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
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
i lost my deep dive because a trawler put me inside the morkite refinery platform
f
Good luck
In DD rn any advice on the leg?
Scroll up...
I couldn’t match the photo :(
The elite deep dive sucks
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
Actually hmm is the Xbox seed different?
None of the footage from the dev stream looks 100%
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.
yeah I just tried it twice and no avail
sure is
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.
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
invisible even from the scanner?
@vale falcon you think 20 people didnt try anything to find them? They are Not spawned on the map, they dont exist.
I mean its a possibility
@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.
brrrr, so hostile
You should scroll Up and read the comments before suggesting Something that has been suggested before and already proofen not to Work.
You are expecting me to do effort, puhuhuhu
Is it just me or was there a dotty mission in every single deep dive ever since the update came out?
not just you
@swift remnant its their
its not underneath
listen for the bing bing of the mule then dig either strait down or from an angle
It’s been established that the third leg of the Mule for those playing on Xbox does not exist.
Can confirm. Xbox does not have a completable deep dive
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
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
yeah but driller can use epc
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...
it's fine just drill to Bet-C and that's the only real issue with the last stage
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
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
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
@gentle hearth Steam or Xbox/Win 10 where you found the mini mule leg?
Steam @dusky fjord
It was weird cause it was grabbable the moment i opened the rock above it
I might finally swap my save from gamepass to steam over this deep dive bug 😦
just finished the deep dive early because the escape pod came before the counter finished!
Just did Stage 3 of EDD again, no BETC this time.
That’s weird, I thought BET C is seed constant?
It's based on player count, like every other map spawn
This is normal for refinery missions. There is no fighting period like in point extraction.
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?
if you're on the win store / xbox, it doesn't exist. Refer to #patch-notes-steam
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
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
Soon ™
Damn that sucks I wonder how that happens
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
No, there is no report system
just have to host every deep dive to ensure not trolling no host leaving i guess oh well
Yeah unfortunately no reporting system or downvoting etc. I host my own missions. Also add some people you play with if you see them a couple of times and think they’re good. Made some “regular” online friends this way and we do dives together.
Didn't have any issues yesterday
When your team successfully finished the EDD
This week's EDD was a good one btw. Even doretta + no shields were ok
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.
People seem to be getting mad at that just because instead of considering the context.
Just shoot them and leave.
I would kick on the spot the guy who takes two resupplies without asking in a perfectly peaceful setting
I'd probably shoot you and leave
I think people like that are just not good players in general anyway
and also not nice
the typical situation isn't the one where you have way more than you could ever need
Really? I find it the other way around.
Where we have enough to afford 2 or 3 resupplies, and more cave to explore
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
Yes you can, that resupply isn't going anywhere
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
But you'll surely kick for your spot
especially an escort mission
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
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
And I shoot you and leave
^^
||This is unrelated, but your profile picture is rad||
aw thank you
anybody know where the last mule leg is? been digging in teh crystal for a while now https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/616011814399901706/784852814559313961/unknown.png
we're trying to finish the normal deep dive, week 63 here
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
mission time is at 1:10:00 but we're almost done
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
but at least i got this pic https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/616011814399901706/784867183951347732/unknown_1.png
still unknown if mule leg exists or not
on xbox / win version it doesn't
it is on the steam version
gotcha
or more accurately it was before hotfix 11
So did the hotfix for the missing mule leg get released
on steam, but it has to go through a certification process for microsoft
Ahhh
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......
Windows XBox one app
so i can’t finish the dd right now?
Yes, if you’re playing the game via Xbox.
has anyone done the current DDE - Lucky Ceiling?
yes
Soooo how long until Xbox has a functioning dd? When's the reset again?
There's a full Vod in #deep-dive-speedrunning if you want a preview
me and my friend are trying to clip out of the map in the space center does anyone know anything
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?
Yeah I really don't care about doubling and I normally joke about it on VC as long as it was an accident or they didn't know
Please someone beat our highlander EDD run, it’s not that hard I promise
Just bring a cryo driller who runs EPC
hello, i can't find the last foot mule in dd ?
Either next thursday or when hotfix 11 drops, whichever happens first.
yeah if you are on Win 10 or XBox its broken and will not spawn........if you have Steam version I think its working........sucks for those of us that have tried it 3 times and wasted so much time before finding this out, lol 😦
are the caves always the same for deep dives?
yeah its 1 seed generated per week, same after every run
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.
MS win 10
it doesnt exist
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
ah thank you
That EDD was surprisingly not awful
Well, stage 3 specifically
Looks bad on paper but was pretty smooth in game
Shield Disruption Escort sounds horrifying but the hazards and enemy types in Crystal Caverns are very manageable in Shield Disruption
regular deep dive, pod 3, password "pingas"
_ _
ATTENTION MINERS!
We are hearing rumors that some dwarves are still not done with this weeks
Deep Dives
!
We want to remind you that there's only half a week left until our scanners pick up new missions!
_ _
escort duty on diff 5.5 with shield disruption wasn't awful? 🤔
sounds pretty awful
Well, half the bugs don't even attack you and can't reach you if you're on Doretta
wait, new idea: pick up doretta and use her like a hammer, plz devs
Acid spitters are the worst on escort duty... I seen one kill one side of Doretta by itself in less than 10 seconds
Yeah, she takes poison DoT which is annoying and a little unbalanced 
well acid vs metal kinda makes sense
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
I once had 6+... we died, but we probably could have saved it if we were more coordinated
Hi all. Does anyone know if the EDD is also bugged on game pass, or just the normal one?
regular until either hotfix 11 lands or next thursday rolls around
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
@drifting parcel which particular stage are you struggling with
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?
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
Would it be worth to draw the dread/s into the spawn room?
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
- clear the rest of the map of nitra, stage 3 will need a bunch of it
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?
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
Well we'll give it a go again today, thanks for the tips!
No problem - rock and stone!
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
that was at the heartstone right?
Yupppppp
We scoured the whole map, nothing, i just closed the game down and went to bed
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.
Seriously? Lovely 
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?
Just in front of the stone on the sand
I had used up all my driller fuel and c4 trying to look for it
so a bit different from ours but not far off
So i just dc
shrug
the heartstone is impervious to both of htose anyway. gotta pickaxe it
Sadly yes
Ill give it a try later again
Plus it the leg never showed on the terrain scanner
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
Xbox version is broken right now, there is no third leg
yes that's known
you're waiting on either hotfix 11 or the Thursday reset. Whichever happens sooner.
Don't take my word on this but I m pretty sure Microsoft certification happens on either Monday or Tuesday so if we don t get the Hotfix tomorrow we most likely can t complete it this week
ngl i found this weeks edd hard
Drilldozer was a pain... we only had 2 people were getting 3-5 rocks at once.... lost cuz my partner died lol
depends on comp
engie and gunner destroy those rocks tbh
driller is feelsbad without epc tcf snipes
scout can do well with embed dets but otherwise is eh
The sniper is decent damage on the rocks iirc and even otherwise scout can do some decent dps, it's just nothing to write home about
how be the EDD this week
EDD's not bad, save for the third stage
underground
Deep Dive fixed on Microsoft yet? Anyone know? 🙂
Third stage is easier than it looks on paper as well
At least for our run we didn't get any particularly nasty spawns and none of the waves were that bad
@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.
@halcyon terrace 😦 Thanks for the info!
Is there a trick for seeing the post made about DDE objectives, becuase scrolling up dosent' help
nvm, see them pinged
I think she dug one of ours- they're both in a refuel room though so you don't have to dig ahead to get them
Just managed to complete my first EDD ever!!

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?
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
you eventually get sick of playing one class and start promoting other anyway
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.
Oh and driller does okay against rocks with imbedded detonators on the subata. Very strong overclock.
would anyone be able to help lil ol noob in DDE?
I'd be down to join around 7pm central time

Is the xbox/gamepass deep dive still broken on stage 2 ?
whats inside the barrels ?
heck
panocha
What a fascinating new word you’ve discovered.
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?
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. :/
Can anyone direct me to a if not some driller builds for doing deep dives? The ones i’ve googled are a bit dated
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
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
build a plat shield over the dozer, rebuild it every tie the rocks fall
could also do that but that's the boring play
take a scout with shotgun with elephant rounds, those do good damage. Assuming you want a scout along of course
Scout with Embeded detinators on Zukovs can solo the rock phase
gunner's pistol does hella damage but is slow to reload, good mostly for when the mini is cooling down
and thunderhead might not have enough damage to keep up and needs to reload
I don't use embedded dets, so I wouldn't know abotu that. might have to try them out now
they are fantastic
opressers die in a clip and a power attack on haz 5 with 4 dwarves
hitting weakpoint the whole time?
Opressers only have one point to hit
yeah, heh
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
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?
Well you reload to trigger the dets so pick your poison
probably could take one out with 2 focus shots
ah yeah, I forgot that. but the zhukov reloads fairly quick, no?
eh, 2 focus shots... not really worth it then
I think a .7 reload or a 1.5 second without the upgrade
let me go check what the hp of a rock is
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
wopuld driller's epc work?
Yeah an implode mostly kills a rock but it's hard to aim
you don't aim epc, you point it
you can throw an axe to implode if you overheat
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
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
Fat boy is amazing for dealing with the waves on dorreta

Hyper propellant is good in escort from what I've seen
You can just shoot the tips easily off the pillars
It's better to just have the gunner run mini.
Fewer tradeoffs; you're not having one of your better AoE classes gimping his AoE ability by turning his grenade launcher into a railgun
If they spawn close together a fat boy can take out 2-3 pillars
And honestly, scout and driller work just fine for handling crystals as well
I mean, it's not like the scout is doing anything else useful
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
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
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
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
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
Can’t find the 3rd leg
Pls help
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.

omg, can we please stop with the anoying drilldozer with macteras and shield disruptions all the time?!?
Just wait until the Veterans hit, gonna make it so much worse lol
stage 2 of DD refinery 2 eggs
just have someone in your party who can skip fuelstage 
stage 3 DD is 2 dreads, 2 mules, regen bugs, crit weakness
The edd looks easier to swallow than the regular 😮
Finally no drilldozer in the EDD. Karl bless, I'll leave extra resups for em this week 
Swarm from black box + swarm from eggs on Stage 3 EDD = not fun 🙂
EDD does look fun for once. how nice 🙂
Low O2 can huff farts but that's pretty minor compared to having to do another Dottie
This week’s EDD was surprisingly easy.
last weeks edd was a cake walk aswell
@quiet mortar Just wanted to say, thank you for your service. Every week I come on here and find your post and screen snip it to share with my crew. Lol

Speaking of engie for beamers in last phase of escort duty, don't run hyper propellant. Run extra ammo or compact rounds, it still just takes one shot and you will have PLENTY to spare
Has anybody on Xbox or windows store completed the DD stage one successfully yet? Just want to make sure all the mule legs are there this time.
this EDD looks p easy on the surface
no lethal enemies, no shield disruption
no mactera plague
low oxy is easy with those mission types, esp with volatile guts
is it easy tho
you never know with a deep dive
but these mutators and missions types aren't that hard
From what I’ve seen, u should be conservative with ammo. Not at that point myself yet, tho.
w/ how many players?
I've never done a solo deep dive so don't think I can be of much use in that way, but if you're doing a group hmu for some build suggestions
ok
I'm a fairly experienced Engineer player, 10 or so EDDs under my belt at this point
Make sure you have an answer for every enemy/task between you and ur teammates weapons and equipment. @void remnant
ok
Swarm from black box + swarm from eggs on Stage 3 EDD = not fun 🙂
@honest spindle I like those odds (laughs inCarpet Bomber OC. It leaves no tiny or normal gliphits behind!) Trust me thatll weapon kicks som kitin(gliphit normal armor that makes soft spots revial).
oop too late for that discussion i guess
sorry
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?
I wonder how are the odds of that happening lol.
could be worse lol
"I never realized that dreadnought can randomly spawn instead of enemy swarm wave"
this is only true for a few mission types, and it happens incredibly rarely. its a special swarm, like the "swarmer/mactera/praetorian/grunt swarm"
refinery is one of them, and since the dreadnaught kill objective is the secondary its ignored.
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
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
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
nah, just super unfortunate 🦀
My mate and i where doing a elite deep dive, stage two. And his internet dropped and i got booted and cant rejoin
He's still in the mission, but when i press join on his name it just says "Multiplayer Session Ended"
6 eggs + black box with parasites
Can anyone tell me if the terrain is more favorable to the PGL or the Breach Cutter in the EDD?
breach cutter was much better
@wraith shard alr cool. What was the build you used if I may ask?
There's anyway to get the antler cap (reward of 2019 xmas) ?
discovered that just yesterday too
never had that happen
But that wasn't EDD my bro, though maybe you just predicted what will happen soon...
whats this weeks regular deep dive?
Heyyyyyy in the very slim chance either of the 2 unfortunate dwarves that got disconnected from my deep dive read this: I’m very sorry, it wasn’t me my internet crashed
I walked into the Elite Deep Dive for the first time and promptly fell victim to every cave leech 1 by 1. Thankfully I had Bosco around. Sadly I failed the mission before I got into the dropship at the end 😔
anyone down for an EDD?
DD & EDD completed
thanks
Doing EDD, the team get to a black box and decide to dig it into a bunker.
Whole team is quickly wiped through a wall by a single radioactive Praetorian.
No idea why people still attempt this strat.
I'm never going to get through a single EDD with shenanigans like this.
Bunkers on EDD? Baaaaaaad idea
Yup
No point protesting either since they didn't speak english and wouldn't have stopped either way
I've bunkered on EDD plenty. Works so long as you dig some handy "Oh god a bulk detinator why did we do this" tunnels.
Me and my friend Duo'd the EDD no problem, got it done with sub 45 as well
I keep getting toxic people that leave midgame </ 3

Any tips on generic deep dive passive perks to focus on leveling first?
I'm currently using veteran depositor and elemental resistance
Elemental resistance. Vampire for reviving yourself out of iron will.
Friendly if youre driller.
since im a bit of an idiot, other than the difficulty, whats the difference between normal deep dives and EDD?
Nothing
hell yeah
Just difficulty
Hi all
I'm thinking to buu the game
It's noticiable the ping un the Game?
I'm live on argentina and sant to know of the Game is playable
Thanks
do y'all normally go for the double tap or reload speed on the shottie
i don't live in a place where ping is much of a concern but i've heard VERY good things regarding lag compensation in this game
i'd say it's def worth it
why the fuck is there always a drilldozer AND a liquid morkite in EVERY DEEP DIVE SINCE WEEKS
a salty guy, sick of seeing those everywhere
Because RNGesus
not only deep dives
Most of my play time the past weeks has been drilldozer
well i mean its alright when theres a lot of missions of those types, but you can still choose if you actually wanna do them
but if theres always those 2 types in assignments (promo, weeklies) and deep dives then it just stops being fun and feels more grindy than it needs to be
oh and dont forget repetetive
Also need migrating host goddamn
oh yeah
just feels like a waste to start one cuz...who knows
Deep dive and EDD are the same? Except for high hazards?
Very similar. EDD has higher haz and I think gives more cash and xp. But other then that cores, cave generation, and mutations are about identical.
EDD tends to have more negative modifiers
we finished our Deep Dive yesterday
taking EDD now will give a blank matrix core?
first stage will give you a blank yes
Yes, DD and EDD give separate rewards
@Marcos#6386 you can see if people are close or far away from you when you do matchmaking
Oh he gone
Ok
man normal dd was super easy this week
This week's DD was my first and yeah it did feel surprisingly easy. EDD though is a pain because of swarms I can't handle alone 😔
got to stage 3 EDD last night with tons of ammo and no close calls then we accidentally started the blackbox during a swarm
Did the first EDD but I had to abuse rocky mountain buff and also bunker down with engineer. The drop pod unfortunately ended up dropping ontop of a cave... so I had to dig and platform my way up there while bugs were spawn from the very same wall I was trying to climb 😔
So suspenseful
_ _
ATTENTION MINERS!
We are hearing rumors that some dwarves are still not done with this weeks
Deep Dives
!
We want to remind you that there's only half a week left until our scanners pick up new missions!
_ _
Please excuse my total green beard question but is there a purpose to doing a deep dive after you have done it the first time?
None if you've already completed it successfully that week ||ignoring the speedrunning argument||.
I usually do some of them more than once, helping others who still need to do it, thanks to my prior knowledge of my first completion
tfw failed last stage of edd on last egg because a ressuply pod fell on my head in mid air while I was using my hook
Oofer
what are the rewards for EDD?
Completing stage one gets you a blank matrix core, completing stage 2 gets you a weapon overclock core, completing stage three (3) gets you a cosmetic core infusion
@stable thistle
So EDD gets Same rewards as in Deep dive
yes
yes, but you can only get cores from the DD and EDD once per week
and the cores you earn in each are separate
me and my friends only do 1st part of edd haha we newbs.. i wonder wat is this week's edd 1st part?
basic morkite refine witha pain in the ass drop pod spot
If anyone wants to duo the EDD, and you're on Xbox or windows, hit me up. Gt is the same
nkl
DD this week is quite ok I think
third stage is free thanks to critical weakness
only pain in the ass is the opening of second stage I suppose

How so?
Also I haven’t done a full EDD before. I did the first 2 solo one time but it was a relatively forgiving one. I wanna do this week’s EDD for real
Any insight on this week’s hazards/mission types?
i see there is a solo button for deep dives
on a scale from 1 to 10
how bad of an idea is that?
its a good idea, bosco is a very handy tool and friend, + his revives reset each stage
the droppod lands inside the ceiling for the EDD first stage??
oh god
i just barely survived the heartstone solo
dear karl those beamers are horrible solo
Atleast you got your zipline
@opal mica You can shoot the Beamer things down as a gunner with minigun, have you tried it? Shoot off the top tip.
_ _
ATTENTION MINERS!
Planet scanning is still in progress, 12 hours left until new
Deep Dives
!
_ _
Have you asked boscoe to trim the tips?
quick question, debating with a friend. elite deep dive unlock required winning a single normal dive right?
correct
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
edd gives u a new leg
bosco rocket can blast off beamer too, just aim high
does drop pod always spawn in same spot in deep dive?
cuz it spawned in fucking ceiling in EDD
to answer my own question yes the drop pod does spawn in the same spot just soloed the first stage lol
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
@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
Well, yes
It's a refinery
Its spawn location is tied to the minehead's, and the minehead doesn't exactly move around much
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
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
What difficult are elite deep dives
I'm fairly sure it's 4, 5, 5.5
It changes but it's around 4, 4.5, 5 and 5.5 depending on the mission and week.
Late reply LOL. Have the weeklies re set? And do we know what the deep dives look like

sounds really easy this week
Sorry for being slow this week, am caught up now!
Shield disrupt on the EDD, big OOF energy right there.
its okay :3
it means nothing if you have loads of nitra
shield disruption stage 1/2 is more likely to give you trouble than S3
Yeah. I've seen players who die regardless
You are right, having it on the last isnt to bad. But I have had to many people die to shield disrupt on any stage because they take it for granted,
Or forget to change their armor upgrades. It will be a fun 1.
i always run health bonuses rather than shield just in case i forget 
finished my first deep dive... solo of all things. i was surprised.
Congrats! It's actually fun, right?
What a madlad
This is 3rd time im been disconnected from EDD in 3rd stage
Why there's no "Rejoin" button???
better than point extraction
@sly turret make sure ur firewall is allowing the game, and check your server to make sure your PC server and game servers are the same my friend had the same issue with her steam server and game server being different. 8f all else fails check your CPU u may have to OC for the EDD
Another DC at 3rd stage EDD
i dont care if i dc at any point
as long as the "rejoin" function is working properly
Bro, 4th in a row?
You have the greatest patience on Earth
The calmest man ever, nerves of steel. For me even dcing once from 1st stage is enough of a reason to play something else to not risk it again while it seems unstable
this guy kept disconnecting I think 4 times from the deep dive and just kept coming back
what a trooper
also when the edd lookin a lot like the deep dive from last week
whew
I'm crazily impressed
Like if it failed for 4 times in a row, what are the chances the fifth will be successful xd
ik there’s a way to reconnect but it’s a coin toss if I get that option upon relaunch
yeah I feel you
I'm even scared to just imagine not only doing that escort for 5 times, but also everything else on the same map
I'd just never want to play the game for a long period of time :o
He needs the employee of the month award indeed
do devs pick what mission types deep dives will have?
if so they're really making sure players hate drilldozers
conspiracy theory
ugh so mad. somebody closed the multiplayer session for EDD while we were doing great in part 3
what are the missions in dd now?
scroll up a bit
pinned messages
I found it, thx again.
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.
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.
Congrats!
when the entire squad gets avg 1000 kills it is an EDD with PTSD
the swarms in the last stage just wouldnt leave us although these really hard EDD's are the good ones
i joined a random squad to do the elite
total downs is about 7 or sth like that
it was a smooth one thb
This weeks EDD was one of the wackiest in a while
From a drilldozer that did a fucking loop de loop, to two bulks during swarms, to a DREADNAUGHT on the oil refinery randomly spawning.
I haven't started doing the Deep Dives. Do Pick-up Groups work or does it need to be more coordinated than that?
Pugs work for both. Regular DD is comparatively easy, but the EDD you'll want to be a regular haz 5 player
damn that EDD was something else
we only beat that second stage with like 3 iron wills
Yeah we arrived at the third stage at low health and ammo, instantly surrounded by 50 swarmers, then while we were struggling to recover we got a praetorian swarm
@sly turret you got it?
Oh and when I went down I clipped through the floor and got teleported to bumfuck nowhere
And then the rest of the party got downed so I tried to Iron Will but there was no red sugar anywhere nearby
I feel like there's something wrong recently with the chance for a dread to spawn instead of a swarm on refinery exactly, I think I got like 3 of them this week on regular refinery mission
Oh right, we also got an error cube on stage 1 from a present but it didn't actually work ;-;
Lost out on 20k xp
I had it too :o
Didn't check if it counted though, but the fact it can be extracted from a present surprised me
Oh fuck, I just remembered. Stage 3 was also shield disruption
Yeah, this week was one hell of a crazy one
Luckily I had some top tier players with me
I know how to do deep dives, but how do you do a deep dive elite
Same as regular deep dives, just use more caution
Not quite, you need to first beat a deep dive, then you unlock elite deep dives
hey all! Just started this wonderful game and am having such a blast already with friends! Does anyone know what the top right blue symbol means when you're at the space rig? it says lvl 1 and was filled up. But after doing 1 mission with friends the blue symbol decreased by 1 filling? (still lvl 1 tho)
That's your account level
I don't know how you level it up either, but it's consistent with all 4 dwarves
ohhh I seee, maybe i lagged or something because I could've sworn it went down by 1 xD thanks for letting me know!
Np man
every time a dwarf levels, the player level goes up by 1/3rd
Oh I see! That makes sense 🙏
Ahhh thank you
keep falling through doretta in the EDD
Yeah doretta goes full vertical space-shuttle mode in the first EDD
But this weeks EDD was the worst one i've done so far
Good thing i had a good team carry me lol
lmao
both are now done, yeesh the new EDD was rough alright but we beat it on the first try, our engi sadly left during the third stage, possibly because he was getting upset, or disconnect, rest of my team and I finished it tho
I noticed we were very scarce on nitra in the first two missions, but in the third I found quite a bit of nitra. Definitely less than last weeks 500 leftover nitra
Yeah even though I went solo, I was blowing through ammo 👀
I've only done up to the 2nd EDD and not doing the 3rd. The 2nd one had way too many enemies spawning and swarming me in the cave system. Eventually had to run out to a big open space so I could kite enemies while Bosco pelted them with bullets and shock
There's a lot of Nitra but having to deal with non-stop swarmer spam really eats through your reserves
Yeah it was rather refreshing to have an EDD without fuckloads of nitra everywhere. We did call down a fair amount of resupply pods on the last mission, but the constant enemy spawns ate through that quickly.
I had a bulk spawn next to me and insta down me. Was fun.
Bulks are inactive for 5 seconds after they spawn
Unless you or your teammates start shooting it
Yep. Don't attack the bulk if it spawns next to you
I didn't, gunner on the other hand...
Oof
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.
Edd stage 2 is morkite mining...
typo
I'm not sure if it was my team or the dozer bugging out but when it finished moving we lost one hp bar instantly
I got the constant damage, but we still had all hp bars left at the end
Wiped in front of the escape pod in stage 3 edd cause the driller C4 thr whole team
I almost choked
Wow.
good man 😄
first time doing weekly deep dive, end of third dive, connexion lost. Second try, loading third dive, connexion lost. Is it me or this dive is damned ?
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?
R
N
G
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.
This EDD is great 👍
yeah so I heard people talking about double bulk on this elite deep dive
just happened in our rn
*run
no bulks here
Does anyone want to run a Deep Dive with a 
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
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.
Dotty was really drunk on this one XD
Cryo driller recommended?
yeah
pinned messages
first mission was a MESS
my entire team of four JUST made it out alive with a slither of health on the final part of the EDD
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
Great job, R2
is this the second week in a row it's been shield disruption last mission?
for edd
shield disruption is a run killer
When the engi disconnects
Oddly enough it's happend twice
But the gunner and Driller are uberchads
what level do you have to be to do a deep dive and how long are they
Any tips for the second stage? It keeps kicking my arse
You gotta be a promoted dwarf, and they're 3 stages long
And another run failed
You need to promote your dwarf once and they usually take anywhere from 20 mins to over an hour depending on how fast you go. Expect around 45 mins.
anyone know a good up-to-date source on dps for the Spinning Death breach cutter vs stock? i've been messing around with both and i honestly can't tell which i'm getting more damage out of
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
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
This edd made me hate swarmers like never before
disguting bugs
next try I'll just go with full driller team
Yup. Made me learn to love cryo minelets again
Take one gunner for spitter killing an shields
Solid team
and watch them swarmers burn
Or freeze. Freeze is great for the praetorians
we didn't have bulks on second stage
huh
and it was pretty easy
third stage was just hell
Sometimes they don't show up
Stage three is pretty rough
I only passed it due to a good scout getting to the drop pod while the rest of us were covered
when your team starts an aquarq mission by inadvertently standing under the minehead when it comes down

holy hell
what is that 3rd stage
mental feeling of higher jumps from stage 2 wiped + shitty terrain + swarms are HUGE
3rd stage I used all my bosco revives it was hard
told driller to make a bunker we can flock to during swarm
passive aggressive butt said yeah we don’t have nitra for me to say no cause I was scout
we had like 250-260 and we all dead
I’ll be driller this time
😈
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.
Dig to the eggs on stage 1 before deploying the drilldozer. You should be able to kill the egg swarm safely and get some extra nitra before starting the escort part.

ATTENTION MINERS!
We are hearing rumors that some dwarves are still not done with this weeks
Deep Dives
!
We want to remind you that there's only half a week left until our scanners pick up new missions!
_ _
https://puu.sh/GZt8Q/6017559351.jpg Was really close on this attempt. Objectives done on stage 3 but got overwhelmed by swarm right after 😭 I think this is also the most amount of combined stats I've had for my kills and resources mined for an EDD, so i'm satisfied with that at least
Ouch
On my successful attempt we had 24 downs total, though half of those were from the driller.
Definitely a difficult week but i believe in you!
Probably gonna try my first deep dive soon, how is it in solo?
What are the objectives in the EDD this week?
Well, I don't think I can solo this one then. Lol
Do Bosco revives transfer between phases?
Bosco revives are reset at each stage
What is a haz?
difficulty of a game -- hazard 1 - 5
Oh ok.
Thank you
One more question. How do I tell what type of hazard it is?
Is it the pick axe?theres none
look that
Oh
did the 1st picture help
I was looking at the assignment board
Lmao
Thanks for the help.
Ok how do I make the link thing to my pod in lfg? (Sorry for asking so many questions.)
deep dive elite, wtf bruh
is it just a problem of needing to get gud at spacing and killing the bugs?
clearing the air is huge
the number of spitballers next to brood nexus in this edd
is just unreal
especially when they're at the bottom of a 100m shaft
Idk how I beat this one.
Ive been trying to help randoms beat it all day and I had 3 fails all on stage 3.
any suggestions for scout gunner* for the EDD
also i had a smrt idea...remove the last efgg during a swarm then summon a swarm from egg and hit the drop pod button 😄
also oof that last part is ruff
especially when your driller kinda is mission some key brain parts :X
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
I've had that happen before, we thought maybe a single swarmer somehow got clipped inside Doretta and was damaging it from inside. That was the only thing we could think of because of the time it took for each tick of damage.
@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
Happened to me and my gang as well
2 game in a row
Deepcore Gk2 with perks 2 1 3 1 2 | Boomstick with 2 1 2 1 3 (or 1 1 2 1 3 with the Jumbo overclock) | AOE on pickaxe | Cryo Grenade | whatever you like for the rest ( I recommend Vampire, Born ready and Hoverboot at least for the perks
@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.
Gas canister
Fast recharge on power attacks.
Perks: vampire, dash, iron will, big pockets and red sugar .
Have we had any discussions on the regular deep dive's exposed errorcube on level 3
good to know Im not alone trying to complete that fricken advanced dive
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?
just try it
In other words, should i feel intimidated?
Yeah, I just don't want to bring teams down if i don't play well is all
just try it
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
EDD can be hard but I’d say to just try it
There's an error cube in the standard DD this week?
They can pop out of gift
Man this EDD is tough
The last part can go to heck. Also its only a cosmetic 😛
yep, i dont feel bad skipping out on the last stage if i fail it more than once or twice
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
we brought two engies, scout, and driller and things went pretty well, clutch af at points
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.
yeah i lost the EDD with two different teams and gave up
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?
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
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
Ah well are you comfortable soloing haz4s?
Oh I assumed you didn’t have a team lol
with a team they're not usually an issue, though i get downed now and again
been running with pubs
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
Np man
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
Although for me it's hard to resist lol
According to the wiki DD is 3, 3.5, 3.5
Ah sorry
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
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!
all gunner EDDs - ideal
objective: kill all bugs
lead kills bugs
air does not kill bugs
conclusion: replace all air with lead
i call it operation leadbug
I just did a escort duty mission and found a closed off room 15-20m off from the last room with a Tritilyte Crystal event and a BET-C, is that normal? -sorry if this the the wrong place to ask
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
Weird.
love the haz 7 on edd this week 😩
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
Empty trench?
gunner just STANDIN
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
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
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
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.
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
my favorite passive perks are Deep Pockets, Resupplier and Thorns.
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
thorns is great for small amounts of stuff. but its great when I'm on a Zipline and I'm getting attacked by Naedocytes.
These are probably my most hated monster
I could use it since Im never sure what to run as third passive often
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.
god, the dream
carry the morkite quota in your pocket
if I had to put a cap on it, I would say 120 units would be a good cap.
60 feels small to me
but 120 feels excessive for me
hell that's one resup and an half
maybe 100 would be good.
I'd like vampire to heal a bit more
but maybe Im just not a pro melee user
update: stage 2
writing my will brb
can’t understand him but does bunker strat from the get-go
