I think normal deep dive is Haz 4, Haz 4.5, Haz 5 for mission 1, 2 and 3 respectively
#deep-dive-discussion
ancient cove
Or it might be 3.5 - 4.5 with the same pattern
The first two missions should be easier, and the third mission will either be haz 5 or a bit easier, i'll double check
Oh regular is 3, 3.5, 3.5 for hazard apparently. @shadow parcel
EDD Is 4.5, 5, 5.5
shadow parcel
so if you can do haz 4 comfortably then deep dives should be fairly straightforward?
ancient cove
Yeah, just longer and a couple of them will have warnings. Shield disruption is my least favorite in a deep dive
shadow parcel
thanks!
pliant girder
Regular deep dives are pretty easy.
opal lynx
hi all, and im sorry if this is asked constantly, but what exactly is a deep dive? And when should i start doing them? (I have promoted a class)
obsidian gorge
it is a 3 stages long mission, each stage you have to complete 2 main objectives (such as morkite + eggs) , every time you complete a stage the first time (per week) you get a special reward, and the map is always the same for everyone, the difficulty is fixed too, being haz 3 - 3.5 - 3.5 for regular dives, and 4.5 - 5 - 5.5 for Elite, you access them after you promote a dwarf, which you will get by playing and reaching level 25
opal lynx
nevermind i scrolled up lol
even though I unlocked it on a toon, does it really matter what level the class is for a deep dive? I.e. I promoted my engi, but my gunner is lvl 17 with all guns unlocked
wraith shard
im french !!!!!!!!!!!!!
fringe kettle
You can only do a deep dive with a promoted character.
obsidian gorge
you can only used promoted classes

bright harbor
I fucking hate the Ghost.
There's no reason for it to be in the game.
You can't kill it, stop it, run from it, or even slow it down.
It's the worst thing in the game right now and needs to go.
ocean plaza
You can run from it, and slow it down using electricity iirc
It's one of the only modifiers that gives you a good challenge
bright harbor
Good challenge my ass.
If you're stuck in a room trying to kill a Dreadnaught, you can't leave.
ocean plaza
If you pay attention, you can easily avoid it
bright harbor
You have an invincible monster killing you constantly and there's nothing to stop it. It needs to be removed.
There are times when it can't be avoided.
It traps you.
ocean plaza
Kite the dreadnought to a larger room so you can kite the ghost and the dreadnought
Or play with others so that the focus is split between players
The dreadnought and the ghost
bright harbor
I was.
It didn't make a difference.
The room was destroyed, we had lava all over the floor, earth quakes slowed us down and we couldn't run.
It was a non stop barrage of being helpless and picking up downed team mates. Nothing could be done.
If we don't die, we run out of ammo, then we die.
ocean plaza
Well there is the problem, lava caverns is the hardest biome, so of course the ghost is going to be a challenge to face
bright harbor
My point is that it's unnecessary. It needs to be removed from the game.
ocean plaza
If the game didn't have a wrench to throw at you, the game would get stale.
pliant girder
It's just a one off thing you need to do once. EDDs are meant to be challenging.
ocean plaza
The harder the challenge, the more rewarding overcoming it is
pliant girder
Best bet is to just have one guy aggro it and bait it away from the rest of the team.
ocean plaza
If you want a possible solution, kite the ghost to the other side of the map from the dreadnought, then quickly run to the dreadnought and get as much damage in as possible before the ghost shows up
^^Also what @pliant girder said^^
grave fox
my guys just did the first elite dive mission then failed the second one because mactera are terrible
ocean plaza
@grave fox did they use the caves or a driller bunker to combat the mactera?
pliant girder
Yea they spawn out of thin air and can kill you instantly. Gunner shield is good. Driller does decent damage. And cryo grenades can kill a swarm in one hit.
grave fox
we tried to lure them above the guisers
ocean plaza
Above the geysers?
grave fox
yeah the lava geysers it works pretty well
theres a cave early on with 2 geysers and its good
ocean plaza
That sounds challenging to get them to fly over the geysers and stay there until the geysers erupt
Doable, but challenging
grave fox
we didn't have any particular tactic
we also accidentally summoned the 2 dreadnoughts simultaneously but still pulled through 
& 
ocean plaza
Mactera are weakest in close tunnels where they have to funnel in
grave fox
the trouble is we didn't have enough nitra for the second stage
ocean plaza
Stay in cover and force them to come to you through small tunnels, and the fight will be easier
ocean plaza
The driller can also make a panic bunker to escape the onslaught of mactera
grave fox
i've never found panic bunkers very effective
it just sort of backs you in to a corner
ocean plaza
It's harder to dodge projectiles, but they are more closely packed, allowing you to do more damage to them and allow less of them to attack at the same time
pliant girder
You can deal with them defensively by having a wall or bunker to block their shots but I prefer burst aoe damage. They bunch up so just hit them really hard.
grave fox
and if an opressor wanders into your bunker then you're toast
ocean plaza
Yeah, if an oppressor shows, you gotta drill out of the bunker
The driller has to be aware of a possible escape at all times
grave fox
which seems to happen every time my guy makes a safety hole
my driller plays sort of glass-cannony because he has the slow overclock
we might try it again with the cryo cannon
often our best tactic is to have the gunner set up ziplines out of harms way and have the gunner and the driller stay up there while me and the scout zip around taking care of stragglers
bright harbor
A monkey wrench that can be pulled out and fixed is fun. There's nothing fun about an invincible enemy.
grave fox
this doesn't work with mactera as they all fly and shoot projectiles
bright harbor
There's nothing fun about something you can't defeat. It's a waste of time and does nothing but cause frustration.
grave fox
its the only enemy like it in the game i think it makes for a fun challenge
especially since one of the team members can be used to lure it away while the rest fight the dreadnaughts
i dont know if this is a controversial opinion or not but the dash active ability is suuuper useful when dealing with the ghost
all my dwarfs except scout have the dash equipped then just zoom away from any fatal explosion (dreadnaught, bulk detonator etc.)
bright harbor
There's nothing fun about this.
Endless waves of bugs is fun.
Swarms are fun.
Traps are fun.
Digging for lost treasure is fun.
Puzzles are fun.
Invincible enemies you can't kill or lose is terrible. I hate it and it needs to be removed.
grave fox
??? you could not play those missions
im aware its hard this time because its one of the deep dives but there are hundereds of other mission types to play
ocean plaza
When faced with an obstacle that you cannot overcome, you can either avoid it or change how you play.
ocean plaza
All four characters have movement abilities that can be used to avoid the ghost
The scout can quickly escape, the gunner can zipline out of reach
grave fox
shield can repel ghost and you can use ziplines out of the range of its explosion to basically make it null
ocean plaza
The driller can tunnel away from it faster than it can tunnel to the driller
The engineer can try his best
grave fox
thats me : D
pliant girder
Yea the ghosts are really annoying but it's only a one time thing. You won't encounter it outside of EDDs much.
ocean plaza
This game rewards creativity and awareness
I highly doubt a ghost is impossible to overcome
grave fox
once you figure it out its super manageable
of all the warnings i think lethal enemies is the worst to be honest
last weeks elite deep dive was impossible because of the lethal enemies + nayaka trawler combo
pliant girder
I'd say mactera = lethal > ghost
At least glyphids don't spawn out of thin air and insta kill you.
grave fox
mactera is pretty terrible yeah
pliant girder
Plus you can kite melee enemies. Can't kite mactera.
grave fox
i swear they are like the most accurate projectilers in the whole game
grabbers and gooers aren't even that bad compared to like,, 20 mactera spawn
its like,, "oh you exist without cover? cool you are no longer alive"
quartz sable
It might be nice if they didn't get so close.
I think that adds to why they're so hard to dodge.
Making it so you could survive more than two of their shots would be nice too though.

spitballers are almost as bad as mactera
but at least you can shoot the projectile
a lot of people seem to forget that
granite lantern
spitballers are way less worse than mactera in general
spitballers give you hell in unfortunate circumstances
macteras give you hell regardless

spitballers can be dealt with with the engie's breach cutter with relative ease on any difficulty

Try duos. It’s the easiest combination of people since the difficulty barely scales up from solo.

I'm surprised we had a haunted cave on this one, wasn't bad tho, it's just that the ghost constantly chased after me, and only "me" throughout the stage

Is there additional rewards after you finish a DD? Kinda want to help greenbeards to get their cores but having no material drop is a hardsell

Hey guys
I jsut did my first ever Solo Deep Dive. It was hell lot of fun, however, at Stage 3, I had to get 2 eggs and fix 2 mini-mules. All good, until I didn't get to the drop pod. I was raided by a huge swarm, which is fine, but I had a Bulk Explorer come and just stand in the triangulation zone. Impossible to do solo. Was thinking if you have any tips, because it's a bit too much to have that bad boy rolling in the middle while you're being swarmed
Overall it wouldn't be a problem if not for the fact that if you lose all Triangulation Progress you insta-fail as Solo
Overall, I'm a streamer as well and I have to say - Deep Rock Galactic is a 10/10 game. Thank you for a fresh take on gaming!

random bulks in salvage are the bane of all
there's little you can do

Well, the problem is the whole 'solo' part. In a team, one or two people can go pull the bulk away from the uplink and deal with it while the others keep charging, but you can't really do that solo.

Scout really depends on his IFG grenades and on Iron will to deal with a bulk during an uplink. it's not as comfortable as for engineer, but you can definitely deal with (atleast one) bulk consistently that way

shieldless on egg hunt is pretty tame all things considered
you control swarm timing
there's nitra everywhere
and you have a huge arena to work with
the biggest swarm you're likely to see is the welcome part, and for that part you have the drop pod armor
tame verge
I mean could be worse, could have been a uplink mission.
At this point though I hardly notice shield disruption now
just tell the engi to be careful with the Return to Sender BC and that was really it
odd comet
@feral atlas I beg to differ
As we were clearing out the large room, before popping any eggs, we had a massive swarm spawn on us with two bulks
feral atlas
and what was your engi doing?
odd comet
Like, it was big enough to be an entire haz 3-4 swarm by itself
Trying to pick up the gunner and driller who got swarmed by grunts
While I kited the bulks around
feral atlas
I normally only play Haz5, with the more drastic mutators on
compared to shieldless salvage, shieldless egg hunts are extremely controllable
it honestly just sounds like the team was weak
odd comet
Well, yeah
None of them were above 75
But we were managing until I lagged out and disconnected
Ran into engi again in my next EDD, he said everything fell apart after I DCed
:p
feral atlas
there are teams that treat this as normal
and teams that are constantly trying to not immediately fail
odd comet
Eh
I can play Haz 5
I just don't enjoy it
And if you aren't enjoying the game, then what's the fucking point?
feral atlas
there isn't, unless there is a reward at the end
whcih is one issue I have the the reward design of dives
they push you to play difficulties you don't like, with players you might not want to be with
on biomes you might hate, with mutators you might also hate
or missions types you hate
of course without the reward the game mode has no reason to exist
but the existance of the rewards is why you see shakey players in EDD that have 0 reason to be on a difficulty they can't handle

it's hard, so that's why its in edd

but thankfully that last cave on the 2nd stage also gave us extra nitra to make through the beginning of stage 3

One of the guys got dc'ed right when we called the pod for the end of the third level, he added us as a friend and we waited for him to make sure he gets rewarded for his hard work
granite lantern
how the hell do people solo the EDD every damn week?
gotta get good
its not fun playing slow, walking on eggshells, suffering from fall damage, etc
@craggy prairie you know you dont really have to do that right
shield disruption gives you a health boost
you can try to go through it normally just fine
sometimes you can even forget you have disruption
In fact shield disruption is not entirely bad
It makes you more tanky to consecutive attacks
also red rock blaster + shield disruption is a ton of hp

@granite lantern So, would you say the best tactic is to just go for it and not worry about getting every bug cleared?
Because in solo I tend to worry more about that.

Guys sorry if this is asked frequently but how can I tell when there's a new Deep Dive? Like I did my first one yesterday but don't remember the name, so can I look somewhere to see when it's refreshed? Maybe the clock below the mission's name? thanks
somber jacinth
there's a timer in the Deep Dive terminal.
maiden hound
oh ok. So as long as it's empty means I haven't done the mission yet. Thanks
somber jacinth
yea
maiden hound
🙂
somber jacinth
the Elite Deep Dive is EVIL.
maiden hound
Yeah I'm used to H3 normal missions and the regular DD was fine in terms of difficulty
H4 destroys me so I have a long way to go before an EDD haha

EDD goes Haz 4.5, Haz 5, Haz 5.5

@maiden hound the deep dive always changes at the same time
one day and nine hours ago, it changed
so yea every thursday
same goes for the weekly assignments

This weeks elite deep dive mission 2 is absolute crap/ Shield disruption is brutal
brittle kestrel
2nd week doing elite deep dives and shield disruption is really rough. i really love this game, but i would appreciate some tips.
knotty rampart
@brittle kestrel i got tips if you like. What specifically are you having trouble with
brittle kestrel
@knotty rampart proper comp and strategy for the elite deep dive. stage 1 is cake, stage 3 also does not look bad. stage 2 is really rough. I'm running scout gunner with a buddy. Is there a better combo? We try to carry over 2 supply pods from the first stage for some extra hp, but we struggle to get all the eggs before getting overwhelmed.
knotty rampart
Yes definitely a better combo
Always have at least engi or driller since they both have fantastic traversal tools while retaining good firepower
And gunner is good for some traversal and really big guns
Scout isn't a good choice unless you've got a full team since he really doesn't have very good firepower
scarlet willow
if ur not running scout be careful of the leeches that spawn
knotty rampart
Should you not be careful of leeches otherwise? :p
scarlet willow
well no its just with scout u should light up every new cave
usually spotting leeches in big caves isnt too hard as long as u shoot a flare up
buoyant pewter
The only challenging thing about this EDD is the shield disruption mod
If anyone has solo'd whats the class / build to do so?
knotty rampart
Scout for bum rushing everything and avoiding all bugs
Driller for taking it easier
buoyant pewter
Yeah thats what I was thinking too
knotty rampart
And engi is also sometimes a good option
buoyant pewter
So what would you use then
buoyant pewter
what does that driller build look like in general
knotty rampart
Flamer and sub or epc
And then really whatever you normally run tbh
The biggest part of it is being quick at objectives and being good at not dying
buoyant pewter
I feel like im good at surviving but when I do that I cant do objectives. Hard to dig out eggs when I cant gen shields during downtime
buoyant pewter
Yeah I will give it some more tries tomorrow as driller, had 3 or 4 failed attempts today as gunner and I feel like I couldnt last long enough. Shield mechanic seems cool I wish it wasnt disabled, feels like artificial difficulty tbh
rotund veldt
I used a Diller with Cyro-Vampire. Really easy with how ammo efficient it is and being able to get back all your health by drilling into a mini horde. Did it solo though

I had to bail on my first deep dive due to a tornado warning

I prefer weekly over daily. daily it just becomes too much. plus you would unlock all the cores too fast

This deep dive is pretty tough, cant get past level 2

Same but for the elite one
Although it does seem to have a knack for causing really experienced players to take leave of their senses
In the middle of a swarm the engie just walks right through like 20+ glyphids to go heal our downed digger, dies in the process obviously
don't know what the plan was
haz 5 + shield disruption is a nasty combo
dull silo
pulled through 2 greenbeards with me, the trick for stage 2 is to take it slow and to accept that youre gonna use like 300 nitra there

I got partly carried by my group on EDD stage two. It was the only stage I popped my IW or Field Medic charges on. We agreed early on that gold wasn't worth it and went into the stage with a good supply of nitra.

@buoyant pewter I beat the elite deep dive with a duo (I was engineer he was scout) on my first run, so I’m not sure if it was lucky, considering it was my first EDD. The shield disruption was definitely bad, and we both had a down on that mission, but I ran field revive and iron will which got me a clutch, was able to drop resupply, resurrect my scout, vampire a few grunts and then take the resupply, and besides a scary situation where I got stuck in a tunnel we made because we don’t have a driller and are lazy, it was pretty smooth from there. Scout was sure to collect lots of nitra, which was relatively easy since I was leaving platforms everywhere, and we went into stage 3 with 230 nitra and already pretty stocked.
We also both had tunnel rat which 100% saved me from taking any fall damage multiple times when combined with my platforms.
The only things I would have done differently was make my friend bring friendly because his ms1000 or whatever it is called almost instant kills me whenever he hits me with it, it drops 3/4ths of my health in one shot.
buoyant pewter
Word thanks for the info
dull silo
Why was he shooting you though 
nimble sky
because i walk in the way? I don’t know
I hit him with loads of breach cutters but they do like 0 damage
round jungle
breach cutter definately does not do 0 damage
dull silo
Breach cutter friendly fire is fairly low compared to how much damage it does against enemies
It deals damage for as long as it touches targets, and dwarves simply aren't as girthy as glyphids

Man, wish I could save the seed for this week, especially cave 2

I definitely was carried through the EDD. But it was my first one. I'm also dumb and didn't realize shield disruption was a thing. Once i saw that i did way better 😂

Today I met 5 bulks on elite deepdive 😮
scarlet willow
i had 2 on stage 2 cause my team pulled a bunch of legs at the same time
5 though jfc
blissful peak
Oh I forgot to say, I met 5 of them at 3rd stage 😄 Absolutely unheard of, for me
granite lantern
tf how long did it take you
blissful peak
Oh I see, time might be the factor... Took over one hour coz we missed one more player
scarlet willow
how many eggs did you fucking pull
wraith shard
...what the actual fuck did I read?
somber jacinth
I'm hoping that next week's Elite Deep Dive is a bit more forgiving with the mutators.
no shields is not fun.
keen bronze
so i got this disk after doing a deep dive right
but i go to the forge and it says i dont have any available even though it says i got one when i exit the forge
somber jacinth
if its a blank core, you have to infuse it by completing a machine event
keen bronze
a who the what now
somber jacinth
machine event. basically a special challenge.
keen bronze
and where do i find these special challenges
somber jacinth
they spawn in normal, non deep dive missions.
keen bronze
ah
also one of the disks gave me a wepon overclock for the driller
but i go to that gun and it says something about instable overclock
fringe kettle
Machine events spawn randomly in regular missions just like cargo crates and lost helmets.
a bit higher of a frequency though
fringe kettle
pretty much
scarlet willow
yeah they are pretty obvious
keen bronze
and the instable overclock?
somber jacinth
Unstable.
keen bronze
yes
somber jacinth
has one extreme upside, but has some pretty SEVERE downsides.
keen bronze
it wont let me equip it though
somber jacinth
you have to have a modification in each tier to apply an overclock.
keen bronze
i have every thing unlocked
somber jacinth
do you have the minerals and credits to forge it?
keen bronze
yes
i have already forged
but it saying unstable overclock
and i cant equip it to my gun
keen bronze
im not on my computer right now
i was just wondering if anyone knew
i will do tomorrow, thank you

hello when is a good time to start doing edds? i got my first promotion and did a deep dive but i'm skeptical about joining an edd run.
brisk sorrel
Having at least 1 good overclock for your primary weapon and being able to provide meaningful support/play in Haz4 would be where I would put the mark. It's also better if you have a full team before going in so if you start one make sure to have all slots filled prior to dropping in.
@proper cradle ^ Sorry I forgot to mention so you knew I was responding to you.

thanks a lot !

not like just trying one out on solo would be a bad idea

I've completed the EDD. it is pure uncensored EVIL.
tough meadow
I did my first deep dive today and found it pretty easy and straight forward. Having been playing on mostly hazard 4 I thought "Okay, why not the EDD?" And then I got recked. Are they all that bad?
somber jacinth
depends on the Mutators.
if Shield Disruption does happen, I'd prefer it to be at the start or at the very end. not the middle.
tough meadow
I see now why I got kicked from an earlier lobby
granite lantern
I did my first deep dive today and found it pretty easy and straight forward. Having been playing on mostly hazard 4 I thought "Okay, why not the EDD?" And then I got recked. Are they all that bad?
@tough meadow this is one of the easiest edds lol
They arent so bad, you just arent prepared
they go to hazard 5 and hazard 5.5 after the first stage
somber jacinth
@granite lantern so according to your logic, everyone has to be able to solo the EDD, regardless of mutators? seems farfetched if you ask me.
dull silo
I think its fair to say the large majority of players can learn to solo EDD's actually. I think that most people who struggle just haven't played that much
somber jacinth
I've got 263 hours, however I am not even ready to do normal DDs solo. I like having a full squad.
dull silo
how often do you try to solo DDs?
somber jacinth
never.
dull silo
So you haven't played the relevant content very much at all :p
somber jacinth
with that comment, now I'm even less motivated to do that.
dull silo
Why?
somber jacinth
you're basically saying almost 270 hours is haven't played enough.
dull silo
no no
im saying that 270 hours of playing multiplayer doesn't translate very well to playing solo
if you wanna get better at playing solo, you should play solo. much in the same way that I could still learn a lot by playing more multiplayer cause I've done most of the EDDs solo
If anything 270 hours in the game means that picking up solo EDDs would probably go really fast, I don't doubt you could spend a week playing to get it down to a point where you can finish it in a few tries
somber jacinth
there's challenging difficulty, then there's utter bullshit.
which is what this week's EED is classed as. utter BS.
scarlet willow
other edds have been harder
and people only though the second stage was difficult
so i wouldnt classify the entire edd as utter bs
dull silo
idk when I started doing EDDs (somehwere after 1.0) but id say this was the hardest one since i started
scarlet willow
eh
i dont think shield disruption is that bad
tons of nitra
i was eating supplies every minute
dull silo
sure, i dont think it was drastically different from other EDD
somber jacinth
in my book, Shield Disruption in the MIDDLE is BS. put it at the start or the end.
scarlet willow
if it was at the end you would probably still call it bs
dull silo
i mean, the earlier you get shield disruption the less of an issue it is
somber jacinth
then couple it with Critical Weakness to make it a fuckin cakewalk.
scarlet willow
there was lots of nitra this edd
dull silo
yep
scarlet willow
id bet more than 50% of my resupplies were stage 2
dull silo
though nitra generally isnt an issue in EDDs
scarlet willow
^
quartz ibex
This EDD is difficult but so are EDDs in general. The two big mistakes I could see people making are not going into stage 2 with a comfy nitra cushion and pulling eggs without their team being ready for the added Fun to shoot at
somber jacinth
my first Completed EDD was Total Fissure in Glacial Strata. did that one TWICE.
dull silo
#drg-chat is probably more appropriate, but you might be able to afford 1 upgrade for a primary weapon for whatever class you wanna play
somber jacinth
Deep Dives in Sandblasted Corridors are just clusterfucks in general.
dull silo
Trawlers can be pretty annoying thats for sure
somber jacinth
I liked the Total Fissure EDD. had top tier coordination and comms.
granite lantern
@granite lantern so according to your logic, everyone has to be able to solo the EDD, regardless of mutators? seems farfetched if you ask me.
@somber jacinth i mean, this one edd doesnt have particulary fucked up mutators
the only mutator that is a massive middle finger to solo players is haunted cave
which can be an ass depending on the level
somber jacinth
Shield Disruption can fuck right off.
dull silo
happily, haunted is trivial to scout
granite lantern
It gives you extra HP so you are tankier against multiple dmg being dealt to you at once
if you have trouble with it then bring red rock blaster
its going to increase your health by well over double on shield disruption
anyways shield disruption is not as bad as you're making it out to be
the problem is on your end bro
somber jacinth
and there goes my motivation to even try DDs solo. thanks for ruining it.
dull silo
Are.. Are you okay?
granite lantern
and there goes my motivation to even try DDs solo. thanks for ruining it.
@somber jacinth unironically, man up lol
rather than saying that you should like
play the game
get more used to it
become a better player
I dont see myself as a particulary great player and i have been soloing every edds that come out for months
even the one with haunted cave PE a while ago
dull silo
wait, dyou solo on engi or scout, i forget
dull silo
I'm just surprised you give such credence to haunted, admittedly ive never solo'd on engi tho
granite lantern
you could have just said that before you know
if you want to, you can just like
wait until the week does not have shield disruption
but if you give up every time the week has low o2, shield disruption, lethal enemies or haunted cave, you're gonna have a bad time
somber jacinth
Haunted Cave is as bad as Magma Core.
I can deal with it yes, but I don't like it.
granite lantern
scout edd isnt bad
i have yet to try solo gunner edd
I dont generally like solo gunner much because slowest mobility
i guess i'd wait for rocky mountain beer before attemptin
his shields make uplinks really easy though
dull silo
gunner admittedly seems to have a harder time soloing than all the other classes
granite lantern
even if the uplink had bad rng and fucks you up, you can probably pull through without firing with bosco revives and sheild
eh i disagre
*disagree
scout is considerably more uncomfortable imo
specially because uplinks
dull silo
scout is absolutely amazing at everything except for uplinks
uplinks hes admittedly especially weak at compared to other classes
granite lantern
scout has really slowass wave clear
dull silo
i dont think scout generally has to wave clear tho
granite lantern
he has considerably less breathing room than other classes
dunno fan i find it very uncomfortable to ignore waves as solo scout, and also slow
imagine having to stall out everythin forever in h5
granite lantern
hm
dull silo
like ye, you cant kill stuff fast, but also, you can just pull like 4 eggs at the same time cause lol who cares im scout
granite lantern
i generally just clear everything and then go back to work
i mean for eggs sure
i usually just kill the egg swarms though
but still pull out multiple
if i have a supply pod then its good news to see the swarm stack up kinda
dull silo
re gunner tho: gunner is in the awkward position of not really getting to cheat any of the things that show up in EDD (unlike driller or scout), not having meaningfully more killing power (than driller or engi) and his shield being significantly less useful in single player
granite lantern
uh disagree
shield is omega useful in single player
and he does have a much easier time in uplinks
specially with shields and ziplines
also his best primary grunt clear has a lot of ammo
dull silo
you think he has an easier time on uplink than driller or engi?
granite lantern
I usually suffer as gunner when the nitra rng sucks and i run out of secondary
than driller yea tbh
engi no
dull silo
hmm
granite lantern
provided they bring AC
if you get a bulk you can also like
nuke it with secondary
dull silo
idk uplinks already feel pretty trivial to driller - with the exception of rng spawns theres not many situations he cant deal with that gunner can
granite lantern
if it goes wrong you can like
shield ressuply
get ammo shoot more
if anything you die to bulk explosion or one aoe which will cost you a revive
but if you go to uplink without revives youre already slightly begging to RNGesus
what is something driller can deal with that gunner cant?
dull silo
oh nothing
granite lantern
other than bad terrain
dull silo
i dont think driller is better than gunner
i think theyre pretty much same level of killyness
granite lantern
for solo ye
dull silo
ye, for solo, clearly
like the worst thing that can happen to driller is a bulk spawning so close that sticky flames to slow isnt enough
granite lantern
ye
dull silo
and gunner absolutely has more tools to deal with that
granite lantern
subata wont deal with that
dull silo
i mean, it will, just not if the bulk spawns within range to start aoeing

you can also ask and discuss builds in #drg-chat to try to optimize a bit
hollow osprey
If it helps at all, for me, the gunner has been a huge help with harder deep dives. The use of the shield and the use of ziplines really helps out.
plain gazelle
failed the edd again, I feel like this one with shield disruption was just not meant to happen for me
plain gazelle
Yeah, for the missions you succeeded only
versed willow
You get the rewards from each stage you passed (core, OC) but 25% of the rest.
plain gazelle
We were one egg away from escaping that second level dammit
civic saffron
so if I fail on stage 3 I get all the stage 2 rewards + 25% of what was collected in stage 3?
plain gazelle
I could have been happy with that
versed willow
1 and 2 rewards, 25% of the total other stuff.
plain gazelle
which is still a lot of xp, I failed edd at level 2 with pots of gold, still got 13500 creds and 9000 xp
Which is as much as a successful regular mission on like haz 4
obsidian gorge
no you won't get the same Overclock or cosmetic
obsidian gorge
no you can't redo the same Deep dive , you wont get the cores again
plain gazelle
Oh repeats as in repeating the deep dive yeah no you get those once per week
You also can't get duplicates of cores you already own
civic saffron
oh I meant repeats as in getting core duplicates
but you can still play the DDs you just can't get more cores rt
plain gazelle
Yeah
You can replay as much as you want, I assume that's where the speedrunning aspect comes in
Knowing the levels by heart etc, which you can't do in the regular game
civic saffron
oh tru dumb question
plain gazelle
But no more cores if you got them once
merry monolith
WELL i MADE IT TO STAGE 3 OF EDD
solo
ran out of ammo
but I'm pretty happy as is
I got my weapon overclock
and when I say ran out of ammo I mean I ran out of breach cutter ammo because that the #1 difference between todays run and yesterday when I was trying to solo with scout
I used 3 breach cutter round to kill 3 prelatorians which just spawned together.
I feel like my average against 3 prelatorians with scout is like 3 mags of something
dull silo
Ye engineer is a good deal killier than scout. Gj getting to stage 3!
merry monolith
Yeah I think I got it in the bag if I try again, mainly because my routing through stage 2 was so inefficent I hit too many swarms
Also if I'm a bit faster on stage 1 I think I can hit only one swarm, last time I was like 10 seconds off finishing before the swarm hit
though that doesn't super matter since I only use one resupply that mission anyways
I feel like my build wouldn't have worked that well in a 4 man squad, i just use ammo too quickly
you get a lot more to yourself as a solo
dull silo
ye solo builds arent always the same as group builds. That said, keep in mind that the number of swarms in stage 2 is always gonna be the same (its primary objective is a length 3 eggs, so you'll always get 3 swarms)

Length 3 eggs? Meaning you'll get swarms after deposting 3 eggs and after depositing all eggs?
fervent cedar
f-five?
late elm
One of whom spawned on the escape pod
We managed to kill one bulk with another bulk
Galaxy brain
Wiped on third somehow, the unluckiest mactera swarm ever
leaden geode
@merry monolith I think is more like there's 33% to 50% chance for announced swarm with each egg, otherwise it's going to be a small one
late elm
Multiple grabbers, multiple menaces, dozen mactera, the usual swarm all while we had just popped the dread
smh
dull silo
@merry monolith you always get the same amount of total swarms for a given amount of eggs if it's the primary objective. You get 1 swarm for 2-4 eggs, 2 for 6 eggs and 3 for more than that. When they'll happen is random tho
The length I mentioned is because for regular missions, length 1 is always 4 eggs, length 2 is always 6 etc
