man i gotta find a way to beat that second stage tonight
fringe kettle
Duo it, enemy spawns are roughly the same as if you were soloing it. Except you have two people. If you can't do it with a full team, duoing it is your best bet at beating it.
static hound
blue levels add context for sure but they also add a level of expectation that isn't well placed and that leads to people judging others based on the blue level/stars they have, which leads to the meme/joke about the promotion levels
lusty yoke
@fringe kettle managed to get through the second stage FINALLY, got killed from the egg wave. Good enough
hollow pawn
Despite what the naysayers say, holdout bunkers is crucial on stage 3 due to the abnormally lethal non wave swarms
Despite no mactera warning there are a lot of them on stage 3. Grabbers too
zealous crown
Honestly stage 3 wasn’t that bad at all, we cleared on our first attempt and on top of that we had a surprise dreadnaught in the middle too
Went in blind too
jade sedge
First solo attempt I died in Stage 3 after uncovering a massive pocket of grunts through a dirt wall and then getting a Swarm right after I burnt all my ammo. Was heartbreaking.
Just before I went down the last time, I saw a bulk appear in the tiny corridor too. Got there in the end though. That stage 2 was something else.

Elite Deep Dive is in Radioactive Exclusion Zone
first stage is elim with mini mules and exploder infestation :^)
uncut raptor
okay the eggs on the fungus bogs 1st stage are close together
junior fossil
first stage on the radio is eggs+dread, little nitra though
2nd stage is 2dread 1 black box, leathal + volatile
that looks a tad bit scary, leathal dreads
junior fossil
2nd stage has a nice amount of ammo, the black box is in an open area, one of the egg is in a tunnel, while the other one is in a big space
last stage eggs + 1 dread, mactera plague
so far both stages has a hoarder, first one in the big room with the dread and eggs, 2nd one with the black box

EDD is Radioactive, above?
Urgh, Eggs and Elemination, Elemination and blackbox, Eggs and elemination.

dd final stage was super easy
all the eggs and aquarq was on the ceiling, so bosco got everything for me
the area was a large cylinder, and the drop pod landed right next to the mine head
i actually got sub 40 minutes on a blind run for once

last stage on the EDD is massive

did I mentioned that both the swarm egg were in the same zone as the dreadnaught caccon for me?

Hmm interesting
Last week i tried to trust chat as people were saying it was hard and...well i was able to do it with people below 100 lvl
It was fine
tbh
fringe kettle
I'm going to take a wild guess that you did not host
Because if host hadn't restarted his game when the DD ticked over to the new week you'll have an issue like that. Your game thinks it's this weeks deep dive, but his game thinks it was last weeks.
wraith shard
EDD is a fair challenge this week
or maybe it was the awful gunner
one of the two
fringe kettle
This weeks EDD is really easy. I half assed it with a bunch of randoms. There were a total of 39 downs. Plenty of ammo. Stage 3 is wide open so dealing with the dread and mactera is a cake walk. Stage 2 black box is wide open so that's easy. dread rooms are cramped. Stage 1 is absolutely tiny, dread may be difficult if you don't lead it back to spawn. Otherwise the EDD this week is probably one of the easiest.
It also reconfirmed for me that the gunner is still critical to the survivability of the team.
zealous crown
that's good to hear it isn't too bad just looking at the stages made it seem pretty rough
blazing current
Is there any viable build for soloing EDD?
I've seen people soloing EDD with ease using scouts but haven't seen the build

@fringe kettle Went down 39 times yet really easy? Something doesn't add up lol 😛
fringe kettle
I went down 3 times due to my own stupidity. 1 of those was yoloing myself down a zipline into a bunch of mactera. I should've said I found it easy despite my teammates going down 36 times.
glass socket
39 downs ? wtf xD
cyan shoal
@storm bison well everyone's experience is different tho, we faced 3 detonators in the final stage while we are in the wide area,it is quite challenging for us
fringe kettle
And to be fair I contributed to a few of those downs. Nothing like a teammate running into your revolver fire or a grenade.
storm bison
I know i can understand that
It's just that i was hyping myself up thinking it was going to be one of those ultra hard ones that appear sometimes
But last week it wasn't
And apparently it's not one of those this week either which is sad i hoped it was going to be one just like last time we had a radioactive biome edd with a Pe + egg mission as a third mission
cyan shoal
I can see that, I agree this week isn't the most challenging, and yeah most of them are just pick up egg and killing DN, hope next week will meet your expectation
storm bison
I think i got too used to the early Edd where like lethal enemies and no shiled mutator were just insane
Before lethal worked on projectiles like macteras
And no shield mutators had no additionnal red sugar spawns
But the problem then was that too many people were disgusted by it and to be fair it was just rolling the dice at that point
On the other hand the fact that they nerfed those meant that i was able to bring my friends who were just starting the game in edds
And they were super happy about it so i can't really complain much
fringe kettle
That was back when everyone had iron will and it carried games.
fringe kettle
there's times when I miss it. It sure made it a lot easier to carry.
fringe kettle
you went down and got iron will. Once you were up from either red sugar or a revive, it reset after 45 seconds.
nope
limber storm
worked with vampire too
so you could self revive every 45 secs basically
as well as having 9 sec of invincibility, useful to tank a dread or some other big bug
its more of a comeback perk
old iron will you were still slower, now you're actually buffed
but its only one use
its really useful when everyone gets wiped, but for basically all the other situation field medic and syih would be better imo
seems funnier to me to have this "enraged" mod, but i think it needs some sort of passive
fringe kettle
if it gets the cooldown back it just becomes old iron will again.
limber storm
either the cooldown is really big and its basically the same as having 1 charge, or its shorter but then it can become a problem again
seems strong
quiet wyvern
no one spoil the dives for me this time, i wish to do blind runs this week
willow salmon
Sounds pretty useless, get attacked by more than 1 bug at once and you effectively don't have a perk

EDD was easier than i anticipated but could tell that trying to solo it as Scout was a suicide mission, so it was my first solo clear as Gunner
colossal amount of swarmers on stage 2
wraith shard
Stubby with EM refire and ROF mod along with return to sender Breach Cutter absolutely rekt the dreadnoughts
quite satisfying
vagrant oak
RtS BC would do that with or without stubby 😛
especially solo, dreadnought HP is pretty laughable
oak stratus
I can't get through black box with a scout, there's no way
fringe kettle
solo?
oak stratus
ye
fringe kettle
yeah solo holding a point ain't exactly easy with scout
try duoing (unless you're trying to speedrun). Enemy count is basically the same as solo.
oak stratus
yeah probably will have to, i think im gonna try gunner before doing duo
fringe kettle
that might make it easier. Stage 3 will be a pain though. Sharp drop from the starting room into a massive chamber.
static hound
yeah but plenty of zip options from that hole if you really want to use the hole
oak stratus
if someone does a solo run with a scout, please upload a vid of you doing it, i'd love to see how someone manages to make it out alive
static hound
im sure people will be posting their scout solo speedruns soon enough in speedrunning
oak stratus
can't wait
I was wondering if cryo grenades would do a better job rather than pheromone ones... cause i always have 2 glyphids on my ass when doing back box. I could throw a couple cryo nades and bosco would blow em up. Would it work?
oak stratus
well time to experiment
naive creek
that level 2 of the edd is insane
oak stratus
cryo grenades work much better than pheromones in this EDD, this time tho, apart from those normal glyphids I had an exploder glyphid while doing black box lol like it wasn't hard enough already

believe it or not but my pet defeated a dreadnought single handedly haha I didn't even see the thing. That was on stage 2

Damn grabbers are piece of shits
Why can it go through shields
Defeats the whole purpose of a shield generator
Last mission, last egg, grabbed me to the ceiling and dropped me 
oak stratus
feels bad man, did you do solo? How did you deal with black box from stage 2?
blazing current
I did
I use the fire nade for the first exploder waves, then just shoot on the rest
Fire grenade is so good for support damage
Also I use shields when I'm starting to get overwhelmed
oak stratus
oh you did it with the gunner
blazing current
Yep

i have ptsd already from 5 failed attempts with scout

This week's epic, how bad is it?
ah, magic says "stage 2 is insane" ... good thing I'm only after stage 1
Stubby with EM refire and ROF mod along with return to sender Breach Cutter absolutely rekt the dreadnoughts
I LOVE return to sender for dreadnaughts, but people keep trying to call it suboptimal.... I just cackle in concentrated firepower.
vast valve
idk who's been calling RtS breach cutter suboptimal, the ability to hit enemies twice per ammo count is ludicrously powerful, that's like doubling each shot's potential damage output
storm bison
Ah there we go
vast valve
1 shot with both passes can almost kill a preat on haz 3 and 4
storm bison
Now you see why people consider it good
celest oasis
rts?
vast valve
return to sender
storm bison
Return to sender
celest oasis
I dunno I prefer minimal clips lol
storm bison
Also something worth noting is that if you manage to trigger the return while inside your target (if it's a big boy) it will deal even more damage
There is something like a tik that will add aditionnal damages when the lines are inside an enemy
vast valve
i was gonna say, i'd think that allowing a complete pass would maximize damage
but huh, i'll have to try that
storm bison
I mean you can make an almost complete pass and just before it leave the butt you trigger it
It's noticeable
vast valve
funky

yup it is something that is interesting, it is mainly due to hitboxs, with the 3lines it is really noticable how far the hitboxs can overlap

is it just me or this week's EDD was FAAAAAAR easier than last one's

if you have a real gunner to knowk out dreads it's not hard
only stage 2 was hard last week

P.E with the increased Mactera, yea it was a nightmare, I never managed to beat that one sadly 😦
Could do with an expert to help me with this weeks Elite, as i've seen that they are a bit easier to handle in a duo or solo

this week's edd was 2 ez
just finished it first run
i didnt down once
the only guy who really got downed a lot admitted he was high lmao
versed stone
ill play with you if you want @quiet wyvern
ill probably end up shitting the bed and make myself look dumb
maybe not actually
i think we just got lucky
also had red rocks
quiet wyvern
i'll be on later tonight, say about 10-11 EST, feel free to add me as a friend, just click on my picture and profile, my steam name should be there too
junior fossil
with red rocks yeah would proly be fairly easy
aslong as you know how to melt dreads without getting downed, and know how to deal with small mactera plagues...
quiet wyvern
i looked on the website for DRG, the enemy damage and resistance is the same in solo and duo gameplay, refering to the elite dives that is
is that accurate?
junior fossil
yup, the number of enemies spawn is also less when you solo/duo
quiet wyvern
makes sense to me
junior fossil
like soloing a dread can be done super fast with breachcutters solo/duo but on 4man you would need the entire ammo for it
quiet wyvern
yea, that's why i kinda wanna do at least duo on these things, like doing duos on Haz 5 to warm up, then tackle the EDD after once we're prepared
if i were to be a gunner in the EDD duo, what weapons should i use, cause with there being a Mactera plague on the final stage
junior fossil
w/e you are most comfterble doing dreadnaughts and defence with
because you need to get to the last stage first
quiet wyvern
I think the minigun and the burt might help, seems how the ammo count and accuracy can help against mactera
versed stone
actually i was kinda riding the high of clearing the edd on the first try that my social anxiety took a backseat @quiet wyvern
sorry
quiet wyvern
oh no worries
junior fossil
my main problem is that I dont think ill be up on the hours you posted, so cant help :/
it would be 5-6am for me
quiet wyvern
it's fine, i only said those times because i have a game night with the EOM on the Xbox one, 8pm EST, and depending on when the event ends i could be on sooner, but then again, maybe another time will have to suffice
short charm
What a rough EDD, had to play with a whole lot of lag on the grapple, but it worked out. M1000 with Minimal Clips, Boomstick with Compact Shells, Cryo grenades. The cryo grenades were a MASSIVE help on the last stage, probably wouldn't have made it without them because the mactera showed up in groups of 15-20 sometimes. https://i.imgur.com/YINSIk5.jpg

vagrant oak
something is insanely wrong when your scout has the second most kills
brave storm
maybe I was just lucky or something but my solo EDD didn't feel too difficult
short charm
See the 20 revives? On the second stage I had to spend a lot of time cleaning up after the other 3 got downed. Tons and tons of swarmers and grunts. Had to work pretty hard to keep the run afloat. Would've been easier solo I bet.
But we got through it and that's all that matters.

oak stratus
has anyone done the black box solo scout yet?
elder rune
Just ran the EDD four man, two failed runs. Switched up to two engis, gunner, and driller, finally pushed through the black box, and fluke died on the last dread mission three. Had a blast though!
junior fossil
well, breach cutter rn is my go to for dreads... and this deep dive has lots of them
wraith shard
@oak stratus Got it first try solo but little close to the wire. Was using the +30% health drink which helped. Having guard Steeve and veteran depositor for 30% damage reduction was instrumental as well.
oak stratus
@wraith shard Damn, I had all those perks and still failed 6 times haha
Did you record your solo run?
wraith shard
Nah, sadly. Setup was 22221 with mini clips on M1000, 13132 and custom casings for NUK, 11223 Bosco. Vet deposit, thorns, vampire, iron will and beast master as perks.
https://i.imgur.com/JfFzaqW.jpg
Got downed at the black box but used iron will, spammed cryo and resupplied.
oak stratus
oh you did it with the m1000. I've only tried with GK2, when it's at 75% the waves become overwhelming and I die. On my last try I had 1 resupply pod next to me and another across the cave where I would use my grappling hook to quickly use to get more cryo grenade and then go back to the circle. But it's too much, having to deal with 40+ bugs at a time, I always end up dying. But I will try your build next, see if i can do better, im not good with the m1000 tho haha
wraith shard
M1k is really clunky but has excellent single target dps. It can 1 shot grunts with a headshot but still not fantastic against swarms, but then scout in general is pretty bad at swarms. Frozen targets take 3x damage so my usual go-to is just throw cryo and spam NUKs.
oak stratus
I see, well thanks for the advice. I will give it a go with the m1k later on and see how it goes
wraith shard
No problem, good luck to you.
short charm
Surprised to see someone using Custom Casings. Is it worth using at all? Minimal Magazines and quickfire ejector gives you a 0.6s reload so I really can't justify the loss in damage for 15 extra shots.
warped jay
I use bullets of mercy with GK2, IFG and NUK Cryo
short charm
I wish Custom Casings had a reload or RoF penalty, instead of lowering the damage of an already rather weak weapon.
warped jay
Just pop the IFG on you and get easy kills with the GK2 with 2-3 shots to grunts
short charm
Of course, I use the GK2 as well. And whenever I take NUKs, the IFG grenade is almost a mandatory pick to get the most out of the NUKs.
simple bough
this week's deep dive doesn't have acquarcs
should be alright?
then again... dreadnoughts and lethal enemies
kinda disgusting.
I usually just want to finish stage 2 for the overclock 😛
oak stratus
I have no problems with dreadnought, can do them in 30 seconds, black box on the other hand it's a different story haha for the scout at least
short charm
I think I would ask Bosco to immediately freeze any praetorians that show up then take them down immediately. Web spitters are also a huge priority since a single shot from those can really mess you up. Boomstick with 'Fear the Boomstick' would've probably worked better here, I find that in most cases it's a better weapon overall than the NUKs. When I carry the Boomstick, I'll take on any hordes I see head on. Not so much with the NUKs, those require some preparation, such as an IFG on the ground before the battle starts. I have severly underestimated how much the fear effects help, but the boomstick triggers the effect on many enemies in a big radius around you with almost every shot. This helps immensely with taking pressure off of you.
Oof, just saw the 10 or so web spitters in the ceiling, what a nightmare.
oak stratus
And it gets worse once I get to 75%
I mean I can deploy IFG beforehand but, I'm still going to get overwhelmed a minute later. I've tried cryo grenades before, I still go down once I reach those 75%
short charm
Im tempted to go at it solo and try this one out myself, its been a while since Ive done a black box solo. Got people coming over very soon tho, so I may have to try this one later tonight
oak stratus
I've gone through 7 attempts now haha I have to try the M1K, but im not sure if that's going to be better
short charm
The M1K can one-shot web spitters in the ceiling, so that should help. Ive been running Born Ready lately, so I tend to empty an M1K mag on any important targets I see, then switch the shotgun and take on anything near me, until I hear the click then its back to the M1K. Born Ready is seriously busted and I wonder if its gonna get nerfed at some point.
dull yacht
Born Ready is great but there's lots of great options! Stop nerfing fun stuff and buff the other perks.
Really it depends how you build. With fast reload it's just wasted
spice geyser
Rock and stone, brothers! I'm a green beard who never done Elite Deep Dive.
I'd like to ask for your tips and tricks if at all possible, please.
oak stratus
the problem is that I don't have all the overclocks as I've been playing this game for less than a month
spice geyser
I've done regular Deep Dive twice and didn't find it too hard
dull yacht
@spice geyser Play haz 5. Get comfy.
If you've done that, just keep up the pace and don't faff around too much in the deeps.
@oak stratus I'm new-ish also, id say try OCs out and use what feels right
oak stratus
I don't really have much choice, been running with Gas Rerouting on GK2, the other one I have is Bullets of Mercy but I think that won't help me solo right?
dull yacht
Every little helps.
If you insist in soloing, make sure you know the objectives and get a good idea of how you're going to get em done. I've seen people say with Scout you don't really need to kill a lot of the time
oak stratus
the only missions I'm struggling with is the black box really, confined spaces is the trouble
short charm
Bullets of mercy is amazing with extra stun on the GK2. It procs into itself.
Here is my go at the uplink. No real issues, I may have had better luck with the spawns? I feel that the M1K and the ability to body shot grunts as soon as they spawn helps a lot, it takes down entire groups in one quick swoop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4g8AhBrnrFE&feature=youtu.be
oak stratus
wow how, you didn't even sweat.
Did you speed up the video or you're just that fast with the trigger? haha
I'm doing M1K right at this moment, not feeling confident tho haha
short charm
Nah thats how I move, got my head on a swivel in this game. 😛 Been playing it a lot.
I think I got luckier with spawns tho, no 10+ web spitters in the ceiling, no praetorians. Tho I was ready to toss a cryo at any praetorian that might spawn.
oak stratus
indeed, was pretty chill for you
I had bugs spawning in front and behind me
as I started the box
that was still impressive tho, good job man
i guess i suck
gotta get that experience and oc's
foggy rivet
i had no problems with my team there dont know what you are doing wrong
oak stratus
scroll up, check my video and tell me
junior fossil
some of the times the black box is really odd
oak stratus
last week's black box was pretty alright, this week tho, it's like I'm having multiple waves coming at once even tho im doing it solo
junior fossil
also from your vid, you are looking only at one side and not moving between the 2 sides
it is lethal enemies so letting them get too close like that can cost you
junior fossil
personally I am of the mindset of hipfire m1k for scout if I solo
deals much faster with grunts, either boom stick or zhuk for swarmers
oak stratus
i'm in the process of going to stage 2 with m1k/broomstick atm, been sitting here waiting to click "continue"
i know im gonna mess up again haha
junior fossil
I need to try it as solo scout, my first blind solo was as driller
and proly an engie solo would be the easiest as breach cutter just eats up dreads
wraith shard
I'll probably do another run tomorrow and record the box as it'd be good practice. Only reason using custom casings is because it's literally my only overclock for the NUK while I've got practically ever overclock for the assault rifle and shotgun. Splendid rng.
oak stratus
i finally made it, my 8th attempt. And that was with M1K which I never play. I feel like when you play M1K there's much less bugs spawning for some weird reason
that's why it's easier
junior fossil
it is because you rid of grunts faster
errant whale
vilotile guts helped
short charm
I did get some rather big waves before the box. Bigger than whatever the box itself spawned. I.e the random waves between the real deal. I dispatched of one of those and then immediately went to work on the box. Would've been troublesome if that came when the box was active.
junior fossil
proly part of it, waiting till a normal wave spawns so it wouldnt come with the box
short charm
Solo uplinks get the adrenaline going. :P
west carbon
is the elite easy this week?
short charm
Shouldn't be terribly hard with a good team. Stage 1 is tiny, TIIIINY. Everything is in just one room, a small drop from the starting room, no need to even dig through any of the dirt tunnels. Stage 2 is pretty straightforward too, just lead the Dreads to the black box room imo. Stage 3 is... Hrm, depends on your loadout. If its made to deal with mactera, its fine. If not, then youre going to have to dodge a lot of those small feckers.
On both stage 2 and 3, you have some realy nice areas where you can set up a "base" of sorts and then just gather there whenever a horde shows up.
west carbon
i have been soloing haz5s and dds but havent tried an elite yet, thanks i ll give it a shot
short charm
Its no more difficult than other Haz5 missions, really. Yeah, the third stage is a LITTLE harder, but overall they're not too bad. As usual, the RNG can screw you over but you should be fine. A lot of Dreads and those are pretty easy to solo.
fringe kettle
if you can handle haz 5 and mactera then it'll be a cake walk
dull yacht
What's the best way to dodge haz 5 mactera? Nothing from h4 seems to work, they'll lead a shot for running in one direction and changing last second doesn't work against a swarm
short charm
Odd, because I find that sidestepping or simply running perpendicular to the front of mactera to work well. And if you're Scout, you can grapple to the side. Projectile speed also increases with the Haz level, but you should never be too close to mactera anyways. I've never seen the enemies lead shots in this, they just fire straight at you.

This week's EDD is easier than before
Because I can almost finish it solo

Guys, I'm really struggling with Deep Dives. I can never find a team to play with and I can't stand doing it solo, let alone enjoy it. Any tips/hints other than uninstalling?
fringe kettle
resolution typically plays a large part in performance. You've already got everything on low, consider playing with the resolution scale slider in graphics options.
I'm guessing regular dive?
you don't need a full 4 person team to do a deep dive. It's probably easiest with duos. The enemy spawns are the same as one person, except you have the firepower of two.
Toss a link in #lfg-steam with your region and kind of lobby and someone will be sure to join.
night berry
I can't find even a second person. The list is always full of people that have already started and the lfg room seems sort of dead, last post being from five hours ago. I'm just trying to find a way to enjoy it solo so I don't have to bother people to help me

there's always people looking at #lfg-steam
it isn't easy finding a deep dive group, most get the dives done on Thuesday when the come out.

@vapid monolith 1222 and then whatever you want for fifth tier.
Just spread the toxin into a big swarm, manouver a bit and continue
saves on ammo too since poisoned grunt will eventually die from poisoning

red sugar perk is the kind of perk that matters 1% of the time and is practically useless outside haz5 and 90% of the time anyways. Especially when your teammates are using the red sugar or the engineer isn't platforming sugar

sweet tooth is great, more sugar for you, more sugar for teammates

in an ideal world yeah
willow salmon
Normal sugar could be buffed a little bit so you don't need to devour every crystal in the cave just to fully heal

also check out health mechanics, your gain from red sugar perk is not a lot compared to resupplier's benefits
its just hamstrung by all sorts of other mechanics

@hard yew nah you can clear it all without any OC's
the deep dive is pretty easy if you're at all comfortable with h3/h4 the EDD takes a little more getting used to imo
just a different mindset to play the game than running around carefree on h3 lol
feral gate
Just for clarification, does H4 feel more like "you've gotta be on the move" than H3s "we've gone through the entire cave and mined everything we could find, just sorta waiting for a swarm wave to pop on"?
limber storm
h5 is "gotta be on the move", h4 is kindof an in between
once you're used to it you can clearly mess around like you would in the lower difficulties
feral gate
Alright, so to do an EDD effectively, you'd wanna practice and get really consistent with H4 then step up to H5?
fringe kettle
if you can do haz 5 lethal with no issues, you can do the EDD with no issues
feral gate
Or is it better to tough it through H5 and learn strictly from that difficulty alone?
limber storm
yeah, once you're confident in your h4 game, try h5, and once you can finish those consistently without going down more than 3 times you good
fringe kettle
your best bet is to get used to all the negative modifiers on haz 5
limber storm
and by good i mean it shouldnt be a problem
fringe kettle
that'll prepare you for the EDD
limber storm
you can try before, but expect to get downed
feral gate
Alright, Haz5 negatives seem to be the basis of where I should git gud then.
limber storm
if you can do one without shield or in lethal then yeah your level is more than enough for an edd
as long as your team doesnt suck
limber storm
oh and its your first dive right?
preferably, you want to call a resup at the beginning of the next stage instead of the end of the one you're in
to not waste anything ya know
but usually your nitra stock is high
so dont worry about it too much

Yeah, super easy to lock down.
Had a random scout join my game and I let him stay. He got 70 kills in total and mined 189. I was driller and got over 300 kills and mined 500. Useless scout.
He was rank 25. So I understand and didn't kick him.
I really don't like kicking people.
I think stage 2, after he got less than 20 kills I said something along the lines of "you know you're allowed to kill bugs right?"
I did, I was driller and didn't blow him up and or kick him.
And you know how driller be sometimes.
The thing is difficulty scales. The more players the harder it gets.
He wanted to do an elite deep dive after that.
There was 3
junior fossil
3players is slightly harder than 2 but can be carried
4 players is much harder to carry

On this Weeks EDD on Magma.
Part 1 is relatively easy, just pace yourself between each egg and keep on your toes
Part 2 as a map is ass, and a driller is highly appreciated
Part 3. Stay inside the drop pod and pick off the initial swarm of macteras. After that you can pop out, careful though there's a large cliff right in front of the drop pod. Other than that look up at the ceiling in the open space. There's about 3 leeches waiting to yoink ya.

just like last week
short charm
Lel, did this EDD with 4 Scouts for shits and giggles, and I took a full shot of whiskey between every stage. Lots of fun, we did it on the first try. Then I was invited to another group to do the EDD again and I had some more, the alcohol may have had an effect on my performance... But, we made it. Lovely.
The 3rd stage is wide open and easy to navigate, but the mactera swarms will wear you down unless you get the objectives done reasonably quick.
near delta
Also whats the general concesus on best weapons for gunner vs macterra? I'm of 2 minds, on the one hand CB thunder can damage a tight swarm all at once but ttk doesn't feel fast enough, on the otherhand the minigun can takeout each one very quickly and sometimes thinning the heard can be the most important variable.
exotic oxide
They both have their uses for the reasons you've given
near delta
last week I felt like i had pretty good success with the minigun since I could outrange the mactera well before they got in range of me. i suppose its a map space decision juct like BC vs. PGL.
exotic oxide
I'd probably have a slight preference for minigun, because AC against a single mactera is a bit sad
Of course you can always take bulldog as your secondary for that purpose
wraith shard
I'd go minigun
they die super fast with minigun hitting their weakpoints
you can swap between them rapidly
AC has bad accuracy in the first place and then also relies on them being bunched up

although this is mostly true of all morkite missions, I found most of the morkite for the second stage EDD to be in the final chamber and tunnel leading upto it, so much so you can ignore a good amount of morkite found on the walls and roofs of the other chambers

lusty flare
SO I did the EDD with 2 man Scout Engie.
Things of note:
- Stage 1 is shield Inhibitor, watch your feet for the hot lava
- Stage 2 you NEED a driller because of some pretty shitty cave gen with a massive wall that curves inwards. Only beat it by leaving engie behind ;-;
- Stage 3 is mactera plague and cave gen is pretty similar to first mission. When getting eggs or fighting swarms hide out near the smaller tunnels to the side to avoid the Mactera Swarms that can easily murder you out in the open.

I mean, we played musical revives for most of stage 3, and still finished it just fine

That's really what it comes down to
kill the bugs before they get close to you
always be moving
gunner shield is still useful even though it doesn't recharge your shield
latent hamlet
take max radius gunner shield for ultra usefulness on shield disruption
junior fossil
anything that can slow the enemies at a far like neurotoxin, electric procs is also very useful
the best way ofc is practice dealing with it on normal missions
frail zodiac
tell your engi to shoot platforms to sugah so scout can mine it. red sugar heals a lot more in shield distruption

take red rock blaster beers before starting the mission, also helps

i did it as engi
i took stubby for primary dps and BC so i was mostly fine to deal with her
junior fossil
if bet-c stays still long enough BC really takes good care of the suckers
granite lantern
i've been having a hard time with bc with betc recently
like not as in a hard time to beat her
but idk i feel like bc doesnt do much damage to her now
i recall i used to wreck her even in 4s

Good people anyone know the time update 1.0 will be released tomorrow .. I am from Latin America

Played last night having last played in alpha and really imo did not have much fun. The first level I played after the training level (which I had not trouble with) was a lava like cavern and while initially was quite cool it all started to go south fast. Firstly the 2 boss like enemies we had to fight would regularly clip into my body and I would not be able to see anything at all. Secondly the caverns with burning lava all looked the same and it was very hard to find the exit and ended up missing to exit by a second. Not a fun experience to say the least for me. Have requested a refund.
Such a shame since I heard such good things about the game. Really like co op games with players having to work together.
storm bison
Fair enough
You gave it a second try
The game does have steep learning curve and even with the random gen it doesn't work for some people
spark wharf
The enemies clipping through each other, players and walls is a biiiiig problem. This game also has only few coop elements.
storm bison
Is it on steam or windows store ?
Cus on steam the enemies don't clip through you
They stik around you and thats it
spark wharf
They do clip
storm bison
Weird it didn't happened to me i saw some of them stak upon one another that's true
But against a player ? Nope
That said i have a stable connection so
gloomy dew
@everyone DEVELOPERS: Thanks for Creating DEEP ROCK GALACTIC !!! A Spectacular and Fun Game !! Rock and Stone Forever !!! already very little! (sorry my english..is from google translate)
limber storm
tagging everyone in a public server isnt a good idea
gloomy dew
@everyone Does anyone know how much the UPDATE will weigh when it comes out within 1 hour?
limber storm
not much, and like i said, dont ping everyone
you're just gonna get yourself banned
gloomy dew
Ah ok..ping a every ok!! sorry.. no vi eso!!

limber storm
its still a dangerous tool to use, the mods will ban you on sight 
im kidding
but yeah not recommended
wraith orchid
Confirmed the clipping I was getting was only on the big boss like monsters not the smaller enemies and I played on steam. Being inside a small cavern with lava all around and a big boss like creature trying to kill you gives you very little tactical options especially since the boss like creature can move and turn very quickly and it just keeps charging at you.
Really liked the look and feel of the base. Very well done on that.
storm bison
I wonder if this hasn't been patched for the 1.0
The boss clip thing
They have prob patched this i think
wraith orchid
I hope so as that might make me at least reconsider my purchase. Any patch notes released yet for 1.0 ?
storm bison
Soon
We are all waiting for da big boom and then yeah there prob going to be a patch note
But given the Huuuge amount of bug they have squashed i don't think we are going to see all of them in one patch note
wraith orchid
Does anyone know if the price will change upon release ?
uncut raptor
they've discussed prices last wednesday in a blogpost
"The price of the new cosmetic DLCs will be 7.99 USD/EUR each. The base game will keep its current price at 29.99 USD/EUR, and so will the Supporter Upgrade at 14.99 USD/EUR. The soundtrack will be priced at 9.99 USD/EUR after we add the second volume."
wraith orchid
Thanks 👍

See the patch notes are up for 1.0 however no mention of clipping fixes that I could see and I read through all the patch notes.
wraith shard
hey man how can i claim the new prestige rewards
hallow estuary
do the assignment
wraith shard
ok thanks
obsidian gorge
how much better will be the rewards for doing a deep dive again instead of individual missions ? Time may be a factor as well.
fringe kettle
Not very, it's more efficient to do regular missions for xp and gold instead of deep dives.
obsidian gorge
I imagine the elite version will give new rewards even if the regular was completed, just not sure if I am ready for that one.
junior fossil
it really depends on if you can cut under 30mins

@obsidian gorge not very efficient, but if there is someone in my team who hasnt done DD or EDD im fine with gold and xp prizes
obsidian gorge
What is the use for blank matrix cores again ?
fringe kettle
to infuse with either an overclock or cosmetic at a machine event
obsidian gorge
machine event is that thing that can happen on any mission without you expecting ?
fringe kettle
Think of a machine event as a third, optional, objective that can sometimes spawn in any regular mission.
gaunt arch
Is there any tips for spawning machine events? like more complicated maps spawning them more often? or certain types of missions? I have a ton of blank cores
fringe kettle
it's a 1/4 chance per mission
thorny geyser
There are no tips, 1/4 chance to spawn. Play fast mining expeditions and egg hunts.
fringe kettle
Although until it's fixed your best bet is to do PE. If you don't see any aquarqs there's a good chance a machine event has spawned.
thorny geyser
Sometimes, you get machine event, lost pack, bittergem and error cube in the same gold rush mission with pots o gold.
wraith shard
is there a pasta or a quick guide for meta loadouts and team comps on deep dives? im just getting into them right now
obsidian ice
the weirdest ressource spawn i had so far was 4 enor pearls in like 20m² square
never seen a real guide on that i guess. you must figure out yourself 🙂
thorny geyser
Steam guides have a few decent if outdated ones.

what dat deep dive do tho
uncut raptor
bulk spawn on first stage of DD during black box
uncut raptor
Deep Dive Stages
first stage one of the eggs is right next to spawn room, so pop that asap and get it over with
black box is on an overhang so watch out if playing solo as scout/gunner
second stage 4 aquarqs can be found nestled together, 3 can be found nestled together somewhere else
uncut raptor
pretty easy DD tbh
neat folio
any word on EDD?
inland holly
stage 2 is shield disruption, dreadnought + mini mule, and loads of mactera
blazing current
stage 2 oh boi
So many breeders
retrying for 1st time
I suggest doing dreadnought asap
junior fossil
also, we had a bulk on the defence part...
nice way to wipe, bulk + defence + shield distrup
junior fossil
dono, doing it with a group for a change 😒
blazing current
Ah great fucking shield goes through walls killed me
bulk spawned before i start to defend so perhaps you can wait him out to spawn before doing it
junior fossil

cheers @junior fossil
uncut raptor
best way to deal with bulks appearing during the defense stage is work out who the bulk is targetting, and let them get chased whilst everyone else stays in the zone

Woohoo! I earned my first promotion!
Any tips on Deep Dive etiquette?
uncut raptor
do not spam resupplies on last stage
ignore gold, unless you're waiting for molly to return to the drop pod
lavish plinth
Oh! Does ordering redundant resupplies have some penalty, or is it just annoying? I've called in a few "extras" on Salvage missions before
