this is it

its the same message that just gets updated each week rather tahn making a whole new message

[vernal fog]

Thanks, maybe it should be pinned? 🙃

[rocky zenith]

it is

[vernal fog]

Ahh I see

[rocky zenith]

it should be the first message you see when opening pins

[vernal fog]

Misleading that it says 4 months old

[wraith shard]

Hi

[outer mortar]

Hi

[civic plinth]

is this game worth it?

[burnt sandal]

kind of a very biased place to ask IMO
if you ever played left 4 dead or left 4 dead 2 : it's similar. If you liked those, you'll probably like this one.

[civic plinth]

indeed lol

ok

[outer mortar]

sry to ask this on this chat, but how can I obtain my roles in the server to chat in the general chat and some others?

[burnt sandal]

read #welcome-and-rules

[outer mortar]

The thing is that I already selected my role and it didnt change so I got confused

[civic plinth]

wasn't this game 3rd person?

This trailer is showing first person tho

[burnt sandal]

you gotta insist a bit, the bot has trouble keeping up with how many people we have in here

[outer mortar]

oh ok thx

[burnt sandal]

as far as I know, all those games are 1st person

[civic plinth]

i might have been looking at smth different

[outer mortar]

rock and stone brother keep doing a good job

[civic plinth]

ohh

i was looking at "survior" edition

they have way too many editions lol

idk which is which

[golden lion]

Survivor is uhh

idk what typa game tbh

And normal is the real experience but both are/seem fun

[civic plinth]

do you havethe game?

[golden lion]

I have normal drg

Around 137 hours in it

[civic plinth]

ok

does it have micro-transactions?

[golden lion]

Yea but not pay to win or stupid like fortnite

Basically just supporting the devs and u get cool skins for every character/gun

[chilly shore]

more accurately this game only has macro transactions

[burnt sandal]

Not really. DRG has no micro-transaction in the traditional sense. There are DLCs but they're all cosmetics.
You pay for the game, you own the game, and every last bit of gameplay content.

Even if you don't want the DLCs, the game still has a ton of cosmetics to find in the game for free as well.

DRG : Survivor is another game, made by another dev team. The dev team behind DRG lend them their IP and published their games and they're making their own spin-off on the side.

[old siren]

This weeks EDD is bugged with the old "lost connection" issue again

Am I the only one that's had it happen? Could be lol

[languid moth]

Perhaps

[runic scroll]

my cheese is so good

[vestal sapphire]

only cosmetic packs which are not time gated
there is a "battle pass" but its freee and everything in it is obtainable through other methods in game after the season ends, you just need to grind/get lucky if you want a specific thing

[abstract geyser]

Also, the game is only around 3GB, very small in terms of size, but the gameplay is very fun

[unreal stream]

Best to post this on your platform's lfg channel

[pure cliff]

to access said channel, you need to choose a role in #welcome-and-rules

[unborn iris]

I don't see it, what's it called?

[random rampart]

you dont see a channel called "welcome"?

it's in the category named "Info"

at the top of the channel list

[river creek]

I keep getting the same overclock from my deeps dives

its the ultra magnetic coils overclock

got it 3 times in a row now

Anyone know why I am getting it everytime?

[burnt sandal]

you're actually only getting it once. You get the rewards once a week for each dive. You have to wait for the reset to get new rewards.

[river creek]

oh damn ok

thanks

[turbid dawn]

ah this is a common reload bug that happens

you can either resupply to get it back/ animation cancel to try and get it back/ die in game and get picked up

[inner flint]

It was my resolution I changed form 1024x768 to like 1440 something and that worked, thanks though.

[lean lantern]

Anyone mind sending a ss of the missions for the EDD this week? Was curious what missions they have

[exotic belfry]

Check pinned

[lean lantern]

Thanks!

[humble parcel]

this one's even worse than last week

it could just be because my only promoted character is scout

if there werent exploders i'd at least beat the first dread lol

[shell thicket]

Need some help? I beat DD and stage 2 of ED

[humble parcel]

i think i'd just be better off trying it on my own before roping someone in to die with me

gonna try promote gunner before i attempt deep dives again

but thanks for asking

Have an eggcellent egg hunt and even more eggstraordinary deep dives -- Rock and Stone!

so, just a heads up, i got classic dreadnought for my second dread on stage three of the regular dive, but the deep dive spreadsheet says hiveguard. if there's a change i'll write it down (；・∀・) but for now take that last dread with a grain of salt, i suppose?

EDIT: okay, it's confirmed to be classic (* ´ ▽ ` *)

Hey, Anyone else notice that the 3rd EDD stage only has 4 eggs? I could've sworn DD primary objectives were always on the medium mission length setting

[unique ore]

theres been previous cases if you look at the archived dds, looks like the only thing not allowed is 3 mission lengths

Lost connection mid game

There was 4 of us me and another friend lost connection

[exotic belfry]

Game is P2P so connection issues are caused by your device/connection and the hosts. If you keep getting disconnected from different hosts that likely an issue with your stuff.

[rocky quest]

Man, standard deep dives are a joke.. my buddy and I have taken up doing no resupply challenges (and also no ammo for the vast majority of the time) to spice things up a little, and frankly, it's still really easy. Still, good fun indeed!

I recommend doing no resupply/ammo challenge runs to the rest of you, it's very, very doable in the standard deep dive.

[vestal sapphire]

yeha, normal deep dive doesnt even hit h4

[bright wedge]

But what if the final stage is Elimination ? You gonna pickaxe the dreadg to ded ?

[fresh minnow]

berserk is a perk for a reason

[eager atlas]

you can, yes

[unique ore]

I just stick with randoweisser for dds now

[rocky quest]

That is in fact, what we did, mostly. Though I got bored near the end and used some ammo.

[rocky quest]

Isn't stage 3 at haz 4? Doesn't it go 3, 3.5, 4?

[rocky quest]

Yeah, that's fair, I just personally don't like having a randomised loadout, but that's also totally reasonable.

[rocky quest]

I was running berzerker, yeah. Not as useful as some of the other perks I went with though.

[leaden cypress]

3/3.5/3.5

[rocky quest]

Oh, does it not go up for the final stage? I'm used to them doing that..

[leaden cypress]

Yeah it's weird, but it's like that

esp when EDD is 4.5/5/5.5

[rocky quest]

Yeah, I knew that, I just assumed the normal one worked the same way..

Weird.

Hello

Hello everyone

[slender otter]

guys, did this week edd include two huulis or it was just our run?

[grand pasture]

It should be consistent

[gusty basin]

why is this the only chat i can mesage in?

[indigo drift]

Could'nt do it solo, it was a nightmare, when I did it with a friend we focused on the Mule obj first, found a spot to call in resupplies and ran back to resupply point for every swarm triggered by the eggs, if one of us went down at a crucial moment we would Iron Will and resupply.

Wish we had a driller though, would have done the exact same thing but have a nice bunker to hide for every swarm.

[slender otter]

in simple words?

[grand pasture]

You should be able to find those same two huuli hoarders every time you do it, in the same location too

[slender otter]

ok, thanks

[grand pasture]

Theoretically anyway, I know some things are affected by player count, like a nemesis spawn, but unsure if this is one of them

[slender otter]

ok, I'll ask some players if they did have huuli in full team run (we did trio)

[crystal lodge]

Idk but I find it strange that 3 users with very similar nicknames and new accounts (they were created like 2-4 days ago) joined the server almost in the same time

I think I am being paranoid 🥸😭

during the EDD, someone said "i hope we get jet boots next stage" while going in blind and we just got jet boots in the 3rd stage

that's a bot

Not from the US but I'm an English teacher

Best advice I can give you is to seamlessly involve yourself in English conversations

Learning a language can become a side effect, not a chore when you talk to others about things you enjoy talking about

That's how I learned!

Also back to topic

Can anyone tell me what this week's deep dive is I'm not home for the day 😔

[dapper moth]

It's not pinned anymore? D:

[rough radish]

its pinned

[burnt sandal]

it's a scam

[cyan birch]

Breakpoint for swarmers on haz 5 and edd is 15 (14.4 but can't exactly have it be exactly that), so something like the autocannon built for AOE with at least 15 damage on a 2m radius will do wonders

[ebon basin]

2nd fase of the normal deep dive, I cannot found the last 31 morkite, I've been a whole hour here, help

I've explored the whole cave 5 times

alternatively take hurricane and just always one shot swarmers

[jolly herald]

Any suggestions for ammo efficient builds for Engi? I struggled on this weeks EDD, felt like I was out of ammo constantly - using LOK1 with armour break module and Breach cutter with plasma current

swarmageddon was particularly rough

[leaden cypress]

ECR/Exec LOK1, breach cutter, VIR/ODB shard, RJ250 PGL, EMD/EMR stubby, MPA/Stunner Warthog

[exotic belfry]

Here's a few builds I like:

Primary Builds:
12321 Magnetic Pellet Alignment, Warthog
**12122 **Cycle Overload, Warthog
12321 Stunner, Warthog
11113 EM Refire Booster, "Stubby Voltic SMG
11312 Executioner, LOK-1 Smart Rifle
**11111 **Executioner, LOK-1 Smart Rifle

Secondary builds:
11122 Light Weight Cases, Breach Cutter
11122 Roll Control, Breach Cutter
11222 Spinning Death, Breach Cutter
31121 Volatile Impact Reactor, Shard Diffractor (Pair with Elec for +33% damage)
31211 Overdrive Booster, Shard Diffractor (Pair with Elec for +33% damage)
**32213 **Plastcrete Catalyst, Shard Diffractor

[jolly herald]

Dope, thanks

Don't have exe lok yet sadgers

[exotic belfry]

Very sadge

[jolly herald]

Got stunner hog, em refire stubby, spinning death cutter and plastcrete catalyst though

[exotic belfry]

Those are my favorites >:)
Though be warned, Plastcrete takes some getting used to, as you have to shoot platforms to make use of its effects, and spinning death requires you to play around choke points to get the full effect.

[leaden cypress]

T5C doesn't really serve a purpose with shard

esp when T5A exists

[jolly herald]

Will try it on lower haz first

[exotic belfry]

The slowdown is nice, and Unless you run it with Lok you cant really make use of the elec bonus from T5A

[leaden cypress]

LOK or stubby

[exotic belfry]

Stubby also works, but only lasts 3 second, which I find too much work for little benifit.

Especally since stubby is only 25% at base

[leaden cypress]

The 25% proc chance isn't really a problem considering the rof & the amount of ammo

Slow not working with VIR's magma & plascrete's explosion is also a problem

It's mostly utility vs more damage anyway

[exotic belfry]

WDYM? The slow works while the gun firing, which is all you need for plastcrette or direct DPS

On VIR T5A is probably better, but I ususaly run VIR with Warthog so I default to T5C

[leaden cypress]

what you care about with plascrete is to proc the explosion, not necessarily to single target with it

[exotic belfry]

It keeps the bugs near the platform, grouping them up

[leaden cypress]

I doubt 1s would make the bugs go very far from the platform

Especially when the damage radius is 5m

[exotic belfry]

The AOE applies the slow right?

[leaden cypress]

No

[exotic belfry]

Really? I could have sworn it did

[leaden cypress]

T5C not working with VIR & plascrete is the main reason why T5A tends to be a better choice

it only works with the beam when directly shooting at something

and since you're shooting at the platform which is not an enemy, T5C basically never procs

[exotic belfry]

No it applies in the AOE, just tested it #modded-gallery message

The yellow icon next to the HP is the slow icon

[leaden cypress]

By AoE i meant the platform explosion

Not the beam

the beam in itself applies slow

but the magma from VIR & the platform's explosion do not

And since you're shooting at the platform most of the time, you have little to no uptime to proc T5C

[exotic belfry]

Yeah, it takes 1 second to explode, the slow keeps the bug within the 5m adius for the 1s

[leaden cypress]

What i'm saying is there is no bug that'll move more than 5m in less than 1s

so whether you keep them or not doesn't really matter

unless they move out of the 3.5m max damage radius to reach the 5m radius (which usually shouldn't happen in less than a second)

Also afaik there is a disintegrate component of the explosion which has 0 fall off

so you get a 5m AoE dealing 150 damage which should instakill any grunt without any issue

[exotic belfry]

Fair, but if you don't run elec T5A is literally useless.

This also isn't considering bugs near the outside who are kept in place, nor is it considering self defense, as the slowdown can be invaluable in keeping bugs away.

Overall I see why you would prefer T5A, but don't get you saying T5C is useless. It very clearly has a use, and slots into any build.

If you are building for LST's and are running Stubby or T5A on Lok then yes take T5A, otherwise don't.

[leaden cypress]

What i'm saying is T5C doesn't really serve a meaningful purpose in plascrete even considering the situation mentioned earlier

If you're running solo bosco can proc elec

if you're running mult teammates can proc elec

In the miracle case where literally no one is using elec (which also includes crystalline cavern not being the mission's biome), then yeah T5C is the choice by default

[exotic belfry]

kinda. Scout is the only other class with elec (ignoring BRT, cause nobody uses that). And even then, IFG's and ER GK2 are then only two sources that you would realistically take advantage of on a non LST build.

So again, if you aren't building for LST's why take T5A?

[exotic belfry]

True, in solo I can agree take T5A

[leaden cypress]

Coilgun has elec as well

[exotic belfry]

I totally forgot about that lol, ok fair.

[leaden cypress]

in the case of VIR you do take T5A because, again, T5C has almost no uptime since you're not aiming at enemies directly

[exotic belfry]

True

So its less of "always take T5A" and more of "T5A is the default, and unless you are only running for AOE, why take slows"

[leaden cypress]

In the case of plascrete the same happens because you're aiming at the platform , and depending on the orientation not only do you not cover as much of a large area as you'd think due to the beam being inclined (unless you're above the platform, in which case you do cover the largest area with the plascrete AoE), but the slow will last a single second for enemies that will, for the large majority of them, die from the explosion either way since they wouldn't have time to get out of the AoE in a single second

[exotic belfry]

I've found without Slow, bugs on the fringe often walk out within 1s, and there's no need for +33% damage on a explosion that kills anything less then a praetorian.

[leaden cypress]

It's a case of "this is the least worse upgrade to pick" because shard's T5 tree is dogshit

weird

i've never had that happen in my case

unless they were already at the boundary but statistically speaking this is quite rare

[exotic belfry]

I wouldn't say Dog shit, the slow is really good for keeping targets in place and AOE builds. And T5B has one use with the one that get stronger the longer it shoots

[leaden cypress]

The point of T5A is also that you have a decent tool to aim at electrified mid-sized targets

T5B having a cooldown and returning only 3 ammos per kill when shard consumes 13 ammos per second is clearly awful

[exotic belfry]

It mainly happens when I have a platform pre placed, and notice bugs walking over it. Not when I place a platform to shoot it

[leaden cypress]

T5C not proc'ing on plascrete's platform & VIR's magma makes it a lot less interesting than expected

well current T5C would be insane on VIR

[exotic belfry]

It makes sense, most bugs within the explosion radius are hit by the AOE, so it wouldn't do anything there.

And for VIR it would be OP af with it lol

[leaden cypress]

but a nerfed version that triggers on everything would def make it a more competitive pick to T5A

[exotic belfry]

I dont think so. T5A is picked because it's free damage, and a lot of it. To make T5 more competitive you would have to nerf T5A and buff the base DPS

VIR magma also already has a small slowdown right?

[leaden cypress]

I said T5C, not T5A

what cooldown ?

the magma is instant and lasts 7s

[exotic belfry]

Slowdown

[leaden cypress]

x0.7 at base

[exotic belfry]

Yeah, it doesn't really need any more, cause it kills grunt with 1 line. So even if T5C worked on it it wouldnt be better then T5A

[leaden cypress]

if T5C worked on it it would be much better than T5A

magma itself deals a ton of damage & heat

[exotic belfry]

40 DPS for 7 seconds VS 212 WP DPS > 281 WP DPS

[leaden cypress]

You're forgetting uptime

Magma will easily deal 95%+ of your total damage at the end of a mission

[exotic belfry]

Fair

magama can deal 280 damage over its lifetime, so getting that full 280 would be a lot

[leaden cypress]

40 DPS + the damage dealt by the on-fire status + targets being almost immobile for 7s is much better

[exotic belfry]

And probabaly a little OP

lol

[leaden cypress]

hence why T5C would obliterates T5A

[jolly herald]

perchance can i get a TLDR for someone who who doesnt know what T5A/T5C, VIR magma is

or have you edited your builds laydax

(i did read i just don't understand)

[leaden cypress]

he didn't edit them

VIR is volatile impact reactor, a shard overclock that generates magma on the ground and deal an insane amount of damage (both direct (magma) and indirect (on-fire status))

T5A & T5C means respectively "1st & 3rd upgrade on the 5th row of the mod tree"

which in this case is shard's

[exotic belfry]

I swapped the two direct builds for T5A. as I hadn't realized just how much that +33% does. Though I will say, the the slowdown is very strong for dreadnaught missions if you team lacks slows. If you team does have slows then default to T5A.

[leaden cypress]

plascrete is another overclock that generates massive explosions when you shoot at a platform for a second without interrupting

In any case once you try a build, you should also give a try to other mods in the mod tree

Some like one or another, same goes for overclocks

[jolly herald]

Yeah I try to experiment outside of EDD but when I get into the EDD i'm normally concentrating on staying alive and don't want to grief the team trying out janky builds

[exotic belfry]

At what bonus would you consider T5A and T5C equal? Or do you think T5C is too niche on Shard.

Like if T5A was nerfed or T5C was buffed

[leaden cypress]

the problem is that one buffs damage under conditions and the other one doesn't buff damage at all

It's like T5A vs T5B on sludge

T5B doesn't increase damage by a lot but you tend to pick it on higher hazards because it's more DPS

meanwhile T5A gives a lot more utility than T5B without buffing sludge's damage

So yeah i think it's up to preference at this point (esp on haz 5 where such busted OCs don't require a lot to be good )

[exotic belfry]

I mean in the current builds. Cause I can see reason for both, but generally DPS is better since shard favors DPS in its OC's

[leaden cypress]

From personal experience T5A is a bit better on plascrete as long as there is something inflicting elec

on everything else T5A is much better

ODB benefits a lot from it if you bother setting it up

magma doesn't benefit at all from T5C or T5B so you're limited to T5A again

ABC doesn't exist

and the cleans probably benefit more from T5A for a higher DPS

Speaking of uptime there is also T4A vs T4B on stubby

You lose a bit of time to proc elec with stubby but T4B is more consistent overall

as you don't need to hit a weakpoint to proc the bonus if the target has a x1 mult (praetorians for ex)

[jolly herald]

I'm surprised there isn't class specific channels with all this stuff pinned tbh

its a lot to take in

[leaden cypress]

the channel in question is #drg-chat

[leaden cypress]

You shouldn't give too much attention to it if you ask me

[exotic belfry]

I find that on DPS stubby, if I'm not shooting a WP then I'm not shooting at all, and the TTK on grunts WP is so low it doesn't matter either way.

[leaden cypress]

It's mostly minmaxing everything rather than trying to make things good

You could remove shard's T5 and VIR & plascrete would lose at most 1 or 2% damage

[jolly herald]

yeah apologies wasnt sure if to post there or ask here

[leaden cypress]

Well it's still fine here since the main topic was about an EDD build

but if you need more questions regarding builds you should ask in #drg-chat

[leaden cypress]

weird

[exotic belfry]

They are just telling me why I'm wrong and I'm taking a while to agree lol.

The TL;DR is, Shard favors DPS due to its OC's having innate damage that's high enough to kill small targets, and it's slow is mainly useful for rounding up said small targets.

[leaden cypress]

well not totally weird since grunts have a 20% res on their armor

[jolly herald]

thanks

[leaden cypress]

but in the case of praets for ex aiming at the mouth is more consistent with stubby hence T4B

the other targets have a relatively visible WP so T4A or T4B doesn't matter

[exotic belfry]

I dont like standing in front of the bug with a breath attack, but that's jut me lol

[leaden cypress]

[exotic belfry]

Imo there should be. But the official reason as to why there isn't is that it would be too many channels on a discord with 600k people. Every active channel added is another channel the mods have to watch constantly.

[leaden cypress]

the other place you might be able to talk about it is the practical DRG server

but it's mostly modded content so the builds will be slightly different

[exotic belfry]

Yeah. They are great, but modded advice is pretty bad for the standard player lol

[leaden cypress]

And honestly there is probably less than 1K people who are seriously theorycrafting so i doubt a new channel is gonna be that useful for that matter

drg chat is fine as it is

legit half of the discussions there are about builds anyway

The interesting thing about deep dives is how rng for the maps can make an edd feel like a dd

[shadow temple]

Oh definitely, especially for those uplink or black box missions. You can be chill for most of the EDD, and then have to defend in the worst location known to dwarfkind

[undone garnet]

I'm considering finishing up the DD solo this week and I'm curious if anyone has recommendations for solo scout loadouts

[grand pasture]

"Impact deflection" DRAK-25 with 1x222
"Jumbo shells" broomstick with 2132x

[undone garnet]

Might give that a try next time. I'm going for EFS and DB

[grand pasture]

Use Drak for general purpose, shoot at the ground right in front of grunts to kill quicker but shoot directly at them if they're very condensed.
Use the boomstick on praetorians and other HVTs

[chilly shore]

praetorian
”hvt”
despair.jpg

[grand pasture]

What?

[chilly shore]

praetorians are not hvts

[strong saffron]

This current DD is my favorite one so far

Its got jetty boots, my favorite mission warning and mission types

[radiant remnant]

Last week EDD also had jet boots

In its third mission

[grand pasture]

Compared to grunts, they are, sure they're not the most important things ingame to kill but I'd recommend the boomstick over the DRAK for it

[chilly shore]

probably a more precise term for that is "non fodder"

[daring sandal]

sheeeeit i haven't done deep dives this week

[grand pasture]

More precise would be "BIG FUCKER, SHOOT THIS ONE RIGHT HERE, SHOOT THEM, I HATE THEM I HATE THEM ARGH"

[chilly shore]

yeah but while youre sinking ammo into him the grunts sneak up on you because they are faster and therefore more dangerous

ok to be fair you can just play scout however you want because grapple makes you invincible

[dapper moth]

Is it though? Mine don't show anything :(

Apparently I'm rate limited

And now it just can't find anything

[remote violet]

hi there quick question
if i queue a deep dive and the runtime goes past the weekly reset, does it still count for prior week or for the week where it finishes?

[grand pasture]

Prior week

Infact you don't need to queue, a game restart is needed for the dives to refresh

Wait by prior week do you mean the newly starting one? Or the one that just ended?

Cause you can do the last week's deep dives if they're queued, get the rewards, then do this week's ones for more rewards if that's what you're thinking of

[cyan birch]

You can always try your luck solo

[radiant remnant]

I'm almost always playing solo on EDD

Somehow being solo is just easier, but actually less fun

[cyan birch]

The enemy amount and damage scaling with both player count and hazard is a great system to me honestly, they've done a great job in balancing the game feel to be suitable for most

[hearty geyser]

if I go solo on dives, I always bring beast master. It's nice having Steeve as company too

[jovial portal]

Managed to find a group shockingly fast. One left after stage one, but we still got through

[brazen furnace]

Can someone explain how a deep dive works?

[pure cliff]

3 missions back to back with progressive scaling difficulty, a normal deep dive goes : 3.5 3.5 4
and elite deep dive goes : 4.5 5 5.5 (I think)
the secondaries objectives must be fullfil aswel as primary objective, the secondary objective has turned into main missions to, for example collect 7 aquarqs and also 2 eggs in the same mission

the same cave gen for everyone, everytime

What do the cores do?

[old widget]

https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/Matrix_Core

[weary sage]

thought regular is 2 3 3.5.

elite is 4 4.5 5.

[old widget]

Nope.

[jolly meteor]

blank matrix cores are for tritylite events that happen randomly in missions, if you dont have a blank you can still do the event for extra exp. overclocks are for your weapons, when you promote any character once and upgrade atleast once in each row on ur weapon you can put an overclock on it. the overclocks give upgrades to your gun and some overclocks give debuffs, cosmetic cores are kinda obvious, they give you a cosmetic for that class.

[fair brook]

People help me!
I started playing for an engineer not long ago, but the problem is I don't know which is better "sturdy" or a shotgun? what should I download for a comfortable game?

[burnt sandal]

read #welcome-and-rules, pick roles and ask about this in #drg-chat
for questions about mods, this goes in #modded-drg-chat

[eager atlas]

are you asking "stubby" or the shotgun or?

if so, it's preference really, though I'd personally argue the shotgun is a bit more versatile without overclocks

[fair brook]

It’s just that I like the engineer, but I don’t like his Strongman. I'm thinking of switching to either a rifle or a shotgun. but I don’t know what to take.

I write a little clumsily with poor English

[eager atlas]

I'm not sure what you mean with strongman, but anything regarding weapon loadouts and even perks is preference based, even if some options may be objectively better

just use what you're comfortable with

[grand pasture]

Do you have any overclocks for either weapon?

[fair brook]

So far, no, I haven’t pumped it out to the end yet.

Which is better against a cluster of beetles, a lock1 or a shotgun? (strong man is not taken into account)

[grand pasture]

What exactly do you mean by beetles? You mean the glyphids?

[exotic belfry]

Neither. Without OC's Engineer Primaries are mainly for Self defense, meaning its good for stragglers, very small groups, and the occasional HVT.

If you want to clear the swarm you gotta use your secondary.

[grand pasture]

Yeah, his primaries aren't exactly the best for it, I'd maybe say shotgun would beat Loki usually but only if you use it right

[exotic belfry]

That being said Turret Whip warthog is the best CC your gonna get with no OC's. Its a small 160 damage AOE that you can fire twice a second given you have turrets up

[grand pasture]

Yep, not my personal cup of tea but turret whip sure can get the job done pretty well

[rancid cedar]

hog also has stun at base which is pretty good self defense compared to no oc stubby and loki

[sinful spoke]

there any gunner guides in here?

what do you mean when you say it "stays on engineer" ?

[inner wyvern]

my missions do not change if i change my class

i want to promote my scout

[leaden cypress]

Did you do what pounce said ?

[inner wyvern]

yes

i sent you a screenshot

i cant send anything here

[leaden cypress]

What happens if you go on the promotion terminal ?

[inner wyvern]

do you mean where i take missions?

[leaden cypress]

no

the promotion terminal

[inner wyvern]

where is it?

[leaden cypress]

Take the elevator to the left of the customization terminal

then go forward

[spiral badge]

In the room with all the statues, in the back

[inner wyvern]

ohh thanks, i'm promoted now

so, is normal to see all class missions i think, looks like a bug at first

[leaden cypress]

Yeah so you already did the promotion assignment

Once you reach lvl 25 you do the prom assignment then you promote at the terminal

[spiral badge]

Not sure what this means

[inner wyvern]

😄 sorry my english is very bad

to me i was experimented a bug, i uderstand de mechanics now, but i would like to see on the mission asigment like "go to the hall of ... to complete your promotion"

[jovial juniper]

i got 2 hooli hoarders in this weeks normal deep dive! i am feeling very lucky. or is it with everyone that there are 2 hoarders?

[midnight sierra]

Hi guys

Nice room

[raven carbon]

Yes but they will be greyed out

Until you reach level 25 for that particular class

These 4 assignments are there permanently at the left of your assignment terminal

[eager atlas]

hoarders are seeded, yes

[jovial juniper]

So it is not random?

[eager atlas]

correct

[wraith shard]

Why do i only have permission to send messages here

I'm confused

[abstract geyser]

Go to #welcome-and-rules and pick a role (also learn to read, will ya?)

[grim pagoda]

So agro for no reason

[chilly shore]

”learn to read” mfs when they discover that there is literally nothing in the welcome channel that tells you how to gain message permissions

[abstract geyser]

Could’ve sworn I seen it somewhere in the welcome channel, I guess I made a mistake. Now it make sense why people who just joined keep asking about that….

[eager atlas]

it says you can get roles, it doesn't say you need them

[rancid cedar]

Ye i wouldn’t blame ppl when the rules randomly changed one day and #welcome-and-rules hasn’t been updated to properly inform that roles are essentially mandatory now

[abstract geyser]

hmmhmm

ATTENTION MINERS!
Planet scanning is now booting up, 24 hours left until new Deep Dives!
_ _

[exotic hazel]

Guys, i don't get it
Why deep dive has no ores besides mission based, nitra and gold?

[burnt sandal]

so people don't farm them for minerals

[exotic hazel]

But horders (which gives minerals) spawns in ther

[ivory marten]

Yes.

But not always.

You also don't have to run after minerals in order to mine them, do you?

Let me redirect you to #welcome-and-rules

grab roles

join the main chat.

For some reason new users get dumped in here.

[burnt sandal]

that's a bot you're talking to

[ivory marten]

Oh.

just...

[burnt sandal]

[ivory marten]

just kill me.

[burnt sandal]

nah, you're fine

[gentle plover]

Be me, on the second stage of the EDD as Scout, everyone is dead and both the Dozzer's Engines have been destroyed, I'm surrounded by bugs. I manage to save Dotty and the Mission is finally accomplished. Then I lost the connection...

I love the game but it can be infuriating sometimes

And now I can't find any server : (

[humble parcel]

this week's deep dive is a cakewalk

seems better for engineer though since theres a lot of defense points

[manic pivot]

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

[humble parcel]

finally did my first dive

[leaden cypress]

<@&296918282403840000> extremely sus

[hidden venture]

whats sus about us

[wraith shard]

your profile says "moderator" in it

[wide star]

Can someone explain in Simple terms what are deep dives and how to do them The best

[wraith shard]

step 1: have a dwarf that is promoted.
to promote a dwarf, you need to reach rank 25, complete a special assignment, then go to the memorial hall
step 2: You can now play deep dives with that dwarf!

Deep dives are long missions that are essentially 3 missions back to back, and you keep resources and health between them.
If you finish the first mission with 43 nitra, you start the second with 43 nitra for example
Completing a stage of a deep dive gives you cores you can forge

[chilly nimbus]

vietnam in nutshell

[wide star]

Is it soloable

Or do i have to Be social

[wraith shard]

you do not require social interaction

however it is recommended

[wide star]

Like without being Cracked out of Ur mind

[chilly nimbus]

the best is 4 player

but you can solo it

[wraith shard]

it depends on the deep dive, some are easy some are hard

normal deep dives should be fine to solo

[wide star]

Should u do it If Ur sleep deprived

[wraith shard]

elite dives proobably not

[wraith shard]

yes

and drunk

[wide star]

Then imma do it

[chilly nimbus]

good luck miner

[wide star]

thanks palmatethingy

[chilly nimbus]

make karl proud.

[wraith shard]

karl doesn't need to be made proud

he is proud of you

he accepts you

[shadow temple]

If you know what you're doing, it is sometimes easier than doing it with a team

[wide star]

yey i did it

with a shotgun because i missequipped my smg

[shadow temple]

Very rock and stone of you, nice work

[chilly nimbus]

Nice job miner

[wide star]

btw i got a

an unstable overclock for the shotgun

mini bullet or something like that

[chilly nimbus]

Thats probably trash

[wide star]

is it worth it to swap to the shotgun then from the smg on eng

mini shells for the warthog

[chilly nimbus]

Best weapon for engi its the smart gun

[wide star]

smart rifle?!

[chilly nimbus]

Ye

[wide star]

i thought its stubby and breach cutter

[chilly nimbus]

Take the smart rifle and the laser gun i forgot the name

Not the breach

[wide star]

shard diffractor?

[chilly nimbus]

Yes

Thats a good weapon

[wide star]

huh

i thought those were the trash ones

[chilly nimbus]

In my opinion

But try and see for youself x)

[wide star]

oh yeah i mean i think drg is that balanced that no weapon is useless

[chilly nimbus]

Utility IS different.

And upgrade ofc

[rancid cedar]

breach is def the strongest secondary

But shard can be quite good too with Volatile impact reactor and overdrive

[wide star]

hmmmm

[crimson portal]

Hello, Anyone doing a last minute Elite Deep Dive?

[grand pasture]

Pretty sure the Loki is definitely not considered the strongest Engi weapon

With executioner it's pretty good, but base?

[sinful pewter]

Base is just ok

Blowthrough is weird yet interesting

[novel bronze]

best loki is experimental explosive

[leaden cypress]

that thing doesn't even exist

[grand pasture]

Are you thinking of explosive chemical rounds? Cause even then, it's just a bit iffy

[eager atlas]

eh, they are,it's not too different from solo haz 5

[spiral bloom]

Shard is engies best secondsry, and ECR/Exe Loki is best primary

Kinda late for the party, huh?

[exotic hazel]

I do prefer breach cutter and wardog (dk shotgun's name)

[hard oak]

warthog, close enough

[manic pivot]

[low plover]

Magma Core
Low Oxygen
Shield Disruption
Lethal Enemies
Dear Karl, have us at mercy 💀

[eager atlas]

at least low oxy is in a mobile mission

[low plover]

true

4 eggs is swift, but shield disruption on magma biome will be big ouchie with magma floor and fire pits everywhere
also refining with hard-biting bugs on haz 5.5 💀
the worst stage I ever experienced was super vertical stage 3 refinery with swarmaggedon - you literally couldn't touch or even see the floor because of constant flow of swarmers

Carpet Bomber with Fear Factor, here I come again

[gentle ginkgo]

At least the first mission has jet boots

[drifting tinsel]

i'm bringing minelayer to the magma core dive just to make it worse for myself /s

[gentle ginkgo]

Just got a bulk during the shield disruption phase 💀

[steel python]

I think the EDD might just be easier than the normal one lol

[gentle ginkgo]

Wdym

Refinery lethal enemies as last stage?

Low oxygen morkite as first stage?

And shield disruption in magma core as second? xD

[abstract sable]

And then the higher haz level even

[gentle ginkgo]

Although the shield disruption stage is kinda free ngl

At least in solo that is

Idk bout not solo, not gonna try that

But 2 of the eggs are so close to each other that you can get the swarm egg and another egg that just spawns a natural wave of enemies done and deposited and then immediately call the drop pod

So you dont have to deal with the swarm

[steel python]

Counter point

No industrial sabotage

Also refinery with low gravity is Stawny Rock levels of free

[gentle ginkgo]

Industrial sabotage isnt even bad at all though in haz 3.5 and no modifiers

[gentle ginkgo]

Id also say it makes the last mission easier

Bc low oxygen point extraction can take longer than usual if the aquarks are in awkward places

Bc you have to keep running back for oxygen

But with IS you get like infinite nitra for it xd

[jolly herald]

EDD this week looks rough

[fathom coral]

I hit it up with randoms and we knocked it out pretty easily, sub 40min each casually running

[jolly herald]

Aight worth a shot I guess

[autumn radish]

anyone else not getting cores for the new dive?

[low plover]

you mean not at all or just empty cores?
if you collect all cosmetic/weapon overclocks, you get empty core instead

[indigo drift]

That or like me I forgot to restart the game after reset and my squad got confused with the contradicting info I got from here.

“So uh I thought we are fighting robots on stage 2?” “Yea whats up with that”

[knotty shuttle]

L

[rancid cedar]

no you get mineral cores

[low plover]

I get empty cores, lmao
but only for weapon OCs, I still have cosmetics to collect

[low plover]

is that possible to launch new deep dive set but without reseted stage rewards?
because now I imagine your game acknowledged new deep dives dropped, but didn't acknowledge the stage rewards should be reseted as well. So you beat new deep dive but you get no cores, because game thinks you already have done it

[indigo drift]

Yea, so the process was this:
Gunner and Engi already did last week's dive, Driller having his first dive ever.
We finish stage 1 on last week's layout after the reset.

Gunner and Engi got nothing, Driller got their blank core for last week.

I assume now that we finish the real one, Driller should have 2 blanks from finishing normal Deep Dive (1 from last week's seed and 1 from this week), but I'll have to check up with him later on that. It could be possible he didn't get an extra from that

[low plover]

if that's the case, that's easy way to accidentally lose juicy matrix cores for one week

[indigo drift]

oh, me (Gunner) and Engi didn't miss out on the stage 1 reward for this week btw, but not sure about the Driller

we got 1 blank as we should for this week's normal dive

[low plover]

hm

[indigo drift]

I guess it would be neat if Driller actually did get 2 blanks from normal Dive today as a result of me not restarting the game though.

[low plover]

that would be silly way to gain cores overdue

[indigo drift]

lol true

[low plover]

you know you can't play the dive before reset, so just open the game and let it sit till you have time to do it, lmao

[indigo drift]

"hey man I forgot to do last week's dive, ya haven't restarted the game yet right?"

[low plover]

[vestal sapphire]

Thats for redeeming a core in a machine event with everything unlocked

Not for getting already infused cores

[rancid cedar]

I’m pretty sure i get mineral cores from deep dives

it’s like 1/3 or 2/3 of the cores I can’t remember

Same for promos, weekly core hunt, etc

[lavish stump]

hii

[devout peak]

All cosmetic overclocks turn into mineral cores so the 3rd stage of deep dives

[rancid cedar]

Ye that sounds about right

[flint widget]

Oh joy, sabotage this week.

My favorite.

[graceful rock]

managed to solo my first EDD

yes this is a brag

[low plover]

aight, just beated both Deep Dives (DD in 3, EDD in full team)
Deep Dive was piece of cake
Elite Deep Dive, despite my fears, was pretty manageable. Each stage has rather small cave systems with big cave rooms and tunnels, so you don't get stuck in small spot so easily and objectives are quick to make. Jet Boots in 1st stage and low gravity in another are nice advantage.
2nd stage was nastiest imo, because ofc shield disruption and floor being slowly covered in lava pieces throughout all the battle (also onebulk made a lava crater right in the middle of the room, lmao)
Be careful when coming out of pod in 2nd and 3rd stage, as Egg Hunt and Refinery have that in their characteristics to have huge welcoming party, lol

also in that EDD we had Engineer who attempted Elite first time, so 👍

[acoustic delta]

[weak notch]

.

Where i got the roles?

[burnt sandal]

#welcome-and-rules

[weak notch]

Thnaks

[open tide]

As a solo gunner player, 3rd stage was the worst imo. Enemies all over the place, you get hit 3 times, GG, you're down. This was one of the hardest EDD I've ever played tbh, but I got it on my first attempt

As much as I love the minigun, I think the autocannon would be better for this mission

Elemental Insulation is a must. I think crowd control builds are the best for any class this time around

[low plover]

I went there with Autocannon with fear factor and Carpet Bomber. It clears waves and will quickly keep any bugs away from you. Also I used low gravity as much as possible to jump all over the swarm.
I also used ziplines to stay off ground during pumping sequence. The biggest issue for me were macteras and other flying critters, but I tweaked autocannon to fhepoint I can quite efficiently hit them. They are more prone to get feared, they flee within 1-2 shot, so you can take them down before they refocus on you.
I still went down few times, because I got stuck in some weird crevice and got ambushed by 50 swarmers out of nowhere, lol

[open tide]

I went down just once, on the 3rd stage, because of how many bugs spawned at the beginning of the mission. Breeders + Bugs + Swarmers + Exploders + Acid Spitters..... plus everything else. The fact they deal extra damage makes it even harder.
I prefer using Splintering Shells over Carpet Bomber because I still can use the autocannon against big bugs if needed, but both are good for this mission

[balmy stone]

Hellfire is pretty good for when you get trapped, idk how much they nerfed it but the area denial is generous and fire spreads

[open tide]

But I used my good old minigun with Lead Storm. It's still pretty effective, but I think the autocannon would make things easier

[open tide]

Hellfire imo is just an ok overclock to use. I use it from time to time but mostly because it's fun to use, not because it's effective

[balmy stone]

It’s the best oc to deal with shockers and shredders

You can also kill like 100 swarmers with one shot if you position yourself so they form a line

[low plover]

My autocannon build involves armor breaking, so I basically peel big bug from armor and finish it with Lead Spray
Also carpe bomber squishes the swarmer packs easily with its AoE
Its biggest con is accuracy (ofc), so its hard to fight with airborne enemies, but I manage with it, lol

[low plover]

Thats normal for Refining mission, it just dumps everything it has on you 💀
Besides yeetung shield and dumping all grenades you got, idk, I just developed very mobile and evasive playstyle and it works, lol

[open tide]

Same, it's rare for me to have a hard time on EDD, but this one was tough ngl

[low plover]

Ye, it was still rough

[open tide]

I also keep moving a lot to avoid getting hit, specially bunny hopping, since I love using Lead Storm

[low plover]

But still better than 5.5 refinery with swarmageddon and bulk dets 😂

[open tide]

Got 2 bulks at the same time last week

[low plover]

💀

[open tide]

I don't know why or how, but yeah, the game thought it was fine to throw 2 bulks at the same time on us

[low plover]

Gun grenade Goes brrrr

This reminds me of yt short "Unwelcome Dwarves", you'll see why xD

Seriously, since its been added, I rarely use any other gunner grenades

[balmy stone]

I had stage 3 osr with 2 random dread spawns before, it builds character

[low plover]

Deletes bulks, deletes swarms, deletes flying critters, just 😩 🤌

Wait
What

[open tide]

I play solo most of the time so that's not an issue for me

My favorite grenade is still the molotov. It's still active for a long time. Why aim to kill swarmers if I can just throw it out and go do something else?

[hidden venture]

ded

[exotic belfry]

Thank you <3

[thorny gull]

That's why you're the best, Dwarfsco

[hidden venture]

cuz i love killin

[magic wind]

This Elite Deep Dive, the start is so easy, but then the 3rd level makes me want to show a toothy grin to a group of Chimpanzee's, and then punch one of them in the face

Wth is that layer 3

I hate it

[rancid cedar]

just jump and stage 3 ain’t that bad at all. Low grav basically negates lethal

[grand pasture]

Pretty much

Is it weird I enjoy lethal enemies and elite threat for actually somewhat existing as good modifiers? But hate things like volatile guts and critical weakness for making things too easy or annoying and boring?

[rancid cedar]

Naw i feel the same way

Volatile guts is easy but annoying. And crit weakness just reduces the haz by like 2 levels

[limpid forge]

any1 wanna do deep dive

[grand pasture]

Not just that they're too easy too, I also hate how they can mess up builds. What's the point of crowd control builds for volatile guts when just killing a grunt can wipe a mini swarm? What's the point of using MPA on your warthog when critical weakness is making any warthog build one-tap?

[jagged fjord]

Anyone wanna deep dive on playstation

[raven carbon]

Elite threat and regenerating bugs basically don't count as warnings, they're quite easy to deal with

Unless you get an elite bulk

[grand pasture]

Yeah but at least they're still somewhat present, then you get parasites and it's like, really?

Ehhh come to think of it, they're not really that present

[naive beacon]

do elite bulks actually spawn naturally? i thought that was just old reatomizer meme

[rancid cedar]

they spawn very rarely

[grand pasture]

Yeah I've legit had only one and I'm just around the 1.4k hours mark

[quick tangle]

nuh uh

[slender heart]

I almost always see one or two every time I do a mission where they can spawn.

[grand pasture]

Lucky

[gentle delta]

I saw 4 in one mission once

[slender heart]

Bulk Detonators clearly hunt in packs.

[magic wind]

There was a Naedocyte Breeder and 2 Spitballer’s in that single room right as I drop out 🥹

Also Brood Nexus

Granted I’m only like 100 hours into the game I don’t got no godly experience on my shoulders yet

[eager atlas]

brood nexus can be safely ignored

Fix the elite deep dive

Theres no absolute way i do 4 solo runs and i am missing 4 to 7 morkite i explored the map with scout and still cant@find it
