[rapid basin]

Hey guys, what should driller bring or build in EDD ?

[pure cliff]

there is 2 elimination levels, and I like to run a support role for elimination as driller so I would run cryo cannon

[foggy sapphire]

this weeks DD feels too easy

[night talon]

What is the average amount of exp for a typical dive run?

[tall slate]

Hey, first time messaging on here! Wondering if there was anyone that would be willing to help me with this weeks Elite Deep Dive. It's kicking my butt.

[quick tangle]

157s0 apparently

[quick tangle]

but seriously it's about 1500 for a regular dd and about 2000 for an edd

[rancid cedar]

try #lfg-steam #steam-profile-sharing

[simple sedge]

So is deep rock galactic roguecore basically going to be deep rock survivor but multi-player?

[pure cliff]

maybe, go to #rogue-core-chat pin comments for more specific info

[simple sedge]

K thanks

[hexed wagon]

The fucking anxiety of being on an expressway in winter weather and passing a shoddy truck carrying canisters of liquid oxygen

like i saw the "flammable" sticker on the back and didnt think much of it but when we actually passed it my eyes nearly popped out of my head

[stable bear]

There’s winter in deep dives? 🧐

[night talon]

Damn, just 1500? Thx yall

[leaden cypress]

It's between 15K and 30K

[weary wedge]

I'm really excited for Rogue Core, but i'm like very not interested in Drg Survivor...

[random rampart]

#rogue-core-chat is your place then :)

[leaden cypress]

You should talk about that in either #rogue-core-chat or #drg-chat

[random rampart]

Get 🐌ed

[leaden cypress]

I was going into a 🤓 momento to add more information to what you said

[sullen nymph]

Guys i have a problem i switched from ps4 to ps5 however i lost all progress...

Any way to fix this issue?

[random rampart]

Ask in #playstation or in #bug-discussion

[unreal slate]

what is the hotkey on PC for getting supply drop?

need it FAST

[exotic belfry]

I think the default is 5

[supple sparrow]

I feel like the dwarves would drive lifted F150's

[scenic jetty]

All black box DD ? huh . .

[errant field]

Holy shit man

So many bad players out there I can't get edd done

[cinder citrus]

You can always rely on Bosco

[buoyant crescent]

What timezone does all the dives take place in

Whenever I'm playing there's like 4 lobbies and 3-4 of them are started

[knotty hatch]

I might be misunderstanding the question, but it's just whenever someone decides to host one. They launch the mission, wait for people to join, and get going. I don't think they're set to start at specific times?

[raven carbon]

Increase your area of search

Set it to world you'll see plenty

[buoyant crescent]

I do, I set it on World every time

It's always 3-4, 6 max

Same with EDDs, Theres a good 10-12 but most of them are filled/started

[buoyant crescent]

Nah, I meant like when do people usually dive

[raven carbon]

I don't have any numbers to back this up but I think the largest player base of drg is in North America, particularly the US.

So evening or night by those timezones usually has the maximum number of lobbies available.

[buoyant crescent]

Ah, perfect. Guess I'll have to start diving at 4am

[raven carbon]

There are a lot of Chinese lobbies too but sometimes if they don't speak English then communication becomes an issue

[buoyant crescent]

I'm in asia so I do get a lot of Chinese lobbies too, but again, they're usually filled/started

I've done a deep dive with people a full 6 times and I've never done an EDD because of this

[raven carbon]

You could also try your luck on weekend mornings by North American timezones

Most players do the Thursday refresh dives on the weekend

[buoyant crescent]

Saturday morning for American is... Late saturday nights/very early Sunday mornings for me.

Guess I'll try that later today

[raven carbon]

European lobbies are another option

Fewer than American ones but they are there and the timezone may be more convenient for you

Most of them usually speak English too

[cinder hill]

Who needs comms when you have Ctrl?

[raven carbon]

Works for missions but sometimes EDDs need a bit more communication

Not saying it's impossible, I have done EDDs in teams where I didn't speak their language but it's better to have the option

[cinder hill]

When your teammate blasts mao Zedong in the microphone you can only jam.

[dry cave]

I'm in Europe, I usually host my games as I mostly play with a buddy or two, always open lobby. Even if solo, DD and EDD lobbies fill up very fast pretty much any time of the day. Also noticed it's a lot harder to find and join a lobby instead of just hosting one.

[cinder hill]

Second/third loading screen goes hard.

[dry cave]

?

[cinder hill]

https://youtu.be/PQOzDxmzT40?si=ylyR-P5--L424tmy

[dry cave]

Umm, okay. This is related to my post how?

[cinder hill]

It is not.

You usually solo dd anyway.

[dry cave]

Right. After the 100 solo mission achievement, I think I'll never solo anything again.

[cinder hill]

I am sorry for your mental issues.

[terse wind]

DD is heavy on the black boxes this week

not that you really need to, it's just a DD, but it's good repellant platform practice

[cinder hill]

𝙳𝙳 𝚒𝚜 𝚜𝚘 𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚢

[chilly shore]

randoweisser duo EDD is pretty funny
almost cleared it but i threw in third stage, we had no iw

first stage had a funny moment where we were out of nitra but i cleared a swarm with berzerker

buddy killed a hiveguard and nemesis with See You In Hell and several acid spitters with rippers, good fun

[cinder hill]

Wow, See You in Hell actually being a useful perk?

[rapid basin]

Hey guys, is Minelayer System OC good in EDD ?

[fallow niche]

it's good always but there are slightly stronger things to use when theres a bunch of dreads

[leaden cypress]

Such as picking minelayer with a good ST secondary

[candid siren]

is this the game where they have my name as a character ?

[grand pasture]

Yes

You're a giant sentient drill robot

[candid siren]

LOL 😭

I want to try the game just because of that

[twilit ingot]

do it, its a blast

[candid siren]

my friends searched my name up and deep rock galactic popped up

[grand pasture]

"You heard the man, stay with Doretta and guard her like she's yer mum!"

[candid siren]

this is cute

no doretta’s have joined asking the same thing?

[grand pasture]

"Management may consider Doretta as expendable, but we don't!"

[candid siren]

I agree 🫡

i’m sorry if my chat here isn’t on topic I couldn’t type in any other chat

[grand pasture]

Yeah just get yourself a role in #welcome-and-rules

[candid siren]

oh okay bet

[wraith shard]

i sure do love the black box objective !

[cinder hill]

you are the first i have ever seen do something like this in any game ever.

awesomeeeee

[chrome remnant]

Mine the 🪨

[lost valve]

Haunted should be banned on EDD lmao

[grand pasture]

Naw

[patent elk]

Nah

[lost valve]

Lost 3rd stage due to lack of nitra and someone popping first egg too early

I think I'll pass on this week's cosmetic core

[rancid cedar]

why would it be banned on edd?

it’s not banned on haz 5

[eager atlas]

haunted is banned from salvage and escort, that's all devs consider to be unfair

[jaunty forum]

Is there any cave leeches on this week DD?

Ima try the 45 minute achievement solo

[pure cliff]

no but elite threat and exploder infestation tho

[jaunty forum]

Exploder is easy with gamesense

Elite might be annoying

[pure cliff]

is also 3 black boxes, if you want the achievement I would honestly sit this one out

[jaunty forum]

13 minutes on stage 1

Molly is really slow

[lost valve]

Well, that's on the player to play it on Haz 5 despite the warning

I wasn't really completely serious about my statement anyway, I still got it

[trail pagoda]

Do you guys think the corrosive sludge pump or the flamethrower is better for longevity in deep dives?

[eager atlas]

hmmm, I think the flamethrower can be more efficient ammo wise

[pure cliff]

flamethrower yeah

[eager atlas]

but the sludge can get things killed much faster if that's a concern

[pure cliff]

with sticky flames

you can be very ammo conservative

[lost valve]

Maybe it can work on Escort if drilldozer doesn't take damage from it?

[eager atlas]

maybe, but would still be a bit painful

[lost valve]

While it only chases players

[eager atlas]

would need someone to be distracting it at all times during the final section

[lost valve]

There's a way to aggro away without the use of Scout's taunt grenade?

Dreads and horrors always seem like they just periodically change target

[eager atlas]

it is time and distance I believe

[lost valve]

So the current target just has to be reaaally far from any other possible targets to sustain it indefinitely?

[eager atlas]

I think it can target someone far, but from what I've seen, it tends to go back to the near person, so if you're far enough is not much of an issue

[trail pagoda]

Cool

And what secondary would you pair with it?

[eager atlas]

No, "cool" is the cryo cannon

[trail pagoda]

😭

[eager atlas]

EPC is really strong, particularly if you can use thin containment field effectively

subata explosive reload is something I like a lot

never really used the cooker with the flamethrower much

[jaunty forum]

25 minutes stage 2

[rancid cedar]

temp shock chaining with flamer is quite good

[trail pagoda]

I can never get thin containment field to explode

[jaunty forum]

There was a nemesis and nobody told me

[rancid cedar]

it takes some practice

[fathom coral]

EPC is king for me, then the Cooker as a 2nd, especially for pesky long targets like the web spitters and what not, i recently finished weapon mastery exp for the Subata, and i still hate it, lmao

[trail pagoda]

I love the subata with tranq rounds

[trail pagoda]

Right

[random rampart]

if its to shoot minerals, try to shoot the bigger orb parallel to the vein, it'll get you a better perspective of when to pop it. if its to shoot enemies, well... try to do something close to what i said to the best of your abilities lol

[trail pagoda]

OH

SO IT ONLY WORKS WITH MINERALS?

I'm stupid

[fathom coral]

nothing like popping eggs on the ceiling with a well-timed EPC blast

[random rampart]

no, it doesnt.

it works with enemies too lol

hence why i said to do something close to what i told you if youre shooting enemies lol

[trail pagoda]

Nono

I meant like you cant just explode normal terrain?

[burnt sage]

y9o

[rancid cedar]

you can

[keen yarrow]

you can

[burnt sage]

how do i type in the chats

[random rampart]

you can

[random rampart]

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

[keen yarrow]

This weeks elite was rough

[burnt sage]

thanks

[fathom coral]

wasn't that bad tbh

Menace were just more annoying

[jaunty forum]

42:19

[pure cliff]

by a kitten's whisker!

[lethal shadow]

is there guaranteed detonator spawn during black box?

it's happened 4 times in a row

even when we restart the black box

we get another one

[eager atlas]

rng is one hell of a drug

no, it's not guaranteed

[grand pasture]

Yeesh, would not wanna be in your lobbies

[rancid cedar]

if det is in the spawn pool of a stage, it will always have a chance of spawning. Never guranteed tho iirc

[lethal shadow]

https://i.imgflip.com/4u8tgt.jpg

It didnt spawn this time

🤝 Regarding project collaboration, who should I contact for coordination?

[quick tangle]

what are you talking about?

[cerulean dove]

i need help 😦

the elite one is too hard for me

[grand pasture]

Where you live region-wise?

[cerulean dove]

europe

eastern

[grand pasture]

I'm UK-based, if you want I can help carry you though it?

[cerulean dove]

if you are anywhere in europe, like gb nd ge or anything we will have around 50 60 ping

i can pull my weight but the elite dive is a bit overwhelming for me

i managed to solo the normal dive

[tiny marten]

better have something to look forward to

[cerulean dove]

yeah for sure

[tiny marten]

else what's the fun in it if you can just walk through all the content

[cerulean dove]

i dont have the right ocs either way

or the beet ones

[tiny marten]

ive been told it's doable without OCs and it is, but why not try with some friends? reliefe some solo pressure

talk with someone yk

[cerulean dove]

i dont have friends

[grand pasture]

I'm more than willing to help out

[cerulean dove]

thanks mate

i started the run

[tiny marten]

gl hf

[cerulean dove]

no like

i launched the mission, waiting for him to join

but thanks

first mission is morkite elimination

but the layout is ass

[grand pasture]

Can you send an invite?

[cerulean dove]

i have to add you on psn

whats your user?

[grand pasture]

Oh you're on PSN? Sorry, I play on steam

[tiny marten]

🤦‍♂️

[cerulean dove]

yeah

[tiny marten]

and i was like

[cerulean dove]

i didnt mention psn here

only in general and lfg sorry

[grand pasture]

No worries

[tiny marten]

this g gorgeous freeman plays so fast from what ive seen and he plays on psn too

[cerulean dove]

no worries

[grand pasture]

?

[tiny marten]

i saw a video you posted and you were moving the camera around so fast, but i also saw ramstab was psn so i was like, does gorg free play so fast on psn?

[cerulean dove]

what engi loadout can you recommend for this weeks elite dive? i tried seeker rounds loki/no oc breach cutter

[grand pasture]

OIhhh hahaha

[grand pasture]

Well everyone's got preferences of course and comfortability is always important but personally I'd probably run EMR Stubby/RJ250 PGL or spinning death breach cutter

[cerulean dove]

i have both of those ocs hmm

but i dont really play with stubby or the pgl

[grand pasture]

Fair enough

What about cycle overload on the warthog?

[cerulean dove]

yep i do have that

[grand pasture]

<@&296918282403840000>

[cerulean dove]

i can use magnetic pellets or the faster reload one too

[grand pasture]

For it I personally run 12222

[cerulean dove]

the light weight magazine

[grand pasture]

You can switch around with mag size/fire rate, or any of the tier-2s

And maybe switch full auto for turret whip if you like it

[sonic wing]

Lwm is alright bit more ammo and a clean its what was using before mpa

[grand pasture]

Yeah, LWM improving something already good on the Warthog (reloading) is amazing, you're basically firing constantly

[cerulean dove]

i managed to best the normal dive solo with lwm and a clean oc on the shard diffractor

[grand pasture]

1.1 second reload with a quick animation cancel is not to be disregarded

[sonic wing]

The ammo clean on shard is also great

[cerulean dove]

efficiency tweaks it was

and perks? passive and active?

[grand pasture]

For my shard, I usually run feedback loop with 22122

[cerulean dove]

sounds good

[grand pasture]

My go-to for me is always elemental insulation, strong arm and resupplier

But no elemental insulation for driller, I use vampire for him instead, cause of the drills and throwing axes

[cerulean dove]

it sounds good, but strong arm wont be much useful for this dive

especially with bosco

i usually take sweet tooth

[sonic wing]

Unstoppable is a slept on passive

Reduces slasher stun

[tiny marten]

stun as in slow?

[sonic wing]

Ye

[grand pasture]

I just like it for that extra throw range and throwing flares at the ceiling as well as across whole caves is amazing

I find it much better than having Bosco go to walls and pinging repeatedly forever

[tiny marten]

this without scout is good sometimes

[sonic wing]

I mean i guess you can use dash to cancel out slasher slow but unstoppable is still neat on goo and snow

Although i guess on hollow neither of those are large concerns

[grand pasture]

Unstoppable works on slahsers? I thought it was only environmental?

[sonic wing]

Supposedly

[grand pasture]

Maybe someone should test, I'll see

[sonic wing]

Feel like its a little known fact

[grand pasture]

It infact does seem to actually yeah

[cerulean dove]

i didnt know that works on flares, thats a good point

[grand pasture]

20% extra power for heavy objects, 50% more for flares

[cerulean dove]

thats not bad

[swift parrot]

how viable is hyper propellant after the tweaks??

[quick tangle]

I would say about the same, only the armor mod was changed (for the better)

[rancid cedar]

hyper vs shellbacks shud be pretty nice now

[rough radish]

isnt homebrew worse now

[quick tangle]

I think it was made better, though I'm not sure
here's the patch notes btw:

• Fixed Hyper Propellant OC
  working incorrectly with T4A Homebrew Explosive mod. This mod was only supposed to affect the actual explosion, therefore these changes have been made to make it more clear:

  The ‘Homebrew Explosive‘ mode has been changed to only affect radial damage on the weapon’s projectile.
  Therefore, it should no longer affect upgrades that do direct damage, such as the Spiky Grenade modification or the direct damage of the Hyper Propellant OC.
  Prior to the change, Homebrew Explosive had no effect on neither direct nor area damage of Hyper Propellant.

[ruby wolf]

Technically a nerf since it no longer affects direct damage, and now just the AoE.

so it's worthless to take if you're using Hyper Prop, since that buffs direct damage.

[wraith shard]

Sup

how can I speak in the general chat)?

[ruby wolf]

By entering it.

There are no role restrictions other than not being able to send pictures, embeded links or videos.

As far as I know.

[quick tangle]

you need a role to speak in any other channel than this one and https://discord.com/channels/257785731072786435/626770765525680170 and probally some more

[ruby wolf]

Oh that's likely a recent change then

no role peeps used to be able to talk anywhere iirc

[quick tangle]

''recent''

[rancid cedar]

worthless to take period cus homebrew doesn’t matter for aoe when ignition is all that matters

[ruby wolf]

Lovely.

Hello, guys. I see plenty of DRG tutorials focused on strategy, builds and positioning and most of it are very good. But I also see a lot of Elite Deep Dive videos of skilled players moving and doing basic things like mining and depositing way faster than me and I found no tutorials of how to move like this. Does anyone know a guide of advanced mechanical skills?

@silver stirrup is the February patch for DRG out for consoles as yet as well?

[velvet helm]

So are EDDs meant to only have enough nitra to feed a single driller for 1 minute?

We could only find about 80 on the first

Which for dreadnoughts + haunted cave makes it really difficult

We did manage but subsequently suffered from dwindling nitra supplies until we all just died on stage 3

[jovial juniper]

thank you the role system wasnt working at first but now it si

is*

[rancid cedar]

Maybe this edd is particularly nitra deficient cus imo ammo tends to be even less of a problem for edds then your average haz 5

[velvet helm]

Yeah I think we were just incredibly unlucky

It was also the worst biome (the red tentacle one I forgot the name of)

We all had like 20 revives and downs each

[old widget]

TBF nitra hunts on hollow bough are never fun

not quite as bad as salt pits, but...

[raven carbon]

At least you can see in salt pits

Rollies make it hell but at least you can see

Thank you very much

[steel lava]

Thanks. And do you know how to fast climb gunner zipline?

[rancid cedar]

spam jump and E. Or whatever the button is to go on to zip. There are a lot of modded players that do it a lot. Like if you watch a solo from waste I think he as clips of him doing it if you need the timing

[steel lava]

Rock and stone!

[rancid cedar]

rock and stone

[hushed mantle]

When does the new beer release?

What new beer? Prop hunt one? It's already out

[hushed mantle]

What I meant to say was when does it release on console

I don't remember if console is 1 or 2 weeks behind

[fathom coral]

Normally 2 weeks

[west needle]

anyway u can help me? lol im going u

nuts

[cosmic steeple]

which region do you play ?

Hi btw

[cosmic steeple]

i'm on eu

wanna give it a shot now ?

[west needle]

hoe du do roles btw and pls help YES

im so annoyed its late n i wasted an hour n a hakf

theres a blue 57 n a blue 33 in wi me idk if theyre suitable tho

[cosmic steeple]

huh blue 57 ?

[west needle]

steam or microsoft and i mean the level

miner level

[cosmic steeple]

oh we can try still i don't mind x)

wanna inv me ?

[solar dew]

try thunderhead AC with T5C then when you are shooting you can get 50% resistance

[cosmic steeple]

steam

i guess ?

[west needle]

idk im a n engi guy usually n ye sure my name should ne same as discord but could be ArcticPandaSnow

yue it is ArcticPandaSnow add me on there

[cosmic steeple]

make a lobby and send me an invite

ok

[cosmic steeple]

in dms if you need

[west needle]

can anyone else doi edd im in with a 415 guy might need a crew

[zinc frigate]

Where is the drg survivor discord?

Nevermind

[solar skiff]

dude this elite deep dive is gonna make me have a fuckin tweak out

[cosmic steeple]

x)

[solar skiff]

a total of 50 revives and two hours of effort and ive lost connection and had to play with only one other person and the entire time i just get one shot by everything UUUUGHHHHHHH

and FUCK haunted cave being in EVERY SINGLE DIVE ITS SO ANNOYING

[cosmic steeple]

be happy

it's haz 4.5

could be worse :)

[solar skiff]

i just want a no haunted cave no swarmageddon no exploder infestation no cave leech one dreadnought only mission

[solar skiff]

doesnt it go to haz 5.5

[cosmic steeple]

haunted cave is on 4.5

[solar skiff]

theres like no difference if you get hit by it youre totally fucked either way

[cosmic steeple]

i disagree

there is a difference

[solar skiff]

because you or your teammates are always limping along

i have not been above 50 health and neither has anyone else on my team for more than 30 seconds at a time in each mission so it hasnt made a difference to me

[cosmic steeple]

the big difference is what makes you go "limping along" before you get hit

i don't think you always take the one tap in haz 4.5 too

and everything is slower too

(dread projectiles, enemy speed)

[west needle]

happened to me 2

if anyone is up for edd i still need to do it

@solar skiff how have u spent 2 hoirs on stage 1

[solar skiff]

yes my status means ive been on stage one the entire time

[wraith shard]

Hello i'm new

[grand pasture]

Hi new, I'm dad

[random rampart]

helo dad, am @random rampart

[grand pasture]

Hello Mr Melvin Man

[tiny marten]

i need you

xd

[random rampart]

👋

[grand pasture]

Umm, wharrr?

[tiny marten]

you seemed like an engi enthusiast, and you were also using stubby in one of the vids youve posted, could you help me build it? no OCs tho

[grand pasture]

For sure

[tiny marten]

actually i do have one clean which well, wont hurt using or change the build around it i bet, i have the one that increases rof and reload

[grand pasture]

I run 13123 but I use EMR overclock, for the last option I reckon you'd do better with extended mag instead

Some people will tell you to use hollow point bullets instead of conductive bullets, I personally don't notice much gain and the math seems to say so

[tiny marten]

so regardless of not focusing on electricity conductive still is worth taking

[grand pasture]

Yeah

One helps with weakpoints, one will mostly accomplish that same thing but also help against non-weakpoints

Especially better against enemies where that's a problem, like sentinels, spreaders, etc

Breeders

Oh and certain enemies have electrical weakness which helps too, Mactera, stingtails, I think more too

Some people will chalk up "what about the enemies that resist it?" And they're all too uncommon/rare for it to be that noteworthy

[grand pasture]

Excuse me, gonna take an hour nap

[tiny marten]

then why not play full electricity instead of dmg?

[rough radish]

because electric stubby is weak and the dmg mods finally give it a niche

but as far as hollow point vs bonus to electrified, like they said the math is pretty similar, especially since stubby isnt the most accurate. even if u are hitting weakpoints most of the time its about the same, and ofc better if not shooting at a weak spot which happens sometimes

[rough radish]

but yeah mostly its cuz stubby has the weakest electric dot, mostly only useful for slowing stuff, and also the +25% electric arc mod is pretty bad

[tiny marten]

and what about breach cutter? would you play it with trail/stun/quick deploy/extra lifetime?

OCless as well

[rough radish]

yeah thats good. plasma trail and stun are both insane on breach, first tier is just personal preference

[tiny marten]

i mean, would someone need 6 back to back shots on anything other than to cheese a dreadnaught?

[rough radish]

its mostly for the extra ammo

[tiny marten]

as in to not reload and use it later?

[rough radish]

on roll control u dont really need more life time, for example

nah mostly for +3 shots. extra mag size mods give more ammo for anything that starts off with ammo in the mag

[tiny marten]

rly?

[rough radish]

yeah

[tiny marten]

so it's also +3 ammo?

[rough radish]

yeah

[tiny marten]

dang

had no clue

[rough radish]

unfortunately turret mag size doesnt give more ammo

but most others do

[tiny marten]

but youd still choose trail even if ran without extra lifetime?

[rough radish]

yeah lifetime doesnt affect the trail, just the beam. basically extra range, definitely useful too

[tiny marten]

trail has a fixed range that it will cover? i thought the more range the beam covers the more trail itll leave

[rough radish]

it'll go the full way it just wont affect how long the trail is ther for

but yeah extra range, more fire

especially useful for stationary targets

[tiny marten]

and since youll also be stunning them itll help ig

aight thanks, i unlocked it yday and didnt have time to test it out, ill experiment a little with it today and see how it feels

[rough radish]

nice enjoy

[solar dew]

oh hi guys I'm new here and I got some problems with the drg-chat channel , I can't send massage in that channel for I don't have the permission can someone help pls ;D
(And this is the first time I use Discord and join a sever)

[thorny gull]

anyone up for an edd? psn europe

[wraith shard]

hey this is off topic but i cant access drg chat and other channels i just joined

do yk y?

nvm got it

[grand pasture]

Yeah I'd advise listening to Flipsie on this one, I'm not a massive user of the breach cutter, personally I don't like using it unless it has spinning death

[fresh prism]

Is this the only channel I can chat in?

[random rampart]

read #welcome-and-rules and pick at least a role

[rancid cedar]

breach cutter is one of the stronger mod less weapons in the game so a lot of it is just preference

[granite nacelle]

lul

[grand pasture]

@rancid cedar lmk when you want to do the EDD

[gleaming herald]

Hell nah this one got 3 fucking black boxes

[rancid cedar]

when i’m home from work

[olive hill]

Still better then 3 dreadnouts

[stable bear]

At least no haunted refinery this time

[elfin cipher]

Thank god I brought sludge pump.
Fyi: me and my friends always do Deep dives blind. This weeks DD alone was chaotic for us

2 bulks in 1 swarm.

Steamy

[grand pasture]

What the scallop happened?

[narrow jetty]

it is 3 black box dd once again

[grand pasture]

@rancid cedar can't get on the elite anymore today, heading off to bed, catch you at another time, should conveniently be helping carry two other people tomorrow after the reset at some point

[rancid cedar]

[old widget]

Kinda. If you go to #welcome-and-rules and click on one or more roles, you’ll gain access to the other chat channels. There are dedicated channels for #928582985559736360

[tiny ferry]

Thank you soooo much! I have not been able to figure out how to chat on other channels until now.

[old widget]

Yeah. The onboarding here doesn’t do a lot to hold the hand for new users (at least compared to some Discord servers). Rumor has it that the sheer number of users here has made it challenging to get a better onboarding process in place.

[spiral badge]

They could pick a couple mods and assign that task to them so they don’t have to worry about it

[grand pasture]

It's an anti-bot/spammer thing

[exotic belfry]

Yeah. I’ve heard from mods that they don’t even have the power to fix it, as they don’t have access to the privileges/accounts needed to fix it.

[burnt sandal]

it's not, it's just that permissions need to be looked at but only one person in the discord take care of that and they're most often busy with everything else

[grand pasture]

Oh really? I could've sworn I was told the specific channels new people can type in were so mods can easily find them. Who's the person who handles the permissions?

[graceful vine]

Rock and stone everyone this game has my heart and I got it only 4 days ago

I would love to go on missions with y’all this community is iconic oafs are on me

[thorny gull]

Hello

Please proceed to #welcome-and-rules and get yourself a fancy role

[drifting tinsel]

^ that way,. you can post in the LFG channels!

[graceful vine]

Rock and stone

[ivory marten]

That is... not a bad dive this week.

nice.

[grand pasture]

WOO, SABOTAGE!

[drifting tinsel]

industrial sabotage nation we have won 🙏 i'm so glad it's back

[twilit ingot]

good edd

[drifting tinsel]

and in a comfy morkite-mule sandwich too haha

[grand pasture]

Wait

Awww it has critical weakness???

Now it's gonna be piss easy and boring for me

Oh well, you take what you can get

[drifting tinsel]

well, shield disruption

[stuck mason]

hello hello! i am new here. How can i join the LFG chat? 😄

[drifting tinsel]

but critical weakness on caretaker is going to be funny as hell

[grand pasture]

Doesn't affect bosses

Might work on appendages, but not the caretaker itself

[drifting tinsel]

select a role in #welcome-and-rules by reacting to a message!

[grand pasture]

Shield disruption is over-exaggerated anyway, sure no shield, but enemies deal 30% less damage to you on it

[steel python]

Looking at these dives, the DD looks like a real fun time

Meanwhile EDD is just crying for molly

[wraith shard]

where is the new deep dive bru

they are the same wtf

[fervent cosmos]

This edd is quite fun

mid spicy

[hearty geyser]

OSR and Sabo this week? Hell yeah

[silent prism]

EDD has 3 Mini Mule Secondaries in a row
Stage 1 and 3 are both Morkite just with different warnings

[charred radish]

And isn't there a shit ton of red sugar too?

[grand pasture]

It doesn't affect red sugar no

That being said though, of course 30% less damage from enemies indirectly makes red sugar 30% more valuable

[burnt sandal]

it affects red sugar spawn IIRC

[grand pasture]

Really? Since when? I didn't see this on the wiki page for it

[burnt sandal]

hold on

[grand pasture]

holds on

[burnt sandal]

#wiki-related-chatroom message

there

No Shields is 2 Mutator data assets, increased red sugar spawns and a shield multiplier of 0 in a single Warning data asset.

unless that got changed recently, this should still be the case

seems like it was still a thing by the end of 2023

[grand pasture]

Hm, does it say how much by?

[burnt sandal]

didn't find a number so far
it's assumed it's x2 by some people but that's about it

[grand pasture]

pings the devs HEY HOW MUCH

[rocky temple]

discord question: why cant i talk in #drg-chat

[grand pasture]

Get a role at #welcome-and-rules corresponding to your platform and preferred classes

[rocky temple]

thanks

[safe crag]

I blame you entirely

[grand pasture]

Whoopsie doodle

[warped quiver]

Does critical weakness work on the caretaker? Ik it doesn’t work on dreads

[grand pasture]

Nope

[warped quiver]

damn

[grand pasture]

Probably works on the appendages though

[warped quiver]

I guess it’s still good for everything else tho

[rancid cedar]

goddam elim was easy as fuck before they changed that

[chilly shore]

critical weakness is a cheat code fr

[raven carbon]

Not so good on sabotage though

Fun edd

Good mix of missions and mutators

Nice challenge

Not too easy not too hard

[chilly shore]

?? literally makes you stomp anything except the actual caretaker

[raven carbon]

Yeah but that's the hardest fight in sabotage

[rancid cedar]

crit weakness really just lowers haz by like 2 levels lmao

[raven carbon]

I don't think it works on the appendages either

Great on all bugs I agree

[raven carbon]

I mean compared to how good it is on other missions

[chilly shore]

idk if the caretaker summons are seeded but it makes you delete patrol bots
and most of the mission is turrets and bugs

[raven carbon]

Yeah the bots become very easy to kill

I don't think turrets take bonus damage either but not sure

[chilly shore]

sniper turrets might not have a weakpoint i forgor
the other ones definitely do

[eager atlas]

That's like the only relevant part of the mission though

I guess bots, you can zap them in the head easier, but that's about it

though personally I use hyperprop for sabo so bots are a one-shot regardless

[chilly shore]

idk might be my warped perspective but the caretaker fight is just wait for driller to drop c4 and then hold d while shooting caretaker eye

crit weakness stomps more than half the mission timer

[eager atlas]

I tend to play in in 2 or 3 player lobbies, so we rarely have a driller, and I rather have an engi than a driller

[raven carbon]

This time the critical weakness help was mitigated by shield disruption

Imo one of the worst warnings on sabotage

[chilly shore]

well then i think crit weakness carries even more

[pallid edge]

What do you recommend for the trophy “car pool” which dwarf and what place is the best ?!!!!

[rich wolf]

heyy

omg

sorry

[grand pasture]

Debatably, if you know what you're doing then it's stupidly easy

[native topaz]

Hey, I'm a driller main, and I'm thinking of playing other classes witch one should I go with

[grand pasture]

They do

[grand pasture]

They do not, correct

[rancid cedar]

i would rather have any class over engi if my team is actually struggling

[rancid cedar]

try them all out and see what you enjoy the most

[grand pasture]

It does

Wait no I'm thinking of something else

Iirc the wiki describes appendage weakpoints as "fake weakpoints" which might explain why not

[obtuse wadi]

as another driller main, i found the engi most enjoyable followed by scout. can't really find my grove with gunner tho.

[spiral badge]

Engi is my most played though I’ll play any

[grand pasture]

I deadass only played Engi from when I first touched the game, until I got him to Silver II

[stable bear]

Thank karl for no haunted cave this week holy moly

[native topaz]

K, thanks to you all

[grand pasture]

I honestly don't get the beef with haunted caves, what is it that people actually hate about it in specific?

[stable bear]

Vastly annoying

It just gets annoying sometimes

[native topaz]

They're easy

It's only trouble if the cave is to closed

[stable bear]

Especially on the two missions that it has been on these past 2 DDs

[chilly shore]

kite an extremely slow moving area denial away from pipelines simulator

[eager atlas]

only issue with haunted is dreadnoughts imo

[chilly shore]

such fun

[stable bear]

Yea a refinery and dread mission with HC was not a great time

[native topaz]

Best negative modification is lack of oxigen

[stable bear]

Without a full squad to help kite it’s a hassle

[stable bear]

Also grab a role in #welcome-and-rules then you’ll be able to talk elsewhere

[rancid cedar]

lol no

that shit makes morkite missions so fucking long by forcing you to wait on molly

[chilly shore]

used to get wrecked by mactera plague, but now that i know whats up its actually so free

[eager atlas]

low oxy 400 morkite mission

[spiral badge]

I’d take haunted cave over oxygen on a morkite

[rancid cedar]

same

[native topaz]

Thanks ❤️

Roxpox?

[pallid edge]

Anyone deep dive elite ?!

[ivory marten]

Oh shit, there's a Jet Boot Box in the regular dive!

Stage 1, the side cave.

[spiral badge]

Jetty jetty boot boot

[ivory marten]

Hey. How many leeches on the dive this week?

[dire shale]

I just got promoted, how do I access deep dive?

[spiral badge]

Did you complete the promotion assignment and then get promoted in the hall of heroes?

[dire shale]

Yep

I got my scout a star and their level turned 1 again

[mental rampart]

have to be on the class that is promoted specifically

[old widget]

also make sure you do the Breach The Core assignment to unlock the weekly core hunt

[abstract geyser]

So, what’s the best active + passive perks for DD / EDD?
Personally, I use :

1. Active : Iron Will + Dash
2. Passive : Elemental Insulation + Thorns + Resupplier
   I would like to hear opinions from others

[rancid cedar]

dash and resupplier are always amazing. Field medic, iron will, sweet tooth, born ready are also good picks

[grand pasture]

I run Iron will + Dash, then Elemental insulation + strong arm + resupplier

[abstract geyser]

I see

[abstract geyser]

I replace resupplier with born ready if I use gunner’s autocannon since the reload is exactly 5 seconds or the missile, so I can use my burst pistol in the meantime

[vast sleet]

i main engi w/ executioner lok-1 and VIR shard diffractor
Active: IW (beast master if solo) + Dash
Passive: Resupplier, Vampire, Born Ready

[dire shale]

I dont’ see the deep dive anywhere

Is it a mission or something?

[rancid cedar]

it’s on the terminal next to the window

right past the forge

[dire shale]

Ohhhh, I thought it was called Deep Files

Thanks!

[soft prairie]

Holy mule secondaries what is that edd

[unique ore]

mini mules are the best ones tho, extra nitra

[soft prairie]

True but also

IS with shield disruption 💀

[oblique sun]

I just joined this server and I'm sorry to be off topic but I cant talk in DRG-chat. Can someone tell me why?

[unique ore]

#welcome-and-rules get a role

[oblique sun]

Okie, thank you!

[chilly shore]

that was the smallest sabo map I can ever remember

there was some like client jank where the caretaker didn’t carve out terrain on my end but did on the host’s

so I would just be walking and suddenly instakilled in the ground

that was harder than the actual enemies

[shadow temple]

I'm convinced I'm the only player who actively takes Heightened Senses for active perk

I'm not gonna have the funni sideways leech cost me a game, nopee

[patent elk]

You're not the only one

HS and field medic are my only two actives I really use nowadays

[rancid cedar]

HS is nice if you don’t trust randoms, but honestly dash alone makes it very hard to die on haz 5

So second pick is usually very flexible

Sometimes i take steve just for fun, or berserker in solo

[eager atlas]

HS is very nice for solo since bosco can't always save you

[rancid cedar]

that too

[raven carbon]

Took some time for me to get used to gunner when I started playing

You don't have the emergency defence weapons of driller or engineer or the mobility of scout

[bitter current]

I'm a newbie and just got a mic I'm so hyped after hearing great things about this community

[raven carbon]

But then you realise you don't need any of that

[raven carbon]

Welcome miner

[eager atlas]

get a role in #welcome-and-rules to use all channels

welcome to the game, enjoy your stay

[bitter current]

Thank you! Just got the roles I think. It'll be a nice switch from hell divers 2 and how toxic that discord has gotten

[cinder hill]

1 leech on the 2nd stage

but really its not your biggest problem there. its the hive guard dreadnought side quest.

[grand pasture]

Good perk for people that are still learning to deal with leeches

[frail patrol]

taking it on scout is a game changer. Even when you are aware of leeches theyll still getcha sometimes

[shadow temple]

Haha I'm not even learning, I just value the ability to be able to put most to all my focus into the direct threat in front of me

Like, I get it, Iron Will is a very strong skill and I don't deny it being straight up better than HS

But......

Preference I guess

If I die, that's skill issue on my part

No iron will to bail me out

Trading in my cautiousness for leeches for my cautiousness in everything else. I like it that way, most don't, that's fine :3

[cinder hill]

"cave leech infestation" is like, 1 more than normal

[grand pasture]

Understandable

[ivory marten]

Really?

I found like, 3 or 4?

[cinder hill]

i mean 1 leech infestation

yeah its 4 leeches if counting

[shadow temple]

Just finished EDD, Face Melter really be shining well here

Normally don't like bringing driller to EDD solo due to ammo issues, but over here I managed to finish this one with 700 nitra to spare

So yea, pretty smooth~

[rich nimbus]

What do I do if I want to find a team to play deep dives with

[random rampart]

you can try and post on the lfg channel for your platform

[rich nimbus]

Ok thanks

I can’t type it says done reading? Check out this channel

[burnt sandal]

read #welcome-and-rules

[thorny gull]

lmao pounce leaked secret cat pics thread

[burnt sandal]

one* of the secret cat pic thread

[wraith shard]

Does anybody wanna do an elite deep dive with me? I've just unlocked them and none of my friends can play rn

[naive beacon]

that doesnt rly help when welcome doesnt say u need the roles to access most of the server

[wheat hill]

Elite Deep Dive manageable? Shield Disruption Sabotage seems pretty harsh

[lethal rover]

It's tough but if you take your time you'll be fine

There's tons of nitra so just call in a lot

You'll definitely want a full team though, it would be tough to do solo

[sinful narwhal]

Hey question should I uh start taking armor breaking on my builds when I see it?

[half mist]

I just joined I can’t seem to chat in drg chat but I don’t wanna be spoiled about deep dives what do I do

[lethal rover]

I am having the same issue

[old widget]

@half mist @lethal rover go to #welcome-and-rules, select one or more roles, this will give you access. yes, it's obtuse.

(and welcome, new miners!)

[lethal rover]

Thanks for the help!

[grand pasture]

Well most people who would read that would then get themself a role

[old widget]

well you might think that, but...

[grand pasture]

In actuality, nobody who joins even does the reading part

That's on them though

[naive beacon]

i did read the whole thing but didnt get the role when i joined

[grand pasture]

.....Yeah, you click something to get the role

[naive beacon]

i know i could click them to get a role, but there wasnt any reason to get a role because nobody told me it lets me talk in the server

also when i joined the driller role was missing

[vocal ocean]

I can’t comment anymore I’ve been playing too much modded difficulty it was easy for me

[vocal ocean]

I read the whole thing, it was the nicest and fullest one 10/10

[round steppe]

has anyone tried the new elite deep dive?

[chilly shore]

it’s fine

[round steppe]

help me lol

that 2nd one was very difficult

[wheat hill]

quick question

what are the missions for the normal dive?

[north axle]

1st and 3rd are ez
2nd was the only one i had trouble on

[rancid cedar]

check pinned messages

it gets updated weekly

[wheat hill]

aight thx

just saw it

[spiral badge]

Normal dive looks ez

[mellow furnace]

What do I have to do in order to get access to #drg-chat?

[pure cliff]

gotta choose a role in #welcome-and-rules

[abstract geyser]

Managable, just be careful, don’t rush too much, as for the caretaker, the driller can dig above it, and drop some C4s to destroy the vents (need 3 each phase, so the driller will need 1 resupply pod for himself for optimal run, at least in my experience a few days ago).
I heard that when shield disruption mutator is active, enemies deal 30% damage less.
Also, there’s a bulk in our run.

[eager atlas]

the level is pretty small
you can do 2 C4 drops only if you pick double damage

[shadow temple]

If u wanna cheese it, just go with a flamethrower driller for this EDD

Driller inherently just melts caretaker, and his flamethrower will help u in stage 3

Honestly feel free to spend 2-3 resupply pods just to stay in the ceiling, you don't need a lot for stage 3

[eager atlas]

you don't really do much damage to the caretake itself

oh yeah, there's minimules in all levels, those provide some extra nitra too

[shadow temple]

Ye, but with all that nitra u have gathered, u can literally just c4 it to death without having to go personal on it

[abstract geyser]

Ah? I see
I forgot the mod choices, but I assume I must sacrifice radius for this extra damage?

[shadow temple]

Alternatively, another trick I've learned

If you have an explosive reload subata and the born ready perk

[eager atlas]

yes, range competes with damage on tier 1

[shadow temple]

Just load 7 bullets into its eye, swap to primary and wait for subata to reload, then load 7 more bullets into it, swap, then finally shoot 8 and reload

"instant" phase skip, but probs only useful for phase 3

[abstract geyser]

Basically, the subata is similar to the dual pistol for scout

[abstract geyser]

I see, noted for next time

[shadow temple]

Hell yea, it also works there too

[abstract geyser]

Before we wake the caretaker, me, as a driller, build some tunnels around it, so my teammates can hide anywhere

[shadow temple]

Embedded Dets gonna be fun

[eager atlas]

driller is the tunnel

[abstract geyser]

Making sure the walls are thick enough so the tentacles will not be able to stab you

I called it, “The Vietnam Technique”

[shadow temple]

Fitting name

[eager atlas]

the rocks speak vietnamese

[abstract geyser]

Only 2 downs in the end of stage 2

It honestly feels illegal to be THAT easy, at least for me

[shadow temple]

Driller is honestly kinda funky in sabo. Like, the difference between a green beard driller who brings the wrong stuff to the mission, vs a greybeard driller who knows exactly all the tricks to sabotage, that difference is massive

[abstract geyser]

I started playing in December 2023 when I bought the game during sale, I guess I’m still pretty new here

[chilly shore]

yea the caretaker fight is like
as driller just drop c4
as other classes just shoot eye while either holding d or hiding behind terrain so arms cant get you

[shadow temple]

Somewhat new but I think you're far enough that u have good understanding of most of the game tbh

[abstract geyser]

Hmmhmm

[shadow temple]

Tho it depends on how much you've actually grinded since Dec haha

[chilly shore]

i think this weeks edd was easier than last week
but i was kinda goofy last week

[abstract geyser]

I started my first elite deep dive when my level-300 friend dragged me (I’m still level 50, with a few hours of playtime) to the stage

[shadow temple]

If the driller wants to try hard, he can actually do more than just c4ing the boss

[abstract geyser]

I told him, “This is a mistake”
But we succeed lol, I use scout at that time

[chilly shore]

yeah you can take out arms and stuff

[shadow temple]

He can use axes to one-shot the arms, flamethrower can continue to finish off patrol bots, and his Subata/EPC can still damage the caretaker

He's pretty much the Sabotage Class

[chilly shore]

the real challenge as sabo driller is that you have to keep running up to drop c4 and then running down to do the other stuff and then running up again

diagonal climbing simulator

[eager atlas]

Personally, I think engineer is potentially better
less bursty against the vents, but hyperprop demolishes everything else

[shadow temple]

Solution: We give Driller the grappling hook

[abstract geyser]

I have yet to feel this kind of excitement since playing GTA Online in 2016-2017.
Played DRG almost all the time, everyday, grinded here and there, now sitting at level 200+ with 3 achievements left.

[chilly shore]

like
i played the edd as a gunner scout duo so uhh

it was fine

[shadow temple]

Damn, u have hunted haha

[abstract geyser]

Elite deep dive used to be scary, until I discovered dash

[shadow temple]

I'm at 750 hours but 61/66 achievements

[chilly shore]

there was some kind of client desync thing (i think ?) where on my screen the caretaker didnt carve out the terrain, but the terrain was carved out on the host end so i would glitch through what i thought was the ground

and i went out of bounds and/or died from janky physics

[eager atlas]

I had that happen once and it was the worst

[abstract geyser]

I don’t really aim for achievements initially, until one day, 55/69, it’s too hard to ignore, so I decided to grind the remaining ones

If you ask me from my experience so far, the key for EDD is to keep moving, since the bugs hit really hard, especially lethal enemies, treat it like COD Zombies if you know.
If you bunker up, pray that bulk don’t say hi.

[chilly shore]

yea for staying alive i feel like 85% of what you need is just movement and knowing what terrain is good to fight in vs not

and what enemies to pay attention to ig

[abstract geyser]

Hmmhmm

[chilly shore]

idk things are tricky to explain because after a while
you forget what it's like to not know

[shadow temple]

Haha that happened once for me

Nice fun going caretaker fight yay...
(Falls right through the floor suddenly)

I think another good thing for DD / EDD is Scout’s pheromone arrow from the crossbow, and shoot it at medium / big bugs with lots of health, or the pheromone grenade to throw at a swarm.
People hardly used that in my lobby or don’t know about it, at least in Asia lobbies where I’m at usually, so they shoot the bugs that have the pheromone effect.

From my experience, it’s extremely useful to lure the bugs to fight each other, so we can continue with our objectives

[exotic belfry]

I moved from USA to SEA so I’ve played in both lobbies quite a bit, and it’s the same in either lol.

Regardless of where, When someone sees a glowing bug, they shoot it.

[abstract geyser]

hmmhmm

[tacit jungle]

second stage was a little spicy

[shadow temple]

From my experience (also Asia), people tend to like pheromoned targets because it groups bugs together

[abstract geyser]

I see

[shadow temple]

Makes for the perfect grenade lob

[abstract geyser]

Yep, that also works

Just nuke it and call it a day

[shadow temple]

Haha yea, pheromone is quite versatile

It can distract, or it can help group

So it is used both defensively and offensively

[abstract geyser]

Can be used as a distraction tool to escape
Or group em and wreck em

[shadow temple]

Somewhat sad that pheromone, while it can be inflicted on bulks, doesn't actually have any effect on them I think

Which I guess makes sense balance wise...

[fringe thistle]

yeah, bulks aren't lured by pheromones, but bugs WILL go towards a pheromoned bulk

furthermore, a scout can grapple directly through a bulk and make them slam attack, and the grapple is fast enough to avoid it

and the slam attack will kill all the bugs near it

[abstract geyser]

It’s like seeing a sign “there’s a bomb underneath this sign don’t unplug it” and the bugs unplug it

[thorny gyro]

what the hell was that elite deep dive man 😭

[amber valve]

useful knowledge

[fringe thistle]

a friend taught me today that it is apparently known as "Bulk Busting," which sounds way cooler than my word salad

[amber valve]

lmao

[shadow temple]

Imagine how cool that'd sound....Swarm coming in, bulk appears
"Scout, it's time. Do the Double B"

[cyan birch]

You can turn a Haunted Cave Warning into an upside

[shadow temple]

Haunted Cave anomaly

[hasty fable]

k

[trail aspen]

i just failed at stage 2 like 2 times because someone was double dipping on my resupply, whoever you were i hope you stub your toe like really badly.

[rancid cedar]

Holy moly mother of nitra is all i have to say about this edd

[grand pasture]

Pretty much

Knew it was gonna be easy for ammo when I saw a sabotage and 3 mini mule side objectives

I ended mine round like 640 nitra I think

[granite vector]

Holy mother of mules as well

[final bloom]

Hey I was wondering if anyone else has had any trouble beating this weeks elite deep dive cause I can’t complete it

[verbal rivet]

Me 2 lol

The care taker is giving me trouble

[final bloom]

Same

[verbal rivet]

Which platform are u on?

[final bloom]

PlayStation

[verbal rivet]

Wanna party up and give it a go ?

[final bloom]

Sure but I don’t really use my mic

[verbal rivet]

Thats no issue

[chilly shore]

caretaker fight is mostly a strategy check imo, use cover and/or strafe, and use gunner shields, put resups behind cover. Good luck you two!

[final bloom]

What’s your username?

[verbal rivet]

Ye ik but my teammates are treating it like hazard 2

[verbal rivet]

DMs

[final bloom]

👍

[fathom coral]

EDD lvl 2 was just annoying for me to clear out the Swarm eggs for rotation, other than that, this week wasn't bad.

[errant jay]

This EDD was not that difficult if one of the teammates didn't leave

[lament coral]

edd was quite easy this week, i played flame driller w full auto subata

[abstract geyser]

For EDD stage 2, use the “Vietnam Technique” : the driller build tunnels around the caretaker, make sure the walls are not too thin, or else the tentacles can stab you. And make another tunnel going above the caretaker for the driller to drop some C4s at every phase (he will need 1 resupply pod for himself until the end of the fight). In my run during the caretaker fight, only 2 downs occured, and that’s when my teammates trying to shoot the eyes.

[abstract geyser]

While mine is flamethrower + burst subata with stun OC

[grand pasture]

Yeah that's where half the nitra is coming from

[granite vector]

Generally ran the item carrying perks 😭

[drifting tinsel]

just ran the EDD, one of our poor engis went down on top of the caretaker and none of us could get to the poor guy since the caretaker was spinning

i almost feel bad for them, but they refused to leave driller's ice fishing cabin above the caretaker, and i don't think they tried hurting the caretaker at all :'|

[oblique arch]

just completed my first EDD, that was robot hell

[granite vector]

Not a fun one this week in my eyes

[main topaz]

if you go with a fire comp this week is pretty free

the only difficult one has crit weakness and then its just 2 3 room morkite missions with mini mules

[eager atlas]

You don't move when you're on top of it so whether it visually spins or not doesn't make a difference
but you can get hit by the arms so it's kinda risky to revive

[dusky crystal]

greetings. can you join others and can other join you, mid deep dive? like as in it has already started?

[burnt sandal]

no

nobody can join an ongoing dive

[dusky crystal]

understandable, thank you

[fathom coral]

i'm not sure if someone ran a mod, but i got disconnected one DD before, and they invited me and i joined back in, not exactly sure what happened.

[eager atlas]

afaik you can join back, you just can't join if you weren't there from the begining

[fast topaz]

where can I talk about drg survivor in this server. Cant seem to say anything in #drg-chat

[burnt sandal]

pinned messages in #drg-chat

[high carbon]

Any recommended gunner or scout builds for this week's EDD? I absolutely misjudged last week with the hellish lack of nitra. Also, how is this week's EDD in comparison to last week? (Mission 2 makes me a little concerned with shield disruption industrial sabotage).

[chilly shore]

this week has tons of nitra
I ran it as a gunner/scout duo, lead storm/hellfire on gunner and ai stability/double barrel on scout. Definitely take something that can hit weakpoints since you want to take advantage of critical weakness on the stage 2 sabotage. If Lead Storm feels too unsafe, I would suggest A Little More Oomph, Burning Hell, or base minigun. Aside from hitting weakpoints, also try to bring something that can deal with small enemy spam since there are swarmer eggs everywhere, and rival shredders, and the biome also spawns shockers. Hellfire did the job for me as gunner, but scout ended up wanting boomerangs.

I think overall, as long as you are decently comfortable with the caretaker fight (using gunner shield and putting resups behind safe cover, etc) then this weeks edd is easier than last week. There’s enough nitra to use a few resups as health packs if you need.

[spare night]

I'm thinking about doing my first EDD

and I know this is technically a LFG request, but because it specifically pertains to this and I might need a small amount of carrying done

would anyone be willing to help?

[amber comet]

What is EDD im new to the game and about to play for the first time?

[leaden cypress]

Good for you since this is probably the easiest EDD i've ever witnessed

[glad sky]

Somone wants to play elite deep dive?

[leaden cypress]

Deep dives & elite deep dives are a weekly type of "event" unlocked after your first promotion where you have to do 3 missions in a row to unlock matrix cores (which lets you get weapon overclocks & cosmetics)

[spare night]

yeah you don't have to worry or think about them for a while

[unique ore]

#welcome-and-rules get a platform role, ask in the lfg channels

[sleek ridge]

how to you get premision to post in the LFG channels?

[burnt sandal]

read the message above yours

[wanton lodge]

guys its normal to do deep dive solo? or its a party stuff?

[manic pivot]

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

[dry void]

why cant I talk in any other channels

[hushed sequoia]

i recommend reading the message 4 messages above yours that asks someone else to read the message above theirs which says get a role from the welcome channel

[dry void]

thank you

[wind thunder]

I think it's better to do it in a party.

I did manage to do a Deep Dive all on my own, after succeeding at a bunch of Hazard 3 missions.

[exotic belfry]

Just like the rest of the game it’s suitable for both solo and team play.

Remember that bug health and density scale with the player count, so different builds work better in either situation.

DD are hazard 3 and 3.5, so if you can play a H3 mission by yourself you’ll do just fine in the DD.

[sonic wing]

Dd was pretty easy went down once because i did a dumb

Edd i had a bit more trouble with stage 2 and me doing another dumb but stage 1 and 3 were pretty easy

[crimson lagoon]

Jeez that stage 2 and swarmers...

[hoary palm]

is someone officially a greybeard once they've completed an elite deep dive?

[obsidian vigil]

what's yall opinion on data rack+shield disrup

[high carbon]

Awesome, thanks!

[high carbon]

More to it than that, I think it's how you play the game and what you do

If you're out there guiding people frequently, keeping the whole team alive, helping with organization/efficiency, that'd be a greybeard

[frail patrol]

it was crit weakness, every single stage has mules, and stage 2 especially had loads of nitra. Youll be so swamped with resupplies that you can just hold left click until the caretaker dies

[sonic wing]

I had a bad time with the first hack but was fine from then on

The edd has plenty if nitra

But i also did both dives solo

[obsidian vigil]

it has crit weakness? damn i didnt notice that

[sonic wing]

I was playing driller with microwave so the crit weakness did not do much for me

[frail patrol]

yeah something like AISE gk2 absolutely shreds bots

[sonic wing]

Anything that could actually land weakpoints would have shreded

[vocal ocean]

likely

[regal fulcrum]

how do i get an access to #drg-chat

[unique ore]

#welcome-and-rules get a platform role

[vital anvil]

Yo

[summer hull]

why am I can not writing in drg-chat?

[burnt sandal]

read 2 messages above yours

[summer hull]

god thx

😄

[high carbon]

My heart pains for you mods here

[stable bear]

Tried EDD, failed S2 because inexperienced players and no gunner :(

I get wanting to go in blind but going cryo subata on an EDD with a caretaker and rival isnt great

[wraith shard]

hellooo

[uneven cosmos]

Hey we played the regular DD last night. Nice going scout

[cinder rover]

this EDD wasn't that bad despite all the rivals stuff

[radiant gate]

Decided to try out a Deep Dive for the first time by doing it solo; ended up with 01:00:55 (though I was mostly doing it for the overclocks lmao)

[shadow temple]

So close tho, if the driller just switched to a flamethrower, it instantly gets much easier

Oh well, blind run be like that

2nd run will definitely win :3

[wraith shard]

I beat it with a semi random (i knew one guy) team using randoweiser lmao

43 min

[tiny portal]

Couldn't beat it with randos so just beat it by myself, way easier

Sometimes I feel like the randos are geting worse every week

But maybe I'm just unlucky

[valid ginkgo]

We gotta encourage greenbeards and teach them the ways.

[harsh dagger]

do deep dives change weekly??

[untold saddle]

Every thursday

[fluid wigeon]

ye

[olive lake]

What the fv3:k im pissed why is haz 4 solo on aqua runs broken. No break after killing hordes of grunts. Like hello clearly its bugg fix that stupid ass shlt

Xbox

[leaden cypress]

PE constantly spawns enemies

so nothing is broken actually

Also you should read #welcome-and-rules to post in #drg-chat

[olive lake]

I had no breathing room to mine or do the objective

This is normal??

Why should i eve play haz 4 solo its not worth it

[leaden cypress]

Yet there is plenty of time, even on modded haz

[olive lake]

Not for fun or fun time efficient xp/credit bonus

[leaden cypress]

You should try at lower haz

and once you get the hang on it, try it out at higher haz

anyway this is the channel for deep dives

[olive lake]

Oh

[granite quartz]

What should I do if I want to write my idea, but it's too big, slow mode gets in the way

[olive lake]

Its normal to kill 503 bugs and 37 mins haz 4 aqua run?

[leaden cypress]

What isn't normal is for you to take 37 minutes in an aquarq mission when it takes 10 at most

[olive lake]

Haz 4 thats what im saying its bugged on xbox

[leaden cypress]

it's not

[olive lake]

Hordes just kept comimg

[arctic trail]

The longer u take the more bugs show up

[leaden cypress]

above 25 min the hordes are permanent

no matter the hazard, no matter the platform

[arctic trail]

Just speedrun obj at the start

[silver jackal]

yeah it is the only mission type that scales

[rancid cedar]

the passive spawns increase over time on PE to compensate for the fact that it is generally the fastest mission type in the game

Most PE’s shud be 5 to 15 minutes

[olive lake]

I tried speed running as engi eer i told bosco to mine aquas on ceilings and hard to get to spots. I guess i have no time to mine nitra or gold right? I mined gold for double xp btw

[naive beacon]

sometimes ur just the only one getting aquarks tho 🙃

[leaden cypress]

well that's the case since he's solo

And bosco should heavily carry PE anyway

[naive beacon]

hey theres bosco

[leaden cypress]

"mined gold" yeah no wonder

[olive lake]

It was doyble xp tho

Normally i dont

[leaden cypress]

You get more XP from obliterating the enemies instead of gold

[arctic trail]

[olive lake]

But dudes i aint a noob tho i have volatile impact rea on shard and chem explosive on smart rifle. And i have good aim and that mission was a pain i.n the ass

and im good at apex legends

[arctic trail]

Not a mechanics issue

Game knowledge

[leaden cypress]

Spending 37 min on an aquarq mission is very much a skill issue if you ask me

[olive lake]

Thats the last time i do that again too what a bltch of a mission im still pissed

Nah ehat your ranking on apex you pred, bro?

[olive lake]

Whats you apexx rank

[thorny echo]

I dont think aim would get you far on this game

More of a game sense rather than aim

Heck some OCs even make you didnt need to aim

[rancid cedar]

So you think ur good at drg huh? What’s ur fucking chess elo rating m8

[olive lake]

Ok tough guy

Lol

[wind radish]

[rancid cedar]

Imagine playing drg before completing all dark souls games hitless smh my head

[olive lake]

I dont olay chess but i can be good at it if i played chess rather than spend time on video games

[flat acorn]

omg lol

[olive lake]

Not hard to be like fischer with time

[flat acorn]

he really is funny

[olive lake]

And good memory

[flat acorn]

@leaden cypress thanks

[olive lake]

Its just a memory game

[leaden cypress]

You're welcome

[thorny echo]

Oh god its getting worse

Lmao

[olive lake]

Yup

[flat acorn]

so
