#

either way, I completed the deep dive.

simple pilot
#

what is this bullshit honestly

#

also, to clarify. there should be two legs next to the sand wall and one on top of the red area nearby

#

sorry i suck at describing things

gentle hearth
#

I dug down but it was 50m away from the mini mule for me

#

anywho, i did my first solo (and second in general) deep dive today

#

toiok me 2 hours due to the minimule bug

simple pilot
#

i lost my deep dive because a trawler put me inside the morkite refinery platform

#

I GOT OUT
IT GRABBED ME HOLY SHIT

#

NO REVIVES LEFT

#

AHHHHHHHH

#

Good luck

In DD rn any advice on the leg?

#

The elite deep dive sucks

simple pilot
#

dd

#

the legs are all nearby

#

i shoulda turned on shadow play but i am retard

#

all legs are aboveground

#

this deep dive has been such a shitshow

wraith shard
#

Actually hmm is the Xbox seed different?

#

None of the footage from the dev stream looks 100%

worldly kayak
#

Has anyone on Xbox been able to complete Stage 2 of the Deep Dive? Will greatly appreciate any directions in finding the third leg of the second Mule - it seems to be entirely nonexistent.

wraith shard
#

yeah I just tried it twice and no avail

worldly kayak
#

Three times here!

#

Rather depressing.

wraith shard
#

sure is

worldly kayak
#

I essentially dug out the entirety of the ground underneath the Ommoran Bed, but alas, nothing was there. Hopefully a patch will be implemented swiftly.

wraith shard
#

yeah honestly

#

would be fine if there was a 3rd leg

wraith shard
#

Everybody listen, on the Xbox Version of DRG you cant Finish the second Stage of the deepdive cause there arent enough legs for the Mini mule. Its different from the PC Stage.
We drilled away Most of the Heartstone room, two Times with different classes and different Players as Hosts. Its Not possible. So dont waste your time and dont try it till it got fixed.

#

figured as much

vale falcon
#

invisible even from the scanner?

wraith shard
#

@vale falcon you think 20 people didnt try anything to find them? They are Not spawned on the map, they dont exist.

vale falcon
#

I mean its a possibility

wraith shard
#

@vale falcon No its Not. They dont exist. Just try it, If youre the one who find's them, good for you. Anyone Else didnt find them.

vale falcon
#

brrrr, so hostile

wraith shard
#

You should scroll Up and read the comments before suggesting Something that has been suggested before and already proofen not to Work.

vale falcon
#

You are expecting me to do effort, puhuhuhu

swift remnant
#

I dug below the whole thing and found nothing(xbox)

#

No leg

vale raptor
#

Is it just me or was there a dotty mission in every single deep dive ever since the update came out?

viral tulip
#

not just you

wraith shard
#

@swift remnant its their

#

its not underneath

#

listen for the bing bing of the mule then dig either strait down or from an angle

worldly kayak
#

It’s been established that the third leg of the Mule for those playing on Xbox does not exist.

celest sluice
#

Can confirm. Xbox does not have a completable deep dive

rotund wagon
#

Alright so i couldnt find the second mini mule, managed to find it after a some digging

#

is there a way to post pictures here?

#

Posted on bug-discussion

should be able to drag and drop, but everyone knows about the mini mule thing

#

Where's the last leg in the deep dive?

#

Found two buried, but the last one is uh..

#

hm..

yeah, everyone's been having that issue

limber egret

found it

#

just dig around the edge if yer on the PC

lol nice trap on EDD's 3rd stage with the trap egg and betc

they all are there

It would be fine if that crystal matter was diggable with drills and c4

#

The last EDD stage is only possible when you pre-dig all of the rooms. Otherwise, you're in for one hell of a game...

tame verge
#

it's fine just drill to Bet-C and that's the only real issue with the last stage

simple bough
#

Last mission was quite a troll yeah

#

I'm getting really sick of dozer missions

#

especially because they're max length and thus two refuels

viral tulip
#

If I don't clear this week first try I'm probably not going to bother with stage 3

#

I don't mind standalone escort but I'm real over doing them in the EDD

dawn sonnet
#

My major issue with them is that they are still buggy as hell

#

Huds not refreshing, people getting stuck in them, hearthstone overgenerates on original terrain, pathing bug, invisible rocks rarely on stage 2

#

And on top of that they are no doubt the hardest missions rn

dusky fjord
#

@gentle hearth Steam or Xbox/Win 10 where you found the mini mule leg?

gentle hearth
#

Steam @dusky fjord

#

It was weird cause it was grabbable the moment i opened the rock above it

eager mason
#

I might finally swap my save from gamepass to steam over this deep dive bug 😦

timber drum
#

just finished the deep dive early because the escape pod came before the counter finished!

wraith shard
#

Just did Stage 3 of EDD again, no BETC this time.

heavy oriole
#

That’s weird, I thought BET C is seed constant?

odd comet
#

It's based on player count, like every other map spawn

little cove
#

That counter is how long you have left to get to the pod before it leaves without you.

#

Where’s the last mule leg on the deep dive?

fringe kettle

#

And that’s both deep dives done

#

Is Steam version bugged this week too?

#

our fuel can disapeared on the last leg :/

#

Thats fucking great, run was going so smooth too

round mica
#

We’re trying to find the last mule leg on stage 2 of the DD literally dug up the entire crust couldn’t find it where tf is it

dark gulch
#

Doesn't exist

round mica
#

Just checked em when’s that hotfix

#

Coming

dark gulch
#

#

Damn that sucks I wonder how that happens

queen warren
#

if i get kicked for "not helping" 2 missions into a deep dive, when i have most kills most mining by a mile no deaths, is there a way to report? i get its supposed to be a fun game but thats kinda toxic to waste my time

next pebble
#

No, there is no report system

queen warren
#

just have to host every deep dive to ensure not trolling no host leaving i guess oh well

When your team successfully finished the EDD

#

This week's EDD was a good one btw. Even doretta + no shields were ok

short charm
#

Took us about 5 attempts to finish this EDD. Altho the teams changed 3 times because people either left because of the long wait between rounds or because of the failed mission. Didn't help that me and a friend of mine drank a fair bit of alcohol throughout the Deep Dive. A bit of a guilty pleasure, that one. 😛

#

And on a random note, got kicked from a previous game for the first time in several hundred hours because the host got seriously angry when he found out someone took two resupplies from a pod, one by one the people on the server were kicked. I didn't take two, don't know who did, but we still had 320 nitra so who gives a fuck, really? I've had that happen to me a million times before in games, I come back to a pod only to find it's empty and I'm low on ammo. As Scout, that's not great. But it has never led to a mission failure either, I just call down another and take two.

little cove
nocturne dust
#

I would kick on the spot the guy who takes two resupplies without asking in a perfectly peaceful setting

little cove
#

I'd probably shoot you and leave

nocturne dust
#

I think people like that are just not good players in general anyway

#

and also not nice

little cove
#

Unless the nitra is low, sure kicking is fine

#

Otherwise, just call another one

nocturne dust
#

the typical situation isn't the one where you have way more than you could ever need

little cove
#

Really? I find it the other way around.

#

Where we have enough to afford 2 or 3 resupplies, and more cave to explore

nocturne dust
#

but even so it's annoying and disheartening when you delay resupplying to avoid wasting and you find the resupply pod empty

#

you can't call down another when you don't know what's ahead of you in the mission

#

desperate situations especially in EDD can call for extra pods

little cove
#

Yes you can, that resupply isn't going anywhere

nocturne dust
#

I'm not going to call one just for my spot

#

no you can't if you have to backtrack all teh way to it later

little cove
#

But you'll surely kick for your spot

nocturne dust
#

especially an escort mission

little cove
#

You can walk back in an escort

#

Dorretta has 3 health bars, as long as there are no acid spitters or a large amount of bugs, shell be fine

nocturne dust
#

yes if you want to increase your chances to lose

#

which are already high when you're in a game where people take two resupplies for themselves

little cove
#

It's also high when you don't call resupplies when you need them

#

😆

nocturne dust
#

exactly

#

so i kick the guy

#

now we have enough supplies

little cove
#

And I shoot you and leave

#

bruh this last mission on the elite dive

#

too much

little cove
vestal musk
#

aw thank you

languid verge
#

we're trying to finish the normal deep dive, week 63 here

little cove
#

Steam version has it somewhere
Win10/Xbox doesn't spawn

languid verge
#

aw so it actually hasn't spawned? the phrasing on the patch note sounds like its just buried somewhere

#

i think we're gonna dig it out and see for sure lol

languid verge
#

mission time is at 1:10:00 but we're almost done

languid verge
#

well... super anti-climactic ending we dug out the entire area of the crystal sphere under the ommoran heartstone and the host's game crashed because of all the polygons

#

still unknown if mule leg exists or not

fringe kettle
#

on xbox / win version it doesn't

languid verge
#

shame

fringe kettle
#

it is on the steam version

languid verge
#

gotcha

fringe kettle
#

or more accurately it was before hotfix 11

round mica
#

So did the hotfix for the missing mule leg get released

fringe kettle
#

on steam, but it has to go through a certification process for microsoft

round mica
#

Ahhh

royal heath
#

yep, I played 3 deep dives and the last mule, the last leg cannot be found

#

we tried and dug just about the whole place up and the last leg is never found and even if you protect the dozer first and get the heartstone, you spend the rest of the time searching for it and then it fails the mission because it times out

#

nothing like getting to stage 2, the end of it and failing the whole dive more than half way through it all......

#

On the topic of taking two resupplies, I saw the comments above. Like I've mentioned, it's happened many times before in games I've hosted and I have not once kicked someone for it. I usually send a friendly reminder not to do that, or I call down another resupply and immediately take two for myself. Sometimes, in the heat of battle or when things are just confusing, frantic etc, then some people just forget they've already taken one. Sometimes, I take another in dire situations to save the day. I.e. when the team is down and I'm the only one left, I'm low on ammo and HP. The longer I've played the game, the more chill I've become (mainly because all this experience means I don't really panic in any situation, in this game, everything is just second nature really) and I welcome the challenge that odd scenarios, honest mistakes, weird caves and greenbeards bring. It's nothing to get terribly upset over. The important thing here is... Taking two is sometimes OK, it's all about context. And in my example above, when the host kicked everybody... If I'd been the host, and we still had 320 nitra left over with only 2/3rds of the mission done and there could be more up ahead. Well... Just chill, remind people to not take too much, call another. How hard can it be?

Need some help, Currently doing a deep dive with 3 of us and on the mule repair we have 2 in total but the second mule we are missing the last leg and have searched everywhere for it.

#

@grave saddle

grave saddle
#

vale falcon
#

it doesnt exist

wraith shard
#

it is bugged

so do we need to redo the mission or give up on deep dives until a patch comes out?

yeah wait till next week

#

yeah but Doretta be going down like a rock I would think

#

no acid spitters??

dim rune
#

wait, new idea: pick up doretta and use her like a hammer, plz devs

sacred prairie
#

Acid spitters are the worst on escort duty... I seen one kill one side of Doretta by itself in less than 10 seconds

dim rune
#

Yeah, she takes poison DoT which is annoying and a little unbalanced dstare

sacred prairie
#

well acid vs metal kinda makes sense

viral tulip
#

I didn't see too many acid spitters

#

There were a few more mactera than I would've liked but there still weren't many

3 acid spitters decimate Doretta

Almost a guaranteed loss of 1 health bar if they're allowed to group up to that size

Hi all. Does anyone know if the EDD is also bugged on game pass, or just the normal one?

drifting parcel
#

My team of green-beards (myself included) are having a hard time with this week's elite deep dive. It feels like we're just being overwhelmed by swarms/waves and then left with little ammo/health afterwards for the next encounter. Are there any general tips we should keep in mind for our builds and general gameplay?
Thanks

signal pawn
#

@drifting parcel which particular stage are you struggling with

drifting parcel
#

The first one goes alright but it seems we're consistently swarmed at the second stage right before getting to one of the eggs, and bugs come from both in front and behind us making it hard for cc to deal with them.
But in general it feels like we're using too much ammo during each encounter.
Should we be prioritizing dps over more mag size/max ammo?

signal pawn
#

DPS and ammo can be rewarding in their own right depending on the build

#

But I'd say first stage since it is quieter, farm a bit of nitra and make sure you can handle the opening swarms in S2

#

Following that, get to a Dread room ASAP

#

theyre not conveniently close to spawn room like a lot of times

#

Dreadnought missions spawn a lot of nitra so exploring is key in this map

#

Third stage is actually a doddle if you manage to get a lot of nitra from S2

#

Make sure you fight the dread in open spaces where everyone can see them

drifting parcel
#

Would it be worth to draw the dread/s into the spawn room?

signal pawn
#

it would, but you'd need a clear route for them to go

#

spawn rooms are ideal for dread fights

#

easy Dread missions are usually 1. lure and fight first dread in spawn, clear the room it came from of nitra, then do the same with dread 2

#
  1. clear the rest of the map of nitra, stage 3 will need a bunch of it
drifting parcel
#

I see, thanks.
In general is it a good idea to block off side passages/entrances that you entered through to mitigate getting overwhelmed by swarms from multiple directions?

signal pawn
#

That is entirely dependent on what is being thrown at you

#

But generally, you always want room to kite so blocking paths may mess with that in the long run

#

Space is key

drifting parcel
#

Well we'll give it a go again today, thanks for the tips!

signal pawn
#

No problem - rock and stone!

vast garnet
#

So this weels deep dive, anyone have troubles on level 2

#

Me and a fellow xbox player couldn't find a final leg for mini molly

azure spoke
#

that was at the heartstone right?

vast garnet
#

Yupppppp

#

We scoured the whole map, nothing, i just closed the game down and went to bed

azure spoke
#

we had a bit of trouble finding it as well in my run. it's buried in the heartstone mterial. I found it actually along the wall above the last mule

#

like, you have to drill into the wall above hte heartsone and theglow would barely show up above hte heartstone material

#

our last mule was completely buried in the heartstone stuff too.

vast garnet
#

Seriously? Lovely mboi

azure spoke
#

I didn't care, but I can understand wy it would be frustrating. I already knew it was possible for the leg to be buried like that

#

where was your last minimule?

vast garnet
#

Just in front of the stone on the sand

#

I had used up all my driller fuel and c4 trying to look for it

azure spoke
#

so a bit different from ours but not far off

vast garnet
#

So i just dc

azure spoke
#

shrug
the heartstone is impervious to both of htose anyway. gotta pickaxe it

vast garnet
#

Sadly yes

#

Ill give it a try later again

#

Plus it the leg never showed on the terrain scanner

azure spoke
#

I'd join and help, but I am on the steam version

#

yeah, they don't show up from inside the heartstone

#

also, I do believe hte devs have been working on that issue of things spawining inside the heartmaterial

vast garnet
#

Ill give it a try after

#

Thanks oz <3

Third stage is easier than it looks on paper as well

@slim sun Doesn't look like it. Devs commented on Reddit that some of the people involved in the Windows/Xbox releases are sick and that's slowing things down.

viral tulip
nimble dirge
#

So what is a good way to approach the different classes? Should I focus on one that I enjoy? Or should I try and balance myself out onto different characters to make myself more available?

viral tulip
#

I'd recommend at least promoting everyone

#

At the very least, knowing how everyone works helps you be better at the game overall

#

Beyond that though, you also may find out that a class you otherwise wouldn't have considered is actually a lot of fun to play

misty scaffold
#

you eventually get sick of playing one class and start promoting other anyway

pliant girder
#

You ideally want one of each class in a mission anyways. No guarantee of always having your main class available. If you're new to the game sticking with one or two classes is fine. You eventually want to learn how to play each class but you can do that later when you can fully deck out your other classes with max upgrades and overclocks.

pliant girder

Oh and driller does okay against rocks with imbedded detonators on the subata. Very strong overclock.

MY COMPUTER CRASHED AT THE END OF A DEEP DIVE I AM SO SORRY MY TEAM

I'd redo it but this DD is a slow one so I think I'll have to skip getting that cosmetic :(

Do the cosmetics rotate around again eventually?

wraith shard
#

Any chance we Xbox users could get a free cosmetic or something? I spent like three hours digging through ALL that obsidian stuff looking for the leg, and have waited all week for a patch only to find that the new rotation would get here before this deep dive would get fixed. :/

pale blade
#

Can anyone direct me to a if not some driller builds for doing deep dives? The ones i’ve googled are a bit dated

autumn minnow
#

Elite deep dive final mission, both a driller and engy shooting those rocks we couldn't DPS them fast enough to save doretta

#

it feels like maybe the rocks don't scale to lower player counts?

#

like an entire 22 round pistol magazine wasn't enough to break the rock

tame verge
#

Yeah driller is kinda SoL when dealing with the rock phase

#

I would have had the engi set his turrets up on omeon so his turrets 100% focus on the rocks and not bugs in front of them

azure spoke
#

build a plat shield over the dozer, rebuild it every tie the rocks fall

tame verge
#

could also do that but that's the boring play

azure spoke
#

take a scout with shotgun with elephant rounds, those do good damage. Assuming you want a scout along of course

tame verge
#

Scout with Embeded detinators on Zukovs can solo the rock phase

azure spoke
#

gunner's pistol does hella damage but is slow to reload, good mostly for when the mini is cooling down

tame verge
#

and thunderhead might not have enough damage to keep up and needs to reload

azure spoke
#

I don't use embedded dets, so I wouldn't know abotu that. might have to try them out now

tame verge
#

they are fantastic

#

opressers die in a clip and a power attack on haz 5 with 4 dwarves

azure spoke
#

hitting weakpoint the whole time?

tame verge
#

Opressers only have one point to hit

azure spoke
#

yeah, heh

tame verge
#

The detinators don't go off if you hit armor

#

but yeah try them out they're quite fun

#

only need to spend like 3 ammo per rock

azure spoke
#

nice

#

shotgun can do it in two, but i'm not sure if htat's true on haz 5, and the reload is painful

#

and you reload every 2 shots, so taking a rock down in 3 shots with far more rocks between reload sounds good

#

what about the m1000? any good for rocks?

tame verge
#

Well you reload to trigger the dets so pick your poison

#

probably could take one out with 2 focus shots

azure spoke
#

ah yeah, I forgot that. but the zhukov reloads fairly quick, no?

#

eh, 2 focus shots... not really worth it then

tame verge
#

I think a .7 reload or a 1.5 second without the upgrade

#

let me go check what the hp of a rock is

vital raptor
#

M1000 is pretty nice for rocks, You can actually do a focus shot with 1 ammo in the clip, so you can be pretty ammo efficient, also you can two shot rocks with focus shot

azure spoke
#

wopuld driller's epc work?

tame verge
#

Yeah an implode mostly kills a rock but it's hard to aim

azure spoke
#

you don't aim epc, you point it

tame verge
#

you can throw an axe to implode if you overheat

azure spoke
#

huh

#

wonder how the axes do on the rocks

#

probably a poor choice, due to range and arc

#

plat shield and turret management seems the best best for an engie/driller team, I suppose

tame verge
#

Yeah

#

Rocks take rad damage

azure spoke
#

breach cutter does a fair amount of damage to the rocks tho

#

mmm, I haven't actually used fatboy yet, thogh I got it last week

TCF is probably the best tool for dealing with the pillars in that it's inexpensive and fast

#

Minigun and scout are cheap but take a bit of time, and PGL's expensive

#

Well, scout's also cheap and quick but only when his power attack is up

clever inlet
#

On this edd we kinda did it by putting engi's cheese on the very top of the crystal and then scout jumped there and just pickaxed

#

We aren't min-maxers indeed so at least it is funny

viral tulip
#

That sounds like a solid strategy to me

#

Might be hard to pull off in pugs but if everyone's on their shit I bet it worked really well

clever inlet
#

Also what's nice that later crystals spawn at pretty much the same places so you don't need to put new cheeses, as previously put ones make it possible for scout to access

#

But it is kinda random I guess

brazen warren
#

we want neon skin for pickaxe

Minigun is very fast at killing pillars

you only need maybe half a second if fully spun up; you only need to destroy the tip

This week's deep dive was cursed

It crashed three times in total when my squad attempted it.

Almost towards the end, the game started literally DDOSing us and causing extreme lag and freezing during a swarm.

oop too late for that discussion i guess

#

sorry

glossy wind
#

In the first mission of EDD, is it scripted that a second dreadnought randomly appears right after waking up the first one from egg? I never realized that dreadnought can randomly spawn instead of enemy swarm wave
Or our team was incredibly "lucky" with having 2 dreadnoughts at once?

weak pivot
#

no

#

you had some bad luck for sure

glossy wind

I wonder how are the odds of that happening lol.

Oh, I see. Thanks for explanation

#

Actually, it was nice way to make the mission much more spicy

#

I would post a screenshot so you knwo I am not making it up, but its not allowed here

plush dew
#

i'd imagine that you can ignore the dread thats still in the egg if it spawns before you open it

#

which whould effectively allow you to skip a swarm

glossy wind
#

We woke up the first dreadnaught from egg, and then 5 seconds later HQ announced that there is something very large on scanner.

#

Second dreadnought appeared few seconds after we shot the egg of the legitimate dreadnought

#

Thats why I thought its some sort of scripted mission feature. Due to the timing being this close, I had doubts that its a coincidence

quick question, debating with a friend. elite deep dive unlock required winning a single normal dive right?

you must complete a normal deep dive at least once to unlock Elite dives after that, they are unlocked for the rest of the time the game is active, on that profile that is

sacred prairie

does drop pod always spawn in same spot in deep dive?

#

cuz it spawned in fucking ceiling in EDD

sacred prairie
#

to answer my own question yes the drop pod does spawn in the same spot just soloed the first stage lol

odd comet
#

No

#

Where the drop pod lands is entirely dependent on where you are when you call for it (Except in Salvage, Point Extraction, and Refinery)

#

It almost always spawns somewhere between 100-200 meters away from you

#

While on refineries/point extraction, it usually drops as far away from the minehead as possible

sacred prairie
#

@odd comet in refinery it spawned in EXACT same place twice in a row

#

beat stage 2, ow that was hard, I'm solo and game spawned an oppressor and bulk detonator simultaneously lol

odd comet
#

Well, yes

#

It's a refinery

#

Its spawn location is tied to the minehead's, and the minehead doesn't exactly move around much

sacred prairie
#

ok so in other stages it will vary? got it

#

xD

#

now time to see if I can beat stage 3 solo.... fun times

#

I been playing Cyberpunk all week so waited til last minute to do weeklies here

#

died on third stage, the black box got me lol

sacred prairie
#

I coulda beat it if I was on gunner, but went driller cuz of the bugged ass drop pod in stage 1

I've only seen the drop pod in wall bug a couple times before, it apparently happens when the end of the ramp spawns in one of the little tunnels the swarmers come out of

Oh hooo, that was such a fun EDD. Most fun I've had in the game in some time. I think across the entire team, we probably went down about 40-ish times. However, the dude that went down 27 times kind of padded the stats a bit. notnice We constantly ran low on ammo, so it was a mad scramble to just keep our ammo levels up and the bugs at bay. We had a rather weird team composition, so it wasn't entirely optimal. But hey, this is what I like. Most of the time, the game is a breeze, so I welcome all these crazy scenarios.

#

The end of the last stage made my adrenaline levels spike to 110%. Pod just landed, lucky me it landed near me, rest of the team down.. I went down too after running out of ammo, with about a thousand bugs on my tail. Had to activate Iron Will, made it to the pod with probably 3 or so seconds left. It wasn't a pretty first run, but, hey, 1st try. I'll take it.

There's a lot of Nitra but having to deal with non-stop swarmer spam really eats through your reserves

Stage 1 of EDD the dozer pathing is whack. In the resupply cave it goes straight up and then straight down. It also remained bugged for the entire mission, taking constant ticks of damage with no enemies nearby.

Dear Devs, can you at least ONCE do NOT include one of theese damn escort missions in your deep dives? Ever since you released the update, you put them in the deep dives! They were fun at first but you just oversaturated everything with them! Contracts, deep dives and whatnot. Would it be that hard to spare us from them at least ONCE?

deep dives are random, but yeah my fps hits like 15 in escort so its not really fun in a deep dive with more than like 2 people

#

I rate this week's EDD a 7/10 for difficulty. There have been harder ones.

#

A better rating system would be to say that it is Average for an EDD.

Man I dont know what this is but this EDD is one hell of a bumpy ride

#

Escort was okay, but last ones were pure purgatory

cerulean trellis
#

Escort just drains all the ammo

#

Then there's tunnel bulks in a split path

#

I've done this EDD twice now and finished it both times on the first attempt. Both times we got a praetorian wave which really drains your ammo unless you've got a cryo Scout or cryo Driller on the team. And both times we got two Bulks on the second stage.

On the last mission theres a large open space next to the rig. I suggest clearing it out a bit. It lets you jump around a bit and dodge bugs

the drop pod landing pops an egg in this week's dive
it triggers a swarm, so that sure was something to experience

EED mission 2 is brutal, man

Yup

#

Best I can say is stick together, which is old advice, but the starting junction on stage 2 makes it hard to follow

yeah

#

there's just no time to catch your breath

#

constant mini-swarms

#

and our team got a bulk after we hit about 100 morkite

#

all I can say to help people on the EDD is just move as fast as you can

#

that would mean taking a driller for shortcuts on stage 2

#

the rest is just skill

when the driller digs between eggs

if im engi should i wall up the entrance

you shouldnt lock yourselfs in a tunnel. if you're stuck in a bad spot in a wave (between rooms) look for a bend with a nice view on each entrance

so for mission 2 just drill straight between eggs yeah

I managed to complete this week's EDD solo with Scout. 1046 kills and 1907 minerals mined in 1h51 with 3 downs.
Stage 1 I did the eggs before deploying the drilldozer, then arrived to the Heartstone with full armor and lost two during the final event.
Stage 2 was hard due to the lack of open areas. I went back to the starting room at every swarm but still lost 3 lives early on. Rushed through the last room, dodging Bet-C, to get the last egg and call the drop-pod.
Stage 3 was the easiest, lot of resupply drops to recover health lost due to shield disruption.
This was my first EDD completed. It was a bit tedious at time with all the enemies but ultimately it was very fun. Still, I hope that the Escort mission type gets a bit of polish, the drilldozer's path this week was very chaotic (almost vertical at times and going back and forth).

Any advice for this week's EDD? Stage 1 has wiped the two teams I've tried it with (once on the way back to the drop pod 🤬 ) I felt like it was low on Nitra and the radiation kept killing us.

On my successful attempt we had 24 downs total, though half of those were from the driller.

just tried to do the elite deep dive and failed because doretta was constantly taking dmg from an unknown source. no radiation or bugs anywhere and it didnt matter where doretta was on the map

she just kept taking dmg from apparently nowhere

@open sun yeah it was only like 1% dmg every tick so i thought maybe a swarmer or the beams from the stone might be bugged somehow

@open sun the phantom glyphid has been a thing since the release of 32. Sometimes is the radioactive environment on doretta, but other than that, i don't know other possible reasons

My build for driller: face melter flamethrower, strictly damage ( focus on pumping rather than full pull on trigger)

Secondary: subata with rapid fire focused on ammo

Drills: extra damage to enemies, cooling attacking enemies.

Hello there, I've just recently got myself a promotion and i can use the forge and deep dives, however, i've been looking at deep dives as a hardcore mode to get alot of stuff, should I be scared or should I just make sure I got everything full decked out and even maybe a promotion or more and maxed out perks before entering?

hazy comet
#

just try it

frozen oar
#

In other words, should i feel intimidated?

hazy comet
#

nah its just 3 haz 3 missions chained together

#

EDD is a lot harder. haz 4.5, 5, 5.5

Yeah, I just don't want to bring teams down if i don't play well is all

just try it

frozen oar

Doesn't sound so bad then.

DD is a special flavor of mission
If you’re comfortable in Haz 4
Deep dive are usually cakewalk

There's an error cube in the standard DD this week?

its a pretty big time investment for a cosmetic core

and this one in particular feels nastier than usual.

#

im just getting back into this game after playing it in early access so deep dives weren't a thing yet. from my understanding, deep dives are a weekly thing? or can you still get rewards from completing them more than once?

#

im a little confused on that

sleek verge
#

we brought two engies, scout, and driller and things went pretty well, clutch af at points

mint zodiac
#

Deep Dives refresh every week. You can play the week's deep dive as many times as you want but you only Cores as rewards for the first time you beat it.

wintry kiln
#

yeah i lost the EDD with two different teams and gave up

wraith shard
#

So i've been playing the game for a few days now, just unlocked deep dives. Not looking to just jump right in though, any things i should try and learn or gear i should focus on getting?

split bison
#

Well a good deciding factor is whether or not you’re comfortable with Haz 4 missions

#

Each phase in a DD goes up in difficulty slightly, 3.5 -> 4 -> 4.5 if I remember correctly

#

Which Dwarf do you play? @wraith shard

wraith shard
#

i've promoted my engineer, and i'm sticking with him for most missions, but i have started to love gunner with the auto cannon. He's the next promotion i'm working on

split bison
#

Ah well are you comfortable soloing haz4s?

wraith shard
#

soloing i haven't tried

#

i will try that though

split bison
#

Oh I assumed you didn’t have a team lol

wraith shard
#

with a team they're not usually an issue, though i get downed now and again

#

been running with pubs

split bison
#

You should be ok then

#

No harm in trying

#

Just remember to mine a fuckload of nitra and take your time to get the most out of it, your supplies will carry over between phases

wraith shard
#

oh nice

#

thanks

split bison
#

Np man

dusk vapor
#

just keep in mind that exclusively nitra and gold spawn in deep dives so you don't have to stress about mining much

#

or exploring caves completely for that matter

split bison
#

Although for me it's hard to resist lol

dusk vapor
#

force of habit yeah

#

although it is nice to get through asap

tight heron
split bison
#

Ah sorry

tight heron
#

So really it's not much harder than haz 3

#

EDD is 4.5, 5, 5.5

#

5.5 being the highest in the game

brittle flume
#

I always thought the three stages of regular deep dives were haz 2.5-3-3.5. But that's just based on my personal experience, they seem so easy. Good to know if they are a little higher. EDDs definitely haz 4.5-5-5.5. You have to have a qualified team to complete one. The escort mission feels about haz .5 higher than other missions, so that would be rough as a final EDD stage.

#

I think if you are comfortable playing haz 3, then you should try a DD and your team should be able to carry you if you have trouble. If you have even one really good player on your team, then they will see you through if you have trouble. I do it all the time on DDs and it doesn't bother me. We are all there as a team. If you are comfortable playing haz 4 then you are more than qualified for a DD. Each DD stage is shorter than a regular mission and like someone said your nitra carries over from one stage to another. And if you finish a stage with nitra in your pockets, it's still in your pockets when you start the next stage so you can deposit it and use that too.

#

This is me at the end of a DD and if you count you will see 8 supply drops. I'm sure that's not a record. DDs are generous with nitra.

#

Which is a good thing for regular DDs, devs please don't change it!

There s always a room big enough for the escape pod behind the omoran in case the team goes back to the beginning of the cave before calling the pod but I ve never seen it being close off

out of all the Elite Deep Dives I've completed, I would say the closest near fail was in the Empty Trench EDD. Gunner had a cluch Iron Will save

it was in Sandblasted Corridors. I have a screenshot of it. just gotta find it.

the Gunner, Nebajoth, probably had TWO SECONDS of Iron Will left by the time he got in the Drop Pod. he almost got screwed by a Sandshark.

#

Nice

#

Clutch EDD and mission in general are epic

#

when you end on a clutch and its just
LETS GOOOO

somber jacinth
#

that's why I run Iron Will and Field Medic as my active perks on all four of my dwarves. its useful for when things go off the rails at 100 mph

half hill
#

I pick dash with one of these two
depending on wether or not I believe my them can clutch

#

Iron will when I don't trust them
FM when I do

somber jacinth
#

though, I like to try and save my Actives for the end of a mission, or when we're near the drop pod and things are getting dire fast.

half hill
#

I save them for moment Im thinking
man, this shit sucks hard
or I use Iron Will when Im somewhere convoluted and hard to reach
like that one adjacent cave that contain 2 aquarg in every Point extraction

somber jacinth
#

my favorite passive perks are Deep Pockets, Resupplier and Thorns.

half hill
#

Deep pocket is great and so is resupplier

#

I used to run Thorn all the time but less so now

#

maybe I should give it a go

#

would at least deal with that one Swarmer that goes through hell to bite your boots

somber jacinth
#

thorns is great for small amounts of stuff. but its great when I'm on a Zipline and I'm getting attacked by Naedocytes.

half hill
#

These are probably my most hated monster
I could use it since Im never sure what to run as third passive often

somber jacinth
#

though, with my extra 93 perk points, I wish I could upgrade my perks more.

#

Hopefully, we'll have more perk
someday

I can imagine being able to carry a full resupply's worth of nitra on me at once.
