You make the map easy to fight on, you have wave clear from cryo that’s nearly OP, you are the backbone of speed running egg/point extraction, you can make refinery a breeze with double wide tunnels to the pump jacks, and I could go on for hours tbh. If you ever want to gang up for driller time HMU. I hardly play anything else anymore.
DD this week was cake and EDD was basically just H4. If your team knows it’s roles, you will clobber it.
Drilling ahead on the dozer on EDD also helped a lot IMO. Drill to the refuel room and then go back.

there is not really a class "most benificial to the team" they all have their role. don't worry about that and pick driller, it has insane crowd control and swarmers are irrelevants with you
you also make paths easier to take in the compacted dirt than with a pickaxe, and you can drill your team to the droppod at the end if necessary, along with a lot of other utilities
short charm
is Gas Recycling for Zhuks any good?
It is one o f my most used overclocks. Yes, you lose the weakpoint bonus damage on all targets, but I've found that this doesn't matter much at all. I use the following setup. M1000 + Electrocuting Focus Rounds + Blowthrough rounds + Precision terror. Zhukovs + Gas Recycling + blowthrough (must have, turns the weapon into a scary trash clearer when you've got an IFG on the ground) + reduced recoil (must have, without this you miss too many shots) + extra ammo + conductive bullets. IFG grenades. It's a jack of all trades kind of setup, it'll deal nicely with big targets (M1000 focus shots at weakpoints. And if you're close, the electric damage will also give your zhukovs the conductive bullets bonus. Basically, one focus shot, then ammo dump into the target, finish with pickaxe power attack if needed) but can also deal nicely with swarms. The main benefit I find with Gaas Recycling, is that with blowthrough rounds and IFG grenades, it'll chew through hordes of enemies with ease. And as a huge bonus, each shot can kill up to two swarmers, whereas the stock Zhukovs always needed two shots per swarmers. So I find this to be a very efficient and capable combo.

Well I must've gotten lucky, I did the EDD with a crew of 3 and we got it all on the first try. I was the weakest of the 4 as driller, but didn't have the right perks either, so I paid a heavy price and died 9 times. By the 3rd stage though I was fine, even when a bulk literally dropped on top if us. A good team can save the whole mission.

probably because it's the new mission that took a lot of effort and time to create and if I had to guess it's the least played mission type outside of dives.
so it gets put into dives in order to get it played
it should just be moved to always be the first or third stage tbh. So either you beat it and it's over, or it's the third and you can just not care if you fail.

Thats cool and all, i get the Devs tought process and all, but the fact that over the last 12 EDDs over 80 % has the Dozer in it gets real stale real fast
thorn epoch
but if they have another new mission type that is generally more fun, why would you force your playerbase to play the less enjoyable mission types almost every single time?
I get that they worked hard to code it in the game and it's a really good concept, and I love the 'bossfight' at the end, but the escort part is just annoying

I don't disagree with you. If I could buy another copy of the game as a DLC and never have to play Doretta again I would.
sleek verge
Thankfully it goes kinda quick if everyone stays on the dozer and u rush the refuel
The double refuels were terrible
weak dune
Doretta is fine on a full team imo
the problem is when you do duos or solo
doretta becomes sort of.. harder :p
solemn yacht
doretta is mostly fine imo apart from the tedious oil shale bits
doretta missions don’t have much variety to them either
weak dune
other missions become tighter but the difficulty feels more about your own performance, doretta makes that feel more of a doretta giving you a fuck you 😄
solemn yacht
spawn the dozer, ride the dozer, fuel the dozer, ride the dozer, dig the stone, drop pod
that’s pretty much it
sometimes there’s an event
sleek verge
vs spawn in, grab the eggs, deposit the eggs, drop pod
or mine the morkite, drop pod
or collect the blue things, defend, drop pod
azure slate
I'd say most other mission types are at least interesting in that they force you to explore a little bit (other than like, mini mules)
doretta you just kinda sit in 1 place the whole time effectively
sleek verge
yeah, if you have a worse group you end up fucking around a bit more
my point was that if youre being reductive, everything is boring
sleek verge
yeah idk what the fix is to make the escort/refuel more interesting
love the concept but it is hard to implement to make it as varied as the other missions
ig their simplicity and lack of structure lends to more opportunities for shenanigans
azure slate
yeah, I think if there were some more active dynamic at play for fuel that incentivizes faster completions to prevent it from stopping, that'd be cool
or if doretta needed less babysitting
something like that
being able to travel alongside the dozer and keep it fueled actively, instead of mission phases
ig that requires way different map generation tho
sleek verge
that would definitely be interesting
and maybe not, oil shale is in every cave
you could maybe be able to detach a cannister and leave another one in
and maybe doretta would be slower for a period but back to full power once u put the second back in
pastel wasp
blast from the past question, did the first EDD come out in the same update as the DD's?

lucid mango
Host your own dives is the only solution.
sonic terrace

lucid mango
I will add that calling an individual resupply in dives is heavily frowned upon since the totals are kept across the missions.
sonic terrace
it was in a swarm though
also we had agreed on going to that area when a swarm came
formal thorn
More context is probably needed.
but Nidhogg is right, if this is something that you feel strongly about just host.
lucid mango
More context is probably needed.
Almost certainly. Lot of factors can play in. Distance from group, history of run, etc.
sleek verge
Hosting is definitely the way to go. Without more context it hard to say whether or not it's was just a case of the host thinking it would be easier overall without shenanigans
sonic terrace
its still 50 minutes in the mission was over

Maybe the previous 50 minutes had some shenanigans as well? Idk, you were the one who was there

brazen forge
So if anyone wants to try and get the 'do it for karl' achievement, I've found a pretty cheesy way to do it. Pick an open map with on-site refining with scout solo, put down pipes as fast as you can, then make bosco build and repair the pipes while you zipline around the map avoiding all enemies. It helps if there are no major threat spawns at the start like spitter, breeder, or nexus'
azure slate
I did it a while back by doing point extraction w/ gunner solo, just set up a zipline away from all walls and surfaces and tell bosco to grab all the aquarqs
can use a shield to put them away, then just hop back up on the zippy and chill until escape

we never went below 400 nitra the entire EDD

The main issue with stage 2 is how freaking annoying goo & plants are

that is a fantastic way to get snuffed out
walk over the supply pods path one time during the entire dive, and the game checkpoints you back to it the second it's landing xD

if you can stay on top with the low oxygen and you're comfortable with H5, it's no problem at all

Low O2 PE is the regular DD
EDD is shield disruption escort
Some of the rooms are gigantic, but there's nothing particularly annoying about it from what I can remember

proven cloud
final room is rough, can't have anyone going down when the small guys start swarming
odd comet
Second stage wasn't too bad
The refuel room was one of those annoyingly large rooms, so unless you predrill, you're almost certain to have to fight a swarm during the refuel phase
But it wasn't too bad, even without predrilling. No really nasty surprises apart from a big fall in the first room you drill to if you aren't careful
feral atlas
EDD-2 honestly just needs the same strat as any haz5 salvage defense
Repellent plats to funnel, mines in the appropriate spots, etc
strong sequoia
anyone else have over 7 resuplies on the last stage for the EDD
tawdry quest
Honestly
The most threatening thing is taking chip damage from the poison mushrooms
I didn't find this week's EDD to be that hard, mostly thanks to the huge nitra surplus
It's just long
and tiring
Third stage is Rich Atmosphere Elim + Morkite
The dreadnoughts are Twins and Classic
Rich Atmo lets you kite them really easily
Both dreadnought eggs are close to the starting point, too, so you can easily kite back and fight them there
The most threatening thing in stage 3? Two cave leeches positioned by the egg down the leftside tunnel (if your perspective is from when you exit the pod)
They're hidden by foliage hanging from the ceiling

Why was the 2nd objective on all 3 stages of deep dive morkite mining?
Why does management need so much morkite

Hello, quick question
Can someone join a deep dive during stage 1? or only in drop ship?

Can someone join a deep dive during stage 1? or only in drop ship?
In my experience, you can’t join a deep dive once the launch countdown completes in the space rig.
(Oddly the wiki doesn’t seem to mention this)
magic tapir
I think the deep dives are way to generous in nitra excess of 900 nitra last week (11 supply drops) this week 400 so excess of 5 supply drops
I'd say a nerf of 20% would be enough.. maybe more

I mean, a bad teammate will be bad regardless of their class
Public lobbies in drg is definitely a grab bag, gotta be ready for some shenanigans/carrying if you make a public lobby
short charm
Ive lost MANY Salvage missions because of bad engineers that build low ceilings on top of uplinks, which means we cant shoot the bugs until theyre literally in our face. Also. In a game last night, a driller decided that instead of letting the fuel uplink stay up near a ledge next to the drop pod, he would instead drill it further down. Now we had to fight inside a swiss cheese, with a huge hole at the bottom that you could fall into. Needless to say, as soon as the bugs got too close, it was impossible to defend this. I only allow this to happen, to let people learn what doesnt work. But it wont keep me from playing with engineers and drillers in the future.
With that said, never had any huge issues with EDDs, even with a bad teammate on the team. Gotta allow people to make mistakes in order to learn. To be fair, not sticking to an established plan is very dumb and a valid complaint.
leaden cypress
i recall a driller doing this in the freaking DD stage 1
like dude it's Haz3/Haz3.5 why would you freak out to the point of making a bunker
lyric pumice
i dont mind new guys, i even had lobbies with 3 new scouts and had to carry them
but when i repeat the plan more than 2 times and people still dont bother to read and they do things that hinder everybodies time then i got a problem with that
because lets be honest EDD doesnt let u go to the mission u died at, u have to do it all over again

Shield disruption was brutal
I tried going scout on the first one, but nobody else was dealing with the enemies so I kept getting exploded

You can gunner as solo even with vertical map, it ain't a problem
you'll always have an excess of ammo, and thus, of ziplines

of course he still works and is viable, im just saying id advise against him on certain maps due to it feeling tedious and taking a lot more time

it takes time but it's more reliable. No risk of messing a platform jump or a grapple. It has pros and cons and the zipline can actually end up saving you a lot of time, especially during escapes

Which is why dread on point extract is so fucking bad

Which is why dread on point extract is so fucking bad
oh jeez
I never thought about that
you'd have to time the cocoon-popping right
weak dune
just open it asap
you got the nitra
the way I do PE + dread is:
- check minimap from the pod
- open the egg
- fight
- ??
- profit

I hate mactera. so. much.
Unless I'm playing particular classes I feel completely ineffective against them.

mactera plague is the devil
and it's solely because of trijaws
I didn't even mind it that much before trijaws were added
The damage per projectile isn't so bad
I don't know why they deal splash damage though
Trijaws are overtooled for their anti-sidestep role
The dance GSG wants you to do with trijaws is sidestep slightly to avoid the middle shot, then step back to dodge the side shots
but then they have splash on top of that
And all three spines can hit you very easily at close range
Should have given brundles the splash damage imo

more like : run in a straight line toward them
tawdry quest
That's not always possible
And is also risky if multiple trijaws are tracking you at once
idk why everyone always gives that dvice, its not consistent
You're explicitly supposed to sidestep back and forth because the side shots are delayed
burnt sandal
it's just as consistent as dodging by circling 🤷♂️
and sidestepping
the rules still applies : not always possible and riskier with multiple trijaws
tawdry quest
Besides, it's bunk advice if you're fighting a cloud of them near a cliff
I just think they do too much for a single enemy unit
Meanwhile, all Brundles do is live longer than your average mactera
And they don't have visual/audio tells for when they attack
I think I'd be fine with trijaws if their spit didn't have splash
Just makes fighting them on latency worse too
forest temple
Yep...it's the Trijaws, although I also think that goo bombers are a tad spongey. I generally don't like enemies that limit mobility anyway, and they take too long to kill solo.
tawdry quest
Interesting, we got a grunt swarm during the hiveguard fight on stage 3
I thought that's not supposed to happen?
Maybe the "no swarms during boss" rule doesn't apply if the boss is a secondary objective
forest temple
If I'm driller, mactera are a joke. Scout isn't bad. You'd think gunner would be great but they dodge too well and if the shield isn't charged the trijaws will get you in one shot.

gotta shoot the sack
forest temple
Sure, but if I'm the engie and they're even mid range it sucks. They're not really worth the elephant rounds with gunner, but the primaries don't reliably hit those spots unless they're close anyway. With driller I freeze them up close or use mactera poisoned rounds at range. With the scout it's shotgun up close and assault rifle at range.
tawdry quest
Unless you have breach cutter
Otherwise yeah
BC solves all problems though
it, too, is overtooled
forest temple
Breach cutter I'll shoot at tight swarms, but I kind of hoard those rounds unless it's a big enemy.
I found myself wishing for something like the TF2 Engineer's Wrangler
(Manual control of turret for those that don't know. More powerful but has a latent period if you stop controlling it.)

"why communicating before the deep dive is important"
tawdry quest
I think he said he'd bunker it after he had actually made the bunker
Because I turned around and it was already underground
ffs he joined my game again
alright let's see what happens this time
thick ridge
100% he's going to attempt to team kill everyone midway through
burnt sandal
ffs he joined my game again
boot him.
tawdry quest
I'm expecting a c4 on me before I get to the pod every time
he's gettin the shoe if he does
I'll give him one more chance

has anyone had the drilldozer explode on them when they started it?

im pissed cuz i was on the last stage of the dive and it blew up in my face

thick ridge
Wait is he trying to bunker on stage 1
tawdry quest
yes lol
It's literally a straight sightline in either direction
There is no need to bunker
And there are bulks in the spawn table
lmao he left on stage 2
why even bother sticking around for stage 1
Confusing individual

lookin forward to elite tris in future elite dives
tris probably already count as elite enemies

this EDD was great
it went so smoothly
and we ended by killing the Hiveguard with a Detonator explosion

fun edd this week
this is the first stage
with a random dread spawn as a wave
3rd stage we mistimed the dread and fought it with a praetorian wave
and we wanted to get everyone on the pod and our gunner had the infinite falling glitch
we ended up all in the pod 😄
odd comet
Not always
There's a small chance of a dread spawning instead of a swarm on Mining Expeditions and Point Extraction

Final mission edd we get a random dreadnaught spawn wave WHILE fighting the actual dreadnaught.... needless to say we didn’t make it 🥲 it was chaos.

what overclock should i use with plasma charger gun?
ive seen people mining with it and i dont know how lol

HOW DO I MINE WITH EPC???
In order to mine ore and destroy terrain with the Experimental Plasma Charger, you must take the Tier 5 upgrade Thin Containment Field. In order to utilize it, you must land an uncharged shot on a charged projectile (not the only method to trigger the effect but by far the easiest) as it comes close to the desired ore vein \ terrain, but not after the charged shot lands. This requires timing and some practice.

Glad to have an easy Deep Dive this week.
