It messes with doretta's pathfinding

wraith shard
#

Hi guys

#

second time I tried deep dive

#

was a great team and pleasure

#

thank you guys

#

that was funny as hell

#

(i was the engineer who died like shit just 20meters in front of the rocket lol)

gray niche
#

It was a good game, but it was tragic at the end. I got in the drop pod and turned around only to see the door close and your red outline on the other side.

distant river
#

Just had the drill dozer dig all the way back to drop after the second resupplu

#

When it arrived at drop we got a mission failure

#

It was also taking damage the whole time despite no bugs being around

#

Scrolling up this seems like it’s happening a lot dang

delicate geode
#

Best bet for Scout killing rocks is Embedded Det Zhuks from what I've tried. Knock em down real quick.

weak pivot
#

I've noticed this as well and I don't during normal missions so I wasn't sure if this is coincidence or actually something

hoary pecan
#

Yea they deal so much damage to doretta

#

Hopefully the EDD does not have a lot of acid spitters on the escort mission

weak pivot

#

hello how does one go about finding the cargo crates? as is how would you know if they spawn or not.

red sparrow
#

um i was told they supposedly spawn on normal missions but have never found the things. so are they a Deep dive only thing now?

weak pivot
#

They are not, no, I reckon they're rarer in elite deep dives - I was wondering cuz u asked the question in deep dive discussion

red sparrow
#

oh sorry.

weak pivot
#

They definitely spawn in normal missions by chance, not 100% chance however

#

Typically, you'll hear the batteries beep before you find either crate or battery - find the battery and look around the area where you find the battery

#

It could be in a parallel tunnel above or next to - but it'll be scattered around the crate @red sparrow

red sparrow
#

well that is good and all but how would someone know if they have even spawned in or is it all just guess work?

weak pivot
#

you know when you find it lol sorry that's not the answer you're looking for

red sparrow
#

yeah what ever just won't bother

weak pivot
#

at some point, you'll gather enough stuff from the crates that you only get the minerals it spits out and not the aesthetics; I wouldn't go outta the way to get them lol that's probably really tedious

brittle kestrel
#

that EDD can blow me. completed it, but that was stressful.

weak pivot
#

haha yeah it was! Would still redo it (already have)

brittle kestrel
#

i feel so relaxed and good that i finished it

feral oasis
#

Im ready for the next set of deep dives

hoary pecan
#

My time is running out to do these deep dives

jade sorrel
#

the EDD isn't that difficult this time, but for some reason people insist on going lonewolf from the group and dying

Would any like to chime in on if they beat the EED (WINDOWS STORE VERSION) Post update? I have tried 3 times on 3 different days post update with and without pre-clear, duos and quads. EVERYTIME Doretta gets to Heartstone she turns around all the way to drop pod in spawn.

#

I only had once instance she didn't turn around at the heartstone and that was in duos PRE-UPDATE but rocks and venom end the mission. I am convinced the update borked it. (windows store version)

viral atlas
#

please remove drilldozer from deep dives

#

it's buggy and extremely hard even in solo

#

150h+ and I can't complete it

#

lmao

unreal bone
#

Honest question, has anyone come up with a good strategy for the Drilldozer in the second part of the EDD? When it first hit, I ran the mission four times with some folks and we could not do it. The combination of lethal enemies, high hazard, and the escort makes it feel nigh impossible.

viral atlas
#

impossible one

median siren
#

Idk about a strategy but we took no engineer and had 2 gunners with AC

#

It worked well

viral atlas
#

xd

#

well

#

pog

#

I have only engineer with stars

#

😦

median siren
#

I have gunner and engi w stars

median siren
#

Ah I see

#

So idk

#

Fat boy?

#

Spinning death BC?

viral atlas
#

fat one

median siren
#

You have it?

viral atlas
#

lots of damage by the sentry

unreal bone
#

I did it with a full team. I was running with the lead storm overclock and could kill whatever that came our way, it just got to a point where we couldn't keep the whole team up because of Menaces/Acid Spitters knocking us down.

median siren
#

Yeah lead storm is good for direct damage not killing a lot of monsters

#

AC is better for this

viral atlas
#

but

median siren
#

Take Big Bertha if you have it

viral atlas
#

for all time a had only one opressor

median siren
#

Had 3 bulks

viral atlas
#

I've been killed by small babies

median siren
#

Big Bertha go boom

#

That’s sad

viral atlas
viral atlas
median siren
#

We all killed them

viral atlas
#

that's the point

median siren
#

We finished the mission w 1 part at 6%

viral atlas
#

bulk goes boom and minus drilldozer

median siren
#

The last one

#

The last one broke 2 parts at once

#

Idk how

viral atlas
#

well

#

findin is that drilldozer isn't good for dd

#

even in simple dd

median siren
#

In the EDD from 2 weeks ago, we had a Bet-C

#

We were scared asf

#

And Doretta just Insta killed it

#

We wanted to not do it but dotty said something else

#

“Let’s one shot Bet-C “

viral atlas
#

like u can defeat it in solo

median siren
#

There is one?

viral atlas
#

I had one

#

so good

median siren
#

That was lucky

viral atlas
#

yep

#

but

median siren
#

Pray Karl for this luck

viral atlas
#

heh

viral atlas
#

cuz I already know all entire first part

median siren
#

sad bet-c noises

viral atlas
#

and can pass it with blindfold

viral atlas
#

but the second one

#

dev's bad it's insane

median siren
#

?

viral atlas
#

second part is insane I meant

median siren
#

Ah yes

viral atlas
#

nvm

median siren
#

I did it with 2 insane gunners w like red 1 stars

viral atlas
#

how much damage deal theirs guns?

#

personally

#

btw I have a module

#

that makes my gun to deal 33 dmg

#

a lot

median siren
#

What gun? Minigun and Ac?

viral atlas
#

ac

median siren
#

Minigun does 10

#

AC does 14 direct

#

12 area

viral atlas
#

yeah I know

median siren
#

They did like 55 direct with Big Bertha

#

Idk

viral atlas
#

oh

median siren
#

A lot

viral atlas
#

wow

#

I have Big Bertha too

#

well

#

what's the config?

#

I have only 33

median siren
#

Idk probable spread, damage and ramp-up speed

#

Ah i didn’t know the stats

#

But they said like 50

#

So I think they included the area damage

#

How much AoE damage?

viral atlas
#

think so

viral atlas
median siren
#

Can you see?

#

I’m rly curious about this

viral atlas
#

1.4

median siren
#

No

#

The damage

viral atlas
#

9

median siren
#

Bruh

viral atlas
#

42

#

summarily

median siren
#

9 AoE damage?

viral atlas
#

ye

median siren
#

42 total w direct?

viral atlas
#

idk

#

maybe

median siren
#

Hmm

viral atlas
#

but clean dmg is 33 with module

heavy oriole
#

Rock and Stone
Loot and Bug

hazy comet
#

minigun stun is super undervalued. it can really make/break a swarm if you line up breakthrough rounds and fan the wave

viral atlas
#

ye

#

also with coolin and penetration it is really nice thing

#

here's the choice between killin time and dps

#

I'm choosing killin tume ofc

#

cus it combines with charge speed of ac

hazy comet
#

if you havent tried burning hell minigun + volatile bullets bulldog you should

#

kills stuff REALLY fast and gives you an easy way to deal with swarmers

steady schooner
#

Burning Hell is fantastic. I tried Volatile Bullets, but found Elephant Rounds to be more versatile.

heavy oriole
#

Ye ye, I have a recommendation for you @steady schooner

#

Burning hell, try running aggressive venting. Then go bulldog with AOE Nuero mod, and then run 6 shooter or magic bullets. It’s my fav build.

#

If you want volatile bullets, you need to run hot bullets, not necessarily burning hell.

steady schooner
#

Thanks @heavy oriole. I’ll give that build a try!

little oxide
#

man, the escort edd is brutal

heavy oriole
#

Yah

marble steppe
#

for my first elite deep dive that was fucking brutal but I got it done

drowsy spruce
#

Any driller build you guy's suggest for EDD?

feral atlas
#

Gunner.

drowsy spruce
#

Meh, that's just suboptimal

feral atlas
#

Escort as a mission type highly depends on your gunner's performance.

drowsy spruce
#

I do my best not to play gunner , is like my 3rd pick

feral atlas
#

Because if the only person on your team with the shield is an idiot, you're losing a lot of utility in the game mode that involves protecting an npc with a health bar.

drowsy spruce
#

I guess

feral atlas
#

Autocannon with certain builds is basically a ranged flamethrower.

drowsy spruce
#

Is digging ahead still cause the bug ?

feral atlas
#

Not exactly. But it appears to make it significantly more likely.

drowsy spruce
#

Oh chucks. I hope the phantom damage bug is not a thing anymore

feral atlas
#

But if you're hoping to solo carry as a driller, it's going to be difficult.

drowsy spruce
#

They are manageable. I mostly run a generic full ammo fragile cryo build

#

It helps me handle the large crowds. My biggest concern is the rocks. I have like almost no damage to kill them fast enough

feral atlas
#

...

#

Autocannon is built for large crowds.

#

This EDD is probably an easy 1k+ kills for any half good autocannon user.

celest oasis
#

EDD is insane, just failed 2nd stage for the 4th time this week already, drill dozer dies too fast vs lethal enemies

#

we have two gunners as well, still not enough

#

both using autocannons lol

#

wonder what the completion rate statistics are for this weeks EDD

viral tulip
#

Finally got my ass carried through by a very nice fellow named Terry

#

I should probably play more engineer before subjecting public lobbies to that gameplay again, I felt bad for my teammates

feral atlas
#

....if 2 autocannon gunners couldn't do it, they sucked

celest oasis
#

4 player edd just feels ridiculously over scaled for this weeks EDD

#

definitely takes the cake for hardest mission type now, escort+lethal+EDD

#

duo sounds much more manageable I reckon

feral atlas
#

this is nowhere close to the hardest I've seen

celest oasis
#

whats the hardest iyo?

feral atlas
#

Pre-nerf lethal enemies salvage

celest oasis
#

I mean right now

#

but ye I guess

feral atlas
#

Lethal salvage

#

I've beaten this edd twice on 4 player pubs this week

#

both teams were class locked

#

it's not overscaled

#

it's just bad pubbers

celest oasis
#

failed it 4 times already this week, cba

#

bad pubbers or Im bad 😂

celest oasis
#

the missions are way too long also tbh

#

they need to find out how to reduce the length

feral atlas
#

It's harder than average and buggy, but not apacolptic

spiral ember
#

wow 1h15 min is al ong time to play an escort haha

celest oasis
#

indeed, idk how GSG can reduce the length tho, it needs to be eventually

#

refinery is naturally long

#

dozer idk, maybe faster speed

spiral ember
#

Haven't tried a deep dive yet, just got all 4 classes to promoted+5-10 levels each waiting on friends to catch up, I'll probably try PUGing

celest oasis
#

pre refinery/escort EDD never used to take more than 40-60mins at most (most pubs)

#

easily 1hr + now

feral atlas
#

refinery is long, but the length for this EDD mainly comes from stage 2

celest oasis
#

I think most teams I've been on clear refinery in 20-30mins

#

dozer is yike

delicate geode
#

Deep Dive escorts would be best capped at one refuel

signal pawn
#

Just spoke with Jacob about this and the rationale behind there potentially being x2 refuel stops is that it’s only possible for it to be a primary objective, like you have 7 or 10 Aq’s type thing

feral atlas
#

fuel stops are related to map length

#

length 3 is 2 fuel stops

#

the actual primary objective is to not let the drill die

celest oasis
#

another way to shorten the escort is just make it easier to fill the canisters

#

so less time spent dawdling around

#

and or/speed up the dozer base speed by a bit

amber junco
#

Okay, having Doretta reset mid-path to park behind the landing zone is annoying enough for normal missions, but during regular deepdive stage 2 it's just beyond aggrevating.

Tips on soloing regular deep dives? I don't have good enough internet to play with others sadly. This week i barely made it through the first one then did great on the second but was killed by a Detonator.

At least both of the DDs don’t have Escort.

near delta
#

At least it's not a escort any higher than 1. That mission type in haz5+ is cancer

mild sluice

It also has crit weakness so it should be pretty simple

near delta
#

Thumbs clip into M1 nice

radiant granite
#

I enjoyed the last escort but I also didn't have any pathfinding issues

near delta
#

The biggets problem with escort(besides the obscene about of time it takes) is the rock throwing stage scaling speed with hazard level. That's just stupid. If the gunner misses even one rock, there goes 1 3rd of the dozers health instantly and if you ty to repair it, the next one will out right kill you. And while all of that is going on a full size wave is bearing down on you.

This EDD is nothing

compare to the one last week and the one before last week's

it's like

if you ever got through previous EDD in this month

It’s always the second stage, I tell you

lone summit
#

@near delta The scout should be able to two shot most of the flying rocks with a boom stick or m1k. It can't all be on the gunner if you fail that part.

radiant granite
#

yea, rocks are everyone's problem

#

and there's not normally a huge amount of bugs at the same time. might wanna pop freeze nades or shields, but haz 5+ rocks are manageable

And it just EXPLODES.

Did doretta run over a bulk?

median siren
#

2 weeks ago I think, 2 or 3, doretta ran over a bet-c

visual lake
#

magic bullet + explosive + neuro is ridiculous on gunner

#

does more dmg than AC lol

#

effectively due to the magic bullet tele

plush ravine
#

can't one shot web spitter tho

visual lake
#

with neuro it basically does tho

plush ravine
#

You gotta be blessed by RNGesus to trigger the neuro tho

visual lake
#

yeah but on h5 when theres like 6 spitters 2-3 rounds will kill them all when it procs

#

plus you can aim in the general direction when vis is bad

plush ravine
#

True

visual lake
#

like you dont really even need to aim

plush ravine
#

That's literally the original purpose of magic bullet

visual lake
#

i think the only reason why its so much better than the other magic bullets is cus of explosive and neuro tho

plush ravine
#

yea, no body really using it without neuro and exlposive

#

Finally unlock every gear mod just now

olive cliff
#

Here's the thing:
Dotty didn't run into anything. Drilled through a wall as usual, then the threads started to fly around like thrusters in G-mod.

vast valve
#

started edd and realized our gunner was running the autocannon mod that makes some of the rounds poison and the scout was prioritizing gold 🙄

kind bough
#

neuro AC is alright on drilldozer, the mass slow is handy

#

and sometimes that's all you got

#

gold mining on EDD is omegabrain though

visual lake
#

@kind bough i find revolver neuro works better than AC neuro ... initially i really liked AC alot but more recently shifting back towards leadstorm + revolver neuro

kind bough
#

to clarify, it's not great

#

it just has its moments

#

and not everyone has CARPET BONGER

feral oasis
#

Neurotoxin is an alright substitute if you don’t have Carpet Bomber, I personally like neuro since mass slow is generally ok and you’re damage is always there since the bugs that do survive are usually low hp

thorny geyser
#

Now im just gonna say that neurotoxin got me through ez with the last week's EDD

#

toxic love

vast valve
#

no downs at all, gg

visual lake
#

the main problem with neuro is that you are basically waving around a paper towel on escort rock phase and vs dreadss

civic ledge
#

If you have a team, that shouldn’t be an issue, and it’s probably slightly better than running crispr driller

vast valve
#

ive learned to truly detest double-refuel escort in edds, jesus

#

35-40 minutes for ONE mission is stupid, sorry

hazy comet
#

used to be reasonable on its first iteration where breaking the chunks and sucking them up instantly refueled a canister

radiant granite
#

last EDD I just used a vanilla autocannon

#

np

ionic wave
#

Escort is least like compared to other mission

#

Especially a bulk spawn few meters ahead and on a headlong collision with a bulldozer. Sigh there goes one plate of health gone. Effort defending and repairing all for nothing.

keen pond
#

if you throw a shield the bulk will turn, plus if you have a cryo cannon really easy to kill it without explosion

#

only problem when it is spawning "inside" the dozer

visual lake
#

@keen pond you are assuming only 1 spawned

thorny geyser
#

yeah this EDD felt like an ez breeze, now i miss last week's one

keen pond
#

@visual lake it doesn't change anything if more spawn, except if they spawn at the same time and not close to eachother

#

3 spawned on doretta mission when i played this week edd, and we didnt lose any plates

heavy oriole
#

@visual lake Most nuero AC builds I recommend lead spray BRT. It is hand down one of the fastest anti dread builds I’ve used for gunner.

tame valley
#

Just started, which upgrades for pickaxe are the most popular?

knotty rampart
#

well, it depends

#

the pickaxe is pretty versatile

#

all the upgrades are good, some better than others on different builds

#

for example, i like running the AoE mod so it can help with swarmers on scout, since scout has a hard time with them

tame valley
#

What about for gunner?

echo edge
#

Go with cooldown early until you know when to use power attacks properly

sudden mortar
#

On gunner I use the increased power attack damage to use it in conjunction with my revolver against oppressors and other biggies

#

3 bullets (elephant) and a power attack is enough to almost kill an oppressor

ancient beacon
#

this week's EDD is damn good quality

#

massive spawns

#

multiple people clutching one after another to survive ridicilous waves

#

you kill one bulk and another one comes out

#

after wiping on second stage in two different lobbies due to like, 5 bulks

#

our last attempt had no bulks at all in second stage

#

i knew there would be bulks, i was ready for them, and they never came

#

such suspense

ruby pine

Hey, can someone set me up with some good loadouts to Solo Deep dives? Maybe some pointers as well? I am not finding much on Reddit or youtube on Loadouts.

vale falcon
#

try this

ruby pine
#

Oh hell yes. So the loadouts will change weekly to help with the new deep dive

#

@vale falcon seems i also need more overclocks.

vale falcon
#

nah it doesnt change weekly, the top voted loadouts are ones that can easily do haz5, you dont even need overclocks for haz5

manic sedge
#

@feral atlas what driller build did you use for that run?

feral atlas
#

A bad one

#

EDD was pretty easy and I honestly didn't really care, so I just took some sticky flame OC build and a mining EPC with axes

#

if I was really trying, would have taking a more direct damage builds + subata

manic sedge
#

nice. just failed it cause an engi killed himself and 2 others with prox mines on the second mission.

#

I'm using cryo cannon cause it's all I have for OCs

feral atlas
#

my direct damage flame and subata builds are basically almost stock loadouts

#

they don't depend on OCs

#

game sense and weapon mod choices always matter more

manic sedge
#

you just let the sticky do the heavy lifting and supplement the damage with the subata?

feral atlas
#

to be clear, if I genuinely want to win an EDD, I usually take gunner or engi

#

but for driller it's just a direct damage flamer with sticky slow for mediums or trash mobs

#

automatic subata for flyers, spitters, and anything the flamer is too wasteful on

#

and axes for the same reason I run subata

manic sedge
#

ok, cool. thanks for the info

feral atlas
#

an autocannon gunner with a pistol tends to be the same, but getter when it come to combat

#

because the autocannon has range, while the flamer has relatively limited reach

wicked cloud
#

is there a timer for passives with cooldown?

vale falcon
#

Nope there’s only a red bar that goes down above the icon

slate zephyr
#

Quick question - Does DD/EDD scale with lobby size or is it fixed?

vale falcon
#

Every mission scale with lobby size

#

4 dwarfs = stronger bugs

vast valve
#

larger lobby size increase both the bugs' health and their numbers

frank ferry

Ive never done an EDD, is there anything I should know before joining one/ etiquette I should follow?

the edd was a walk in the park compared to last week, the amount of qronars was nasty though

#

felt like a bowling pin at times

#

we made a bunker and fired down the hole for the egg missions
very effective
the only worry was bulks or oppressors
so we made an exit hole
i might try to use this strategy more often

How do you deal with the bulk detonator that comes in this elite deep dive after the drill runs out of gas the second time. Mine just came out of a wall walked 10 feet right at the dozer.

I played driller so I could freeze him For like 1 second. You’d have to time the freeze and kill perfectly to make him not explode. And that’s hard to do when he’s just aggro in the dozer and will aoe stomp at any second.

I guess the other option is to play back from the dozer and see the bulk where it spawns abs hopefully pull it away from dozer. I’m not sure how the aggro table works.

feral oasis
#

Bulks will never target the dozer, so if it spawns on the dozer everyone should get away from it so when it does die the explosion won’t damage the dozer

Hi, just wanted to ask if anyone has had the issue of your mouse going off DRG in windowed mode? Keeps happening for me and it's really annoying. And I'd rather not play full screen.

#

hey guys, how to deal with detonators on the first stage of edd?

viral tulip
#

Lead 'em away from dottie

misty scaffold
#

every time when doretta is on the third stage of the core a detonator appear and we lose

viral tulip
#

Shoot 'em with your guns

misty scaffold
#

when we lead him away doretta takes too much damage

clever inlet
#

Wow I'm frustrated, that first EDD stage isn't even hard but that bulk

#

First I played with 4 ppl team and 3 died of it, second I played in two, one person dies from it and that's just over, can't save it

#

Damn hedgehog day when having to replay an easy mission again and again because of just that and ofc it is escort that we all love to death

warm notch
#

Gunner shields are good

#

w/ critical weakness, anything with high dps should be melting bulks

azure spoke
# misty scaffold when we lead him away doretta takes too much damage

You probably don't mean all four of you led the bulk away from the dozer, but if you did: don't. Only one or two should lead it away and at least one should continue focusing the other bugs. and as has been mentioned, gunner's shields, timed and aimed well, can make the difference. The bulks can be tricky, but they can also be taken down fairly easily with experience and coordination. Good luck!

#

This week edd make me hate salt pit more than magma core

salt pit, no environment hazard, should be easy
nope, here's 70 rollers, have fun playing pinballs

#

Doesn't help that first stage is 2 stop escort, so I gotta shave away 30-40 minutes instead of the usual 20 for every retry

delicate dagger
#

funnily enough because I had a pretty explosive team with fatboys and c4 all the polys ended up in craters

#

like shooting fish in a barrel

toxic sapphire
#

O yea about that
Our gunner was suppose to be the pinball killer but he got leeched and died in the middle of the pinball pit
We wiped after

#

I could be the gunner instead, but during the third time I retry, the engie ran off somewhere in the first stage, ignoring the cave leech cluster and died like a leaf lover

#

We tried to rescue him but that just lead to a wipe 5 minutes in

#

I'm not looking to retry it the 4th time so this edd got an L from me

delicate dagger
#

the trick is to always keep the scout and gunner alive

#

gunner has cheese shields

#

and scout has kite

vale falcon
#

yeah but the trick was that the gunner is the one who died

kind bough
#

scout will probably stay alive anyway since he has supreme escape potential

#

unless he gets leeched

#

or he's playing drilldozer

#

imagine being able to kite

toxic sapphire
#

I was scout the first time actually
Kited like I just ate 10 bars of red sugar

#

Until the defense part where we wiped, because the engie didn't bother set up turret for some reason

#

Huh, 2 game botched because of idiot engineer

#

Either way this week edd make me want to drink blackout stout

delicate dagger
#

compared the last week's it's not really that bad with a proper team

#

with proper wave debuffing on all members it becomes a sinch

viral tulip
#

We had a greenbeard Gunner trying to speed run the whole thing when I did it

delicate dagger
#

I think I ran stubby, driller ran cryo, and scout had cryo grenades with cryo mines

viral tulip
#

Ran off solo to pop all the eggs without stopping lol

#

Triggered the uplink in the middle of a mini swarm while everyone was low on ammo too

delicate dagger
#

whenever someone speedruns egg missions it gives me anxiety

#

barely pushing 80 nitra and we already got a double swarm warning

viral tulip
#

I'm normally fine with it but in the last stage of an EDD we had already almost wiped a few times on

#

It's not really what I'm hoping for

#

And I was really hoping to not have to try the EDD a second time

delicate dagger
#

I don't think it is worth getting sweaty for a cosmetic matrix core in the 3rd EDD stage, so if I make it past the first 2 I consider the EDD a success

viral tulip
#

Agreed, but it's nice to get

delicate dagger
#

it really all depends on the modifiers and the missions, if it is something like low 02 / shield disruptions / lethal enemies

We were on the final phase of stage 2 in the EDD and failed last night

# wraith shard are there any youtubers that kind of guide you in the right direction on what up...

Usteppin is a good youtuber that does solo EDDs from time to time.

For weapons, there aren't that many must have upgrades or overclocks, it is really up to personal preference. You generally want to get hollow point bullets for most weapons and avoid armor pen. Fat boy is very strong. It has the best scaling in the game in higher haz like EDDs, since you start running into extremely large and dense swarms. Return to sender for the breach cutter is the best option vs dreads. Carpet bomber is your bread and butter for gunner, neurotoxin is a viable alternative. Burst gun with lead spray is also very strong, and you really need the fire rate upgrade for it, both hollow points and extra ammo are good so go with what you feel is better. I don't recommend running revolver as the ammo economy for it is very bad, but if you like it then go for six shooter. You want sticky flame slowdown for the flamer pretty much always. Imbedded detonators for the subata is extremely strong for driller if you aren't running EPC mining. Detonators are also really strong for the dual smgs for scout, as well as cryo minelets. Not a fan of the M1K and I recommend using the GK2 over it. The M1K has much higher DPS but it has poor ammo economy as you will overkill smaller enemies, and you need to have good aim because it doesn't do shit against armor. GK2 with AI stability does the M1K's job but better. Bullets of mercy is strong if you have a good team that applies a lot of status effects. Special powder for the double barrel gives a lot of utility.

wraith shard
#

thank you @pliant girder !

toxic sapphire
#

I'd also recommend Big Bertha OC for autocannon

#

Give you that nice edge for single target dps while still viable against horde

#

And I don't recommend neurotoxin for autocannon
You lose too much dps, and for a gunner that's a deal breaker

plush ravine
#

Speaking of Usteppin

#

Although he is a god tier player (I suppose)

#

His build is not really statistically optimized

#

I mean he optimized his build for himself, not number wise

#

Still can be a very good example cause his builds have some very good handling

stable pagoda
#

😦

#

Neurotoxin for AC is the best and most efficient OC you can get. It's also the least fun OC you can get. Grunts, webspinners and below will all die provided you hit them at least 'once'. Slashers need to be hit 2-3 times, and guards once down to about half hp will die after that. No bugs in the game resist neurotoxin so it will always do around 120 damage once it's finished its ticks.

#

You need to be able to kite, so if you're in an enclosed area, neurotoxin will get you killed.

#

Neurotoxin ticks for 12 damage every second for 10 seconds. It has a 30% slow (which is incredible on haz5).

#

You can spray 20-30 bullets into a hoard of enemies and they'll nearly all die.

#

No other gun is more efficient than that

#

M1K on scout -- the only reason to use this weapon is for hoverclock. Otherwise GK2. Hoverclock lets the scout fly anywhere on any map and take 0 damage if you time it right.

#

To me, that kind of mobility makes up for any kind of positive the GK2 offers

#

Revolver on gunner -- Remember that this offers the utility of shooting down sugar from ceilings

#

I've never had problems with ammo economy. If you are, you've found either a nitra-less map or you're spamming too much without killing anything

#

that's pretty much with any build

toxic sapphire
#

I'd rather shoot bug and have them die immediately than shoot and wait 10 seconds

split bison
#

So what exactly is a Deep Dive? Been playing the game for a few days now with two buds of mine and none of us have promoted or anything, can someone explain what all this optimisation is for lmao

warm notch
#

Elite deep dives is the reason for all this optimising

#

Basically running 3, hazard 5 missions without failing.

viral tulip
#

That's the elite deep dive

#

Regular deep dive is same idea but 3-3.5

#

Also they have a second primary objective instead of a secondary, so you might have to get 7 aquarqs and two eggs, or do an escort mission where you have to repair two mini mules

split bison
#

Sounds fun

#

If it requires heaps of prep we probably won't be running them much, DRG is a game for chilling not sweating for us lol

warm notch
#

Regular deep dives are very calm

split bison
#

Depends on which missions

#

Haz3 escorts or on-site refinements always fail for us, everything else is just fine

wintry geode
#

have u got the dwarfs over lv18? since that unlock every tier of mods on every equipments

#

also after promotion u will get a mission to unlock overclock, which grants you more firepower or choices on weapon

#

after which regular dd is just chill game(although sometimes it will be tense moments, i.e. haunted cave refinery/maectera pleague/shield disruption black box

split bison
#

We're all about lvl 15/16 atm

#

I play driller, the other two are a gunner and a scout

#

We all have our secondary primary weapon unlocked

#

Is Overclock a universal buff that all weapons get, or is it specific to each one?

fair birch
#

They're specific bonuses and tradeoffs to particular weapons that change the way they work.

#

Ah alright

From a general standpoint, bunkers are a good way to get killed...

bunkers give you cooties

It was my first time doing a bunker so I was like, wow this is genius

sudden mortar
#

IIRC bunkering actually makes detonators and oppressors spaw

honest spindle
#

If that is true, then now I know and learned the hard way

#

Cause the detonator actually spawned right on top of our bunker and broke through the dirt when it did spawn

sudden mortar
#

gotta be super fast with the gunner shield to push it away

#

in that case

#

if there's even somewhere for it to move

heavy oriole

Yah, bunkering is a way to make Grade F terrain, grade D boring terrain. Or grade A B C down to grade D.

Bunkering is a noob trap. Never do it.

#

Use platforms to cover you if you're against mactera plague but that's it.

cursive stag
#

ehhhhh disagree

#

definitely easier to handle a swarm while bunkered, though almost impossible to recover if you get overrun

#

though can be mitigated by digging escape tunnels before that are sealed

#

in general they're not needed

#

but I wouldnt call them traps

I love when the game decides I just simply don't get to win this time

#

And spawns a bulk detonator in salvage

#

And I wasted an hour of my life on a run I had no chance to win

#

And to try again I have to go through an escort

#

Great game guys, this is why I haven't finished an EDD since U32

#

There's difficult and then there's unwinnable

#

It literally spawned directly on top of me and the refueling zone just became an instakill zone, what am I supposed to do

#

Simply be gunner? Am I only supposed to attempt EDDs as the class that has the shield?

waxen imp
#

Did you have a full group or did you solo it? I failed my first 2 tries at this EDD, but got it on the 3rd with a group.

slate mulch
#

I was playing it solo

#

I didn't have any problems soloing the EDD until Update 32

#

And ever since the update it feels like every time I just put into some ridiculous unwinnable situation

#

Usually to do with Escort, but this time with Salvage

waxen imp
#

Ah, I tried it solo as well. I got to stage 2 and got overwhelmed, lol.

slate mulch
#

I didn't have any problems until the game just decided to spawn a bulk detonator on top of me!

#

But I don't want to do it again that's for sure because Escort takes 40 minutes on its own

#

😪

waxen imp
#

Are you running with bosco, if so, what do you have him set up like?

fair birch
slate mulch
#

I don't think Bosco's build would have made a difference about a bulk detonator spawning on top of me during refueling

waxen imp
#

The EDD's are set to haz 5 right? Maybe take extra rez? I usually take an extra revive, cryo bomb, and electro bullets for bosco.

slate mulch
#

That's the build I had. The detonator killed me 3 times

#

Even as I tried to drill away with the fuel cells

#

The problem isn't the difficulty

#

I can handle salvage haz 5 and escort haz 5

#

I guess I could play the EDD again and just hope I don't get screwed this time

#

But then I have to sit through 40 minutes of an escort mission, half asleep the whole time

#

It just doesn't feel worth it, you know?

fair birch
#

try bringing crit weapons since it's critical weakness, you can take out those bulks very quickly.

slate mulch
#

Yes, it's a crit weakness escort mission. It's literally so easy. But it takes 40 minutes because you can't speed up the dozer.

I just want to succeed in stage 2

slate mulch
#

There's difficult (magma core with shield disruption or mactera plague)

#

And there's boring with a random chance of being unwinnable (salt pits salvage with a bulk detonator spawn)

#

It wouldn't have even been a problem if the detonator had spawned far away

#

I could have shot it and slowed it down with Bosco's electric bullets

#

But no it spawned ON the fuel cells and immediately started instakilling me

#

I mean I had 3 detonators spawn in the escort mission and that wasn't a problem in the slightest thanks to crit weakness lol

feral oasis
#

the 2nd stage for this week's EDD is the hardest out of the 3

slate mulch
#

Yeah no contest

#

It's really just one big room which is interesting

#

A good time to be a scout... Right up until the uplink

#

In solo you can just stand near the entrance and send bosco to kill the breeders and spitballers and grab the eggs while you hold

#

EDD2 for me had a ridiculous number of bulks we had 5 on my run along with a twin spawn during uplink and 1 during fuel and another during final wait time

Wasn’t much left of the room after

#

Dozer and shield disrupt 😭

tight heron
#

My team of randos were exceptional so it felt like haz 3 for me

warm notch
#

Yeah when everyone does well, Haz 5 goes down to 3

foggy ridge
#

@tight heron i've had that happen before if you don't restart your game after dd/edd resets at 4am pst

#

and you complete the previous week's dds

silver summit
#

Escort and shield disruption? That doesn't sound too fun

plucky gate
silver summit
#

I'm always down for a challenge :)

#

Region seems good, crystalline caverns is my favorite

potent charm
#

theres a betc along the escort route 🙂 good luck

silver summit
#

Man. Bet-c always seems to be more of a nuisance than a good thing

#

Pretty good for saving ammo though

plush ravine
#

where is the DD minimule leg

#

My god this one is more annoying than the EDD

mild salmon
#

the same thing happens every week

#

i look at the dd and edd and i go "well thats gonna be a pain in my arse"

plush ravine
#

Found the minimule 1/3 legs now

#

My god

#

The legs do not even appear in the scanner

mild salmon
#

ah perfect sounds fun

wraith shard
#

anyone online for the EDD rn?

plush ravine
#

I don't get it, why is either DD or EDD bugs

viral tulip
#

Ugh more deep dive escorts?

bitter spire
civic ledge
#

Oh no! I missed the Deep Dive 😦

open ledge
#

Are deep dives difficult? I’ve never done one

civic ledge
#

regular ones aren't if you can play haz 4

#

elite deep dives are the hardest thing the game has to offer

open ledge
#

And haz 5?

tight heron
#

I'm bloody cursed now

#

Bugged EDD went so smooth

#

2nd attempt I get DCed and can't rejoin

#

3rd time some decides to go back and aggro betc and kills the dozer

plush ravine
#

I will say they are not difficult

#

They are just 3 haz 3 mission or 3 haz 5 mission back to back

#

The point is that either 1 of them will be cursed by bug for some unknown reason

viral tulip
#

and apparently you're guaranteed at least one drilldozer mission these days

wraith shard
#

does anybody know where the second mini mule is

#

i cant find it after 10 minutes of searching

#

in the second stage btw

#

nvm i found it

#

weird ass spot

plush ravine
#

I spent like

#

20 mins at least

#

finding all those minimules and legs

visual lake
#

Is this weeks EDD3 as bad as it looks ?

foggy ridge
#

will drilling forward in EDD3 to take care of bet-c prolly bug the drilldozer?

flat dirge
#

drilling to the chambers before the drilldozer won't bug it from my experience

viral tulip
#

It seems to make bugs more likely, but still not guaranteed

flat dirge
#

cleared half of the cave whit the lads like that

vast valve
#

genuinely wish escort missions did not happen for deep dives. they’re not fun at all

#

and sooooo buggy

flat dirge
#

who's to say what's fun and what isn't?

viral tulip
#

Has there been a week without since they launched?

vast valve
#

nope :)

viral tulip
#

That's what I thought

#

Sure would like some time off

#

They're just so long

foggy ridge
#

i've had dotty drill back all the way to the start twice a couple edds ago so i wasnt sure

flat dirge
#

hope ya lads have been reporting said bugs, every report helps them be closer to having stable drilldozer pathfinding

#

or to be exact path generation

wraith shard
#

This week's EDD is surprisingly way easier to accomplish compared to the previous ones.

cinder glen
#

Does anyone have a terrain map for the EDD?

wraith shard
#

once agasin

#

4 gunner

#

crush it

#

annihilated

knotty elm
#

sooo where are the legs for my second mini mule... i only saw two and i drilled up to the ceiling and looked everywhere

turbid kestrel
#

it's in the ommoran floor

#

for some reason

knotty elm
#

which cant be mined gotcha

turbid kestrel
#

it can, but it will take a while

knotty elm
#

and not knowing where it is in the floor...

turbid kestrel
knotty elm
#

ill just keep doing it until i get 3 above ground xD

hazy comet
#

i think they always spawn in the same spots

#

so you're s.o.l.

toxic sapphire
#

Edd stage 3 has betc 👀 💦

#

Good thing Doretta can kill Betc quick, if lured to her drill

silver summit
#

oh my god. we found the mule in the floor but where are the legs lmao

toxic sapphire
#

Also in the floor

#

Gotta keep digging

silver summit
#

welp

#

I wish c4 and drills did more to clear the floor though

#

okay we found em

#

that is some wack spawns lmao

tight heron
silver summit
#

we just avoided BET and it was smooth sailing

tight heron
#

Yeah

#

Drilling ahead more often than not feels like a time waste imo

quartz badge
#

Can anyone tell in which cave Bet-C spawns? Would be very cool too if anyone could make a screenshot of the "hidden" mule position

toxic sapphire
#

Betc's between the second stop and the heartstone

quartz badge
#

Thanks a lot, much appreciated!

toxic sapphire
#

As for the hidden mule, I already did the DD so rip

quartz badge
#

NP, if nobody is quicker, i will post one later

toxic sapphire
#

But it's on the left side of the bedrock

misty scaffold
#

isn't drilldozer mission being overused on deep dives?

quartz badge
#

That helps, thx again 🙂

quartz badge
silver summit
#

Idk if this will help anyone but once you find the mini mule after the beeps, there are 2 legs that are at the midpoint between where you found the mule and the hearthstone

misty scaffold
#

I actually really like that mission, It's just that it's on every deep dive and every assignment I get

#

so it gets boring

toxic sapphire
#

Especially last week EDD
Every retry mean I gotta spend 30-40 minutes to do it

misty scaffold
#

and it's usually the mission that drags the most

#

Yeah, and the initial portion of it is super easy

toxic sapphire
#

And I had to retry 5 time due to bs bulk spawn in the second stage

quartz badge
#

I think the duration is the problem, since the DD's themselves are long anyway

misty scaffold
#

yeah, limiting it to one refuel would make it a lot more enjoyable

quartz badge
#

Very good idea imo 🙂

smoky hinge
#

couldn't find the legs on second stage of deep dive after 20 minutes of looking

#

Tried drilling under the floor of heart stone but couldn't find them

fringe kettle
#

how many total people on your team?

smoky hinge
#

1 other person, I was driller he was scout

#

1 mule was in refuel room the other was behind baretta in the heartstone room

opal pine
#

escort duty as 3rd stage on elite? reeeeeeeeee!

toxic sapphire
#

It's inside the bedrock, not under it

#

Particularly the left side

silver summit
#

tbh I thought they fixed mule spawn locations

#

I thought it was always above ground in some way

viral tulip
#

That fix doesn't seem to take the ommoran platform into account

wraith shard
#

Anybody found the Missing Leg in the second Stage of the deep Dive. Im at the Heartstone and cant find the Last leg

#

If you have found IT could you be more specific where IT is. Please, im searching since 30 minutes

tall radish
#

We found the leg in the crystal bit below the heartstone

#

toward the entrance of the dover

#

a little to the left of the dozer (when facing from the abck of dozer, its left)

#

a little being myabe 15m

nocturne heart
#

Directly to the left

#

?

#

Or the front and left

tardy pier
#

You can dig UNDER the hearthstone redstone and call a resupply

#

it digs straight through

#

(obviously undder the minimule)

nocturne heart
#

We have dug out a lot of the redstone

#

Can still not find it

tardy pier
#

mom

#

I give you a pic

#

@nocturne heart

#

its under the platform IÄm standing on

#

you can find it just by listening

nocturne heart
#

Can you take a pic with the broader view?

#

I see few references other than the core

tardy pier
#

just follow your ear.
It's under the left platform

#

exactly in the middle of the red rock

#

once you dug in a few hits you see the green reflection in the stone

slender acorn
#

do you also know where the legs are?

#

we've been searching for 40 minutes now

#

help

tardy pier
#

yeah on the corner of molly

#

where the sand hits the red stone

#

they stick out

#

2 next to each other or even 3

nocturne heart
#

We are looking for the third öeg

#

Lwg

#

Leg

tardy pier
#

theres four, you'll find it

slender acorn
#

it's right next to the mule

#

jesus

tardy pier
#

we did not have to dig much tbh

#

can't you see them on the minimap?

slender acorn
#

we dug up like half the map

tardy pier
#

I actually didnt check myself

wraith shard
#

Theres nothing. WE searched there. Also the rooms Looks different we're in

tardy pier
#

deep dives are the same for everyone

wraith shard
#

Im Standing next to the drilldozer... And Our room Looks different.

tardy pier
#

I think it MAY be the drilldozer can come to different locations

#

but the map layout is the same

nocturne heart
#

We have searched for 1 hour now

tardy pier
#

cant you hear it beeping?

nocturne heart
#

We cannot find the 4th leg for the last mule

#

Not the mule

#

The lwg

#

Leg

tardy pier
#

mules need only 3 legs

#

wait

nocturne heart
#

Well we have 3 attacjed

#

We found 2 loose

#

1 leg is always attached

#

The 3rd leg to find (4th in total) is missing

tardy pier
#

40 minutes

slender acorn
#

the last leg is right next to the mule itself

tardy pier
#

40:00 minutes the devs start finding legs and mules

slender acorn
#

just blast it to hell

nocturne heart
#

That is a completely different room

#

We don't have any stone pillars

tardy pier
#

they spawn later

#

is this your first DD?

nocturne heart
#

2nd

tardy pier
#

do the hearthstone first, then the minimules

nocturne heart
#

We have

tardy pier
#

anyways, the map is the same for everyone

mild kindle
#

2 in a row, same thing happened to me, only 2 legs for mule on 2 second mission of deep dives

tardy pier
#

Mule is in a tunnel we dug just below the platform on the left.
Legs are 'behind' molly where the red stone hits the sand at the cliff

#

and one leg I think was with the mule itself

#

and theres one leg over, can't remember

wraith shard
#

Im in the deepdive with sebbe, WE both are in a different room from the Video, WE digged everywhere and there were Just 2 legs. Not 3 Not 4. Im Level 442 so i Know what im talking about. The deepdive is bugged, IT Just didnt Spawn enough legs.

tardy pier
#

huh, I just finished the deepdive

nocturne heart
#

Can I send a picture somewhere?

#

To yoy

tardy pier
#

then you have to copy the link here

mild kindle
#

2 legs were in the sand thats it, between the mule and the entrance to the cave.

tardy pier
#

I didn't pay attention that much as we found it within 5 minutes

#

made the screenshots after for you guys

#

only thing I know is we heard the mule beeping inside, I dug under the red stone and called a resupply through it all so we didn't have to mine and even hit the damn minimule with it so it came down. We had 2 legs already which were stickign out at the sand / red stone boarder

#

I think it was three actually

quartz badge
#

another perspective of the mule position

tardy pier
#

and the legs are to the bottom middle - bottom right where the red stone touches the sand

wraith shard
#

Like i already Said, the room is different in Our deepdive, If you believe IT or Not. WE dont have a Big space on the left Side of the drilldozer. Theres Just a Wall going straight Up. WE digged under the drilldozer, under the mule, under the Heartstone, the map already Looks Like Swiss cheese. There is No legs to be found.

tardy pier
#

if you have a different map as devs and us, you're doing the wrong deep dives. deep dive seeds are the same for every player each week. Feel free to press ESC and post the map seed (number to the bottom left)

wraith shard
#

Im on xbox

tardy pier
#

aaaaaah okay

#

can't help you there

#

I'm not certain but I think MS / Xbox version have different seeds?

#

(as steam does)

waxen parrot
#

Quick question, anyone ever had the mini mule mission on a deep dive where the mini mules are spawned inside the omeron heartstone ?

tardy pier
waxen parrot
#

ohhh great

waxen parrot
#

seem to be missing the last leg

tardy pier
#

there should be one with the mule itself

#

they were right next to each other, we had no trouble finding them

#

we did dig the minimule all the way down to normal terrain

waxen parrot
#

aaah ok, i'll try that

tardy pier
#

(I used a resupply from below which removed all the terrain through it)

waxen parrot
#

got it finally! thx

tardy pier
#

where was it?

waxen parrot
#

was below indeed

tardy pier
#

ah! neat

tardy pier
strange chasm
#

no legs for me either. on xbox and my room was different from the stream

#

had to abort

#

walked back through the whole mission. Weren't any extras from the last mule either

sudden rivet
#

I got lucky, I could see the bubles of all of the legs on the outside of the mound/obsidian stuff.

#

used sound to get to the mini mule
