thorny geyser
This week's EDD:
Stage 1: complete cakewalk that lulls you into false sense of security
Stage 2: Giant hell cave of nexuses, mactera and big mini-swarms of grunts, dreadnought fight in pretty bad terrain and probably two bulks during salvage defense
Stage 3: Lethal enemies but its really easy, good terrain, few swarms
Have fun with that one in the middle
Just bring your stomping pants and anti-mactera sets and you should be fine tho.
Be careful when breaching the big cave and check the terrain before you plunge.

Waiting for the person who's gonna be like EDD this week is too easy again

So there were 2 of em at once
Very nearly died there

You know that the logic behind saying that is trying to convince themselves that if they can't beat it, nobody can, right?

EDD has two thicc mushrooms
fringe kettle
Almost forgot about those. The one on stage 2 ate a dread fireball.
modest raptor
The EDD is very possible, just need a functional team and you good
keen inlet
2nd mission is slightly stressful
other than that we were fine
we cycled through assignments to get the red rock drink so i guess that made it easier
inner void
EDD 1-2 is okay
other than the double bulk it dropped on us after the fuel cells, that was bullshit
EDD 3 has a trap at the beginning, a long narrow tunnel that's half sticky ground
can't fight in it at all, it's impossible without bunkering or c4ing the sticky patches
static hound
all right the EDD was fairly straight forward this week, just watch the bulks in mission 2, but thats pretty normal
junior fossil
it sounds like the double bulk is a common thing in this weeks EDD

Anyone else get a dreadnought spawn on stage 3 of the EDD? Or am I just "lucky"

Hey guys, I'm stuck with the Dreadnoughts mission where I should kill two of them. I literally combed the whole map and I can't find the last cocoon to spawn dreadnought. Any thoughts? I don't want to restart the mission ((
atomic birch
I played the EDD with a lvl 200+ and a lvl 350+ and man they both sucked, we failed at the VERY end of 2nd mission, I'm not exactly heavily experienced, lvl 45... But I carried them with 0 downs not including my last down as I was last alive... we had bulk + double Oppressor during uplink... which is a recipe for disaster!

@lunar plinth hold tab and check the map

@viscid narwhal I did, but what should I look for? The whole map is revealed and no other marks except for my robot and mule.

@lunar plinth dreadnought eggs appear as big pink eggs on the map, and they give off a distinct heartbeat like sound when you're near one

@uncut raptor Really? I will check this next time, didn't check it with the first egg. In the end I had to abort the mission and start it again with no issues at all. Thanks for the info!

I think we should pin the information about the deep dives' current levels in this channel.

Reach level 25 on that character, accept the promotion assignment from the promotion terminal, complete the 4 missions necessary for the assignment, then pay the required fee in the memorial hall.

@fresh shell Stage 2 of edd is by far one of the most challenging parts of this week
Regular DD is a cakewalk
So is stage 1 of edd
Stage 3 is the typical final stage of the EDD, difficult but manageable
vagrant oak
when isn't Regular DD a cakewalk?
lusty flare
Yeah
Second stage pretty much requires really good coordination, some bug repellant platforms, and having teamates that don't die
By the end of the dive only me and the gunner had 0 downs with like 20 revives between the two of us, the driller and engie werent bad but that stage 2 is just not friendly

@vagrant oak I remember this one week when DD gave me more trouble than EDD.

yup, we had it too
so its probably high probability spawn, it happens with some dives

anyone wanan do an elite deep dive with me?

by the beard that 2nd stage of the EDD
west nest
Stage 2 this week is a pretty accurate representation of the bugged spawnrates we had in the second week of elite dives
Down to the lethal enemies mod in stage 3
simple bough
yeah once you activate the pod you just get a MASSIVE horde
the wall was pretty much just swarmers
the other side grunts
and the thrid angle a heap of praetorians
i remember we all went down and just told the scout to survive until he can board the pod 😛
gaunt flicker
thank you!
lusty flare
@waxen mist What did you think of the murder cave on stage 2?
The one with 2 breeders, 2 brood nexus, 2 spit ballers, 40+ mactera, and a super high mactera spawn rate.
Oh yeah, during shield disruption
waxen mist
we just kinda handled it one at a time
we focused one of the breeders down and then i just instakilled the other with a cryo
then the engi decimated both spitballers with breach cutter blasts
and the gunner destroyed both nexuses
lusty flare
And during that whole time you didn’t get downed by a mini swarm or mactera cluster?
Well good on ya
pure atlas
I find the 2. stage of EDD undoable had a team of only high levels and we stil could not manage the goddam 2 stage after 5 trys
lusty flare
It took me three tries with randoms
@pure atlas You need a strategy and someone organizing
pure atlas
we tried countering the no shield with having lots of field medic and iron will
lusty flare
I lead a team of people that hadn’t yet attempted it and we beat it by killing groups of enemies in a certain order > mactera > nedocyte breeders > spitballer > brood nexus
Yeah, that perk selection isn’t the greatest
Here’s why
If you get downed, that snowballs
pure atlas
and everytime we managed to get to the pod and build the sattelite a goddam bulk showed up around the corner so we couldnt even react
lusty flare
Without shields, when you get picked up you tend to die pretty quickly
tranquil adder
lusty flare
The trick is using a lot of supply drops
pure atlas
no really not worth ive gave up
lusty flare
Did you coordinate to freeze kill?
Cryo is good because of the excessive amount of mactera and the bulk or two that spawn on stage two
pure atlas
no we were a bunch of randoms so we just trusted each owns experience what to do
lusty flare
That there is the problem
That stage has communication and coordination by requirement
It’s not optional
pure atlas
we tried: first get up the mules as fast as possible after that do the dread on the field to its left once we did that we got rid of the spitballers and nexuses since we were on the pod thats what we somewhat established on strategie
guess i need to look out for a group and communicate via voicechannel
thorny geyser
Key to stage 2 is not to get downed or getting downed little as possible. Because despite there not being many swarms, there are constant mini-swarms and they snowball out of hand if you dilly-dally and sightsee too much.
its better to take things slowly and carefully than rush and risk a down
There is tons upon tons of nitra, so resupplies are not an issue long as scout is in the game.
waxen mist
if it helps, i had a very easy time with a team of 3, gunner, scout and engi
driller is not very useful in this EDD in particular as the caves are very linear and there aren't many crowds
lusty flare
Getting downed snowballs your way to a defeat as revives leave you on deaths door without shields
Using supply drops for HP is a valid tactic on that mission and should be done
There is easily 300 nitra in that cave and stage 3 doesn’t require a ton of resupplies.
junior fossil
stage 3 can be rushed, but be careful there
uncut raptor
2nd stage was scary
but luckily both bulks spawned at the same time before the uplink stage
we wiped 3rd stage
fuck the sticky goo holy fuck
junior fossil
yup goo, and lethal enemies, platforms are your friend
uncut raptor
yeah...
might be the first EDD i'll skip, i already have enough blank cores to catch up
junior fossil
yeah it can be abit of a pain, managed to get it down to 36.5min so far
knotty token
After a couple of attempts the hurdle seems to be that cave in part 2. Just can't stop people jumping off the cliff like lemmings.

i had a driller that mined out most of the are the uplink with the EPC

i couldn't comprehend their absolutely humongous brain

so can you only get one matrix core a week?

Definitely one of the hardest stages from an EDD, but not impossible.
@half gust Blank cores? 3. Total cores? 9
celest oasis
I think Im up to 26 blank cores now, need to find a way to up them up quicker lol
(finished the oc sets a few weeks ago)
vagrant oak
Stage 2 is just taking that big room as slowly as possible
Im not actually sure how spawns work in deep dives. I know the level is the same and I am relatively sure spawns are. But how those spawns appear I do not. Does a bulk appear at 10mins for everyone or is it just "one bulk will appear at some point"?
thorny geyser
we had 2 bulk spawns in stage 2
dreamy niche
spawns are not always consistent, i only got one bulk in stage 2
vagrant oak
Hmm
I wonder if where you step influences what spawns. Like if you didnt go down a tunnel I did, maybe you wouldn't see the same things?
steady field
Loved stage 1 of the DD this week
Actually got very close to a team wipe 😆
We all set up nice and cozy in the natural bunker, so naturally the first thing the box spawns is a bulk on the other side of the dirt
It slaughters the greenbeard that didn't understand what all the screen shake and noise meant, then popped the dread egg when it died
So we're suddenly fighting a dread in a bulk crater with heavy spawns everywhere
'twas glorious, even at low haz
wraith shard
What an awesome game. On solo had all the eggs and had to find a makeshift way out as I had no more zip lines and the Mule was scaling up the cliff. While being pursued, I was able to dig and emerge a few meters by the drop ship which I could see, with seconds to go when I was done in by the Glyphid Praetorian. This game is amazing that you can make your own escape route by carving makeshift steps and climbing out.
grave arch
2nd mission of elite deep dive is awful. no shield missions shouldnt exist =/
feral atlas
They should exist.
But, as a caveat, they should be avoidable.
One major problem with EDD/DD design is that they lock gameplay items behind difficulties that many people either don't like or are not good enough to beat.
neat imp
the first one got me on solo, on the second attempt I waited on the bulk after going near the BB then finished the rest with minimal issues.
sudden tree
The 2nd stage of EDD is so challenging
The game throws everything at once at you at the dreadnought room
vagrant oak
For the most part just take it slowly when entering. Aggro as much as you can from as far as you can
static hound
a lot of the difficulty will depend on your teammates too, if they are exceptional EDD goes smoothly and feels easy, if they can't kill bugs or are slow on the uptake for everything, its gonna feel super rough
warped dome
Just a heads up that if a teammate drinks leaf lovers, they're a weak link
junior fossil
also a thing, remember you get plenty of nitra, call in several resupply for the uplink and fuel
extra ammo can save you but the extra health can really make a save
static hound
haha but no ammo = you lose for sure, but going down = free hp when picked up!
junior fossil
well going down during the last part of the 2nd stage of the EDD... that can cause a wipe...
elder scaffold
I have played some DD but this was the first try on EDD, my team of randoms actually made the 2nd stage with ease imo! We also got the driller dc during the uplink and was only 3. We got wiped on stage 3 by goo and horde of grunts!
blazing current
4 man EDD results in 2 bulks and oppressor spawned...

Deep Dive and Elite Deep Dive
gaunt turret
Can someone give me a quick guide how to estimate hazard level difficulty? It seems hazard 4 lobbies often only want promoted players and hazard 5 is pretty rare overal
dull yacht
For deep dives? DD = normal haz3-4. EDD = haz 5+
gaunt turret
I just meant in general. I have a hard time deciding at which hazard level I want to play based on skill, equipment, solo, random group or group of friends.
dull yacht
Sorry, you're in the DD discussion room so I was confused.
In general, I think haz 3 is good for beginners who can FPS well or learn quickly. Haz 4 is better for when the players have upgrades, or play with higher level players. Haz 5 is best for promoted players or dwarves with fully upgraded gear looking for a challenge.
flat dirge
Imagine failing at Elite Deep Dive stage 3's end not because the bugs got you, but because the game freezed and crashed.
also, all 3 missions seemed like hell but different kind of hell

cryo driller makes this much easier
steel jay
3 breeders and 2 spitballers gives me a level of pain only seen in an elite deep dive
kinda like it
thorny geyser
i recommend having a cryo cannon for driller in this EDD
makes certain things way easier
dreamy niche
with all the trash i found flame thrower to be a much better choice, breeders aren't really an issue beyond being bullet sponges
steady field
@willow salmon I was indeed
I would have to say go for flamer on the EDD, even a freeze build cryo takes too long to get that many macts
But crisper ignites them all in a second then you can focus on evasion
Snowball cryo might be worthwhile though
indigo jungle
Why is shield disruption in EDD still a thing 
dreamy niche
it's not too bad if you can kite well/clear the swarmers, recommend having a good driller for swarmers
steady field
To make things more interesting, ofc!
Just be glad they nerfed macts
Lethal enemies mact spawns were completely insane once upon a time

anyone playing gunner in EDD? what loadout did you use for it?
dreamy niche
If your engi and driller can’t deal with the trash go for an AC build specced for aoe otherwise use leadstorm for those bulks/breeders/spitballers with explosive bulldog for the pesky swarmers
Tho if they can’t kill trash efficiently you’re better off finding a new team

for this week's EDD I was running AC
But yeah if your driller engineer can take care of the small boys, you can bring minigun
wraith egret
any advice for soloing the EDD with gunner (loadouts...)?
hallow estuary
Autocannon with splintering shells or carpet bomber, elephant rounds or six shooter bulldog, brrt probably works too but i dunno builds 🤷♂️
warped jay
AC with Splintering, Carpet Bomber and a hidden gem is Neurotoxin. I pair it with Lead Spray BRT or Electric mines when Im also running Neurotoxins. Six shooter bulldog is also pretty standard if you want to kill mactera spawns and webspitters in one shot. Running incendiary nades since they are the most consistent for me.
wraith shard
Is it common for EDD to be undoable with random or is it just this one?
thorny geyser
i think incendiary grenades is overdoing it especially if you have autocannon for chaff clearance
I had big bertha ac, six shooter bulldog and cluster grenades
static hound
incendiary is pretty good, its not just something you use on swarmers etc
see a big enough group you can fry them with a single grenade or soften them up to the point where anything that looks at em will kill it
thorny geyser
yeah its not bad like ever
indigo jungle
always run cluster to kill your fellow dwarves
thorny geyser
keep them on their toes

The EDD is very doable with randoms, this one included

Every time I try to tell people, beware of the mule room once at the second mission

dreamy niche
pretty easy if you're comfortable killing dreads and doing black boxes

black boxes being ? and not sure how I would do with dreads on solo

black boxes are the uplinks you find on salvage missions but without the drop pod
if you're not comfortable solo i recommend joining a team, regular deep dives are generally easy enough that you wont fail with any pub

that "stay in the green zone" thing ?
solo is fine since I can use freeze anywhere without friendly fire, and I play coop with friends, just need to match time

bring a class with weapons that pierce dread frontal armor

this is fucking schit without shield tried it 12 times

which stage is the dread ?

if you need to try 12 times
don't
you're wasting your time
grind haz5 with the harder modifiers until you're comfortable then come back

you need good habits and thinking skills

at least I can see how well I can do against dreadnoughts right in the first stage
mactera plague looks like the real problem though
I will just hope for places to hide and wait bosco to take them down

WTF, im so mad rn. The second dive on deep dive Elite this week is fucking impossible
meager tinsel
It's certainly very tough, closest we got was the very last stage but it spawned a detonator on top of the fuel cell at 90%
Gonna keep takin' cracks at it
versed willow
What's hard about second stage? I haven't played it yet.
crude sorrel
when u are uplinking
u are so close to the edge that u cant fight off tyhe enemies before they are right in ur face
u gte overloaded, impossible for m
meager tinsel
Shield disrupt, pretty huge open room w a lotta blimps and spitballers, nonstop waves, lotta mactera, leeches, etc etc
crude sorrel
Yep
versed willow
Nice, sounds fun.
meager tinsel
It'ssssssss a lot
Syncing up is huge and moving fast I think helped, we hit dreadnaught asap, stuck together, nothing we cud do abt the detonator but it was still a helluva hulla
versed willow
You could have an engineer build platforms to expand the land for the objective or have a driller dig it down to the main ground level and then dig out a circle around it (not a bunker).
meager tinsel
Ill try that ! always do the platform extension, super helpful
fringe kettle
engineer platforms with repellent, gunner with shield, driller with sticky flames, scout with literally any of their grenades. Stage 2 is when my teammates had their most downs, but it is by no means impossible. If you and your teammates know your class then it's very doable, easy even.
vagrant oak
"Its easy if your players are good" is kind of an obvious statement 😛
fringe kettle
It's an elite deep dive, not everyone is supposed to be able to do it
vagrant oak
I get frustrated by repellent in non-solo games, personally. It is substantially more wonky when more than one person is involved.
versed willow
Like multiple engineers using it?
vagrant oak
Having a single person makes knowing where aggro will go vastly more reliable.

Nawwww they're supposed to be the toughest thing ni the game, they do take a lotta practice and decent builds n coordination
Not stupid at all, Im still gettin used to them
This one is odd RNG tho, are detonators predesignated ?
I've died to the EDD this week 4 times and 3 of them a det spawned exACTLY at 90% on the fuel cells
If it is then I can at least prep

still hard as shit
static hound
generally everyone gets the same enemy spawns, though for bulks the timing is a little different for everyone since everyone proceeds through the mission in different ways
a number of people have gotten bulks right at the end, others get theirs during the uplink, so there's some variation
junior fossil
from my experience enemies spawn is host depended, mainly for things like spitballers,broods and breeders

How do I unlock Deep Dives?

Reach level 25 with any class and then do the promotion assignment.

@royal tulip Bro I was the driller, that was some of the most intense shit I've ever done in the game. I remember when that detonator came into the tunnel and we had to drill to the pod or die that was hilarious and terrifying at the same time
waxen lily
So did you make it?
heady portal
Can you do the promotion assignment missions with a different class?
Like, lets say I wanna promote my engineer, but since he doesnt get any exp anymore, I wanna level up my scout and do the promotion assignment at the same time
does that work?
last veldt
yes
assignments can be done by whichever class
you dont have to do it as the one you're promoting it for

This weeks EDD was pretty easy overall. Did it wtih Scout Scout Engi Gunner, me and the other Scout both went for cryo grenades. The uplink on the second mission could have been tough, we did get a Bulk earlier in the level but none for any of the uplinks so... RNG was on our side.
M1000 + Electrocuting focus rounds, 1-1-1-1-2. Boomstick with Compact Shells, 1-2-3-1-2. Cryo grenades.
digital elk
I've lost the edd it like 12 times
now I've made it 2 times in a row
short charm
Which part got you? 😛 I took a sneak peak at the display in the pod before heading down with the team, the mactera plague warning is what made me go for cryo. And to be in the safe side in case we get bulks, I went for electrocuting fpcus rounds to stun stuff.
This did have the hellish trinity of dumb warnings; mactera plague, shield disruption AND lethal enemies. Sometimes I feel like these aren't random at all and actually handpicked.
junior fossil
well, if they replaced shield disrupt with a ghost it would have been funnier
short charm
Only one red warning at a time Im afraid. But a couple of weeks ago, we did have the ghost on a point extraction mission and a dreadnought on that too. Probably one of the hardest Ive done so far.
junior fossil
ghost and bulk while defending the pod, can you imagine the mayhem?
short charm
I dont think Ive done ghost + black box yet, now THAT could be an interesting combo.

Can someone help me with this weeks Elite Deep Dive?

Hard to say, gotta be reasonably close to whoever you're going to play with or there's going to be unbearable latency to contend with.

@supple gale What those two said, plus, you can do the normal deep dive for 1 blank core, 1 weapon overclock, and one cosmetic, plus elite for another blank core, overclock, and cosmetic, so it's just a new set of rewards.

assuming you can complete both the DD and EDD and the core hunt assignment you should get 3 blank cores, weapon overclocks, and 3 cosmetic cores every week

Honestly it took us around ~2h to finish the edd last night, stage 2 without shields is cancer. We all kept going down after the first 5 minutes, constantly low hp and no ammo. We finally did the mules and the dreadnaught and then we had to uplink. No nitra anywhere to be seen we had to kill the poor loot bugs for ammo 😢 . It was a movie like experience. After that we drank the whole abyss bar 😄
50% of the time there was only 1 or 2 people up. And we finally hit stage 3 and we get a grunt swarm. I had 0 ammo in both guns as scout and only one alive. Kept manically pickaxing them and field medic came in clutch with the insta res
but the 3 dwarfs I played with were legends, we were laughing and joking all the way. Some of the best experiences while gaming ever
covert current
The 2nd stage was extremely tough, yeah. But it felt super awesome to find a good group who listened to each other and played as a team to keep the crew rolling.
deft spoke
I've attempted it around 10 times with randoms now and the first team I had was the closest to winning stage 2. We got to the fuel cell stage but got overrun. All my subsequent attempts die to the dreadnought or people just rush ahead and die in the big room
I'm probably just not good enough to do it honestly
summer arch
I think all you need is a positive team that sticks together and fights for each other
none of us were above level 60 and we managed to do it
2 of us lvl ~25
best fun i ever had in drg
when we finally got our shields back on stage 3 it felt like sex 😄
deft spoke
I just don't think I've had the luck to get a team like that yet
First team looked good but then our driller dc'd
and then the remaining 3 of us made it almost to the end but failed
summer arch
we had an mvp driller, on stage 2 he had like 5hp and only one alive, jumping through the floor filled with aliens to get to the droppod
biggest PogChamp moment ever
we mined all the nitra on the map
somehow with lootbugs managed to get just enough for one last ressuply for the uplink
it was tough af
not to mention 4 detonators in stage 2 alone
deft spoke
My last attempt ended because we had 2 scouts who were a little bit too liberal with their ammo use. They called 3 resupplies on the first stage and then right at the end one of them accidentally called a 4th even though we were all full
went into stage 2 with 5 nitra
needless to say we ran outta ammo
summer arch
2 scouts on edd? but why...
I was our scout and honestly without me flying around finding the lootbugs for nitra I don't think we would make it
but we all played our part and driller was the real mvp
summer arch
welp that sucks
deft spoke
I'm usually one of the last alive and I don't even consider myself good
If I was better I could probably clutch save but alas
summer arch
we all managed our ammo rly good and still by the end of stage 2 we were all out
so if you wasted a ressuply I highly doubt it
stage 3 is a bit easier if anything
covert current
My first 2 runs were with randoms. Then I decided to join the discord to get an actual group and an actual voice chat involved. Took 3 more tries to get it right. (We had 2 gunners, me as a scout, and an engi. I don't think this deep dive particularly needed a driller, but the gunners coordinated shields definitely kept us alive at the end of stage 2 and on the last wave on stage 3.)

that is on the regular deep dive, right ? if I understand it correctly just make sure you won't get stuck , I guess , so large open areas when possible

it was a level 4 mission not deep dive, the problem with this mission was it map had shit tons of giant crystals and the cavern where no bigger the three dwarf stack on top of each other

On shieldless?

Bunker the second stage
feral atlas
yes

And fight the dreadnaught at spawn
Drilled drills to it
Try to use one refill on stage 1
feral atlas
if the team needs to bunker, it's most probably that it isn't good enough to win in the first place
tranquil thunder
kk
feral atlas
likely that 1 bulk or a bad oppressor spawn will cause a wipe
feral atlas
by all means try it
near zinc
Lo
tranquil thunder
so can you only get a limited amount of matrixes a week?
tranquil thunder
alright thank you
feral atlas
if you craft all, forge mastery makes you end up with 11.25 each week
tranquil thunder
how that, do those deep dives give you more when you got mastery?
dry sand
It's all completely random right? I've only played driller and all of my matrixes have been for gunner or other classes
feral atlas
so, every core you get is actually 120% of a core
since 5 cores = 6 cores in practice
tranquil thunder
k
feral atlas
So the number of cores you get each week ends up being 9 ( 1 + .2 + .2^2 +...+.2^n), which sums to 11.25
so 9 cores directly, 2 from forge mastery if you forge all 9, then partial progress towards a 3rd forge mastery core
all cores are random
the weapon OC core gets replaced by a blank core once you get all OC
the cosmetic core gets replaced by a mineral core once you get all cosmetic cores
tranquil thunder
awesome, thx for the info dude, was kinda confused at first
feral atlas
the rewards are random, but the pool is limited
there are either 98 or 100 weapon OC, roughly 24-25 per class
and 5-7 per weapon
there is a small but finite chance that the one you want will be the last one you get
rich forge
Use blank for Overclocks
Once you get all of them the overclock cores you get from Deep Dive and weekly turn into blanks
feral atlas
assuming you spent all your blanks on weapon OC, you will get roughly 7.125 weapon OC a week
it will take 14 weeks to get them all
though you can easily max out one class first if you focus it when you get blanks

Does anyone know as a certainty if you get an equal number of resources from mining a vein versus cutting it off from the rock face and having it collapse?
fringe kettle
Yes, you can’t destroy resources. But depending on the method you could send some chunks flying off at high speed. So mining around the vein then having it pop won’t be an issue.
So C4, epc tcf mining, or even a bulk explosion will yield the same amount of resources.

Do note that some beers like pots of gold and dark morkite only gives extra resource with pickaxe mining

3rd EDD mission is one big cave
junior fossil
it is more of a tunnel, cause morkite
mental valley
The EDD is on glacial with shield disruption low oxygen, mactera and lethal enemies. 4 eggs and morkite, 2 dreads and 2 mules and morkite and 2 eggs i believe are the order.
junior fossil
first one was O2 not shield
mental valley
oh ya, you're right
junior fossil
you can scroll up I posted a pic
mental valley
Mactera was a breeze. Step 1, get in corridor, step 2, use BC to destroy whole wave in one shot. step 3, drink beer.
junior fossil
tbh I was feeling like it was cave leech cluster more than mactera
I was leeched like 4 times
mental valley
Ya, there were a few crafty positioned leeches.
There was all kind of nitra as well on stages 2 and 3 easy to grab.
junior fossil
at the end of stage 2 I was like... well do I even need to mine nitra now?
started stage 3 with 390 nitra
mental valley
I was in the same boat. I did it out of habit, but i could have skipped a few.
junior fossil
and that was just me lazely collecting that
mental valley
265 here, i had to afk for 2m with 1 vein of morkite left to mine and died. Soloed as engineer.
on the 3rd stage. Sigh, at least it was only the cosmetic i missed out on.

on the 3rd stage it is easy to get overwhelmed by the waves, because there is enough nitra enough ammo is good to remember to have
prime basalt
is this EDD easier than last weeks?
fringe kettle
if you're actually playing solo and not private, just pause the game.

I didn't think about even seeing if i could pause it until I was away.

oof
fringe kettle
yeah if you're playing solo you can pause the game to take a break. It's a nice feature they have
mental valley
ahh well, it w as easy enough to get that far, i can finish it sometime before it ends.
I thought the 3rd stage was longer, but not harder. since it's a morkite generation, it's one huge tunnel more or less, easy to find spots to funnel and easily destroy.
junior fossil
both this weeks and last weeks were morkite with 2 eggs and lethal
but here you can get frozen taking * 3 melee damage from the lethal boys
it is fun to get gibbed because you got frozen
mental valley
I only got frozen once, but i stand in those warm pits as often as possible. BC and mines means nothing gets closes.

the first stage is not nice because the nitra is spread out, 2nd stage has so much of it
3rd stage is... beware for freezing...
civic spruce
Less about nitra and more of the enemy count
I dunno, just seemed like there were a lot of enemies and plus the two dreads that drain your ammo
plus all the swarms that get summoned from the eggs
junior fossil
well, the first mission only has 1 swarm, the rest are waves, the 2nd mission does not have swarms at all
it only spawns waves of enemies because it is dreads + mules
the 3rd mission does have the 5-7min swarm + the swarm from the egg + lethal enemies and chance to freeze
civic spruce
seriously, that's what really boned us was the third stage
constantly frozen from the damn tunnels
junior fossil
yup, freeze and it is death... times 3 damage, from lethal enemies, on haz 5.5

@dense vine keep in mind if you're mining around a large vein and it pops, chunks can fly away from you and not auto pickup as you'd expect
@mental valley yeah turrets could be better with priority and only shoot at weakpoints if possible, and swarmers/jellies first or pinged targets to switch targets or something

So I just Promoted a character and havent done a deep dive yet. Is there a limit to how many you can do per week or does the map just reset every week?

it is always the same map in the week, and you can do it again, but you only get the matrix core stuff once for that map / week iirc

Whats Up Peoples! #DeepDiveFriday is here!!!
Good luck with all your mining! Lets get it. #DeepDiveFriday!
jolly sundial
Around what player level should I be for elite deep dives, I try to join public lobbies but maybe because I am only level 25 it's hard for me to get into games
next pebble
As long as you're able to play them, your level doesn't matter too much. It is true that a lot of higher ranked players don't want to risk taking along a low level player with them on an elite deep dive since it can be frustrating having to carry someone who may end up being dead weight and causing you to fail, so lower level players have that working against them, but there's no requirement and it doesn't mean you shouldn't bother trying.
The best thing you can do is make some friends and get together for them, or even assemble a team through this channel or #lfg-steam when you want to try them out
