i mean that

#

i beat first and eventually second mission

#

failed on third mission

#

not interested in trying edd again

#

since i already got the weapon overclocks

Bring heightened senses if they rly give you serious trouble

mellow flicker May 12, 2021, 1:39 PM

#

medic gives better overall utility in EDD

#

and dash

#

but yes if i had a third or so

quaint lake May 12, 2021, 2:07 PM

#

holy fuck, I did it

#

deep dive

#

melee only

#

well, tbh, mostly melee only, cuz fuck second stage

#

I did beat first dread without using guns

#

but when it spawned another one right when I activated the black box

#

fuck that

#

I used guns for the duration of the black box, then went back to full melee

#

and also used a gun twice on the 3rd stage, to kill the ceiling leech shithead and 1 mactera grabber

#

the fight for the black box was absolute fucking shitshow

#

glyphid blood in me beard, this whole thing was pure insanity

shadow shoal May 12, 2021, 2:58 PM

#

So not REALLY melee only

#

Try again

odd sphinx May 12, 2021, 3:01 PM

#

should also record it so we can see you fight in Karl's honour

quaint lake May 12, 2021, 3:17 PM

#

I did record it

#

it's just real long, need to upload it on YouTube

mellow flicker May 12, 2021, 5:01 PM

#

quaint lake holy fuck, I did it

Nice!!!!!

#

idk why the other people are acting kinda weird about it

#

this is hella impressive

#

even if it wasn't full melee only

odd sphinx May 12, 2021, 5:09 PM

#

what is the timer for weekly reset?

quaint lake May 12, 2021, 5:21 PM

#

it's once per week

#

week only started

#

odd sphinx what is the timer for weekly reset?

Elite deep dive without killing any wild life? Anyone? mboi

willow vector May 12, 2021, 7:39 PM

#

So what's the consensus on Beastmaster

#

It seems awfully useful for having another thing bugs will munch on

#

And chip damage is damage so

odd sphinx May 12, 2021, 7:40 PM

#

pretty good both solo and higher hazards

willow vector May 12, 2021, 7:40 PM

#

Cuz I keep getting my ass whooped on EDD 3

odd sphinx May 12, 2021, 7:40 PM

#

guard glyphid rather tanky

#

useless on detonator warning

buoyant wing May 12, 2021, 7:41 PM

#

hit or miss, steeve can be an annoyance and a boon, I feel like he shines more on solo/duo because there aren't nearly as many bugs so their presence is more noticeable

odd sphinx May 12, 2021, 7:41 PM

#

the last stage of edd i just used gunner with zipline abuse

willow vector May 12, 2021, 7:41 PM

#

Right now I don't really see much reason to run anything that isn't Thorns/Vamp with Iron Will and Medic, but I wonder if Beastmaster could fit somewhere

odd sphinx May 12, 2021, 7:41 PM

#

bosco alerted me to the flying whale so quickly dealt with that

buoyant wing May 12, 2021, 7:41 PM

#

other times I try to revive somebody and put bullets in my mate trying to revive him because steeve's butt was in the way

odd sphinx May 12, 2021, 7:41 PM

#

if enemies swarmed zipped away and shot them with autocannon

#

and slide back down to continue on the mules

#

had bosco grab the eggs in the meantime

odd sphinx May 12, 2021, 7:42 PM

#

willow vector Right now I don't really see much reason to run anything that isn't Thorns/Vamp ...

i mean, if you are solo for sure, no reason to use medic

#

additionally, if you are in a team, they can run medic instead of you

#

4 man medic not really needed if all 4 of you are reviving anything, it is only really beneficial if you are reviving alone

#

and while still good, i personally think not needed with full party

#

esp if you have 1 scout

#

scout does it his own stuff

willow vector May 12, 2021, 7:44 PM

#

I've been thinking that I'll change out Medic for BM

odd sphinx May 12, 2021, 7:44 PM

#

while the defending party can have 1 or 2 people medic

#

and 3rd person can run something else

willow vector May 12, 2021, 7:45 PM

#

Hm

#

Guess we just need to work on teamcomp a little more

#

As of late it's been mostly Iron Will/Medic on everyone

odd sphinx May 12, 2021, 7:46 PM

#

yea on the last stage, i feel you honestly need your team to get down to the mule and eggs asap

#

there will be 2 eggs you can only get near the droppod

#

but you need that jellyfish breeder dead like yesterday

#

from there i would suggest repair the mules first

#

then pop the eggs

#

if you have a zipline to go from the spawn room down

#

cause there is a giant hole

#

that would be helpful for kitting

#

can just shoot while on the zip

#

only have to be mindful for ranged attacks

willow vector May 12, 2021, 7:48 PM

#

Wonder if it's worth running the "take more damage before falling off" zip line

#

Instead of speed

#

Something tells me it doesn't make a difference but I haven't tested it on high haz

odd sphinx May 12, 2021, 7:48 PM

#

if you are paying attention

#

you can actually regrab the zipline

willow vector May 12, 2021, 7:48 PM

#

yeah

odd sphinx May 12, 2021, 7:48 PM

#

additionally as a tactic

#

i put a second zip underneath

#

incase i miss

#

esp during dread fights

willow vector May 12, 2021, 7:49 PM

#

Oh yeah I do that

#

Extra line and some engi platforms

odd sphinx May 12, 2021, 7:49 PM

#

you dont fall too fast to not be able to grab the 2nd zip

#

the speed will only matter when going up

#

since you can rush down

#

so you can try the fall damage one

#

engie platforms fi you are worried

#

since it is the last stage, i would also recommend setting up your resupply drops

willow vector May 12, 2021, 7:51 PM

#

Is there a good bit of Nitra in the EDD or is it tight

odd sphinx May 12, 2021, 7:51 PM

#

even without the perk, setting down a gunner shield will usually last long enough for free heal and ammo

#

fairly good amount, shouldnt run into trouble

#

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/838578855915946004/840316009307045929/unknown.png

#

oh sorry LMAO

#

ive been mxing up the stages

#

been giving advice on stage two

#

but honestly, stage 1 and stage 2 can be done rather quickly

#

even if ther eis barely any nitra, you should be fine

#

same tactic with the dread i did on last stage

#

the ziplines

willow vector May 12, 2021, 7:53 PM

#

Shield Disruption Aquarqs joy

#

Vampire for days

odd sphinx May 12, 2021, 7:53 PM

#

it is a fairly compact room in stage 1

willow vector May 12, 2021, 7:53 PM

#

Well that's good

odd sphinx May 12, 2021, 7:54 PM

#

there is like 7 aqaurqs near the blackbox

#

and the last 3 are near the bottom

#

where the droppod will extract you

willow vector May 12, 2021, 7:54 PM

#

Plus sand

#

So it doesn't take a year to excavate them

odd sphinx May 12, 2021, 7:54 PM

#

yeeaaa just gotta rng the sandstorm

#

i would say on the first stage

#

have 3 people do the blackbox immediatly

#

have someone like the scout just dig and chuck the stones down

#

stage 2 i already gave some advice

#

stage 3 it really just comes down on how you all fight

#

hive guard and normal dread i normally split the team

#

and we go opposite sides of the room

#

that way when it aggros

#

it has a long walk back and forth

#

giving time to gun the bum

#

the blackbox on stage 3 is beside one of the dread eggs

#

you can either complete it during your fight with the dread

#

so that no enemies spawn

#

at least i assume that is how it works

#

or you can complete it before/after

willow vector May 12, 2021, 7:57 PM

#

No enemies when Dread is up?

#

Hmmmm

#

big if true

odd sphinx May 12, 2021, 7:57 PM

#

the normal mechanic is that while fighting a dread

#

no swarms spawn

#

not sure how blackbox + dread fight works

#

since that is a deep dive exclusive combo

#

both black boxes i cheesed again with zipline gunner

#

you run the zipline in the air through the radius

#

spam button while shooting so you stay in the middle

#

and dont zipline out

#

no land enemies can hit you

#

esp since you arent close enough to the wall

willow vector May 12, 2021, 7:59 PM

#

my kingdom for holding E to stay still on a line

#

But yeah sounds like a strat I've used a lot

#

Looks like I'm going back to Gunner for the EDD

odd sphinx May 12, 2021, 7:59 PM

#

this is only my 2nd rotation of deep dive

#

but i hear a lot of people say it is very easy

#

compared to other rotations

#

rather chill this week

#

🤷‍♂️

#

if you go two gunners btw

#

and mod for long duration

#

i think i normally have 7.5s duration. 9.5s charge?

#

that is only 2 seconds down time

#

yo ucan stack your shields on each other

#

while the other recharges

#

if you need a gtfo

#

while standing on blackbox

#

it can also be used while hiveguard is aggro'd on the gunner

#

and everyone dumps on him

#

ive also noticed hiveguard just keeps spamming his explosions if you stand ontop of him

#

so could also just throw down a shield nad team pumps into him while he spams the attack

willow vector May 12, 2021, 8:06 PM

#

Does the shield block the AoE?

odd sphinx May 12, 2021, 8:09 PM

#

i dont believe so

#

however the shield recharge on the shield make your shield constantly refill

#

if the projectile spawns inside the shield, it wont block

#

but believe if it spawns outside, then the explosion gets blocked when it hits the shield

willow vector May 12, 2021, 8:10 PM

#

Good to know

odd sphinx May 12, 2021, 8:10 PM

#

i do know that other aoes that ground based are not blocked though

#

so like oppressor ground shake

willow vector May 12, 2021, 8:10 PM

#

Cuz I remember Lacerator OHKOing me through my shield with its ground pound

odd sphinx May 12, 2021, 8:10 PM

#

it will still hit you

willow vector May 12, 2021, 8:10 PM

#

yeah

odd sphinx May 12, 2021, 8:11 PM

#

but your shield is constantly regening while inside

#

yea pretty sure that ground slam is similar

#

cant do anything about that

#

buuuut

#

can once again zipline abuse

#

thankfully twins are only bullet sponges

#

no invun phase

#

the only thing that will knock you down is if you get hit by the fire ball ball

#

not that bomb projectiles that throw

#

just dont get too close to the roof

#

the one guy glitches out and spawns on the roof

#

an the walks on your zipline

willow vector May 12, 2021, 8:12 PM

#

Fireball is slow anyways

#

wait what

#

He walks on it?

odd sphinx May 12, 2021, 8:13 PM

#

yea, if you are zipline is too close to a surface

#

they will do the ground jump thing

#

where they dig and then appear under you

#

ive had it where it did that move on the roof

#

then walked on the zipline

#

and did that 3 hit move

#

that ends rock shards in a line

#

in mid air

willow vector May 12, 2021, 8:13 PM

#

lmao

#

rip

odd sphinx May 12, 2021, 8:13 PM

#

molly bugs out sometimes as well

#

seen her walk on my zipline

#

but agian, even if you get hit by the fireball

#

if you have full shield

#

it doesnt hurt too much

#

just make a safety zip

lusty flare May 12, 2021, 8:55 PM

#

Why are Blackboxes still bugged to go slow when doing deep dives with less than max players

odd sphinx May 12, 2021, 8:58 PM

#

are they? thought it was just a visual glitch with showing like you have less power

quaint lake May 12, 2021, 9:24 PM

#

question, do you lose the mission if you fail the black box secondary mission on 2nd stage?

old widget May 12, 2021, 9:30 PM

#

quaint lake question, do you lose the mission if you fail the black box secondary mission on...

Supposedly no, haven’t verified myself but trust the advice here

cunning hamlet May 12, 2021, 9:50 PM

#

if I go for Neurotoxin AC on the EDD, should I take damage or ammo on 1 for the dread fights?

eager parcel May 12, 2021, 9:51 PM

#

Ammo, since you will be using your secondary on dreads 90% of the time

#

And that other 10% is just to proc neurotoxin

cunning hamlet May 12, 2021, 9:51 PM

#

kk

old widget May 12, 2021, 9:51 PM

#

Honestly I like clip size on T1

#

But YMMV

#

Gives you 110 more ammo too, IIRC

cunning hamlet May 12, 2021, 9:52 PM

#

yup

odd sphinx May 12, 2021, 10:20 PM

#

quaint lake question, do you lose the mission if you fail the black box secondary mission on...

just tested it now, you do not fail the mission, but you are still required to complete the black box

#

it will reset the blackbox, making you redo the objective

#

including building it again

unkempt belfry May 12, 2021, 10:24 PM

good to know I guess, I was out of nitra anyway, so no more resupply artillery to kill the detonator

#

there is a way to power attack it by flying past it with a double boost from the special powder, but you need some insane practice for that

Hey, is it normal finding 1 jadiz in a Deep Dive? I was wondering haha... I thought Deep Dive didn't have any mineral.

leaden cypress May 12, 2021, 11:52 PM

#

Hoarders can drop biome minerals

#

even in DD/EDD

queen pewter May 12, 2021, 11:54 PM

#

leaden cypress Hoarders can drop biome minerals

There was no hoarder in the mission we were doing.

#

I specifically found only 1 jadiz...

#

Like out of nowhere haha.

#

Or maybe we had one, but we didn't kill it then. Is it still dropping something when hit?

leaden cypress May 12, 2021, 11:55 PM

#

yes

#

when you hit it, it starts dropping minerals

odd comet May 13, 2021, 1:06 AM

#

It drops a little bit as it takes damage

#

A lot more when you kill it

#

So yes, someone in your mission probably spooked it and didn't say anything

burnt cove May 13, 2021, 3:14 AM

#

our scout went down there with cryo grenades and got the breeders and hives

#

Stage two was a little hard, but nothing too bad. Snowball op

calm sequoia May 13, 2021, 7:08 AM

#

Stage 2 was pretty difficult as there were two breeders at one point

#

My team didn’t go down to the lower chasm immediately, so we unfortunately had to deal with swarms and swarms of Naedocyte spawns

Here's a proof of doing DD with (mostly) melee only.

Artificial Ice

Deep dive, Melee only attempt (stage 1-2)

Stage 3 is a separate video. (Just cut in 2 parts, not separate runs)
Stage 3: https://youtu.be/LLLwgFWX79k
Used a gun for the duration of the black box event, cuz there would be no other way to do it.

modern spruce Ugh, just did EDD with a completely silent team, totally ruined the experience. ...

if by silent you mean they didn't ping anything at all, then I agree, but if you mean by that they didn't talk in chat then I can't agree, as I think DRG has the best way to communicate whitout outright saying how to do stuff.

modern spruce May 13, 2021, 12:38 PM

#

They wouldn't acknowledge anything I said in VC at all, and didn't talk in chat. Honestly felt like playing with a team of NPCs with how dull it was. Didn't even get post-dive celebration because host left the instant we finished.

#

Gameplay-wise we didn't really need to communicate because it was ||extremely easy by EDD standards|| but the silence made it super boring, felt like my team was just playing to get it over and done with

flat dirge May 13, 2021, 12:43 PM

#

While the disappointment in that is understandable, I honestly do sometimes just immediately leave after something myself due to time constrains, but I still wanted to enjoy DRG.

#

On the bright side it's not a common occurance

modern spruce May 13, 2021, 12:46 PM

#

I do definitely feel like this has become a major problem in general for the game though: I used to get annoyed about players at haz 4 and above that don't use VC, now I feel lucky when a player actually communicates at all besides "r" and highlighting. VC has become like, 10x less common, at least in AU/NZ

For this week’s EDD, on gunner should I bring minigun or autocannon?

Definitely autocannon

#

Napalm as well

#

Seriously, I've never had a mission where napalm was so useful before, I was constantly running out because I was constantly having situations where it was exactly what I needed

quaint lake IFG is such a powerful area denial tool, it's really a mistery why people don't ...

Being able to quickly eliminate large targets like breeders, spitballers and opressors with cryo does wonders for the team. Two breeders, unless eliminated quickly can down the entire team in the middle of the swarm attack.

that is correct, but IFG can reduce pressure of the swarm on the team, so the team can focus on dodging or killing breeders

hey! a question from a wannabe greenbeard. I dont have much money, and i dont like buying things too often. however, i think this could be a lot of fun. Also however is that my brother can play on the xbox, and I could play on pc. But, that means I would have to get the MS store version which seems to have a smaller playerbase and no mods, which i typically enjoy. If i were to buy one, (should i or should i wait for a sale) and steam or MS store?

Well the EDD was very doable. Challenging, but had a disciplined team with good tactics and we did it on the first run. Lots of AOE and flame weapons recommended. Lots of bulks dropped in to play but no big deal. Working fast through the liquid morkite mission in stage 2 helps alot. don't waste time with gold, there is plenty of nitra to harvest, so you don't have to be sparing with it. Very enjoyable.

Too bad you couldn't I.D. the toxic jackass. I've had some guys pull that shit, a driller who dropped a charge on us right at the drop pod, a scout who rifle sniped us and then played dumb about it. Problem with these guys, they enjoy the negative reaction of other players. Childish, sure, but when you're dealing with low IQ idiots like this, just nod and smile and move on.

The Bet c seems to be a standard spawn. We just drilled a tunnel around it and didn't bother triggering it, as we were hanging by a thread on ammo and health.

The most annoying thing in the world: having the drop pod hit a dreadnought cocoon on the way down, so you have to fight without turrets set up or flares placed or anything

old widget May 14, 2021, 10:34 PM

#

I…didn’t think that was possible. Like the initial drop pod? Pegged a cocoon on the way down?

#

If so I’d capture the seed, possible bug

odd sphinx May 14, 2021, 10:35 PM

#

as far as im away, in dd and edd you always spawn in the exact same starting area

#

the leaving drop pod can change though

#

so if it was dd/edd that broke a cocoon on the way down, and no one else reported, probably a bug

buoyant wing May 14, 2021, 11:41 PM

#

the leaving drop pod would only be able to come down once all the dreads are dead though

#

so that only leaves the initial drop

#

that also sounds very wrong to occur, since cocoons are usually in neighboring tunnels at closest

dreamy dragon May 15, 2021, 5:14 PM

#

impossible to scout + engi?

#

challenge accepted lol

#

wonder if it's time to pull out the cryo minelets for this one instead of the detonators

quaint lake May 15, 2021, 6:00 PM

#

engi can do anything

cobalt fiber May 15, 2021, 6:00 PM

#

EDD is surprisingly easy this week. And I am saying this as a Scout.

quaint lake May 15, 2021, 6:00 PM

#

engi + anyone is doable

#

as long as it has engi

#

I do not believe you if you did 1st stage solo as scout

cobalt fiber May 15, 2021, 6:01 PM

#

It's refi + critical weakness. As a Scout you can easily kill anything with M1000 and stay on top of the refinery when the swarmers hit.

quaint lake May 15, 2021, 6:01 PM

#

black box

cobalt fiber May 15, 2021, 6:01 PM

#

Top of refinery = immunity in case you don't know that.

#

(Unless you get shot by a spitter or mactrera.)

quaint lake May 15, 2021, 6:02 PM

#

Black Box

#

how did you handle the black box

cobalt fiber May 15, 2021, 6:03 PM

#

Ah, sorry, didn't realise you were talking about solo.

#

You could take pheromones and hide in the cloud.

#

resup near by

quaint lake May 15, 2021, 6:04 PM

#

I thought you did it solo

#

it's just impossible to do solo as scout

#

but pheromone cloud is intersting

#

maybe I will try that

cobalt fiber May 15, 2021, 6:05 PM

#

Yeah, the whole swarmageddon mod makes scout useless. Pretty unbalanced.

quaint lake May 15, 2021, 6:06 PM

#

I was actually using praetorians to kill off swarmers

#

but praetorians are for some reason really dumb today

#

I run into them and they still don't start their spew animation

quaint lake May 15, 2021, 6:23 PM

#

nope

#

doesn't work

#

they still attack you

#

even when there are pheromones nearby

cobalt fiber May 15, 2021, 6:56 PM

#

That sucks. The lack of balance is disturbing. I get that some classes get it more difficult here and there, but Scout is useless on some missions.

quaint lake May 15, 2021, 7:00 PM

#

also pheromones like, are stupid

#

they sometimes work sometimes don't

#

what is the correct way to use pheromones?

#

I am not supposed to be inside the cloud, right?

#

but kind of nearby it

#

literally 4 bugs covered in pheromones 15 meters away from me, still try to attack me

odd sphinx May 15, 2021, 7:13 PM

#

pheremones will both slow and change aggro of bugs to attack the nearest thing to them

quaint lake May 15, 2021, 7:14 PM

#

I am literally seeing particles around bugs that mean that they are under the effect, and they still on top of my ass

#

even when I am zooming around the cave

odd sphinx May 15, 2021, 7:14 PM

#

sometimes, a non painted bug will attack the painted ones

#

the particles mean nothing, do they have the pheromone effect

#

icon above their head

quaint lake May 15, 2021, 7:14 PM

#

yes

odd sphinx May 15, 2021, 7:15 PM

#

then report it as a bug

#

would be the first of me hearing that painted bugs dont attack each other and instead follow you

quaint lake May 15, 2021, 7:19 PM

#

man this is stupid

odd sphinx May 15, 2021, 7:29 PM

#

you just trying to do dd or edd

#

solo or party?

quaint lake May 15, 2021, 7:30 PM

#

edd solo, no bosco

odd sphinx May 15, 2021, 7:31 PM

#

will need to change class then

quaint lake May 15, 2021, 7:31 PM

#

how do you expect me to do black box

odd sphinx May 15, 2021, 7:31 PM

#

looking at edd i would personally go gunner

#

i always zipline in the air

#

only areial enemies plus spiiters can get you

#

which you can just kill

#

during blackbox

#

autocannon also aoe for the swarmageddon

#

or toss a molli

quaint lake May 15, 2021, 7:32 PM

#

gunner is gonna be hard to do the rest of the mission

odd sphinx May 15, 2021, 7:32 PM

#

hardly

quaint lake May 15, 2021, 7:32 PM

not using his gun that is

ah well then

🤷‍♂️

quaint lake May 15, 2021, 7:33 PM

I tried driller, cuz pretty good with drills against swarmers

odd sphinx May 15, 2021, 7:33 PM

good luck with cave leeches cluster

quaint lake May 15, 2021, 7:33 PM

#

but still black box is ass

#

it's fiiine

#

just gotta be extra careful

#

and no floor clipping leeches that is

odd sphinx May 15, 2021, 7:34 PM

plus another black box

quaint lake May 15, 2021, 7:34 PM

#

it's okay, just as long as it's not swarmagedon

#

I can deal with big stuff + it gives me hp

#

swarmers bite harder than grunts, move faster than grunts, and give no hp

#

I don't see how that makes any freaking sense

odd sphinx May 15, 2021, 7:37 PM

#

mmm.... something you could try with driller

quaint lake May 15, 2021, 7:37 PM

#

I did give myself some room and decided that I can use guns during black box

#

but still it's insane

#

maybe with cryo cannon

#

cuz I do have 2 resupply pods ready when I activate it

odd sphinx May 15, 2021, 7:39 PM

#

your issue is blackbox swarmageddon right?

quaint lake May 15, 2021, 7:39 PM

#

yes

#

also detonator ass

odd sphinx May 15, 2021, 7:39 PM

#

just confirm, able to use grenades right?

quaint lake May 15, 2021, 7:40 PM

#

but I can start blackbox before he gets to me

#

yes, grenades are ok

odd sphinx May 15, 2021, 7:40 PM

driller, neurotoxin grenade

invert bunker it

throw down gas

quaint lake May 15, 2021, 7:40 PM

can't they still climb up?

wet shale May 15, 2021, 7:40 PM

#

yes

odd sphinx May 15, 2021, 7:41 PM

#

they can, but that is why neurotoxin

quaint lake May 15, 2021, 7:41 PM

also what to do with oppressor

wet shale May 15, 2021, 7:41 PM

but you get a clear shot

unreal talon May 15, 2021, 7:41 PM

#

I love invert bunkers. I think they are so much better than regular bunkers

odd sphinx May 15, 2021, 7:41 PM

#

you can gas below

#

swarmers will have to climb up to you

#

crawling down into the trench

quaint lake May 15, 2021, 7:41 PM

#

wait

odd sphinx May 15, 2021, 7:41 PM

#

maybe make the platform big enough for a a resupply

#

to refill grenades

quaint lake May 15, 2021, 7:42 PM

#

don't see how that helps

#

I still need to outdps the entire swarm by myself

#

am I gonna be able to do that?

odd sphinx May 15, 2021, 7:42 PM

#

the entire point of blackbox is that you are stuck on the point, you cant leave esp solo

#

invert bunker not only increases the space they have to travel to get to you

#

it also puts them in a bowl

#

anything that climbs up, drill them

#

throw gas in the bowl below

#

since they will naturally clump up to climb up to you

quaint lake May 15, 2021, 7:43 PM

#

oh, so, like, have the rock be hanging just by a small sliver of terrain

#

and just drill down?

odd sphinx May 15, 2021, 7:44 PM

#

blow up the area around it the black box

#

so that the blackbox is standing on a pillar

#

make a giant trench

#

enemies have to take all the time to walk down to the bottom

#

to the center

#

then climb up to you on the pillar

#

here

#

a better visual

quaint lake May 15, 2021, 7:45 PM

#

okay, I will try that

odd sphinx May 15, 2021, 7:45 PM

your trench will look like this

#

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/514935978863886348/843212477382393896/Z.png

#

essentially

#

since you are using no guns, but grenades, pickaxe and drills are allowed

#

will just have to hope to rng for the rest i imagine

quaint lake May 15, 2021, 7:46 PM

man, making that trench by itself gonna suck ass too

#

sigh

grizzled gust May 15, 2021, 10:52 PM

vale lintel May 16, 2021, 2:40 AM

#

it feels about the same for EDDs as haz 4 to me

#

normal deep dives are basically haz 3, just longer

#

they ramp up but you also get more into it so it mostly cancels out in my experience

trim parrot May 16, 2021, 2:41 AM

#

Ahh so just endurance and new objectives basically

#

Thanks 👍

vale lintel May 16, 2021, 2:47 AM

not new objectives just a total of 6 of the ones you know

#

also the caves it generates are like no other so you have that to look forward to

shadow shoal May 16, 2021, 2:59 AM

#

And tons of nitra if you're smart with it

#

through I feel like this dd has less than normal (which is good)

vale lintel May 16, 2021, 3:01 AM

#

deep dives specifically have lower nitra spawn rates but the caves are so gargantuan that you end up with more

scarlet willow May 16, 2021, 3:11 AM

#

pretty sure nitra spawns are boosted in dives

#

they were just nerfed a while ago

tawdry falcon May 16, 2021, 3:21 AM

Whats the difficulty scaling of the normal Deep Dive and the Elite?

vale lintel May 16, 2021, 3:22 AM

it's like 3, 3.5, 4.5 and 4, 4.5, 5.5 or something like that

#

that being the hazard levels of each stage

odd sphinx May 16, 2021, 3:32 AM

they only go up .5 per mission

#

dd starting at haz 3

#

edd starting at 4.5 haz

Deep Dives

Deep Dives are an End Game mechanic that was introduced in Update 25: Endgame - Part 1. Deep Dives are accessible to the player once they have promoted their first Dwarf, while Elite Deep Dives also require the completion of a Deep Dive (only once). The mechanic consists of two pre-seeded, difficulty locked variants: Deep Dives and Elite Deep Di...

Any tips on how to solo the escort in edd? Focus, class/build, strategies?

radiant obsidian May 16, 2021, 11:04 AM

#

Use a lot of supplies so you always have max ammo and grenades while dotty is moving. Same at the stone.. just overuse the tesupplies so you can spam everything. Also as long as dotty has two sides still alive she can tank the rocks just fine.

#

Driller with sticky flames makes it easy. Gunner and engie can handle it. Scout hard but possible

#

Watch YouTube videos of people doing solo edd with escort you can see what they do. But for me I just spam

quaint lake May 16, 2021, 1:02 PM

not really much

#

they play similarly to normal missions

#

you have 2 primary objectives that you need to finish to move on

#

every stage, you carry over your minerals, your current ammo and hp

#

bosco revive + perks reset every stage

#

dd & edd are seeded runs, rather than random

ty ty!

odd sphinx May 16, 2021, 8:16 PM

#

deep dive is hazard 3 stage 1

#

ten haz 3.5 and 4 iirc

#

just horde all the nitra

#

if you are smart, you can finish stage 1 without calling a resupply

#

and potentially leaving it behind / wasting

#

if you are fairly comfortable with hazard 4 on your normal playing

#

deep dive will be rather easy

the great thing with deep dives and elites is that they are seed

so besides a few enemies afaik

#

everything is basically the same

#

the same objectives

#

that same location

#

the same map generation

#

doesnt hurt to simply boot it up

#

and give it a try

#

at worst, you fail

#

but now you have info

#

you now know where things will be

#

what enemies will spawn

#

etc

#

will allow you to plan better for the future

you also still have like 5 days

1] When's the first time you noticed the crashes happenly often?
2] What stage(s) do you or other players have crashed at?
3] Do you or known if other players had any mods running at all during Deep Dives?
4] Was anybody able to reconnect back, and at what stage if you can remember?
Thank you.

Are normally random encounters like BET-C and mineral hoarders part of the deep dive seed or are their chances rolled seperately?

lethal drum May 19, 2021, 12:17 AM

#

i think its depended on how many players are in the deep dive

I still need to finish this week's EDD. I tried it once and we were doing well, but then my team got distracted when they heard Bet-C on the last mission and we ended up wasting several minutes deciding whether or not to fight her. We finally decided to skip her and start the black box up. Like a second or two before the black box event started a swarm spawned, including a bulk detonator in that narrow area, and we lost.

Oh maybe you were. I was a Gunner. I placed my shield down when the bulk detonator was exploding but everyone went down except for me.

EDDs still intimidate me. But maybe my expectations are wrong. What is your success rate? How many of your EDD attempts out of 10 are successful? Deep_Dive 👍

hallow pollen May 19, 2021, 9:16 AM

#

I did 3 EDD to this day and completed them in 5 Attempts alltogether. (one needed 3. The others in one)

#

they are pretty doable if you got your stuff together and have a good team. If not -> Chaos. (Yes difficult, but doable)

copper summit May 19, 2021, 9:43 AM

#

the first two stages aren't difficult if you have people who can shoot and coordinate

#

and the first two stages are most important (they give a blank matrix core and a weapon overclock)

wet shale May 19, 2021, 9:44 AM

and once you got them all... only the third stage matters
for those sweet sweet beards

copper summit May 19, 2021, 9:45 AM

the 1st 2 stages are important because they let you complete 3rd stage easily

Who here does the EDD solo?

radiant obsidian May 19, 2021, 10:18 AM

many people edd solo including me

#

in some ways it is easier solo

for example you can abuse resupplies to spam grenades

and there's nobody to run off alone and die, which causes a cascade of deaths as people go to rescue them

I wonder if it is a timing thing I would say we had one per mission on 1 and 2 when we were keeping pace, I only recall seeing one bulk on 3 as well but had a wipe at that bulk once and a need to stop due to a party member suffering poor IRL health on the second attempt.

I just finished this week's EDD on my 3rd attempt after failing at the end of of the 3rd mission twice. We probably had 4-5 bulk detonators total and sand storms hit about 7 times, often during swarms. No one on the team was a pro, but we had each other's backs, had a plan, and were decisive in our actions. We pulled through just fine.

#

No voice communications either, just frantic typing at the start of missions and during them at key moments. It's a shame you can't type when the shuttle is landing or taking off.

severe tusk May 20, 2021, 2:58 AM

#

Yeah it is. Building a cave helps a lot, but you don't really have a ton of time to do that between swarms. I think all 3 times I played that mission there was a bulk detonator during the black box hold out, which makes things difficult since you're kind of trapped in that one little area.

vale lintel May 20, 2021, 2:59 AM

bulk for me spawned during the refining part, not the black box

You haven't seen the last stage yet. A Mactera plague on an Egg Hunt with two Mini mules. The modifier is just unnecessary. It just makes it too hard for my liking. Like there is already a metric sh*t ton of Macteras spawning throughout the EDD and the Mactera plague just makes thing even worse then they already are.

#

And since there are no positive mods, we barely had the chance to defeat them and get the mules done who spawn in swarms constantly

vale lintel May 20, 2021, 2:22 PM

sounds like the engineer sentries will be quite helpful

#

and maybe a lot of weakpoint destroying weapons

Engis' sentries were helping but they can only do so much. Like once the 1st Mactera mini swarm came the next one was already on the roll
