[winter veldt]

We carried a greenbeard driller, died like 30 times

[mystic horizon]

this EDD is quite

unenjoyable to solo

[shell thicket]

Is anyone else absolutely suffering in EDD stage 3? Tried bunkering, 2 Bulk Dets. Tried rushing, multiple stationaries. Tried being tunnel rats, again...2 bulk dets. Tried speedrunning eggs, funny lil Stalker. Tried a total of 6 times, not a single time has it been successful.

[warped veldt]

if bulks are the issue you could try leadbursters or a volatile bullets loadout

those 2 things also happen to be quite effective against stationaries aswell

[shell thicket]

i would love that if the bulk dets didnt spawn simultaneously along with a swarm not far behind

the furthest i got was mid pumping while funneling the bugs in a bunker

[warped veldt]

thankfully gunner has a shield so if you need a few seconds to tear down a bulk in peace you have a tool for it

if you hate the setup thats fine, its just something that i think would hard counter the main issue youre having

[shell thicket]

you would think, but our gunner couldnt keep up with the influx of bugs

[fervent heath]

i didnt see any bulk dets on that stage. i played scout solo and just spammed phero

[warped veldt]

what class are you playing then

[fervent heath]

piping was a bit of a mess though

[shell thicket]

engi as per usual

[warped veldt]

well thats rough

[fervent heath]

the one well near the refinery was easy to get to, just place the pipe on top of the refinery, but especially the one they put on mount everest, i had to do some curvy nonsense

[jolly herald]

what loadout, if you are struggling with swarms?

[shell thicket]

clean sweep, pump action, ssgs

[mellow cradle]

that's rough

[warped veldt]

oh that would do it

[jolly herald]

😬

[exotic belfry]

I would recommend swapping off of PGL for the EDD then, as it has seriously low stats.

[mellow cradle]

laydax color change

[warped veldt]

blue man??

[jolly herald]

based blue dwarf has arrived

[mellow cradle]

but yeah, use breach or something

or VIR

[shell thicket]

problem is trying to stay versatile

[mellow cradle]

wdym?

[jolly herald]

any swarm clear secondary with Pump is fine

[exotic belfry]

VIR would be my pick, its super versatile as the lava isn't tied to any stats

[shell thicket]

stage 2, dreads while stage 3 is mass swarms

[mellow cradle]

an the EDD has an elevator section

so even more arguments to run VIR

[mellow cradle]

you can use pump action for dreads
and VIR can do some single target too

[warped veldt]

breach cutter is really versatile so it should help a ton compared to pgl

[shell thicket]

i could run gunner on mortars, and elephants, or BRT, not a fan of coil but i have inferno

[warped veldt]

inferno breach cutter?

[shell thicket]

inferno breach and coil gun

[mellow cradle]

hellfire coil

[shell thicket]

"hellsfire" as its called

yeah

[jolly herald]

engi is more than capable of doing dread & swarm together in one loadout, just not with PGL

[shell thicket]

ay dont knock on my PGL, its trying

[jolly herald]

i am a noted PGL enjoyer, RJ is one of my most used OCs

but if you are struggling sometimes you have to bust out the big guns

[shell thicket]

personally ive never gotten into using breach or laser, but i guess stage 3 is calling for it

[warped veldt]

well pgl is considered the worst for a reason

if you dont struggle then i guess it doesnt matter, but when things get difficult you need to either play way better or succumb and use the stronger guns

[burnt sandal]

you can do that even with PGL, funnily enough

[jolly herald]

you can run ODB if you are worried about dreads... with good repellent setups and clumps of bugs it will do work

[jolly herald]

well yes but the guy is on his 6th attempt

[burnt sandal]

I doubt the PGL is the issue

I think kiting mechanics and target prioritisation are

[warped veldt]

pgl might not be the main issue but it certainly doesnt help

[jolly herald]

right but taking something that can easily clear waves of bugs certainly makes kiting mechs and target prioritisation much easier

[exotic belfry]

If you are truly committed to PGL, swapping your OC to Hyperpropellent or RJ250 would also help, as those are generally PGL's best OC's. The former is fully committed to LST's, and the latter is fully committed to CC, so your primary would then be the opposite of what you choose.

[mellow cradle]

instant breach stun certainly helps if there are other issues

[jolly herald]

has to be said, running PGL for 6 EDD attempts is incredibly based

[warped veldt]

i could try joining your game if you have an open spot

and just help that way

[burnt sandal]

the PGL has the same stun than breach, funnily enough, and it doesn't even compete with particularly important mods, outside of a few builds

[mellow cradle]

except, barring rj250, breach doesn't deal self dmg, and breach has way more ammo

[warped veldt]

the reason breach has better stun is because of the area the projectile can cover

theres also no risk of self damage when you need to stun something right in your face

[shell thicket]

i love my PGL

[jolly herald]

ok so

PGL RJ250

with maybe EXE Lok1

[exotic belfry]

As you should, PGL is a ton of fun

[jolly herald]

gives you option for dread & swarm

[exotic belfry]

I second the RJ250 Exe paring suggestion, I've run it before and its a very solid versatile loadout

[shell thicket]

noted, i will be giving that a shot for my 7th attempt

[jolly herald]

on using the lok1 on a bulk

it can be tricky to hit his weak spots with the curved bullets

but can easily be jumped over for better angles

[shell thicket]

if im using rj250 ill just avoid the bulk, wouldnt really wanna waste too much ammo when i can kite it away easily

[mellow cradle]

the front left bulb is easy enough

[exotic belfry]

One note for RJ PGL, you basically have to run T3A (Incendiary Compound) for it to function, as without heat the gun doesn't have enough damage to kill anything bigger then a swarmer

[mellow cradle]

the others not so much if you have the aggro

[twilit saddle]

how painful is the deep dive?

[mellow cradle]

a lot of waiting

[twilit saddle]

the three worst missions as a deep dive?

[trim osprey]

i absolutely hate the last mission in this week's elite dive

[blissful breach]

what do I jave to prepare for? im scared

[burnt sandal]

you can check the pinned message in here to have a look at the deep dives

[blissful breach]

k ty

[void night]

Okay guys, is the normal Deep Dive as painful as it sounds?

[eager atlas]

unless you struggle with haz 3, it shouldn't be

[mystic horizon]

this EDD’s stage 3 is quite hectic

my team dove for cover into the refinery pit and i was left fending for my life against all the stationaries and bugs when we landed

not exactly the most fun

but very adrenaline boosting

[scarlet gyro]

Elite deep dive seems to be kicking me this week. Usually during or after the second stage. Both times I ran it our team ran outta ammo and got knocked down. Course both runs were with randoms however I feel something is going on and I’m not sure what

[shell thicket]

https://tenor.com/view/deep-rock-galactic-elite-deep-dive-gif-13130917873134276174

[warped veldt]

ok stage 3 really is brutal

i got skill issued twice and on attempt 3 i got stuck in a pipe and we died because of it

[tacit jungle]

pretty relaxing EDD this time, had two teammates down immediately on stage 3, but the cave wasn't very busy and I had plenty of space to pop the 3 spitters, spawner and nexus

[tacit jungle]

I don't stick around EDD lobbies unless the other players are level 100ish or so. Sorry newbros, but I play a support class and can't carry a team

Caves lit, nitra mined, balls cupped, web spitters clicked. Someone else's gotta kill the grunt waves

[mystic horizon]

my team first time round had 2 greenbeards and we were fine, mainly outside of stage 3 where i was basically working overtime to get pumpjacks and take care of stationaries

[winter veldt]

Literally every EDD is the same "this EDD is kicking my butt" it's supposed to be hard

It's not "this EDD" it's every EDD

[mystic horizon]

every EDD is questionable

[winter veldt]

Exactly

[mystic horizon]

some EDDs were just

kinda a walk in the park

while some were quite the ass kicker

for greenbeards and greybeards alike

[rose shore]

truee

[crystal lodge]

Second stage of this week's EDD was insane, first we got barrage infector that triggered the dreadnought, and after that whole team fell in a cave through the hole in a floor, this cave had 2 spitballers, barrage infector and vartok, my unluckiest EDD so far

[wild quail]

Hanz bring the flamer, the sticky flamer

Whats next a bramble and a hoard of trijaws?

[mystic horizon]

this EDD was quite miserable to solo

[scarlet gyro]

I’m trying to be nice to Greenbeards but when gunner pops the dred and we play run in circles and revive till I’m outta; slushy juice for the freeze ray, C4 and batteries.

[iron portal]

I don't have that much experience since this was my first solo EDD but it was very manageable

In my opinion at least

[mystic horizon]

its managable swarm wise but

its miserable objective wise

cause of the horrible cave gen

[iron portal]

I can agree with you on that

[shell thicket]

That’s fair but he’s not wrong, Stage 3 is a bitch and a half this deep dive

[shell thicket]

That’s also fair, nothing more annoying than a hive mid swarm

[cyan berry]

what would you guys say is the best primary ocs for single target damage as gunner for the 2nd stage of the EDD?

i typically bring mortar rounds and mole armskore, but now im having second thoughts

i assume burning hell or lead storm unstable oc for the lead storm has best reliable single target, or maybe rocket salvo...

[warped veldt]

nah some EDD are a lot easier than others

[winter veldt]

And yet people always complain lol

[chilly shore]

well it depends on skill

[winter veldt]

This EDD is just normal haz5

Remember that OSR with haunted cave?

That was hard

[winter veldt]

PBM + lead spray is my go to for single target

[chilly shore]

pbm is definitely the highest sustained dps gunner primary

[winter veldt]

Quite good to use in general too

Unlike lead spray

[cyan berry]

plasma burster missiles? i dont have that yet unfortunately

[chilly shore]

burning hell single target dps is actually not very high, it has no damage increase vs dreadnoughts and overheats faster
lsls is probably your best choice then

Jet fuel homebrew is an option if you have it

But since it's an EDD i do recommend you have either a primary or secondary that can handle swarms

[cyan berry]

i have volatile bullets bulldog

which i assumed made for very good single target

[chilly shore]

It's possible but you need a scout with conductive thermals in order to make it possible to ignite a dread

[cyan berry]

dreads cant ignite with burning hell?

[chilly shore]

Not by itself, their natural ignition temperature is 1000 but their max possible temperature is only 100

[cyan berry]

i see

[chilly shore]

Conductive thermals lowers the ignition temperature

You could also just shoot it with burning hell bullets, it's not really necessary to have super max dps

for dread fights

Just more convenient

[cyan berry]

i guess fire builds are out of the picture
between salvo module and cluster charges, do you think either have decent single target?
i only really have mortar rounds and lead storm otherwise, and no noteworthy balanced/clean ocs

[chilly shore]

Clusters technically kinda do, but only if you forget that dreads have heavy explosion resist
Minigun is what I would pick in that case

[cyan berry]

i didn't know dreads have high explosion resist to begin with

i'll keep it in mind

[chilly shore]

Also I personally don't prefer the cluster playstyle so i might be a bit biased lol

[warped veldt]

cluster charge and minelayer still do fine against dreads because they both have an obscenely high damage multiplier

[cyan berry]

mortar rounds arent very good vs dreads, though?

[vestal sapphire]

However if you pull this off volatile bullets does a dwarfillion damage and its awesome

[warped veldt]

those also do fine

probably the best youll see out of autocannon in that situation

[gentle hinge]

Big bertha is also pretty good

[warped veldt]

mortar and big bertha have nearly identical single target damage funnily enough

[tacit jungle]

we cheesed the og dread a bit, he never left IFG radius with sludge on him

[jolly herald]

need a 4th for EDD, pod 8

EU

[fresh robin]

this deep dive was tougher than EDD for some reason

also 3rd stage EDD was tough

like, really tough

[mystic horizon]

besides that one heaven pump jack stage 3 was rough at the initial breach

[fresh robin]

I was a little pissed that it was that high
luckily the driller made it easy for us

[fresh robin]

and I'd choose mortar over big bertha everytime

[warped veldt]

well i said that in terms of single target

mortar has a million other advantages over bertha lol

[fresh robin]

now for a question, what if the deep dive was an elite deep dive
how hard would it be? 🤔

[marble hinge]

no-shield sabo is pain

[zenith ember]

not that much better, both of the stage 2 are noob killers

pubs cant play around shield disrupt or low o2 for some reason

[wild pewter]

me and mr mushroom did DD 2 days ago and EDD today. This weeks dives are awesome, holy.

the big cave was very cool looking in the end of EDD, and as a scout (very original, mhm), it was some of the most fun i had in combat

nitra generation was generous as well, very fun

[long matrix]

imho, fatboy
the area damage alone is enough to make it a psuedo-hyperprop, only downside is it lacks the weakpoint bonus

usually end up running out of shotgun ammo before I run out of nukes somehow

rj is cool if you dont wanna spend a perk slot on dash tho

[exotic belfry]

Fat boy is pretty terrible against dreads, so I don't recommend it for blind/Elim DD/EDD

[long matrix]

can do hiveguard vent stage, thats about it

and sents ig

[drowsy solstice]

Ebonite Drillevator sounds so cursed lmao\

cant wait to get wiped stage 1

[exotic belfry]

I've done it before, and it absolutely is. Molly sticks to the walls, so most of the power attack thingy's also get stuck on the walls lol

[long matrix]

bring barbed drills, got it

actually just bring any cryo build

[drowsy solstice]

and low o2 with greenbeards+a barrager that popped the naut egg early

that was rough

[jolly herald]

Another week another 3rd stage deep dive dc

[tawdry geode]

The hot drop for the 3rd stage of this week's EDD is absolute hell lol. So many stationaries

[modern crown]

i completely didnt feel that way

we did the edd with gunner and driller, i just plopped down a shield and six shooter'd all the stationaries

[drowsy solstice]

Stage 1: great, done in under 10 mins
Stage 2: handled fairly well, gunner is a bit of a noob, but the nauts were the easy ones
Stage 3: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

FUCK THAT STAGE 3

that is all

rock and stone

[modern crown]

i am so confused are we doing the same edd

the only memorable thing in stage 3 for me is how high up that one pumpjack is and how grateful i am that im playing with a driller

fragmentation missiles hurricane + six shooter revolver for me, disperser compound sludge + gamma contamination wave cooker for the driller

and i was surprised how easy the dread fight was with an aoe focused build

[warped veldt]

what makes stage 3 hard is 2 barrage infectors right out of the drop pod, a spitballer nearby along with a breeder walking around

and the praetorians in the cave make revives harder until you get settled

[modern crown]

also he was using volatile impact mixture actually i was wrong

i think he handled one barrage while i popped a shield and killed the other, along with a spitballer

then the breeder decided to go directly above my face so i spammed six shooter into it and killed it

[drowsy solstice]

Verticality+bulk spawns+people popping eggs without checking in=pain

[modern crown]

we... didnt have a bulk spawn

the verticality did suck though

glad i had my driller bro digging all the tunnels for the pipelines

also my fragmentation missiles/six shooter build was actually so good im considering making it my default geneneralist loadout

im so surprised it handled the dreads on stage 2 easily

[warped veldt]

well thats the standard hurricane experience

[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!
_ _

[clear slate]

bro i swear my squad had a driller that was trying to throw

[lean mantle]

How bad is the edd

Cause I'm hosting a public lobby, and it's been going for 20 minutes without anyone joining

The fact that nobody wants to join is making me fear for the worst

[mystic horizon]

stage 1 and 2 are relatively managable even with greenbeards but stage 3 can be a kick in the ass starting out

stage 2 is a bit questionable if you run with greenbeards though cause i’ve heard some dont fend well against low oxygen

[lean mantle]

Low o2 is annoying but never a huge issue

[mystic horizon]

it is dreadnoughts so

sometimes it can be a bit troublesome

cave gen is also atrocious on stage 1 and 3

especially stage 3

a pumpjack is located in literal heaven

[lean mantle]

It doesn't sound like too horrendous for an edd

[mystic horizon]

pray you have a driller that knows he has drills for stage 3

or rocky mountain

[lean mantle]

It sounds bad don't get me wrong, but not like the most difficult thing in the world

[mystic horizon]

its not the most difficult but it is extremely tedious with a bad team

do be wary of the two barrage infectors right outside of spawn on stage 3

[lean mantle]

With how it's sounding, all I have to do is play scout and be the team's medic

If it's a bunch of greenbeards

[mystic horizon]

thats what i did

[lean mantle]

Special powder and hoverclock it is

[mystic horizon]

team dove into the refinery pit right as we landed and i was left to fend for my life against all the stationaries + bugs on stage 3

[mystic horizon]

i wouldnt run special powder if i were you

caves arent big enough to get much value out of its mobility burst

especially stage 1

stage 1 is extremely cramped

[lean mantle]

Would shield battery booster and cryo minelets be better then

[mystic horizon]

any primary should do fine but cryo minelets is a really good pick

considering you are gonna have to put up with quite a bit of stationaries in stage 2 and 3

[lean mantle]

Also gonna run pheromones for obvious reasons

Practically the best grenade in the game

[mystic horizon]

not much macteras to worry about so yeag

though a large benefit this time around is the caves are very generous with nitra

stage 3 alone yields enough for 3 or 4 resups

stage 1 can give 4? resups

and stage 2 around 3

[lean mantle]

Even with macteras I'm too lazy to change all my loadout slots

Fuck it, I'm joining some other dudes lobby

[mystic horizon]

good luck down there

[lean mantle]

Someone else already playing scout so I'll just run engie

[old widget]

Highly recommend some double length plats spaced out around the minehead pit on stage 3, keeps your team out of the pinball zone and helps keep the rollies in their place

[scarlet gyro]

Hot damn that 3rd stage of the elite deep dive is nuts

[tacit jungle]

I'm starting to understand why some people are finding the EDD so hard. My team had the tunnel dug half way by the time the pumpjack landed

[jolly herald]

that pit was hell, i did my best to stay out of it tbh

[jolly herald]

broken plastcrete bridges across the top of the pit made the swarms a breeze though after we had dealt with the landing party

[pure fractal]

EDD Stage 3 is sure hard this week, mostly because the enemy has the high ground (and those Q'ronar rolly pollies), i managed to solo it with Gunner and Rocky Mountain beer.

[raven carbon]

The swarm welcoming you in stage 3 is crazy

Edd overall difficulty is nice though

Not absurd like last week

The deep dive is a drag

Might as well skip it

Salvage sabotage escort

[kindred rose]

Yo, lil question, can corruption grow in an engineer plataform?

[summer forge]

pretty long deep dive but very easy anyways

[rose shore]

EDD done

wasent too terrible

stage 2 was the toughest for me, darned o2 modifier

did it solo scout

[little viper]

Completed my first EDD

Final stage is hell without a driller or engi

[little viper]

Honestly was easier than I expected

Id say a bad team haz5+ would beat it in difficulty

[pure fractal]

Congrats!

[obsidian spruce]

we're going deep

[weak prawn]

Thanks for the heads up, I seem to be not yet ready for EDD yet, this week looks like not the one for trying again 😉

[cyan holly]

opinions about last week EDD?

the current one its kinda chill

[pure fractal]

¿Eres ese?

[cyan holly]

yes

[pure fractal]

Last week was harder, yes

stage 2 uplink + open space + a lot of range enemies and stage 3 HC with 10 was insane lmao

[heavy nebula]

When do the deep dives reset?

[pure fractal]

Every Thursday for me (in about 2 days)

[pure fractal]

pinned message will also tell you when

[heavy nebula]

🤝

[jolly wing]

If we go by utc 0, it's like thursday 11 AM.

[jolly herald]

normal deep dive stage 2 is stingtail warning??

[jolly wing]

Check pins. Its always updated on what mission and mutators are present on a dive

[jolly herald]

heh i know this, no such thing as a stingtail warning

just we had like 50000 stingtails

[modern crown]

pov: you're the bird in angry birds

[mystic horizon]

oops all stingtail

juggled around like a ball

[fallow dagger]

be careful in the beyblade arena fellas

[worldly flame]

this EDD is a steaming pile of shit

[mystic horizon]

i just chuck a neurotoxin nade into the pit

and hear the satisfying death sounds of the youngins

never gets old

[shut glacier]

20 minutes for stage 1

[shell thicket]

Stage 3 being a pain is our ass as per usual

[eager atlas]

died in stage 3 because the game bugged and it stopped recognizing all mouse inputs but left click 🙃

so I couldn't mine or grenade and for some reason also didn't want to press 5 so I couldn't call resupplies either

fun stuff

[tacit jungle]

second EDD playthrough wasn't too bad either, we even tried throwing on stage 2 because someone popped the dread egg while we weren't ready

[pure fractal]

I got this bug in another edd too, pretty annoying.

I was not the host so i could close, re-open the game and join the edd again(that fixed the problem)

[jolly herald]

you were able to rejoin an EDD? teach me this magic

last few times i've disconnected on the third stage that was it, about an hour of time wasted

[manic pivot]

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

[eager atlas]

I've done it through steam's friend list but that means you need to be with a friend and not in a random lobby
if you force close the game or it crashes it usually asks you if you want to reconnect, I think this might work too

[winter veldt]

RAHHH

[pure fractal]

@jolly herald this 👆

[jolly herald]

Have tried this with no success, I assume its due to host disconnecting which kills the lobby

[wary mist]

AWWW Yeah

[tender yoke]

They did that fast

[wary mist]

this aint so bad.

[tender yoke]

Stage 1 and 3 of the edd

Will be the reason that a good amount of the speed runs will be slow

[golden radish]

Finally, nice edd.

[fringe kestrel]

Nice, I've finally time to play DRG again

[mystic horizon]

stage 1 is a bit cramped

[fresh robin]

I wanna try a funny loadout

[mystic horizon]

wow stage 2 is

one hell of a stage

3 barrage infectors in a big room with the egg right near

[fresh robin]

Rocket barrage on this hahhahah

[mystic horizon]

stage 2 is a piece of work on EDD

[mellow cradle]

leadburster time

[mystic horizon]

another room had 2 barrages

with enough cave leeches to make scout want to retire

and theres just a barrage somewhere

with a ton of morkite

[slate musk]

the EDD looks like MADE for some hilarious youtube videos🤣 . Cant wait to see some team wipes

[mystic horizon]

stage 3 was pretty tame

not much stationaries, breach isn't too bad, just be mindful of the tri jaws

[zenith ember]

edd 2 suck balls

wtf is that amount of barrages

more like Barrage Clusters

[mellow cradle]

time to bring cryo bolts ig

[zenith ember]

the macteras on 3rd is also no joke if you intend to get all 3 mules at the same time

alot of nexus too

[pure fractal]

EDD looks alright

[thick edge]

EDD looks neat

mactera plague on stage 3 looks tough but nothing mortar rounds and a few leadbursters can't deal with

[pure fractal]

drillers and scouts with ice guns/grenades enter the room

[mystic horizon]

looking forward to soloing this EDD with snowball driller

snowball and like heavy hitter

should do wonders

only concern i have doing that is the twins cause they caused several run ends for me last EDD

[ancient grove]

how's this week's EDD, miners?

[wanton iris]

aw, if anyone else was in my team when we crashed, ggs

[jolly wing]

Actually. Breezed it

Ran a little trouble on stage 3 due to so many broon nexus

And the mactera

[stoic spoke]

get grabbed by leech
bosco next to me
only shoots after im dead or is on the other side of the cave doing god knows what only to barely miss me
I WILL BEAT THE GUY IN RND WHO PROGRAMMED BOSCO

he wasnt even mining everything he was just hanging behind with molly

had to break it off at the end sadly since I had to go to bed but its a fun dive

[pure fractal]

If you need help, i am free on the weekends 👍

[jolly herald]

its a fun one

had some insane mactera waves

looked like haz5+

mule leg spawn + swarm + mactera wave

couldnt get 3 ECR locks on a single bug

[ancient grove]

I just did it, it was fun

though the cave was a bit of a maze

[jolly herald]

deep dive stage 3 was a buggy mess, floating eggs, invisible terrain and our gunner glitched out

[wanton iris]

I crashed during stage 3 as well, just before fuel cells 😔

[ancient grove]

our gunner glitched out too lmao

he was stuck in place above a pipe

but I managed to get him unstuck by placing platforms all over him

...

wait a minute, we were in the same deep dive

i was one of the engis lol

[dim palm]

Just had a drillevator drop straight on top of half my team and kill them the second we did the last scan

[pale stone]

So I was on level 3
I got bombarded very early on so in went to hide in the drill because it was still there
And idk if its a bug or something but the door closed with me in it, started going up, and dissapear d about 70 meters up leading to my inevitable death

[random jungle]

how's the dd y'all?

[mystic horizon]

if you leave the drop pod and it finishes deploying molly, it’ll start heading out, if you re-enter as it does that then yeah

[winter veldt]

Boring EDD

Extremely easy

[mystic horizon]

yeah nah it was a breeze

stage 2 got a bit tricky in one of the rooms but thats about it

i sp’d into the room and heard like 6 cave leeches reach out

[tacit jungle]

pretty relaxing EDD this time

[jolly herald]

Oh shit it's you 😂

[jolly herald]

this was a big brain play, it was super glitchy in that room - thought i was lagging but it was some weird terrain gen bug phasing my character out

[stoic spoke]

Sure, solo deep dives just feel a bit lonely

[jolly herald]

this room was fun, I was running ECR and got each leech in turn, just as my clip ran out the final leech grabbed me

[mystic horizon]

i flew in forgetting it was cave leech cluster

and looked up in horror

[jolly herald]

someone got grabbed before i went in so i knew it was coming, chucked SSG in preparation - got grabbed by the final leech and ofc the shredders were off tickling the oppressor that had walked into the room instead of saving me

it was truly a horror moment, i think there was like 7 in that room alone

[oblique wyvern]

Certified drg classic

[daring island]

This week hard?

I saw the biomes and went into despair

[mellow cradle]

it's not

[daring island]

Okay good

I just hate fungus bogs

[pure fractal]

same

[plain matrix]

I love fungus bogs.

Please tell me that there’s a mushroom on at least on stage of the deep dive

[eager atlas]

There is

But here's also some green goop

[brittle ruin]

What is this week's EDD

[mellow cradle]

check pins

[magic beacon]

[ancient grove]

I think I was the one who saved you from that leech haha

[jolly herald]

You were in my elite dive too? This was the horrific room on stage 2 EDD with like 3 barrage and about 7 leech

I did EDD > DD back to back but with different lobby

[ancient grove]

oh right I think I got you confused there my bad

[jolly herald]

No worries!

You def got me up on the deep dive when I suicided off the glitched egg platform

[ivory marten]

How bad's the dive?

OH THANK GOD THE BLACK BOX IS FIRST STAGE.

[jolly herald]

Both are fine

[winter veldt]

(boring)

[raven carbon]

Edd was pretty easy this time

[raven carbon]

That one room was close but rest of it was an easy ride

[iron crypt]

this week edd was the right difficulty for me, stage 2 had a kinda spicy room but the rest of the run was fairly smooth https://imgur.com/a/4HB1XdI

[mystic horizon]

this EDD solo is pretty silly

[terse breach]

how so

[flint widget]

EDD was pretty easy

Stage 3 is

a thing

[mystic horizon]

tried scout and got to experience the fun of flying into the room with barrage infectors and leeches without the back up of my team

nearly died cause bosco was like busy doing something

[tender yoke]

Bosco was playing cards with a glyphid

[rose shore]

finished this weeks dd and edd

1st time solo engi them

breach cutter trivialises mactera plague

and lok rifle can scan for leeches easily

[smoky hawk]

True solo?

[summer forge]

What stage Huuli hoarder on a deep dive?

[rose shore]

no, with trusty bosco

[rose shore]

i think that's a rare thing in DD that's luck based, cause last weeks edd gave me 2 horders

[eager atlas]

there was one in stage 2 DD iirc

[last temple]

i just did it today, theres a ridiculous anount of barrage's in stage 2

probably upwards of 7 or 8

then stage 3 mactera plague is just annoying

[drowsy solstice]

Just had one of the smoothest DDs in my memory

just over 30 mins, no knocks, everyone locked in

2nd stage was a tad scuffed cuz of the final caves layout, but that was about it

[drowsy solstice]

EDD was less stressful than I expected\

the initial push into S3 was pretty rough, but point defense went off without a hitch

[obtuse bluff]

anyone want to do the DDs?

wrong chat my b

[tulip badge]

God damn the second stage of the elite this week sucks

[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!
_ _

[winter veldt]

Have you ever liked one?

[rose shore]

its ending is a bit troubling, molly reaches the drop pod with just 30 secs remaining, i can see that being a problem if you don't get to the pod first...

other than that 2nd stage was relatively easy

[wind arch]

Good dd and edd

Way better than last weeks

[quartz karma]

Yeah last week was rough

[tender yoke]

bruh

this warning feels un needed

[wind arch]

Went through the entire edd stage 3 arguing about battlefield and never had an issue, it's so much easier

[ornate atlas]

Ok I know you get weapon cores from deep dives but I thought you got them from promoting a character

I promoted my driller and didn’t get anything

[iron kiln]

I wanna do a deep dive with bad connection 🥺.. Is there a mod or something that can stop people from disconnecting to the lobby until their ping can recover?

I don't want a ping limit. I want my lobby to be able to leave my game on their own terms through the escape menu.

[eager atlas]

what do you expect from mission control

[winter veldt]

that's impossible

did you go to the memorial hall?

[ornate atlas]

Yes

[wind arch]

If it's the first promotion maybe you don't get smth

[ornate atlas]

It was the first promotion

[raven carbon]

That's not correct

[wind arch]

Yeah that's why I said maybe

Because I have no idea

[raven carbon]

After you promote you have to claim the three rewards on the next screen

Did you do that

[ornate atlas]

I didn’t get anything

I got 1 core today and it was from doing the breach mission

That’s the only core I have

[old widget]

all this is in the wiki, FYI. first promo does not give you cores.

https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/Promotion

Promotions of any class beyond the first one provide the following rewards:

One Blank Matrix Core, one Overclock Infused Matrix Core and one Cosmetic Infused Matrix Core
+1 Honor Badge
Ability to continue leveling that class by resetting it back to Level 1

[ornate atlas]

Thank you

[old widget]

all thanks to the wiki maintainers!

i feel like it goes for roleplay

how is the EDD this week

[jolly wing]

Actually breezed this one

[mossy hemlock]

Ez

[wild obsidian]

Can I just see servers in the list who uses the same mods ?

[random reef]

Get better wifi or get people with good wifi

[iron kiln]

Cant do #1 and #2 isnt going to help much but I'll try to find ppl 😬

[random reef]

Well you can always play alone but that is depressing

[jolly wing]

playing with randos is a gamble

i always prefer joining

[golden radish]

Just soloed edd.

It was pretty tense.

It was very nice to find jetboots at stage 3.

But swarms from stage 2 just devoured my ammo.

[analog geyser]

not exactly deep dive related but are certain overclocks excluisve to obtain form deep dives?

i have grinded for i think 100 hours and still haven't found an enfi overclock that i want

idk if its because i have to grind more or i have to play specific mission types to obtain it

[winter veldt]

It's all random

[analog geyser]

got it

then that means the RNG gods hate me

pray for me, miners

[rose shore]

Stay strong, for the RNG gods hate me too

been i dunno 300ish hours and i still haven't gotten special Powder for the boomstick, even though i always choose scout weapon oc...

[high ivy]

game just love giving me random ass cleans from core infuser

im not saying cleans are bad but they're bland as hell

[eager atlas]

the good thing about getting cleans is you won't get cleans later

[mental rampart]

why is every team I'm getting for this EDD cursed

multiple people taking two resups despite not needing it, walking into the leech despite me warning them 3 times

[mystic horizon]

sometimes bosco is just better

my initial team for this EDD was very nice, even though we went in blind the run went very smooth

after that it was just constant shit shows

hollow bough be upon ye

[cold kindle]

Blood Sugar + low oxygen

Looks mad funny

[fresh robin]

dand

welp time to run carpet bomber again

plus mole

for dreads

[cold kindle]

DAMN on normal DD there's jet boots on 1st and 2nd stages

Near drop pod

[jolly wing]

Wow. Blood sugar and low o2 combo

[zenith ember]

tactical egg pulling is now a thing

gotta get that red sugar

[drowsy solstice]

DD looks pretty easy

but blood sugar low 02 is going to be hilarious

for once I will not say a word about heedless egg popping

[fresh robin]

for this deep dive, I wanna try a funny way to fight caretaker by placing two turrets on top of caretaker and em discharge the turrets above caretaker to damage the vents

[mystic horizon]

how was the elite if anyones done it

[winter veldt]

damn

this EDD looks great

(except for low o2)

[eager atlas]

been doing that since I got the overclock, not only it damages the vents, it also damages the caretaker itself during the eye phase, though it's a little boring to shoot the turrets during that so I still jump in front of the eye

also you destroy the shredders as they spawn

[edgy tartan]

3 bulk detonators near the starting area of the EDD third stage, haha

[burnt sierra]

lmaoooo

this sounds horrible

[ivory marten]

Oh god...

[ancient grove]

unlucky, we didn't get a single bulk in the EDD

[edgy tartan]

I didn't even know multiples of those could spawn at the same time, or that you could get more than 2 per game. It was definitely a surprise!

[tame oracle]

industrial

[ancient grove]

Driller with vampire + damaging drills goes hard in blood sugar mode

[crimson crag]

I think that the pod on the deep dives second mission generates in its own room, so make if Molly breaks get close and start digging towards it.

[wind arch]

Is a dreadnought wave coded in

[winter veldt]

Deep dives were easier than I expected

5/10

[eager atlas]

rng is one hell of a thing

[zenith ember]

no, congrats on winning the lottery

[jolly wing]

"(Price is right theme)coooongratulations! [Woohoo!] You are the millionth miner to enter this cave. You WIN a prize! What's the prize you ask? Why.... IT'S A GLYYYPHID DREADNOUGHT! (Party horn sound)."

Edd stage 3 dreadnought

Lucky me

[drowsy solstice]

I got a Dreadnaught swarm recently. good times.

better than back to back rockpox swarms

[finite karma]

How is this weeks elite?

[winter veldt]

super easy

bit boring even

[weak crown]

uhm

its my first time trying to deep dive anyone can help?

[quartz karma]

Could help you in a couple hours if still needed

[drowsy solstice]

stage 1 of edd is as cursed as I expected

10/10 would bunker again

[marsh fractal]

Bro how do ylll get a deep dive under 30 minutes

I mean 45

For the achievement

[drowsy solstice]

get a good team

it also depends on the DD in question

[wind arch]

Not have id as stage 1

[mystic horizon]

this elite was rather fun, stage 1 was a nightmare of wheres molly though lol

that and the tanker pod fell in rather arse spot

stage 2 had a funny room with 7(?) cave leeches lul

and stage 3 was uneventful besides us being broke on nitra

[drowsy solstice]

DD's were good times

[steady mauve]

edd stage two we got horrible terrain

exploders made walking impossible

[novel shale]

complete each mission in just under 15 minutes on average
hope this helps

[eager atlas]

some dives just have very quick missions

you'll get it naturally eventually

[zealous lichen]

what missions elite have this week

[exotic belfry]

See pinned

[zealous lichen]

"Blood Sugar Low Oxygen"

cancer

[zenith ember]

this week is kinda bad to attempt that, but its still possible

[wind arch]

Tbh it wasn't that hard

Just mildly annoying

All the sugar keeps you from passing out mostly

[eager atlas]

no molly challenge

survive on sugar drops only

[marble hinge]

great until you run out of ammo...

[eager atlas]

I suppose that'd be an issue

[near lynx]

Oh this deep dive might be one of the most effed up ones yet.
And on one of my most hated biomes no less.

Attempt 1 was ended at stage 3 deep scan trying to do crystal 2 and secondary pumpjack.
The sheer amount of enemies the level was hitting me was impossible for me to weather. 5.5 swarmageddons when the past 2 missions were spamming you into the next week... This deep dive may have been one of the harshest challenges I've done as a solo scout.
Stabilty deepcore, double barrel jury, pheromones.

I imagine engy/sludge driller/thunderhead gunners will fare way better in this one on a solo basis.

[finite karma]

blood sugar and low 02 first round holeee

[mellow cradle]

I would take cryo or fire bolts if you plan to do scout solo, as they are far better for killing many squishy enemies than double barrel is

[green whale]

anyone wanna help us with edd

keep dying on level 3

swarms are 2 stronk

[clear slate]

what the fuck is the cavegen in edd stage 3

i keep going in circles

[wind arch]

Coilgun is effective too, despite the hard way

First hand account

Was running rotary overdrive

Zero aoe all the damage

At least it helped for the dread wave

[cunning walrus]

Drillers , what build did you go for EDD?

Microwave gun is good because of all) the crawlers and exploders

Ice is good too but depends on how coordinated your team is

[mystic horizon]

imo sludge runs best for this (atleast thats what i ran when i played as driller), sludge (any oc tbh) + persistent plasma epc

though stage 3 can be a bit of a pain in the arse if you run it

(the drillervator part atleast)

other than that sludge is very nice for stage 1 and 2 in CC and shield shredding

[wind arch]

Sticky flame pretty good all around

But then again when is it not

[mellow cradle]

on dreads

then again, you can have your team take care of the dreads

[wind arch]

Epc does decent damage still but yeah

[mellow cradle]

not really, since tcf deals fire damage, and dreads resist that

[wind arch]

Decent better than sticky

Could just take subata if you actually wanted damage but you lose epc mining

[mellow cradle]

people take epc for the mining?

that's a sentiment I commonly see: people taking epc for just the mining, and that makes me sad, because tcf is so much more

[mellow cradle]

and subata won't do much dmg either, because you can't enable volatile bullets on dreads

best bet for dreads is just takimg VIM of sludge blast

[eager atlas]

explosive subata is fine though

also you can set dreadnoughts on fire if your scout has the new overclock drak thing

[mellow cradle]

but on this specific EDD that would be kind of bad against the exploders and swarmers, so I'd say just take sticky fuel or crystal nucletation, and let the team deal with the dreads

[wind arch]

And the aoe of stage 3 ig

I rarely use the epc as is I love the temp shock of microwave much more

[wind arch]

Face melter and build with this scout oc

Trivial

[mellow cradle]

maybe, but it won't last you for very long, especially in a dread fight

[mellow cradle]

except now you and the scout have shitty priamries for the rest of the dive

[wind arch]

Drak hate is unreal

[mellow cradle]

CT is not an overclock meant for combat and hvt kills

it's for support

and it's very elimination centric

and face melter is just bad

[winter veldt]

do what I did and take EFS + trifork

[wind arch]

Facemelter is peak

[winter veldt]

deals a fair amount of damage

[mellow cradle]

pitiful range and ammo
wrecks your ammo economy even further, because it encourages you to kill enemies with the direct stream, where sticky flames on crispr are infinitely more efficient at killing groups

[wind arch]

You don't play around constant stream

It's a swap to microwave for temp shock

[mellow cradle]

how do you deal with swarms though

[winter veldt]

why would you take a direct damage oc just to switch to secondary

[wind arch]

How fast it lights stuff

[mellow cradle]

you could also get the same result with FSD and heat radiance

and that overclock doesn't gut your sticky flames capabilities

[wind arch]

Same thing, build microwave for blowthrough as is with that one oc I forget, quick switch and delete

Sticky flames obvs good but it's exceedingly boring

[mellow cradle]

I guess that's true if they are dense enough

so that the temp shocks chain

that's not a good build for this EDD though, as dealing 200 dmg to a dread is not that much, and your loadout sucks for exploder infestation and swarmageddon

[wind arch]

Yeah that's why I didn't take it

We had no driller for the edd

[mellow cradle]

oof

[wind arch]

Two engies, scout, gunner

It was only dicey on stage 3 because we got a dread wave

[eager atlas]

you already have flow rate in the tree, unless you're taking it twice but ??

also heat radiance doesn't benefit from flow rate

so you just make your heat radiance less efficient

grunts die if they are set on fire so not much of a point on temp shocking outside of larger targets

[outer glade]

whats the blood sugar mutator about

[wind arch]

Enemies drop red sugar but you gradually lose health over time

[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!

[vestal sapphire]

normal stage 3 had so much nitra lmao

i dont think ive ever seen a cave of that size generate that much

[ivory marten]

Basically, you're slowly losing health, but all enemies drop red sugar

[mystic horizon]

it gets very silly

[weak prawn]

I've tried the EDD 4 of 5 times (open lobby/4 players), but never made it past cave 2 :(.

[spare relic]

MANKIND IS DEAD
BLOOD IS FUEL
HELL IS FULL

(ultrakill reference if someone hasn’t realized)

[noble maple]

What are the missions for regular deep dive

[novel shale]

check pins

[noble maple]

Oh

I see

[tidal mural]

what does the deep dive gives (new player)

[mellow cradle]

blank matrix core, weapon matrix core, cosmetic matrix core, for completeing stages 1, 2 and 3 respectively
weapon and cosmetic cores give you the option to forge weapon and cosmetic overclocks, and blank cores can be turned into either one of those after completeing a machine challenge randomly spawned in a mission (normal mission) and using the core infuser

[tidal mural]

O I see thank youu

[finite karma]

EDD this week cooked me

[warped wolf]

honestly solo wasn't so bad for the EDD took me 1h 10mins though coop with a team of 4 idiots was so much harder

[zenith ember]

yeah this edd is really bad if you get clueless teammates

[fresh robin]

I will say, I got a very incompetent driller who kept dying and barely even used his drills to help us
At the end of the drillevator 3rd stage, the host banned him hahahahah

[mystic horizon]

my team run with people was a struggle when i tried engie, stage 3 everyone went down right as a swarm was emerging

wasnt alot of fun fending off so many enemies with the pgl

[jolly herald]

for my own personal sanity any EDD with Swarmageddon & randoms I will always bring VIR

I have made the mistake of not bringing it before... never again

[zenith ember]

my first attempt (and my first fail in months) had a team that somehow keeps dying in the first stage when there is a ditch full of red sugar, then the plat scout looks like he has no idea how to do his job in the 2nd stage

we were out of nitra and for some reason he refuses to run around to find them at all

at least my 2nd attempt had a human team despite the lower promo levels

[weak prawn]

I've made it through the EDD yesterday! Had a great team to work with

I've seen stage 2 5 or 6 times already, so I knew what was coming

[nova tundra]

I approve of c4ing these types of scouts

[mystic horizon]

idk why so many plat scouts like to play battle scout

brother i’ve pinged the nitra 4 times go mine it

This was my first DD & EDD. Completed both in 1 try. 1st stage with low o2 & blood sugar was really exhilarating. I died like 2-3 times on stage 1 but otherwise was a blast. Also was thankful for teammates to not kick me cuz of my low level ❤️

[grand iris]

man, just started the edd. low ox blood sugar was pain. yet somehow the exploders on stage 2 nearly wiped me out. couldnt avoid all the damage since the black box was in a tiny corridor.
wish me luck on the final stage, swarmageddon...

liquid morkite secondary and it spawned on the other side ohlf hoxxes

Gonna be looking for teammates for the Deep Dive hmu

[zenith ember]

Battle scout is such an oxymoron in a team setting

Like yes it works but why not pick any of the other 3 classes

You know, the class with the name "gunner" and has big guns

Or engi with a literal nuke overclock

[mystic horizon]

ikr

its really annoying

when at the corner of my eye i see a hvt

and the scout is shooting grunts

[zenith ember]

Too many scouts do that unfortunately

[jolly herald]

had a guy on reddit go full ape on me because i said i preferred not to play with scouts that wave clear instead of doing what they are best at

[zenith ember]

Leddit moments

[jolly herald]

real

[finite karma]

fr, had a scout who didn't mine a thing, had us hopping up multiple platforms for nitra

[timber flicker]

Also what's up with scouts not using flares? I kept spamming regular flares at the last stage of escort mission to see the buggers.

[exotic belfry]

From what I’ve seen it’s usually a result of mismanagement in Big/complex caves.

If a scout uses too many flares during exploration they won’t have any for combat and vise versa. So while it might seem like they are just stupid, they probably just ran out cause the team took a while to fight/explore. A skilled scout would manage this properly, but in pubs you can’t always expect that.

Ofc there also cases where they are just stupid and forgot, but those aren’t as common.

[timber flicker]

Yeah wasn't the case in my example since all team members hit the resupply before the fight

Also I play as a scout as well and never had a case where I ran out of 'em since I almost always restock before that happens

[opal umbra]

Hey, if you want an active friend group looking to game, dm me!

[mellow cradle]

this week's EDD is quite fun

fun as in moderately challenging

[wanton glade]

Solid option but you'll run out of ammo quickly, you could use neurotoxin for the thunderhead

neurotoxin + fear

[raven carbon]

At first I thought it was a bug

But indeed repeated warnings

Double duck and cover has happened once before

[cold kindle]

I wonder if we we can have 3 same warnings on edd

Triple duck and cover

[fresh robin]

A triple warning is possible for an EDD

but I think that won't be allowed

[cold kindle]

Hm,how rare triple warning are

Right now we have 15 warnings

-lithophage outbreak cuz it's deep dive

So chance to get specific warning are 1/14

Or 7%

Chance to get same double warning are 0,0049.Chance to get same triple warning are 0.000343

Plus EDD not always has 3rd warning

"2/3 warnings"

Also some warnings has specific conditions such as rival presence that can't appear on escort/sabotage

So chances are really small

[golden radish]

Imagine 3 shield disruptions, or, even worse, 3 haunted caves.

[eager atlas]

considering the deep dive selection algorithm doesn't pick the same mission 3 times, I assume it also can't pick the same warning three times

haunted cave is only bad in some missions

it can be ignored in others very easily

[cold kindle]

Oh,it can't?

I thought we're just unlucky

Well,makes sense then

[mystic horizon]

the elite is really easy if you have a driller that leads the team to a proper hold spot and terraforms the surroundings tbh

breezed through each stage without much issue besides having a bit of a shitty terrain gen on stage 2

stage 2 black box is in a bit of an annoying spot but stage 3 is your typical hold

lots of stationaries on stage 3 though

[zenith ember]

ye surprisingly easy for 2 duck and cover

id say 2nd stage has more stationaries in the main area along w the bb

got 2 bulks too, pod dropped in some weird ass tunnel above

[finite karma]

Is this weeks a solid one for engi, last weeks killed my soul

[ivory marten]

God the EDD sounds like hell.

[cold tulip]

The EDD is indeed hell. If you didn't land in the worst spot possible on stage 2 it wouldn't be so bad

[long matrix]

chances of triple doubles?

[long matrix]

yeah

just bring shard diffractor

acids like to group up into 20 when spawning in

[ivory marten]

I'm just saying it's hell because Double Black Box.

One of them being duck and cover.

[cold tulip]

Lol that too

[ivory marten]

I already dread Mactera Plague Black Box.

Duck and Cover must be even worse.

[mystic horizon]

did the stage 3 black box move location or sum

[ivory marten]

It's ever so slightly random.

[mystic horizon]

cause like on my run it was in a spot where a single driller can hold out in it

[fresh robin]

just finished this EDD

...yeah Jet Fuel Homebrew wasn't entirely the best loadout

you get easily overwhelmed by the spitters

[daring tundra]

does this weeks deepdive have any elimination missions?

[raven carbon]

See pinned message

[raven carbon]

It wasn't too bad

I went with a short range sticky flames driller which wasn't the best option

But it worked

[raven carbon]

Short tunnels to the sides anytime a swarm is announced help to cover most of the angles

[mystic horizon]

not required tbh, the team just needs decent crowd control and a solid area to stay at

[winter veldt]

Just joined an EDD that had a gunner who could shoot hellfire out of a bulldog

What's even the point of playing like that

[cerulean harness]

the current EDD is crazy long

[winter veldt]

Stages 1 and 2 are ok, the last stage is very long and annoying

[winter veldt]

basically

uh

6/10 EDD

[weary narwhal]

my day be so fine... then boom... double duck and cover 😔

[tidal anvil]

Mushroom

[random jungle]

lol??

[nimble swift]

3 duck and covers 😭

[mystic horizon]

dac heaven

[fallen parrot]

just did my first deep dive and did it solo

so fun

[sturdy trench]

anyone out there up for a deep dive ?

we have 2 people

[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!
_ _

[random jungle]

yes sir mission control sir

[shut glacier]

y r there 20 Menace spawns in the 2nd stage

4 Bulks???

????

[woeful grove]

this is the hardest deep dive I ever play the number of axit spitter iz insane and Menace spawn just so many

like 5 in 1 swarm ? wat the heck

if I dun play gunner and have his shield to just keep healing with supply I dun even think this run iz even possible to win

[winter veldt]

It is for sure

It's just normal haz5 duck and cover tho

[woeful grove]

I can't really feel it like the normal Haz5 duck and cover because of how much the Menace spawn

there always 2 Menace exist in every swarm and then 2 after the swarm end and 1 extra after that

it just the first time I see 🤔

so it rare momment I think ?

[cold kindle]

Bugs almost get us dead on stage 2.Yes,stage 2.Stage 1 and 3 was pretty calm.But ebonite outbreak overwhelmed us really quickly cuz SOMEBODY DECIDED TO OPEN EVERY SINGLE EGG AT THE SAME TIME

Well EDD this time was spicy who the hell developed duck and cover warning but not as spicy as 9th may-16th may edd

10 aquarqs dreadnought rival presence sandblasted coridors ridiculous generation still haunts me in my nightmares

[woeful grove]

xD

[eager atlas]

Bugs almost get us dead
that's what the game is about yes

[agile trail]

do people even play dd with approved mods?

[mellow cradle]

that is possible

but good luck finding a public lobby with that

[vague lantern]

the deep dives went pretty well for me and my team

as the driller i barely even had any bugs enter my attack range

well, for the edd

i played gunner for the dd and mowed everything down with bullet hell

[gentle hinge]

Got unlucky with stage 2 EDD

Both BetC and a Bulk at the same time

[manic pivot]

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

[worthy snow]

I got 2 bulks and a swarm…

[hearty geyser]

I still need to do my dives, but p2p has been trolling me for a while now, so I keep leaving it for later

[jolly herald]

I keep getting fucking disconnecting from every DD/EDD I attempt, happened again last night

infuriating

[winter veldt]

Host

[manic pivot]

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

[near lynx]

I'm not sure what's going on. I used to be able to do elite deep dives solo consistently, but I've failed both attempts on the third stage in EDD these past couple of weeks. Got me feeling washed up and absolutely worthless 💔
Felt like the black box placement at the end of stage was so cooked I couldn't even keep up with the dozens of acid spitters

[tidal mural]

oh

new dd later?

aaaaaaaaaaaaaa i havent done edd

[near lynx]

Yeah new EDD in a couple of hours.

...So attempt #2 was with a fat boy engy. and the whole mission felt like a pushover as a result. lol

I'm starting to question myself as a scout main now, given how I botched both missions, and both could have been easily pulled off with the fat boy build...

[manic pivot]

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

[manic pivot]

ATTENTION MINERS!
New Deep Dives are now available!

[mellow cradle]

soon we will kno-

[mystic horizon]

oh hey

[drifting tinsel]

surprise

[mystic horizon]

lots of morkite this time

sabotage with rich atmos

sounds fun

[golden radish]

Oops all bossfights.

[mystic horizon]

lmao i just realized that

[mellow cradle]

oops all twins

[fresh robin]

Dang

[violet radish]

satan conjured up this deep dive

[dense nebula]

oh thats a lot of dreadnoughts

[cold forge]

this deep dive was painful, stage 2 made me go insane with all the annoying enemies

[zenith ember]

ayy morkite

oh no low o2

[mystic horizon]

both dives were pretty chill tbh, next to no hassle

[fresh robin]

I have an upcoming midterm exam, i mght be able to squeeze out an extra 3 hours of my time for this

[cold kindle]

You have to fight twins on each stage of DD

Lmao

[jolly wing]

Just make sure to study and get plenty of rest (im asking for the impossible with the latter). So that you wont answer "mushrum" on your exam

[fresh robin]

Imma go Scout
Conductive Thermals with Armor Break
And maybe Trifork Volley or Jumbo shells + Fire rounds

[zenith ember]

yeah edd is chill af

especially with a team that knows how to rush morkite

[misty crescent]

What is black box I don't remember ever doing one

[buoyant gulch]

it gives you hp for every rocket you hit

its an uplink that you can fail and nothing happens

and its a black, box

finally i can bring steeve on my elite deep dive

[feral wind]

Holy smokes I just completed my very first Elite Deep Dive, and I did that solo

I feel so accomplished

[zenith ember]

Its the same box that you need to hold during salvage missions

But just that box instead of the whole salvage

And the box loves to spawn in bad positions half the time in deep dives

[feral wind]

man I feel great after this, I was downed 13 times

at this point I would like to thank Bosco, who was the real MVP during the entire Elite Deep Dive

[timber flicker]

Bosco can only revive you 2 times (4 if you get the 2 upgrades)

If you went down 13 times and didn't fail, seems like you're playing with a mod that gives almost infinite revives to Bosco

[winter veldt]

revives reset after each stage

12 revives per EDD + IW

[timber flicker]

Oh, really? That is op then lol

[feral wind]

exactly, they reset after every stage

and I also used Iron Will twice lol

[random jungle]

twins on every stage of dd wtf

[novel shale]

the only good dreadnought type

[brazen marsh]

the ellite dive is tough

[fresh robin]

finished the EDD

somehow, the 2nd stage was tough
as usual

only 1 death though

sadly I didnt record

I cant rewatch my moments

rip

[cerulean needle]

Guys i figured out smth, deep dives are harder than haz 2

[neon spear]

soloed the deep dive, as scout....
that, was a terrible, terrible choice

[winter veldt]

Decent difficulty EDD
Horrible terrain as always (azure weald)
Score: 9/10

[cunning geode]

Tried new EDD once

My whole team died to the first swarm

On the first one only 1 person get out

Second one everyone died to swarm AGAIN and then I couldn't kill a bulk detonator

[obtuse basin]

kept trying EDD but teams always ragequit leaving just me and my friend

[mystic horizon]

dang ya’ll having major difficulties with this EDD

[obtuse basin]

well i'm new to the game, even last week EDD was a struggle

[mystic horizon]

ah fair

a stable team should be able to pick up the slack though so ig its a team issue

[wicked mirage]

bro what two cave leeches grabbed me at the same time

wtf bosco is stupid as

[solid stump]

What's this week's EDD like? I've never been able to beat 1 with randoms.

[mellow cradle]

didn't play yet, but doesn't look too bad

[zenith ember]

2nd stage has bulk shenanigans and kinda rough terrain, but otherwise p easy
