Any mutators on EDD 3?

nope
echo edge
We haven't had many refinery missions on DD as opposed to escorts lol guess I just never noticed
Just realised if I had called it there s a risk I couldn t have deposited the eggs I m dumdum
Actually no I m confused af right now there s no reason we need to complete secondary before starting the pumps you need to press the button a second time a the end
Maybe because digging eggs during the refining segment would mess with spawns?

Oho! No escort mission? Is that on normal or hard?
brittle fractal
both
slow bronze
Cool, thanks.
slow bronze
I don't mind escort missions, but for some odd reason my game crashes on them if I'm in a group. So I soloed deep dives the last 2 weeks.
slow bronze
A valid point. I like mowing down the horde of bugs that follows Dotty in the tunnel though.
wraith shard
I would rather do dozer than refinery tbh. If you can get all three health bars to the last room you're pretty much golden.

NO Drilldozer this week ohhhhhhhhhhhhh yaaaaaa
edgy night
So I did my first solo DD last night as Promoted Engineer. Had the SMG and the Triple Beam Laser Cannon. A little intimidating. I got through the first one in about 38 minutes, and the second one I almost finished, but a disconnect/game crash right at the end, so, not sure where it ended up.
odd rover
This week's EDD feels pretty easy
mighty bone
Anyone up for a DD and/or EDD?
untold creek
the edd doesn’t sound too bad yeah, surprised it didn’t get any warnings on the last level
floral tusk
both dives combined took 60 minutes
untold creek
That sounds pretty easy yeah
Or at least it doesn’t take that long
escort really does pad out the time spent in the mission
odd rover
My PuG was able to do it in around 5 minutes, so it was pretty easy.
Make sure to stock nitra for it, kill dread very early, and get objectives done quickly.
(helps if a lvl 300 carries you, tho).
shadow minnow
I somewhat kept our team alive as a driller in mission 3 edd.
odd rover
I imagine that would easily get rough w/out everyone getting work done.
shadow minnow
Got down to the wire for us, constant non-stop waves coming in, manage to barely defeat the boss and everyone died while I rushed into the pod securing it.
odd rover
Nice.
distant ore
Haven’t done mine yet I struggle with extractions I’m only worried about last stage
How’s nitra in the first two?
odd rover
My group had like 240+ going into last stage.
First two stages aren't particularly demanding, especially if you're doing them at a good pace.
distant ore
Nice
odd rover
Not having any warnings last stage is also a big help, it's ordinary just very hard.
tight heron
Man those waves on stage 3 EDD were something
untold creek
PE is usually tricky if you let enemies pile up
It’s why killing dreadnought asap is the best thing to do
Make sure you experience as few waves before the fight as possible so you have everything you need
zenith warren
normal DD very good this week. great mix of difficult terrain and hazards. good entry point for greenbeards
are the huuli hoarders always spawned in the same location? ie did your drop pod land on one in DD
prisma junco
@zenith warren I'll get back to you on that
zenith warren
because that was a nice little bonus
huuli hoarders are the one thing I can't kill effectively
tawdry birch
Urrrrgh haunted cave
zenith warren
bulk spawned on stage 1 and I just laughed
yeah, but with low gravity
and 4 eggs in the central room
the brew up for me was the -1 hit to kill terrain brew and it was real handy as solo engi
also, mind the one cave leech in round 2
also oof, ED with a dreadnought? yeah, rush the dread down first.
prisma junco
are the huuli hoarders always spawned in the same location? ie did your drop pod...
I think Spawns like Huuli Hoarders and Bet-Cs are dependent on player count
how many players were you with?
untold creek
Huuli hoarder is based on map seed iirc
Betc as well
They’re spawned when the map generates
untold creek
well, I got huuli hoarder 4 times in a row at the exact same location on a deep dive sooo
dawn sonnet
They do
prisma junco
stage 1 I didn't get a BET-C
dawn sonnet
Exactly, regular DD starts with a Haulii getting killed by the pod
prisma junco
Syncourt did it Solo and got a BET-C
untold creek
that may have been misrememberance idk
deft kite
bet-c on solo are easy depending what class you are playing
prisma junco
in the comments they responded that they thought BET-C spawns might be based on player count
IDK about Huulis tho
untold creek
either that or you just forgot it was there I have no idea
Perhaps betc is a chance thing
prisma junco
we definitely didn't forget
untold creek
I’m certain on huulis
zenith warren
that'd be weird though
feral atlas
this week's edd looks like a pushover
untold creek
however maybe it’s because it’s passive
like huuli is passive and passive monsters might spawn in the same spots every time...? Or maybe huulis just have that specific exception bc of how they work
I know spitballers don’t always spawn in the same spots on deep dives so
Maybe it’s a hostile vs passive thing
prisma junco
yeah I dunno
untold creek
I guess it would make more sense for a super lootbug to spawn for consistent rewards but not enemies that usually spawn on gen
echo edge
I think bet c spawning is based on if you're playing steam or windows
Not sure tho I don t usually run my dives more than once
untold creek
Namely if the seed determined the on-gen enemy spawns that would mean a craussus would spawn every time if a deep dive rolled it
Which would be insane
betc spawns affected by steam vs windows??
That sounds so weird to me
echo edge
I think so, if you get it once Im pretty sure it s always there

edgy night
Hello! I'm a tad too shy to ask for help, so I'd like to know how hard Deep Div...
I had this exact same question the other day!
graceful hemlock
DDs are pretty simple on the difficulty scale
edgy night
So, the responded general answer I got was, "Somewhere between Hazard 3 and Hazard 4 with guaranteed mutations." So, if you have a class that you feel super comfortable with, and reasonably can do a Hazard 4, give it a shot
graceful hemlock
I think the DDs only get to like 3.5 HAZ, EDDs get to 5.5 HAZ by the last point
edgy night
I did my first Solo DD the other night with an Engineer, and I felt stressed, but still appropriately tackled
dreamy geyser
Do the rewards differ from DD's and EDD's?
graceful hemlock
No, but their reward tiers are separate
if that makes sense at all
each gives 1 blank, 1 weapon, 1 cosmetic
dreamy geyser
When you say 1 weapon, do you mean an OC?
wraith shard
Do the rewards differ from DD's and EDD's?
The first tier of each gives a Blank, second a Weapon, and third a Cosmetic. So if you only want gun stuff and fail the third tier you still get cores.
Yes an OC
graceful hemlock
yeah, one weapon OC
wraith shard
I never care if I don’t finish a DD so long as I beat the first two tiers tbh.
dreamy geyser
i need to get driller to Prestige ASAP
I cant think of it being fun to solo as Gunner
graceful hemlock
Yeah, some classes are easier solos than others
I think engineer and driller might be the most solo friendly.
I'm no super pro at this so anyone with more brainpower feel free to correct me though.
fresh escarp
Honestly gunner may not be the most mobile but you learn him solo it's just broken
dreamy geyser

Literally 0 challange.

keen moth
i think mach was making a joke that you disagreed on driller primary
i guess in the driller fandom it's a hatfield and mccoy rivalry? lol
zenith warren
yes. drillers have many enemies, such as glyphids, the scout, drillers using other primaries, the scout again, betsy, far away enemies, the scout
keen moth
i feel bad as a scout main lol
i love the tool kit but they seem to bring the least to the team in terms of objectives
feels real bad
zenith warren
scout needs a buff
flat out
his role is weird because running ahead of the team isn't always a great idea and the team will enter almost every room anyways
dull night
What would you suggest?
zenith warren
well, if terrain gen isn't going to be changed to make him more relevant, then give him some utility passive
keen moth
I don't want to go off topic since there's a suggestion channel, but my first inclination was long range x ray scanning
pulses all minerals and things for a period of time in a large radius instead of flare gun
but I do love the flare gun
zenith warren
something that increases his ability to Find Things, yes
dull night
Or
Allow the flare gun to both provide light and send out "sonar pulses" or something to detect minerals, like you said.
He is called the scout
Or simply have an entirely different secondary gadget to equip
zenith warren
just, something
also his weapons need a balance pass
since everyone but him got one in 1.0
merry monolith
Thats not true
Also, devs mentioned they aren't going to do anything expanding the utiltiy equips
dull night
Well I'd figure
radiant nexus
Uhh... I thought you couldn't get resources in Deep Dives?
untold creek
technically regional minerals cant spawn as mineable objects
but, huuli hoarders can spawn
which means you can get biome resources from them
radiant nexus
Interesting.. then the drill may have killed one on our way down
zenith warren
it does indeed
huulis appear to be static to seed, so you should have a dead one upon arrival in DD
radiant nexus
I see, good to know

I feel like mining and egg collection need to be 300-400 and 6/8 respectively to be difficult compared to other objectives.
zenith warren
What build should I be using in EDD for Engi?
whatever you want, really. depends on what OCs you have
tawdry birch
I found it a challenge, but to have gotten within half a mission of finishing my first EDD with my crew made it feel easier than I expected
Did anyone else think that there were so so many Macteras in the middle mission? Felt like it was Sploder infested and mactera plague to us
We did it back to back with the regular DD. haunted cave remains my most hated modifier
dawn sonnet
I think this is the easiest EDD I've ever had
The only time I went down is when I tried power attacking a detonator, it really felt like a slightly harder regular DD
wraith shard
Managed the DD and EDD this morning even with my cat sitting on my keyboard during 3rd stage extract causing me to lose my HUD and the ability to use my laser pointer to find the pod.
wraith shard
Did anyone else think that there were so so many Macteras in the middle mission?...
Yeah they wrecked me. I almost didn’t get the 2nd stage.
wraith shard
Yeah. The cave layout didn’t help either, exploders from all angles. Still made it and the first EDD I’ve solo’d so I’ll take the win. The Dread wasn’t that bad. Once I got him over the mines he just sort of died.
drowsy spruce
EDD dredd, at beginning before wave progression in extraction or do aquarqs first ?
odd rover
PE ramps enemy spawns over time, you need to do dread early to avoid fighting constant enemies for the boss fight.
spare solstice
should you always use ammo overclocks on deep dive or is it silly to overvalue ammo that much?
odd rover
More ammo != higher efficiency.
Run the overclocks which give you either the best efficiency or the most utility (nitra isn't a huge issue either).
obsidian prawn
yeah, nitra spawns are the same as normal caves afaik. if you dont have ammo issues on those, you won't have ammo issues on deep dives
especially if you get an escort mission as your first level, 'cause you'll probably have tons of leftover nitra after that

I agree with @echo edge , we committed the error to not wait for the first wave before we started dredd. Lost theEDD cuz of that, we were running sub 40mins. Around 30mins up to that point

There s often too many bugs when you first drop in, if you start the dread after clearing there s a good chance you ll get the first swarm during the fight

I used warthog no OC, Breach Cutter with the clean ammo/reload OC, Gemini Defender, Proximity mines. Did both solo.
light tree
alone? 2/3/4 man?
Multiplayer. sorry about that, should have been more specific
zenith warren
what do you like most and what OCs you got
because what you're comfortable with is what's going to get you through
and the EDD this week is easier than usual, so it's a good time to give it a try
zenith warren
so what I use is stubby 12112 with em refire and BC with 12112 with high voltage crossover and LUREs
you go flat damage on stubby because it not only lets you hit the swarmer 15 breakpoint, but because extra electricity doesn't... do as much. you already innately have that debuff
and I take the armor shred, not the stun, on BC because of praetorians and more importantly: shellbacks
since you're running super high damage already, nothing survives long enough to be stunned unless it's something like a praetorian anyways
fire one BC line, swap and hose with stubby
for warthog and PGL? don't use them, ask one of the other engi mains in drg chat
return to sender is better than spinning death now
I don't use it because I prefer having a guaranteed source of electrocution and I don't want to have my BC out for more than half a second
but it's fine. I'd consider running extra ammo to mitigate the ammo malus, so the only thing you lose is you don't get a t2 mod there for no downside
natalie is in drg chat right now so you can ask her
vagrant oak
I'm basically Machs anathema then. Since I basically always use Magnetic Shotty and Fat Boy
patent sinew
Well I can’t believe we survived that elite dive
I’m driller. Engineer is a bit trigger happy with fat boy
In cave 2 after we got everything, the scout ran off and tried to kill a hoarder by himself
Didn’t even get a single gem from it
And stage 3. While half our team is down, the gunner decides to go to the egg and activate the dreadnaught
And so me and the engineer died a whopping 8 times from that dreadnaught

It should, yes

You can only get cores from DDs once a week.
(so, max of 9 cores each week, 3 blank + 3 weapon OC + 3 cosmetic, 11 if you include the ones you're rewarded from forging).
rough fossil
sorry, pretty new what do you mean cores?
rough fossil
right
so if i've already done it i cant get anymore?
do you get any rewards addition for EDD? Never done one.
odd rover
If you've already gotten the blank core from the DD this week, you won't be able to get it again until next week when DD resets.
rough fossil
Thanks For clarification
odd rover
EDD and DD are separate, so you can get cores from both of them.
odd rover
DD is 3 -> 3.5 -> 3.5 hazard, EDD is 4.5 -> 5 -> 5.5
rough fossil
danm
odd rover
This week's EDD is pretty easy, though, and if you just want weapon OCs then you only really need the first two stages.
Cosmetic is only really useful for getting forging mastery.
rough fossil
i mean ill go all the way through 😛 just trying to get oc's
odd rover
Yeah, just saying that if the last stage stumps you don't sweat it, it's the hardest part this week.
rough fossil
Appreciate it
zenith warren
if you do everything you should get 3 blanks, 3 weapon ocs, 3 cosmetic ocs, and 2-3 cores from crafting a week
sage vine
@rough fossil you'd be surprised how just being competent outweighs levels. I've played with 5+ prestige scouts that don't flare. I carried my first EDD with 1 star. Dont be afraid to go in, just do your job and that's all you need.

You will eventually run down your possible OCs so that you can get the OCs you actually want, but that may take a while.

You bet, you have to get through ~96 of the things.

You need to have DRG open (probably in lobby) and Discord needs to be able to display that you're playing DRG.
If that's all well and good, if you go into #lfg-steam there should be a small green play button on the plus icon on the left-most side of the chat bubble where you type stuff (the plus itself is for uploading media).
That green play button should let you post game invites via Discord.

For whatever reason I joined EDD lobby with driller that I suck at, even though I didn't plan that at all, and third stage was hell of a crap

Quick question: for DDs and EDDs, is it better to wait till all classes have been promoted, at least, once?

There's nothing forcing you to though but that way you can take up any roles

Nah, I only promoted every class recently and have been doing EDDs for a while now
DDs you should attempt immediately after your first promotion Imo
only do EDDs when you have a lot of confidence in yourself and your builds
fluid lichen
This week is an easy EDD. If you can breeze though Haz 4 you'll be able to manage it.
prisma junco
Huuli Hoarder as well in like the 2nd stage or something

I wonder if it's worth to farm it
fluid lichen
maybe for a driller. kill hoarder, deposit, and C4 out
fluid lichen
really?
prisma junco
yeah for the rewards bonus
fluid lichen
thought you got it as long as you deposit
faster to suicide
Find I get plenty of Jadiz focusing on Caverns/Bogs regardless
prisma junco
it might be faster, but Idk if it's more total loot
fluid lichen
I don't thing the loading screens are quite long enough to outweigh loosing ~100% hazard bonus.
prisma junco
yeah you're probably right
I think this Deep Dive is when I'm going to organize my Melee damage only run
burnt sandal
Better to start as early as possible. Cores are time gated.

1 each for assignment, DD, and EDD respectively

It will take you more time obviously but you're not missing on anything really

other than a lot of fun

@young roost The only benefit to waiting is that you can play every class, but if you only have one class to work w/ then you can just play that one class in a group that happens to need it.

Not really worth farming hoarders in DDs.
I assure you minerals will not be your bottleneck in this game. It's machine events and crates/lost packs.

turbid ginkgo
not sure if this is a common or annoying question
but can someone please explain to me why everybody considers return to sender as a top tier overclock for the BC
i see it in literally every single guide, walkthrough, reddit post, honestly have no idea why its regarded so highly
im also not very experienced at engi but ive been playing for a tad and just got return to sender and it seems like if you're trying to burst something down its far faster to just fire 3 non return to sender shots at something
even then in order to max return to sender efficiency you have to hold LMB which prevents you from turning around in emergency cases where youd like to fire a shot in several directions
people praise it for its ammo efficiency (?) but i dont understand why you wouldn't just go for the increased ammo overclock instead
oh god i posted this in the wrong chat
echo edge
I don t see where you reposted this but to make a short answer there s not many bugs you d want to shoot 3 non rts at it s just a waste of ammo, instead just shoot one rts and finish off with something else
untold creek
Ultimately return to sender almost doubles your dps if positioned well, for a minor ammo cost
it’s usually the best to use if you just want a breach cutter that kills things
echo edge
If you target a pretorian, you d want to get closer to minimize the time you re holding LMB and utilize the projectile's lifetime when it s returning to hit other bugs if you have good positioning
untold creek
But other ocs can work very well
roll control and spinning death are fun
if potentially impractical
odd rover
Extra ammo is always nice, as well. Stock BC is already very strong, so just giving it extra shots isn't a bad idea.
turbid ginkgo
thats all fair enough i guess
honestly i think i just need to be better with control and not a panic spammer
the BC is just so forgiving with its base ammo and damage
echo edge
With rts you get 15 shots dealing 1150 for a total of 17250 with ammo case you get 24 shots dealing 575 for a total of 13 800 dmg
odd rover
Also, if you need to panic fire you don't have to activate RTS even w/ RTS on, you can just tap fire and lose out on damage if it's necessary.
echo edge
The biggest downside to rts imo is the overkill potential, depending on what you re using it on you won t necessarily be dealing the full 1150 DMG if they die on the return

The difficulty at haz5+ is usually more dependent on modifiers than anything else IMO
Mutators, warnings
whatever they're called
feral atlas
It's to the point where it's actually irrelevant on the higher end.
Because stage 3, you drop in with 500+ nitra.
And in the face of that, mutators have no influence.
Not matter how hard or easy the mutator itself is.
Because it's overshadowed heavily by the ability to spam utility that is normally limited by scarcity.
As you go lower down the skill curve, you'll start to see differentiation between the mutators again.
With shieldless and lethal enemies on top, mactera below that, and everything else being a bit of a joke.

In my opinion, it would be great if you could unlock permanent bonuses as soon as you reached certain levels

anyone deep dive
wraith shard
you already do
Unfortunately, perks are the only advancement in the game. I think with level bonuses the motivation would be higher. I have now played 55 hours and only skins are no progress for me.
sleek verge
The progress comes in getting better and being able to handle tough situations
This is an open game where you get what you make of it
The fact that you can enter end game so early is dope, tons of time to explore
Overclocks to get etc
If you're only 55 hours in, you surely have very few of the overclocks
Plus the game is already super balanced
Boosting higher levels does nothing but make it more tiresome to balance an already solid system
This is just one of those games where as you play, you get better rather than your character

How long does it take to complete a normal deepdive?
About an hour or so. It really depends on what missions you get stuck with

depends on ho experienced you are, the haz level for them is pretty low so they go very quickly
if you can do a haz 3 mission fast, you can do the deep dive stages faster in general

IMO gold mining depends on your group. My regular group and I assume you're not a real dwarf if you don't mine gold. But in EDD sometimes things just go too fast and gold veins get missed.
We did lose the driller a few times to "I'll go satchel the vein and I'll be right back!"

Having a ticketing system is standard practice in enterprise environments.
long egret
Do you mean like a general chat with anyone to add to? Do you realize how quickly that would fall apart lol
fiery cedar
I mean, I know of plenty of other games with discords that have a bug chat where you only post if you have a thorough post to make. It's called having an admin? Another, "Standard practice." Or they could have gone the even simpler route and added a bug report ticket system in game like plenty of other platforms. Making a whole third party system with an account requirement is just a great way to deter people from reporting a bug.

for those who thought the EDD was easy (which includes myself), are they normally much harder than that? ive only started doing EDDs again recently

is double exp possible on a deep dive stage

Yes they are usually notably harder. This weeks was basically just 3 haz 4's with a lot of nitra to be completely honest.
So much nitra in fact that on the last stage the dread was probably half killed by the burst from all of the mines.

ok thanks, a lot harder is what i remember experiencing last i played a few months ago. looking forward to more challenge

That's because of the goals tho, morkite is easy. Just clink. The eggs are essentially "choose when the swarm shows up" and gives you tons of control. Aquarqs with Bosco are a non-factor, and solo dreads don't actually have that much health. So the hard part was the black box and the cave leeches. Once we get Doretta back, we will miss the cave leeches.

The next major update will see an overall reduction of nitra spawning for deep dives I believe. Its a change on the experimental branch.

I've heard that as well. I prefer to do my dives solo because of scheduling, so I doubt it will hurt me, but the teams will feel it, I'm guessing.

there werent any debuffs (not sure what to call them, stuff like mactera plague, shield disruption, etc) on this latest EDD iirc
so beyond just objectives, the caves themselves were easier
formal thorn
first stage had Cave Leech Cluster, second stage had Regenerating Bugs, and third stage had no debuffs.

Mission modifiers are called mutators, split up into warnings (always detremental, but also gives extra XP) and anomalies (neutral to purely beneficial, no extra XP)

thanks! easier to explain things when i have the terminology haha
untold creek
Yeah the mutators were kind of light the last 2 weeks
Caveleech is always tricky, and bug regen can be tough
But a stage 3 with no mutators is pretty lenient
and cave leech isn’t too bad for me
It can destroy you if you get caught once, though
formal thorn
The thing about Cave Leech - it does scale with Hazard. iirc EDD goes 4.5 / 5 / 5.5 and the leeches were first stage, so really they weren't that bad. Also, if you get wiped on a leech, they will be in the same spot when you try again and you don't have to redo multiple levels to learn where the leeches are. Leeches on 3rd stage is when they start to hurt.
Leeches on 3rd stage would be pain.

shield disruption third stage with two spitballers right outside

I'm doing my first deep dive, just finished stage 1. Am I supposed to do all stages at once (and how many are there?) or can I take a break and do stage 2 tomorrow?
mystic kiln
You do them all in a row, but if you're busy and need to go off for the time being, you can redo the deep dive to get the other rewards later.
fresh escarp
You know why I keep failing EDDs?
I just... Hate the fact I'm so lonely which puts me in a pissy mood so i fail
