Either that, or double check that it's not one of the Homebrew Powder overclocks, because there's 2 or 3 different overclocks with that same name for different weapons.

This is the worst Elite Deep Dive third map ever.

Who's making these Deep Dives?

Haunted Cave is the worst warning in the game. I genuinely hope it gets deleted and replaced with a more fair warning.

Simple, the last cave is too tight while there's Haunted Detonator wandering around.

[dawn flax]

I feel like someone didn't enjoy their last EDD

[chilly shore]

i enjoyed

[alpine trail]

I actually really like Haunted cave lol

[finite halo]

I don't like the Haunted warning

With a ghost of a killer detonator stalking you and trying to kill you

[weary walrus]

I too hate that Elite Deep Dives are hard.

[grave crescent]

haunted cave can be hit or miss depending on the mission type and map but i like that it forces the team to all be more aware and in sync

this week benefits from 1. a driller who knows what they’re doing supporting the team and 2. the team actually kiting the bulk and dread to an open area because fighting them in a hallway is a damn nightmare

[tranquil gulch]

i didn't think the haunted cave on stage 3 was a deal-breaker, but the cave the cocoon was in was a problem

my team should've baited the dread somewhere else but we didn't and by the time it was a problem it would be very difficult to fix

[frail sluice]

how do i deal with duck and cover as driller 💀

[chilly shore]

jump around and do not stop moving
use some kind of sticky primary (long range flamethrower etc)
stun c4
if things get really hairy, drill into the ground in a zigzag tunnel and leave fire behind you

[frail sluice]

i was bringing cryo gun but ill try that

[stable saffron]

I’m gonna die

[lime hollow]

I usually roll with FSD Crspr, wide lens wave cooker with HE grenades and it works out pretty great. Fire makes the mactera real sad and a well cooked HE grenade is always a good option to fall back on. Spitters and webbers are squishy enough that the wave cooker can make short work of them. Other than that, the dirt is your friend. Your literal home turf. Get in and get cozy when the air gets a little too thick.

Weekly Deep Dives information for 2025 May 15 to 2025 May 22 (Week 295)
Deep Dives will reset <t:1747911600:f>

DEEP DIVE
Region: Glacial Strata | Code Name: Driller's Passage
Stage 1: 7 Aquarqs + Black Box | Exploder Infestation
Stage 2: 200 Morkite + Black Box | Rich Atmosphere Shield Disruption
Stage 3: Escort Duty + 150 Morkite | No Mutator

ELITE DEEP DIVE
Region: Radioactive Exclusion Zone | Code Name: Ruptured Retreat
Stage 1: 2 Dreadnoughts (Hiveguard & Twins) + Black Box | Exploder Infestation
Stage 2: 10 Aquarqs + Black Box | Duck and Cover
Stage 3: 200 Morkite + 2 Eggs | No Mutator

duck and cover 10 aquarqs. let's dance

[turbid bane]

Exploder tiem

[lucid frost]

for anyone who did either DD or EDD, please tell me none of them are in a cliff or something 💔

[placid blade]

holy black box + duck and cover?

[wraith shard]

7 aquarqs 💔💔

[trim crescent]

very vertical aqua map edd

but the entire edd is a 20 min mission so theres that

[cold kindle]

Or we're getting extremely lucky

And still getting our beloved mutator even after chance of d&c appearing in deep dives was reduced

Or devs didn't reduced chance of d&c appering in deep dives

And we was just extremely lucky to not encounter it for a while

[clever raft]

I don't know why, but Shield Disruption on Black Box (Standard DD as I'm not good enough to do an EDD) scares me

[lucid frost]

leaving zone for a sec or two is fine

(doing EDD lol)

[untold saddle]

you can fail the blackbox and just redo it

it doesn't fail the mission

[jolly gulch]

Duck and cover

[chilly shore]

interestingly, in season 4 the deep dive seeds appeared to be int32s (signed, up to 10 digit numbers)
in season 5 they seem to be all positive numbers up to 6 digits, in fact none have been greater than about 130000 which suggests to me that for some reason it's an unsigned 17 bit number maxing out at 131072.
In this case, because the seed pool is so much smaller that means there's about a 1% chance that two deep dives from the same year will have the same seed assuming seed selection is random and independent

[drifting tinsel]

entering seed 131072 resets the global seed for the dive to 0, so this would be correct! using -131072 gives you the same global seed but a different set of missions, so there's definitely been some negative-integer-tweaking when it comes to global seeds in cavegen.
theoretically, we could end up getting the same global seed as a previous dive, but if it was converted from a negative integer then it would give you an entirely new set of dives. biomes, objectives, everything. some cave shapes will stay the same (but that's because of complexity limits in dives tightening the cave pool).
loading previous seeds already generates different missions (new RMAs and objectives have altered that a ton), and even egg hunts from S5 but before patch S05.08 will look entirely different ( ˶°ㅁ°)

[safe leaf]

I wonder how well STOS+RJ250 engi would work this EDD

[grave crescent]

this week’s deep dives are not nearly as bad as the last 2 weeks imo. EDD stage 1 has great places to fight the dreads, and stage 3 has no modifier. stage 2 is definitely where it gets the most sketchy so mobility is super important

[novel flicker]

Stage 2 was pain

[spring creek]

gonna promo engi soon. any tip on deep dive for me?

[raven carbon]

See pinned messages for guide

[chilly shore]

pretty well, i did it with damage stubby and rj and i felt stos would have been better for ttk on spitters
the one thing is that lok1 is generally annoying to fight hiveguards with but thats not a run defining problem

[median jasper]

Man that double morkite wassannoying

[signal sinew]

is it possible to consinstently complete elite deep dive on gunner?

[bleak oriole]

i suppose all classes can consistently complete EDDs (perhaps excluding scout). gunner is definitely one of those classes that can beat EDDs solo

[signal sinew]

okay, maybe im not so skillful to complete it solo

[chilly shore]

yeah all classes can solo, though there is some variation in difficulty based on loadout
it would take some very weird mission generation for a class to get locked out

[paper kettle]

im gonna be honest last EDD was one of the hardest ive ever seen

ofc that's also not considering my luck that we got a naturally spawned Hiveguard on the first leg

[deft holly]

man the second edd map is a pain in the ass even with jet boots

spent like 20 mins looking for that one last aquarq lmao

[pale steeple]

Pressed Alt + F4 when saw it)

[signal sinew]

When i started black box event I regretted that i dont dig myself into the rocks and stone

Fighting shooting bugs on the open area is the biggest mistake

[ancient pewter]

Guh, this edd is kicking my butt

[royal wasp]

did someone say rock and stone?

[steep kestrel]

just tried a deep dive for the first time!
it gave me exploder infestation and stuck all the health on the cieling and then instakilled me 3 times in a row with an oppressor

why

[opal tartan]

Cuz f#€% you that's why
Better luck next time mate
I ain't even touching that mode xD

[steep kestrel]

second attempt i got charge sucker into swarm which got me instakilled again

this game really hates me huh

[sharp cradle]

This week's EDD Black Box second stage involved me (Scout) exiting the upload circle and running in circles in front of it to distract all the bugs lmao

It's okay with a little preparation, duck and cover on haz 5 is always rough

[loud cape]

why would host kick everyone out on 3rd mission start? is this some cringe reward minmax meta

i know he did cause i was the last one to be kicked

[grave crescent]

no that’s likely them raging for whatever reason, or the host didn’t care about the cosmetic overclock from the last stage and quit after getting the weapon oc from stage 2

deep dives don’t give enough rewards to be grinded imo

[raw harness]

Any tips for engi solo edd?

I barely have any overclocks

[chilly shore]

stage 2 duck and cover will definitely be the hardest part
on that stage always keep moving to reduce your chances of getting hit. if you have to stand still (resupplying or building turret etc) either kill all the spitters or try to make a bit of shelter with platforms. Use bosco to dig aquarqs and nitra instead of standing still.
For builds, the best bet without overclocks is probably 11123 stubby because it's good to have something fairly precise and ranged for duck and cover. Usually i would recommend breach cutter as a secondary but for duck and cover since tons of enemies are on the ceiling, maybe PGL with stun+fire would be better for hitting spitters and making you a bit safer. For grenades either take shredders or lures. Try to get into stage 2 with some spare nitra so you can use resupplies as health packs if needed. If you have the Resupplier perk, take it to make resupplying faster and recover more health.

[mellow cradle]

I also recommend VIR for duck and covers

[grave crescent]

yeah i personally would probably run stubby and shard diffractor for precision sniping dangerous enemies even without oc’s

something to be said for breach cutter against mactera too but i like whipping out diffractor to hit a spitter from across the map

[chilly shore]

yeah shard could also be good, especially in solo where there are a bit less bugs and pgl aoe size is not as critical. just be careful because it slows you down while shooting which can be dangerous in duck and cover

pgl with the instant shot and aoe stun is handy for large spitter groups and mactera. Shard is better for lasering smaller numbers of targets at range, and is better against dreads in stage 1. if one of those doesnt work, try the other one and see how it goes

[weary walrus]

Commynity

Darn mods, always stealing those free gift cards. 😢

[spring creek]

tip: play engi
stage one: exploder? pop a few turrets
stage 2: block one path in the black box tunnel and pop turret at the other entry (don’t block the one you came in. you gonna need it to escape later on)
stage 3: m o r k i t e
stage 4: profit :3

i recommended for you team to have 2 engi, 1 driller and one scout for this deep dive

idk about the elite one cus i haven’t try it yet (no good overclock yet)

[steep kestrel]

i have 0 progress on engie im a driller main 😭

[gentle plover]

I lost connection on the last stage of an EDD moments after calling the Drop Pod

I wanna lay down and cry

I didn't tell to him use engi tho?

The microwave is a driller weapon

[spring creek]

oh

microwave gun is driller...

[spring creek]

i really need to stop abusing turrets and start using other classes

[steep kestrel]

im currently working on trying to promote all the classes lol

scout is fun

engi is so good in this game tbh. he is so flexible on every mission on this game

[drifting tinsel]

im sorry cj

How so?

[cold kindle]

Kill caretaker
Destroy dreadnought cocoon
Wait a bit
Rock and stone

[ancient pewter]

oh lol

[drifting tinsel]

sabo+dread is easy cheesy until a gunner throws down a leadburster that hits the cocoon on accident

fun either way

[atomic citrus]

we die with the stock engie

[cold kindle]

Caretaker final explosion kills not only all rival tech in the area

It kills bugs as well

And it deals huge damage

Just be lucky enough

Cuz twins can casually enter their invulnerability phase

Also rich atmosphere

Looks fun

Not hard but fun

[fresh robin]

[cold kindle]

I suppose. Cuz cave gen can go brrrrrrrrrr

[fresh robin]

this EDD, time for a full on Rival tech loadout

[cold kindle]

Bastard rival tech is everywhere these days

[chilly shore]

ive discovered that the caretaker dread trick works even better if you pop the egg while the caretaker is still fighting
because caretaker explodes twice. once when it reaches 0 health, and again after it falls over

[grave crescent]

two EDDs in a row where the second mission was the biggest sticking point, the vartok spawn in the chasm is brutal

[exotic palm]

Thanks for the useful hint worked very well. Caretaker just wiped out them

[indigo peak]

Last week's second stage left me genuinely exhausted

Duck and cover is literally just worse mactera plague

[ancient pewter]

No grabbers, if nothing else

we didnt even have an egg

the twins spawned as soon as we defeated the caretaker, who both went down instantly to the caretaker's implosion

Easy deep dives this week

Two bulks spawned in stage 3 during hacking

Opened the egg and everyone dies

The egg is also quite close to the caretaker I imagine if bulk doesn't spawn then caretaker can kill the dreadnoughts

[mellow cradle]

yes #modded-gallery message

[vague lantern]

the funny thing is, i find that cryo is actually by far the least safe driller weapon to use against any amount of macteras more than one or two at a time without specifically snowball

and i dislike snowball because it loses me ammo when shooting normal quantities of grunts

unlike the crispr and sludge pump i have to commit 100% to getting the freeze or it's worthless

it's probably just an issue of me always taking wave cooker with cryo lol

[mellow cradle]

or you can just take sludge, and be good against both mactera and robots

[lime hollow]

For sure I'd rather have the crispr 100% of the time for mactera. Fire is already nasty but the fear chance seals the deal. It's also just way more flexible for most situations. FSD just makes it a powerhouse of consistent damage from very safe distances

[mellow cradle]

you had me with you, untill you said "feach chance seals the deal"

then, you didn't have me on board

[lime hollow]

I like my flamethrower spooky, what can I say

Especially for duck and cover, I like bugs doing anything but shooting back when I'm in the trenches with the boys

[mellow cradle]

I bet the 20% fear factor (so 10% chance for most bugs per fuel spent) is going to do just that, especially on FSD with lower RoF

[lime hollow]

It absolutely does, try it sometime

If I wanted to spook all the bugs I'd play gunner but just hosing fire into a cloud of mactera for 20 minutes it gets pretty good mileage to the gallon

[wraith shard]

If it works it works

[lime hollow]

I'm also a filthy HE grenade user so who knows

Someday I will master the art of the ripper and stop throwing them in horrifically inconvenient places

[sturdy widget]

Fellow cooker enjoyer 🤝

Stage 1 felt super easy with pump, charged shot per mactera wave and charged shot per swarmer nest and it was already over

[spare dawn]

What are the rewards for this Elite deep dive?

[mellow cradle]

I got umanite, not very exciting

[mellow cradle]

serious answer: the elite deep dive has the same rewards as a regualr deep dive: 1 blank core, 1 weapon core, and 1 cosmetic core

the weapon and cosmetic cores are random

• Disable your mods (can do so by using the Safe mode launch option)
• Update your GPU drivers
• Reinstall your drivers using DDU so all leftovers are properly removed
• Try launching with dx11 (Steam only)
• Verify the game's files
• Try to install the game on another drive
• Try to install vc_redist.x64.exe from microsoft website
• Make sure your save is not corrupted (back it up somewhere, then delete it from the game's folder)

[old widget]

There's a particular cave/chamber combo in EDD stage 2 that is pretty painful. Deep scan target down in a nasty pit with turrets and a scalebramble shooting dwarves in a barrel. Definitely recommend engi / driller do some terraforming work

[thorny geyser]

Most of our downs came from stage 2 due to ceiling crawling with acid spitters.

https://images.steamusercontent.com/ugc/15365449204042797621/511D0E81816622DECF4913A0C6C9DBEBEB659BB0/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

[ashen surge]

Thinking about making a short weekly video about the current deep dive in a "intel debrief" style. What sort of info would be useful?

[thorny geyser]

Terrain, to be honest.

A lot of dwarves don't really pull back to easily defensible terrain and go down because of it.

[cold kindle]

Hold on,how did you posted image here

[mellow cradle]

you can do that

[low gate]

I can't

I ran a gunner with bullet hell and it makes a lot of spitters and stuff quite easy to deal with

#drg-gallery message

and its not cause of duck and cover, bullet hell is all I run cause it's fun to just hold left click and stun homies with my aura for the squad to take out.

[paper kettle]

idk whats up with MC but he keeps yapping about the pumpjack even though we completed the mission already...

[lime hollow]

did the EDD solo this week, was a really fun time. For a 5 scan Deep Scan it wasn't a huge pain in the butt. I ran Gunner with 32123 Carpet Bomber and 22311 Six Shooter. Keep those barrels hot fellow gunners, this is an ammo hungry EDD to be sure but the nitra is very abundant. Tons of mactera and menaces on every stage, I would definitely take the hurricane if I were to run this one again.

terrain on the last stage is absolute buttcheeks. If you have a driller to clear all the hoodoos out that's all I was dreaming of the entire time I was fighting

the far pumpjack room is a good place to fight at first glance but the sand trawlers were relentless in that room. Idk if that's just me though

[gray gulch]

cwc cryo works right guys?

wait i mean, exothermic cwc with cryo?

[burnt sandal]

it works, it's not ideal IMO, but it works

[gray gulch]

yay

[granite spire]

Just did the EDD! It was the second one I've done, actually didn't seem that hard

Hated DNC in the second stage as I was running driller

But it was fun

[grave crescent]

honestly this deep dive isn’t too bad, the main obstacle is just annoying terrain and finding the objectives before ambient waves kill you or drain your team’s resources

the stage one and stage two layouts are super confusing

[fresh robin]

TBA

[drifting tinsel]

not anymore

[fresh robin]

oh boi, can't wait to fight TBA

TBA new boss????

[drifting tinsel]

i'm still trying to figure out if i can automate the whole dreadnought-fetching process so i don't have to go do it in game (｡>﹏<)
new boss TBA would be fucking fire though

[celest river]

pain

[mellow cradle]

I wish R&D would find a way to automate this process

[misty osprey]

D&C always attend to rock us recently

Full mutated EDD?

[drifting tinsel]

EDDs will always have either two or three warnings, i think it's been a couple months since our last triple-warning EDD

oh nvm we had one at the start of may, lmao

[wraith shard]

Are any mutators besides double xp and mineral mania blacklisted

Oh and secret secondary

[mellow cradle]

lithophage outbreak warning is also banned

also I don't think I ever saw gold rush or golden bugs on a deep dive

[wraith shard]

I'm the one person in existence who probably wishes it wasn't

[mellow cradle]

also just confirmed with the archive, those never happen

[reef pine]

The devs don't want people to farm deep dives. So anomalies and other things that increase player payout, like crafting minerals and lost gear, never show up in deep dives

[novel flicker]

You are one of at least two

[grave crescent]

i mean i see why it doesn’t, since it would be a modifier adding a third main objective but it would be cool maybe as a custom secondary kinda like black boxes

[void night]

Okay, that is some very nice code. From what I see you use someone's else API for fetching the Deep Dive Data, but perhaps you could help with some insight into how DRG works. Basically, do you know if normal missions are chosen on the server side for all players, or are they chosen on the client's side? I'mr eally interested in doing something like this, BUT it would show current missions in the rotation.

The API that you use only provides Deep Dive data and some random resources, so I can't really utilize it. I also researched a bit, and people believe that I would need to do a lot of reverse engineering on the game's side and straight up try to predict what the game chooses.

[cold kindle]

Absolute disgusting,isn't it?

Worst biome

Three warnings

Last stage is a freaking aquarqs + black box + duck and cover

Well at least not 10 aquaqrs.

And warnings are bad,but it could been even worse

[summer idol]

two bulks spaning in deep dive while drilling down is a banger

[wraith shard]

I love bulks on deepsxan solo

[grave crescent]

stage 3 edd is quite something

that blackbox definitely benefits from a team who can manipulate terrain

[drifting tinsel]

it's server-side, see http://doublexp.net/
repo for the site: https://github.com/rolfosian/drgmissions

[drifting tinsel]

forgor to ping reply oops

[void night]

This is exactly what I was looking for

Thank you so much

[mild salmon]

I think there is no way to predict ur local missions :/ maybe there is a logic to it, but its nowhere officially disclosed.

Oh i didnt read further before replying xd

[twin ore]

This week's EDD looks good for the car pool achievement. On most of my retries i saw at least a harvester in the room of the egg / hacking pod. Now i only need to be able to achieve it

And there's a M U S H R O O M to ping in the third stage which is always good

[fresh robin]

would like yo ask, can the increased fire rate mod of the minigun make it overheat faster?

[chilly lotus]

It should be, but no

[fresh robin]

wdym

[chilly lotus]

No

[novel flicker]

If it’s anything like in normal DRG, the minigun gains heat while in the firing state, not per shot
So fire rate has no effect on heat gain
(phrased this way JUST IN CASE there’s like, unmentioned gameplay mods involved, you never know)

[drifting tusk]

anyone down for the deep dive

[lime hollow]

did the EDD solo again this week, genuinely awful experience lmao

Played Engineer with EM discharge, Volatile Impact Reactor and Plasma Burster grenades. It fired on all cylinders to get me through it but those are some brutal warnings and the Black Box on stage 3 is absolute hell. Do not miss the jet boots either, they're in a small alcove near the minehead.

Ebonite Outbreak might be my least favorite warning, especially on regular mining missions. Molly is sooooo slow.

I took red rock blaster for this one because it was on tap but if I had to run it again I'd definitely wait until a pickaxe empowering beer was at the bar. A Slayer Stout or Skull Crusher would have really hit the spot, especially when the goo bombers started flying under my roof

[bold nimbus]

[civic basalt]

I just got my first promotion, what's the difference between a deep dive and an elite deep dive?

[pliant yoke]

EDD features a higher difficulty level scaling than regular DD

DD is Haz 3/3.5/3.5,
EDD is Haz 4.5/5/5.5

[leaden leaf]

hm

[novel flicker]

Also EDDs can have 2 or 3 warnings
DDs have 2 warnings

[harsh sedge]

If anyone wants to join me in a deep dive, I'm in the pod 3 vc

[tropic jackal]

last mission of this edd is insanely brutal

[junior lion]

EDD was kinda rude this week.
Unstoppable came in clutch on Gunner.

Though I got lucky with finding some great dwarves to run with, everyone was firing on all pistons and while we almost ate it on the last part of the 3rd dive, everyone got out alive!

[rugged plume]

i did EDD solo scout
i had to """under bunker""" in stage 3 for the black box 😭

[silk flare]

Lol what is it about this community and just folding as soon as a ranged enemy shows up?

EDD group just got smacked on the third stage, nobody followed me into the hasty drill shelter.

And all three of them burned their Iron Will at the same time.

I've never seen another game where one can make new cover so easily, where the average player is so unwilling to use it.

[lime hollow]

You tend to need more pings for direction in D&C missions, especially if someone gets in trouble and is pelted by 30 web spitters

I always get surprised by it because it almost never happens but when you get webbed you are straight up blinded by the screen overlay lmao

there's a lot of panic and just not being able to see a bunker entrance through the sheer numbers of bugs and projectiles

[wraith wharf]

D&C can be easily countered by just running around non stop, which is what you should be doing anyway

if u happend to get hit by web spitter while mining then dash

[lime hollow]

you are going to get hit in D&C, saying it's easily countered is just plainly not true in an actual game

it helps but you're absolutely getting tagged sooner or later

[wraith wharf]

it's from experience u will very rarely get hit

ig it's not easy to remember to move around all the time for casual players

imo magtera plague is worse since u have Mactera Tri-Jaws that predict your move direction

[lime hollow]

just move 4head works every time

[wraith wharf]

I know D&C looks terrifying but soon you will realize they're just glorified vfx

even swamers have higher chance touching you

[chilly shore]

being in cover is tricky in d&c because it also means the ranged enemies get that cover and can use it to sneak closer to you where it’s harder for you to dodge

[lime hollow]

I'm mostly talking about actionable advice to newer players having trouble. I'm a modded-difficulty Andy on most days that hasn't touched grass in years. I do not have trouble skating through a D&C mission.

[wraith wharf]

that's exactly why I said what I said

most dangers can be evaded by constantly running around

and this is the best thing new players can do to improve their gameplay

[lime hollow]

this doesn't account for terrain or blindness. Moving is great if you can, positioning is better. Especially in seeded runs where consistency can be achieved to some extent. "Just move it's not hard" doesn't quite cut it for greenbeards bashing their head against a particularly painful black box

it is absolutely one of, if not the most difficult modifiers in the game depending on who you ask

[wraith wharf]

positioning only works if your team is cordinated and has enough fire power to hold that position

you can't do that everytime when things go haywire and it's best to just learn to navigate around on the fly

for example a bulk spawns on a greenbeard lobby, you know they're running

[lime hollow]

As someone who plays them solo, positioning carries hard

[wraith wharf]

all in all it's just playstyle preference i guess

[vague kernel]

you could totally mineral farm this week's dd

[feral robin]

This week’s EDD was easy if annoying

[pliant yoke]

Lots of dreads this week in edd

[cold kindle]

Time for a round of pest control, team

[pliant yoke]

But at least it’s not on the map with the black box

[cold kindle]

By the way my guess was correct

We got d&c

D&c curse is back?

[drifting tinsel]

every moment you aren't running, the duck and cover only grows closer
it is inevitable

[ancient pewter]

Hope you like hiveguards

[fresh robin]

it be funny if it'd be a double duck and cover EDD or DD next week

[safe leaf]

D&C is fun if a right loadout is taken

I found out RJ250 on engineer is exceptionarily effective, since almost all D&C enemies have low ignition thresholds and HP pools, the grenades have good range, juicy AoE and unlike shard diffractor don't inhibit mobility in combat at all

For primary I'd take MPA or Executioner
Exec performs better at range in eliminating individual foes
MPA is better at holding the line thanks to Turret Whip whose AoE and explosive type is again favorable against D&C

MPA/Exec mixed with Shard is still reasonably effective, and will most likely fit this one better as it offers better dread melting potential

[lime hollow]

Get me out of the fungus bogs 😩

Two weeks of exploding farts and sticky floors

[raw harness]

Week 300 soon

[median coral]

no Fungus Bogs no

[sly eagle]

i went into stage 2

"oh well this should be easy"

entire team dies to betc jumpscare

[maiden tusk]

almost happened to my team too

[hybrid cliff]

Is it just me or is there no umanite or enor pearls in the REZ during the dive?

[mellow cradle]

minerals do not spawn on deep dives

but you might get a hoarder

[hybrid cliff]

At least I’m out of the exclusion zone, that’s my second solo dive

[oak geyser]

Wonder why the embed only worked here... Oh well, soon it'll be eradicated.

[raven carbon]

You only get gold and nitra unless you get a hooli hoarder

Edd was quite easy and very fast

Third stage warning is just for the name

[raven carbon]

It never left

[cold kindle]

True

[woeful pelican]

When I see a breather I pick it to death, I’d rather not have them living a life where all they do is breathe and filtrate, nothing else

[vague kernel]

there are no minerals, compgold/bittergem, error cubes, korloks, seasonal events (nemisis, prospector, data deposit, lithophage anything, corestone), or machine events during DD/EDD, you also don't get XP for minerals or kills

afaik doubleXP can't show up on dds? can't confirm this tho

lithophage cannot show up as a warning, altho rival presence can

[vague kernel]

didn't the week after they introduced D&C have like 4 missions with D&C between the dd and edd

[weary walrus]

People complain about D&C but imagine 2 games with Ebonite or low O2. Much rather slot in a weapon to deal with long range and have 2 D&C across the Deep Dives than any other hazard. Annoying, but easily countered if you check your loadout.

[vague kernel]

mhm

d&c escort can be rough

and d&c drillevator

i do agree on ebonites being worse tho on every front lol

even with skullcrusher they're still annoying, but without they can really screw you over when they weave themselves into swarms

i wonder, has there been a deep dive with ebonites + volatile?

I've done an ebonites machine event before with the volatile anomaly and it sucks ass

[weary walrus]

Fully agree it is annoying. Ebonite just requires distance from Molly, but honestly a good Bunker with D&C makes it easy. I love Arqs and D&C

[drifting tinsel]

no volatile + ebonite combo yet, but there was a volatile + lethal combo back in december (regular dive though)

there was a dive in season 3 that had volatile + shield disruption. you try to vampire something and you end up losing more health than you gain lol

[vague kernel]

it is possible to melee smtn without taking volatile dmg

it's just like stupid precise

[misty osprey]

Bet c alone no problem, a lot of bugs reinforcement is another example. Looks like bugs will be triggered when bet c engaging although clear mobs before activate bet c?

I encountered a bulk and bet c together in a success edd, luckily fighting in flat ground with possible in and out at same time

[weary walrus]

How was your week?

[wraith shard]

Quick question about the new normal deep dive, what missions does it involve

[wraith shard]

Is this for everyone?

[burnt sandal]

pinned messages, which is updated weekly

[wraith shard]

Thanks

[cold kindle]

Damn that would be really...disgusting!

Cuz you have to melee ebonites, but meleeing 'em causes 'em to explode and explosion damages you!

Well there's actually some safe distance that allows you to melee ebonite and don't take damage from explosion

But it's still annoying

[hasty lily]

best solo character?

[umbral tendon]

what are deep dives i just started playing?

[mellow cradle]

#deep-dive-discussion message

[umbral tendon]

thank you

[hybrid cliff]

I go with engineer since utility with platforms and Bosco can nab the high up ores. Also engi in my opinion has the best all-round arsenal

[chilly shore]

if you are new enough to be asking whos the best solo character

then you are new enough for engi to still be trash

(relatively speaking)

(probably also new enough to not be bothering with difficulties where comparing characters actually matters)

[sly eagle]

tbh i like scout or driller solo

[inner wedge]

who wanna go to elite deep dive?

[lime hollow]

tbh it's objectively the one you have most fun playing. Every character has some way to deal with any situation barring a few unicorn situations that should not be looked at specifically when discussing the average. This is a long winded way of saying the class you're the most comfortable playing is and always will be your best solo character even 1500 hours in when you're playing silly difficulties just to feel something because at true graybeard status every class becomes the best solo class.

||that being said at the very beginning for me it was Gunner. Ammo and damage is king ||

[agile sparrow]

Depends on gamemode you playing at the moment really.

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

_ _

[low gate]

scout

[raven carbon]

While any mission is doable with any class, scout has the least viability in all point defence missions.

Solo scout struggles hard on escort and salvage, and to some extent on sabotage and deep scan

On higher difficulties. On lower difficulties the question is moot.

[zenith pulsar]

engineer or scout. But basically, all classes are good.

[vague kernel]

engie has turrets for overwatch, imo clutch for things like exploder infestation solo, and plats can let you terraform a poorly positioned black box or fuel cells if needed. If you play it slow and patient engie can get pretty much anything done
scout, mobility, you can kite basically anything and having flares to see things helps a lot, can struggle with BB and other situations that take away that mobility tho
gunner, shields are obv a good panic tool and the dps is fantastic ofc, but can struggle with mobility otherwise
driller, struggles a bit with single target depending on the build and mobility can vary based on cave layout, but he's got plenty of tools and the ability to terraform similar to engie

it ofc varies by build tho, with the right build gunner can be pretty mobile even during a fight and scout can have dps and crowd clearing

LURE / pheromones / steeve are great for just anything that can draw agro, and helps to clump up the enemies as well

also depends on the missions ofc, for example cryo driller is just not that good on sabo and somewhat lacking for a solo elim

gunner and scout can struggle if you get a really nasty refining cavegen

if you get haunted + mining or elim you're kinda just screwed either way solo?

driller could prob deal with haunted mining, other classes prob not as much tho depends on the cavegen a bit

well you want to ping mushrooms do you?

I can say "mushroom" via shout framework i don't have to play in that disgusting biome!

[lime hollow]

I like to ping a mushroom as much as the next guy but I'm up to my knees in goo and it smells like mission control down here

Its been three weeks lost in the bogrooms

[timber sphinx]

my engineer is going insane

I think he's been huffing the gas from the poison shrooms

[drifting tinsel]

fun fact, resonance crystals have been the #1 most frequently occurring secondary objective across all dives in season 5
this week, it is now tied for first with the refinery secondary! wonder if it'll still be in first next week?

[timber sphinx]

I think I'm seeing other dwarves run around in the corner of my eye after I ate that mushroom down in the bogs

[cold kindle]

Makes sense

Cuz this is new objective

It clearly has increased chance of appearing

Or we're incredible lucky

[drifting tinsel]

and somehow we still only got 4 blood sugars (⸝⸝๑﹏๑⸝⸝)

[cold kindle]

SUGAR! RED RED SUGAAAAAR!

Can't wait for volatile guts + ebonite outbreak combo 🔥

This anomaly + warning combo is much worse than some double warnings combo

[reef pine]

This is very first Deep Dive week where there are no repeated primary and secondary objectives across both dives

It finally happened

[sly eagle]

oh god edd stage 2

[next blaze]

wow, this one has all the neat combos

dreads needing single target on stage one, followed by escort needing aoe on stage three

mactera plague on the uplink defense, so much tougher to dodge if things start to go wrong

and then blood sugar on escort, where you're constantly traveling away from all the red sugar you need to pick up

and have to fight directly through the spawns to reach any of it

[fresh robin]

dang

this edd is making me debate whether I should try aoe or single target

[mellow cradle]

the first stage is only haz 4.5, and it has no warning

I think speccing into the following defense oriented missions is much more important

[cold kindle]

Btw i just noticed that it's week 300

I should drink some blackout stout to celebrate that

[raw harness]

Fungus Bogs third time in a row dang

Second worst location imo

If next week gonna be bogs or hollow bough im done with this game

[cold kindle]

If next elite deep dive will be one of following biomes: hollow bough, fungus bogs, glacial strata then i'm gonna tip 500 credits to Lloyd in one sitting

[median coral]

Fungus Bogus just adds insult to difficulty.

[tulip perch]

mactera plague

stage 2 sucks

Normal deep dive was an experience

We had a random dread spawn

1000 kills

[tepid raft]

I just did part 1 of my first ever elite deep dive and I didn't die!

[little jay]

question

l

loadout suggestion for gunner for the deep dive?

[hearty ginkgo]

@drifting tinsel good games

[drifting tinsel]

thanks, rock and stone! <3

[mental estuary]

sorry wrong chat

[raven carbon]

Edd was fun

Third stage is potentially problematic due to blood sugar

Elite threat is a no warning warning anyway

[raven carbon]

Elite or standard?

The breaks in swarms on escort and uneven terrain to go back and get sugar can make it tricky

[cold kindle]

I disagree

One of the most unfair warnings in drg

Elite menace

A lot of health, almost immune to fire/ice

Deals ridiculous damage to dozer

Elite acid spitter

Extremely unlikely but still possible

Elite bulk

[mellow cradle]

elite enemies aren't that big of a deal
they just have slightly more hp, and are resistant to some statuses

and I don't think there were menaces or bulks in the pool for stage 3

at least I didn't see any

[little jay]

Elite

[chilly shore]

we had elite grabbers

[mighty raptor]

i prefer having them over "duck and cover"

[sly eagle]

man this edd kinda stinks

i blame it on fungus bogs

nothing good ever comes out of fungus bogs

except for mushroom

[turbid bane]

How do you build snowball

[chilly shore]

the standard cryo build 11132

[uneven lava]

this deep dive is bs

10 gazzilions spitballes on the last stage of dorreta + blood sugar

[maiden tusk]

blood sugar is literally a huge positive?

[uneven lava]

not when there is 10 elite praetorians and all of the sugar is in the previous cave system

[maiden tusk]

there wasnt 10 but okay lmao

[uneven lava]

still doesnt change the fact that blood sugar is a run ruiner sometimes, especially when you have no means of accessing it

[vague lantern]

Blood sugar is ironically more difficult below a certain threshold of difficulty due to a lack of bugs

Rip green beards who try it out on a low haz first

[humble reef]

rip edd, server disconnection just arriving at hearthstone

[maiden tusk]

ye but it was at last stage edd and it was escort i dont think theres lack of bugs lol

[woeful pivot]

we started the 3rd stage with like 0 hp and while we waited for the first wave we were in a death loop lol

didnt help the scout and driller were newbies

[gaunt loom]

just did the EDD. The amount of mactera on stage 2 was kinda nuts. i'd recommend cryo grenades, cryo cannon and/or smart rifle. I told my gunner to bring mortar rounds and that was a big mistake.

Also, don't forget to bring the sweet tooth perk (30% more healing from red sugar) and more health on your armor instead of more shield.

[mellow cradle]

people should have more health on their armor anyway, always

[gaunt loom]

why

[mellow cradle]

because you don't die in this game to chip damage, but rather to high bursts of damage
and more health protects against that better than 5 shield

[raven carbon]

I did elite with gunner. Burning hell, triple tech chambers with nct.

Need the crowd control particularly for stage 3

[raven carbon]

It is not on escort. Long tunnels and periods in between where there are no spawns.

[mellow cradle]

it's very good by the end

[raven carbon]

Blood sugar is a positive on steady swarm missions or point defence like salvage.

[mellow cradle]

but not so much during refuel

[maiden tusk]

refuel doesnt take that long lol

[mellow cradle]

you can easily lose half hp during refuel

if you don't get any sugar

[raven carbon]

Yes and the thing is everyone does so that makes the whole team more vulnerable on the next swarm

[mellow cradle]

and if someone took damage on the ride, they will just straight up die

[raven carbon]

New players struggle a lot with blood sugar is what I've noticed

[mellow cradle]

and if they are to go back to the tunnel for sugar, that wastes time

[raven carbon]

In this edd I had 18 revives and 3 deaths, 2 greenbeards on the team

Most of the deaths third stage

[raven carbon]

Exactly why they kept dying

And prioritising becomes difficult on blood sugar for new players

Mining nitra instead of picking off swarmers

[maiden tusk]

well with greenbeards it happens even if theres no blood sugar

its funny to see people get surprised by stationaries during the escort when the doretta drills to the next cave i always quickly check the map to see when its gonna drill through to prepare myself

[humble reef]

we did farely well, tho our party was all

• level 450-1000 players
• previous stages were like 12 minutes each

in that instance we even skipped a few nitra veins (first stage we collected only like 200 nitra)

ik some greenbeard edds ive done lasted minimum an hour with people re-exploring the same caves and wasting downtime, not readying; it's rough sometimes

[chilly shore]

the blood sugar experience:

• if things are going well you cant die
• if things are going badly you cant stay alive
• neither option is fun

• also the fps does nothing but decrease

[hoary shale]

guys why is that only when i join dd and edd my connection goes down? I mean, in every other mission almost don't have lagging problems...

[glad cipher]

Anyone else experiencing on shot kills on the dreads in the edd

[mellow cradle]

no...?

are you sure you don't have 2 scouts with CT?

[glad cipher]

Our gunner was glitched and taking no damage and dealing one shot kills

[mellow cradle]

maybe it's an unmarked modded lobby

aka cheating

[glad cipher]

Gunner wasn't the host

[mellow cradle]

that can happen too

if you are certain, take it up with the host

[glad cipher]

Either way we quit and restarted the DD because it was no fun

[quartz flame]

I'm something like 400 hours in and have never done a deep dive. No idea what to expect. Are they roughly 45 mins?

[chilly shore]

yeah, each stage tends to be a bit shorter than a normal mission because there are no random side encounters

[quartz flame]

ty, still not sure if i'll ever get one done. looks like the rewards are good though

Nobody has completed a deepest dive?

[mellow cradle]

there is no such thing in the game as a "deepest dive"

[wraith shard]

Guys I have 2 questions:

1; is there a way to check out ping without being as vague as "close, medium" and "far"?

2; what does conductive bullets for the stubby smg do?

[quartz flame]

Did someone butcher one of these wiki's with a ridiculous amount of references to deepest dives then? I've seen that before where they change resource names or something to mess with people.

It mentions it in the flavor text in the huge preview image lol

[tranquil gulch]

fandom wiki is heavily griefed. use https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/ instead

if you see something like that on a wiki, use a little personal judgement

does it seem real? no? then it probably isn't

[rugged plume]

rule of thumb fandom wikis are never trustable

[quartz flame]

thank you lol, sounds like whoever does that should be making their own game instead of willing things in to existence.

[burnt sandal]

a lot of fandom wikis are fine. The issue stems from fandom being assholes and pushing ads everywhere while keeping the communities from shutting down old and not-in-use wikis

[quartz flame]

id legit try a mission with all hazards though

[rugged plume]

like, all warnings?

[quartz flame]

yes, i had to look up the proper term on the right wiki 🤣

[raven carbon]

Not glitch it's a cheat

Even if gunner wasn't the host

The host can do it for everyone or one player can do some hacks

[empty geyser]

The other day, the driller in our deepdive c4'd us all, and then left. IE, tried to make us fail on purpose. Well too bad gunner are blast resistent and I was at full health. Leaflover behaviour

[turbid bane]

I ran into a driller that dug a perfect uplink shaped hole for 300m downwards, is that also a cheat or just a weird glitch?

[burnt sandal]

weird glitch

[maiden tusk]

Only if you join the game and turn on network stats in options>ui

[woeful pelican]

Conductive bullets allows you to use platforms and sentries as teslas iirc

As per question 1, idk now to answer that

[wraith shard]

Any tips for soloing a deep dive?

[white wing]

Dont take any perks related to helping other dwarfs (Field medic for example), Give bosco 3 revive packs, if you play gunner take the options for a small, but long lasting shield

[tranquil gulch]

question: was there or was there not a betc in edd stage 2? my team tried it once and there was a betc. unfortunately, we lost during the uplink/refuel segment, but when we tried it again, stage 2 had no betc.

are they something that isn't affected by dd seeding or was something else odd going on

(we beat the whole edd 2nd time around, btw. to my team yall were great)

[burnt sandal]

was the number of player different ?

[tranquil gulch]

no, although our scout was a different player

[nova oasis]

I had one on my first attempt. Didn’t see one on my second attempt that succeeded.

[high pollen]

Attempted my first elite deep dive nearly 200 hours in. We got to the final stage and dotty was at the core. But we just got too overwhelmed with bugs and we failed 😭 But hey it was fun to finally see what a hazard 5.5 is like

DEEP DIVE
Region: Radioactive Exclusion Zone | Code Name: Secret Shelf
Stage 1: 7 Aquarqs + Twins | Haunted Cave
Stage 2: 200 Morkite + 2 Resonance Crystals | No Mutator
Stage 3: 4 Eggs + 2 Mini-M.U.L.E.s | Shield Disruption

Stage 2: Escort Duty + Liquid Morkite Well | No Mutator
Stage 3: 5 Resonance Crystals & Drillevator + 150 Morkite | Low Gravity Swarmageddon

[mellow cradle]

looks like the slowest EDD in a while

👴

[drifting tinsel]

slow edd and fast dd
perfectly balanced, as all things should be

[mighty wind]

How slow is slow? Should be doable in 45 mins?

[mellow cradle]

doubt

you can't really speed up escort duty, and drillevator you can only speed up to a certain point

IS you can also only go so fast

[mighty wind]

I missed the 5 resonance crystals on part 3 too. Yeah might be a slog

Plus it looks quite nitra intensive so time to mine plenty

[radiant cove]

not fungus!

[mellow cradle]

true

[gaunt loom]

do the deep dives reset 6 am PST?

[mellow cradle]

no

they reset at 1 pm CEST

which I think is 4 am PST

[cold kindle]

Okay

We're eating bad tonight

But

At least no disgusting biomes such as bungus fogs, glacial strata

Long ass edd

Three extremely long missions

At least mutators aren't that bad

Just stick to your drilluh and you'll be fine

[trim crescent]

doable under 30

my bad, maybe doable under 30 if industrial isnt crazy tunnels

[thorny lark]

if sub 8 sabo, sub 30 possible 👍

[dark talon]

who would win in a fight rivals or the infection?

[cold kindle]

Dwarves

[dark talon]

yeah but in this case the dwarves are not here

[nova oasis]

Dwarves

[dark talon]

the dwarves are not here in the question

[wraith shard]

EDD anyone?

[radiant cove]

holy crap! stage 2 of the EDD has a truly massive cave

[nova oasis]

Dwarves is always up for a fight

[long matrix]

second stage deep dive being ||huge cave drilldozer|| is actually diabolical

[rugged plume]

literally cave complexity 4

[turbid bane]

Salt cave generating big rooms?? Unheard of

[drifting tinsel]

RMA_BigBridge03 jumpscare (vine boom)

[vague walrus]

just got an amazing mission configuration where all three crystals were in the same corridor

never been so lucky

[spare minnow]

EDD today is insane

the cave generation in chapter 2

[bitter cipher]

Bring Special Powder to the EDD if you have it, won't regret

As soon as I saw the room I said "thank fuck I'm not stuck looking for fossils or ebonuts"

[raven carbon]

Sabotage Escort and 5 crystal drill

Does not sound worth the effort

[junior lion]

Epic Deep Dive was rough.
Lost our driller on mission one pushed ahead anyways, quickly found out that I am not a strong enough engi player to make up the difference.
and I swear to Karl those rolly pollys on missiong 3 were out for blood bro.

[pine mango]

Why's the game crashing for me

Like I got into the info screen, enter the game and crashed in the loading screen

[turbid bane]

Okay, what weapon/class annihilate these rolling fucks

[sly eagle]

mission control kept yapping about the mobile tanker pod

we already completed it like 10 minutes ago!!!

[cold kindle]

It happened to me a lot

When objectives are drip scan + liquid morkite well then after finishing morkite seed collection MC said "taker pod on site bla bla bla bla"

[radiant cove]

we had it happen on escort duty both last week and this week with my friend. Bro just kept yapping about the tanker pod

[slow magnet]

I've been trying to do my first deep dive today but can't find any games or players

tried to do it solo and almost made it past the first stage but right at the end died

Bosco carried honestly

[slow magnet]

mfw i learn that people can't join a deep dive that's ongoing and that's why I didn't get any players

[slow magnet]

we failed again cuz instead of waiting for the dreadnought that spawns in like the third wave, they went and broke an egg and the dreadnoughts killed everyone

[nova oasis]

Bosco hard carry

[spare minnow]

Honestly I loved this because I was scout, so I had time to type TANKER POD every time he said something

[spare minnow]

You had a dread in the waves? Which stage? I didn't see any other than from cocoons

[slow magnet]

stage 1

[zealous vortex]

How have the deep dives been past few weeks? Haven't touched DD in a hot minute

[chilly shore]

edd this week is long but id say low/average difficulty otherwise
dd is easy, hardest stage is 1 where you have radioactive crystals, tight spaces, dead ends, ghost, dreads, radioactive praets -> basically you arent allowed to exist anywhere

but as long as you dont try to do something silly like solo it as gk2/zhuk scout it's fine

[zealous vortex]

Sounds good. Been practicing with engi till I'm confident enough to do DD again. I like em and the rewards are nice.

Probably gonna hop back into em frequently

[vague kernel]

i mean why would that be a problem? if you have like cryo minelets or phero or anything like that to take care of small swarms, scout can just kite everything

hell the turrets on the minehead can probably solo the dread given enough time

[lime hollow]

Remember your Elemental Insulation perk for this one if you're not super comfortable with deep dives yet. It will save you a ton of hp in this one

[chilly shore]

ok well the full context is that I force the difficulty to haz5 and don’t use pheromones so sometimes I forget how much easier the dd is usually, xd

[vague kernel]

fair

i mean yea if you play scout with 0 CC then you're not gonna do great

gk2/aise and doublebarrel can handle the job pretty well tho

[tranquil gulch]

dd was very free this week once you get past stage 1

[vague kernel]

fr

[warm willow]

who will go with me to the deep dive?

[trim crescent]

haz 3 scaling means in duo you can 3 shot a twin with tcf blast if its ct'd so honestly, real

[raven carbon]

Driller is pretty good. Either set them on fire or sludge to peel off armour.

Inferno breach cutter can also do a decent job.

Freezing them doesn't help.

[tranquil gulch]

not completely true, they don't stop moving but they do take the 3x damage multiplier

[short tapir]

guys have anyone saw the generation of this elite deep dive?

[tame sail]

stage 2 is a doozy, havent been able to go past it

it is escort with liquid morkite secondary, supe big chambers with little nitra

[vague lantern]

Freezing dreads does everything it's supposed to... But for all of half a second unless you have them ct'd to hell

[slow magnet]

what's the strat for EDD stage 3? my made it through stage 1 relatively easily, managed to fight out stage 2 but ran out of nitra and ammo, the lack of nitra completely screwed us on stage 3

we couldn't find enough on the stage to keep fighting

[hearty thorn]

There were bunch of loot bugs, but I guess your situation was that bad if you couldn't survive to find nitra

[drifting tinsel]

i played with a pub team that knew we'd need the nitra for stage 3, so we only called one resupply for the heartstone fight. this might've been a shitty thing for me to do, but i was holding more than enough nitra in my pockets for another resupply but i didn't deposit it specifically so we could be more aware of our ammo usage. we made it through the fight just fine, we had slayer stouts at the bar :P
nitra went in and resupply went down as soon as we touched down on stage 3 and from there it was smooth sailing

so i guess the strat is just to prepare (* ´ ▽ ` *)

[fresh robin]

somehow this EDD was hella fun

quite long as well with the industrial sabotage, escort and drillevator mission

I managed to get 1k kills lmfao, twice more than engi

well maybe because I was carrying a team of greenbeards yeah

killed most of the swarm while they mostly focused on the objective

[tawdry roost]

EDD was fun! Key was definitely only using 1 resupply on first mission

Biggest challenge was stage 2, where there wasn’t much Nitra. Digging ahead definitely helped us prepare and tip the scales in our favor

Stage 3 was the easiest and had plenty of Nitra—we had 500+ at some point hahaha

[spare minnow]

I didn't have nitra struggles in the second stage, but that big room had some hidden veins that I found as scout

[alpine mauve]

Did a randoweisser edd with randoms yesterday, it was hella fun

Big refuelling cave on stage has a fair amount of nitra in it, though it's hard to find

[humble reef]

how long has edd taken for people? hoping not to be in for an hour min

[slate hatch]

it's pretty long

robots, drilldozer, then deep scan w/ 5 crystals

i've been speedrunning it as scout and so far I've only gotten a few 40:00s and a couple 41:00 runs, i can probably get sub 40 with good swarms in stage 3 and better caretaker fights

[humble reef]

interesting, ty

[chilly shore]

pubbed it casually at 50m

but it was with full legendary promo team

[humble reef]

Time: 58:11
Comp: 704S/194G/490E/466D (466D is me)

switching to flamethrower and FSD helped with stage one so much omg

with my last team:

• everyone was usually sticking in pairs to do tasks
• communicative and no drama (1 person was on comms for menaces/stingtails popping up)
• good target/ammo priority
• minimal "downtime"
• very competent scout (like they would go to the third z-level of a cave) without going down

god i can't imagine going through this one with maybe two new peoples

[humble reef]

glancing back at this edd, we would be #$%^ed if our scout wasn't even half decent

stage 2 could've taken like 40 instead of 20 minutes and risked wipe without our's

[rugged plume]

i did this EDD solo gunner cluster charges + ttc, it was ok

actually no it was cluster charges + hellfire

[humble reef]

oo, did you see any ammo problems, ive been told stage 2 sucked (it wasn't for ours')

for nitra

[rugged plume]

it was solo after all so ammo wasnt an issue

i got like what, 300 nitra from 1st stage LOL
and only asked for 4 resupplies in the entire deep dive, ind sabo gave me a ton of leniency towards it

[humble reef]

our 4p group had like 4-5 resupplies nitra's worth before starting drillelevator

im not familiar with solo, but that's cool to hear

[rugged plume]

i usually play solo for actually being able to do whatever i want

[oak geyser]

Funny you say this — I'm not done with the DDs yet because me and my team are stuck on one Omaha Beach of an EDD. ^^"

If it's called a Caretaker then why don't it care if we're suffering???
||Because it's the thing making us suffer! :D||

Aaannndddd now we failed!

[oak geyser]

Second attempt — failed.

We made it farther this time... By that I mean we made it to the third Caretaker phase, not the second this time... We were still on stage 1. 🫠

[vague lantern]

dang i am sorry to hear that

[vague lantern]

it's the caretaker because it's taking care of us

🙂

the caretaker isn't even the worst part of the edd honestly, it's the ludicrous cave size of the second stage escort

[slow magnet]

man I'm really struggling with the EDD

DD was so easy

do I need a new build? I'm using a drak without OCs (don't have any) and nuk17 with embedded detonators. last time I used stubby and shard diffractor without OCs and at least got more done

drak+nuk seems very ammo hungry. I was chilling with the engi build at least

my last team called no less than FIVE supply drops on stage 1, which I think cooked our goose for stage 2

[ashen estuary]

drak without overclocks is very... questionable weapon choice

and zuks are always very ammo hungry so you need an efficient primary to use them (which drak is not)

[slow magnet]

I don't have any OCs other than the embedded detonators for the nuk17

[vague lantern]

scout without certain overclocks is always low on ammo

[mellow cradle]

if I were you, I would just run m1k + boomstick tbh

[vague lantern]

If you really have so few overclocks, the only hope might be to get a team that can handle themselves well

Or just skip this edd

[slow magnet]

it's not even a week since i started playing lol I'm a greenbeard

i got no useful overclocks

[slate hatch]

embedded detonators is an amazing oc and you can get extreme ammo efficiency with it if you put the right amount of bullets into the right enemies

no useful ocs on others can be annoying as scout though, maybe gk2 for ammo efficiency and pretend you're playing l4d2, kill low health bugs about to attack people, kill swarmers, etc

ai stability is a game changer

[still geode]

M1k doesnt need ocs to be good

[digital briar]

once you get all weapon overclocks what does stage 2 deep dive reward?

never mind, I just needed to be more literate

[tranquil gulch]

blank core

once you have all ocs you get a blank core any time you'd get one, and you get mineral cores in place of cosmetic cores once you have all those

[raven carbon]

Electric reload is the real game changer for gk2

Essentially infinite ammo

1 bullet per grunt even on hazard 5, 4 player scaling

No need to target weakspots

[ashen estuary]

aise and er are for different purposes

aise is one of best options for single target damage

er is crowd clearing

[slow magnet]

oh wow I need that

ammo is the only thing I struggle with on harder difficulties. if there was a way to crowd control with an m1000, that's all I'd use

[hard flicker]

I need help with completing EDD i tried with random's but no gud

Or is there dif chat for this?

Wow
Okay gonna go fuck myself ig

[burnt sandal]

you can try #lfg-steam

[raven carbon]

ER works for single target too but slower

[hard flicker]

Oh there is actualy a thing for this

[raven carbon]

It'll take a long time to kill big targets but it'll make them basically incapacitated

[ashen estuary]

yeah but like

triple arrow crossbow is right there

[raven carbon]

Boomstick is simplest for crowd control

So are some crossbow builds

But boltshark is a little trickier to use

Has a learning curve as you have essentially two secondaries

[slow magnet]

boomstick has a range problem tho. if you run out of ammo on your primary you're cooked

[raven carbon]

Grapple hook is the ultimate weapon for unwanted fights

[slow magnet]

tfw you're fighting for your life and the scout is just swinging around like a monkey and not helping

but yeah, i agree. if you've only got the boomstick, you can in theory get closer by grappling but that's gonna require more skill than I have for EDDs

[obsidian quail]

need scout for EDD pod 2

[raven carbon]

In general playing scout is more work if you count it as number of clicks/keypresses

[slow magnet]

this is why I'm an engi main

[vague lantern]

There is actually! Though its crowd clear is really only touted by scout fans, super blow through plus cryo minelets or cryo nades (or both) can sweep

I've heard of people running super blow through on its own as well with hipster

As a non scout main, I can only say I've heard of it

There's also electric focus shot with super blow through to also give slashers a middle finger on body shots

[terse ether]

...first deep dive ever
||my 2 worst objectives and haunted cave.||
...yeah no.

[rugged plume]

||this DD is extremely front-loaded, the other 2 stages are incredibly easy||

[honest thicket]

Whats ur best time on this EDD guys? I got it in 1:28 😭

[frank stag]

one minute 28 sec?
or 1h 28 min

[honest thicket]

1h)

[frank stag]

is it hard?

[honest thicket]

for me yh

[mellow cradle]

no

[honest thicket]

3rd stage

[mellow cradle]

it's just very long

we did it blind in around an hour

[frank stag]

damn

[honest thicket]

my teams just always dieing

[frank stag]

ima try it now lmao

[mellow cradle]

meanwhile we did the normal dive blind in 20 minutes and 40 seconds

[frank stag]

i did it solo for the first time

[honest thicket]

we did in 32 mins

[frank stag]

the DD

took me 45

ive come to the conclusion i suck at scout

it took me forever to kill the twins

plus a random dread decided to spawn

[honest thicket]

lol?

in DD can be random dread?

[frank stag]

yeah

[mellow cradle]

that might slow down things, yes

[frank stag]

second time its happened to me

[honest thicket]

never saw it

[mellow cradle]

yes, and this is not tied to the seed

[frank stag]

i also found out

im actually really stupid

so, i was using the uh

whats it called

shield booster for the dra

drak

and as my last tier mod i used the forced venting

[mellow cradle]

[frank stag]

so that was very intelligent of me

[gaunt loom]

what do you mean 'forced venting'?

[slow magnet]

it's actually not that bad

just kite the things around, keep running

there are a couple choke points that stop anything larger than a grunt from following and they end up taking a really long path around the whole cave to get to you

[pliant yoke]

5a mod; pressing R to manually overheat the DRAK, causing it to cool faster. With SBB overclock, overheating causes you to lose your shield.

[gaunt loom]

personally I like aggressive venting with 1,1,2,1,2. It over heats really fast, but it also cools down really fast, and the overheating does a little damage and sends them away for a bit.

it fires super fast

[pliant yoke]

I’d play AV with 31312, but I guess some choices in T1 and T3 mods are preference-based

my casual run of it ended up at 1:03:23

considering that it's a caretaker and a particularly annoying escort i'm happy

[frank stag]

mine took like 1h 10

everyone did it casually anyways

no speedrunning

[vague lantern]

speedrunners probably be doin both power station hacks at once and drilling ahead of dotty while she's on the move to premine minerals and oil

who knows, maybe the optimal strat might be not 4 scouts for once

though it could also still be 4 scouts if they abuse the cryo grenade strat ont he caretaker's vents

[chilly shore]

I think dotty moves slower when you are away from her

we cooking omelettes on this EDD lets gooo

[clever raft]

A heads up for the standard deep dive, there is a Hully Hoarder to the left of the drop pod. Go and get yourself some minerals

[clever raft]

And there is also a jet boot crate on stage 2 of the standard deep dive in one of the tunnels coming out of the main room. Just a heads up. And there is also a BET-C near the drop pod in the same stage.

Another word of warning, standard DD stage 2 I encountered an Elite Bulk Detonator during the uplink. Not sure if it will trigger for other players, but it's good to know just in case

And there is another Jet Boot crate on stage 3 of the standard DD. Sorry for all of these messages. I don't konw if all of these will trigger for other players but I wanted to mention them in case it will help other players

I have to ask, how did the Goo Sack voice lines become a meme and where do you find the goo sacks?

[sinful pewter]

They just simply did and you find them at Hollow Bough.

Frodo: What food have we got?
Sam: Let me see. Ah, yes. Glyphid eggs. And look! More Glyphid eggs. I don't usually hold with foreign foods, but this Glyphid stuff, it's not bad.
Frodo: Nothing ever dampens your spirits, does it, Sam?
Sam: [looks up] Those dreadnought cocoons might.

[slow magnet]

EDD Pubs Thoughts

• Date: 2025-07-03
• EDD: 2025 July 04 to 2025 July 10
  • Week 302
• Mission time: 1:02:43

Party

• 450G (me) / 200S / 100E / 300D
  • Scout left early stage 2

Experience/Difficulties

• [Gunner/Me] Burning Hell/VB gunner build is mostly good
  • Good for solo carry (albeit i died a lot early on)
  • Good mix of area damage/cc/single target dps
    • Great against most stage 2 elites
    • Perfect against stationaries (if scout or driller don't use freeze)
  • Mixed against dreadnoughts on stage 3, make sure to bring actual damage (i.e. 32223@BrH with damage mod)
• [Scout] wasn't lighting up and typing out there's still minerals (i don't think they understood their role)
  • Made stages 1-2 take 10 mins a lot longer than it needed to
• [Driller] Focused on finding scans speeds up stage 2 a lot
• [Engi] Turret stuns helped a lot
• [Duck and Cover] Played in caves a lot for swarms, especially in stage 3 to block mactera/spitter long sightlines

EDD should probs take experienced parties 40 minutes with minimal downtime (maybe level 400+). Newer parties towards 1h30.

[High Ammo] By stage 3, we had like 320 nitra (albeit scout left early stage 2).
