you're the first person I've seen mention that and it's the third day already
It happened again
On a regular mission
Im missing 35 morkite
And scooped the whole map out with my buddys
Ghost ship fix your game
you're just missing it somewhere.
As far as I'm concerned, it's not even possible for morkite objectives to be impossible anymore
There’s always so much extra morkite, light the cave memorize where it is then mine or go for excess flares
quick question, is it common for a Deep Dive's host to get unreasonably upset at a player and disband the game 2 stages in?
cause thats not a very encouraging first public DD experience lol
unreasonably is subjective
I mean, we did the second mission just fine, no deaths or anything
then the host started going on about our driller being a burden to the team, and turning him racist (drillers name was in an asian language)
I had no issues with the driller myself
nor did the other teammate voice any concerns
why con't I talking in another channel:(
Not common at all, you just got unlucky there
Go into #welcome-and-rules and choose a class role
I still can't see the pins here, sad for the dd info
if you're still looking for Morkite in EDD stage 1 (R=Room, T=Tunnel):
Elite Dive Stage 1 (low Oz)
||R1
1 Nitra
T1
Jetty Boot
1 Morkite
R2
3 Nitra
1 Cave leech
T2
2 Nitra
1 Morkite
R3
2 Alien Egg
3 Morkite (technically 4 but 2 are close)||
Thanks for the help
Yes
thank you
Ur welcome
Damn mods are fast
you have better chances using the lfg channel for your platform
I have chosen the roles from welcome chat but still can't write enywhere but here
It tells me to look into deep dive chat
deselect and try again
sometimes it bugs out
K , thx

ATTENTION MINERS!
We are hearing rumors that some dwarves are still not done with this weeks

!
We want to remind you that there's only half a week left until our scanners pick up new missions!

Hey fellas, anyone in OCEANIA region wanna do the deep dive?
I play all the classes so you can choose whatever you want
Емае, кто то русский
There's a Russian fan server in #fan-communities, you can check it you if you want
Спасибо
good
I forgot if it was stage 1 or 3 but the verticality of the cave for the regular deep dive was fun
<@&296918282403840000>
ded
Ahh what did I miss?
Probably something foul
does someone want to play?
try #lfg-steam #lfg-xbox-microsoft or #lfg-playstation after getting a role from #welcome-and-rules
this team is not rock and stoning, should I even bring them home?
you should rock and stone harder to make up for them
join pub EDD
driller ragequits after dying stage 1
host aborts mission after dying shortly after
???
fucking hate randos sometimes
I found a more supportive team to do the deep dive (me and the non rock and stoners got into a fight with 3 breeders and lost it very badly)
This week's Deep Dive was something else.
based
it's always nice when there's no dreads and i can just braindead through without any particular care for single target
dude im so upset
i went on an EDD and i alt tabbed while we were loading into the second phase and the game wouldnt register ANY inputs and my team died because of it
it's ok, we got it on the next run. Rock n stone!
eyy, rock and stone :)
That was a tough one
At least nobody spawned a swarm with a bulk and ambush wave on top of it this time XD
yeah hahaha
question i have the game on game pass on my pc so do i go to the LFG for xbox?
yes
ty
Hello
That last EDD stage was something else. We came out and was assaulted by multiple breeders, acid spitters, A Spitballer, a Brood nexus, My Mom, Your mom... After we wiped we all decided that the cosmetic core wasn't worth it. Feck me.
after a while, cosmetics cores are all you live for
gm
I'm pretty sure I literally only need to get 2 more and then I have all of them
why can't I write in any channel other than this one?
read #welcome-and-rules, pick roles
thank you
the answer is literally two messages above your first one
Ok, thx
is there a scout build wat can destroy everything solo and if there is one wat is it
probably phero + fire bolts if your struggling with swarms
phero is generally the most braindead way to play the game in general and can cheese most solo missions
okay thx but wat primary should i use wich it
whatever you feel like using, if you want crowd control on the primary, electrifying reload gk and aggressive venting drak are good options too.
Any m1k oc with armor break works fine. Ai stability and electric reload are both great for gk2. Thermal exhaust feedback is the best oc for drak by far but Aggressive venting can also be very good for spamming fear to avoid bugs while doing objectives (mainly good for speedrunning ofc)
I am addicted to trying to do cool stuff with static bolts, so I end up neglecting the smelly bolts as a result.
But it is easy to like, not realize you just shot like 3 or 4 special rounds to create some line to hopefully kill a chunk of mobs, but not really a guarantee of killing them...
do yall know what the eilte deep dives missions are?
First one is low o2 200 morkite and 2 eggs
first pinned message
Taser bolts users on their way to spend a third of their ammo to kill 5 grunts and half a praetorian
Basically
That being said, 2 tasers on a big boy will do okay-enough damage, and fully root them
Can for example keep a detonator totally in place, for example, or just fire-and-forget 2 at a praetorian. May not kill it, but, good damage
Smelly bolts 😆
Nice
Yeah I can imagine bug pheromone bolts being stinky
Shotgun oc that has big shockwave forgot the name
That's also good
For crowd control

Pick some roles here: #welcome-and-rules message.
Discord is the easiest way to communicate over voice, video, and text. Chat, hang out, and stay close with your friends and communities.
does repeating deep dives give you new matrix cores?
No but both dives give their own reward, so you can get a total of 3 sets of cores every week
Hey can someone tell me why when I jump into one of the lfg groups it pops with a thing that says check out deep dive discussions and won't let me post anything in lfg ? 
Looked at the different channels and it turns out this one is the only one I can post in aha 😅
it doesnt say this anywhere but if you get a role in #welcome-and-rules it will let you talk
Grab a role from #welcome-and-rules
Ahh thank you
why does nobody play on deep dives
i only ever see like 3 servers
and they are all full so i end up playing solo

Weekly newsletter!:
- Deep Rock Galactic and all of its DLC is 67% off on Steam until <t:1713978000:f>. If you feel like being the absolute completionist, or just want to show GSG some support, this is a wonderful opportunity to snag a copy of every DLC for yourself.
- Ghost Ship Games put out an article earlier this week regarding replayable seasons being added to Season 05 -- go check that out if you're interested in seeing what's inbound.
- Coffee Stain and Ghost Ship's Steam Publisher Sale is still ongoing, and the sale ends <t:1712851200:R>. If you've been thinking about getting SpellRogue or adding every Goat Simulator title to your library, now's a pretty good time to do so.
Here's your reminder that if you had Deep Rock Galactic open while the weekly assignments and dives refreshed, you'll need to restart the game to access new weeklies. Your game will still be stuck in last week's rotations otherwise!
If you're new to the Discord, please remember to drop by #welcome-and-rules and grab a platform role by reacting to a message. Thanks!
Keep on mining, keep on fighting -- Rock and Stone! 
Black box in all 3 stages... Well, could be much worse, like last week
damn the normal dive is gonna be a long one
fungus bogs on regular deep dive...again
3rd time in a row
my least favorite biome tbg
Looks a little nicer than last week's to be honest..
I thought that it wasn't that bad, especially stage three, for some reason stage three was really easy.
I freaking hate Haunted Cave 💀
In practice its easy to handle, but the awareness there something deadly constantly following you and you cant kill it makes my anxious go through the roof
Aww man, exploder infestation?
I hate it, not out of difficulty, it's easy, just annoying for me
Yeah, the easiest of the 3 imo
Just finished it. This week's EDD is not that hard, honestly.
Stage 2 is the tough one, but it's still doable. I hope the game won't spawn a bulk detonator for you guys like it did to me 😡
Yeah it actually wasn't bad.
exploder infestation is the most annoying of this week's bunch. Those bastards creep up on you very quickly 
Did the DD and it was quite fun. Though the spawn for the stage 2 morkite wells where funny. ||One was almost directly above the minehead lol|| (Location Spoiler)
it doesn't seem so bad on paper, but last week's edd last cave was rough
Hi, this Discord server is English only, there are servers supporting other languages in #fan-communities
okey my american bro
I haven't played since the new season released, can anyone give a quick synopsis on what's changed?
also, if you're just now getting back into DRG, consider reacting to the appropriate platform role in #welcome-and-rules so you can talk in other channels, the Discord permissions have changed since you joined and now require selection of appropriate roles to open up those channels
I don't even find them threatening, just a nuisance, honestly I find naedocytes and swarmers more threatening
E dive was too ez my opinion
yo come play im waiting in lobby
any recommendations to be able to do hazard 4 and 5 solo?
normal for now, then elite right away
or edds?
make bosco kill a lot of enemies, run a lot, keep an eye on anythign that can grab you, dont rush inside the cave
running out of ammo a lot on solo wit engi, runnin no overclocks, warthog and the tri secondary
Make bosco kill a lot of enemies? Good luck with that
Use dash learn movement and self aware
Awareness
what if i run out of ammo
Nitra
having trouble findin nitra on solo
mainin engi, any tips on where nitra is usually found?
or how to be fast enough to find nitra?
On the walls, you gotta look at the walls
You'll pick it up over time, figuratively and literally
Strong arm is actually a very good perk for this, you'd be surprised how useful that extra flare throw range is, you no longer need a scout on your team to see ceilings
Hello, who should I contact if I lost my progress in this game. I played two years ago, now I bought it, I’m happy, I’m watching and I’m level one. I had 62 hours of play time. I played on a Playstation 5
Do I really have to come to terms with the loss?
What you playing on now?
just use Bosco with the light upgrade, it does wonders
Nahhh, I honestly valuable that extra life more and can't always rely on having Bosco
The fuck
<@&296918282403840000>
My gosh the cave generation on the second stage of the regular dive
Is awful
Get a driller or suffer
Refining with no driller is asking for suffering either way.
Or if the cave generation is particularly kind, it's a fun roller coaster
So, what is the dd and Edd this week, checked Reddit but the thread isn’t up yet
Since there doesnt seem to be any cross progression, is it still possible to get previous seasons cometics from cargo crates and what not still?
Who wanna play
3 black boxes 
Guess I'm not doing the edd this week
There's a natural path along the side of the cave, so its not impossible without mining.
I only see pins about "special thanks" and deep dives
Other than that this is the only other channel I have access too so
Simple yes or no is easy enough
why i can chat here but not others channels?
I'm so sorry I responded to the wrong message. To answer your question, Yes everything from past season gets added to the Shop, Cargo Crates, Lost Packs, and cosmetic cores.
In S5 they will be changing this so that you can just replay old seasons
Grab a role in #welcome-and-rules
Thankss
DD and EDD stuff is pinned
Ohh shiiiiitttt okay, I am also deeply sorry for the misunderstanding unfortunately deep dive category is the only channels I have access to doesn’t make sense why I wouldn’t have access to gen chat
Grab a role in #welcome-and-rules to acces other chats
seeing what's inbound.
I am a newbie and hope to communicate more with you here?
Normal deep dive was sooooo boring
everyone gets the same generated cave right? second stage was brutal even with driller. Combined with fatigue from stage 1 escort
Drilling down from the wells to the rig worked well enough
It's just annoying cave generation
last week was super easy. hope its similar but i also play random team public, and had really high levels with me
(edd)
this stage 2 pumpjack
crazy
idk how you're supposed to do that without driller
or engi
funny
my gf's screenshots btw
fr it took me and my friend insanely long
this week EDD is very nice, absolutely fast
In case anyone wants details on the first two EDD stages. My group of buddies are greenbeards so I've decided to scout ahead solo for before diving in together. Though trying it myself it seems manageable even alone.

<@&296918282403840000> possible scam
i am shocked, SHOCKED i say, that someone with zero chat history and a hitler pfp would try to scam anyone
😱
It was me an engineer and a greenbeard scout, I just made a spiral staircase and then led it along the wall, took forever but I did it
What mutations are there on this edd?
Elite enemies on stage 2 and exploders on stage 3
Does anyone wanna do an elite deep dive?
the specific combination of elite threat, black box, and aquarqs should be punishable by law
How does Safety First (grappling hook) work ?
What is the duration of reduction fall damage?
it wasn't too bad, I tossed in the last aquark, pushed the button and ran away while my team took a nap in The Pit
Hello
i got mad unlucky my first run. game wouldn't stop giving me elite spawns and it was over the second an elite bulk showed up during the uplink
second try was the exact opposite in that it threw basically nothing at me and i cleared it for free
luck of the draw, i guess
I hate Point Extraction + Black Box
A bulk swarms and warden appeared right beside me during Black Box uplink
As if bunches of elite enemies wasn't enough, i really shouldn't do it solo this time
imagine taking the mode where you're supposed to rush the objective and telling you to stand around in one spot for 2 minutes
Worse part is that the announced swarm still happen
YEP
Practically doubling the enemy numbers
i ended up doing it by rushing the box fresh out the drop pod and not getting many elite spawns
got lucky enough to just barely clear the box before the first swarm
it's possible, but dear GOD it's not fun
All fine until those announced swarm coming
Literally above 90Ish% recovery progress and those Bulk appear just few meters off me with swarms backed by warden and elites
I'm landed with couple of Stingtails yanking me all over, definitely not a good start
I might try that again later
way i see it, you pretty much have to rush the box due to how enemy spawns scale in point extraction
it's right next to you out of spawn anyway
Probably but 1st stage doesn't give much nitra for 2nd stage
Yes it little off to the side where it land, i immediately notice it when i step out
i got by with only one resupply in stage 1 so i could immediately drop one in stage 2
How much amount you got from 1st ? I barely scraped 110 unit
don't remember, wasn't keeping track
but i did have enough to drop a resupply stage 1, dive down, and drop one next to the box in stage 2
That mean i miss 1-2 veins
oof
some of them are kinda high up, which is why i was able to get em as scout
others are hidden in the pit where the last two eggs are
the rest are pretty hard to miss from what i remember
Some are right off the cliff and two are right in front of the eggs
shout out to arrenshadow for sticking out the DD after 2 leaf lovers quit because they didnt like the cave gen on stage 2 OSR
I just made EDD in full squad and man, we were doing this at own pace and we made it in 45:20
if you can survive haz 5, you can easily attempt 45min achievement there
Who even is inuka and why are we asking what he did?
Hey guys, how to get the access to the drg-chat?
You need to pick roles in #welcome-and-rules
Ok, but how to do that? I can't find any roles
oh, succeeded, thanks
Edd was nice
Dd is very long
Well positions in refining are a pain
And got two bulks
Stage 2 of edd can be done very fast, aquarqs are easily accessible
Eggs in stage 1 are fairly close too
Nitra can get a little tricky if you stay too long
Best to do the black box first
ye
you can also do a resupply pod to the side of the black box
that´s how i got my first edd
That's not going to help with swarms
get like sentries to deal with swarms, if you run outta ammo take out some from the resupply
ran out of ammo in EDD 😔
can anyone help me why my saves arent saving,
i reinstalled and they started saving again, i played loads today and i recently got back on to find none of my progresss saved. i tried going into my restore saves and none of those work either/arent loading me into that save. please DM if you know how to fix this
read #welcome-and-rules and get a role or two
after that, post this in #bug-discussion
I usually do black boxes (and machine events etc in normal missions) right after the 1st swarm to give time to clear enemies and gather nitra, is that not viable?
Does Point Extraction scaling increase the Black Box spawns later on or are you saying Black Box + the base regular spawns is enough to be near impossible later on?
fellas i just started the game nd got a quick question if you don't mind. can't access the #drg-chat, don't have perms.
read a few posts up
i'm blind, i apologize
I wonder why it won't let me talk in the regular chat?
read a few posts up
i tryed and that didnt work. i dont know if im sapposed to click on something or acknowledge carl or what but i got nothing lol
the latter. PE timed enemy spawns ramp up the longer you're in the mission and don't stop for the uplink afaik, so it's best to just wrap up the box from the get-go so you can devote the rest of the mission to grabbing aquarqs before things get rough
hi
WE NEED HELP, WEVE BEEN PLAYING FOR AN HOUR AND 20 MINUTES AND WE CAN'T FIND THE LAST CRYSTAL, IM DOWN ANF MY FRIEND IS SURVIVING WE NEED BACKUP STAT ADD MY STEAM YTcrimson_creed_jt
PLEASE
HELP
why is this in deep dive
@real smelt beforehand, read #welcome-and-rules and pick a role or two
then post this on the lfg channel for your platform
This EDD is truly made for ziplines on stages 1 and 2...
Also people can't join midway
Why are people saying this edd is easy I died with random twice on stage 1
I tried again solo... I cannot express the fucking rage I've further stage 1
just had a player try to convince me to cut them some slack
after they popped 2 eggs and caused a swarm while we had 66 nitra and gunner/engi were out of ammo
in the EDD
_ _
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!
_ _
Did we miss something or was there like no nitra in all three edd stages?
Constantly out of rounds, and was pickaxing a dread when we died.
I missed 1 vein or 2 and still had 50 left over and one that wasnt used all the way
They really need to fix permissions that people just can see the welcome chat first. Every fourth message I see here is people wondering how they can chat somewhere else.
That’d make too much sense
Here’s the stage 1 and 2 details if anyone is having issues with finding Nitra or Aquarks in EDD
There should be 5 Nitra veins for stage 1 and 2 each
Gunner would be helpful for stage 1/2 but for stage 2 you can access the upper platform by heading into a tunnel north from the blackbox/starting point.
The idea (if no gunner) would be to finish the blackbox first and then heading North to the upper platform which has 7 aquarks (1 on the path, 3 South East from the mining plat, 3 West from the mining plat).
Stage 1 most eggs and nitra are accessible without a gunner (1 tunnel behind starting room) but theres 1 alien egg/nitra that is out of reach and may use up a good chunk of platforms or drill fuel.
Yeah don't cut them slack, that's just stupid
They were level 104.
Had responded to me earlier in voice chat. Like 1 minute before he did that I said we need nitea
sometimes i hate deep dives
3 bulk detonators in 5 minutes of spawning
and then 3 swarms right after one another
So tried this week’s deep dive elite. Oh. My. God
The Elite threat is a horror show.
Leaving the pod feels like landing on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day
having 3 black boxes doesnt help lol
I main driller and can’t think of a build to even help
i just did cryo cannon and froze everything so my team could live more
That’s what I main is snowball cryo with wave cooker
My only thought is everyone run Iron Will
i was using snow storm and plasma gun
i think we used all of our iron wills on every stage
like 12
Don’t have the snow storm overclock yet
snow storm + cold radiance is great
I know we got past it once and the explosive packs on the 3rd got us
i was on high alert just to freeze the exploders
Gonna keep at it but holy shit
i have faith king/queen 
I’m he/him. But thanks
kinggg
i love doing haz 6 content to get a clean OC 😎
I have been meaning to find a good grind method for OCs
thursdays
Thursday’s?
thats when deep dives and the core hunt resets
Oh I am aware the resets. I didn’t know if there was good thing to grind the overclocks
the only way to get OCs other than weekly stuff is promotions
Ah ok. I just hit first star silver the other day
XP mutators help with speeding up the promotion grind but would have to check each mission reset (30 mins)
Nothing to do except play more, try to get all machine events
Don't leave blanks in your inventory
If you get double XP do that to get to 25 faster
What I expected. Well at least I love playing the game
The real grind is for cosmetics
OCs will be done soon
is there a lot of gold in edd? just drank pots o gold for the fortune
Depends but nothing special about gold generation in edd
But since deep dive beers give 3 mission bonuses for 1 beer can be worth it
Question is can you survive all the time spent mining
Edd can get hard

nah, this edd was a breeze, tho we managed to mine only 1030 gold
but i believe this number can grow up to 1,5k since the last stage we were just drilling from one cocoon to another and to bb
Decent haul if you didn't have to spend too much time mining
The welcome channel 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️
It's a puzzle. What can you do in the welcome channel
There you go, you figured it out
Why is the EDD 2nd Phase Black Box so brutal? 💀
imagine seeing an elite bulk spawn during the uplink
because that happened to me
guess who didn't win that run 🙃
Because different people have different skill level and you'll see "this edd is easy" and "this edd is hard" every week for every dive
Happened to me too, twice. I though it was supposed to be normal but apparently it’s random lol
deep dives are random and so is rockpox
though I think you have a higher chance if you do have the season enabled
maybe not, not sure if that applies to deep dives
I believe there is a flat bonus to the credits you receive at the end of the DD and EDD. So its not really worth your time to mine Gold as you will get lots of credits at the end anyway.
.
oh i thought they approve a specific generation for everything
😃
zero percent chance of rockpox swarms if the season is disabled, and i think also if you're in solo? will need to double check the last one
What haz level are elite deep dives at?
regular dive: 3, 3.5, 3.5
elite dive: 4.5, 5, 5.5
Damn
not sure about the first, should just be a very low chance I believe?
solo can get rockpox swarms for sure, I've gotten too many of them
looks like it's zero percent outside of lithophage outbreak, i didn't realize that they were spawnable solo
With 2 or 3 warnings
Yeah they often have stuff like lethal enemies that make it even worse
yea the 2nd stage Black Box is like the biggest obstacle to success on this EDD. Elites+Blackbox, and pressured to do it first to avoid the swarm buildup on point extration.
also sometimes I had a bulk spawn on stage 2
Do it immediately on spawning
Some things are fixed, unlike normal missions, but there can still be spawn variation
Map is fixed
it says 15% of default missions too, normal missions can have rockpox swarms
Alright gonna attempt Deep Dive Elite. I refuse to be defeated
5hours 🙏
Hey I know I'm late asking but what's the mission order on the edd?
pinned msg
Thx
Dude the black box is what got me killed stage 3. The dreadnoughts were brutal, especially the one that spawned beneath all those spires.
for stage three I failed at the hiveguard dreadnought because despite clearing the spires with c4, the uneven ground stopped me and my buddy from getting distance. I did a 2nd attempt solo, by clearing out the Classic dread room first since the room was larger and lured the hiveguard there.
I have no idea how to handle the blackbox stage 3 solo without a gunner though, shields are my crutch for this deep dive. If you have a driller+engi pair you could build a bunker to cheese it probably.
I was doing it solo.
Just finished the DD. That Haunted Cave at the end got me over and over. I hate that. I cant split my attention very much, so I Cant keep track of him. I would turn around from killing a grunt and see him at my nose.
if anyone is up to help us with EDD please see the invite at #lfg-steam
Hey I'm brand spanking new to the game can anyone pick me up and show me where some stuffs at? I'm at like 80% download but it's going fast.
What’s a deep dive?
deep dives are a special mission type you can play after having promoted at least one character
they have 3 stages, increasing in difficulty throughout each stage, and have special objectives
the secondary objective is replaced with a second primary objective and is required to progress
nitra & your remaining ammo carry over between stages, but limited-use perks regain their uses
you can not join a deep dive in-progress, you must join the lobby before it starts to participate
you receive one weapon overclock, one cosmetic overclock, and one blank matrix core for a deep dive, and these rewards are once a week
there's also the elite deep dive, which is more difficult (regular deep dive is a bit harder than haz3, elite is roughly haz5)
you can do both the regular and elite deep dive in the same week & get rewards for both
deep dives will also not contain extra events or minerals, but do contain gold
@vernal star hope that helps
what is the best gunner loadout for elite deep dive?
There's never a definitive one
Thank you!
np
Yea no definitive one. But some recommendations, for this week theres a lot of defending blackboxes, so movement can be limited. Carpet bomb or Neurotoxin with fear, or Minelayer system would be useful but likely need a strong single target secondary for the stage 3 elimination sections.
Hellfire with fear would also help for blackboxes, but the terrain mostly being wide open on the blackboxes can make it a bit annoying to line up the swarms. I ran with this one with Leadstorm^2 since I don’t have the first 3 OCs mentioned. Blackbox defending is a bit more difficult for me this way but once those are done I can handle swarms and dreadnaughts easily
Leadburster nades can be helpful for elite praetorians during blackbox defending. And for stage 2 bulks (sometimes they spawn, or dont spawn at all). My suggestions here are for this week’s EDD btw.
Hmm, that brings up a good question, what are the loadout recommendations for the other classes for this week’s EDD?
For driller, General use Cryo cannon + Nerotoxin worked really well. Keeps the team safe during black box'es and helps to increase team DPS on the dread fight.

I hate leadbursters, incendiaries are way less likely to tag you in "oh fuck" moments I've found
Also, sustained denial of area, can kill bots, from swarmers to caretaker limbs, as soon as they get a heat proc
Also, iirc, gunner has some mods that allow +damage against burning enemies
whats deep dive
A later game type of mission where you unlock matrix cores after presteige:ing with at least one class

no time for horniness on deep dive. we still have a job to do.
Usually i use incendiaries also, but I had spawns for bulks on stage 2 so leadbursters may be clutch there depending on how unlucky you are
For this EDD I’ve mostly used them for bulks, yellow health bars for dreads and tunnels. Very situational but this week’s dive allows for it. Clusters should also be useful to stun swarms during blackbox
We had to clear the EDD this week with three people, only missing an engi
Our Engi just left for some reason on the first stage but we went through anyway
and cleared it
I was the gunner
I had to clear it solo
. My squad was tired out by the time we cleared stage 2 and lost on the first try of stage 3
Nice
Yea, clutch cuz of big open rooms
I've never actually bothered testing this since I prefer other grenades, but I heard bugs avoid incendiary's fire, if true then only the initial explosion is useful
i've had this happen often I think, but not too sure if they're actively avoiding it or that the ones approaching the burning path had already died.
at least it's consistent and saves some ammo. Clusters sometimes just bounce at weird spots, and chucking leadburster under tanks/dreads can get tricky depending on terrain.
I swap out incendiary for cluster/leadburster if I have to defend a position with minimal room to move around in
Sticky grenade is also good for caretaker arms
Idk

May the depths of Hoxxes bring you great riches and unforgettable missions -- Rock and Stone! 
oh at least there are no dreads on EDD
oops all salvage on the primary lmao
Fk escort
Ahh for a sec I was excited about the EDD then I saw critical weakness
I hate it out of how much easier it feels
Go AoE and it wont matter 
:)
Or have a cryo driller lol
Vampire cryo driller 
Since this stage has shield disruption
the bubble-like terrain can be removed by a driller if the bb is on top of it for stage 3
other than that nothing much
weird ass escort at the startbthough
doretta spawning in the next cave over and then immediately starting her expedition with a 360 nosedive got a good laugh out of me, i haven't seen that combo before lmao
ive seen 360 nosedives or flying drilling, but spawning into the next cave was something else
how can I write in other chats
read #welcome-and-rules and pick roles
thanks
I haven't noticed behaviour like this, I mainly pop incendiaries on routes bugs can't avoid, for eg, the kill tunnel in driller bunkers
If by tanks you mean praets and oppressors, def don’t use bursters on those
https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/Tactical_Leadburster
https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/Damage#Piercing
Yeah, they got a 30% damage resistance to Piercing damage. Which is what Leadbursters Deal
Rock and Stone! Im willing to go into my first deep dive with my mates, we are all greenbeards tho lol, is It really hard?
I mean we need to complete the 3 stages to get the reward?
you guys will be fine if you are able to finsih hazard 3 missions for DD
Nice
each stage gives 1 reward
weapon overclock on 1, blank matrix on 2nd, cosmetic overclock on the 3rd iirc
Excelent, thx
Normal deep dives are as hard haz 3 missions, so you'll be fine
each stage has its own reward which you get when finishing said stage
so if you want the weapon overclock but already finished stage 2, you get it regardless of what happens on stage 3
That sounds really nice, tks, gotta try it
good luck 
🍺🍻
This needs to be a quote on a tee shirt
Ah ok, i know about the oppressors but didnt know prae are resistant
Mostly focused on prae and bulks
here, have your mute. No ban speedrun for you.
lol guessing they chose this chat because they didnt take any time on the welcome page
I finished EDD, team of 4 gunners so it was funny
I went fire build, but it turned out to be kinda a doom for myself, lol
if you could see dozens of ziplines around the cave in stage 3
I only regret not taking build based on fear factor, because man, I underestimated how bug can bite hard with Lethal Enemies, worse than shield disruption on Stage 3 (which was annoying too, we devoured all sugar found)
We had beer for 1-hit mining, so we managed with tricky terrain for refining, but otherwise we'd need driller or engi
That's....not correct, blank is on the 1st, weapon on the 2nd, cosmetic on the 3rd
Ok i gotta ask how much red sugar spawns in wave 3 edd
why don't i have permission to join the voice channels? <@&296918282403840000>
ty

Yeah stage 3 is hard without good team cooperation
Two area defence objectives with shield disruption on third stage is a hard combination
Long as a team and I can clear the first two stages I'm fine
Still unlocking all the weapon overclocks
stage 3 suuuuuuuucks
just lost a solo after i got everything done cause i barely missed a red sugar
My team just got massacred
My scout left on stage 3
Everyone but me had over 10 downs it was awful took a whole hour
We had around 10 downs each xD
Black box was basically throwing shields one after another, lol (it was still a nightmare to stay alive)
But ye, the map is hard to bunker up, there's small region behind refinery and around two wells, but they might be too small to kite swarm
Also we had stingtails and Wardens >:(
Only thing that would make it 10 times worse would be having septics
The build I went with was fire minigun and necrocatalyst coilgun. Without Born Ready. 
Id like to try again, this time with my beloved Carpet Bomber with fear factor. Dunno about secondary, maybe Bulldog or Brrt
Damn, maybe I should host some lobbies for it to help get some people through, lmk if anyone wants to join

For me and my team it was swarmers mainly
Had someone complaining it felt like a swarmageddon ontop a shield disruption
But I will literally not ever down no matter what so it didn’t matter
Breach cutter lure stubby combo goes brr hehe funny carry time
Step 1: Be me
aight need to find someone to teach me doppelganger tech
😑 imaging getting banned for saying left a 3 dwarf edd team at the beginning
someone disconnected at loading, i told host to restart, wont listen. i was like ok im leaving gl
the disconnected guy can potentially join back
not in DDs afaik
Yeah in DDs people who started out can rejoin.
It's essential for people like me with unreliable internet
Always good to see other carpet bomber enjoyers
Interesting that you run it with fear though.
but this thing is buggy af, sometimes you cant
Just realized I only play with friends hosting and rejoin through Steam. I'll take your word for it that trying to rejoin a game with strangers is buggy
thing is they just started, like, literally no reason cant just restart
and i was not banned from that room, but the next one where i was talking about that cuz the guy who dc also joined so i asked to make sure if he was the dc
The game scales with playercount, so you don't lose much by playing with 3 people over 4. So forcing a restart is equally silly as not restarting.
that's good to know. i still dont wanna do edd without scout
especially the other 2's lv are low
Fair, then leaving was the right call for you. But coming here and complaining about them is pointless
true, just wanna letting off some steam

hi
any spanish players looking for 2?
Dos amigos?
Hi everyone
just finished EDD with my squad today, took 2 attempts since we got wiped early blackbox stage 3. Was intense without a shield and so many tiny swarmer bugs constantly. Think we had to deal with at least 4 or 5 swarm reports from mission control. We collected as much nitra as we could from stage 1 and 2 and called in like 5 or 6 supply drops, used all of it to get us out to the escape pod.
one of the pumps was also hidden behind a wall, thankfully a buddy called it out that theres a cave next to a wall when they checked the map. 2 Engi 1 Driller team and we made full use of the platforms and drills to set up the pipes.
yeah why did i agree to that, man
The part where we actually lost is stage 2 lmao
The dirt leads to the abyss when dug incorrectly
oh yea at the start right?
my team approached the abyss at the start and Im like .... lets just try the safer path behind first
driller pale weapon skin for me 
Guessing without a driller for stage 3, a large chunk of the pipes would be on platforms right?

half of my team's pipes were platforms mixed with tunnels
For one, for the others I tried finding thin walls + some platforms
I pretended I was a Driller
there's one he made a really thin tunnel for ^
idk it looked like a swarmer tunnel
it was almost insulting
One time I dug through a geyser which exploded on my face
There was really a lot of Nitra on this EDD
I just spam shields every wave, we still had like 200 after the end?

the swarmers on edd stage 3 are so rough
to the point where i felt like i got good cryo grenade value just using it on them
really glad that I have persistent plasma and disperser compounds for Driller when I filled the role for the team, I panic fire those at swarmers/grunts near me each wave
Grab a role in #welcome-and-rules
I’m trying it won’t let me. Can a mod just give me some random role
Scout will always struggle against swarmers, best you can do is just zip to a driller or gunner and hide behind
i cant type in any of those channels
corrosive sludge pump
fire bolts
cryo bolts
aggressive venting is also pretty good at killing them
bro what
idk if any of you guys are in this discord, but to the deep dive lobby with Siegfried, LVL 1 Goblin, and Paras220, i'm sorry I lost connection the moment the mission started 😓 it's been happening a lot lately for some reason
i wish there was some way to get back in to deep dives
Any tips for the black box in this week's EDD? Its spawning position seems a bit hard to defend to me.
my lobby dug the black box down to get it to the same height as the ground in that area, makes it easier with handling the grunts
you could ask an engineer with repellant to platform one side of the black box top area to prevent bugs from going there frequently as well
how hard is the current edd to solo?
You can, but only through your steam friends list. If you got disconnected from a DD you can rejoin if you are friend with someone still in it by just hitting the join button in their steam profile. Otherwise you are outa luck.
hey hey

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!
_ _
My party tried that but dug a hole a bit too deep and ended turning the box area into an easy dwarf killzone. 
Digging a bit less + repellant sounds good. Thanks. 
escort is always annoying solo since you have to kill stuff and repair doretta yourself
the blackbox in the 3rd stage is in a somewhat bad position but all classes can kinda deal with it, gunner has shield, scout has grenades, engineer wants to build platforms to increase the area and driller can probably kill most things but if you get pushed from the area it might be a pain to get back up, I guess you could just dig it down to "ground" level
there's a very high morkite geyser that probable only driller and engineer can get to comfortable, I made it go on the refinery then put a couple platforms to make the turn into the cave, but driller can just dig into it
aside of that, just your average edd, the bugs do bite hard in stage 2 though
EDD stage 3 was absolutely cursed. The Black Box is terrible and shield disrupt is awful with the sheer number of swarmers but my squad got a random Dreadnaught spawn
I was the Gunner and burned my shields pretty much back to back to keep it alive, even with the nitra abundance
We made it by the ghost of the skin of our teeth
Does this game have a long turm feature?
Idk if Bunkers are frowned upon but my team agreed to resort to it on stage 3.
I detonate c4 to the box to lower it to a better surface , dug down directly under it till my drill is at like 35% heat, placed another c4 at head height. Then dug about a 10-15 meter entrance tunnel, blew up the c4 and dug around the box to make it drop and engi platform with repellant to seal the ceiling.
We proceeded with the refinery stuff like normal after, but had to spam a lot of resupplies and go all out with our gadgets.
I have 0 issue with bunkers myself.
There was a swarm early in stage 3 though. So very likely need to survive it before finishing up the bunker. Ill use it if the team agrees with it. If not ill fully support how they want to play
A bunker is honestly a smart move for that box. A lot of people frown on them because it's boring for every situation but when used as a tactical Uno Reverse it's an amazing tool that can save a Dive
Thinking back, if I was playing Driller I would absolutely drop the box into a bunker for that one
I was at the last stage of my first deep dive, then my power went out
sideburns
fml
driller pale weapon skin for me 
Guessing without a driller for stage 3, a large chunk of the pipes would be on platforms right?
even with Driller, platforms can be really helpful stage 3, the terrain is bit annoying to work with.
is it better to pick improved generator or boosted converter for armor
can an Elite Deep Dive be completed by a Gunner Solo with 100+ hours in the game?
<@&296918282403840000>
dunno about this week cuz it's rough. but I completed an EDD solo as gunner last week. I think I had about 200 hrs at the time, started playing last month.
it does help if you have some strong overclocks though.
impressive
eheh, I have 3,200 bullets in my Minigun
there's been a lot of black box stages these past few elite dives. So some AoE focused overclocks are probably really helpful lately.
impressive
sure! <@&296918282403840000>
repellant goes crazy on stage 3 black box this week, we had the nicest kill corridor setup I dont think anyone needed to heal for duration of the event
It's basically 3 haz 3 missions, except you need to conserve ammo and nitra more carefully.
Well, maybe not this week, this weeks' we called plenty of resupplies and had 400 left at the end
I always play with teams because it goes faster, can't speak to what solo deep dives are like
hey
for some reason i cannot chat in the #drg-chat channel
but i can in here and in #deep-dive-speedrunning
anyone got a fix for that?
easy, read #welcome-and-rules and pick some roles
any materials carried/deposited are carried over and all ammo is carried over.
thank you
As such saving resups is important, and certain ammo efficient OCs/builds are more useful in a DD than regular games
sorry for pinging @burnt sandal i cant get roles even after picking them
<@&296918282403840000> anyone?
try again, they can get a little bit finnicky
been trying for sometime
can ya just manually assign it to me?
Cheers

how did your dive go
Did stage one, PC blue screened, went to bed because I had university tomorrow
Wasn't too much of a struggle, maybe because it wasn't elite
RIP, well you can repeat the dive as many times as you want until you manage to do all 3 stages
Ah, thanks bro

@gentle sentinel if u can coordinate, go in w/ 4 cryo drillers, it's basically cheating at that point
Ye completed on 3rd try, first tried 3 drill (2 ice 1 sludge) and a gunner, then 4 engie for memes and third just all classes xd
Last stage each time but died there

游戏时间超过100 小时的枪手 Solo 可以完成精英深潜吗?
not too bad, stage 3 gets pretty spicy though. You will need a good driller and engi to make the environment usable. Drill the black box flat and repellant the walls and box to make a kill corridor. Spend time farming nitra on stage 1 & 2 because you'll need it for the heals on stage 3. I think we had like 7 resups scattered around the map at one point so people have healing available to hand
& definitely run vampire, saved me a few times
i recommend you talk in english, since this server has multiple people of multiple nationalities inside.
answering your question, elite deep dives have hazard levels of 4.5, 5 and 5.5 for stages 1, 2 and 3, respectively. my best advice for completing elite deep dives is to get comfortable enough doing regular missions on hazard levels 4 and 5. if in those 100h you think you got enough experience as a solo gunner in those hazard levels, then you should be alright. yet, even if you don't, it doesn't hurt to try, since deep dives are replayable.

I didn't mind this weeks EDD too much, just have good CC for Eggs and Refinery and it ain't bad. Driller is definitely pretty nice this EDD without a doubt for lvl 3 Refinery and Black Box positioning
Stage 2 can be brutal but it wasnt too bad for me
Anyone wanna do a deep dive? Haven’t done one yet
How does one create a join game invite?
There is pinned message in #lfg-steam on how to do it
Sorry for using wrong chat but how can i acces the normal chat?
read #welcome-and-rules and grab some roles
Nvm done
Do supply pods in elite deep dives cost gold as well?
Only time it cost gold was back in alpha, I think. Might've also been in early early access. But since then it never cost gold. No exceptions
awesome, rock and stone
nope, only during alpha
in was already not a thing when EA hit the store
Was not here back then, hence the might've lol

Here's to Hoxxes, Huuli Hoarders, and hype for Season 05 -- Rock and Stone! 
...that's not too bad for EDD, I don't like the biome tho 
damn that`s a good EDD this week
good edd
Both dives sound great on paper. Hope we get some goofy ass map generation too
omlet week
EDD looks fun
looks chill
I have just promoted my first dwarf. Are the EDD's really that good compared to the rest of the missions, being only one mission longer? I'm just curious, I'm still going to enjoy it.
What does that mean?
both the regular deep dive and elite deep dive are 3 missions long, each with a set of 2 primary objectives, rather than 1 primary and 1 secondary. They are fun because of the ramping difficulty, resources carrying over and rewards
I meant if there was a big difference with the regular missions. Also if a higher level of skill was needed.
Thanks, I'm still relatively new to some game styles, I wanted to ask before I go on a mission and get stuck for an hour and a half.
or more
No problem, normal deep dive is quite manageable - if you want to be sure then look up the objectives before you dive and build something that suits
the deep dive this week has industrial sabotage and a dreadnaut so you want something suited to this
nothing too difficult on the deep dive, mactera plague might be quite rough on sabotage
Regular deep dive is Haz 3 (stage 1) Haz 3.5 (stage 2 & 3)
Industrial Sabotage is usually long in itself, depending on the generation of the cave. I will try one later. Thanks for the advice.
not bad, i will do it
it's good for a few reasons. You get 3 matrix cores per weekly dive (once you get all for both dives, you don't get extras from them), you have to kinda be a little more conscious about nitra expenses and resource gathering, and the maps tend to be a little more weird, but it's the same generation for everyone, so it's fun to see if you can go any better than last try
Also keep in mind there are no crafting materials that you can mine on deep dives
Still, mineral horders may spawn
welp just finished EDD, really easy this time
Had to go scout though since stage 1 nitra is scarce
stage 2 had plenty to carry over to last stage
stage one of the EDD gave me two broken resupply pods, one with one resupply slot and the other with two slots available. didn't need to call a resupply (solo dive), so that was p4etty neat
i do agree that EDD stage one is rather nitra scarce for a salvage mission though
lots of mini mules in both dives this week, so nitra management is easier than usual
Getting some mixed signals about nitra here
👉👈
enough nitra to work with for stage one, but since it's Dense Biozone, it's scattered and can be easy to miss or take a while to find 
Any1 Here on Playstation?
How much nitra are we looking at for the DD?
Anyone on steam want to do deep dive?
yup
im doing a deep dive does anyone wana join?
Question- last time I checked, regular DD difficulty was 3.5, 4, 4.5. Was it nerfed at some point? Or did I get misinfo?
regular is 3, 3.5, 3.5 iirc
Yeah ik that now, I'm wondering whether that's a change or smth that ppl made wrong assumptions about
I started playing last July and it’s still the same
Man, stage 3 this EDD is painful
Why can’t I join any voice channels?
role in #welcome-and-rules
Looking at wiki history up to november 2020, they've always been 3 and 3.5
What was it I forgot
What I remember of it was that our gunner was super behind for the final run to drop and I went back to get him
Sludgeclutch overclock confirmed???
ROCK AND STONE
swarmageddon was just constant bugs, just finished the edd. Bet-C on stage 2 was also a good time
poor greenbeard engi went down 35 times
triple tech saved me on those

Thanks.
nitra expenses
checks 800 nitra in deposit on stage end
sounds about right
tbf, normal dive this week was very generous with it, but you know what I'm talking about lmao
maybe if it was long time ago, but i havent been nitra starved in a long time, whether im in a team or not, i tend to do scout's job of mining nitra regardless of a class, and i dont play missions 1h long (unless ofc we are rebuilding whole biozone in a pipecoaster)
(mining nitra on that ceiling as a gunner)
yeah, last few weeks it's been fairly okay on nitra for me too, but I remember when I started to get the hang of it and last stage EDD being brutal
oh yeah, love to do that too
drilling a bunch of ant tunnels to get minerals while scout is busy scouting
being good in game feels like curse sometimes, i can honestly probably even do a stage or two without a single resup
scouting something else, so im looking at a ceiling with laserpointer swinging around trying to get that nitra ping in a cave no dwarf ever stepped in
i dont trust scouts, im bored of playing scout main but i feel like i have to or else i'll actually join scout killing coalition for not providing a single flare of light in past 15 minutes
Me and my bro did the DD yesterday. Started with us, a green beard, and a lvl 2000+ guy. Green beard double dips on first resup so greybeard quits game. Greeny was gunner and I was driller so I ask for zip line on top of the bot. He just starts the fight anyway then quits. Me and bro finished the fight and did the rest of the DD. Turns out all we needed was each other :’)
okay then
oh this second stage is wack
mission type where you have to stay in one place for an extended period of time
in the biome where exploders are area denial for around 5 seconds
with the warning that makes them spawn way more often
good thing they die in one hit
Good morning guys
Mods are quick, wow
Anyway, is someone else having problems with the Deep Dive? I played the EDD yesterday at night just fine, now I'm trying to play the regular DD and the game tells me it cannot reach the Deep Dive data base
This never happened to me before
I’m having problems too, can’t seem to play them
Having issues even with missions this morning. Might be more than just deep dives affected.
Yeah, we are pretty much playing offline it seems, but with further handicaps. Can't connect to anyone, no online lobbies available to join, can't play Deep Dives, can't pick assignments
There's definitely something wrong going on
no clue whats up but yes also seeing the deep dives issue
meh, it's only a concern if it lasts throughout the entire weekend.
hopefully those who didn't finish their DD yet get a go before next thurs.
Anyone else having issues with accessing the deep dives on Xbox or windows store?
everyone has the issue. assuming it's gonna be fixed next morning or something. if not then i guess I'll finally have an excuse to dip into a new game while waiting 
So, Listening to Ascendant on audible (fantasy - boy saves dragon egg, hatches dragon, (not sitting on it)- well books starts off pretty meh, but gets better after a few hrs.. least doesn't seem like it's a age 8-12 book at the start, ~It starts to age up a little.. / Is very much a growing up story not par with 'the name of the wind' but it brought a tear to my eye.. straying from topic..
It has a Rock and Stone quote in it (all be it saying rock and stone as part of a sentence however feel it's enough reason to share with fellow rock and stone lovers. so meh if you get 10:09 hours into the book you could hear it too??
Any news about the connectivity / server issue?
not at this time
@next pebble Thanks for the update!
Are we allowed to share video playthroughs of the deep dives here?
I don't seem to have access to the main drg chat. Do I get permissions after a certain amount of time, or what's the deal there?
roles in #welcome-and-rules
You can use the gallery channel I guess
I think they did
i just finished EDD tho
dang congrats! cant get past stage 2... keep getting overwhelmed
Hey guys, sorry to message here but for some reason I can’t type in majority of chats. Any idea why/what do I need to do to be able to access them?
#welcome-and-rules go through this page and select your roles
Thanks a lot
Glad to see no bosses on this week's EDD. Mules being in easy locations helped a lot too. 
We’re rich
I understand the servers are down again? Yesterday there was such a topic, what's going on with their servers, who knows?
ROCK AND STONE!
do yall have any tips how to beat elite deep dive solo
If you can do haz 5 solo then you should be mostly good, aside of warnings and stuff
for this particular one, you want to have some decent crowd control for the swarmaggedon
but that stage also has boots and you should have like 500 nitra if you mined all of it in the previous levels so you can go ham with resupply healing
if you're not scout, having bosco's light upgrade allows you to see the minerals in the cave much faster and imo it's better than 1 revive since spending less time on the caves means less things can go wrong
the usual keep moving stuff

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!
_ _
Id say check this discord's pins to know what objectives/anomalies/warnings of the deep dive so you can better prepare what to bring
I almost screwed myself by bringing SBB drak on stage 3 shield disruption
Oh. And practice on haz 5 when playing regular gamemode
Since EDD stages are 4/5/5.5 respectively
Hey guys I just joined the server. I don't have access to any of the text channels except this and deep dive speed running. I know this probably isn't the place for it, but I can't speak anywhere else. How do I gain access to things like #drg-chat ?
Nevermind guys it's fixed
español
Ty I will defo try hazard 5 solo after I unlock it
Give me possession of the ball
#fan-communities has a spanish only fan server. you can join it if you want
I’m having problems too, can’t seem to play them
read #welcome-and-rules and get some roles, then post in #bug-discussion
omg
deep rock galactic
is the best server on earth
fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr
omggggg
ahhhhh
🤨
doing my first deep dive ever
many of my friends who play with me are offline
so doing it solo
as scout
wish me luck
yo, how'd it go?
2 mules and 1 dreadnaut elimination
ye
You can't join deep dives mid game.
You also can't join them with a non-promoted dwarf.
You have to be at least Bronze I for deep dives.
yep! I have promoted my driller once
based
yee, been playing a little over a week now
I did my very first one solo too, if you can play Haz 4/5 comfortably with a team then the regular deep dive won't be tougher, it'll just take more time.
Likewise, a regular decent haz 5 player should not struggle too much with EDDs.
bet bet
can not host side load a mod for more nitra?
my deep dive had like 1000, we had 870 at the end despite using 4 ressuplies
such shenanigans are definitely possible and lamentable, though absurd nitra at the end of a normal DD is also not uncommon
h
Ive not seen 800+ nitra in 1500 hours
agreed, that's a bit steep
For the regular deep dive this week? My time had at least 640 despite not fully exploring the last level, that seems like a lot tho
wdsdas
just lost an edd on stage 3 because windows bugged out and i couldnt see the game
Blind dwarf mission
would anyone like to do the deepdive with me? the last two attempts I/we lost on stage two right when the drop pod was powering up
the server password is ForRockAndStone
unless i made a typo somewhere
i hate this deep dive
i hate radioactive exploder crap
i greatly dislike where the broken supply pods are placed
Is there any Mission to get bitter gems i have 155 Mission Played and Not found one i play on playstation i wanna get the Trophy
this is not the chatroom for that
they're a random find, low chance
Ohhh so thats Not a discord where you can get help
it is but the right chat for that is #drg-chat
which you'll be able to access once you've read #welcome-and-rules and picked some roles
are there any dreads or caretakers in the edd
I like rock music
Aren't deadnaughts random in edd? If not i dont think i ran into one durring my run but i may have forgotten
Ones in cocoons are seeded and entirely consistent, ones that appear randomly in place of a swarm aren't
Can the ps5 version cross play with Xbox and pc?
I think they did
Burger
no, each platform is separate, except xbox/microsoft store, I think
hi
