its not so bad honestly
only haz 4.5 and if you keep moving, the enemies shouldnt be much of an issue
the thing thatll get you is maybe lingering too long in the refuel stage
you can also grab the eggs as you hit the button after the refuel to avoid worrying about them before/after
just one big swarm and ur good

edd is pretty easy this time
except if you teammate starts a blackbox next to a dreadnought and breaks the cocoon too for some reason

Best thing happened tonight on dd got bet c on an escort mission and breezed thru it
brazen bough
so betc is rng on dd?
burnt sandal
so betc is rng on dd?
no, it depends on the number of players
Since BET-C, leeches, crassus and spitballer are generated with the map seeds, it's depending on the player number

is the map generation for EDD different for Microsoft vs Steam version? I ran it like 12 times last week and it was just 2 slightly different versions of similar missions

And yet, I ran the same deep dive twice, and the eggs were in different places. /shrug/
(many days apart)
Ran it hours after release on Thursday 3/11, then ran it again with some friends who hadn't done it on the evening of Wednesday 3/17. First time, eggs were together in one chamber, second time they were split up.
I understand how it's /supposed/ to work, but clearly there's something else going on. Perhaps the hotfix on the 15th as was suggested
(and I'm not alone, see #deep-dive-discussion message for example)
ancient beacon
I think hotfixes are the most likely culprit
Maybe they make subtle changes to terrain gen that are not reflected by patch notes

Give it a shot and worst case you fail the first mission. Early on managing to get the second stage done is a big benefit since you get an extra OC. But you still get the OC even if you fail on stage 3. Even the extra core that you can spend in machine event is nice.

vernal glacier
But moderate difficulty
My IRL friend called down about 3 supply pods which we didn't need at end of stage 1 as a goof, we still had loads of nitra throughout the dive.
The drilldozer missions give so much nitra. The EDD we were running out of nitra towards the end, but that is mostly due to a lot of time wasting and bad grenades. Out of last 6 EDDs I have done, this is significantly the easiest.
Maybe it is due to the perks/build your team is taking?
I find there is a huge nitra diff on teams with cryo w/ epc driller vs flame driller/no driller. Cryo is just so efficient

slate mulch
First mission of the weekly core hunt, DD, and EDD
Second gives an overclock, third gives a cosmetic

To clarify you can do the events anyways, and should, but you won't get a reward if u don't have blank cores

what's supposed to not happen ? Losing connection ?
that's on him, not the game

So I’m new, joined during the free weekend, so what’s a Deep Dive? I figure it’s a super long mission, but what specifically is it? More importantly, how much time should I set aside to get one done?
outer fiber
it will take you ~1 hour if you're new to this
deep dives are basically 3 missions in a row, you conserve your nitra, gold, ammos and health between them
once per week you have rewards for completing each 3 missions
you don't have crafting materials, machine events, lost packs or cargo crates in deep dives, so that doesn't replace normal missions, you usually just do them once per week for the rewards
bold tangle
Okay, cool. Thanks for the explanation.
outer fiber

I was mainly concerned about how long it would take to complete.

You get cores at the end of each stage. If you already complete that stage for the week you won't get the core again.

Nope, if you attempt DD and, say clear stage 1, then host cancel, and you retry later, since you already did validate stage 1 you won't have any further reward from it
When you have access to the DD terminal you can check, each DD has a little icon for stage 1 | 2 | 3
If it's greyed out, you didn't earned the reward yet, if it's yellowed, it's done already

They're normal levels back to back where the nitra you collect carries over between each stage, and every stage has a slightly higher hazard level than the last.
Three levels total, and they do not change so you can keep making attempts and learn them for the week they're running.
Since they change each week there's no real strategy to apply to every deep dive, although you can get hints from others who have done them that week to know what's within.

Elite deep dives are hazards 4.5, 5, 5.5 for each of the stages in that order.

I did not even noticed there was always only 1 stop
that's 1 stop since this nerf ye
devs have the stats anyway, they have nerfed it because they felt something had to be done, looking at the winrate of this particular EDD I guess

Yeah I'm joking I see enough people struggling with escort, it was probably a good move from the devs

I suffer 2 stops more than usual because I like solo'ing the game

as for Gunner class, which is better to take with the minigun, cold as the grave or hot bullets?
also
does hot bullets do damage before igniting the target? in the process of building up the heat meter
deft kite
as for Gunner class, which is better to take with the minigun, cold as the grave...
Catg
pastel adder
Catg for sustain, but hot bullets is underrated somewhat
olive dune
so hot bullets does not do extra damage,unless the target has been ignited right?
pastel adder
check the wiki
Venting is underrated as well
Good for securing revives and taking the edge off a horde, 10 meters 1000% fear factor
olive dune
"Rounds fired when the heat meter is red will burn the target"
nothing shows if it does extra damage before igniting the target, but am asking because i notice my DPS is better with hot bullets
nvm , saw it bottom
it does not do extra damage
ok then , thanks will go for Catg
deft kite
Catg for sustain, but hot bullets is underrated somewhat
It isn't underrated its average at best
olive dune
i think allowing it to ignite faster would be better,most of the time they die before even taking damage from fire damage

Something that needs a buff isn't underrated

nastiest deep dive my group has encountered. we got to the last stage, all eggs in, but no resupply to fight the dreadnought. at least a hundred deaths between us 4

just about this close to giving up on the EDD already.

'Cause difficulty scales up the more you are, if teammates happen to be a downside, better be solo

Same
quiet wyvern
How many drilldozers do we have to get in order to see none at some point huh?
gleaming tinsel
Fun fact. Since the release of Morkite well and Drill Dozer only 2 separate weeks have seen NO Drill Dozer.
Wait....
That's not a fun fact
quiet wyvern
No, it's terrible in fact
burnt sandal
it is a fun fact for me 
quiet wyvern
I guess so
gleaming tinsel
Question tho
Do the Devs look over the Deep Dive missions before releasing them?
Or is it a point blank rng release machine?
quiet wyvern
Seems random to me
gleaming tinsel
They need to curve the rng on Drill Dozer.
frosty vapor
thatd be edds as well then
burnt sandal
they discover them each week as the same time we do, in their stream
frosty vapor
impressive imo
some of the generated placements are really good
drill dozer missions are uh
well
gleaming tinsel
impressive imo
All well and true. But 2 things that tick people off are repeat missions that dont put spacing in between them.
And an objective you cannot control 80% of its execution
burnt sandal
there are 7 different primary objectives in DDs, with 6 missions total if you count both type of DD
it's likely you'll see at least one escort mission every week
frosty vapor
yea
i mean i dont like
dozer missions
but
engi alone makes it a lot easier
but the enemy placements and such are impressive to me sometimes
rng knows how to kill players
quiet wyvern
I hate dozers too, I only at least tolerate them, nothing but expendable machines
gleaming tinsel
I love the RNG aspect of the bugs. Can tolerate Molly getting in the way. And at this time. Dispise Drill escort
quiet wyvern
Glad I'm not alone on that
frosty vapor
oh molly loves getting in the way
gleaming tinsel
oh molly loves getting in the way
I adore the line "I wanna punch the guy in RND who programmed Molly" I love how the Devs are aware of that.
Not much they can do

and if i solo it, it doesnt solve much cuz the oil is still on THE CEILING, GSG ...
you can ping bosco to mine it

Maybe we should just skip them, give em' a break for once, I mean it's not like they are required anyway
idle warren
i'd skip if it was Stage3 cuz i only want the weapon cores
i'll try getting bosco to mine the shale
i'm not giving him expert tho
burnt sandal
I think I had only one escort so far where my team really was doing nothing
idle warren
i've seen too many times where both batteries are still dead in the dozer, the scout is off getting nitra (ok, no problem here), the gunner is mining gold and the engi is spending 5 minutes doing platforms and sentries when that takes 1 minute at most
so i'll take a battery and drill off, come back 2 minutes later with it filled to find the other battery still dead in the dozer
like we all need nitra. most of the times we have leftover but everyone needs nitra. never gonna spit at extra nitra.
but gold? do we really need to waste time on gold in the EDD
quiet wyvern
Well at that point I wouldn't think so, but some folks get it for extra creds, I would
quiet wyvern
4!
idle warren
How many at once?
quiet wyvern
Jesus, that just makes me feel uneasy
upbeat fable
2 when we did predrill into first stop
supple quarry
You have plenty of time to waste to get gold, I mine all the ones I see, we're only 2 in the party
And we still spend very reasonable time in the edd
upbeat fable
and then 1 on actual stop and 1 before pillars stage
idle warren
Gold should be on the way back since Molly is slow
Batteries should be priority so you're not sitting and waiting for more waves to waste ammo on
upbeat fable
Also you can lower the black box to get a much more managable location
idle warren
I love black box, feels like mercy
supple quarry
My point is, w/e you feel like mining or not, I do take my time in EDD, I mine everything, I backtrack a lot, we're trolling each other with my teammate, and we're far away from lacking time
So you do you, min/max the way you feel it works the best for you, but I sense that it's more a team issue rather than an escort issue
supple quarry
i don't know even when I'm on oil duty with like a gunner, it doesn't take me that much time, from what I read <so i'll take a battery and drill off> you were driller, it should take you 1m per battery, nothing I feel like worth complaining about
Don't misunderstand me, I know with random things can be a bit frustrating sometimes, my point is it's easy and trendy to point the escort for such things when from my pov the issue is somewhere else
finite vigil
escort missions are bad in any game
period
especially when the thing you have to escort is a whiny bitch who can't defend themselves cough Ashley cough
cobalt fiber
Not a fan of new mission types either. Lot's of busywork, which takes away the fun.

and the other thing that I see too often that pisses me off is people refueling one canister at a time
they forget to get the other one out
it's like it's legit my responsibility to refuel the other one every single time

I mean, define "bad"
I enjoy escort
cobalt fiber
I enjoy the end battle. I hate refuelling, hate waiting to get to the heartstone.
finite vigil
so anyway, last couple of swarms I had getting the eggs for the last EDD
cobalt fiber
I hate building pipelines for the refinery, especially if it's all vertical.

And some people hate the final battle, I feel like it's almost subjective
finite vigil
2 of my teammates overwhelmed
craters everywhere
I'm low on health as well
dozens of bugs coming after me
idk how I managed to stay alive
finite vigil
at least there's no dreadnought objective for this EDD
finite vigil
how so?
deft kite
because dread are easy to fight
finite vigil
just one enemy to worry about?
deft kite
well with the twin more than one but as long as you keep shooting both of them it's pretty easy
hiveguard too
finite vigil
the twins are the ones I always worry about
having to keep an eye on both at the same time
deft kite
the big problem is people when they are aggroed keep trying to shoot the dread
finite vigil
trying to dodge the Lacerator while avoiding those AoEs from Arbalest
deft kite
when the dread is aggroed on you the only thing you need to do is run away from your team so it's back is exposed
this is only valid for hiveguard and og dread
finite vigil
the OG Dread on 5.5 tho
deft kite
twin dread you just need to shoot it
finite vigil
he is fast as fuck boi
supple quarry
Slow solo, fast in a party
But in a party the one aggroed is a lure, so it doesnt matter
finite vigil
maybe I should get the scout to aggro him while I light up his ass
finite vigil
yeah if you keep shooting him
^
supple quarry
Nah Darkfiremat mean by that is if you spend time shooting, that's time you don't spend running, so yeah he will feel quick
deft kite
yeah well if you're trying to shoot him instead of running he'll seem very fast
finite vigil
o, felt like he was saying that dread aggros whoever was shooting him more
deft kite
no
finite vigil
damn
deft kite
dread has random aggro
you know the aggro on you when he suddenly start spitting fire ball at you and running at you
kind of a dead giveaway (especially if you don't dodge or run heuheuheuheueheh)
also you can proc his ground attack sometime when he charges by just getting close then running back
finite vigil
finite vigil
also you can proc his ground attack sometime when he charges by just getting clo...
ah I see
deft kite
it'll make him stop moving and give your team a great opportunity to light it up
i'd suggest not doing it if you don't know what the ramp up of the attack looks like because he also has a regular melee bite
finite vigil
just isn't ideal when he's going after a gunner like me
deft kite
why ?
wraith shard
Just did EDD, pretty hard. The one time I was glad bulks spawned. Used a bulk explosion to instakill the lacerator. Arbalest barely survived. 8/10 for that alone
finite vigil
cos it's less damage going into him while I'm having to run
finite vigil
ye, but isn't gunner one of the main damaging classes
deft kite
yeah but who cares
finite vigil
ok?
deft kite
if you don't run you die
supple quarry
The dread doesnt care haha
finite vigil
well yeah.
deft kite
and then your team has to rez you
finite vigil
fair enough.
deft kite
while being attacked by the dread and you won't do dmg
supple quarry
You will have your time when he releases the aggro
deft kite
when he's not aggroed on you, you'll have all the time in the world to deal dmg
also
don't be on a rope during dread fight it's the dumbest thing
finite vigil
I'm still trying to get my head wrapped around making a build for deep dives, since you can't switch loadouts inbetween each bit
deft kite
you don't need a build for every situation
supple quarry
If your team respect the OG enough, and everyone accept to run as a lure when it's their time, it won't be much more of a big chunky bug that run around and does nothing else
finite vigil
you don't need a build for every situation
I know, just wanna make sure that my build can handle mobs and dreads equally
ain't got any other OC for my thundercannon but splintering shells has been serving me well
deft kite
a little more oomph(good for every situation) or exhaust vectoring(better for macteras) lead storm (great if you know how to use shield)
splintering shells works for everything
burnt sandal
I know, just wanna make sure that my build can handle mobs and dreads equally
TBH, minigun would be a better pick for that but I guess splintering shells is good enough as well
depends on what you prefer to deal with quickly
deft kite
yeah splintering shreds big boi a bit faster than CB
finite vigil
I prefer blowing up mobs quickly
finite vigil
isn't that worse than splintering tho
burnt sandal
CB won't let you deal well with big bugs though
deft kite
no
deft kite
thing is you have a sidearm
finite vigil
true, true
deft kite
splintering shell doesn't deal as well with mobs
finite vigil
meh, it's worked fine for me
deft kite
the idea when you run CB is shred armor with main finish with sidearm
viral tulip
Doesn't do it as well isn't the same as doesn't do it well
deft kite
since you should be running born ready the sidearm will always be filled anyway
and ready to shred
viral tulip
Compared to CB, SS is worse at dealing with groups
finite vigil
only have so much ammo with the Bulldog anyway
viral tulip
But it's an AC mod that boosts AOE, it's still real good at dealing with mobs
deft kite
something like 13231 BRT with composite casing
finite vigil
I'll have to see what CB is like when I get a hold of it
finite vigil
you mentioned shredding armour - does CB have bigger armour-breaking potential?
deft kite
your team will have little to no pressure and all the time i the world to focus the big boi
no but you run AB on AC
finite vigil
ah ok
burnt sandal
Why run AB on the AC if you carpet bomber though ?
viral tulip
Pervert wants to see naked bugs
deft kite

deft kite
Why run AB on the AC if you carpet bomber though ?
because it shreds

the dives this week look pretty manageable, anyone have tips?

because you still need a way to deal with anything big
and tearing off armor is essential
burnt sandal
Well I just shoot the weakpoint

Just walk behind it
as if it was the only thing in the way
burnt sandal
I can see the point on minigun for AB because there is the slowdown and the spinuptime
finite vigil
and tearing off armor is essential
good point
deft kite
I can see the point on minigun for AB because there is the slowdown and the spin...
give it a try you'll see
viral tulip
You're running CB, it should be the only thing in the way by the time you have to deal with it
burnt sandal
I did
never saw the point unless you pick it for your team
If you go for support this is indeed strong
viral tulip
.6m radius increase is like a 50% increase in the area of the damage
burnt sandal
guess I'll have to try again
viral tulip
that's pretty significant
deft kite
500%
viral tulip
Ok?
deft kite
every one of those shells that hit guard or big boi will lose between 100% and 50% dmg
sure you'll do aoe
but you're still losing either half your direct dmg or all of your direct dmg
i get that CB is about aoe but don't neglect your direct dmg
finite vigil

Although with a cryo driller in the party you don’t really need to take off armor as the frozen status bypasses it.

Solo sounds fun but I hate the time factor.
halcyon nacelle
I don't mind the time factor I'd like to move at my pace and not have to potentially deal with rands.
And I can't always depend on those friends I have that play the game, I don't know when they'll be online.
shrewd belfry
Hey uh I have a question, can I start doing EDD even though I still have no good OCs ? Do OCs make such a difference that I won't succeed in the haz 5.5 phase ? Also, what should a PR30 do to not get insta kicked when I join a server ?
halcyon nacelle
Nah.
OC don't make or break runs into the planet. They are things that aid or change the way you do things.
Not having access to great ones isn't a detriment.
And I'm not sure what a PR30 is.
scarlet jewel
Player rank 30 perhaps?
halcyon nacelle
That adds up.
Just pray really.
If you can type something in chat or have a mic connected and say something smart or endearing that might up your chances.

Simplest way to get around the player level crap is to host your own EDD run in #lfg-steam, make it clear you’re lower rank, and welcome others

I just finished both the EDD and DD, and the DD feels like it's on haz 2

Not gonna bother stressin.
feral atlas
EDD done. Not that bad tbh.
astral gyro
I think Driller mostly shine in everymission though, except Dreadnaught which giving him a little hard time.
feral atlas
driller is more mutator and enemy specific than mission type specific
he's mainly important if the map has a high swarmer/squishies count
like parasites
tawdry quest
Driller's great for Escort
tawdry quest
keeping swarmers/grunts off of the team while they shoot rocks is nice too
scarlet willow
hes nice for beamers and theres a bug for rocks thats cheesy
tawdry quest
and this week's edd escort has parasites, so Driller is good for that as well
Also TCF EPC can kill two beamers at once
Or he can just drill the beamer down in a second
So yeah
He's good for more than just fueling lol
on escort
Gunner is still the star of the show
But driller makes his job a lot easier during the fighty bits
Refueling is just the part that Driller excels at
feral atlas
keeping swarmers/grunts off of the team while they shoot rocks is nice too
sentries and mines can basically do the same thing
not saying he's bad
but engi and gunner are still the main classes
tawdry quest
Yeah I agree
feral atlas
parasites are like swarmers and jellies, just more kill count stuffing for the turrets

Have the Devs said anything about making a harder version of EDD? I know they are helping modders with support, but it would be cool to have a super hard mode which people should expect to fail
I always have the most fun on an EDD where you nearly fail, but just win.
feral atlas
No mention, and it's honestly a bad idea. Unless it's premade only.
hot jewel
On a scale of 1-10 how hard is EDD this week?
wraith shard
it's not that bad actually. End up with a lot of nitra even with not so good team
a lot of bulk tho somehow
finite vigil
and they apparently mostly come up in the escort missions

Can anyone recommend a guide on the EPC with thin containment? I've been practicing and I absolutely cannot seem to get it to work more than like 1 of 15 shots lol.

fire parallel to what you want to mine, not directly at it.
Also make sure your ping is good. Hard to hit a precise target if its teleporting around

was anyone else able to make a smiley face with how much nitra we mined in the normal DD? 900 Nitra so much I dont get why we get so much of it

Thanks for the links!

I don't draw faces 😄 but there is too much of it indeed , very often we end up with 600/900 nitra

@rose raven wow already got it thanks to the video!
dapper tundra
any recommendations on which class i should pick to try solo this week's edd? i just wanna get the blank matrix core
weapon core too
severe spruce
idk i did gunner autocannon neurotoxin and brt7 lead spray
warped rune
well, this edd wasnt too nightmarish
lots of eggs tho
we gonna have plenty omelettes
versed kindle
you can ping bosco to mine it
From what I've seen, Bosco actually mines shale faster than a regular pickaxe.

On a scale of 1-10 how hard is EDD this week?
i found the first stage the hardest, the escort is just a standard EDD escort so ymmv, driller helps a lot with the parasites
jade lotus
oof had an unfortunate end to a solo DD. I really shouldn't tackle those until I'm more familiar with haz4
Basicly, nearly out of ammo, fell down a hole, rollers knocking me about and the icing on the cake is a cave leech
sudden bronze
New EDD is much more manageable than the last two. Pretty glad about that given I lack a lot of weapon OCs
versed kindle
I'm not sure why everyone is saying that EDD has too much nitra. First mission we could only find around 240 nitra. Nowhere near close to these levels that some people are talking about.
