what happened there ?
#deep-dive-discussion
obsidian gorge
uncut raptor
went down before throwing my shield with engi
driller and scout came running to us, rezzed the engi and left me for dead
we all went down soon afterwards
😔
obsidian gorge
"you have to go without me" why did they left you dead
junior fossil
yup I did mentioned the 3rd stage this week can get deadly
esp when you start freezing
uncut raptor
i think they couldn't see me under the massive swarm of slashers and guards
but so was the engi since we were right next to each other
i think if they had got me up we would've survived for longer since i had 3 shields left
junior fossil
well, when down I usually press x afew times
uncut raptor
we were mid-swarm tbf, there wasn't much they could do
junior fossil
it is both funny, but it helps the teammate see you
obsidian gorge
interesting
uncut raptor
ah well
just checked a screenshot of the failure screen and i somehow got through that with only 3 downs, with those happening on the 3rd stage
obsidian gorge
good thing it should be mostly the same so you can think how you can do better next time
uncut raptor
having an engi that doesn't spam v every 3 seconds would be nice lol
obsidian gorge
ayy
solid yoke
the game is becoming more and more items and options for customization, is there a plan to make customization of the cabins and the station itself as a whole?
obsidian gorge
you mean as deep dive rewards ? no current plans from what I heard
solid yoke
all the same for what, just the opportunity itself
humble cargo
if we are in a premade lobby of 2 and set Deep Dive to public, will players join?
blazing current
Yes if they want to join
But only on space rig, can't join deep dives when it's in progress
formal sluice
so on the join board, are the grayed out ones in-progress? why even display them?
blazing current
It's how they want to design the whole lobby system I think
ocean flame
So I've completed my first DD and was planning on an EDD, what is the difference? Any tips?
inland cloak
want to join us?
obsidian gorge
while DD haz is 3 - 3.5 - 3.5 , EDD is 4.5 - 5 - 5.5 iirc
inland cloak
we're in pod 28 if you'd like to join for EDD
ocean flame
I've never done Haz 5, only 4's and i find that challenging enough 😛
Want me as a newb? I only got engineer promoted
ocean flame
Aww
obsidian gorge
double turrets double turrets
ocean flame
So what is the best for the 40mm grenade launcher on engineering? I got this overclock so they're mini nukes, but only got a few rounds with it
Better run without it for more ammo?
dreamy niche
@ocean flame given that it's a very situational oc - only useful against large groups far away - i recommend running without it
you can certainly do well with it, but the majority of people tend to misuse it causing dmg to the team or just wiping several dwarves at once
clean sweap or pack rat are your best bets
ocean flame
Alright cheers

jesus christ we really need pins in this channel
anyways
can someone send EDD info?
hm this edd doesnt look so bad

did the EDD have low O2?

At stage 1 EDD

@fringe kettle i did that yes
still bad
specially cause most people crop out if its edd or dd
also sometimes theres hella in game images
blazing current
How about we put "EDD" or "DD" on our image upload next time?
Pinning image can be a chore for mods to add and remove. Pins also have limits iirc if you don't remove them
obsidian gorge
not like having old deep dives pinned would help much, since you can't replay them iirc
granite lantern
Pinning image can be a chore for mods to add and remove. Pins also have limits iirc if you don't remove them
@blazing current
just do it once a week
unpin previous ones pin new ones
Maybe add a link if some non official dude wants to do archives by himself?
anyways its a 30 second effort once every week
buoyant badger
I'm not particularly experienced with EDD but I'm having quite a bit of trouble trying to solo as scout. Is there a loadout someone might recommend?
past shuttle
Why is bunkering controversial?
from a newcomer's perspective, it seems like a great idea
as it is both very beneficial for your team as it serves as protection and boosts chances for success
obsidian gorge
not sure for EDD, but I did this week's DD without it
dreamy niche
the controversial part is that many believe that you're supposed to play drg thru kiting
past shuttle
ahhh
dreamy niche
since they introduced oppressors, it's also not as practical as it once was
past shuttle
i see
static ridge
is the edd worth perusing this week?
past shuttle
like i play digger bc of that creative aspect where you can do things like bunkers and help the team succeed in that way
dreamy niche
yeah it's easier than last week
static ridge
dope
frail zodiac
oppressors are not an issue with cryo cannon
shitting on bunkers is how you virtue signal in DRG
grave summit
just unlocked deep dives on driller
dreamy niche
just how the community is
i'm not against the use, just make sure your team is ok with it
grave summit
what features does the ideal bunker have anyway
past shuttle
uhh, objective in the bunker, a long tunnel where the bugs funnel through, and an escape route in case of emergencies ig
grave summit
i guess you get engi to plug the hole you drill the objective in with
bright dagger
yep
basically a hole straight down so that the objective falls into it, then a cylinder at least wide enough to encompass the whole area you need to stand in, then a fairly long tunnel leading out for bugs to funnel in
escape route being a secondary, shorter tunnel that you don't quite finish so that it remains sealed but can be dug through in a hurry
to make your bunker extra fancy bevel the edges of the bug funnel tunnel where it connects to the room the objective is in to make it easier for everyone to shoot down the tunnel
celest oasis
What if a bulks spawns on top of your bunker?
dreamy niche
plugging holes dont stop bulks
and the escape tunnel only works if you're able to lead it away and come back in time before the timer runs out
at that point your bunker is most likely partially destroyed with bugs swarming all over
odd comet
That's why we have a decoy scout
dreamy niche
meaning you have no time to set up a defense line
past shuttle
scouts do the scouting
odd comet
Sure, the bugs'll probably eat 'im
But you can get yer objective finished in the meantime
past shuttle
ayye scouts do the dirty work while we here in the bunker chillin eating rocks or some shit
dreamy niche
better hope the bulk spawns far enough that scout can pull aggro
frail zodiac
if you are sealing the bunker, better pray for no oppressor/bulk
because if they spawn, youre kaput

Do some people exist to troll on stage 3 of the EDD?

somber crypt
just getting back into the game is there a meta perk guide floating around anywhere?
deft kite
@somber crypt what do you need ?
somber crypt
maybe just a priority list on the most useful perks
deft kite
ressuplier and sweeth tooth for sure
heightened sense too
instakill on 2 grab + passive additional warning is too good to pass up
ressuplier pretty much fully heals you
sweeth tooth means more hp for you and your team + the speed boost is nice
dash is great to get out of sticky situation and has a good cooldown
born ready is a must on AC gunner imo
somber crypt
i generally play scout if that changes anything
deft kite
it does
deep pocket: is a must because scout main job is to mine minerals
hover boots: is great if you don't have an engi,when you miss that hook or when you want to setup a hole in the wall so you can mine
sweet tooth: more hp for you and your team
ressuplier: fast ressuply can save your ass and gives you a lot more hp
heightened senses: read above
somber crypt
thanks a lot this will help quite a bit
deft kite

i don't know how long it's been since you played but phero is not what it used to be

somber crypt
should get like a general build set up for each class stickied
deft kite
well many people disagree on what's general build
fringe kettle
many things are playstyle dependent
deft kite
everyone has it's own and depending the haz you play you'll probably find some things work better at different levels
somber crypt
same with everygame but assuming a fresh player what to prioritize helps a lot when trying to start especially when google is all outdated info
deft kite
did you need weapon build too or you good ?
somber crypt
i wouldnt mind
deft kite
gimme a sec
there you go @somber crypt
gk2: 21123 with homebrew or bullets of mercy overclock
zhuks:23112 with minimal magazines overclock
boomstick:22312 i run it with either jumbo shells, stuffed shells or compact shells but i prefer compact because of the fast reload (i know some people prefer the fire one on last mod)
pickaxe: 12 save the power attack for when you get surrounded by minis or a few grunts
flare gun: 223
hook: 1123 (i think you should really pick what you prefer for hook)
cryo grenade or ifg (use ifg if you are running a full dmg build on gk2)
use cryo grenade on big packs and with zhuks to melt the wave away
or pack of macteras/praetorians

regular deep dive is hazard 3 and 3.5 , while Elite Deep Dive goes from 4.5 to 5.5

You should also start trying haz 4. You're bronze, so you should have all the upgrades, so further levels/promotions don't really change your power level in anyway.

Any new enemies in Deep Dive?

nope
worthy phoenix
i just got access to deep dive ... what is the reason to do it at all ?
credits and XP or what ?
pine pawn
Matrix cores
Overclocks and cosmetics basically
As for resources doing deep dives isn't that good since there aren't materials like umanite, bismor etc
hallow estuary
Usually want to ignore everything but nitra and objectives
takes too long otherwise
pine pawn
15 to 20 minutes on average per mission, that's not really long.
hallow estuary
15 to 20 minutes and you're not slowed down by minerals and events and shit
usually take me that long to do a normal mission
pine pawn
Well, on that side it's true
coarse drum
sorry for the repetitive question : does the MULE not use the path created by the resupply pod when it heads back to the drop pod?
pine pawn
It used to in earlier versions, but can't say how it is for now. I haven't been following MULE for quite a while
wraith shard
The mule ignores the resupply pod tunnels. I had one pod that connected 2 tunnels and a cave in a mining expedition. Molly ignored that shortcut, even though it would have saved her at least 70m.
jaunty radish
Molly never used pod tunnels in my games, but many times mule casually walk on celling to some microscopic hole.

Random question with probably an obvious answer
If I do DD again, do I get rewards again-

not the matrix core stuff
you get the other stuff though, and if you haven't already, you can do the EDD

What's the difference between a DD and an EDD?
obsidian gorge
the difficulty , and the missions you will get

feral atlas
just play Haz5 for EDD training
celest oasis
Haz5 on average will feel harder than an edd
Mainly cause you wont have an abundance of nitra usually ish
If you can no sweat a haz5, you're good to go for edd 
junior fossil
esp things like point extract
uneven atlas
haz5 varies wildly depending on the mission and map
point extraction can be easy if you have 2 fast drillers and a scout, can get the mission done with only 1 wave of glyphids
opal sandal
Does deep dives difficulty scale with x amount of ppl? Example if i play solo i get less enemies than if i ran a party of 4. Sorry im new to the game :>
junior fossil
yes
it is solo/duo, trio, full squad all have number of spawns, and big enemies health
opal sandal
Thanks!
junior fossil
this is not only on deep dives though, the game as a whole does that
celest oasis
is there dynamic scaling? say if you start a deep dive as 4 , but 1 person leaves the game
does the game auto scale to 3?
or is the deep dive scuffed at 4 player difficulty

ATTENTION MINERS!

Yes, the difficulty scales dynamically whenever a player joins or leaves.
molten forge
Ahoi, I love this game and play it since the first days of early Access and i sad to say , but i play it almost as a single player game, because the most team mates are not communicated with me and starts the end sequenze , before we mine all mineralz. This is why i love more Bosco than other players. And my opinion is, that if someone activate it, the Host must be agree , before it starts. I write it here for the hope it get noticed ( sorry for my bad english ) 😄 have a nice day
twin idol
Solo’d the EDD. That second stage is horrid. Mactera Plague procing whilst fighting a dreadnought downed me 3 times within 20 seconds
muted wolf
Any meta build reference for high difficulty maps I could look at? (Equipment load out, perks, etc)
sour elm
Any suggestions for a noob Driller as I try to solo the second stage of the EDD? The Mactera waves are wrecking me and I haven't been able to get by the second dreadnought fight yet.
floral coral
I think dreadnoughts are the hardest thing for drillers.
junior fossil
neurotoxin nade + burn usually take care of the mactera
you can also use the c4 to stun them
neurotoxin and sticky flame is a way to drag out kill a dread solo
sour elm
k
junior fossil
but you would need to build a combo of both sticky and direct damage
what I used is 2 1 2 3 2 with sticky additive (clean oc for damage)
sour elm
I only have a single overclock for the CRSPR - sticky additive is the one
I will try it - thanks for the advice
junior fossil
other than that if you have full auto subata it can deal a nice burst to the red health of the dread
it could work without the full auto mode, but it would require lots of spamming
floral coral
sticky is a really good one lore so that works out 🙂
junior fossil
else a trusty epc, either if you are good with thin containment or you can just go with the pew pew build
personally I like the pew pew against macteras, 1 2 3 2 3 heavy hitter
it can 3 hit them if you hit the weakspot
sour elm
I was using the subata with the extra mactera damage but it doesn't seem to matter much
junior fossil
yeah you need to do weakspot hit for subata to be affective
personally I like the on fire for subata better than the anti mactera
but the plus side of the anti mactera is the ability to 3 shot them with 1 2 1 1 2
the issue then become that it is just a designated mactera swatter
sour elm
The only overclock I have for the EPC is persistent plasma
I will try a run with the EPC instead of the subata and see how it feels
twin idol
In the first stage of EDD you can get enough nitra to justify using the impact axes vs the mactera in the second stage
I just did solo EDD with driller and that’s what I was forced into doing
I also ran the ice missiles on Bosco and they can one shot mactera
jagged geode
Imho secound stage is better to get nitra (EDD). A lot of easily reachable veins at spawn
twin idol
That’s probably what I was thinking of actually. There’s tonnes in there
junior fossil
also iirc you get 40 nitra per mule fixed
west carbon
mules fixed give nitra? in regular salvage too or only deep dives?
versed willow
Both.

Noob question how do you know you are ready for an elite deep dive without screwing your team over?
obsidian gorge
I think you can play a bunch of haz5 missions, or just try EDD solo ?
fringe kettle
When you can comfortably complete a haz 5 with few, if any, downs.
rustic escarp
Makes sense, thanks folks!
balmy ore
solo has 5s with certain modifiers are way harder than EDDs imo
rustic escarp
Turns out I was ready. Completed it in time before the weekly reset. Rock and stone!
balmy ore
I've done just 2 they are not that hard, the one from this week was easier tho
fierce shuttle
Do enemies that spawn start scaling up with victories? or is based more on your level effectively alongside difficulty?
Trying to figure why I had 2 opressors spawn on a 3 diff 2/1 mining bit, where overall time of completion was the same, only difference being the one higher level, and victorious run.
uncut raptor
victories do not influence spawn rate, atleast i don't think
hazard level and number of players influence the spawn rates
fierce shuttle
solo both times.
uncut raptor
spawns are also randomized, but are preset
so playing the same DD/EDD will result in similar spawns, but at different times
last week's EDD had 2 bulks spawning on stage 2
and some people had to fight them during or after the uplink
coarse drum
Spawns completely depend on luck; You will get to know when doing deep dives multiple times.
fierce shuttle
Thanks, was curious. And the next question I have, if you didnt mind. Can the engineers platform gun block the purple spawn holes from spewing out things?
coarse drum
If it's a bad RNG 2 bulks spawn during an uplink, beating the shit out of you
Never tried that, I think it can be done though, but it will require a lot of platforms, definitely not worth it.
I'd rather throw a LURE or build a sentry gun before taunting them
fierce shuttle
Thanks.
I dont really play engineer, just trying to get the guns and understand how the class works for things (alongside the perk point.)
coarse drum
If the driller in your team is good enough, he will flame the holes as he passes. The most efficient way to deal with swarmer holes.
fierce shuttle
I'll recall that for when i work up driller. Appreciate the help.

Is it true that you can't pause a deep dive
Like after 1/3 or 2/3
I did 1/3 of elite alone and failed at the dreadnaught after so I wasn't sure if it just resets
fringe kettle
I think if you solo it you should be able to pause with the ESC button (assuming that it follows the same principles as regular missions, I haven't tested this myself yet).
But no, if you fail at any stage you'll have to restart it from the beginning.
You'll keep the rewards from completed stages though.

yes, you can
but its not very time efficient
but you get rewards for helping out mates

you cant join a deep dive in progress

ah thank you

god i wish the game would spawn 9 bulks for me regularly
that or make BET-C a more common enemy, but a version that isn't repairable
maybe just make it drop some nitra on death or something

I thought dives all had the same spawns

spawns will vary with the amount of players
but if you do the same dive twice with the same amount of players then the spawns should be almost identical.

For DD as a gunner I've been using Dash + Shield link but would it be better to swap one to field medic?

narrow current
I had that same issue
How hard are "elite" dives? Not sure when to consider myself ready
honest tide
Elite dives are only slightly harder than Deep Dives
More specifically, the Elite Deep Dive's difficulty is around haz 4 and 5, so if you can complete either of those difficulties consistently, you can do an Elite Dive
fringe kettle
You can’t join deep dives in progress. If they’re greyed out then they’re in progress.
narrow current
okay thanks!
neat folio
Normal Deep Dives are equivalent to Hazard 3.5, 4 & 4
Elite Deep Dives are equivalent to Hazard 4.5, 5 & 5.5
so if you can do Hazard 5 stuff easily enough you'l do fine

I play mostly Scout/Drill based on vacant slots but I love playing engie
Feels great to join a scout without an engie

Engie was the last class I picked up. And I kinda regret not picking him sooner, just cause of how effective his gear is at wave clearing.
Still learning how to parkour with platform gun tho
willow salmon
Early on I was picking engi when possible mainly because I thought team is severely weakened without him
Now I mostly play scout because I play solo most of the time and grappling hook just lets me not give a damn about borked terrain, though I'm trying to balance out how much I play each char

uncut raptor
just did this week's edd with 2 scouts, a driller, and a gunner
it went surprisingly well considering that both scouts were blue rank 24
i can understand why the 2nd stage would be a pain, there were a lot of enemies
i just checked the end screenshot i took and holy shit the difference in enemies killed between me and everyone else
having 2 scouts instead of 1 scout and 1 engi is probably not a good idea for a full team for EDD
obsidian gorge
I think EDD stage 2 ,would be fine if I could handle acid spitters and shellbacks better, they deal so much damage
brave storm
4 shellbacks, an unusually bad tileset, tons of leeches and swarmers. couldn't get any worse
obsidian gorge
all those mules inside an open and complex area... wonder how to fix them safely
uncut raptor
2 bulks too
i think we were lucky when we did it, since both bulks didn't spawn during the uplink parts of the 2nd stage
odd comet
We only had one bulk
But it spawned during the uplink
I blame the driller for talking shit about how easy this EDD was 30 seconds before that

so 3 blanks, 3 weapon overclocks, 3 cosmetic cores per week
since that includes the core hunt weekly mission
young marten
so... there's no nitra in the first stage of EDD? I went to the 2nd stage only with 70 nitra...
and i killed some loot bugs
obsidian gorge
let me see how much I got
got at least 211 nitra, well.. don't forget mini-mules give nitra
young marten
on the first stage i needed to colect some eggs and activate the black box
the mini-mules objective was on the 2nd
obsidian gorge
so yea, I got 211 nitra just with nitra veins
and considering the map is the same
young marten
i only found one.... D:
obsidian gorge
well, I guess you can do it again to see if you can find them
young marten
I'll look for some people to help me, the 2nd stage was like hell...
obsidian gorge
I know xD
obsidian gorge
didn't have any trouble with those crystals
obsidian gorge
hue, I can check my fps drop from my recordings
well... I don't remember any active crystals though
young marten
but I can play all the other maps with no problems at all, only in crystalline caves that happens... and only around the crystals,s if I break them, everything goes back to normals
but I couldn't break them this time... I was busy dying
obsidian gorge
ok, I think I can see it, but would need more testing, around the area with the zap crystals on stage 2 my fps is changing a lot
uncut raptor
there should be enough nitra on the first stage to get you atleast 200+ nitra
without popping lootbugs
obsidian gorge
so , first death was when I was trying to recover a mule leg bosco left in a complicated spot , couldn't see around very well, so I got surprised by lots of bugs and died, the other death was with me exploring the botton part, with the 2 mules, just to be surprised by walking bugs and the shellback, shellback probably made it all much more complicated, and after being revived I got grabbed by leech just to get hit by another shellback when I landed
young marten
there's too many leechs... haha
obsidian gorge
only got grabbed that time though
obsidian gorge
maybe I should change bosco upgrades, but just to handle acid spitters and shellbacks
young marten
yeah... but there's also the leechs, bulk exploder, opressor, macteras.... I'll need a whole team for this
obsidian gorge
oh... so maybe I shouldn't bother trying to complete stage 2
young marten
xD
well... I won't try solo again....
I need my crew to break the crystals for me, so I can play
So, I'm playing the normal Deep Dive right now
it's normal to spawn 5 bulk exploder on the same run?
obsidian gorge
see, I got 2 bulk for the first stage on my first try, and got only 1 bulk on the run I completed, playing solo
luckly that bulk didn't spawn during uplink, and after that one, no others spawned
obsidian gorge
curious, isn't it
young marten
it's funny... I feel that the normal deep dive is too easy... and the elite is too hard
even with the 5 bulk exploders...
prisma inlet
you aren't alone in thinking that; I expect to die and fail Elite Deep Dives
merely getting past stage 2 and getting the blank cores and overclocks was a win for me

I think they mostly feel the same, but the thing is that EDD 2nd stage swarms always get me by surprise and I can't handle it

So I just promoted my scout for the first time and I wanted to know on what to expect and do when doing deep dives, anyone wanna help this newb?
bright dagger
scout mines hard to get minerals to save others faffing around to reach them
engineer makes it easier but you can basically manage without one if you get good at timing a flying power attack or use hover boots
as far as combat goes scout lacks presence in a stationary fight compared to any other class but can support with grenades
better off kiting around elsewhere to draw aggro
can also easily flank tanky enemies for buttshots and is the best at quickly taking out wardens/menaces if you can get breathing room to snipe them
o misread the question
basically just be scout, it's just 3 missions chained with two primary objectives each
wraith shard
Oh thanks! Does regular deep dives have haz3 difficulty on them?
versed willow
I don't think it quite reaches 4 on DD.

Stage 2 EDD solo was crazy
Acidspitters, leech, opressor and shellbacks on defense at the same time

the field during uplink should either depend on hazard level, or the number of players (or both)

Got really close one time but made it through
twin idol
What is the point of heightened senses with cave leeches lol
Just gets you killed
At least that’s my excuse for failing at second stage
young marten
@twin idol exactly, I died twice falling after releasing myself with this perk. And I even died once when the Bosco killed the leech, I just fell. I think we'll need the hover boots for this stage
Or maybe I should try the Engineer, and shoot the platform beneath me when I'm falling... I was playing Gunner and it was a complete failure >_>'
prisma inlet
I find it more useful as a warning
I'd prefer it to be a passive perk so that I can use something more dramatic for my second dynamic perk
since I'm always paranoid about cave leeches this saved me a number of times. Look up all you can, sometimes they'll still take you by surprise

Or just spam X while you wait for bosco shooting the rocks around the leech

stage 1 gives a blank core and blank cores are for machine events.
Once you get through the pool of OCs or cosmetics they'll give blank cores as well.

Does anyone know 100% if you get less minerals while mining with epc or not?

some may go flying, but none are actually destroyed.
so if a nitra vein has 10 nitra in it, it will always yield 10 nitra regardless of the method used to mine it. Just some methods may send those chunks far away.

Had an amazing hero moment during the Deep Dive. on Part 2 After Everything went wrong (A swarm and a bulk detonator showed up during the dreadnaught fight) I ended up going down while everyone else got to the Pod. Our Scout who didn't know if the mission would continue or not without me. Heroically ran to my body and revived me. Then after another bulk detonator shows up and I die again as we kill it. Another revive and I'm running for my life to the drop pod. I managed to squeeze into it with 3 seconds left before it would have left me to die. Amazing moment.

You're better off taking cryo or IFG the way things stand right now
odd comet
ifgs, probably
cryo shuts down flyers, but it's not particularly helpful against swarms unless you have crowd control (aka gunner/driller/engi)
It only gives you time to drop 4 or 5 grunts, or a praet before everything thaws
useful on mactera plagues though
fathom kelp
Sounds good, thanks
odd comet
ifgs slow everything significantly, and 'electrify' stuff in the field
doesn't do any electric damage, but it counts for the electrified-target bonus damage on zhukovs or the stubby
fathom kelp
I miss cheesing EDDs with solo scout pheromones already XD
latent hamlet
ifg also triggers BoM if you run gk2 for solo
triggers BoM on top of the weakness debuff for like ~65% extra damage

wraith shard
how can one be less useless playing as scout?
uncut raptor
keep track of wall flares, so the cave you're in isn't constantly dark
help your team focus larger targets like oppressors, praetorians, spit ballers and menaces
don't run off during swarms, especially on higher hazard levels
gaunt canopy
I like to freeze enemies with that grenade that you get so that you can flank and shoot the vulnerable spots as well. Crowd control.
uncut raptor
aye
scout's kit is more focused on target prioritising and repositioning, rather than crowd control
abstract pulsar
MK1 is excellent at priority targets. Jack up weak point damage and focus shot bonus and you can sink a cluster before it can think about attacking the team. Mainly use it for wardens though. And spitters/fliers/webs

most experienced long term players have no big problem in EDD
as long as they use proper builds and dont have haunted cave

Is there any tips on doing that freaking second mission on the EDD ?
i just can't make it work between the sometimes detonator and the spamming of opressor while trying to make the pod fuel objectif way too small area to stay.
foggy frigate
@radiant pond You‘ve properly recognised the problem in the last sentence. If the fuel cell spawns near a wall, then you need to clear the area around it. It is also crucial to clear the obstacles that may obstruct your line of fire and sight. This will allow you to spot and gun down the tricky enemies like the detonators from afar and gives you both room and time to dispatch other enemies.
radiant pond
By small area i wasn't meaning the wall around it --''
but nevermind pro dude have fun.
junior fossil
part of the problem is needing to kite around, when you do that it would make the thing go back, esp when a bulk is happening, opressors can be danced around usually
just make sure you have enough fire power to deal with the built up swarm after you focus down the bulk
the explosion might kill some bugs, but there is a build up when you run around
radiant pond
Bunker? makign a tunnel the mob won't travel? not working anymore cause of opressor & detonator no?
crystal gate
has anyone got some suggestions on how to beat stage two of this week's EDD
every time i get to uplink/refueling and then the bulk comes out to say hello
fading rampart
get a team
junior fossil
try and be mentaly prepared to kite the bulk while killing things around you, it is likely you would have to move out of range
make sure you call an extra resupply or two before you start place them abit far so you can kite to them incase of trouble
crystal gate
thanks for the advice
junior fossil
also, make sure not to run out of the zone too much because of oppressors you can trigger them to attack the corners of the zone
foggy frigate
Having a bulk on the map is a bit like having a wasp in a room. It is always good to keep it in sight. When I hear the characteristic snarl the detonators makes, I get „ultra aware“ and move away from tricky ledges or blindspots as the bulk likes to come around the corners. During salvage missions a good tactic is to allow the bulk to chase one player which leaves the circle and draws the attention away. It is also generaly helpful to have the possibility to either freeze the bulk or at least to electrocute him which slows him down to a crawl (BTW electrocution slows down the unknown horrors too)
junior fossil
also neurotoxin slows them
plush island
Did the latest Elite Deep Dive get nerfed?
That second level's big room had 4 or 5 Breeders and 2 detonators the first few times I tried it, then at some point in the weekend it changed to be easier (1 breeder, 1 detonator) and was actually doable, with a noticeable increase of nitra throughout all 3 levels as well,

Fragile is also better if killing things is your goal, Cold radiance is too short ranged for most situations
glossy wolf
Kinda curious on a "decent" deep dive Engineer setup. Recently just promoted all my glasses and Engineer seems to be a pretty solid choice for my playstyle
never really touched deep dive and was hoping to find some helpful tips
tawdry fjord
@glossy wolf deep dives are essentially just 3 regular missions in a row where the "secondary" obj is a toned down copy of one of the regular primary objs
tawdry fjord
Your health/ammo/nitra also carries over between them, but there's always plenty of nitra so that's never really a big issue
muted lance
i would say that cold radiance is great if you are willing to jump at the bugs
speeds up freezing of big bugs way more if you just jump on them
hot rain
id always kinda written off radiance but i saw a frost driller get really good use out of it the other day
for a team thats more inclined to dig in and defend rather than stay mobile the radiance seems like it would be really nice

Yeah, I've managed one Dive with each class.
Hmm, okay. Thanks!
Off to find a Haz 5 Haunted map I guess
glacial estuary
ah yep. my bad. i was mistaking it with elite deep dive
bleak granite
haunted is actually only bad if the map is full of small corridors IMO
on things like PE you can practically just ignore the horror even on haz 5

Hey guys could anyone help me?
Does anyone know if steam is eligible to cross play with Xbox or?
frail zodiac
nope
tawdry fjord
No, crossplay is only between Xbox and Windows Store version
scenic plover
advice for this week's deep dive? for a engi-scout duo
obsidian gorge
prepare to get bulks during uplink, only thing I can think of
scenic plover
@glacial estuary deep dives are basically haz 33, haz 3.5, haz 4
if you can manage haz 4 reliably with a rando you're ready
frail zodiac
its 3 3.5 3.5
dry grotto
^ interesting, did not know that.
sharp adder
With the introduction of Deep Dives, three new hazard levels are introduced that can only appear within a Dive: Hazard 3.5, 4.5, and 5.5; these can only be found within Deep Dives.
Regular Deep Dive: Hazard 3; Hazard 3.5; Hazard 4
Elite Deep Dive: Hazard 4.5; Hazard 5; Hazard 5.5 ```

If you can do Haz5 mactera, or Haz5 shield disruption then EDD should be fine

So, question! Been soloing EDDs on scout for awhile, wanted to ask you guys for advice. What primary would you select to go with IFGs (after nerfed pheromones) and a 3 punchthrough Jumbo Shells boomstick?
Especially on sections like EDD's 1st stage black box repairs or salvage holdouts, GK2 doesn't feel like it has enough mobbing capability to keep up.
dull silo
I personally like the gk2 but most people I see seem to run some variant of m1k with minimal clips
shut sierra
I usually run zukovs with the IFGs since it has the combo upgrade which increases their damage against such.
fathom kelp
Been running a hipfire minimal clip M1K build too, yeah. Feels much better for fighting dense hordes on 3rd stage EDDs
Boomstick for burst damage on praets, oppressors is always handy, too.

1st deep dive in the bag. had a GREAT team. carried me well! one intense session! R O C K and S T O N E !
unborn cairn
second deep dive ever and managed it solo woohoo
fathom kelp
Nicely done, you two 😄
patent fossil
soloed the elite with engi, felt damn good
really hard one this week i feel, stage 2 man..
timber cypress
Ikr
lament fable
i cant get a team that can do it
failed it 3 times already because of the second stage
the last time we got so close but everyone got overwhelmed and i kept having to drop shields to revive
patent fossil
stage 3 is kindof a breeze so you should be smooth sailing after 2
patent fossil
rock and stone! Was stressful since i tried it with friends like 7 times and couldnt get past second but man felt good
fathom kelp
Uplink and fuel, man.
Honestly feels like one of the most brutal objectives to have to deal with on EDDs
patent fossil
gosh when a bulk shows up during that everyones eyes go wide
fathom kelp
I think the scientific term for that is 'shit hits fan' 😛
Hope you brought a cryo or IFG on a scout. If not, guess it's a DPS check or die...
patent fossil
I am that scout usually
wraith shard
Im my experience the difficulty of salvage missions depends mostly on how much time you spend on preparing the surrounding area.
patent fossil
One of my elite salvage missions in magma core threw the box down a crevice as soon as the uplink started
fathom kelp
Yeah, that's the one nice thing that came with the pheromone nerf is that you always have IFGs or cryos around nowadays.
Otherwise, hope your driller and engie did their jobs and prepped.
patent fossil
I love cryo especially for dealing with breeders
uncut raptor
naedocyte breeders begone
sick finch
Dudes, I've been trying to complete the second stage of the current elite dive, but im apparently bad at the game
Does anyone have any suggestions?

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

blazing current
Oh right I haven't done the normal deep dive
twin idol
This EDD is tilting me so much
Failed second stage in exact same way back to back
Bulk detonator spawns when I’m defending the uplink
As driller, what I am meant to do
obsidian gorge
solo ?
bleak granite
freeze and then freeze and then freeze?
obsidian gorge
doubt that it would work at all
bleak granite
does anyone do consistent video walkthroughs of the weekly dives?
twin idol
Solo yeah
obsidian gorge
I heard you can give bosco those stun bullets to help with that
but I think it is just being lucky or not, if you can kill it fast enough to get back into the uplink in time, or just don't get it to spawn
twin idol
Tried it again with engineer
It spawned exact same time. About 15 second after uplink defence begins
Managed to kill it but it downed me twice
Then got spat to death by menaces
Think that’s enough EDD for me this week
So annoying too coz I’m having zero trouble with the rest of it
/rant
twin idol
That was a lie. I’m doing it again
obsidian gorge
what is your plan now ?
twin idol
Engineer again. Use bosco ice missile and save 12 breach cutter shots specifically for that detonator
Should kill it super quick
feral atlas
solo engi should kill bulks within 2-3 BC mags
honestly, this is the easiest EDD i've seen this year
twin idol
lol the bulk spawned after the uplink
