[maiden berry]

by the time you see this youre probably almost done with it lmao

[lost night]

I did

however the Bulk make me panic tho

[stuck swan]

This chat is the best

Because it doesn’t get spammed so much that I can’t see my previous messages lol

[hollow geode]

i just finished my first deep dive! im curious, is morkite always an objective in each stage?

[burnt sandal]

no, it's just RNG

[hollow geode]

cheers

[wraith shard]

is the EDD hard this week?

[dreamy dragon]

Compared to many others from the past, I wouldn't say so

[radiant obsidian]

elite threat might be a problem on stage 3 if you're not very experienced

[thorny geyser]

Not really. Elites might be annoying, but nothing a little focus fire wont fix.

[wraith shard]

Nah, elites are fine

Aight, thanks for the info

[chrome quiver]

This is said almost every single time

Actually no

They usually say it’s easier than usual

Then on occasion they say it’s harder than usual

Never do they just say it’s an average edd

[velvet knoll]

Dont get it why is there no reconnection for the deep dives if u get disconnected... 3rd mission none the less...

[dusty meadow]

Dependa on how coordinated or lack of with team play.

[wraith shard]

Gotchya

[storm badger]

if you have bad internet, make sure you host

it's not enough for you to lose out, so must everyone else

[thorny geyser]

lets just say that its not as hard as the one like two weeks ago with dread fight in every stage

[normal lynx]

Omfg this weeks EDD was fucking Cancerous

in the sense that I took on so much radiation that i'm now just a walking blob of cancer cells

[lost night]

How much pain the EDD right now?

My previous EDD stop in second stage, I hate thoes elite enemy

[tall meadow]

The past few EDD's have been easy

nothing too hellish or cursed

[quasi cove]

this one wasn't that bad, there was lots of mactera considering there not being a modifier for it

I didn't bring snowball and wished I did, but we did it without any major hiccups

[leaden cypress]

Not to mention there is a lot of nitra

[uncut raptor]

EDD was a nice challenge

though it would've been more fun if there wasn't so much nitra around

[manic osprey]

how hard are deep dives, I've yet to take one on but I might do one tonight

[lyric pumice]

EDD is nice but it feels just like any other mission, it should be a unique mod different from the regular stuff, its just 3 missions one after another that are forced difficulties

like there is legit nothing special about it, not gameplaywise or reward wise

[manic osprey]

ah, its not one incredibly long mission?

darn

[lucid nest]

each new section in a deep dive increase the difficulty by .5, it starts at haz 3, so it goes haz 3, haz 3.5 and haz 4

Elite deep dives start at 4.5 and ends at 5.5

[leaden cypress]

Wrong

regular DD is 3/3.5/3.5

[sharp tide]

Wiki says otherwise

[leaden cypress]

What the

I'm pretty sure it was 3/3.5/3.5

Well i'm not gonna complain for more difficulty

[burnt sandal]

wiki says 3/3.5/3.5

[leaden cypress]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/269986523879833618/905077073255759883/unknown.png

It says 4 for some reason

[burnt sandal]

wuuut

[leaden cypress]

[burnt sandal]

brb, gotta notify the wiki guys

[leaden cypress]

https://deeprockgalactic.fandom.com/wiki/Deep_Dives

[burnt sandal]

notified the wiki editors, we'll have the answer soon

[leaden cypress]

Aight, thx

[lucid nest]

wait when did it change to be 3.5 on two of them

[burnt sandal]

It's always been 3.5

[random rampart]

guess ur as lost as i am lol

[burnt sandal]

The edit was made by a nameless person saying it was a typo. Hardly anything trustworthy

[lucid nest]

oh well that sucks

its annoying how its the only one that acts like that since all the other ones increase by .5

[random rampart]

it may just be deep dive premium:

• extra 3 cores
• harder difficulty
• the luxury of consistently upping the diff by .5

[vocal saddle]

Guys I completed my first elite deep dive😤

I think it was the witches hat that did it.

[shadow shoal]

Now do it 3️⃣

[stuck swan]

The resupply is here!

[merry mulch]

[molten tapir]

Now do it solo drunk no bosco as scout

[scarlet jewel]

id do it

[thorny geyser]

It's actually the Sorting Hat from Harry Potter. Bang, welcome to the House Dirt Diggers. Your shovel is in your locker.

[vapid hinge]

one of these days i'll get through an EDD, one of these days. have gotten nuked on the second stage in both EDDs i've tried so far (not the same EDD)

at least i can get the extra blank core from stage 1

[novel ore]

Just try it at the start of the new wipe

Lots of random lobbies with high level people

Makes Edd easy

[shadow shoal]

But then did you complete the edd, or were you just along for the ride?

[timber rune]

I don't think so

[leaden cypress]

[vocal saddle]

Oh that’s a neat Easter egg

[bold grotto]

am i the only one thats missing one morkite on the last part of dd :D

ah yes the last piece fell into one of the cracks that freeze you

[hybrid wing]

https://images-ext-1.discordapp.net/external/nTM876lKJkrxYlZczKUrWGnOzeTjQLQk876igN4gf5E/https/i.gyazo.com/8c78dae5607766d89b562cc5b834d50b.jpg?width=1205&height=676

Funny how the drop pod just lands right next to us during the mining mission aspect. Host was afk since most of the first stage

AFK the entire time during this stage too so it just puts the drop pod next to us for one of the quickest extractions of all time XD

[vocal saddle]

How are you able to post pictures? I can’t add any to this thread

[vocal saddle]

That’s so lucky

[hybrid wing]

Linked it from gyazo

[vocal saddle]

Ah right I need to try that

[vocal saddle]

I just noticed the chat. "well that's convenient." haha

[main lake]

Am I just playing at the wrong time of day or are there a lot less elite deep dives on the server list? compared to the normal deep dives..

[burnt sandal]

It's pretty normal before the reset I'd say, most people got it done already

[main lake]

Ah thats true, Ill make sure to look earlier in the week. Thanks

[severe tusk]

I still need to do it too.

[manic osprey]

how do you handle soloing the salvage stages where you can't leave the area?

[manic pivot]

ATTENTION MINERS!
Planet scanning is now booting up, 24 hours left until new Deep Dives!

[quasi cove]

If you host a deep dive in #lfg-steam you can usually find one up until reset, I had 2 people who already did the edd join me because I was short handed and it was fun.

[old widget]

Depends on the builds. Many secondary builds do have amazing burst DPS which can outshine your primary though. If you want to play the numbers game you can mock up builds on Karl.gg and it will show you DPS values.

[shell schooner]

Magic bullet on gunner is a life saver

[violet oasis]

I have only performed a single EDD and I was carried so hard. I would assist but I am really not good at it. Didn't get my cheevo for it either.

I've solo'd a couple regular deep dives so maybe the temperature on my garbage is cooling

I missed the deep for speed one by less than 10 mins too.

[nimble anchor]

I've only completed one EDD too and was playing gunner with bullet hell OC

I was carrying my weight but only because I was chewing through half our resupplies by myself

Tons of kills tho

[violet oasis]

I may need to overhaul my loadouts when those new slots come along

reserve one or two for higher haz levels

[nimble anchor]

Ya for sure. I need a more ammo efficient build for EDDs

[violet oasis]

I spend most of my time on haz 3/4 so...

[nimble anchor]

for gunner at least

[shadow shoal]

Bullet hell is the ammo hungry gunner build

[wraith shard]

Is there a place where one can look up the objectives of the current DD and EDD?

[carmine badge]

#deep-dive-discussion message

[wraith shard]

Thanks!

Oh, it's even a pinned message in this channel, nice

[stiff sequoia]

Hello, I'm not a local here, what time can I expect an update on GMT

[analog radish]

doing a normal deep dive, can join in via #lfg-steam

[quasi cove]

For the weekly deep dives or the next big update?

[leaden cypress]

12 AM GMT

[warped thorn]

do an elite deep dive with randos
run going well and got to third one
suddenly hear tunneling as we are getting everything ready
bulk detonator appears and somehow kills me when i wasn't in range and also killed another dwarf
suddenly a swarm of bugs come in to make things worse after we managed to kill the bulk
we die
bulk detonaters fw

https://tenor.com/view/detonator-deep-rock-galactic-feel-my-love-drg-gif-19348921

If a bulk detonator approached me like that I would openly accept death

Not out of respect

[hushed sequoia]

tommorrow will be the day i can see it now

they were waiting for triple escort magma core edd to release with all of the new guns

[open yoke]

@hushed sequoia Going to spend all my minerals on making sure I have the best modifications for all of the new presents in a few hours

[vocal saddle]

Bulk detonators range is no joke. I always stand double the distance of where I think it will blow up.

[violet oasis]

I tend to throw a shield down even if I don't think it will blow it's load all over my team

[vocal saddle]

oh wow do shields work?

I never even considered that

[violet oasis]

yeah you can stop bulk bombs from hitting you in you toss a shield down

unless it blows up INSIDE the shield

also worth doing in magma core so you don't have a massive bunch of slag to walk on

[manic osprey]

I'm gonna try and solo this regular deep dive again, wish me luck

[broken shore]

EDD 2nd Protect dozer + 2 eggs / No mutators

i just wrote 4 eggs omg

[subtle epoch]

deez eggs

[quiet mortar]

I dunno how to feel about these dives being so identical lmao

[vale falcon]

earie

[manic osprey]

joined a rando for the deep dive and it went pretty good

got my first deep dive achievement and my "under 45 mins" achievement

is there any way to view past mission stats?

[quiet mortar]

There is a terminal in your Cabin, outside of that I don't believe so sadly

[broken shore]

EDD 3rd 6 eggs + 150 morkite / lethal enemie

[stuck swan]

In the med bay I think it shows

[zenith wind]

Interesting, no DD/EDD with the new mission - a bit different from how Doretta/Refinery were released.

[quasi cove]

there would be less than 30% completion rate on the deep dives if the new mission was in there

people do not read or learn or do the tutorial assignments before doing them

[prime egret]

they said in a dev stream that they weren't going to add the new mission type to deep dives yet, I think they said it's too big for a normal DD stage so they'd have to cut it down a bit. they also said they might do it in the future, but I don't think they confirmed anything.

[quasi cove]

then get confused and ask in here how to do them

[last frost]

Does anyone know if the game is going to be on sale anytime soon?

[vale lintel]

definitely during the holidays if you're willing to wait... a few weeks or a month

[last frost]

Aaw man

thank you

[shadow shoal]

Its for sale rn

[last frost]

Realy?

on steam?

[vale lintel]

oh it's always for sale but not always on sale

[last frost]

bruh

[shadow shoal]

Write a sob story about being unable to get it on the reddit for a 50-70% chance of someone gifting it

[last frost]

Lol should i?

[shadow shoal]

Go for it

Lotta great miners willing to get new people into the game

[last frost]

But isn't this against the laws of a decent person?

[quasi cove]

Its also against the subreddit rules p sure

[quiet wyvern]

a Dotty on each one?! well i'm skipping

besides, i've done plenty already

[oak pond]

EDD last stage is a bit too brutal for me

[crystal junco]

When do the DDs reset?

Every Wednesday or smth?

[twin bough]

Thursday morning

[zealous crown]

@last frost I guess it’s actually on sale rn for 50% off

[last frost]

I just saw and bough, But thanks for the heads up!

[proven bluff]

Are any aspects of the new mission type a possible part of future deep dives?

[old widget]

According to what others heard in the dev streams, no immediate plans to include in DD/EDD but may show up later in a trimmed down fashion

[wraith shard]

Hi I am using them via steam unfortunately he does not want to connect to normal online
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/742698327958618132/905910302267310100/unknown.png

[velvet knoll]

Having the same problem. Playing most of the day, now cant connect on any server. No list, nothing.

[wraith shard]

Ok so it's a general steam-related failure and not my game that's having a problem?

[sonic adder]

i have also this error...

[velvet knoll]

First time seeing this. Can u connect on regular dives?

[sonic adder]

also no

[wraith shard]

Ok, thank you, I'm afraid I bought the game for nothing

[digital marten]

theres so many people the servers couldnt take it

[wraith shard]

At least the game is gaining popularity and coming to life immensely

[digital marten]

yes

[wraith shard]

Same

Servers down

[burnt sandal]

again ?

[obsidian sail]

anyone else just getting full ammo between deep dive stages?

[sleek crescent]

not 1, but 2 betc's

[pastel mason]

randomly, definitely a bug

Is starting enemy placement always the same? I sure don't want to deal with a spawncamping gank of 3 spitballers, 2 trawlers and dozens of general bugs if it's the case

[mortal elbow]

yo i just started playing when finding out the update truly coming out (after playing the beta) and my character went from presteige 1 level 2 back to just level 11 with loosing a bunch of cosmetics

[fringe kettle]

So you played on the experimental branch, made progress there, now back on the live branch progress has "regressed?"

That's not a bug, that's the save files being separate.

[mortal elbow]

saddend but i understand

so basicly i messed up lol

[pastel mason]

Don't they like literally warn you that experimental has separate progress?

[mortal elbow]

could but tbh my friend told me to go instantly go experamental so i just belived him

[obsidian sail]

yeah it's bcuz like . could just bump your save to 100% and then transfer which would be a bit naff

[obsidian sail]

also that's weird . like didn't even happen to the whole team, gunner kept missin out lol

[pastel mason]

for my latest deep dives out of 3 cases of people ending empty 2 cases got full ammo and one didn't get anything

[reef shoal]

dds give exp for season pass? not challnges

[pastel mason]

yes but they count as single mission

[reef shoal]

okay

[mortal elbow]

ive encountered a glitch (i think) engineer is a level 12 but hes unable to get the other grenade selection

[fringe kettle]

It's known

[steep yacht]

anyone else getting full ammo when they load into the next deep dive mission? Is this a bug?

[old widget]

Seems to be, you’re not the first to report it

[old widget]

Looks like DRG-4092 is logged on it, feel free to go add a “me too” comment

[north meteor]

As Engi u get full turret ammo, yes ...if u mean that 😄

[valid mural]

so, if you complete a deep dive you only get season points equal to one mission? why tho

[old widget]

That’s harsh

[shadow minnow]

Why does it seem no one is doing deep dives right now this week?

[dreamy dragon]

Good question

Not like a big fat update has dropped yesterday or something lol

[shell schooner]

people are unlocking things

[north meteor]

im in the EDD atm and in the 3rd stage all other dwarfs got full ammo except me

end of stage 2 we had no ammo no nitra

this was the hardest EDD i ever did

[valid mural]

so, how many elite deep dives need you to unlock the achievement for completeting an elite deep dive, so far ive done 3 and no achievement unlocked?

[north meteor]

for Elite Diver u need to complete just one EDD

[weak carbon]

Lethal enemies stage 3

gg

[leaden blade]

at least the drilldozer stage doesnt have any mutators

[pale quail]

anyone doing EDD?

[digital elk]

just got through the edd with my 21111 eraser lok1 and 11114 electro breach cutter

this is my go to loadout from now on

didnt have any issues and had like 950 kill score

(with 12 downs lol)

[potent nexus]

Deep dives (both types) are always 1 refuel aren't they?

[radiant patrol]

Is there any way to still get access to the scale brigarde armor

[potent nexus]

Player level 100 assignment

[radiant patrol]

Oh shoot thats awesome

Thanks

[tidal spruce]

yes, iirc

[snow moss]

man, stage 3 of this EDD is hell

[old widget]

Haz 5.5 lethal = don’t get bit for sure

[snow moss]

Yep

we were hiding inside the drop pod for like 10 minutes before finally having murdered everything lol

and then 2 bulks spawned at once, that level really wants you dead huh

[weak carbon]

Lost the EDD stage 2 because the fuel cell disappeared

GG

[leaden blade]

im so tired of greenbeards bunkering the first stage

then getting unsurprisingly overwhelmed once they get out or when an oppressor fucks them up

[vernal flower]

is it possible to get any of the newer mission types like refining liquid morkite on deep dives? or is it only the OG mission types

[weak carbon]

like for the black box? why would you bunker that

lmao

[leaden blade]

yes the fucking black box

in a narrow hallway

like wtf?

it's already enough of a bunker

i just got kicked from edd for starting it before the driller could finish bunkering

even tho i had just cleared out the first swarm easily

ik it was a bit rude but it wasnt banworthy especially since we werent gonna lose

[leaden blade]

yes pretty sure you can get anything

[leaden cypress]

you can't get the newest one

[timid root]

im not sure which class i should play

i really like gunner but the utility of driller is so good

i was playing the pipe mission for the first time and i straight up couldnt complete it with gunner

[leaden cypress]

all of them are good

and each of them has its own role

[timid root]

alright i guess i'll main gunner & driller

[wraith shard]

two escort mission 😒

[storm badger]

gunner is fun with friends, driller is fun at killing your friends

[timid root]

i dont have friends 🤪

[untold spruce]

jebus the last EDD mission was rough, we had no one with good long range damage, scout had the new plasma gun

[wraith shard]

The last edd room is HUGE

It came down to me having to kite and revive everyone else at the beginning

[storm badger]

stop by #lfg-steam then! you can meet people and chat with a mic.

[whole goblet]

what hazard levels are the edd?

Is it like 4, 4.5 then 5?

[dreamy dragon]

4.5 then 5 then 5.5

[whole goblet]

edd gave me ammo on lok-1 after leaving on mission 1?

is that normal I thought you kept your ammo count the same

[mellow cove]

Not normal

Probably same kind of bug as with turrets

[zenith wind]

It seems to be a new bug since two weeks ago

[obsidian vine]

just wondering how much pp do you get from completing dd?
I finished mine solo and all I got is less than a double exp mission

[sinful grove]

I just finished the reg deep dive as a scout and the engy wouldn’t put up any platforms for me 😢

[old widget]

Mountain goat scout best scout

He was just trying to train you

[sinful grove]

It’s not so bad on the nitra, but that morkite on the concave walls 😬

[leaden blade]

yeh mountain goating is so much fun

but you have to time your power attack very well to get morkite or gold

[sinful grove]

Yeah, gotta keep improving my aim on those difficult ones! So I can become an independent scout who don’t need no plats

[old widget]

If you don’t lose 3/4 of your health from fall damage trying to get minerals on an overhang, are you even trying? #scoutlife

(Jokes aside, engi plats on minerals for scout is one of the most satisfying coop gameplay combos ever, and folks who don’t do it make me sad)

[sinful grove]

I break my legs to keep this family’s guns well fed

[old widget]

This is the way

[sinful grove]

Yeah it’s weird to me cause I love giving the plats as engi, it makes me feel so helpful

[whole goblet]

EDD counts as a single mission for the battle pass?

[unique spoke]

Deep Dives don't progress battle pass (aside from EXP I guess)

[plucky forge]

kinda stupid, as progress seems pretty slow anyways

[pliant meteor]

A question if i have a mod enabled that isnt updated to the newest version what happens

[sullen nest]

It either breaks and does nothing, you get lucky and it continues working like nothing happened, or it crashes your game

[lethal sphinx]

to the ppl in my edd, sry i had to go - host that had to go cuz dorm building had a fire alarm

[snow moss]

oop

[tough hawk]

normal deep dive for the boys(and others)

[steep flare]

Regular DD almost wiped us during the stage three extraction, thanks to the wonky layout + Low Oxygen. I (Scout) made it into the pod with a sliver of heath and O2, the rest of the team went down just outside the door. Tried to grab them, but as soon as I stepped a toe outside the pod, all hell would break loose.

😔

[vapid hinge]

aw man, so close to completing EDD this time. halfway through last mission

one of these days i'll make it

[vapid hinge]

is there any difference between all surviving or leaving someone behind on the first two missions?

[steep flare]

Not to my knowledge. If you leave someone behind on stage 1 or 2, they'll be back and ready to go in the next stage

[arctic cargo]

what are the best modificitations for Lok1 smart rifle?

[wraith shard]

what are the stages for normal DD?

[jolly hazel]

check pins

[wraith shard]

ty

[steel radish]

What's the point of the Drak? Seems to just be a worse version of Zhukovs

Genuinely confused on how it's supposed to be used

[wraith shard]

its basically an SMG, honestly im finding it way better than the zhukov and GK2 in terms of damage

if you get the bouncy mod you can put on the AOE and shred

[steel radish]

Why would the class with a shotgun and a dual machine pistols need an SMG? Kinda mad about it tbh

[wraith shard]

same here, i was hoping for a more unique weapon since scout is my main

but its fun to use at least

[steel radish]

Yea it's definitely fun but it's nothing unique, pretty much a copy paste of the Zhukovs

[wraith shard]

what part of it is like t he zhukovs besdies the fire rate?

[steel radish]

I mean role more so

It actually does less damage and less fire rate than the zhukovs

Only thing it seems to have over the Zhukovs is it's armor break

[wraith shard]

ah, well its definitely more suited for the primary role. longer range, not as much spread, zhukov are more for really close range

honestly im finding myself dealing more damage with the DRAK than zhukov, whats your build?

[steel radish]

I can't look rn as I'm mid mission but I'll tell you when I'm out

[wraith shard]

mkay

[steel radish]

I'm wondering how you're doing more damage tho because even with a damage increase the drak does less

[wraith shard]

hmm

im able to kill a regular grunt in 5 shots

i usually only aim for the head no matter what

[steel radish]

Same here, atleast with anything that isn't an oppressor

[wraith shard]

maybe I just feel like im doing more damage then, becausse idk at that point

[steel radish]

Yea I feel like it would be better if you could take both the Damage increase and the mag increase, as is have a decent gun that runs out of ammo or a gun that still runs out of ammo because of how much ammo it tanks to kill

Fun to use tho

[wraith shard]

fun to use for sure, definitely want the bouncy overclock for it because that would save a bit of ammo and add damage

nice change of pace from GK2 and m100

[thick summit]

is this weeks elite hard?

[jolly hazel]

definetly harder than last two weeks

no dreads so take that how you will

[thick summit]

btw I've never actually asked anyone but how hard does this game scale in difficulty with number of players available?

[jolly hazel]

if you forget last one is lethal hazard

[thick summit]

Driller time.

[jolly hazel]

its on the wiki

if u forget last is lethal hazard u might be. in danger

[thick summit]

Thanks.

I gotta get back into these cuz I have no blank... core? I forgot what they're claled.

[jolly hazel]

blank matrix core for machines ya

I felt that

especially on the drilldozer mission, the second one

the waves were INCESSANT on the fuel stops

[steel radish]

It's 21212

[thick summit]

wait the only thing that changes is enemy damage?

[jolly hazel]

no spawn numbers change too

effective enemy hp changes too

[thick summit]

oh nvm I was missreading this thing.

these numbers were specific to deep dives

[vital python]

Our biggest problem on this weeks EDD was ammo

We got through it but just barely

Anybody else have that happen

[dim night]

Nope, the team of pubs I ran with had plenty to spare, i think we had around 300-400 ish nitra to spare. Definitely harder though

we were all running the new weapons too

[jolly hazel]

we had to burn a few more than I'd like in the drilldozer segment

I think we had one left?

[final monolith]

Hi guys IDK if this is the correct channel to post it on but I have a pretty annoying bug and it does not go away, please help 😦 . My grenades on the gunner appear block (as if you need to be minimum level 5 to have the incendiary) I'm level 14 gunner, level 15 minner, and 1 promotion level 8 driller (60hrs gameplay) I can send screenshots but it has not fix it self 😦

[next pebble]

Usually this would be a conversation for #bug-discussion , but the developers addressed this earlier in a tweet you can find at #community-and-server-announcements message

[final monolith]

oh ok ok nice! Pretty new to this game and discord. Awesome to see developers provide this level of attention to its community bugs (cuff cuff bugisoft) Thanks!

[vagrant forge]

anyone else get resupplied between stages for the normal deep dive this week?

deep dives should award extra performance points

[clear pawn]

remind me, are korloks/bet-c in dives RNG or fixed in the seed?

[manic osprey]

doretta's head doesn't carry over from one stage of a deep dive to another, literally unplayable

[radiant summit]

Does the deep dive have any elements from the new sabotage mission type?

[manic osprey]

no, apparently it's going to get something related to it next season

just did my first solo deep dive

[hot osprey]

Do Bet-c's on deep dives give XP still

[manic osprey]

I only saw xp for objectives and side objectives

so I'm guessing no

[sonic adder]

Hello, have admins here ? I see cheater (speed hack)

[old widget]

They do not, and never have, AFAIK.

[old widget]

They are part of the seed, but they are affected by player count (and not in the way you expect - player count is just an input to the RNG, it’s not a scaling thing, so e.g. sometimes 2p games will see them and 4p won’t)

[old widget]

It’s a documented bug that’s been properly reported, haven’t heard what the devs say yet but presumably it will be fixed at some point.

[old widget]

They do already have substantial guaranteed rewards, so chances are it’s intentional to not provide even more rewards for the PP

[static hound]

no i refuse your logic

more incentives to deep dives mean more people doing deep dives means easier to find groups

[stuck swan]

Drg hackers are op. I played with some guy who had infinite ammo and was spamming the PGL.

[old widget]

There’s no anti-cheat engine (it’s a co-op game) so sadly these things can happen. Just have to make a mental note not to play with that player again and move on, as there’s also no player reporting mechanism and blocking players via Steam won’t block them in DRG

[plucky forge]

i think dds only grant the amount of pp a single mission would grant.

they don't have to be give much more, but the qeuivalent of 3 missions would be more than reasonable

[urban stratus]

managed to solo the EDD

this one has alot of curveballs

and alot of menaces

[silver crater]

всем привет

[old widget]

yep, true, just saying that PP is used to unlock cosmetics/frameworks over time, while DD just outright gives you blank, weapon, and cosmetic matrix cores which is arguably a more powerful reward already

(but I'll confess that it seems like not granting 3 missions' worth of PP feels like a bug/oversight rather than a design decision)

[plucky forge]

fair point, but looking at the unlock tree, and how it's designed, you need a lot of levels to skip stuff

and currently it feels really grindy

[old widget]

it /is/ really grindy, yup

their FAQ states that they don't expect everyone to finish it within the season, by design

[plucky forge]

this is also fair, but you can't even get the relevant stuff for your main class right now. nothing to complain if the design of the tree would be class based, and not randomly scattered.

[old widget]

(but we're probably veering into #drg-chat territory here)

[obtuse pasture]

All the acid spitters.. My solo run ended due to what I refer to as the Haz5-4pack-gruntstorm bug.. I swear I saw more grunts in one group than I have every seen.. The Egg in stage 2 with doretta.. disaster.. My team run of the EDD was ultra quite at the same point.. strange

[urban stratus]

ye i also saw some very meaty grunt waves

i was carpet bomber gunner and still had trouble with em especially when they get warden buffed

burned thru alot of ammo

2nd stage i saved eggs till after the drilldozer part

[obtuse pasture]

I was running lok1 engi :p .. good news is I got through EDD and DD with the LOK1 with no problems (and DD solo with LOK1 at first attepmpt)

[quick solstice]

Any advice on how to do Hazard 5 missions? enemies always surprise me and i die, enemies everywhere i cant outrun them, not enough damage, i die in around 3 hits?

[rough kite]

You should probably be asking this in #drg-chat, not #deep-dive-discussion, but...

[quick solstice]

ah okay

[rough kite]

The short answer is play more Hazard 4 - everything you learn in hazard 4 is transferrable to hazard 5.

The slightly longer answer is that you need to be a lot more proactive about avoiding damage and killing priority targets.

And you need the game sense to know when you need to reposition and what is the safest way to get to a new location that you can continue shooting from.

Oh, and in general you should be trying to avoid taking damage at all on higher difficulties.

Not saying you can't take damage, but in general if you are consciously choosing to tank hits on hazard 4-5 then something has gone wrong

[ancient arrow]

Also acid spitters and mactera hurt

[quick solstice]

should i skip doing Elite deep dives when i cant even survive in Hazard 5 missions?

[old widget]

always try!

[quick solstice]

dont want to hinder people in multiplayer

[old widget]

eh, just be upfront that you're green to EDDs and you'll (eventually) find a group that doesn't mind

[stable ingot]

yo anyone done the EDD? the last room is being rough

[west merlin]

I would personally say yes, EDDs are harder than Haz 5

Well at least harder than a haz 5 with no red warnings.
I've not spent much time playing either tho

[leaden cypress]

It really all depends on RNG

i've done haz4 games that were way harder than a lot of EDDs

All of it because of RNG

[gaunt forge]

pretty much depends on the amount of specials spawned.

i've had some hellish hazard 3's just because of the amount of bulk detonators

[sharp sluice]

what's the point of promoting a dwarf for the second time?

[fringe kettle]

bragging rights

[leaden cypress]

Flexing

[quick solstice]

is cheating bannable? i am seeing someone spam huge explosives for 100 times as driller

and whole team gets infinite healing somehow

[fringe kettle]

no, kick them or leave

[quick solstice]

damn Elite Deep dive so hard, even with a cheater

[thorny spoke]

can someone help me with deep dive elite

by help i mean carry

[quick solstice]

hahaha i thanked the cheater for carrying us and reported his account.

[wraith tinsel]

what were they doing that was cheating?

[quick solstice]

gave everyone infinite health, he has infinite ammo. he can throw 15 proximity bombs at a time. team kill us by accident are our only deaths. once we revive we are healed back to 100%

[wraith tinsel]

ooooh shit

[vale falcon]

Modded lobby?

[paper jackal]

roughly how long are missions? And how long does new mission take?

[sleek marsh]

mfw bluescreen right before mission end

f u n

[fast rapids]

So this might be a stupid question but I'm new, can you redo Deep dives to get more cores or is it once a week thing?

[storm bridge]

once a week

[untold sinew]

How many stops are on the drilldozer

[old widget]

Only 1 in DD/EDD
(Wasn’t always that way, but been that way for a while now)

[late oar]

do you keep ammo in between sections of the dives?

or is it refreshed every time

[burnt sandal]

you keep the same amount of ammo.

[late oar]

ok, thank you

[manic pivot]

ATTENTION MINERS!
We are hearing rumors that some dwarves are still not done with this weeks Deep Dives!
We want to remind you that there's only half a week left until our scanners pick up new missions!

[old widget]

However, U35 introduced a bug where folks get refills sometimes in between waves, even though they shouldn’t, so if you see it happen you’re not crazy. 🤷‍♂️

Had it happen both stages a couple of hours ago. Everyone got refills but me. 😔

[burnt sandal]

If you talking about the bug that refills the support tools, it's known

and doesn't come from U35

[old widget]

Nope, not just the support tools. U35 introduced more ammo refill problems

[burnt sandal]

Didn't notice

[old widget]

Pretty easy to spot when your team has 2 ammo bars each at the end of a stage and completely full 4 bars at the start of next stage

[burnt sandal]

did you report the bug ?

[old widget]

Saw a Jira issue on it already, was going to go look it up

Also saw several inquiries on it in here

4118 and 4092 are the most recent hits, looks like

[dark wind]

how many stops in dd: 2 escort duty

[timid root]

i dont know which perk to go with

i like the sound of beastmaster

is it effective?

[odd comet]

Beast master gives you a little extra damage, though it's kind of meh in that regard. What it's really good at is pulling aggro off of you

[timid root]

alright

[odd comet]

Just make sure you aren't just grabbing normal grunts; guards are really tanky and slashers at least have good damage

[timid root]

what about passives

rn im using

thorns and depositor

[odd comet]

You can honestly run pretty much whatever passives you want, though I strongly recommend having at least one health-related passive

[timid root]

such as what

[odd comet]

Vampire, Sweet tooth, or Resupplier

[timid root]

yea i was gonnna get resupplier

as my third passive

[odd comet]

Vampire gives a small amount of health back when killing a grunt or anything larger with a melee attack, really only good for melee-focused drillers. Sweet tooth gives more health back from consuming red sugar, which is okay for anyone but best for scouts as they have an easier time reaching red sugar veins

Resupplier is probably the best of the three

[timid root]

im a driller but

i dont use the melee upgrade

on my drills

[odd comet]

Yeah, a lot of people swear by vampire but I find that even as driller, I'm just not using melee enough to get any real benefit from it, let alone enough benefit to make it more worth than resupplier

Extra health from resupply+significantly faster resupply+reload all guns on resupply can be a literal lifesaver in a tight situation

[timid root]

also

wouldnt thorns+beast master

be kinda bad

[odd comet]

Nah

[timid root]

the bugs will take damage before i can tame them

[odd comet]

Bugs heal to full when you tame them

[timid root]

alright cool

im also having fps issues

can you help with that

i launched nvidia geforce

and it said i should be playing the game with everything on ultra

but everythings on low for me and im still getting low fps

[odd comet]

That I don't know much about

Sorry

[timid root]

why cant i select

other grenades

on my driller?

i used to be able to select them

#community-and-server-announcements message

[winter lantern]

Hey, do support tools regain ammo between Dd missions?

[sick coral]

no

[winter lantern]

I've noticed that at least engi turret ammo is replenished and wondered if it was the same for others

[sick coral]

tools are just like guns, but usually without damage attached

your clip/mag is refilled I think

and turret mag is big

[magic stirrup]

died on the last stage of the dive on the first room

spitballer, trawler, menace, and two breeders

all in this massive, hard to navigate room

[ebon lance]

doing my first deep dive in about a year....

[lost night]

How many Red Sugar on this DD?

[magic stirrup]

not a lot

Elite is very scarce

normal has a little more but less than I'd prefer

[lost night]

Oh

I wanna use sweet sugar perk but nvm

[magic stirrup]

Also the third stage of the elite dive spawns you in a room with a shitton of annoying enemies in the starting room

2 breeders, a spitballer, 3 goo bombers and a menace

[lost night]

I was talk abour Basic DD

[magic stirrup]

Ah

Its pretty manageable

[lost night]

I just wanna know how many red sugar that's all

[magic stirrup]

The last stage is a dreadnought tho

[lost night]

Cuz I wanna use sweet tooth perk

It's just help me not waste resupply on solo run

[magic stirrup]

yeah its not worth it

I mean, maybe for the low 02 final mission

But thats about it

[lost night]

kk

I guess im using vampire huh

[urban stratus]

I think there's a bug going around that refills ammo right now I had it happen to me once on the EDD too and thought it was odd

[pine nexus]

That definetly happened to me each time we made it to the next stage

[valid phoenix]

yeah it refills your turrets ammo all the time

[oblique verge]

Could someone explain me the real differences from elite and normal deep dives?

[static hound]

https://deeprockgalactic.fandom.com/wiki/Deep_Dives#Difficulty

[oblique verge]

Each reward can only be received once per variant, totaling six rewards every week.

so if i want to unlock 2 waepon cores in one day i'd have to complete both the normal and the elite dive

[burnt sandal]

or one of them and the weekly core hunt.

[gleaming gust]

can you do the same deep dive more than once to get more matrix cores?

or is it once only

[gleaming gust]

oh woop answer is litteraly above me hah

nvm!

[burnt sandal]

😛

[jaunty vessel]

guys my game isn't detected by this discord and i can't join games. Is it because i have xbox game pass version?

[swift flume]

Yea only steam version works sorry dog

[proud plinth]

damn, this elite deep dive is quite nasty

[crystal ingot]

yeah we just failed instantly in the 3rd stage, quite insane

no break at all from the second stage on 😄

[magic stirrup]

Yeah same

Its really brutal

Just an endless flurry of annoying enemies

3 goo bombers for christ sake

[old widget]

@plucky forge @static hound looks like DD/EDD now gives proper performance points from latest patch notes today (patch 1 for Update 35)

#patch-notes-steam message

Sounds like it /may/ have just been a cosmetic bug and you were already getting the full PP on the backend

[clever quartz]

just crashed and while trying to reconnect to my deep dive the game crashed again 👍 cant wait for the bug fixes to come out

[old widget]

Crashes are honestly pretty rarely game bugs, FWIW

Usually hardware/OS/driver issues, might double check the FAQ in #bug-discussion

[clever quartz]

the game ran perfectly till the update

so idk

[gaunt forge]

how's the elite deep dive this week

[clever quartz]

like ive been playing this game on the same computer, updated all my drivers, validated the game files and im about to also reinstall the game.

and if that doesnt fix it

idk man ill just stop playing for a month and just wait

for an update

[magic stirrup]

Hard as balls

[gaunt forge]

rip me then

[gleaming gust]

Just me or is the last stage in the normal deep dive pretty confusing

[magic stirrup]

Yeah its wacky

[wraith shard]

stage 3 of this elite dive is painful

the pod drops you in front of hell itself lmao

[magic stirrup]

y e p

Enjoy that

[full furnace]

I have never done an EDD yet, but looks like it's not a good idea to start doing an EDD this week just because of Lethal Enemies.

That and Cave Leeches terrify me on appearance and behavior alone, so yeah, not starting EDD this week.

[magic stirrup]

Yep

[keen vine]

would y'all say this DD is beginner friendly?

[severe tusk]

I think we legitimately had to kill something like 15+ sand sharks this EDD. The last stage you have to keeping moving/kiting constantly due to the lethal enemies modifier on 5.5 difficulty. At least there is plenty of nitra on that one wall and it's a really wide open chamber with room to maneuver. We spread out about 4 different resupply pods across the map so that we always had a place to retreat to and resupply when needed.

[plucky forge]

yeah, saw that in the patch notes as well, but not sure, think i didn't get the points before. not the end of the day though, glad they fixed it.

yeah, EDD stage 3 ripped my group as well right at the start, was smooth sailing before, but we got overrun so hard at the beginning.

DD was fine i think, O2 always is annoying.

[severe tusk]

The regular DD didn't seem any tougher than usual. Just be sure you know how to defeat the classic dread on the last stage with low oxygen. You should have plenty of nitra by that point, so spread out some resupply pods at various points for people to be able to go get air when they need it. The room you find the cocoon in is fairly big but you should drill a tunnel and/or build a bridge to that small ledge across the pit so that you have more room to kite, and call a resupply over there too. With that dread, you just have to make sure to keep something like 7.5 meters away from it most of the time to avoid being one shot by its AoE slam attack. Be sure to follow molly out during the extraction, as you need her to breath, or else have an extra resupply to call in your tunnel if you decide to drill out.

[magic stirrup]

but its the elite people are having trouble with

[wraith shard]

the third stage is pretty rough for a first edd

the third stage having max difficulty and lethal enemies with the pod dropping you off in front of a thousand enemies and spitball infectors is a nightamre

and there was a ton of land sharks and glyphid wardens in the first two stages too. first stage is cave leech cluster, but they are all in one room so be ready for that

also I noticed my ammo refilling between dd stages today too, not just support tool

[shadow shoal]

Known bug

[wraith shard]

it was a welcome bonus but I thought I was crazy because I swore my ammo didnt reset between dd stages

[acoustic bolt]

I don't care that it is a bug or not. I can't sustain 3 edd with basically no ammo

[shadow shoal]

What

[severe tusk]

Everyone on my team for the EDD got their ammo refilled after stage 1 except for me, and I missed my resupply on extraction because the driller ran out of fuel and we had to call one in his tunnel. But there was an oppressor that kept me from getting it, although the rest of the team was able to.

[runic robin]

EDD was smooth sailing up until 3rd stage, you get dropped straight into bug hell...

[burnt sandal]

Egg missions do be like that

[wraith shard]

stage 3 is a nightmare straight out of the droppod

[urban stratus]

I had much more trouble stage 2 tbh my drilldozer lost 2 hp bars before getting to the omorran
Stage 3 it's good to camp in the droppod as much as you can and take out what you can

Also as tempted as you might be with all of the eggs right there, only pull 1 egg at a time

[burnt sandal]

check the pinned messages

[wraith shard]

Stage two was also tough, it wasnt as hard as stage 3 imo but it really doesnt give much breathing room

[dapper trench]

does your main ammo reset after every stage of the dive

[burnt sandal]

it's not supposed to, no

[dapper trench]

oh ok

i'm probably just stupid and took a ressupply or something

[burnt sandal]

there's a bug rn causing you to refill ammo between stages

[dapper trench]

oh

ok

what kind of bug? a glyphid (/s)

[brisk pagoda]

deep dive normally refills driller c4 and engy sentry ammo but nothing else i think

[burnt sandal]

oh god, really ? x)

[burnt sandal]

that's also a bug 😛

[brisk pagoda]

i consider it a feature to c4 everything

[silent horizon]

Stage 3 is rough. Completed the EDD with 1 scout and 2 gunner we basically had to camp the drop pod for like 5 minutes before you could exit without just instantly being murdered

[shadow shoal]

Yeah, you really want a scout with cryos or a snowball driller for the edd

[jade tinsel]

this deep dive spawned, and I shit you not, 7 menaces during one resupply in stage 2

both sides of the drilldozer basically got instakilled

fun

[broken bane]

Hi guys. Can you tell me if I can get my anniversary hats back if I reset my progress?

[burnt sandal]

likely not

not until the anniversary event

[broken bane]

(( thanx

[floral monolith]

so is the hacking drone supposed to spawn in wack locations?

[burnt sandal]

yeah

[brisk pagoda]

it spawns like 50 feet away from the thing you so dont have robots raining down on your head

[floral monolith]

aight cause i had it spawn like on the roof of a cave once and I didn't know if it was like a bug

[brisk pagoda]

should be able to dig under it and make it land on the floor

[burnt sandal]

yeah

[floral monolith]

ok cool. thanks!

[burnt sandal]

I did that with one that decided to land on a narrow path on top of a cave

just drilled it back down

[thorny spoke]

can someone carry me through the deep dive elite pls

i need the cores

[gusty solar]

oof kicked right before droppod was called on the final mission bc one of my engie mines hit the host. didn't kill him, there was no swarm etc

[daring sluice]

hey guys

i just got back into the game

i'm roughtly level 30 and i have all classes but eng to prestige

any tip for elite dives?

i never managed to do one back in the times

now i'd like to try

are they possible solo? or should i just queue

[thorny spoke]

uh

ur only level 30

get to like at least level 300 and u maybe can solo it

[burnt sandal]

they are possible solo

If you can handle haz 4 easily, you should be able to hold your own without problem in the EDD @daring sluice

[severe tusk]

They more or less scale according to the number of players, so if you can pull your own weight in a 4 man, you should be able to win solo too. Duos are also fun if both you and your partner are competent at EDDs. Sometimes it's actually easier to play with less than a full group if nitra happens to be tight. As for tips, don't rush, but don't waste time either (skip mining gold unless you're waiting for a teammate to finish something). Communicate at key points like how to setup and handle certain objectives. If nitra is tight, manage it properly and don't waste resupplies. Just doing this, you should be able to beat most EDDs if you're a decent player, even if it takes you several tries.

[daring sluice]

ok ty 🙂

[prime egret]

I've done one 4-man edd and all the rest have been duos with my brother. it's a lot of fun, especially when they're harder/throw something mean at you (like a grunt swarm in a tunnel at the end of stage 3)

[olive current]

anyonebody have some good hurricane missile launcher builds?

[terse saddle]

nitro compound for the hurricane makes it do more damage the longer the missiles are in the air

1. does it actually work
2. any stats on it

so far ive seen zero improvement with it, either it does the same damage or the distance required is more than a few hundred meters

[burnt sandal]

1.it does work
2. You might want to ask for the stats in #wiki-related-chatroom

[terse saddle]

ty

[burnt sandal]

Also it's about time in the air, not distance IIRC

but the bonus ain't incredible anyway

[terse saddle]

IIRC?

[burnt sandal]

If I Recall Correctly

[terse saddle]

ah

[lucid trellis]

cries in 290

[old widget]

yup, that EDD stage 3 is no joke.

I think if you can clear the welcome party it would be fine

but the naedocytes get the lethal enemies modifier and omg

(and the spitballers, and the goo bombers, and the trawlers, and and and...)

[thorny spoke]

cries in 83

[magic stirrup]

Y e

I keep sayin its absolute ass and nobody listens
Its actually a secret layer of hell

[wraith shard]

Healing Class in DRG just got leaked

[crimson tinsel]

I made sure to let the guys I was with know ahead of time about the start of Stage 3 and made sure we resupplied right at the end of Stage 2

Still gave us a good few downs before we managed to clean up shop. Finished it on our first attempt and I got to use my new Carpet Bomber

The egg waves in that wide open room were actually really fun after the initial few minutes.

Got to pace ourselves and didn’t even need to mine all the nitra

[ashen patrol]

they all heal dummy you take vampire perk

[bold wasp]

heh

Is there a current best build for Deep dive Engineers?

[wraith shard]

Bruh

[ashen patrol]

i think 12221 minishells warthog, 21122 stronger plasma current is a rounded build

[lucid trellis]

Alright bros, time to karl up

[magic stirrup]

Good luck

[lucid trellis]

Metas and a lot of bullets

For duo I’m thinking gunner and scout

If I had to rank importance I’d say

1. Scout
2. Gunner
3. Driller
4. Engineer

Even with the one escort mission, nitra is the number 1 priority in edd I find

So it helps to have a scout speed up the process of finding nitra to combat the escalating swarms

Especially with the later stages when swarms will constantly spawn to eat at your ammo

Ammo conservation is definitely a must, so synergies like volatile bullets and driller’s flame or just driller in general with scout’s bullets of mercy will be great

Idk that’s my experience

But I’ll have to see how I do tonight with randoms or a friend

[rare vale]

My whole team died in a pile in stage 3 cause of the spitballer 😔

[obtuse owl]

I'd recommend 21221 Salvo

[alpine olive]

God the visual upgrades for the new update look fucking FANTASTIC. Its small little details I never figured needed refurbishing but its good to see the concern of polish is always on the devs' minds

[stiff bobcat]

Can you get unlimited cores from doing deep dive?

or is it one a week?

[naive bobcat]

1/week

[stiff bobcat]

cool, follow up, is that 1 for elite and regular?

[naive bobcat]

1 each for dd and edd

you get 1 blank, weapon, cosmetic core

[stiff bobcat]

thanks mate

[random rampart]

Repent in dunce hell for your sins

[lost night]

What perk I should use on EDD?

[unique spoke]

driller went ahead in stage 2 while the Dozer was idle, got leeched
engineer followed, also got leeched,
I follow, rescue them both,

then the gunner starts up the dozer while everyone is away, complains about nobody being around to defend, and it all goes to hell immediately.

rock n stone

[keen raptor]

pog

[burnt edge]

Rock and Roll and Stone!

[old widget]

Dash and resupplier are always solid choices. Beyond that, Iron will + vamp is a nice safety net, and SYIH is handy if you’re a greenbeard who dies a lot 😅

[keen vine]

is this week's EDD beginner friendly?

[rare vale]

No

[keen vine]

aight imma go get my friend then and torture him

he struggled on haz 4

[rare vale]

3rd stage will eat greenbeards alive

[keen vine]

i hope for it

although considering it's lethal enemies + haz 5.5 i will die too lol

[sullen nest]

just use nitra sparingly and the third stage will be ok
lethal enemies is not that difficult when you have four resupplies

[rare vale]

The supply isn't the problem, it's surviving the opening onslaught

[sullen nest]

I suppose

[restive haven]

is elite deep dive solo much easier than with 4 people ? i soloed one but i dont have overclocks so im not sure if i'll be as useful in a group as i am solo

[sullen nest]

I wouldn't say it's too much easier. There's a bit less bugs and you have Bosco, sure, but if you can survive solo EDD without overclocks you won't have anything to worry about at all in a group

The mission difficulty might be harder, but a group with more than a handful of collective braincells is such a strong force multiplier it's probably easier than solo overall anyway

[restive haven]

yee bosco is a beast, mining eggs straight out of the ceiling :)

[sullen nest]

ez
Sit back and relax in the pod while Bosco finishes the mission

[restive haven]

except for the drilldozer mission :| wish he could repair or something

protecting doretta by far the most annoying solo mission

[sullen nest]

Yeah Bosco does kinda suck hard at escort

[restive haven]

welp ty, i'll go try to convince someone to let me dive with them

[feral atlas]

lethal enemies isn't really that much of an difficulty bump for people that play haz5 normally

because the standard practice is to not get hit in the first place

[molten carbon]

yeah most the issue comes with many players on EDDs aren't Haz 5 veterans so lethal enemies can be a real kick in the ass

[thorny geyser]

even longbeards forget sometimes how much of an ouchie lethal slasher or pack of swarmers is

[old widget]

Yeah, I sleep in Haz5 but a swarm of 40 H5.5/lethal naedocytes still makes me squirm a bit

Agreed that lethal on its own isn’t generally a big deal though

/without/ lethal, you’re going to go down fast if you’re letting yourself get hit on H5.5

[lost night]

Stage 2 was pain

[honest igloo]

I did the EDD with 2 gunners with toxin payload, engi with turret discharge and a scout

Turret discharge made the last one a joke

Though a grunt one shooting your shield even with the mod is a bit scary

[sick rapids]

I was playing the EDD with a friend and we both got insta killed by the red rocks on Stage 2, didn't know they could do that.

[honest igloo]

Oh yeah I’m on xbox so couldn’t use hurricane

[old widget]

NTP is easy button for EDDs IMO, makes such a huge difference. 2x NTP would be nuts, a bug would never be moving at more than haz1 speed

[obsidian vine]

some new things i discovered industrial sabotage
the backup batteries are explosive, that's known, but i think you can place them on top of the arm hatches and itll explode and take damage

and the most important thing i discovered
you can pet hacksy

oh wait sorry i meant to post this on the drg-chat my bad

[twilit sentinel]

I mean I don’t want a carry but I also don’t wanna solo..

[severe tusk]

I mean you get an achievement the first time you complete an EDD, I think.

Yeah, only 5.6% of people who own DRG have completed an EDD.

Only 22.6% of people who own DRG have promoted at least one class.

[summer thistle]

why is the last mission of the elite DD so hard lmao

ive had like 4 attempts and each time we die on the 3rd

its brutal

[wraith shard]

those breeders need to be frozen asap. luckily i had a good scout on team and then it was a simple matter of using breach cutter against spitballers. also smart rifle comes in clutch against leeches.

[summer thistle]

just damn, its hilariously rough

[wraith shard]

yeah i had to take a moment as soon as those drop pod doors opened

[stuck hamlet]

we did the dd again to get some good amount of xp, and on stage 3 there was a crassus detonator close to the dread
now, I don't remember being there when we completed the dd the first time
am I dumb?

[old widget]

RNG still plays a part for enemy generation, you won’t get the exact same mix every wave on every attempt

Stationary enemies should always be in the same place for a given number of players, though, and the per-level RNG that determines “encounter strength per wave” and “disruptive enemy chance per wave” and things like that are likely the same too, which is why you often see folks talk about bulks spawning in the same place

[stuck hamlet]

oh ok, so I was right
it's not a perfectly scripted cave 100% of the tines

[old widget]

Very similar, but naw, RNG gonna RNG

Deep dives in general aren’t scripted, nothing in DRG is, that’s the beauty of it. One random seed spawns a magical algorithmic generation of caves/enemies

[stuck hamlet]

yeah the variety it's really cool on all kind of missions

[bold wasp]

Using the LOK for deep dives, is the electric gen mod better for it, or should I be using unstable lock?

I am not quite sure what it defines as a full lock

or well, a good build for the smart rifle as well.

[wraith shard]

If you have a scout, you should brief him on what to do immediately when he leaves the pod

He’s got a breeder to freeze, cave leeches to shoot, and spit ballers to freeze too

he should have all of them gone by the time the bugs start to spawn

that’s what I managed to do, and the rest of my team had enough time to set up defensive positions (plascrete sentry nest, double length bunker and gunner gondola) to take the eggs one by one at a comfortable pace

all of us even made it back to the drop pod

[gleaming spindle]

how’s the edd this week fellas

what does it rank on the bullshit-jankometer

[magic stirrup]

9

[last beacon]

is there any weapon mods to change the appearance of the weapon ( ie can a lok-1 look like a different weapon but still have the same functions )

[wraith shard]

Full Lock means you're locking on with all possible shots before firing. This number is 12 by default, and can be hard to reach consistently. One of the gun's overclocks Executioner decreases the max targets to six eight, which makes reaching a full lock much easier.
I would recommend you stick with Electric Gen unless you consistently lock on with all possible shots. Electric Gen also synergizes nicely with the T3 Electro-Chemical Rounds mod.

[bold wasp]

hmm gotcha. Hopefully I can get some overclocks on it soon, just got the neuro one and its doing okay on dread hunts

[hollow summit]

the last stage is a humongous "fuck you"

[hexed marsh]

HARD

but doable

I wasn’t prepared for the mayhem but a good team is a good team and we’d stockpiled nitra

The absolute mayhem when we walked out though was insane

[hollow summit]

those spitters are wild

the one team I was on that made it to stage three I accidentally woke them up (didn't see them) as scout when I was zipping to freeze jellfish spawners

watched three spitballs fly through my vision past me
watched three teammate portraits turn red

[icy chasm]

stage 3 of EDD is whack af

goddamn miracle my group did it first try

I had 9 downs

Scout had 8

Engie had 28

poor guy

still a great group tho

highly reccomend being in a Discord VC for this week's dives

[summer thistle]

Imma need a group to help me do it lmao

4 attempts so far

[severe tusk]

I did the EDD this week on my 2nd try and I was playing with a friend still new to the game. He only had driller promoted, and I am not sure if he had any OCs for his cryo cannon or EPC. The first run we had one or two inexperienced random players join us. We lost on stage 2 partly because everyone got the resupply bug to get ammo in between stages except for me, so I didn't want to call a resupply for just myself. But then we got brutal spawns and the team went down and I ran out of ammo and it was just an uphill battle and the drilldozer eventually went down I think.

The second run, we got two experienced random players who were both pretty good. We came close to losing on stage 3 once when everyone went down, but someone had Iron Will and we got an insta-revive chain off after that and stabilized. I mentioned this before, but the stage has plenty of nitra along one of the walls. The map is very wide open with tons of room to kite. Just always keep moving/kiting and frequently check behind you for slashers and swarmers which can take you down in a second if they manage to sneak up behind you. Call down 4-5 resupply pods spread out over the map that everyone can fall back to when they gain some space from a swarm. If you do this and have decent to good players you should be OK. I think my friend, who again is new and probably was without good OCs, only had 1 down, and the rest of us only had 2-3 downs each.

ATTENTION MINERS!

[patent cliff]

Well the EDD just taught me that the LOK is a very limited weapon in some ways

[old widget]

I think it’s OK, but almost requires pairing with BC for crowd control when the bugs get in your face

(It’s also a passable tap-fire weapon in a pinch)

Haven’t tried it in EDD yet but have run some H5 with LOK/BC and it’s a pretty versatile combo. I guess nitra-constrained EDDs might be an issue for LOK

[shell tapir]

just done the EDD was tough, we had a newer player who died 16 times x)

gunner too :/

the last stage is surprisingly not that bad even considering the room you spawn in starts crazy

[crimson tinsel]

Yeah make it through the first part of Stage 3 and you should be golden after that

Lots of area to move around and fights swarms in. I had a blast after the initial landing.

[ivory marten]

crashed as host during my edd 🥲

[atomic flax]

I like to deep dive when playing deep cokc galactic

[subtle oracle]

your ammo gets replenish after every stage now?

when did they added that?

[eager palm]

only support weapon ammo right?

[severe tusk]

My teammates said their weapon ammo was refilled but not their grenades, I think. For some reason, I was the only person who did not benefit from this bug on both EDD runs I did.

[lucid nest]

Is it just me or was this week's EDD easy?

[subtle oracle]

it was because your ammo refills every stage

[lucid nest]

Oh, well we also refuelled our ammo to Max before leaving because I was only playing with another person other then that it was super easy compared to other weeks

[slender river]

Well that EDD was incredibly easy, respect to the competent gunner that showed that the hurricane is a true bug killer

Especially because of the refill bug

Note though to those that still need to do it, my entire team's Drilldozer hud was bugged by permanently displaying 100%, so don't trust it

[waxen verge]

Clients get ammo refilled, hosts don't for some reason

[high storm]

this weeks? the first room of stage 3 has 2 breeders 3 leaches and 3 spitballers

[inner umbra]

Any pro tips for a new Deep Diver?

I've already known the "don't mine everything" gimmick.

[left salmon]

In a solo deep dive right now, first one since starting to play again.
Just remind me, do the random challenges spawn in Deep Dives or no? I haven't seen one and I want to know if I'm wasting my time looking for them after finishing my objective already

[vestal perch]

can staem player play with xboxgamepass player?

[ashen relic]

Things like machine events and cargo crates don't spawn on Deep Dives. This is because the map is the same every time and devs don't want them to be farmed.

The only reason I recommend staying behind is for nitra collection

[ashen relic]

Not to my knowledge

[jaunty crag]

finally did dd and edd with friends and a random, found it weird our ammo were being refilled on each stage

[bold wasp]

LOK seems like it has great ammo economy :v Just need to get the explosive overclock

Just needs to prioritize the special enemies over the grunts and hope the teammates can cover you or your turrets

Going a whole extraction mission without needing to take ammo from a resupply is pretty nice. Though on haz 4 and higher yeah the gun could probably get a buff to its base ammo capacity? But its very strong for what it is already

[maiden apex]

I was the only one getting no refill. and earlier it did not. felt like a bug

[jaunty crag]

One of my friends didnt got refill as well, he was host

[maiden apex]

I was host too.

Nothing too bad. I also Lost Dottys Battery by a glitch and I can see my weapons when depositing. Some people that do not have the new missions unlocked come with in that mission, they sometimes cannot interact with a drop pot or hacksy for a few moments

i like the company, so they shall take it easy and fix it when they have the time. I love this game. no hate here from me

[jaunty crag]

I see

so only the host wouldnt get the refill, I think its a bug so far

[maiden apex]

yep. and i liked it more without the refill earlier in the lifeciycle. at least thats what i remember

[left salmon]

discovering and being roped into fighting the mech after already finishing heartstone. Gucci.
At least I found the one in step 3 before the boss lol

[supple elk]

I'm getting into playing the game more seriously after having been strictly occasional/casual for over a year and I was wondering about deep dives -- I know that the missions/routes are the same, but are spawns/random events the same as well? i.e. if a bulk spawns in one instance or something like that

[fringe kettle]

1. The game is a casual game. Don't take it too seriously.
2. Static spawns are player count dependent, dynamic spawns are dynamic.

[ashen patrol]

meaning you can get unlucky and have 4 bulks spawn on 1 escort run and none on the next :')

[winter lantern]

Not a problem on normal DD, but on EDD you can greatly benefit from farming the. Nitra on early stages. The other stages past this are hard but if you have supplies it's not(as) bad

If you've a good amount of reserve nitra on the other stages you can focus more on the objectives.

Also for both DD and EDD, the rewards are always

Blank core
Weapon core
Cosmetic core

In order. So if you're just going for unlocking all weapon overclocks, don't feel bad if you can't do the third stage

[frozen vector]

is there any guide on first time deepdives in general

I just promoted my first character

[leaden cypress]

Hmmm

not really

Though there are some advices you should take into account :

• Regular deep dives are fine if you are used to haz 3
• Elite deep dives are fine if you are used to haz 5
• Nitra is the first thing you should look for. Sometimes it can even be the only thing you can look for (on EDD in particular)
• Try to complete the objectives as efficiently & fast as possible to prevent more bugs to appear, thus consuming more ammo & resupplies

Also make sure to exploit your class' potential

Such as deploying shields when needed as gunner (i like to mention uplinks/black boxes as detos can spawn & mess everything up but can easily be dealt with if you place a shield to prevent them from moving towards you), looking for aquarqs & nitra as scout, drilling paths in refinery as driller, placing platforms for scout & defending with sentries, etc

[obtuse gazelle]

If your daily is in salt pits, and you do a deep dive, does it count as 3 salt pits missions?

[severe tusk]

If you win haz 4 missions 80+% of the time, you should not be afraid to try EDDs, in my opinion.

[slender river]

Just saw this, yeah it was incredibly easy.
Unsarcastically, you just need competent players.

Players understand distance control, and play passively as they know with it being egg collection that they spawn in one big room rather then tunnels
The scout (me) prioritised:
Quickly throwing cryo grenades at the breeders to stop spawns,
Shoot flares to the ceilings so your teammates kill the leeches
Dodge the spitballers and throw another grenade at them when in range so your coordinated team can kill both while its frozen, the swarmer spawner too

These were all random players too, just got to know what to do

And then proceed to get all 6 eggs and everything else in sub 15 minutes

[manic pivot]

[slender river]

As @leaden cypress said above (among other things), if you are comfortable with Haz 5 missions EDD's are rarely a challenge

[leaden cypress]

I forgot to mention that cryo, when well used, can make EDDs way easier by saving ammos

[quasi charm]

Hi ! I have a question, i thought that in deep dive, if you end a mission with ammo, you end up starting the next one with the same amount, but while finishing the first mission with not many ammo left, a friend ended up starting the second mission with full capacity. Are ammo sometimes refiled between the missions ? Thanks !

[high storm]

a bug

[quasi charm]

It happened to someone else ?

[leaden cypress]

Yeah

i did too

it seems everyone except host gain 100% ammo after each stage for some reason

[quasi charm]

Always or only sometimes ?

(Because that's a little usefull it happen at each deep dive XD)

[leaden cypress]

it always happened to me since the latest update

never happened before

[quasi charm]

I see, thank you very much !

[frozen vector]

I see ty

[still zenith]

Hey guys what do you think of the jet fuel for the hurricane? can I mod it to os grunts?

[neon bluff]

so just finished my first deep dive. (i know, with close to 70 hours, how have i not?) i had fun. it was a challenge, but what would be a good ammo conservatives build for a engi using a plasma cutter and lok (the lok is pretty darn good with ammo consumption, but even with higher ammo bags and bigger mags, i still seem to run out quickly. even sacrificed piercing damage for more ammo. im not used ot having to actually meta balance characters. usually i drop in and go nuts, cant do that in a deep dive

[drifting python]

Dope!

[bright mountain]

tempted to just not do another dang Deep dive. Just had a session end abruptly when host loses connection at the tail end of the second mission

how is there no host migration or recovery system in place???

not going to redo drilldozer mission, 😦

[wraith wing]

time to wait til 3 am

[wraith shard]

there are no host connection problems if you are the host

you try it once and you cant stop

[brittle bane]

Yea that still dozer part is hard

[hushed sequoia]

okay now today it will actually be the magma core triple escort

mactera plague

haunted cave

[unkempt wagon]

That last mission on the EDD 0.0

Holy shit

[alpine olive]

Question

Unless I’m being an absolute god damn fool

The Scout’s new weapon, what is the design gimmick? From what I can understand it strictly seems to be the lack of a reload and a full size clip

But I’ve misunderstood Deep Rock design before, so-

The Sludge Gun and Rocket Minigun are self explanatory

And the Engineer’s new weapon is ballistic, wasn’t expecting its mechanic

Scout seems to have gotten the short end of the proverbial stick

I will say the Sludge Gun has made me play Driller ten times more than I ever did

fucking meta af

OH MY GOD

this is the wrong channel

Lmao

I forgot what a deep dive was

Thought that was the update name

Slipped my mind

Forgive me

[unkempt wagon]

nice

[alpine olive]

[wraith shard]

can anyone share what are the best graphics setting for this game ? i have 1060 6gb card

[broken shore]

EDD 2nd = 3 MULEs + 1 dreadnought / shield disruption / volatile guts

hive guard

[oak jay]

I play at native resolution. Everything on Low, View Distance Ultra. Resolution scale 100%.

[broken shore]

EDD 3rd = 200 morkite + 2 eggs / lethal enemies

[wraith shard]

I play with all on ultra

[unique lotus]

whats the scout meta? x)

[random rampart]

Shotgun jump oc and a weapon of your choice

Jk idk lmao

[tardy trench]

This is the deep dive channel, ask in #drg-chat for other things please

[random rampart]

They might be asking for the scout meta for deep dives lmao

[unique lotus]

ah yes the discord mod

[random rampart]

WHERE

[unique lotus]

yes i was talking about deep dives since this is end game?

[tardy trench]

They might, but the person asking for settings certainly wasn’t, and so many other people just use this chat for random stuff. If you were talking about deep dives then I apologize

[slender river]

You specifically asked for the scout meta, no mention of deep dives, so yeah wrong channel

[unique lotus]

youre no mod either

[slender river]

You don't have to be to say that you're wrong.

Anyway does anyone know if the EDD is still bugged with the fresh ammo at each stage?

[neat thistle]

EDD looks easy, unless S3 is another death cavern like the last one

[wintry hill]

that last one was brutal

[narrow lodge]

Regular DD looks pretty rough for solo this week. Ooof.

[lucid nest]

i struggled more on this one then last weeks, it could also be that its 1 am

[wraith shard]

I just finished EDD, S2 Q'ronar Younglings made me cry

[scarlet siren]

doing the normal edd, molly is so bright I can't see anything

literally

my eyes are bleeding

[static hound]

I like my younglings bbq'd

[jolly hazel]

shield disruption and lethal enemies in edd

[next blaze]

For the love of god, do not 3-man this EDD. I don't know if 4-man's any worse, but the static spawner gave us like 4-5 spitballers, 4 nexuses, and a breeder in the main salvage room

[scenic flicker]

this weeks EDD is almost impossible with shield disrupt and so many spawns without any pause

[sullen nest]

Solo it is, then

[dreamy dragon]

@quiet mortar Heyo, I think you forgot to edit the pin!

[quiet mortar]

Should be the right dives, 'preciate the @ tho ^^

[dreamy dragon]

No probs! Thanks for your dedicated and quick Deep Dive services btw ✌️

[woven anvil]

bruh this normal DD has two huulis

awesome

[wraith shard]

Nice

Ugh low O2

[brisk pollen]

Blue Comback
Salt Pits
Yeah okay

[magic stirrup]

amazing

[feral atlas]

every week people say it's impossible

and every week they're wrong

[severe tusk]

Not everyone has invested hundreds of hours into DRG, so I can understand why they might feel certain EDDs are nigh impossible for them to beat.

[dreamy dragon]

Username checking out lol

[jolly hazel]

big room in edd stage 2 sucks

need to get the legs asap or you die from Roly pollies

[hybrid grove]

if anyone hasnt played a edd before, watch a video or something

lobbies are attrocious

[feral atlas]

There are many things videos don’t and can’t teach.

[twilit sentinel]

I mean yesterday I finished my first but it a only took us three tries it was so hairy in the 3rd segment

[slender river]

Pretty much it all comes down to having a competent team
The only time I've seen struggling in EDD was when elite threat was just introducted, so I had to do that one as solo scout

[slender river]

The primary method to just get better at EDD is to do normal missions that are solely Haz 5 and might also have negative modifiers.

Through completing them you get used to the quantity of enemies and speed of the waves

[feral atlas]

In general if you can handle normal Haz5 missions without lots of dying, you should be ok.

[slender river]

Many folk in here just think they can get their first promo through doing max Haz 3 then go straight into an EDD when they probably don't even have an overclock yet

I had one driller in an EDD 3 weeks ago that ended up on 27 downs who didn't know what the 02 negative modifier was. We still won thankfully

[feral atlas]

That’s their problem and their problem alone. If the host allows it, it becomes his problem too.

[twilit sentinel]

I don’t think OC are necessary, they do help though

[feral atlas]

If somebody is obviously worthless, at that point it’s the hosts fault for keeping him on the team.

[slender river]

True, which is why when I do EDDs I host
I mostly host in general but I never restrict people in any other gamemode, they can play whatever they like, but not with EDDs personally. - Of which I do promo and weapon type restrictions

[feral atlas]

And to be honest, if it becomes obvious that the host isn’t going to kick, it’s the clients’ fault for not saying something, or just leaving.

[severe tusk]

How do you know someone is "worthless" until you have seen them play? I have seen very good players who have a low player level.

[slender river]

Oh yeah of course, I meant that they don't even know what an OC is, and just have very poor weapon upgrades

[feral atlas]

That’s the ultimate issue. But my personal belief is that nobody is entitled to other people’s faith.

You could create a skill system to show people’s stats and records, but I highly doubt that will happen.

[slender river]

Admittedly there's where sound judgement comes in by assuming higher ranks means more skill - or rather competency, but yes that can be wrong, it just usually isn't unfortunately.
I've seen level 50 plat engi's do amazing, and level 400 bronze drillers do trash. So it can go both ways, but that's how I've generally (anecdotally) seen it go

As a host it's also down to you to choose the team comp. Have you ever seen how counterproductive a cyro team build is but have gunner use flame rounds?

[cinder agate]

EDD is stupid this week

[zinc coral]

i've joined and carried EDDs with my lvl 10 save heh always pretty amusing having people try to teach me thru the EDD

[twilit sentinel]

Those always divide the community

[dusty meadow]

Just did it. 2 cc + 2 damage builds. It went ok.

[slender river]

Anything divides a community. Just because it does doesn't mean its bad, by the very essence of adding something even remotely difficult EDDs it divides the community.

[twilit sentinel]

It’s like pvp rank in wow or having a certain meta weapon to raid in destiny

[feral atlas]

I mean, if the truth divides the community, maybe it deserves to be so? In any case people just kick on guesses based on level instead of actual stats.

[slender river]

Sorry but so long as people in the channel below ( #deep-dive-speedrunning ) are doing 4 man EDD's in ~35 minutes I won't sit here and pretend that people are right with 95% of their complaining that EDD's are too hard.
The only time is when you are stuck with someone who goes out of their way to troll and make things more difficult - but that's again where competency comes in.

EDD's provide the singular shred of difficulty to this game, which is why I'd hate for the devs to nerf the EDD's just because of unreasonable complains in here, it already happened with removing elite threat and double neg modifiers.

I get it sounds elitist, but it was put in the game by the Dev's before I joined and its the part I enjoy the most.

[twilit sentinel]

I get that but again I think green beards should be able to run EDDs first week they promote that way they can learn the ropes, techniques, etc. I mean I got promoted then solod my first DD first try then beat the EDD in 3 attempts

Wait are they talking about nerfing EDD?

[feral atlas]

They should be able to. But my position is that it’s the host choice, and nobody is entitled to being given faith by the host.
