Firts stage

#

This is absolutely outrageous

eager atlas
#

you're the first person I've seen mention that and it's the third day already

wraith shard
#

It happened again

#

On a regular mission

#

Im missing 35 morkite

#

And scooped the whole map out with my buddys

#

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

Why can I type here but nowhere else

Help

#

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

naive beacon
#

unreasonably is subjective

steady stream
#

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

hybrid granite
#

why con't I talking in another channel:(

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.

Hi

#

How to write in any chat?

burnt sandal
mellow pier
#

is there a scout build wat can destroy everything solo and if there is one wat is it

rancid cedar
#

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

mellow pier
#

okay thx but wat primary should i use wich it

eager atlas
#

whatever you feel like using, if you want crowd control on the primary, electrifying reload gk and aggressive venting drak are good options too.

rancid cedar
# mellow pier okay thx but wat primary should i use wich it

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)

odd oxide
#

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...

wheat osprey
#

do yall know what the eilte deep dives missions are?

mossy atlas
#

First one is low o2 200 morkite and 2 eggs

burnt sandal
vestal sapphire
odd oxide
#

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

raven carbon
#

Nice

#

Yeah I can imagine bug pheromone bolts being stinky

That's also good

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!

Get a driller or suffer

Refining with no driller is asking for suffering either way.

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

rocky ridge
#

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

rocky ridge

#

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

rocky ridge
#

Probably but 1st stage doesn't give much nitra for 2nd stage

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

#

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.

thats when deep dives and the core hunt resets

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)

Don't leave blanks in your inventory

If you get double XP do that to get to 25 faster

is there a lot of gold in edd? just drank pots o gold for the fortune

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.

What’s a deep dive?

still geode
#

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?

grand pasture
#

There's never a definitive one

np

indigo drift
# safe radish what is the best gunner loadout for elite deep dive?

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.

indigo drift
#

Hmm, that brings up a good question, what are the loadout recommendations for the other classes for this week’s EDD?

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

#

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

Hi everyone

indigo drift
#

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.

# shy marten how hard is the current edd to solo?

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

# sand juniper Any tips for the black box in this week's EDD? Its spawning position seems a bit...

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.

sand juniper
#

I have 0 issue with bunkers myself.

indigo drift
#

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

lime hollow
#

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

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

# wraith shard 游戏时间超过100 小时的枪手 Solo 可以完成精英深潜吗?

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.

Weekly newsletter!:

  • Ghost Ship Games's On The Horizon broadcast begins <t:1714046400:R>, which will be live on both Youtube and Twitch. It'll give us news about Season 05, Rogue Core, and some dev talk with Ghost Ship Publishing's studios. The agenda can be found in #announcements, so check that out if you want to know what's happening when.

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!

Here's to Hoxxes, Huuli Hoarders, and hype for Season 05 -- Rock and Stone! rocknstone

...that's not too bad for EDD, I don't like the biome tho breather

#

damn that`s a good EDD this week

Both dives sound great on paper. Hope we get some goofy ass map generation too

EDD looks fun

#

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.

lost valve
#

What does that mean?

jolly herald
#

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

slow island
slow island
#

or more

jolly herald
#

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

jolly herald
slow island
#

Industrial Sabotage is usually long in itself, depending on the generation of the cave. I will try one later. Thanks for the advice.

Also keep in mind there are no crafting materials that you can mine on deep dives

Still, mineral horders may spawn

indigo drift
#

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

drifting tinsel
#

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

brittle quartz
#

lots of mini mules in both dives this week, so nitra management is easier than usual

onyx dirge
#

Getting some mixed signals about nitra here breather 👉👈

indigo drift
#

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 breather

How much nitra are we looking at for the DD?

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?

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

hearty geyser
#

drilling a bunch of ant tunnels to get minerals while scout is busy scouting

velvet saddle
#

being good in game feels like curse sometimes, i can honestly probably even do a stage or two without a single resup

#

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 :’)

burnt sandal
#

okay then

reef girder
#

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

eager atlas
#

good thing they die in one hit

#

Good morning guys

open tide
#

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

patent herald
#

I’m having problems too, can’t seem to play them

ebon horizon
#

Having issues even with missions this morning. Might be more than just deep dives affected.

open tide
#

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

violet kraken
#

no clue whats up but yes also seeing the deep dives issue

indigo drift
#

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.

wispy stag
#

Anyone else having issues with accessing the deep dives on Xbox or windows store?

indigo drift
#

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 drillchamp

pine cosmos
#

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??

supple sorrel

Any news about the connectivity / server issue?

not at this time

#

do yall have any tips how to beat elite deep dive solo

eager atlas
#

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

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 ?

You can't join deep dives mid game.

ohhhhh

#

ok thank you!

#

I'm tryna do my first one but don't wanna do it alone

sand juniper
#

You also can't join them with a non-promoted dwarf.

#

You have to be at least Bronze I for deep dives.

tired oak

yep! I have promoted my driller once

tired oak
#

yee, been playing a little over a week now

sand juniper
#

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.

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
