EDD is absolutely brutal, second stage is horrific

[jagged rapids]

Lol I am 0 for 2 on that dive and it's been S2 both times so far. It just starts with chaos and a breeder and keeps going

Ngl tho, I'm loving the chaos

But I also do like winning... So hopefully today is the day

[fluid aurora]

it's a fucked up day when rival presence isn't the worst thing on a stage

[sour star]

looking for people to do dive 2 with

ive had really bad luck. Made it past 2nd part but black screened and couldn't rejoin. 2nd attempt we got nemesis camped in the pod. 3rd I had a power flash and lost internet. Could rejoin that time either

feel free to @ me I can play any role

[leaden cypress]

Regular or elite ?

[fluid aurora]

probably 2 because nemesis

[covert rampart]

My friends and I couldn’t do it. It was too much

[celest ice]

You just get executed by firing squad in the beginning of stage 2

Its a goddamn war crime

[fluid aurora]

theres always another week brother

[minor patio]

wtf is this weeks elite deep dive second map

you shouldnt need 4x gunners with shields

Sticky flames does jack shit on stage two lol

[hushed sequoia]

you don't need 4 gunners and shields

ideally driller will go right to the turret controller, hack it, then clear the rest of the stuff out

[minor patio]

I thought I was 9,000 IQ digging under the turret controller

[hushed sequoia]

some of the repulsion turrets need to be killed first

[old widget]

we actually did fine on the initial push

[minor patio]

Yeah we got lucky and there were no repulsors, just burst turrets

[old widget]

nemmy got us right before the swarm hit and we had no nitra

[minor patio]

if it was repulsor it would've knocked me off of the hack

[hushed sequoia]

i was playing with randoms and we had all 3 pipelines set up and got through the first swarm but then they started blackbox during the second

and then everyone iron willed at the same time

[old widget]

heh

we actually did BB right after stabilizing, it was kinda scary but it worked

[hushed sequoia]

despite not actually failing the blackbox if it fails

[remote sage]

You know I just got the game after watching a few videos and I’m lovin it already

[old widget]

yay, we did it. somehow no nemmy this time

[wraith shard]

Dang, a lot of people are really struggling on stage 2 huh? My friends and I got lucky, we just managed to pull through

Well, if anyone wants some help through the EDD, I'm always up for helping carry a lobby through it, just ping me

[quiet wyvern]

Yea my friend struggled on it too, my first time through I beat it tho

[charred radish]

I gave up

[grand pasture]

Want a helping hand through it?

[charred radish]

I appreciate, but no, im already bored of the stage one

That's my problem with deep dives, zero replayability

Really tho, thanks

[grand pasture]

No worries

[rocky inlet]

haw thanks !

[quick tangle]

I agree, I wish they just removed the weekly thing on deep dives and made you get all the rewards at the end

[prime coral]

I am done with this week's dive

holy shit

5 attempts and all ended in failure by stage 2

[stone sable]

just failed the edd after 60 minutes at the stage 3 black box

[craggy citrus]

me and my friends just unlocked deep dives, took us 28 tries to get past stage 2 in the elite version, and did stage 1 and 3 first try :(

[leaden cypress]

what the hell

[old widget]

now that's resilience
good thing that first stage was quick, I imagine you were hitting the button on molly before the first swarm by try #28 on stage 1

[minor patio]

[pulsar fractal]

The 2nd stage of the elite deep dive was insane we had to dig tunnels and trench’s just to clear out all the rival tech and the first few waves

[vagrant shale]

Also had a really bad set of 5-6 attempts on EDD Stage #2
after the first attempt, on all others I warned people and tried to strategize, but people didn't really want to follow up
Finally loaded in with a stellar driller that said "I will bunker stage 2" and since I was Gunner, I was able to fully cover them. It was such a smooth and peaceful drop. It was splendid lol

For those wanting to use the strat:

• make sure you resup right before going to stage 2
• gunner drops shield at end of ramp. take out any repulsion turrets near controller. driller drills straight into the ground, c4's an open cavern underneath
• team covers the tunnel for driller, driller drills to hack the turret control, shield the driller if needed
• driller then drills to a place that has good cover from spitballers + breeders + swarmer spawners to take them out, proceed as normal

[pulsar fractal]

This is what I did to get past stage 2 though you absolutely need the gunner because ours disconnected so we died on rotation for like 15 minutes and heavily relied on the tunnels

The black box for stage 2 is also difficult if you don’t have crowd control or resupply pods

[vagrant shale]

That's so rough

Yeah, I had neurotoxin payload and the driller had sticky flames

we were kiting mfers

[leaden cypress]

NTP should carry the whole EDD alone tho

[pulsar fractal]

Fr took us like 45 minutes to barely get to stage 3 alive 😭

I had 22 revives and I forgot what the others had

[long minnow]

Thanks

Hello Chat

[dense pebble]

man

tried to carry a greenbeard lobby on EDD

other 3 are down, I insta-res one and go for the next

and get friendly fired from full health by the guy I rezzed

.<

[silent prism]

Was he a driller or gunner?

[dense pebble]

gunner.

cluster nade into a tunnel, with me in it.

[silent prism]

bruh

[dense pebble]

shoulda known when they called in a second resupply stage one, instead of using the available one I dropped 3 seconds earlier

[pulsar fractal]

green bread carry for the current deep dive is impossible unless it’s somebody you know

[wraith shard]

why can i not chat in the general chat

[burnt sandal]

read #welcome-and-rules

[grand pasture]

Need a hand?

[dense pebble]

Second time’s a charm.

That was remarkably difficult, especially given the disruptive bug selectiom was actually not too bad

Stage 3 black box point extraction has gotta be the most difficult mission combo. Fortunately I knew that going in and my team did it quickly

[long minnow]

Anyone free to do a Deep Dive Elite with me?

[lucid karma]

when do deep dives reset?

[eager atlas]

thursday 11 utc, check pinned for time in your timezone

[sharp crag]

can you get the matrix core rewards more than once per deep dive?

[prime coral]

No

[eager atlas]

you get a set with the normal and another set with the elite

[sharp crag]

Thanks, the matrix core workbench wording was a little ambiguous. I figured as much.

[safe crag]

I could've sworn I had read somewhere you could keep redoing it because the stage 3 cosmetic wasn't limited once per week

"oh that makes sense, they can't give out more blank cores or OCs so they'd just leave the cosmetic OC at the very least as a little reward"

a fool. I was A FOOL for believing that

[shadow temple]

EDD but it's endless and keeps adding 0.5 to haz difficulty after every stage (1 cosmetic core per stage) 💀

[eager atlas]

I'd be down for that

[rotund orbit]

do turrets not refill between stages now?

when did this get patched

[eager atlas]

november

[rotund orbit]

was it a bug this entire time?

[eager atlas]

yes, it was a bug and they fixed it

[rotund orbit]

did they just not bother to fix it for years?

[eager atlas]

correct

[rotund orbit]

bruh

[eager atlas]

just like how beers are given twice the effect

[rotund orbit]

that also got patched?

[eager atlas]

no, that's not patched, but it's another example of a bug that's been here for years

[safe crag]

how about this bug that's been in the game for years

[stuck pulsar]

how can u easily do the liquid refinery in th edd?

if u do it solo its so tough

[vernal bobcat]

Have a somewhat coordinated team and pray a nemesis doesn’t spawn on top of the refining rig

[safe crag]

try the "driller immediately tunnels" strategy

this strategy involves your driller immediately tunneling

results may vary

1 driller + 3 engis could be funny

[eager atlas]

arachnids aren't bugs!!!!

[spiral badge]

Hell Dive

[eager atlas]

solo has less bugs, so in a way it's easier, bosco also has guaranteed revives, but the backbox position is kinda bad

all classes can probably do the blackbox easily in their own way, I feel like driller is the one that might struggle the most unless you make an underbunker or something like that

gunner has shield, engineer can build a small fortress and has the turrets and grenades to help, and scout can spam pheromones til the end of time

[stuck pulsar]

even if i get past the black box i might get screwed for the refining process

[eager atlas]

Not sure what to tell you, the refining is usually easier, the bugs also get distracted with the broken pipes, also reminder that bosco can repair and build pipes

the less time you spend the less things can go wrong

[grand pasture]

If anyone needs a carry, I'm here

[tame verge]

remember kids you can actually fail the black box and try again, so if a bulk comes or you NEED to pull out to survive you should do it

[jolly wing]

Dont need to.

Mission control is so cute when he's angry 🥰, fellas let's go mass ping the mushroom

Is this EDD harder than average

[vernal bobcat]

stage 2 is

[lost valve]

The only other EDD I've experienced was last week's

[vernal bobcat]

the others are quite fine

[lost valve]

Completed it (last week's)

[lost valve]

I see

[lost valve]

The rooms I've been into dies on that yeah, lol

I kinda want to skip it, I've got classes tomorrow and I'm running out of time

I'm not really that good at the game yet to feel bad about just skipping this EDD (at least I've got the blank core)

[vernal bobcat]

Man, I did and failed this EDD twice today in pubs

Both times what killed us was one absolutely lobotomized teammate starting black box at the worst possible time

[grand pasture]

Want a carry?

[lost valve]

I have to sleep now

And can't play again until the thing just resets to new

[grand pasture]

No worries

Nope, died on the black box 💀

There's like 0 nitra in that level lmao

there's 2 veins in the same cave as the black box, iirc

[burnt sandal]

yeah, read #welcome-and-rules and pick roles

[clever maple]

damn bro, i missed that lil thing

sry and ty bro

[solar skiff]

would anyone like to help me with the EDD

im scared of elite threat

[eager atlas]

that's the wrong thing to be scared off 🙃

[solar skiff]

oh boy rival presence too

yippee

[scenic wyvern]

driller’s flamethrower should do the trick

[solar skiff]

i am very much not someone that knows how to play driller

[leaden cypress]

Simple

FSD + 5s stickies + T2B or FSD + 8s stickies

[solar skiff]

i dont have a promotion for him to do an EDD with him anyways

[eager atlas]

just use what you're comfortable with

[solar skiff]

jet fuel homebrew it is

i cant decide whether i want iron will or dash

dash has saved my life many times but iron will has the potential to save everyones lives

[leaden cypress]

why not both

[solar skiff]

because im a gunnah medic

i dont think ive ever taken off my quick revive perk

[glacial mesa]

What do you guys think about the beast master perk?

[random rampart]

wrong chat, go to #drg-chat

read #welcome-and-rules and get roles 1st tho

[glacial mesa]

Yeah but this applys to deep dives

[random rampart]

the latter still applies :)

[glacial mesa]

Also where do you gain permission to chat in other channels?

I have read welcome and I can’t see it

[solar skiff]

11 revives in one EDD, yeah i think im keepin that LOL

the most anyone else had was 3 haha

i am the healer class

[dense pebble]

You gotta pick roles

[eager atlas]

If it's a choice, dash is better imo, you can always get mileage out of dash, but iron will won't always be used

[safe crag]

IW is a requirement for higher difficulties

[solar skiff]

yeah IW was the right choice there, i ressed myself and 2 other teammates onto a resup pod while driller was in drop pod as insurance

[dense pebble]

Dash, Field Medic and IW when in a team

Pick 2

[eager atlas]

it is not a requirement, in fact, the better player you are the less you need it, strictly speaking

IW is corrective while dash is preventive

[solar skiff]

dwarf nod

which is why i took IW (im only rank like 35 or so)

[patent salmon]

i'd take smth other than IW if everything else wasn't so mid

[eager atlas]

yeah the perk balance isn't the best

at least beast master is fun

[last halo]

edd stage 2 is so hard holy

such an unlucky spawn, rival presence, nemesis, rockpox swarms, and a liquid morkite thing on top of mount everest

[rancid cedar]

lol no

not even dash is a “requirement” higher difficulties and it’s the most broken perk in the game

It all depends on ur skill level and comfort

[rancid cedar]

dash is a lot better then IW. FM is also on par if not better then IW in a lot of situations (mainly your not the going down often and spend most of ur time reviving teammates). The other actives aren’t amazing but i use them a lot for fun.

[patent salmon]

dash is already on everyone except scout, and FM is ight but i only take on scout cuz no dash.

[quick tangle]

dash is great on scout too

[patent salmon]

it would be if i didn't use t4b on the grapple hook

[safe crag]

I'm impressed no one mentioned field medic in favor of IW

[leaden cypress]

#deep-dive-discussion message Yeah i think you've some issues with reading messages

[safe crag]

ah FM is field medic

[quick tangle]

I oftenly get anxeity from not having iron will because I'm afraid my teammates will somehow screw up

[dense pebble]

I had a driller hack the turrets on my run. Easily doable if you kill the sniper turrets from inside the pod

Just have him ready beforehand and ping the controller for him

[eager atlas]

as long as you don't screw up it's all good :D

[ancient grove]

oooh, this week's EDD looks fun

low gravity

[drifting tinsel]

i absolutely adore azure weald and i am SO GLAD we get two azure weald EDDs back to back <3

[hearty geyser]

Escort duty

[deep torrent]

Rock and stone

[fathom coral]

Sweet.

[nova hearth]

Stone!

[red zephyr]

Rock!

[safe crag]

odd, I could've sworn the jagged bugbasher was leaving on the 21st

[grand wagon]

did anyone else had a dreadnaught spawn in elite deepdive?

like a random spawn

[shadow temple]

Nope, but I did get a bulk in the first spawn during Stage 2

[grand wagon]

oh sick

[shadow temple]

Aight EDD soloed...imo I don't think there's anything really noteworthy to say

But it's nice to have a change of pace in EDD, I find this one quite normal

Just remember stage 2 has cave leech cluster....and that's really about it

[drifting tinsel]

this is always a possibility in any deep dive stage with a primary objective that has MC-announced swarms (mining, refineryx and point extraction). it's very rare, just like in regular missions, but the mission being in a deep dive doesn't eliminate random dread spawns

if you read through the feedback to last week's EDD, there were quite a handful of people that said they had a hiveguard spawn during the refinery stage

[grand wagon]

we've had those twins during the refinery

[fathom coral]

Just had a Bulk spawn EDD lvl 3, other than that it was straightforward this week .

[red zephyr]

Just did EDD I was told it was a normal deep dive I look at the Menu its a EDD so uh

yea pretty cool got downed over 26 times

half of it was to cave leaches

half of it was to the dreadnaughts

the other half*

still no Ai stability or Special powder

[ivory marten]

YO-

THAT WAS AWESOME.

[lost valve]

This is the third EDD I've played

It's actually playable compared to Awful Impact

[quick tangle]

how bad is this weeks edd?

[half delta]

it's interesting for once

[half delta]

We had twins spawn randomly and several bulks at stage 3.

[blazing silo]

can we do better single target damage as soldier better than engineer at all?

[leaden cypress]

Soldier isn't a class

[sonic wing]

The dd looks worse than the edd mission type wise

[leaden cypress]

And yes, that's definitely doable

[sonic wing]

I will get around to atleast the dd on monday

[blazing silo]

On make it Gunner

[leaden cypress]

I absolutely understood that (i didn't)

[blazing silo]

can we do better single target damage as gunnerbetter than engineer at all?*

[leaden cypress]

your answer

[blazing silo]

How?

[patent elk]

Depends, for burst dmg either coil gun with the mole and several layers passing through, or full dmg bulldog with volatile bullets on a burning target.

[blazing silo]

any suggession for build overall?

[bitter stump]

233(1/2)1 bulldog using volitile bullets
12213 Coilgun using mole (not max damage, keeping partial charge shots so it can fear spam)

[fathom coral]

Not really directed at your thing, but if you wanna have fun and bend over the Dreads and with a team that knows how to proc right, you can use Engi PGL with Rocket Propellant OC build with a Driller using Cryo and use the PGL once they're frozen, you'll wipe them quick.

[bitter stump]

Note that volatile bullets only work well on things you can ignite, and prioritize hitting weakpoints

[wraith shard]

hi

[signal dagger]

Hello

[scenic wyvern]

c4, boom boom scout, call that the day and have a nice cold beer (safe for work, literally)

[spiral badge]

No dwarf left behind (except for scouts)

They got a magical “teleport me here” rope, they can get their own butt to the pod, or not I don’t care

[icy kiln]

compared to the last week, i really struggled to find much nitra on this week's edd. like ammo was barely enough for me and the others. (full team) for players that didnt complete edd this week, i advise you to be ammo efficient.
for anything else, rock and stone!

[leaden cypress]

what

there's a fuckton of nitra on stage 1

[ornate verge]

hello

[leaden cypress]

You can start stage 2 with 3 resupplies

[leaden cypress]

hello

[ornate verge]

were can i write, if i have a question?

[leaden cypress]

You should read #welcome-and-rules first to assign yourself a role

so you can unlock more channels

Now that you're here pounce

did you know the chats associated with vocal channels aren't allowed to anyone ?

Somehow we don't have the permissions to write in there

[burnt sandal]

Good.

[leaden cypress]

why good

Did people troll in there ?

[burnt sandal]

Because we don't have to moderate an extra 50+ channels

[ornate verge]

thanks

[burnt sandal]

No, because we never allowed them to. They definitely would if those were open though.

[leaden cypress]

What a shame

[burnt sandal]

Not really, it serves no purpose.

[icy kiln]

we are talking about the elite dd, right?

[upper shadow]

imo dd was like 3x harder than edd

so much less nitra, almost constant enemies (bruh macteras on drilldozer without stop), shitty terrain

edd was chill through every stage

you get like 360 nitra first stage and the rest are easy as hell

maybe because i got twins x2 and dreadnought (fuck hiveguard)

[leaden cypress]

correct

[leaden cypress]

the dread spawns are fixed

[stable bear]

oh boy new DD's

anyone done them yet? how are they

[icy kiln]

well, idk man i struggled. maybe because other 3 used too much ammo inefficient but i definitely used my ammo in an efficient way

[leaden cypress]

stage 1 has enough for at least 4 resupplies on both DD & EDD

Unless host was running 7x2 idk how you managed to be low on nitra

[woeful anchor]

Hey

[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

[woeful anchor]

Thank you

[icy kiln]

[junior coral]

[tiny dagger]

[lucid karma]

<@&296918282403840000>

[tiny dagger]

wtf

[stable bear]

[tiny dagger]

[cinder citrus]

Idk most of the mods have notifications off

[tiny dagger]

mind deleting your messages

on the way

thanks

[rose chasm]

god dammit I didn't get to see the whole thing

[cinder citrus]

Wasn't much

[rose chasm]

what happened here

[tiny dagger]

he just called people a couple of potty language

that's it

[rose chasm]

boring

[junior coral]

he wasnt very creative

[grand pasture]

Was it anything like transphobic?

[junior coral]

nah just racist

[cinder citrus]

Nope

[grand pasture]

No transphobia :)

[junior coral]

Anyways

what is the damage this week

i need details and i dont wanna go to reddit

[upper shadow]

what damage are you taking about?

[junior coral]

what is dd this week

fine ill go to reddit

[cinder citrus]

Check the pinned messages

It's not super detailed but it'll give you most of the information you need

[upper shadow]

overall imo dd is harder than edd which should be otherwise but rng moment

[jagged rapids]

Every deep dive reset, there a new pinned message here as Marcy said above.

If you're asking about how it actually ends up going for folks, checking comments here and Reddit isn't a bad idea

Tho I've kinda stopped using the subreddit, went well in on discord

[leaden cypress]

You can remove "and reddit" from your sentence

[jagged rapids]

I do miss the memes tho ngl

[charred radish]

Wasn't there a message with a resume of the dives?

[leaden cypress]

it's pinned

I cleared the DD with over 400 nitra

truly a deep dive moment

[jagged rapids]

Lol tbh I added and removed it a few times but I know it was helpful for me in my first six months

[jagged rapids]

OMG there was an EDD like 3 weeks ago where I had this. We had like 1k nitra somehow

It was GLORIOUS

Ran that dive like 3 times just because

[leaden cypress]

I think i cleared this one with a bit over 300 ?

Some DDs have insane nitra counts

What's worse is the amount of nitra was reduced by 15% a while ago

[jagged rapids]

Sounds like this week is pretty mellow? Ngl I was kind of enjoying the challenge the last couple weeks but I do enjoy a nice chill

I usually lean on the DD for chill and EDD for madness

[safe crag]

certainly looks like it
