If I haven't been repairing it with my shield up it would have been FUBAR

[crimson drift]

Vitally important information, no doubt. Hehe, I can't help but imagine that DRG sends all its available dwarves every week on an expedition deep into Hoxxes to gather resources for the company. Some achieve the goal and glory, while others, with luck, make it to the Med Bay with grim tales of how they lost their teammates in the cruel jaws of Hoxxes. And precisely these overviews would be something like information brought by someone who was already down there, warning us of the dangers we will face so that no more dwarven lives are lost in vain 🫡

Sorry if any of this was not understood, English is not my native language

[crimson drift]

You lived that mission to the limit, maybe you should consider using carpet bomber on the thunderhead, it works for me for missions like that (I hate duck and cover too, and with escort mission... that's hell on earth)

[opal tartan]

Dont have that ic yet
I was using hurricane with cluster cause I never switch weapons depending on mission Xb

Bad luck with missions today in general

Also double scarebramble on stage 2 sucked too

[crimson drift]

Cluster in Dodge and Cover doesn't seem like a good combination to me, I think it would have worked much better even with the Hurricane without overclock

[crimson drift]

Yes, I think you should definitely consider changing overclocks and weapons depending on the mutations you have, they make a big difference, believe me

[opal tartan]

As I said, I never really change my loadout to suit the mission Xb

[crimson drift]

Well, in that case avoid the dodge and cover missions or make sure your ally carries something to deal with it

[opal tartan]

K thanks xD
Only ever do them for assignment or DD, so basically when I really have to

Gonna be switching to playing driller now

[pallid haven]

i used to not switch changing my loadout but then i started doing it, which helped some
i don’t really know the meta for each mission type though lol

[hidden dew]

duck and cover? stun bullet hell my beloved

[gaunt loom]

aka BI-angulating

[gaunt loom]

my preferred weapon is loki for duck and cover

[bright zephyr]

Hello, im trying to do my first deep dive mission, if i just start the mission will people randomly joining ( if im lucky ) or it will be just me once i enter?

[uncut nymph]

Once you enter, you're on your own

[bright zephyr]

OH

can i jsut exit after i complete the first stage?

[scarlet jewel]

yes

[bright zephyr]

i just ended myself on stage 2, and that was it i didnt know people cant enter

[ashen wolf]

is the cave type of a deep dive mission ever not defined by the primary objective?

[mellow cradle]

it's always defined by the primary objective

[pallid torrent]

This week's deep dive is brutal

7 deep scans

[little halo]

What Debbers said, or more like, secondary objectives of deep dive missions are chosen to NOT define the cave type (meaning, to work with any cave type)

[cunning niche]

need help with the elite deep dive

[main plinth]

are u able to solo a deep dive? or do i need a team of 4?
its not letting me join anyone either is it because its my first time

[mellow cradle]

you can do it solo

just select the solo radio button at the bottom of the terminal

also, you may only participate in a deep dive with a promoted class

[drifting tinsel]

going to need like 2 mins for dreadnought

[ancient pewter]

Or is there no modifier on stage 2

[drifting tinsel]

no modifier, i just never edited the script to add the No Mutator

[ancient pewter]

Fair

Anyway duck and cover escort

Haunted eggs is kind of whatever but that stage one, woof

[hidden dew]

called it

[little hazel]

3 weeks now of haunted edd?

[cold kindle]

That's a long ass dives

[radiant cove]

low G in both dives

[mellow cradle]

I actually kind of hate how low grav is on haunted cave

it limits manouverability

[radiant cove]

low gravity is either a godsend or a pain in the back side

[ancient pewter]

Huh, how does the lacerator's "dig out from under you" thing work if you're on the drillevator?

[radiant cove]

I don't think you can start the drill before killing the dreads

[mellow cradle]

correct

[ancient pewter]

Oh right, blegh

[radiant cove]

though it could happend with a random dread spawn I think

[mellow cradle]

but if you were able to (or got a random dread spawn instead of a swarm), then my hypothesis is it would just die

[ancient pewter]

It bears saying though, thank you for your service, viox

[scarlet furnace]

actually a godsend for last stage, map is spacious and airy af, had loads of airtime

[hidden dew]

dotty took out betc

[tulip lintel]

yeepppp

they love haunted edd

next week were gonna get radio again too as a region

[digital briar]

I always love no dreadnought for EDD

[plain furnace]

10 aquarqs+2 more aquarks

hope morkite @plain furnace isnt on the roof like the last ones

[plain furnace]

edd 3rd stage is hard imo

[ashen wolf]

can i drag my friend into a deep dive even though he's not promoted?

[pliant yoke]

Nope.

[narrow crystal]

what is deep dive about

im not pormoted

[plain furnace]

3 missions back to back with same resources from previus mission (ammo, nitra, gold, health)

all have 2 main objectives instead of 1 main 2 secondary

Off-Topic

this week's DD Stage3 is funy

KEKW BET-C placement

right infront of doretta

instant kill

the spongebob sound didnt even play

[narrow crystal]

wow

so its pretty hard

[plain furnace]

depends

on map

and less about missions/difficulties

sometimes normal is harder than elite

[narrow crystal]

whats elite

[plain furnace]

elite deep dive

[narrow crystal]

is it harder

[plain furnace]

higher hazard from normal deep dive

but again, difficulty depends mostly on map layoud

also, all deep dives are same for everyone every week

aside from few randoms

[narrow crystal]

sounds cool

[plain furnace]

you should try it

once you promote

[narrow crystal]

yeah

i guess

im just trying to get new guns

bc i heard u have to complete certain assignments for them

[plain furnace]

you need to get to certain rank for that dwarf

and you get the assigment on your tab

[narrow crystal]

oh

[plain furnace]

accept it and do the misisnos

after all misisons

[narrow crystal]

what rank is it for scout

[plain furnace]

you need to pay for it with resorices

idk

you can check wikigg

or ask in #drg-chat and someone prob will answer

[languid stone]

DD is horrible this week for speedrunning. Basically each mission is autoscroll. Spent half of the EDD on the first mission lmao

[glossy current]

elite deep dive unreal to solo because of this dumb spitters

[steep vessel]

How deep do deep dives actually go? Asking as a fairly new player

[tepid oasis]

Three stages back to back
With shared ammo, health, nitra, etc.

The difficulty ramps up towards the end (haz 3->3.5->4 for DD) but by the time you reach the third stage you should already be drowning in nitra

[steep vessel]

So multiple missions stacked upon each other?

[tepid oasis]

You still need to extract between stages but yeah
Each stage has two objectives drawn from the mission types you've seen in regular missions

[sleek vector]

Anyone interested in EDD? I'm 80 hours into the game, level 46 and just completed EDD last week

[cold kindle]

dd: haz 3 -> 3.5 -> 3.5*
I know this is weird but yeah that's how dd scaling work

Instead of 3 -> 3.5 -> 4 it goes 3 -> 3.5 -> 3.5

[mystic horizon]

that 3rd stage was right out of hell for the EDD

good lord

[severe ruin]

Anyone interested in an EDD? Il be starting in 10 minutes. Xbox/MS Pod #2

[zealous veldt]

Hey so I still haven't done my first deep dive, I can do haz 3s solo easily, I'm a lil rusty but that's it.

In a team I can do haz 4 or 5, still scared to do my first deep dive, sooooo any tips?

[simple delta]

dont die

[zealous veldt]

Noted 🗒️

[simple delta]

in all honesty, just jump in, even if you sandbag people around you with your incompetence, nobody worth listening to is going to flame you.

[tepid hamlet]

If you can remotely hold your own in Haz5 in a team, a normal deep dive won't be a problem

[jolly gulch]

DD really sucks this week lmao

so slow to do

Hour and 15 minute mission time, yeah we were a little uncoordinated but still

[slow magnet]

just do it

people cant late join a deep dive so be careful to wait for a full lobby if you wanna play with a full lobby

or join another lobby

also deep dives are kind of a speed run so some people like to hit the button as soon as it's available so if you have something you need to do on a mission, tell the team to wait or help you do it

especially on elite deep dives. i can play haz 5 usually but elite deep dives still have me sweating a little. not as much as the "23 downs" days tho

as soon as you're out of that hell hole, the better

[steel saddle]

Just completed my first elite deep dive

Damn was that both fun and painful

The first mission being duck and cover was hellish

A million acid spitter

https://tenor.com/view/arriba-gif-12324188786972117417

[slow magnet]

a lead storm gunner's dream

[humble reef]

psa given i was told edd stage 1 had 160 nitra, i found like 320+

iirc

365*

[rugged plume]

a year of nitra

[simple delta]

anything but the metric system

[ocean shoal]

what time did yall get in the first deep dive

[spare marten]

Does it? I just completed it yesterday in a team of two scouts

that was my first DD either

oh wait your point is about speed not difficulty, yeah that might be true

I thought sabo would be more problematic but it was surprisingly doable... probably because I'm used to haz4 full team hell missions.

[jolly gulch]

Yeah i finished it with 0 deaths, wasn’t hard just super long

Partially because of IS and drilldozer and our engi leaving on stage 2

[tulip lintel]

Be happy its not the 2nd or 3rd where its haz 4.5 or 5

[hidden dew]

so glad i brought rj250 pgl this edd

[rugged plume]

ackchyually stage 2/3 in an EDD are haz5 and haz5.5 respectively

[brave sage]

Hour and ten it was my first one ever

[surreal cedar]

whats the difference between normal and elite deep dives

[manic pivot]

_ _

[brave sage]

Elite deep dives are very hard while normal ones aren’t

[brave sage]

Also elite deep dives are usually set in harder biomes then normal deep dives. Like this weeks deep dive was in sandblasted corridors while the elite one was in fungus Boggs

[surreal cedar]

i mean like specifics

beyond just like different missions and stuff what directly changes between regular and elite dives

[brave sage]

The difficulty of the enemy types the biome the hazard level and the modifiers

If that doesn’t answer your question then idk what you mean

Basically everything gets a lot harder

[rugged plume]

#deep-dive-discussion message

[surreal cedar]

oh ok

its just hazard changes

[ocean shoal]

this weeks dd was the first one where it didn't take me between 30-40 mins

i didn't think it was gonna take that long

even doing the driller c4 on the industrial sabotage

i just don't know how to do the cycles faster

the edd wasn't that bad until the last mission

[hot dawn]

why cant you just rejoin on deep dives? I think rejoin is important SPECIALLY on deep dives, having a "late join" system blocking me from rejoining a mission I was already on, is such BS

so much time wasted because of one little disconnect (from bad ping)

now I know why I stopped playing this game

[next blaze]

if you can find the host's steam profile, you can hit Join Game on them to get back in (maybe friend request first, but randoms have never had to accept my friend request for me to join back on them that way)

it'd be nice to have a dedicated way to get back in, but yeah that's a workaround in some cases

[hot dawn]

It worked for me sometimes but now It only showed a message "you cant join late" or something like that

I was disconnected at the end of cave 2

[next blaze]

oh nooooo, yeah I got nothing then

[weary walrus]

Too funny, I thought the exact opposite. Big, flat room for Casper gives you space to ignore him. We had 250 nitra going into Stage 3 but Escort + D&G was tough to start

[opal tartan]

This deep dive is suprisingly alright

[opal tartan]

You can't?

Even in deep dive menu in bottom left it says you can rejoin

[hot dawn]

Nah, this dumbass game has a feature that wont let you rejoin on later stages

[tulip lintel]

Someone seems upset

[ancient pewter]

God forbid

[spare marten]

Tried this EDD.

After not going past the drilldoser refuel stop, I can conclude my beard is probably too green yet to run EDD solo.

[raw gull]

Nah, this week's EDD is difficult. I ran this weeks EDD solo too and had to repeat twice while both runs were 1h15m

[supple flume]

anyone else have an issue where the drillevator never came down in the first section of the deepdive? I'm super confused

[ancient pewter]

Need to do the secondary first

[woeful veldt]

Where's the best thread on overclocks?

[manic pivot]

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

[wanton iris]

Oof that was a rough one

Had our driller leave mid stage 2 but we got it in the end

[tulip lintel]

ok im goign back to 1440p

the fps arent worth the resolution and view

seeing stuff is more important in this game and it really doesnt need high fps

[burnt sandal]

smooth FPS are more important than higher FPS when it comes to game readability anyway

[tulip lintel]

yeah both were smooth but a 3x - 4x fps count is quite signifcant

but not worth losing 3 inches diagonally, an entire resolution step and the colour accuracy

in this game at least

since its just pve

oh wait i just realised i misclicked that chat lmfao

[vague kernel]

this dd is the 3 slowest missions in the game lmao

[vague kernel]

if you right click the lobby, open the person's steam, you can join them thru steam and from my experience this usually works, else send them an FR on steam

[sour plaza]

the dd and ed was ez heres hoping for a harder one in a few hrs

[vague kernel]

EDD is 4.5/5/5.5, DD is 3/3.5/3.5
EDD has warnings on 2 or 3 missions
DD is always warnings on 2 missions
also lithophage is disallowed on DD/EDD, as well as golden bugs, gold rush, mineral mania, double xp

[vague kernel]

lowgrav scout is fun bc you don't have to touch the ground ever lol, you can ascend the drillevator shaft without the boots if you want even

it makes the next mission very perilous tho bc then you grapple the cieling and die >w<

[vague kernel]

it must vary bc I didn't find her at all actually

[plain furnace]

ah damn

i had one, it got insta-killed by drilldozer

[vague kernel]

peak

[drifting tinsel]

the first time i ran this DD she was in the room after the drilldozer garage drop (and then got run over, thanks dotty)
the next few runs, she was in the refuel rooms, sneakily tucked away behind an arch

[ancient pewter]

(fwiw, though it's a little tricky, Scout can already do that with hoverclock and minimal grapple cooldown)

[vague kernel]

oh interesting

you only need the -1 cd from t4 for lowgrav flight, no OCs

you could use the t1 reduction but the landing speed and fall protection don't matter if you never touch the ground

[ancient pewter]

Oh I meant without lowgrav

[vague kernel]

yea ik

[ancient pewter]

Gotcha

[vague kernel]

you don't have to sacrifice much if anything to do it in lowgrav tho

[ancient pewter]

For sure

Chill-looking edd

[drifting tinsel]

man we havent seen a salvage primary in a very hot minute

[burnt sandal]

watch it be like 4 hiveguards

[drifting tinsel]

PLEASE BE FOUR HIVEGUARDS

that would be so funny

im going to need like 10 mins to fetch dreads though

[ancient pewter]

Greenbeards yelling frantically, a dreadnought in the background roaring, the room shuddering with the noise. Cut to the EDD, where graybeards are whistling, leisurely strolling down the tunnels and picking at morkite along the way. Cut back to greenbeards, a lacerator pinning a gunner to the floor. Cut to engineer humming to himself while tinkering at a mini-mule. Cut to two drillers surrounded on all sides by sentinels. Cut to Scout dangling from the ceiling and putting an egg in a basket.

[drifting tinsel]

two hiveguards, good enough

maybe we'll get the other two next week

[radiant cove]

Cut to 4 leeches eating the four graybeards

[ancient pewter]

Real

[tulip lintel]

weve had that many recently too

not that bad tbh

definitely gonna run mfd on regular

oh

o2

time to take molly for a stroll

[plain furnace]

Me about to fat-boy a new spawn horde
humble mactera thats going mach2:

[cerulean harness]

any dread-viable build for zhukovs??

[mellow cradle]

ED

end list

[cerulean harness]

i need to use that weapon specifically for reasons

[cerulean harness]

rest sucks right?

[mellow cradle]

for dreads yes

in general, CM is servicable too

some people use GR, but I heavily dislike it

[cerulean harness]

yeah is really bad

i'll try ed with ai stability engine

[mellow cradle]

that build is all in on single target and has no self defence against groups, but I guess it can work

[cerulean harness]

i don't have any other idea

secs usually do the horde clear

[mellow cradle]

m1k with BT can clear
so can AV, ER (GK2)

[cerulean harness]

mortal kombat 1 with blooms td can clear so can AV, Elden ring (GK2)???

[mellow cradle]

lel

[cerulean harness]

too many acronyms i lost track

[mellow cradle]

m1000 with blowthrough can clear
so can Aggressive Venting, Electrifying Reload

there, translated from nerdish

[cerulean harness]

oh thx

i'll try that

[hidden dew]

been having fun with a blowthrough electrifying focus shot + elec damage gas recycle + boomerangs build

[sour plaza]

rahh this EDD was easier than the last one

im ngl i miss the duck and cover hard ones before duck and cover got a bit easier

[vestal sapphire]

Crowd control is grappling past your driller and making it his problem now

[brave sage]

Is this weeks deep dive easy

I haven’t done it yet because I’m starting to play gunner

[vapid dew]

I've had way worse

[ancient pewter]

This regular deep dive has a lot of dreadnoughts, so being confident you can take those is a good start

[real barn]

If you can do consitently well on haz 4 you can do well on regular deep dives

[slow magnet]

DD was really easy

[plain furnace]

regular is Haz 3.5-4-4.5
EDD is 4.5-5-5.5
If i remember correctly

[mellow cradle]

regular is haz 3-3.5-3.5

[forest barn]

Both are pretty easy, just be cautious about secons part of the edd, cuz there's a cave leech warning

[brave sage]

Ofc

I don’t usually do the elite one sth

Tho

Bc my friends never want to play

[forest barn]

Ayo, play solo

Bosco can be quite useful, if you're not dying 24/7

Or join someone

Im usually doing deep dives with bosco, bc i can't wait forever for my friends to get in the game

Ofc it's much more better with friends, but im felling like i can do this on my own, soo.. yep

Good luck with deep dive

[raw vine]

The third mission is a little hard for solo

Because its like haz 5+

[forest barn]

Can't disagree with that

Even though, it's still possible,and besides, he can grab someone from discord server and do it. Im myself did it with my 2 friends

[raw vine]

I also did this weeks edd with randoms

But its kinda rng

[forest barn]

yes it is

Because randoms can be..very specific

I know this, but this rng.. is why im never ever start deep dive with randoms

If i need to carry team once, that's fine. But not for the entire hour. Yes, there are good randoms, and i can agree with that

Buuut.. i don't like gambling

So, im doing it with my lads, or myself

Stay strong, and good luck with deep dives guys

[brave sage]

Also I’m a bit new and I’m a scout main so I have little to no crowd control so I get overrun a lot

The DD is easy but the EDD is a bit much for me rn

[forest barn]

You can get someone from discord to play with you, or.. randoms

[brave sage]

I bet if I get a driller and 2 gunners I could do it

Or just one

[forest barn]

There's a lot of a good players, who can help you with edd. But, if ima be honest, the best for now is.. just gain more overclocks, skill etc.

[forest barn]

Kinda ye

One for each, and you'll get it done in under an hour

We did edd with a level 78 engie

Me, my dude, and another one of our friend

Gunner driller engie

You can also do it in duo

Most of the time we're playing duo, cuz nobody else is playing with us

[brave sage]

Yeah one of my friends is grounded and the other one is new and doesn’t have deep dives

[forest barn]

Well,deep dive is closer and closer to updating

So, if you really want to get that extra overclock and matrix core, then.. play with someone

Deep dive can be rough sometimes, espesially for the beginners. If you cant do it, then don't do it. You'll get eventually better at the game, and beat it on your own.

Good luck with it.

[rigid geode]

same here, edd didn't go past 2nd mission. ||battery|| ruined all three runs
going to try it again a few times in 12-16 hours as Engi/Driller because these are my only well built dwarfs

cryocannon Driller to be exact

[tepid hamlet]

2nd mission on EDD was tough but we got it, 3rd one felt like a breeze in comparison

[raw vine]

I think the first one is the hardest

Because low oxygen can suck my dick

Its pure cancer

[brave sage]

What are these missions bro

We have 3 dreadnought

And level 2 and 3 are just swapped

[tepid hamlet]

yeah low o2 is annoying, everything just takes forever cuz molly slow af and nobody can split up

[ocean shoal]

what's up with the 2nd stage bro

it felt like a more enemies 2 mission but worse

and i was playing scout which is my worst class

[lean laurel]

I noticed that too

and the sentinels one hit

[ocean shoal]

nvm ours was glitched

our first one had like 10x the enemies as this attempt

[echo hazel]

genuinely so annoying to speedrun this weeks edd because of low o2 molly is so slow man

[mint ermine]

I'm glad to know it's because of that modifier. I thought I was hallucinating or something because of how slow it was moving.

Man, I'm really struggling with the second mission of the EDD. I already tried with the builds that I “handle best” and nothing. Damn

[echo hazel]

i did the first two the third is extremely annoying for me because of elite mactera

[mint ermine]

I forgot that there's that in the third phase, that's going to be a lot of fun with those flying cockroaches on crack.

[echo hazel]

i got oneshot before my lok could even fire i cant truesolo ts

sadge

[forest barn]

Tried my first true solo,died there too

[vague kernel]

the hiveguard killed me by dropping an icicle on me lmao

[forest barn]

Hiveguard just wanted to show you his love

[languid stone]

lol, those icicles are always out to get me whenever I go to Glacial Strata

[rigid geode]

is it? i've always had problems with eggs. never considered it an easy mission

[forest barn]

there's not as much problem with second one, if you know the drill

laser pointer counter leeches, leadbuster can kill them easially (because there's usually 2 to 3 leeches appromixitely close to each other) shredders, looking up, flare gun etc.

but with eggs? There's not that much of a counter, expect waiting

butt im not sure if this works in deep dives, never tried

[rigid geode]

well, waiting for the next week. this edd took 5 attempts for all them to end at the stage 2
really have no other clue what to do at the salvage defense to stay alive

[tepid hamlet]

More gunner shields, more AoE

[forest barn]

bring 4 gunners and you're good

hell yea

[rigid geode]

i'm terrible at gunner. any tips for semi newbie? have around 160 hours and not much overclocks. getting better at haz 4.5

[forest barn]

show me some overclocks on gunner, and i'll try to help with build, and some basic tips

but not on this channel

[rigid geode]

Where then?

[forest barn]

idk, but i beleve that this will be offtopping

so.. you can message me directly for it

[rigid geode]

i did it!
a little bunker is all we needed for defending events. just a good one though
i done it for the achievement, but not going for elite deep dive any day again before gerring a better pc - last 15minutes i had 3 times of my fps descending into sub 10 for a few minutes. as a result - 21 deaths

but i've got a feeling that i'm playing better now. going for a quick rock solid cheese and dropping out to haz4

[forest barn]

glad that you made it

[vague kernel]

holy they do that much damage?

oh you mean like just the killing blow not from full

[spare marten]

they deal around 35%-40% of Lacerator's health

[vague kernel]

wow ok that’s a bit insane

cuz like they hurt you for sure but it’s like 80 dmg not 1800

[spare marten]

icicle 👍

[vague kernel]

when it hits the lacerator: Nicicle
when it hits you: icle

[vague kernel]

ah they have a friendly fire modifier of 4%

so they deal 1000dmg to a dread but only 40 to a player

+20 on a direct hit

[lethal solstice]

Just did the basic Deep dive with 4 gunners

It was beutiful

[forest barn]

Turned some aliens into thin green paste

Can depend on time to find active lobbies. Usually the the first and last days of the dives are the most reliably active

[quaint stag]

had to do the common dive alone, elites dont even load lobbies, yeah

[fervent gyro]

Sorry didnt saw, im finishing to eat and i send it

[forest barn]

It's all good. Take your time

[fervent gyro]

Just remembered I cant send a picture because im still in a dive (in pause) but when i go in the computer and i click to join a squad, there is the loading screen but nothing happen

[forest barn]

Mm

Might be a bug, or literally no one is hosting rn

I can check this, give me 10 minutes

[fervent gyro]

Not many people do this ?

[forest barn]

Depends on the time

Im not playing with anyone, expect my friends

This might be the case, idk

I've seen 5 lobbies for elite, and 10 for basic one.

Can't beleve there's no one hosting

[fervent gyro]

Can we change the difficulty ? Because im playing alone and i found it almost impossible rn

[timber tree]

Has everyone in this server already done normal DD already??

[buoyant gulch]

man when was the last time we got regen bugs in a deep dive

genuine question

[drifting tinsel]

week 307 normal deep dive (noble bedrock, 2025 august 07) on stage 3

[cold kindle]

D&C and bastard rival tech

Seems fine

[static lichen]

that was a painful edd to solo

[sour quartz]

kind of new to deep rock still stupid questions:
What are the requirements for a deep dive?
I just recently promoted for the second time with my scout, and I was wondering if there any builds or meta or anything of the sorts that are required so i wont get kicked from a party?
(I used to play WoW until recently peeps are crazy about minmaxing there)

[chilly shore]

most people wont mind any build, you can also ask the host if youre not sure what they prefer

if you are in a team as scout most people will completely not care what build you take as long as you shoot some flares now and then

[sour quartz]

hmm I see, so just light, mine, survive and dont be a useless extra?

[chilly shore]

yup people are mostly chill in this game

[rigid geode]

Spamming flare gun, climbing those fancy platforms made by engineer and simply not dying of gravity too much is just great. You can also magnet to c4, nobody's gonna judge it

The rest you'll know either from the chat or by lazer pointer

[lime hollow]

all I ask of a scout is to turn the lights on

being able to just see is the biggest thing you can do. It prevents so much damage

[rigid geode]

Anyway, edd with aquarqs looks like a very tedious thing
Endless waves is something you'd want to speedrun

[sour quartz]

i see

[upbeat minnow]

can we annihilate the guy who decided that swarms should be able to spawn during the black box

[wide kraken]

about to solo these dives with sludge blast/ overcharger burning nightmare combo

[chilly shore]

based based ba

[cerulean harness]

As a scout you can get away with a suboptimal builds as long as you do your job at mining most nitra, illuminate the cave and keeping yourself alive

[mighty wind]

There's 2 groups of people. Those that will kick you because you're not level 200, and those that don't care and just want to play. As long as you shoot flares and grab the high nitra they will be happy

[sharp cradle]

Seconded

[radiant cove]

Holy crap this was one of the hardest EDDs for me and my friend.
We lost to stage 2 on black box to a poorly timed double swarm, then lost twice to stage one (first with the same layout as the first attempt, then my friend switched to scout from engi), and then finally we died to stage 3 just before calling the button (three menaces. yum) and decided to never do this EDD ever again.
What a shitshow. Hollow bough sucks

[proud ridge]

i should try it im only player level 11

[limpid citrus]

Some one to DD??

[weary walrus]

Damn. Just wrapped up a DD where we could not find the last 31 morkite. Beautiful map, terrible color combination for morkite

[little halo]

Thanks to you, i treated my pub team to some Dark Morkite. Luckily everyone leave droppod countdown to grab one & we got quota before the last room.

[burnt sandal]

I'm foreseeing a lot of "EDD is hard" messages this week

[sturdy widget]

That stage 1 is evil

[drifting tinsel]

blood sugar and haunted cave is such a funny combo

[ancient pewter]

Ebonite sucks, but using the caretaker to kill the twins is an option

[cold kindle]

Indabo + dread combo let's gooooooooooooo

You can cheese dreadnought by killing caretaker and then destroying cocoon

[mellow cradle]

wrong order of operation but yes

[strong flint]

Ouch

[cold kindle]

afaik caretaker wipes out area near him two times

After being killed

And after it explodes

But yeah destroying cocoon and then finishing care taker off is much safer option

Since dread might just not make it in time when caretaker explodes

[nocturne rampart]

"evil soil" on the magma biome is fitting

[opal tartan]

But- but it's not soil there? It's hot rock and stone, not soil

[nocturne rampart]

Entrances got soil

[timber tree]

The layout of the map is so weird though

[timber tree]

Tanker pod landed in the worst possible location, and trying to set it up without a driller while a ghost was roaming around was NOT fun

[oblique acorn]

I was the driller on that map... died like 5 times from the ghost while trying to setup the pipe
I swear it was just hyperfixated on me

[timber tree]

<@&296918282403840000>

So, any Hot Tip to give for a Deep Dive?

[jovial python]

don't die
and collect nitra

[old widget]

There's a good overview in the pins here: #deep-dive-discussion message

[tepid hamlet]

Mods, force feed em a leaf lover's special

[inner umbra]

Wait WAIT WAIT WAIT---WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT

[tepid hamlet]

One of the few uses for leaf lover's special

[inner umbra]

I will only drink it if I am so dehydrated that I need an Emergency ReHydrate.

[tepid hamlet]

Other uses include "making sure your drain isn't clogged"

[buoyant gulch]

or if someone swapped ur beer with a blackout stout

[rigid geode]

Somehow we did it blind 1st try
Didn't expect for it to be not that hard as usual. Rich atmosphere on 3rd stage made it almost deathless for me. Though we got a random hiveguard spawn on the 2nd stage. Got one of the best gunners possible and very quick scout for it.

The 1st stage is definitely hardest. I hate caretaker and suck damaging the robots, and it hits hard.

[rigid geode]

Blackout stout is one of the best to sober up

[buoyant gulch]

thats like saying dying in the best way to go back to spawn. yes its correct but thats not what we want

Any Deep Dive elite ?

This sucks but I need the matrix’s

[random rampart]

Five, Hundred, Stab Wounds.

[static lichen]

aye, sabo + twins with only three resups is rough

[mellow cradle]

sabo + who?

[static lichen]

some people don't know the funny

and/or twins decide to dodge the explosion by healing for a total of 0 hp and having invincibility from it

[plain furnace]

sabot? what kind of tank referance is that

[jovial python]

deep dive was shockingly easy this week

[hidden dew]

wrangling molly during haunted cave gives me an aneurysm

kinda wish there was a button to make her stay without automatically following you

[clever raft]

Just a heads up for the standard deep dive, there is a BET-C near one of the cocoons. I didn't know and had to fight the BET-C with the twins and it wasn't easy. Just a heads up

[hidden dew]

there wasnt for me, mustve been in the one room i didnt check

[tulip lintel]

it is so hard to find decent players with good builds oml

[wraith shard]

bosco the messiah will save you

[short dove]

I couldn't believe how ridiculous that opener was on this weeks EDD. I read on the subreddit some comments "pretty easy this week" "good team, ez" I tried 5 separate times with 3 teams. Lack of coordination, and some greenbeardery. There's only about 220 nitra in the first part and the ebonites make it hard to relax in between worrying about ammo and the driller blowing you away with c4. Ended up in an amazing duo as a scout/engi combo and kicked its ass.

[tepid hamlet]

first one was the hardest and it wasn't even close lmao

I killed the caretaker with the very last primary shot I had, was already out of secondary, with 2 teammates down and the 3rd teammate also out of ammo

[opal tartan]

I think I'll pass on this week's deep dive Xb

Haunted cave + blood sugar + morkite well and egg on 2nd stage

[carmine thicket]

Are elite dives normally this hard?

[jovial python]

last week's edd was brutal

so maybe

[jagged rapids]

It varies. Some are cake walks for experienced miners... Others are absolute TRASH.

Tho GSG has occasionally stepped in when the dive is too wild or just bugged

[vague kernel]

damn what does a "too wild" edd look like

[vague kernel]

it really depends on the warnings tbh

some combos, like ghost + elim will just always suck

and the mapgen is obv a huge factor too

[ancient pewter]

Only time I've heard they intentionally rerolled a deep dive was when we got three industrial sabotage in a row

[drifting tinsel]

it was week 173 iirc, the first and third stages on the EDD were both industrial sabotage
nowadays, deep dives can't even feature sabo more than once per set of dives

i'm pretty sure there was also a dive back in 2020ish (i've been told it was christmas week) where the EDD first and third stage were both two-stop escort missions. that didn't get rerolled, surprisingly

oh, dives were also manually refreshed for the very start of season 5. i can think of at least two different sets of dives that were available before the first week's dive was "finalized"

uh question, i currently have the last week's dives,

but they resetted

[drifting tinsel]

restart your game

[plain furnace]

huh

i guess i forgot to do last week's dives and did that

cool

free oc's if you ask me

[hazy yacht]

ok, thank god this week's deep dive and elite deep dive aren't complete ass.

[crystal kindle]

indeed 🙏

[humble reef]

this looks fun, def playing this week

[wraith shard]

So Heightened senses is a need for this week's dives

Fun

[upbeat minnow]

really all you need to do is to have a scout light the ceiling and shoot any leeches you find in my experience

[wraith shard]

For the regulars I like to run alone, but for Elite yeah I'll be more cautious with others

[humble reef]

scored 38:23 with pubs (500/100/1600/1500 level players)

potential difficulties:

• stage 2 egg/boss room sucks to fight in
• stage 3 box (and my game's fuel supply pod) locations are awful to fight in without bug repellent

edd*

if lower level pubs, not bringing CC and HVT-targetting for stage 3 might be an issue?

[slow magnet]

damn this weeks edd is hard

the shield disruption is too much

once you go down, it's over

[halcyon rose]

just got off of a falied dive bc of what i believe is a tantrum thrown by a host in which he thought i double dipped and decided to end the mission, ppl is crazy

[ancient pewter]

Wild

[chilly shore]

all vibes of positive non toxic community leaving my body as i think someone double dipped (i am completely incorrect) :

[long matrix]

Eh, for last weeks dive it was absolutely a game killer because of how little nitra you got in the first stage

Not sure how it fares with today’s dives

[gloomy slate]

Today's dives are much more easier. Crystal caverns

[radiant cove]

hot dayum that was a tough edd

but quite a lot of fun as well

[cerulean harness]

we just got 4 bulk detonators 2 of them spawned on stage one at the same time

[fathom summit]

Took me three attempts to get past it, first edd I attempted. Definitely had to learn some things

[ancient pewter]

It's incredible how that works. I try with pubs both incredibly skilled and otherwise, and fail time and time again, then I have a casual go at it solo, and beat it with no deaths and 456 nitra to spare

[sharp cradle]

If you play with randoms on higher, because of increased bug spawns, you have to trust they know what they're doing, or you're in a dicord vc or something

[ancient pewter]

True

[nocturne rampart]

theres a 7 on the second elite dive map

[tulip lintel]

after weeks of annoying edds

this one is so free

445 nitra spare

[tulip lintel]

cave leech cluster has 1 leech, the stage after has one

and theres like two mactera grabbers

tiny cave

[round laurel]

the normal deep dive has more leeches than the cave leach cluster elite deep dive

[fresh robin]

havent played a deep dive for months now

would like to ask, you guys think there should be some changes to deep dives? I feel like they're starting to get old

I mean, same 3 missions and survive on your own

but I guess that's the best this game has to offer

[drifting tinsel]

if it were up to me, i would give EDD stages a tertiary objectve (which would just be another objective from the secondary pool)
but i know quite a handful of people who would be unhappy about that

Howdy folks, if anyone wants to complete the Elite Deep Dive this week on PlayStation 5 I have a lobby open right now. Come join!

[dusky crystal]

Greetings. Anyone for any tips for going solo Elite dives

[ancient pewter]

Be prepared for uneven terrain, set aside somewhere flat to fight the hiveguard

[lapis lynx]

What’s the difference between elite deep dive and regular, I’ve only done a regular deep dive

[mellow cradle]

while the hazard level for the regular deep dive is haz 3, 3.5, 3.5, for the elite, the hazard levels are haz 4.5, 5, 5.5
and also up to 3 warnings might occur, such as right now

[lapis lynx]

Oh so you he better xp and loot then?

[mellow cradle]

you get more exp and gold, but you get matrix cores all the same

the upside is that the overclock rewards from the EDD are separate from the DD

[lapis lynx]

Oh sweet you sold me

[raw shore]

is deep dive playable alone

(presumably with bosco)

[burnt sandal]

yes

[raw shore]

alr wish me luck

[raw shore]

its easy actually

easy blank core

im down to do the elite one if people are up

[blissful breach]

The good ending

[mental rampart]

I was trying to say that building a bunker is bad if a bulk spawns, then a bulk immediately spawned

On the 3rd stage

was the 2nd attempt too, I'll just come back to it another day

[raw shore]

What's the reward for completing stage 3 again?

I just know i got a blank core for stage 1 and an overclock for stage 2

[chilly shore]

cosmetic core

[ancient pewter]

(mineral cache if you have all the cosmetics)

[hexed pilot]

Whens the time when I should actually go and perform my first deep dive (not elite, my ass aint that good yet)

[mellow cradle]

if you can do haz 3, then you can do a deep dive

[hexed pilot]

I thought the normal deep dives were like

Haz 4 or haz 5 difficulty as it progresses

[mellow cradle]

no

the hazard level for the stages are haz 3, 3.5, 3.5

there are 2 warnings though

[hexed pilot]

Well damn, and here I was expecting it to be higher difficulty

Thanks, I might go and bother friend anyways

[charred juniper]

final stage is haz 4 last I remember, no?

[mellow cradle]

no

it's haz 3.5

[charred juniper]

then edd picks up from there with 4.5, 5, 5.5

[charred juniper]

oh weird, ty

I shall note that

[slow magnet]

Is there a way to get pinged for deep dives?

like a role or something

[mellow cradle]

no, but they reset consitently at the same times

[slow magnet]

yeah but I lose track of what day its supposed to be

[neat relic]

How many cosmetic cores are there?

[mellow cradle]

348

which are just the same 87 cores, but for all 4 classes

[sand vigil]

is there a purpose to repeating deep dives after clearing for the week?

[ancient pewter]

Not really, besides being the exact same cave every time which some people use for speedrunning and stuff

But for concrete material rewards, no

(you do still get credits and exp, but at that point just do three regular missions and get way more)

[drifting tinsel]

HOLY SPEEDRUN DEEP DIVE

[ancient pewter]

Oh goodness ok

Nice

[cold kindle]

Looks alright

Sabo + shield disruption sounds scary

But it's 1st stage

So i think there's nothing to worry about

[clear slate]

damn it

ofc i fell asleep until deep dive reset 🥲

[buoyant gulch]

yay regen bugs steeve time

[night sphinx]

If anyone wants to do a Elite Deep Dive on PS5 I have a lobby open. We need one more person.

[sleek vector]

What's your Engi build for this EDD?

[cerulean harness]

https://karl.gg/preview/47802#/

this one covers every scenario in the game

and i mean it

[ancient pewter]

No OC on shard?

[cerulean harness]

damn i didn't added it on accident

is supposed to be volatile impact reactor

[ember trellis]

yeah i did a reg haz 4 indus + shield dis with 3 others but 2 of them were relatively new and it was hell on hoxxes. ended up with 24 revives and 4 downs and the others had min 12 downs.

one thing i will say is that the dash ability is bloody GOATED

[hidden dew]

looks almost like crowd control executioner and single target vir, interesting

[cerulean harness]

as i said it performs really well in every scenario in the game, it even helps by covering other classes jobs like massive crow control (driller) and prio targets (scout)

[mellow cradle]

ammo and more locks executioner
opinion discarded

[chilly lotus]

Try that on haz 7x2, or another known modded haz
Dont need to tell us the result

[chilly shore]

probably fine if you have good enough movement
a little sketchy with mactera plague maybe, or aggressive 2 bug speed but this is EDD discussion

loadout is fine but calling it the objective best in the game and covering every scenario is a very bold claim

[slow magnet]

i need to make that squidward meme of him just going "feeling daring today, aren't we" as another character orders but with engi builds.

there is a 100% chance that when someone posts a build that they say is really good, it's gonna have Executioner, roll control, VIR, or EM Refire

at least one of those

[slow magnet]

I say we screw the popular picks and drop a fat nuke on the bugs this time round

[slow magnet]

that's me except any time someone mentions Lok1 or shard diffractor. you already know it's gonna be the most bland, tired, and uninspired build.

like we all haven't already played with those same builds over and over

[cerulean harness]

Dude the guy is asking for a build for vanilla, I know the meta for modded hazards is completely different

[cerulean harness]

Is just the meta for vanilla don’t go and expect something wacky or different

If the game isn’t getting balance changes the top picks will stay the same

If they at least buff pgl we may see some loadout changes for a while

[chilly shore]

well at least this guy's build isnt as bland and uninspired considering it's off-meta

[slow magnet]

I don't think you need to play anything vanilla by meta. Especially on engi. there's literally so many viable builds. you can probably easily play with just the base mods and remove all overclocks and still be fine even if it's not meta

[cerulean harness]

I got a really bad team in the Edd I don’t think I would have won if I wasn’t rocking a powerful enough loadout. It is bland? Yes, it is the best option available? Also yes

[slow magnet]

You couldn't have won with any other build? really?

[chilly shore]

i don't think exe vir is the best option available

especially not with ammo and lock limit increase

[cerulean harness]

I was the only one effectively killing waves and enemies. My whole team died to sniper turrets in stage one in the caretaker fight and shard diffractor saved the run hard

While executor killed the limbs

[chilly shore]

sure it's a pretty good loadout. Is it the best in the game? No

[cerulean harness]

Not to say every other loadout is bad but there’s definitely some extremely prevalent options

[chilly shore]

should you recommend it to other people? sure
is it honest to tell them there is literally no better possible option? no

[slow magnet]

it's one of the best by most people's standards. question is, is that best for you. that's my whole gripe with this meta crap. there's a small percentage of people who play only haz 5 or maybe even higher, then they go around telling greenbeards who work 60 hours a week that they should use the "meta" build that they're probably gonna hate using anyway. it turns the game bland and boring, turns people away, and kills fun.

[cerulean harness]

Yeah probably my bad

[chilly shore]

i do think vir is particularly pretty fun, but part of that fun comes from how it crumples entirely if you ever get overrun so you have to stay on your toes a bit
and it's also not great against mactera
i think it is good and fun to use weapons that have weaknesses, but it's tricky when it comes to trying to suggest things to people who are struggling to beat a particular challenge

[slow magnet]

instead of giving options, it's "this is the best and i will die on this hill"

[chilly shore]

like, sure, let people have fun and homebrew their solutions and use weapons that they like the feel of. But the exception is, when someone is specifically asking "hey this mission is very hard, can anyone help" then that is probably a legitimate reason to recommend something meta or near-meta

In this case it's hard to say what the original asker was thinking though, so idk if it applies

[cerulean harness]

I tried every single loadout in the game though it is pretty top, as @chilly shore says if your only objective is to win your run recommended loadouts will look like that

By that point is the devs job to reshake things a bit from time to time

We’ll see in next season I suppose

[slow magnet]

this is the problem plaguing literally all competitive games

power creep

well, most at least

i think it's fine as it is. I'd rather have new and interesting OCs than more powerful ones

[cerulean harness]

Is inevitable all games have a meta, devs job is to keep that meta fun and varied

You’ll see it in even single player games like silksong

[chilly shore]

i think the game can use some weapon retuning or oc replacing, not necessarily even to make them better but just to make them less sad and boring
like. does anyone fr use pack rat on the pgl

[cerulean harness]

Helldivers devs have been fighting their own meta since release and look how much dmg it has done to them

[cerulean harness]

Buff pgl in general and balance solved

That weapon is so weak rn

Is either meme or mild usefulness

[chilly shore]

idk it could also be a player attitude issue. like some of the best high difficulty runs/challenges come from using some meme loadout

i wonder if there is ever a universe where the rewards could be made to not depend on the difficulty level. it sounds like that would lead to other problems but idk maybe there is something there

at least drg is not a fundamentally competitive game

[slow magnet]

Meta doesn't matter, it's a coop game. If you use a meta build because you genuinely think it's fun. that's great, that's how it should be. but if you're using meta builds because you think there is a one in a hundred chance your run might be saved because your whole teammate was doing terribly, that's a terrible reason. that's like using Iron Will on a haz 2 mission. useless.

[jolly jackal]

Is there somewhere I can find upto date meta builds? Im a returning player and was wondering

[opal tartan]

I wonder
Why can't we just have an in game list of deep dive stages instead of going to the file on discord?

[ancient pewter]

I sort of get the impression what missions the deep dive consists of is supposed to be a surprise

[pale quail]

Anyone having crash issues on DD? Everytime we go from 2nd to 3rd level, someone crashes

[cerulean harness]

sadly there's not a lot of channels that really cover drg weapons in depth (and the ones that do don't upload very frequently) so your best bet is to search for some OC's tierlist and try out the top picks

search "The Ultimate Deep Rock Galactic Overclock Tier List ft. ‪lazyMaybe‬" it has really good analysis on each OC in the game

[jovial python]

keep in mind that this tier list doesn't check on s5 overclocks iirc

[pliant yoke]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CBbpDaomcsSQDJ1EhRp5kJYBw2ObIYlmxqZoZH7jcuk/htmlview#gid=885680832

try this.

[hidden dew]

no mortar rounds smh

[pliant yoke]

I’m not sure if you’re referring to the buildonomicon, but Mortar rounds is listed there in the off-meta section

[hidden dew]

i clicked that and it took me to the same page lol

yea none of the links work for me in that spreadsheet, weird

I wanna see the true solo builds

[manic pivot]

ATTENTION MINERS!

_ _

[slow magnet]

went for smrt os and spinning death for this edd

immediately the worst possible mission for it with the caretaker 💀

fat boy honestly would have been a good pick this time

with doretta

gonna do turret discharge and plastcrete for normal dd, should be fine. Haven't looked at the stage info

[trail hemlock]

If I completed the deep dive, but die during stage two (and don't make it to the drop pod), do I receive the core from stage two?

[drifting tinsel]

yes

[pliant yoke]

<@&296918282403840000>

[mellow cradle]

you sure?

[drifting tinsel]

as long as the dive progressed and the stage is considered complete, yes

[mellow cradle]

"die during stage two and don't make it to the drop pod"

sounds like an incomplete stage 2 to me

[pliant yoke]

Well, in the circumstance the rest of the team, or at least one person, made it to the drop pod, that still counts as a completion

[mellow cradle]

ooohh, that's what they meant

if that's what happened then yeah

cores aren't on a person to person basis

[tough acorn]

Would you advise me to play the gunner class in deep dives ? I’ve heard multiple times it’s the worst class in the game for solo players…

[pliant yoke]

Is there anything in particular you are struggling with as a Gunner, in gameplay? Doesn’t have to be Deep Dives

[tough acorn]

In fact I feel like the other classes, especially the driller and the engineer, are more useful

I struggle to link pipelines to the refinery if they have a secluded location

[eternal scroll]

this week's DD is imo absolute ass

didn't bother with the cosmetic core

lord

[wraith shard]

Barely squeaked out the blank core, I'm gonna pass on trying again

[eternal scroll]

this week's dd first stage is aquarq extraction, i think the verticality makes it very painful for gunners

[plain furnace]

lost Stage3 EDD cuz a bulk blew up near dozer on FIRST stop

lmao

[tough acorn]

💀

[tough acorn]

So I should bring Engineer right ?

[slow magnet]

driller

driller has the most reliable mobility tool imo. scout needs something to stand on, engi runs out of platforms fairly quickly, gunner is gunner.

[hexed pilot]

Bosco:

[tough acorn]

I actually chose the worst class of the game xDD

[eternal scroll]

worst in mobility

but it's not like you have to stick with gunner

[tough acorn]

Yeah I’m going to upgrade the driller and the engineer

[hexed pilot]

Gunner aint even that bad, zipline is very nice utility tool, but yeah, hes slow as fuck

[rigid iron]

It's funny how OP zipline is against Core stone event

Altho that doesn't matter here since those kind of events don't show up in deep dive right?

[ancient pewter]

Indeed

[slow magnet]

Gunner's good overall, just not as good at mobility

Shield's very useful, one of the last to run out of ammo most of the time. good balance of single target and crowd control builds

[tough acorn]

Alright

[tepid hamlet]

Gunner resupplies once for every 2 times engineer resupplies

[ripe quiver]

What mod is deep dive?

The deep dive just opened for the first time, and I don't know what to do.

[burnt sandal]

#deep-dive-discussion message

[ripe quiver]

Ah

Thx very much

you guys may be in for a surprise for EDD stage one

[mellow cradle]

both mollies at spawn?

[drifting tinsel]

imagine something way funnier

[mellow cradle]

nemesis?

[drifting tinsel]

BETTER

[mellow cradle]

elite bulk?

[drifting tinsel]

im also going to need like, 10 mins for those dreadnoughts...

[mellow cradle]

wait that can't happen

unless you mean not the start but rather the entirety of stage 1

[burnt sandal]

well, it wasn't precised which part of the stage it one but I'm betting on elite bulks

https://tenor.com/view/evil-smile-patrick-star-rubbing-hands-gif-18664752

[mellow cradle]

even if bulks are in the pool, not everyone might see an elite one

unfortunate

[tough acorn]

What class is the best for this DD?

[drifting tinsel]

i think any class will do. i would personally go with driller for the double refineries unless you have rocky mountain beer

[ancient pewter]

Remembering the awful well position last time we had a morkite well secondary on salvage

Pondering the viability of making pipe infrastructure

[safe leaf]

Blood sugar elim last stage

With mactera plague

I presume it'll take a while to camp in the arenas slaying fodder mobs to have sugar last for the dread fights

[tough acorn]

Alright

[tough acorn]

The gunner’s rocket launcher can be very useful here

[safe leaf]

That or everyone locks in for speedy dread mulching

[safe leaf]

Gunner can kill mactera with a variety of tools

I'd rather deeply ponder what others should take

[ancient pewter]

Four Gunners

[drifting tinsel]

blood sugar doubles as a pseudo-swarmageddon so you're never really too pressed for sugar. 10 health per swarmer from a semi-persistent swarmageddon ain't so bad

[safe leaf]

Doesn't elim shut off fodder mob spawns for dread fight duration?

[tough acorn]

Are you guys talking about the DD or the EDD?

[safe leaf]

Or are ambient blood sugar donors so to speak exempt?

[safe leaf]

EDD

[drifting tinsel]

ambient swarms, yes! but for "swarms" that come with mutators (duck and cover, exploder infestation, etc), no

[safe leaf]

Hm, that'd be much better then

I heard elim blood sugar is hard so I assumed the two things are connected but it sounds better now, thanks 👍

[tough acorn]

What fundamentally changes between DD and EDD ?

[burnt sandal]

Finally, on a DD the hazard level for each stage, in order is the following: 3, 3.5, 3.5
And for EDD (elite deep dives) it is in order: 4.5, 5, 5.5

[safe leaf]

EDD is much harder due to hazard level differences

DD is at most a puzzle

I've seen people pop all dreads at once on DD stage 3 elims out of boredom and we'd handle that

[tough acorn]

Does rhe difficulty only changes the amount of enemies you encounter in a mission ?

[drifting tinsel]

enemy count, enemy damage, environmental damage, and some others are things that change with difficulty
you can read more about it here

[safe leaf]

Amount, movement speed, damage and to some extent even hitpoints

Amount is most noticeable at first

Movement speed makes the biggest difference in practice as far as I remember

[tough acorn]

Thank you

[tough acorn]

💀

I ain’t gonna do this solo

[safe leaf]

Also, there's higher friendly fire damage and HP cap for regen when seriously hurt and for revives

Except Bosco revives

[tough acorn]

Ok

[safe leaf]

If you're not used to Haz5 and play in public lobbies I recommend go scout and do your gloryless hard toil of mining nitra, lighting ceiling, killing leeches, throwing phero canisters if things go south and not getting killed

[tough acorn]

Do you have any tips to play solo in high diffs ?

[safe leaf]

Nitra, light, leech, phero, got it?

[tough acorn]

Phero ?

[safe leaf]

Optimising loadouts by meta guidelines helps a bit but above all you just need to get used to how fast bugs are yourself

Above all - just be vigilant

It starts stressful and frantic but with time you'll get used to it and learn on your mistakes

[safe leaf]

Pheromone canisters

Scout's grenade
One with greatest effects for the least effort

Doesn't help kill things as fast as IFG or Cryo allow but keeps more bugs harmless for longer

[tough acorn]

Okay I see

[safe leaf]

And unlike the boomerang it scales well with high density swarms, as it afflicts every bug in range and not just a specific number

[tough acorn]

But the engineer does have the lure grenade as well, is it as effective ?

[safe leaf]

Nothing like it

It's probably as effective if not less effective than a pheromone bolt that afflicts a single bug

If you can hold up with Shredder Swarms you can start experimenting with these things perhaps but LUREs either fell out of meta with a nerf to their attractiveness or require 150 IQ to make them worth it

[tough acorn]

Okay

[modest vale]

Damn the 1st mission of this week EDD... Stage 2 and 3 felt smooth after the stage 1 Caretaker+shield disruption

[blazing depot]

not even done with it and this may be the worst deep dive ive ever done

i guess its what i get for not having a promoted driller

aaand im about to lose it all to a nemesis

[chilly shore]

driller vs nemesis is a classic

[blazing depot]

hey at least stage 3 doesnt have pumpjacks that are 60+ meters above the refinery

[blazing depot]

ok it kind of redeemed itself in the last mission

[plain furnace]

*Holds R
-Where did Nemesis go?

[jolly jackal]

if I enter the drop pod with undeposited nitra will it carry over to the next stage or is it lost?

[jovial python]

you'll carry it over yea

[weary walrus]

All minerals are carried over, though it does not count towards quest

[vague walrus]

having done this before, it makes for a real fun time if dreads are first

the rest of the DD feels like a cakewalk

[wraith shard]

Balls that it's Mules then Refinement

[cerulean harness]

dude my morkite well spawned at an unreachable place

we had an engineer but you know

[weary walrus]

Such a good week for Driller mains

[plain furnace]

nice morkite well placement lmao

[tulip lintel]

this dds first stage is about as long as my longest dome cave ever

not as wide trho

actually nvm its shorter

[strong jackal]

I'm not sure if Bloodsugar During Elimination is supposed to be a curse but what I see is a blessing in disguise

[tulip lintel]

it really doesnt make a big difference tbh

[burnt sandal]

it's usually a plus more than anything

[glacial mirage]

this deep dive sucks ☠️

pain and misery

[odd osprey]

Good morkite well generation tho

[slow magnet]

the dreadnought fight with blood sugar was painful

we ran out of bugs to kill

[little halo]

The game should still spawn swarmers during boss fight, and ideally you keep the green spawners too

[valid vine]

so this weeks edd first mission pumpjack placement is quite intersting

[rocky estuary]

leave the brood nexus up

I just unlocked cluster charges OC for the Hurricane and it seems op AF how come I dont see anyone using it?

[chilly lotus]

Its still good, ppl still use it, just rarely
But only vs flat surface
And its nerfed so it cant one shoot praet anymore
Also slow reaction speed. In high haz like haz 5+ or haz 6 above, 0.2 seconds decide your dwarf life

Even if you are distracted by 0.2 seconds, there's always slashers or exploders circling around, preparing to hit your butt
Need weapons that shoots and the bullets already arrived where you aimed

[hidden dew]

its my go to hurricane oc

[cerulean harness]

There’s more reliable options for high hazards in base/modded game

It’s still ok oc you’ll do great with it

[mellow cradle]

"ok oc"

only the strongest CC option on hurricane after minelayer

"ok oc"

It is but it comes with downsides it his gameplay as @/blacktigerace explains

What’s deep dive this week?

[mellow cradle]

check pins

[left kettle]

hi friends, i just got my first star 🙂 ... was gonna try a deep dive but i dotn see any active games

is it straightforward enough to just go with randoms or do i want a premade

[cerulean harness]

you can create a lobby and let randoms join no problem, they are always good teammates

[left kettle]

guess u gotta do it early week, i been in there like 30 mins no joiners

[left kettle]

got to do 2 liquid morkites and 1 morkite seeds solo lmao, that was not fun

[formal pike]

completed my first EDD on player level 47

[ember trellis]

are there any leeches on this weeks edd?

nevermind, i just answered that myself

[tacit jungle]

hah EDD stage 3 is a lil spicy

[ember trellis]

i found stage 2 to be the worst, partly becaused i decided "fuck it lets activate both eggs on top of the reg swarm". bad idea. got tag teamed by 5 stingtails WITH slashers at the ready (boots overheated)... bosco had a fun time reviving me

other than that it was quite easy\

i was gunner with 31122 neurotoxin thunderhead, and 23123 hellfire coil gun, perks: resup, born ready, thorns, IW and dash. clusters for nades
