[mellow cradle]

somewhat

if you were to go solo

and if not, someone else will take care of it

[jolly herald]

can yeah but it will take ammo and time, i'd not run MPA hog if i was solo tbh

better to take Lok1

[mellow cradle]

I did this EDD solo this week (because we had 5 people willing to play, so I raced the other four people)
I did it with EXE/Inferno

[jolly herald]

nice

EXE too stronk

[mellow cradle]

indeed

(I was faster by 16 minutes lel)

[candid thorn]

mpa is... ?

[mellow cradle]

magnetic pellet alignment overclock

[candid thorn]

i got like one oc for the warthog and it's a clean

lol

[jolly herald]

some warthog cleans are okay

especially with turret whip

[candid thorn]

i mean if you think about it all cleans are ok

if you don't have any unstable or errrr

yellow

[jolly herald]

sure

[candid thorn]

overclocks

[misty wedge]

this is the only channel I have the right to type

I dunno why tho

[pure cliff]

read #welcome-and-rules and get some roles

[eager atlas]

spawn pool is fixed, but rng says what comes or goes

[marble thistle]

Thinking of doing solo EDD with scout - Bullets of Mercy and Embedded dets + IFGs

I think with a good beer I should be able to

[jovial lichen]

blackbox and the refining (haven't seen the pump locations yet) could be though

[chilly shore]

black box is in a nice spot and pumpjacks are also fine

[flint widget]

You can see two of the wells from where the rig spawns

the other one is pretty close by

[eager charm]

a friend of mine kills every lootbug they see

[burnt sandal]

good

[fervent flame]

Nice

[eager charm]

also anyone know why i cant chat in the drg chat

[fervent flame]

Get the role

#lfg-modded-steam

[jovial lichen]

that was only my second week doing EDD's so I want to ask the greybeards out there, was this week's EDD particularly easy or was last week's harder than usual?

[chilly shore]

both

[zenith ember]

Both yeah, but i dont remember what is hard about last week's

[chilly shore]

mainly stage 2 hot drop into a million turrets
and stage 3 elite enemies

[zenith ember]

oh yeah that drop into hotspot

[icy sparrow]

Did my second solo EDD

really fun actually

[raven carbon]

Both were on opposite ends of the difficulty scale. Usually they're more in the middle.

[thorny wave]

i was so exited to get my ass kicked because i haven't played deep rock in a long time and then this elite deep dive was the easiest i've ever played😭 🥲

[sterile herald]

whats with the massive huuli hoarder spawnrate on deep dives

[eager atlas]

they have something like 1/7 spawn rate, so with 6 levels per week they are kinda common

[twin ether]

Why is this the only chat I can speak on?

[light horizon]

[mellow cradle]

get some roles in #welcome-and-rules

thanks

[twilit saddle]

what are the missions in this weeks deep dive?

refinery with DN, eggs with black box, and salvage with DN right?

[vast crystal]

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!
_ _

[young locust]

anyone else notice weird electricity in the air in the 3rd phase of the deep dive?

[whole frigate]

That's the visual effect that appears for shield disruption.

[muted granite]

Hey guys, wanted to know if i can do multiple of the same deep dives in a week in order to grind OverClocks

[still geode]

you can do the deep dive again, but you will not receive additional matrix cores or overclocks for repeated completions of the same dive

you will still receive gold & xp (but it is generally not an efficient method of getting these compared to regular missions)

you can however do both the regular deep dive & the elite deep dive and get a reward for both

[muted granite]

when do deep dives reset?

[still geode]

every week

[stable wing]

hello can anyone play with me

[still geode]

mission control here will give information about the deep dive resetting

[mellow cradle]

next reset is exactly at <t:1716462000:D> (hover over to see the time)
and they reset every thursday at the same time

make sure to do the core assignment and the elite dive too

[muted granite]

ah, so just a few more days to go, and to hope for getting a overcharge i actually use 😄

[stable wing]

how to talk in mian channel

[mellow cradle]

get some roles in #welcome-and-rules

[young locust]

How the hell have I not noticed this in over a year of consistent playing bruh

Is that not a thing on Xbox?

Most of the time after I switched to pc I used a particle remover mod to improve performance but I don’t get how I never noticed when I played on Xbox

[rain crypt]

Hi, im sorry for off top but how do i get access to drg-chat?

[tired pumice]

Get the role in #welcome-and-rules

[rain crypt]

how

when i click on a role nothing happens

[tired pumice]

Does reacting usually break for you

[jolly herald]

EDD super easy

last stage a bit spicy if you dont keep on top of elite bug waves at the bottom of the pit

[whole frigate]

I can't speak for the console version since idk if it has reduced particles that make it less noticeable. But pc version does have it pretty noticeable unless you mod it out.

[karmic wraith]

I'm an xbox player. The visual effect is there. Just very easy to miss since it doesn't spark very fast. It's a cool visual but tuned back to the point where it shouldn't be distracting in missions

[olive snow]

Did anyone else had a hiveguard on the edd stage 2

[eager atlas]

that's some luck you got there, those are rng

[raven carbon]

Ouch

Was it during the black box

[jolly herald]

No but we did get a nemesis spawn while we were waiting for molly to get to the drop pod

[cold kindle]

Nemesis can spawn during swarms

I thought he's like crassus detonator,

I mean spawns only once during cave generation

[eager atlas]

nemesis can spawn at any time during Rival Presence

[cold kindle]

💀

[eager atlas]

Dreadnoughts are swarm replacements on missions with timed swarms

[cold kindle]

Yeah i remember that on previous edd we was playing stage 2 and nemesis just showed up

I thought "what the hell did this bastard just lurked somewhere and now he's showed up?"

[cold kindle]

This happened to me too

Edd stage 1

"Something big approaching you team"

Glyphid dreadnought

[crude cobalt]

a

[spiral badge]

Normal DD had a heckuva lotta nayakas, holy crap

[dire sand]

does anyone have any tips for edd stage 3 as i always get there but fail

[mellow cradle]

elite enemies require high damage to take down, bring strong single target options
coordinate with your team to not trigger multiple egg or mule waves at once
take your defending position into account, defending in the pit (with all the corals blocking vision too) might not be ideal as bugs can crawl down on you from all sides
statuses like fear, pheromones, and slowdowns are strong against elite enemies

[dire sand]

is it better to do them with 4 or less people

[mellow cradle]

it's best to do with a team that you can trust, the count doesn't matter

[exotic birch]

Yeah the game's scaling makes it so any number of dwarves is viable

But more dwarves means more possibilities for success and access to more mobility tools (assuming everyone brings a different class)

[dire sand]

is there any better engi build suited for the edd

[mellow cradle]

many builds will work

also better than what?

[dire sand]

which secondary best pairs with loci

[mellow cradle]

got any overclocks on it?

[dire sand]

no

[mellow cradle]

then I would simply take the breach cutter, to make up for the lack of immediate self defence on the loki

[dire sand]

what overclocks whould you say would be goood for loki

[mellow cradle]

there are only two choices really
Explosive Chemical Rounds and Executioner for crowd clear and single target damage respectively

[dire sand]

so whith ecplosive i go for the fire beam and executioner breach cutter

[mellow cradle]

yeah

for example

[dire sand]

is the guided spinning overclock on breach cuttter any good

[mellow cradle]

roll control?

[dire sand]

yes

[mellow cradle]

it's one of the best

[dire sand]

and its best paired with plasma trail?

[mellow cradle]

indeed

and wide beam

[viscid rapids]

What missions are in the current Deep Dives?

[lost valve]

Check pins

[cedar wraith]

Seeker rounds r also okay imo

[warped veldt]

seeker can potentially be a downgrade to the base gun, so its worth trying it out first before getting into a difficult mission with it

[jolly herald]

Stage 3 final room is spicy, Dedi is correct about where you fight - If you are engineering (based on your choice of weapons) consider abusing bug pathing with platforms to opposite sides of the room so you can quickly jump to safety when the elite bugs are running up on you.

[cunning wraith]

Were rich

[onyx dirge]

Yeah, barely made stage 3 solo scout, went through all my lives

[deep pulsar]

Hey guys, will they add more stuff for the extra perk points in the next update?

[mellow cradle]

nope

[cold kindle]

I passed edd stage 3 as gunner
I just collected all egs and repaired all mules asap

And spared a lot of nitra from previous stages

Like 400 nitra or smth

Even with this amount of nitra i died 3 times but thanks to bosco upgrades i survived

When 3 bosco revives really helpful

[sleek ginkgo]

we used to dig a bunker for all kind of swarms, but u must have enough wave cleaning fire power to kill everything that tries to break through the "bottleneck" (corridor that enters the bunker). And pray that detonator will not spawn, `cause that thing will demolish all the landscape that you and your teammates are using for cover. In this scenario driller must dig a second escape tunnel to the surface asap.

[scarlet oar]

For the escape route, build it beforehand but don't finish it, instead use a C4 charge to open it up with the press of a button when in need

[sleek ginkgo]

yes, exactly, but drillers usually don't do that for some reason and it takes eternity to explain

but it's a very valid point

I’m quite new to drg what is a deep dive?

[mellow cradle]

a set of 3 missions back to back with shared health, ammo, and resources

and you get matrix cores for completing it

@ember harness and here's a more precise introduction #deep-dive-discussion message

Thanks @mellow cradle

[vast crystal]

[umbral crow]

Rock and stone !!!!!!!!!!!!

[cold kindle]

To the bone!

Can't wait for new deep dives

Cuz i ran out of empty matrix cores

And i can't do machinery events cuz i have no matrix cores

I mean i can but i won't get main reward (overclock or cosmetic)

Only some credits and exp

[exotic birch]

Maybe the true reward is the rocks we stoned along the way

[coarse plume]

what hazards does the EDD have?

[quaint pasture]

4.5, 5, 5.5

i meant like the modifiers

like is there a haunted cave in there?

this week's elite dive looks REALLY good for speedrunning, might have to give that a try

[cold kindle]

Egg collection time team,alien eggs

Management needs them.Don't ask why

Should i try solo edd

Looks fine

[wraith shard]

Another absurdly easy EDD. Hopefully the next one will be harder

[cold kindle]

We'll see

[wraith shard]

prepare to be disappointed

[stable isle]

Where do you find that stuff

[jolly herald]

Why always easy EDD

snooze

[zenith ember]

yeah edd is easy

maybe not if unlucky w elite macteras

[jolly herald]

oh well more easy cores before Season 5 is nice i guess

[sand juniper]

Very easy EDD this week, great for greenbeards.

[potent frigate]

[cold kindle]

Damn

This week EDD is incredible ez

Even easier than previous week

For instance

I died less times than previous week and called only 2 resupplies

[sand juniper]

Another week goes by with me not being able to feel or tell the difference between Haz 5 and Haz 5.5. 🤔

[stoic falcon]

Hello, Im new here and am downloading as I type. Any veterans wanna show me around?

awesome! Definitely make a post in #lfg-steam and I am sure someone would help you out

[stoic falcon]

Thx buddie!

[bleak copper]

this EDD is pullable solo you say...

[warm urchin]

super easy

[pseudo citrus]

Anyone had a exploder or something run at you at like 1 million miles an hour

Happend to me in a salvage mission

[chilly shore]

classic exploder behavior

[pseudo citrus]

Oh I was gonna send a clip of a septic doing it but I can’t

[wraith shard]

i watched an exploder slide a solid 10ft into my teammate today

[waxen slate]

Yo I need some teammates for the new deep dive

[proud zealot]

wait until you come across an elite bulk detonator

[sand juniper]

Wanna see something F A S T ? Wait until you get an elite mactera grabber.

[fresh robin]

fuckin hell, this EDD was easy but also intense

also dont you hate it when your about to go back to droppod on the VERY last mission, a bulk detonator spawns?

\like come on, I got that on video as well

[karmic wraith]

Hey uhh, did anyone else get an elite bulk det on EDD stage 2. Cuz WTF

Shit was spooky

[buoyant wing]

I did

I also kept getting bulks on stage 3, such is life

[raven carbon]

I got bulks on stage 2 and 3 of regular deep dive

None on edd

But edd was super easy this time

After stage 1 I had to check in the menu if this was actually the edd or dd

Thought I misread it

[earnest dirge]

I got an elite bulk on stage 2 and had a bulk almost troll the drop pod on stage 3 of EDD

[primal barn]

anyone know why it says that "I do not have permission" to message in any of the channels except the deep dive ones?

Damn. Elite deep dive is rough. But it was fun.

[green spruce]

Hey guys ! how to promote a character ?

oh and by the way who might be interested sending me his/her steam code to add them and play at Deep rock galatic ?

[mellow cradle]

get them to level 25 (the red level), and then do the promotion assignment
#steam-profile-sharing might help with the second thing, and also grab some roles from #welcome-and-rules to be able to type in different channels

[green spruce]

3rd time wiping because bronze stars don't quite understand that popping eggs bring glyphid small wave/swarm

[eager atlas]

they are daring

they care not about danger

bring all bugs at once

let the bug gates flow

[somber basin]

How do you feel about wiping when cocky red stars do it?

[candid carbon]

4th try and got it done with a more seasoned team

[somber basin]

Congrats. Took me a couple tries too.

[frail hinge]

Just had probably the coolest fuckin deep dive I've played yet

My hands are shaking after an extended rescue mission during 3rd stage extraction

[rocky quest]

Is there plenty of nitra (like a lot more than you need) on this EDD? Like on.. half of them or so.

[quartz karma]

The first level didn’t have much til about midway

Then you are set for nitra for the most part through the rest of the stages

[rocky quest]

Because I was thinking of going a little extra ammo hungry compared to how I'd normally go because I reckoned I'd just have way more nitra than I'd need anyway.

[grand schooner]

Definitely harder then last week.

My first time playing a deep dive without going Engineer, so my performance was sub-par.

The fact that I had Compact Feed Valves equipped when most of the fighting happened while we were in large rooms also made this harder than it should've been.

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=As7YVqYVnwg

[rocky quest]

Well I heard last week's was especially easy though.

But people said that this week was also pretty easy.

[marble thistle]

The ones two and three weeks ago were quite harsh. I tried them multiple times, we always got trashed on the second stage.

[meager rivet]

Why i can't use main chat?

[mellow cradle]

get some roles in #welcome-and-rules

[meager rivet]

Thanks!

[raven carbon]

Yeah this week and last week have been very easy

The week before that very difficult, hardest in recent times

[sand juniper]

Seconded. We've been getting easy dives these past 2 weeks. Especially so by contrast when 3 weeks ago we got an EDD with a very tricky spawn on stage 2, plenty of parties got instawiped on it.

[grand schooner]

Yeah, which is why I suspect I had a bad loadout

A shortrange focused loadout in a deep dive that had most of it's big fights in large open spaces.

[exotic birch]

Maybe they'll do an especially difficult one once we get S5

Or at the very least one that shows off all the new stuff

Deep Scan primary, secondary, new secondary and the new warnings

[mellow cradle]

pretty sure they don't control that

[exotic birch]

They don't normally, but they probably could for the S5 launch

[sand juniper]

They can already pull off difficult combos with what we have now. e.g: I think on-site refining always makes EDDs more annoying with those far away mork wells that require timing to tunnel.

And sabotage of course.

[exotic birch]

tru

[rocky quest]

Just ran it (the EDD). Pretty easy.

[sand juniper]

I remember the first DD I ever did, which I incidentally soloed, had an annoying combo — onsite refining and haunted cave. But of course it was not a problem at Haz 3.

[rapid burrow]

finished EDD, this week's was quite easy

[marble thistle]

Speaking of these wells, remember that one Fungus Bogs DD with the Heaven Pipe that was a while back?

[sand juniper]

Regular DD wasn't it? Yep.

[manic pivot]

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

[low hare]

Rock and Stone!

[sharp fjord]

Not sure if doing a Deep Dive alone is easier or harder, but got all my dwarves promoted and went to tackle my first Deep Dive. I got tossed around in round one a bit, the ending for salvage. Surprised I didn’t go down during the elimination part of round two

I also didn’t see a hazard selection for DDs. But this felt harder than the haz2 I do. What is the hazard equivalent for DDs?

[jolly herald]

round 1 DD is quite rough for a haz 3, definitely the 'harder' deep dive ive done in a while

[eager atlas]

whether it's easier or harder depends on your skill and your team, you are the only factor when you're alone

DD is haz 3, 3.5 and 3.5
EDD is 4.5, 5 and 5.5

[sharp fjord]

Well, that would explain why round one was a bit rough. I tried haz3 once but got tossed around pretty good until it was a mission failure. I also only had two tiers of upgrades I could have used so a bit under prepared at the time. Maybe I should try some normal missions at haz 3

[mellow cradle]

if you completed a deep dive, then sure

[jolly herald]

haz level aside the first stage can cause problems:

• rival threat & hard to reach turret controller
• fairly complex cave gen
• Poor refuel pod location
• Potential for double bug wave if you step on a mule/leg at a bad time

[sharp fjord]

Rival threat didn’t treat me too bad. The bug wave were something I had to adjust to quickly. But it was the triangulation box that spawned in a bad area for me. over a ledge and down two or three meters.

[vestal sapphire]

At least the turret controller isnt actually in range of any turrets iirc

Scout throws himself down there and youre good

I remember one edd where you rounded a corner into a relatively small room completely plastered with turrets and the controller on the far side

That was ass

[sweet sparrow]

I cheese stack near the controller and hack from inside safety usually so those don't matter much

[indigo thorn]

Hello!! I want to try to get through an elite deep dive. What should I be aware of? (Like is there more enemies or anomalies, etc) Thanks!!

[eager atlas]

haz 4.5 to 5.5, 2 to 3 warnings, if you want the specifics for the current one, check pinned messages

[jovial lichen]

3 stages; first one is haz 3.5 then 4.5 and 5.5; nitra carries over so don't waste it but also don't be cheap, try not to go to another stage without ammo; as any haz 4+, take your time on the pod, you don't have to leave immediately and it's safer inside; as konato said, check the specifics on the pinned message

and ofc, only 1 dwarf has to reach the pod so more than ever is every dwarf for themself, don't try to be a hero after stage 1

iron will and field medic are specially useful as they reset at the start of every stage btw (as other perks)

[eager atlas]

4.5, 5 and 5.5*

[sand juniper]

Iron Will and Field Medic is probably the most universally useful active perk combo. All my loadouts feature it.

[mellow cradle]

you can replace one with dash unless you are playing scout

[indigo thorn]

Wdym with Haz 5.5, like what are the changes

[thorny gull]

Stronger buge

[mellow cradle]

enemies have more health, hit harder, attack faster, projectiles are faster, friendly fire is more severe, revive health is lower, more bugs
https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/Difficulty_Scaling#Normal_Scaling

although some of these things don't change in haz 5.5 compared to haz 5

[jolly herald]

so we pulled Dark Morkite beer on our lobby, made already easy EDD a lot easier

[raven carbon]

Buff beers are also especially useful

Morkite or the hp boost in particular

Anyway since you don't get machine events or other resources if dark morkite enables you to skip the last couple of caves it's a big boost

Slayer stout and rocky mountain also particularly useful in specific scenarios

[lucid frost]

someone tell me about the repellant upgrade on the platform gun

would it be better if i make a c shape area to funnel enemies in (for )

[wraith shard]

c shape can work but make sure it’s not too long or the bugs will walk around it. You can sort of fix this by adding more layers to it too

[lucid frost]

alright

[tropic girder]

I know this is suggestions but ROCK AND STONE

[burnt sandal]

it's not suggestions.

[tropic girder]

Oh

[burnt sandal]

[tropic girder]

Well still ROCK AND STONE

for this man

Bring thunderhead

[lucid frost]

i instead opted for having two funnels

well hey it works well enough

now if only i had known sooner

[royal tide]

yo what i joined a modded lobby and i got like 1000 of every material

is that normal

[fickle nova]

No

[candid thorn]

ever heard of hacks

cheats

hackers cheaters

exploiters

however you wanna call them

[royal tide]

ohh i thought it was actual mods

coz it said approved

it was good tho i got soo many overclocks and upgrades

[wraith shard]

does deep dive nemesis (this one maybe or in general) have lower health than normal? it took just a few breach cutter shots to take down (my bc has roll control OC too,because I dont have another oc for it yet), felt like whatever

[burnt sandal]

no

[wraith shard]

that was probably just because I was playing solo ig,thx

[dapper linden]

how do I change the team?

I joined the mighty miners division but I wanted to join the diggers how to do it?

[thorny gull]

Wait for the end of union event

You will be able to switch the union during the break

[dapper linden]

ok

Thank you for explaining

[summer bay]

hey sigma is here!

[old widget]

welcome, new miners...please grab roles in #welcome-and-rules and you can go talk in #non-drg-chat - this channel is for discussing endgame DRG content

[raven carbon]

Some of the cheats don't get detected

[royal tide]

its fr a cheat?

i thought just sum mod

[raven carbon]

That's not even a mod it's just cheats

[royal tide]

ohhh

it said it was a modded lobby

i stayed coz i thought it was normal and lots of resources

super laggy tho

bruh im never gonna need minerals again

[raven carbon]

It might have some other mods that made it show up as modded

[royal tide]

it had more plauers than 4

i think more players rebalanced

[raven carbon]

Yes so that's why

[royal tide]

was so hectic and fun

[raven carbon]

But that doesn't give 1000 minerals, that's just a cheat

[royal tide]

ik i tried the more ppl mod

[raven carbon]

I have heard of up to 16 player lobbies as the max

[royal tide]

field medic was useless in that lobby coz i could insta revive

[raven carbon]

Yeah that's another cheat

[royal tide]

the host went offline there was like 5 cargo crates in the match too

i wanted to grind the skins

or weapon frames

[raven carbon]

Each to their own because it's not a PvP game

But I immediately leave cheat lobbies if I accidentally get into them

[royal tide]

didnt know at the time i joined some lobby for an assignment

was so crazy

[raven carbon]

Cheats break all satisfaction of progression

[royal tide]

i mean there is friendly fire?

wait wdym

it helped me progress alot

i could craft alot of overclocks

and gave lots of xp

[raven carbon]

If I wanted to cheat for progression I can just go into the editor and give myself all overclocks

What's the point of getting 1000s of minerals and all crates in one go

Roundabout way of cheating

[royal tide]

wait u can edit the game for all OCs?

[raven carbon]

Yep I haven't done it but it is possible

[royal tide]

that seems a bit sus tho lol

i wouldnt do it coz i prefer gameplay

[raven carbon]

No different than getting million xp and several thousand minerals in one mission

[raven carbon]

Like I said

[royal tide]

i did get 1000s of minerals

but not too much xp

im tryna grind for lvl 100

for scale brigade armor

all ik is best way to get xp is double xp hazards

[raven carbon]

That is pretty much it

[royal tide]

fr no other xp tricks?

[raven carbon]

Do 8 egg hunts or 10 aquarq extractions

[royal tide]

oooh with bosco thats so ez

[raven carbon]

Fastest xp gain per minute spent in mission

[royal tide]

i always just did assignment missions or deep dives

[raven carbon]

Lithophage warnings also give huge boost

[royal tide]

or some public lobbies that r like 30 mins in

lithophage lags my laptop so bad but its also not too bad

as long as generation doesnt get weird

[royal tide]

its unreliable coz some ppl r so dang slow

but it makes haz 5 doable

it was like 20 mins into caretaker mission and haz 5 double xp and i joined did 20 mins of stuff with hyper propellant build and got around 40k xp

[raven carbon]

Or the timer is also bugged sometimes so it's not reliable

[royal tide]

yhhh that happens alot

[wraith shard]

Sorry caps

[lament coral]

Edd was my first mission back in like a month, this weeks edd was easy

[fresh robin]

Curious to ask. What was the most challenging EDD you guys had but in a fun way?

[mellow cradle]

that would have to be Morning Darkness, as the modifiers were quite hard, and it was the first EDD I completed solo in full

it was glacial strata morkite + mules elite threat, escort + eggs low oxy, 10 aquarqs + morkite shield disruption

[chilly shore]

sandblasted rival hot drop a few weeks ago was a fun one

[slender heart]

Didn't people find that particular one hard?

It wasn't too bad for me.

[fresh robin]

I will say, a fun EDD i wanted try out is mostly on Elimination, Sabotage and Escort Missions. As a gunner main myself, I just wanna shoot bugs/bosses down

But thats probably gonna mostly be me eating Nitra

[ashen stream]

Both deep dives had Bulk detonator, crazy

[tired skiff]

hi

[lethal kite]

Hi

[manic pivot]

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

[proud zealot]

aww shoot

[indigo drift]

Found Bulk twice during EDD so that was nice to spice things up on an otherwise pretty chill EDD.

[jolly herald]

You could get bad nemesis/bulk spawns on stage 2 making it a lot harder

[undone tundra]

Hey relatively green in the beard still, but i've just promoted both my scout and engie, is there anything else i should do in preparation for my first deep dive?

[jolly herald]

look up the objectives for the deep dive and prepare your loadout accordingly

[eager atlas]

if you can do haz3 or 4 you're p much ready for a normal deep dive

for elite you ideally want to be comfortable with haz5, but if you can do haz4 easily you can probably punch up

[manic pivot]

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

[carmine gulch]

After like a year or two of playing this game, I have finally beaten an elite deep dive

I know it's not an amazing accomplishment or anything, I'm just proud of myself

[royal tide]

hopefully this EDD is harder than last time

[fresh robin]

Same, I want a challenging elite deep dive this week

[cold kindle]

We'll see

👀

[manic pivot]

_ _
ATTENTION MINERS!
New Deep Dives will be available in one hour!
_ _

[eager atlas]

this EDD will have no nitra

[cold kindle]

1 minute left before new deep dives

Get ready

[manic pivot]

ATTENTION MINERS!
New Deep Dives are now available!

[twin sigil]

oh my god i just killed the hiveguard and a dreadnought spawned

[drifting tinsel]

real point extraction experience right there

[empty nimbus]

This week looks spicy.

[cold kindle]

Hm

Stage 2 EDD looks

Kinda

[fresh robin]

Ok this EDD is definetly challenging. Not in a fun way though

[twin sigil]

A BULK DETONATOR ASWELL

WHY

[jolly herald]

yoo actual difficult EDD?

stage 2 looks moderately spiced

[zenith ember]

doesnt look that bad?

[low plover]

why is it always stage 2

[zenith ember]

its time to FAFO for me then

[low plover]

it wouldn't be that challenging if not that shield disruption tho

"fafo"?

f- around and find out? 🤣

[zenith ember]

yeee

if anyone in asia joins though

[low plover]

wish you good luck in there

[quick whale]

shield disruption and low oxygen...bruh

[low plover]

and share your experiences

low oxygen is manageable when you have Molly around
it would be more problematic on aquarqs or refining. You need to tacticall dispose supply pods or run for your live (literally)

[quick whale]

low oxygen is never that hard, it's just annoying

[low plover]

it mostly depends on how cooperative is your crew

[quick whale]

it's regular DD anyway

[low plover]

that too

[quick whale]

low ox is fine in premades but in pubs it's just the isolated scout spaming molly to come near him

[zenith ember]

its fineeee

just call resup at every chokepoint

[low plover]

yeee, thats big limit to your free movement
thats why I say it all comes down to the crew. Players can cooperate to supply pods in often visited spots, while letting scout take molly with him for exploring

also Scout can zip back and forth to fetch minerals while leaving Molly to other teammates

[primal nexus]

Low ox can murder you if molly climbs up a wall during extraction

[low plover]

here you need to plan ahead with supply pods
so you can still get to drop pod without molly, just sprinting from one checkpoint to another, but you have to be careful to not get stopped by bugs too much
also no drilling tunnels during extraction, because once you're in, the bugs will lock your only way out to reach any other oxygen tank Better if driller drills shortcuts during mission and before extraction

Low Oxygen imo is the true trial of dwarven cooperation

along with Haunted Caves

[cold kindle]

If you got enough nitra you can call resupply and it will work like oxygen source

During extraction molly choosed the least weird way to drop pod and we almost died due oxygen

But we called resupply and survived

0 deaths,perfect

[low plover]

One time we were extracting via driller tunnel, but nobody thought it through and we started suffocating in there
I ordered resupply before dying, someone iron willed and revived us, we gasped for air from supply and thought our way out

[quick whale]

if only they did that...

[low plover]

ye, well

[quick whale]

scouts are the worst
t. scout main

[low plover]

I try to use the full potential of Scout's mobility

if we stumble upon, you could see me bunny-zipping all over the swarm 🤣

[zenith ember]

meh

2nd stage is relatively flat

aside from the ceiling being too high for arbelest to snipe from it should be easy

alot of nitra from stage 1 and 2 so

had 400+ when we started the pumps

[jolly herald]

It's mostly potential for bad cave gen + lack of nitra with shield disruption... Only so much red sugar available and if you have long pipes to build it can be rough

[zenith ember]

yeah

[jolly herald]

But apparently not an issue this week!

[zenith ember]

cave's more than fine

[jolly herald]

Noice

[smoky orchid]

#deep-dive-discussion

[fickle nova]

EDD (did 4 man with random greybeards)
Stage 1- was very easy with eggs and mules close
Stage 2- pumps were relatively close and spawn is in a nice location and no huge welcoming squad. managed to survive accidentally popping egg with leadburster during pretorian swarm.
stage 3- was very meh 200 morkite and egg right next to spawn

Nitra was abundant but a bit hard to spot cuz of azure caves

[winged sluice]

I play PlayStation, currently on stage 2, before I dropped in the dreadnought health bar popped up... they instantly died idk how but the boss fight music constantly plays and it says dreadnoughts not killed, it's the twins one they're definitely gone. Does anyone know what happened?

[native timber]

edd stage 2 this week was decently challenging

[smoky orchid]

I can't clear on elite deep dive stage 2 on my PlayStation. I keep hearing Dreadnote combat music and can't do secondary goals

[mighty vessel]

just got the dreadnoughts bug, this sucks

[winged sluice]

Same as mine

I've done this mission 6 times now

[mighty vessel]

[winged sluice]

Even if 1 spawns you can't even complete it

I trued

[mighty vessel]

my very first attempt was going awfully and we got both to spawn, the second one was going fairly well and it bugged out

[winged sluice]

The 2 breeders with no shield is crazy too as I'm trying to solo this mission

So even if both do spawn I have some trouble with it

[mighty vessel]

I can't imagine soloing this lmao

[winged sluice]

I've only been playing 2 weeks and I solo all my deep dives and dde purely because my rank is too low and this means I suck basically to others

[mighty vessel]

I mean, if you're able to solo this stuff...

you clearly not suck

[winged sluice]

I think it's easy with driller because of his swarm control

[mighty vessel]

though I'll admit that having bosco is great

[winged sluice]

He's a W teammate, you're on ps? Or is the bug on pc too

[mighty vessel]

I'm on PS

[winged sluice]

I was like surely I'm not the only one

[mighty vessel]

not sure if it's platform specific or just an unfortunate level generation

[winged sluice]

Pc generation is different.. can't say if it's harder or easier

[mighty vessel]

they spawn automatically because the station thingy lands on the cocoons I think

[winged sluice]

If you want to do this mission with me to figure out a way to do it I can I'm pretty freee today

Engineer could be good but my engineer is low, as you can place his turrets outside the pod and stay in the pod if both spawn

[safe skiff]

А

[thorn stump]

Stage 3 is so easy compared to stage 2

[wraith shard]

This EDD was meh honestly. It was harder than the last two consecutive EDD's but still easy overall nevertheless. I feel like EDDs should always have at least a single mutator honestly

[primal nexus]

I think it should have garunteed elite threat on at least one of the phases

[cold kindle]

Well actually difficulty depends on luck

3 weeks ago luck was terrible

We got 10 aquarqs

We could get 7 but game decided to choose 10 instead of 7

And we got rival presence instead of no mutator or smth easy such as regenerative bugs

[winged sluice]

It's actually hell on ps servers atm

The dread eggs are bugged

[cold kindle]

💀

Damn

[drifting oracle]

Same here. EDD is bugged and impossible to complete on PS5

In the meantime, I thought about a fix but it requires at least 2 people. One dwarf should stay in the drop pod to prevent the base from spawning, while the other one (preferably scout) pop the egg. We haven’t tested this yet however.

Let me know if someone will try this

[winged sluice]

After 8hours of trying I've conpleted it solo... the 2cnd is the hardest one ever because at the beginning it's incredibly rare for both to spawn and I have to stay in drop pod due to 2 breeder... it took 1 hours for this mission lol and after I got out (luckily) I easily did the one after

If you're in a squad the egg will locate elsewhere... but I went in multiple squads today and we lost each time

My only hope was to solo with driller

I watched my brother play this on pc.. on pc is 10 times easier

Rip ps players

[drifting oracle]

Yeah seed generation for DDs is not the same on PC and consoles

[drifting oracle]

But how did you managed to spawn the Arbalest (yellow one) ?

[winged sluice]

Luck

Possible that it was my position

I stood on the ramp

Even after killing them, by this point I had 2 lives left and had to complete the mission which itself was very hard

I did 90% of the mission with no lives

U really gotta get lucky for this one

[slender heart]

Hmmm.

<@&296918282403840000>

Oh, it's all gone.

[winged sun]

Where

Wheres the free nitro

Dammit

You ruined everything before i got here

[slender heart]

Not even free Nitro. Just spamming vulgarities.

[winged sun]

Ah

Aight im outa here

[sage pewter]

is it me or is regular DD really light on nitra

at least til the last stage

[warm urchin]

This EDD sucks ass, wow

[warm urchin]

With randoms I can’t get it done

[eager atlas]

to the randoms you are the random

[sage pewter]

this EDD was extremely easy tbh

[lucid frost]

how insane is the terrain of this week's EDD?

[quaint pasture]

yeah nitra was pretty scarce for the DD

compared to the EDD where we had 500 left over

[marsh mesa]

its barely manageable to a point

my team ran out of ammo a few times

i was on engine so i felt the worst of it because i was so busy refilling my turrets

it’s at least a little nice the terrain made everything so close together

made part 3 easiest of all ironically

the subtitle is accurate at least

[granite pasture]

whats the deep dive this week

[marsh mesa]

Dense Bio

||Stage 1: 7 aquarqs and a dread
Stage 2: 150 Morkite and 4 eggs
Stage 3: Liquid Morkite and 2 eggs||

took the team i was with ~30 min

[burnt sandal]

pinned messages for detail
it's updated each week

[marsh mesa]

for future reference i don’t need to spoiler mark anything about the DDs right?

[stable bear]

If you’re posting about it here i wouldnt worry too much about it

[lucid frost]

what was more insane was how the hoarder seemed to always spawn in the first stage in all 3-4 attempts

ofc it ran away before i even knew it was there

second stage would be nice if i brought a flamethrower (breeder)

(i always go solo because my setup is so jank it disconnects out of nowhere)

wait did somebody say DD is scarce in ammo

oh yeah where's the nitra by the way

[proud zealot]

idk abt the EDD this week

cant really comment on its dificulty coz i was playing will a full team of greybeards on ron's stream

ig ive had worse EDDs before tho

[lime hollow]

EDD was pretty chill but my squad did get a random Dred spawn on stage 2 for a grand total of Quadruplets

[woven scarab]

gt

[drifting tinsel]

dreadnought quadruplets NotLikeThis
sounds kinda fun honestly

[lime hollow]

It was, we were circling the drain calling resups when we could

Still if any beard on the team was a shade greener we were dead in the water

lotta Nitro on this weeks EDD but I used every shield I had and we absolutely needed every one

tl;dr don't underestimate this week, the tri-jaws and random spawns can make it a juggernaut of difficulty. There is absolutely no shame in wiping here

[distant tree]

sludge clutch overclock confirmed????

to clutch your fall with sludge

[eager atlas]

allegedly you can drill into the ground with the right timing and not take fall damage

[distant tree]

no.

sludge clutch

sludge

clutch

#sludgeclutch

[lime hollow]

you can totally drill clutch

power attack clutch too if you're goated enough

[eager atlas]

I've drilled on walls a lot, but never done it on the ground

tbf not like I end up in many situations in which I can try

[tribal parcel]

why was stage 2 like
significantly harder than stage 3 though

usually i find the difficulty on the edd comes in 5.5 for sheer bug volume but that stage 2 was killer

[indigo drift]

we had several of EDDs as of recent where if it's tough, it just so happens to be stage 2

rng swung that way ig lol

theres this, the Sand biome with rival presense and point extraction. And one in crystalized caverns with elite and point extraction + blackbox

[lime hollow]

stage 2 was hard this week, idk if it was bad rng or just built-in challenge but like I said, I got quadruplet dreads and a praetorian wave with many tri-jaws

It for sure wanted me dead and I would be surprised if it was just as bad for anyone else

[pulsar willow]

Is there a way to mod deep dives? If not i just might have encountered something truly interesting.

[solid haven]

Whoaaaaaaaaaaa new Deep Dives! Remember kids bring IRON WILL !
ROCK AND STONE !

[pale oyster]

Yes there are tons of mods that modify deep dives as well

[pulsar willow]

nah it was them. Got a good video out of it aswell :D Sadly didnt catch everything they did in the space station

[pale oyster]

What was it?

[pulsar willow]

they spawned alot of detonators. And meteors, bugs etc in the space station

[pale oyster]

oh lol, good times

[quick whale]

bruh as usual

scouts with m1000 not focusing on high priority targets

5 spreaders and he is shooting at grunts

[sand juniper]

Tricky dives this week in comparison to the easy weeks we were getting. Onsite refining with no shields for EDD stage 2 is one hell of a combo.

EDD stage 1 had an awkward initial spawn point but at least all objectives are pretty close to each other.

[raven carbon]

Small hazard difference between stage 2 and 3 doesn't make as much of a difference as the warning and mission combination

Just rng

Shield disruption with area defence is always tough

Still relatively better on refining as compared to uplink or escort

[sand juniper]

IMO uplink would be easier as an engineer and a driller can prep the terrain for easier defense. Bunkers and/or sealing passages.

[crimson rain]

uhhh how to beat edd stage 2

lack of shield does not help at all

[humble harbor]

average hipster justifier

[hidden echo]

Hello, I can't texst in some chats here
I don't know why

[chilly shore]

it doesnt tell you in #welcome-and-rules but if you take a role from there, it will unlock the other channels

[humble harbor]

for those complaining about a nitra shortage in the dd, it was all packed into one end of the cave

[cold kindle]

Should i try solo edd this time

Stage 1 and 3 looks fine

Stage 2 looks kinda

But doable ig

[spare wagon]

Hey, is there a way to check what the current deep dives are before joining one? Cant find a button for it. Like that screen we see inbetween the dives.

[mellow cradle]

the pins in this channel have info on what the stages are

[spare wagon]

I seee, bit odd it's not available ingame.

Given they seem to need prep

[crimson rain]

#drg-gallery message we managed to survive long enough to fill the minehead by spamming resupplies lmao
but those darn bugs still got us in the very end

also the map sucks

[deep charm]

so... green-ish beard here (around level 35, ~95 hours). I usually can complete deep dives pretty consistently even with only two players, but the one time I tried an elite deep dive we simply died in 15 seconds.

are all elite deep dives that hard? is it basically haz5 DD?

[mellow cradle]

the difficulties go haz 4.5, haz 5, haz 5.5

so yeah, the difficulty of an EDD is about that of a triple lenght haz 5 mission

[chilly shore]

"haz 5.5" is really more like haz 5.1 but yeah

[mellow cradle]

EDD might also have warnings on all stages

but it might not

[deep charm]

I see.

gotta give it another try I guess. the one time I tried we spawned on 50 exploding mushrooms and had a swarm immediately attacking us

[mellow cradle]

yeah, that depends on the mission type

some have a more hardcore spawn than others

for this week, if you survive stage 2, you should be good

judging from the opinions of others

[deep charm]

I might give it a go later.

ty!

[crimson rain]

tfw stage 3 is easier than stage 2, especially now that the armor is gone for everyone

[deep charm]

wouldn't mind some intel actually, what are the warnings on this week's edd?

[chilly shore]

check pins

[deep charm]

oh, will do. mb

[crimson rain]

at least gunner has forcefield ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I guess

[mellow cradle]

I had septics, macteras, wardens and swarmers on the stage 2 enemy pool, so take something to deal with those

but to this day I'm not sure if the enemy pools are seeded as well

ok, I checked and they are seeded

so be prepared for such enemies

[rain ridge]

After today's livestream, I remembered that there is haz 5+ in season 5. I wonder if they use it in elite deep dive instead of haz 5.5. What do you guys think?

[mellow cradle]

they said on one of the streams, that you will be unable to apply haz5+ mods to deep dives, so I assume they will stay as is

[rain ridge]

Really? Were having haz 6 in deep dives or something. GSG never dissappoints. Wonderful people trully

[mellow cradle]

no, I said you would not be able to apply those modifiers in a deep dive

[rain ridge]

oh right

Anable

right

my bad

[rain ridge]

but i guess modders will do something like that, but that an another topic already

[eager atlas]

keep moving
there's 400 nitra in the level, you can resupply to heal

[tardy goblet]

Anyone got an idea what missions are in this weeks edd?

Dont wanna go completly blind in it

[mellow cradle]

check pins

[tardy goblet]

Thx ❤️

[proud zealot]

dayum yea, at least the nitra was there

[cedar pendant]

Someone help me with promoting a character?

[stable bear]

You need to do the promotion assignment, then head to the memorial hall in the spacerig. Also go to #welcome-and-rules to get roles so you can talk in the other channels!

[grand schooner]

I'd describe this deep dive as "tough but short".

Although a lot of the difficulty came from the lag I kept getting, especially during the last stage.

This was also my first deep dive as gunner and the first time I've used the Heavy Autocannon.

Video: https://youtu.be/htKGhD-wv3w

That's one in the bag

Lol

[worthy oasis]

Why can't I speak on the channel above. drg-chat

[unborn pivot]

I am assuming this server also includes discussions for Elite Deep Dive and would give advice regarding the second and third stage for those who are finding it difficult to complete it solo. Do keep in mind that this was my first elite deep dive as I am relatively new to the game ( also I died a lot until i found success after using the following strat). My character was an engineer using the voltaic smg and breach cutter, and I had no overclocks. I found the 2nd stage very difficult as I had no shield and one of the fuel jack was literally so high up above the fuel collector (forgot the name) that was very awkward to find and make a pathway. Useful advice for surviving this stage for me was mining nitra from before and this stage, then digging a narrow pathway into the wall near collector, and then killing the swarm that way through turrets & smg guarding the single angle and using a breach cutter whenever they got too close. Make sure to dig a little bit at 90 degrees from the end of your pathway to hide from the poison gas thrown by big boys. Also do not fight the boss this way as you will have to fight it normally (also near the boss pod, there is a leach that can grab you). You will probably use two supply pods. For 3rd stage, I fought the boss right at the start as there were no mobs. It took me some time to find the morkite but I found about 75% when you reach the 4-way pathway at one end but I had not explored every pathway. Just keep your calm at this stage and remember open area where you can plant your turrets in case of swarms (for e.g the entrance to the 4-way pathway). Also, be aware of flying enemies that literally delete your health super fast. That's it and Hopefully this was helpful.

also I used shredder swarm which were especially usefull in 2nd stage when you are trying to explore pathways

[next pebble]

Okay, thank you for your help. I didn't select an identity group when I entered the channel, so where should I choose now?

[next pebble]

I'm not sure what you mean

If you're referring to the union chapters, those are selected in game once you've connected your game and discord

It's very finnicky though, and doesn't always work, plus it's only for people with copies through steam

[worthy oasis]

Thank you, I have logged back into the server and can now speak normally

[crimson rain]

wow that's... a lot

still we decided to try to leave stage 2 ASAP

maybe we'll have a little better luck on our side today

[raven carbon]

Soloing edd for a new player is commendable

[raven carbon]

The swarms after pod landing can get really bad very fast

That's a huge spike

[sharp gate]

Just installed the game is there any way to find team mates here ?

[jovial juniper]

any one want to do the elite deep dive?

[indigo drift]

did EDD with randoms, stage 2 wasn't hard until the entire team didn't resupply to keep their health up. During a swarm a teammate accidentally broke the egg and 3 of my teammates got downed during swarm + twins, I had to juggle typing to let them know to resupply their health since they got downed on low hp multiple times, TCF and Volatile mixture like a madman, and staying alive to revive the team (11 revives).

Our greenbeard gunner also didn't communicate in english and refuses to heal while they are repeatedly downed. So even after we miraculously cleaned up the twins and encountered another swarm later on, I had to juggle pinging the gunner and the supply box until they understood.

Somehow pulling through got the team working in sync and stage 3 was smooth sailing.

[mighty vessel]

the EDD feels impossible to complete with randoms on PS

[silver spear]

on playstation?

[mighty vessel]

yeah

I've tried it at least a dozen times with randoms and the outcome is basically always the same lol

[wraith shard]

anyone wanna play?

i’m on ps4

[slate pasture]

zzzzz

[lean mantle]

This week's edd was pain

The pumpjack positioning on stage 2 sucked balls

Was playing in a duo and only failed stage 2 once, but that's still 1 more than we would have preferred

[hallow wave]

Anyone running EDD? We need 1 more player

[calm stirrup]

How do I get access to general

[burnt sandal]

read #welcome-and-rules and pick some roles

[calm stirrup]

Ok

[coarse ginkgo]

Can machine events spawn in deep dives?

[low plover]

nope

no side stuff like event, minerals or cargo crates. Just objectives

[coarse ginkgo]

Shame. Got lots of cores and 0 assignments so i was planning on doing a couple dds

[low plover]

iirc mission length increases chance for machine events

rn there's few of length-3 missions in pool - 3 of which have gold rush

[jovial juniper]

I failed the edd and there were so many bugs that i know i wont complete the edd of this week sadly

[lusty trellis]

is this the general channel of the server? kinda lost here sorry

[burnt sandal]

it's not, you'll want to read #welcome-and-rules and pick some roles first to access it ^^

[lusty trellis]

thank you 😄

[mellow cradle]

maybe the welcome channel should actually tell people that the roles give them acces to the server?
they are invited to get the platform and class roles, sure, but the channel acces part is ommited
but I assume this has been discussed before since it's not changed yet?

[next pebble]

We have

Many times

Mods can't change those things

[devout crater]

is there a Russian chat here?

#fan-communities

[rough sapphire]

hey guys, i know this is not the place for this question, but i literally cant type or use any message/voice chats in this server? any ideas why? just says that i dont have permission

[humble lake]

: D

[hoary gulch]

How can I access audio channels?

[mellow cradle]

scroll up

both of you

[hoary gulch]

How can I access audio channels

Do I need to register?

[rough sapphire]

this doesnt explain anything, as i only see role and platform roles to react to. either im dumb or im dumb

[eager atlas]

get one of those

that's it

[mellow cradle]

what is my messege to one of the moderators talking about?

"maybe the welcome channel should actually tell people that the roles give them acces to the server"

[eager atlas]

it's talking about something that the moderators can not change

[mellow cradle]

but it's also talking about what there is to be changed
and that is a hint to the new users as to what they should do

and there's also pounce's message right above it

[rough sapphire]

its stupid that you have to react to more than you want to. like, i had reacted to driller and steam

and had no perms

[cosmic berry]

do I get matrix cores for repeating deep dives?

[thorny gull]

no

[upper gyro]

I like deep rock galactic

[spark sphinx]

I really need the function, sprint by default

There was a MOD but it doesn't work right now

My little finger hurts from pressing SHIFT all the time

[pure cliff]

not a place to discuss this you have to get roles in #welcome-and-rules hitting the emotes on the messages also you can go to the menu->gameplay and there's an option for "Hold to run", you can untoggle that so you just have to tap the shift button

[spark sphinx]

fine

thx dude

[unkempt oak]

idk why i dont have permission to #drg-chat
hey guys, why do i keep getting kicked via "connection lost" when my friend is hosting? Literally after 5-10 minutes on the mission game just kick me

[pure cliff]

you have to get roles in #welcome-and-rules ⁠welcome hitting the emotes on the messages

[unkempt oak]

okay, makes sense

[rose spoke]

How do i enter the call in this server

its all locked

[burnt sandal]

read two messages above yours

[fervent tundra]

NOOOOOOOOOOO I DC'd at the final stage of EDD

how does this keep happening to me

[jolly herald]

need some gamers for EDD #lfg-steam message

full tyvm

[spare forge]

are there any polish players that i could play with?

[jolly herald]

Completed EDD - Stage 2 is indeed the hardest but it is not as bad as it seems
Stage 1 go asap (we popped double eggs) to conserve nitra for stage 2 opener
Stage 2 We popped the dread after the landing party and 3 manned it while our driller setup morkite lines
Recommend driller and engi making the environment easy to traverse as most of the difficulty is navigating azure weald during a swarm
Any crowd control build makes stage 2 fairly trivial - we had sludge driller, AC gunner and myself with VIR, negated a lot of the swarmers which sap health and means resupply can be used for ammo instead of healing
Stage 3 felt like haz 4 tbh

[wraith shard]

Is engineer a fun class I haven't tried him yet

[jolly herald]

go to #drg-chat but it is definitely a matter of preference, recommend playing them all at least 1 promotion to get a feel for what you like

[wraith shard]

It won't let me type in there

[mellow cradle]

get some roles in #welcome-and-rules

[reef prism]

How do I comment in lfg tab? It keeps bringing me here

[past brook]

As said just above you go to welcome and get some roles if that doesn’t work then no idea

[hearty tusk]

Just used a detonator to one shot a hiveguard, feeling good

[thin sage]

niceeeee

[junior aurora]

Yo I heard edd this week is brutal u guys found it hard?

[jolly herald]

Phase 2 is a bit spicy but it is not too bad

[cosmic berry]

its first EDD I ever tried and found it very difficult. took me 4 tries with randoms

[lean flint]

just attempted it solo and I failed on the second mission

brutal as hell

i usually play haz 5 with other warnings but holy hell

the terrain on the second mission got me killed

[cosmic berry]

ye the morkite up top is hard

[fair flower]

A few months back there was an EDD, I think the 2nd mission. It was liquid morkite & rival presence. You land and there were 4? brood nexuses, 3 breeders, a few spitballers. First few times I did it with randos we barely made it off the ramp.

[jolly herald]

imagine it would be hard solo, our driller made the terrain a lot easier to navigate

plus the swarmers caused a lot of problems for our scout

[indigo drift]

can be hard with randoms, my lobby wasn't keeping their hp up on stage 2 + accidentally triggered twins during a swarm, it became manageable after everyone started resupplying on low health and the scout in our team did a great job collecting the nitra we need to do so.

[lean flint]

3rd failure on the second mission on edd

this is so ass

[ember dagger]

It would be dope if you could add modifiers to edds

maybe, probably not. i dont care. nevermind.

[wraith wharf]

edd would just takes too long with modifiers

[high storm]

"why are we having so much trouble with this?"
i saw to myself before seeing a driller just mashing m1 with sludge

[mellow cradle]

maybe he was playing sludge blast?

he could have, seeing as there are two bossfights

[high storm]

nope, just spamming uncharged shots

[mellow cradle]

well, that's what you are supposed to do in a swarm situation with that OC

[indigo drift]

they could also have been using VIM, which for the most part you would spam uncharged shots

[tiny portal]

VIM is perhaps the best sludge oc as well for quick single shot kills on grunts and is the highest DPS OC for driller on dreads (or second after sludge blast)

48 dmg per shot plus DoT is no joke

[stable bear]

Huh, i just run HIA most of the time

[chilly shore]

the actual way to deal with big groups using sludge blast is to not use your primary

[tiny portal]

Yea I hate sludge blast for groups which is why I prefer VIM

[main topaz]

the bilstering necrosis charge shot vim build

[jolly herald]

Solo? Or you tried with a group

[lean flint]

uh, 1st time was solo, 2nd time was with 2 randoms, 3rd time was with my friend, and then we tried again

we succeeded on the 4th try

we used driller + gunner to funnel bugs into a tunnel and used hellfire coil gun to kill them

I usually never resort to boring strats but I didn't want to lose again

[jolly herald]

A win is a win

[cyan birch]

Tip for sludge blast if you want to hit groups with it, wait until a grunt is about the size of your reticle when it's in a group and most of the projectiles will hit at that range

[fathom shore]

Any advice on what guns and oc’s i should run for the edd

On scout or engie*

[solemn flax]

Any tips for fighting hiveguard with the lok-1?

I generally find hiveguard pretty fun at haz 3 solo, but went in with a weapon I'm not great at, it sort of pointed out to me that I'm bad it hitting some weakpoints with the lok.

[lean flint]

I use executioner for the OC, which already helps with dreadnoughts. for hiveguard, what I do is just angle it as to where the bullet would path into the weakpoints

or I tap fire

[solemn flax]

Well yes, but any tips on angling past 'bullets follow path, practice turning/moving just the right amount to get it?'
Don't have any ocs for the lok yet, sadly. Don't even have all the base upgrades. (though I do have at least one per tier)

[chilly shore]

there is no real trick, it's just difficult

[still geode]

just tap fire the weakpoints, they're easy to break anyway

[arctic plover]

Damn this EDD stage 2 is fucking me up

I would love suggestions because this shit is doo doo

[eager atlas]

Make a huge rollercoaster, the bugs can't hit you if you go top speed during the whole game

Vampire is a good way to recover HP every now and then
Dash is a good way of running away if they got too close
There's like 500 nitra at this point, you can call resupplies to heal, you might waste some ammo but survival is more important

it also means you can spam grenades and whatever other stuff your class has more often

[jolly herald]

VIR helps a lot for stage 2 swarmers, primary whatever you feel most comfortable with, I used EXE Lok1 for the dreads but ECR also works

[fathom shore]

Cheers

Im thinking about using the loudout slots so i can have mission specific stuff , to save the class is there a button or do i just swap to it to use

[jolly herald]

I use the mod for saving/editing loadouts

build the loadout, name it, save it then you can go back to it anytime you want

within the mod you can also save weapon builds so you don't have to reconfigure them for each overclock

[eager atlas]

any change you do in a loadout is saved automagically, there's no save and load function (aside of the copy loadout thing)

[fathom shore]

Thanks im setting them up rn

[jolly herald]

Stage 3 is so easy you can honestly free fire resupplies during stage 2 to survive
Before you start morkite extraction, spend time terrforming the map so it is easy to traverse, I think i went down once during stage 2 and it was due to skill issue finding my way round the map (get engi to build plastcrete bridges, gunner zipline coverage, driller with C4 etc) - you will use a lot of resupplies so have plenty of ammo for your tools
A good aoe gunner can do work on this, we didnt get too many big bugs but the number of bugs/swarmers was overwhelming - our gunner nearly had as many kills as me (engi)
Kill the twins asap while someone (driller/engi) does pipelines

someone mentioned vampire but its non negotiable for shield disruption

[neat cave]

Tried to Deep Dive solo today for the first time

Mistake.

Mosty because the map refused to have nitra veins

[fresh robin]

Finished the EDD with Gunner (I used Autocannon with Carpet Bomber, Mole Coilgun and Brt)
if you play Gunner, what I can recommend is that you focus on having an AoE generalist with your secondary focusing on single targets. There's a lot of bugs in Stage 2 and its very easy to get overwhelmed, my teammates died here a lot. Single Targets are not much of a problem as you focus on the swarm, the team will focus on the big ones.
Use your shield efficiently, if you feel you are getting overwhelmed or need to revive a fallen teammate, use it.

[jolly herald]

the dreads are bait on this EDD, just build for wave clear and you will be OK tbh

[viral comet]

Since when was the edd changing between runs

i thought they were always the same

[jolly herald]

its always the same objectives and map gen but the bug spawns can vary i believe

[mellow cradle]

I am pretty sure the special and disruptive pools are the same

special enounters like nemesis and betc may vary though

[viral comet]

ok well

i am getting very different spwns of leeches every time i do it

[mellow cradle]

ah, that too

[eager atlas]

they generally are, but things go funky

[viral comet]

and different spawn locations of pump jacks and dreadnaught cacoon in phase 2

[eager atlas]

I've seen things like leeches appear, objectives be in different spots and such

why? no idea

[mellow cradle]

hmm, I didn't think that could happen

[viral comet]

ok

same, until it just happened

[jolly herald]

I've never experienced this because I 1 shot every week

[stuck geyser]

i finally did a deep dive'

i actually played with other people tho

[bronze turtle]

hey anyone up for a elite deep dive me and my mate are after another 2 people to join us
hes a engineer and im a scout

[gritty pawn]

I just finished this weeks edd and it was so insane but so fun too lol

[indigo drift]

If you are still looking for people, I can join, I've gone through the EDD for this week already.

I main gunner/driller, this one I ran driller

[bronze turtle]

unfortunatly not hes left for the night but will be back around 6pm tomorrow

[indigo drift]

I am unable to play around 6pm AU time though , I play in SEA so that'll be around my afternoon work hours unfortunately

oh well, if you need a teammate for the weekends, I'm more than happy to tag along

[bronze turtle]

ill talk to him and can almost garuntee we can be up later on weekend as no work

[winter atlas]

I managed to do this week’s EDD with no teammates and only bosco, unironically he made it easier in some parts. Still stressful at the end though, the cave layout kinda sucked for finding morkite.

First time doing it ‘solo’, was quite the challenge

[grand token]

Is this weeks EDD impossible? Because in the second stage one dreadnought just dies and when I kill the other one I cant start with the refining

[mellow cradle]

I heard somone had such problems this week

are you on console?

[grand token]

Yeah

[mellow cradle]

read this exchange, maybe it will help you #deep-dive-discussion message

[reef girder]

that was quick

[fresh robin]

Interesting, Stage 2 EDD as usual looks challenging

[mellow cradle]

...no

read the anomaly xd

[glossy spade]

Oh god no please

This is my second week of deep diving

... I might have to do the EDD instead

[zenith ember]

the 3rd stage is harder than 2nd

no thanks to the bloody controller pairing with a betc

both are at the end cave with half the morkite too

[cold kindle]

Stage 2

At least not 10 aquarqs

And critical weakness

[cold kindle]

• low oxygen

💀

[honest bobcat]

I didn't mean swarmageddon
Just having swarmers being part of the spawn pool

[wind radish]

why

just do both

[glossy spade]

I mean I might be more likely to suceed at the EDD

[mellow cradle]

why

[glossy spade]

Because I'm very bad at dealing with haunted cave.

[mellow cradle]

it's haz 3, the ghost barely deals damage

also it's aquarqs, so an open map means you are unlikely to get cornered

[sharp cradle]

And there are boots on the first stage

spoiler

[glossy spade]

.... nvm then, I'll be fine

[honest bobcat]

As long as you don't miss the boots
