[leaden cypress]

Are we back to U33 ?

[jolly hazel]

carpet bomber still rocks

[true flame]

question, what do you all think of the 4 new weapons

[raw ember]

i think they're not out yet 🙂

[neat charm]

im sure theres a very civil conversation in #experimental-discussions that will answer that

[severe tusk]

That channel moves fast.

[plucky dune]

What issues with EDD? Just too swarmy on stage 2 or there some specific issues?

[tall meadow]

nothing special to note

[true flame]

you can play them on the experimental

[south path]

Hoxxes is being stingy with nitra this week, also you might run into random Dreadnaught on stage 2 which is an instant restart cuz it'll take all your ammo (you have another dread in the final room as the objective of that mission)

Maybe technically you could fight them all at once but I feel like only scout could kite all three in such a way not to die. I could be wrong tho

[tall meadow]

The only stage that is stingy

Is literally stage 1

You don’t want to stay around too long there if you want to have surplus of nitra

[plucky dune]

Thanks

[rapid fox]

Anyone up for a deep dive?

[old widget]

Usually plenty of takers in the #lfg channels

[calm jetty]

Easiest edd i have ever played in my life

[azure wasp]

What’s the new EDD like

I’m about to run it

Any tips?

[quick scarab]

Not bad, just make sure your squad understands breathing for the 2nd one and don’t take the zip line in the 3rd one.

Or have some Leaf Lover Eng with a fat boy shoot the lacerator and kill your whole team.

[azure wasp]

Bruh

Im sorry for your loss

[quick scarab]

Thanks. You PS/XB/or PC?

[azure wasp]

PS

[quick scarab]

Oh snap.

[wanton osprey]

doing the EDD at 6am w/ no sleep with randoms was not a good experience so after a few wipes i downed more coffee and went solo and got it done

[azure wasp]

Sounds like you wanna run it with me

[quick scarab]

I might if you wanna go right now.

[calm jetty]

How about you run some laps around the track field

[true flame]

whats good against dreadnought, cryo or sludge

[void vector]

Sludge

[true flame]

how so?

[void vector]

Slows them down immensely.

Cryo is good against absolutely everything else though. But sludge easy win vs dread.

Hard vs regular critters.

[true flame]

i friend of mine keep telling me that cryo freeze them and triple the dmg
but i keep telling him that sludge is better at dread cus of the slow down

[void vector]

Tiny window for freezing.

Slowdown is near constant.

[true flame]

and yeah the extra dmg is nice, but the boss can only be dmg to a point of 33%

[void vector]

Doesn't sound like you need to ask

[true flame]

yeah, but how do i explain to him

[void vector]

If you're the one playing driller, tell him to mind his own business. if he's the one playing driller, mind your own business.

[true flame]

he refuse to use anything but the cryo gun
i can't even run inferno without him being slighty angry about it

im up for anything you can use

but thx for the info and other things
i always though i was wrong

[void vector]

Get better friends.

If your friend is genuinely arguing you about what weapon to use in a video game, dump them.

[true flame]

hes not a bad friend, hes pretty pog irl, just when he play the driller hes a bit of a butthole
oh we don't arguing about it, he just keep saying insane dmg is better than slow down on dreads

[void vector]

And if you're arguing with your friend over what weapon they should use, they need to dump you.

You're both wrong. They're situational.

[true flame]

i get cryo is good for many things
same with sludge in its own way

[void vector]

Driller gets to choose.

[true flame]

[void vector]

You don't get to tell someone else what they should run.

[true flame]

i am not

what is that next to your name tho

[unique ore]

If you look at the terminal in the space rig, you can interact and join 1 of 3 unions, small amount of resources and basically ignorable objective

[true flame]

ay

[agile harbor]

Anyone up for an EDD?

[atomic prawn]

try the lfgs?

[agile harbor]

Skilled players only, because I'm decent but definitely not good enough to carry the team 🙂

Wait, isn't this chat channel for deep dives?

[atomic prawn]

yeah but you are looking for group no?

[agile harbor]

Fair enough. Thanks

[echo storm]

man the edd is pretty easy

[rich beacon]

second stage gave me a lot of trouble, i got like 6+ menace spawns and molly took the most bs route to the drop pod and i almost died of oxygen

[fallen jetty]

man being able to rejoin a edd after a server disconnect would be awesome

twice today i get disconnected

[rich beacon]

play solo

[upbeat kite]

hey i just got my first promotion any tips and stuff for deep dives

[tranquil talon]

I'm pretty new to the game and I promoted my driller and really want to do a deep dive but everytime I try to play with randos on playstation it ends badly anyway I could find a good group. Someone on reddit told me to come here.

[fallen jetty]

#lfg-playstation

[gentle lion]

both deep dives completed, in one day!

btw

they arent too bad

[old tendon]

my game just crashed in the middle of a deep dive, sorry if you were on my team

[restive trout]

Ha. Cant do the drilldozer alone. And when I did with others we didnt have enough ammonution during the second stage and they blamed me because I didnt do the roof thing engineers do to deflect the falling rocks on Dotti.

Told me I suck and should stick to DDs and dont waste everyones time.

[midnight citrus]

oof

idk how high it has to be to negate the damage

[restive trout]

I didnt think of doing it because its very open.

[grim tundra]

You can always use spikes around omoran as a base

you need to do it right as phase 2 starts though

[restive trout]

Guess they were right then and it was my fault.

Perhaps another time.

[old widget]

They’re full of crap. Unless you volunteered ahead of time to use that roof technique it’s not your fault. Teams should be good enough to handle the rocks, or worst case, you lose a panel or two and move on. Don’t let that toxicity deter you.

I’ve done dozens of Haz 5 escort missions and seen the roof technique attempted maybe 10% of the time and outperform just shooting rocks about half that - it shouldn’t be expected IMO

[restive trout]

I suppose you might be right.

It just gnaws on you, you know?

[old widget]

Yeah a bad experience when trying something new/challenging is never fun. Best antidote is to hop back in, since toxicity is kinda rare in DRG (though more common in EDDs)

[restive trout]

Perhaps. But not today.

[wraith shard]

a good team will remind you and teach you what to do, and have fun. a bad team will constantly blame others and not themselves

[heavy crow]

yo is it just me, or the 2nd stage of EDD the twins are kinda insane

[devout wing]

Kinda but for me it might because i had an not so good scout on a team of randoms

[heavy crow]

it just felt weird. the arbalest felt like it shoots projectiles as if lacerator was still alive

[devout wing]

Hmm i dont remember

I was too pissed with the scout

Dude wasnt mining anything, engie was placing a bunch of platforms for nothing

One thing that i felt like on the stage 2 was the lack of nitra, or we were being an extremely ammo hungry squad

[heavy crow]

yeah, this EDD seems like nitra is a huge problem

[devout wing]

Yeah

This week normal deep dive was very chill at least

[hushed sequoia]

in my experience the roof is actually more of a hinderance to anyone on the ground trying to shoot rocks

[unkempt saffron]

Idk what kind of roof the engi made for you, but you are aware theres plenty of space to move around the hearthstone and dotty in order to shoot those rocks right?

[restive trout]

I mean they had a point. My plattform gun was the only gun I didnt really spent much ammo from.

[worn hare]

Well then, I just had my game crash while attempting the new regular deep dive on my ps4 lol rip

At leadt it counted stage 1

[worn hare]

At least second times the charm and thankfully didn’t crash again

[echo storm]

it was tight for the first stage of the edd
otherwise pretty cheese

[gusty meteor]

Nothing crazy in regular deep dive
Not even a cave leech

[unkempt saffron]

Actually there were cave leeches

In stage 2 mainly

[old widget]

Static spawns do differ by player count

[true flame]

where do i see experimental patch note

[next pebble]

@true flame #changelist-only-for-experimental-branch

we've got a whole set of channels dedicated specifically to experimental branch content

[iron summit]

this EDD had me clenched

i appreciated that there was a bunch of narrow tunnels that made blowthrough rounds feel very nice to use

Also the first EDD I have completed

[jolly hazel]

congrats

[rustic fjord]

Is there 2 refuels on the EDD?

[latent raft]

no, drilldozer will always be one stop in deep dives

[rustic fjord]

Ok thanks

[green crown]

this was a fun one, got all 3 done in ~15 minutes per mission while both going down frequently

[sterile viper]

in my experience there was plenty of nitra

[worn hare]

Im starting to think trying to do the elite deep dive solo was a bad idea lmao

Especially when I gotta deal with swarmagedon while refueling cause atm I just got perma damage on the drilldozer

Least im rockin the Hurricane launcher

[chrome vapor]

Hurricane gang

[worn hare]

Holy moly, it took me 32 minutes to get through stage 1 and I almost failed it cause I had to keep repairing the drilldozer constantly since it kept going from 20% to 30% xD

Oh no, low oxygen for stage 2

Welp stage two kicked my ass

Lots of oppressors and menaces

As well as hives and nexus

[atomic badger]

3 stages with morkite on edd, has anyone had any trouble finding enough or should I wait for dark morkite buff?

[latent raft]

maybe i just wasnt on point, but this dd and edd seemed a little more challenging than usual

[atomic badger]

Haven't done the edd yet but we've only had one down in the dd and at least 300 nitra going into each stage

[vital sluice]

there's definitely enough morkite, a different drink would be better

the second stage has the dreadnought far enough that you will have all the morkite anyway

[cosmic tree]

Just unlocked deep dives, what exactly are deep dives?

[ruby badger]

@cosmic tree 3 stage roughly haz3 difficulty series

you just do one map after another

[old widget]

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

[cosmic tree]

Thanks guys!

[ruby badger]

Deep dives is when the real fun happens IMO

[austere oasis]

How is this week's DD? I did the EDD but haven't had a go on the regular one

[ruby badger]

EDD was insane this wk, regular I soloed and had like 500 nitra left over

[austere oasis]

Nitra was sparse in the EDD, for sure

That 2nd stage was rough

And the egg room in the 3rd was wacky and hard to fight in

[echo storm]

1st stage edd was pretty scarce on nitra

also the driller dozer destroys a bunch so it was sad

[ruby badger]

drilldozer destroys it? I always thought it just made it fall to the ground.

[echo storm]

otherwise after the first stage there is more nitra on the 2nd so it is whatever

[glossy walrus]

didn't find 1st stage scarce at all, there was one big vein at the start, maybe one in an intermediate room I forget, 2 in the refueling room, another in the room before the end, and one big vein in the heartstone room

generally pretty accessible unlike last week's stage1 where many were tucked in corners or ceilings

[old widget]

drilldozer just mines minerals, not deletes it, thankfully

[echo storm]

ah ok

[topaz blaze]

we kited the dread (we got twins) to the spawn room

[austere oasis]

you always get twins

in deep dives, the seed also determines the noughts

so it will always be the same

[jolly hazel]

engineer decided to ring the entire hearthstone arena with plats

nitra was scarce for us

or the scout was just retarded

[jolly hazel]

nitra scarce stage 2 too

[echo storm]

i believe you only get like 200 nitra for stage 1 for the edd

[jolly hazel]

stage 3 has most for us i think

also team was very ammo hungry

[echo storm]

that must be it

[jolly hazel]

you get enough

like 3 resups per stage

but because stage 1 puts you at 2.5

you are never at a huge surplus till the egg cave

[echo storm]

the 2nd stage is fine so long as people know how to do the twins

[jolly hazel]

ya we got like

2 opressors and 3 praetorians on an aunnanounced mini swarm

fucked us up

[echo storm]

ahh

[jolly hazel]

https://files.catbox.moe/puxtb7.png

the cave isnt perfect for twins

we cleared out the big middle pillar

[echo storm]

well yeah once you dig out the middle pillar it's fine

[jolly hazel]

I dont think this week was necessarily difficult but the caves and lack of nitra could easily make this unforgiving

driller was running cryo and engie was new lol

I think that was his first completed edd

thanks lol, usually if the engie isn't instapopping swarmers with sentries my kill count gets inflated fast from swarmers lol

plus swarmageddon+swarmer swarm on stage 3

[jolly hazel]

22123 autocannon

max rof and mag size

not ammo efficient at all but it lets me clear swarms off greenbeards

[midnight citrus]

warcrime rounds

[chrome vapor]

I drank 3 leaf lovers in a row

[graceful wyvern]

oof

[jolly hazel]

carpet bomber

[south path]

They're not warcrimes if they're committed against bugs

[hard birch]

🧝‍♂️ this u

[chrome vapor]

no

[vocal saddle]

didnt notice the lack of nitra seemed pretty alright

[tall meadow]

^

Folks be not lookin

[unkempt saffron]

low o2 really do make a dwarf less perceptive to nitra

[velvet salmon]

i swear to god

why dont they take flamethrower

its like the perfect edd for flamethrower

[buoyant wing]

gotta freeze those twins somehow

[long field]

DD + EDD reset this week yet or no?

[pine epoch]

They reset every Thursday at 1 p.m. CET

[long field]

nice, thanks

[jolly hazel]

unless every single piece of extra nitra was in the tunnels in the middle of stage 2, then no we didn't miss any nitra

might have missed the second tunnel out of spawn room in stage 3 but thats it

[rich beacon]

yeah edd stage 2 was pretty tough the rest was alright

[crisp herald]

Hey do deep dives give exp for the season 1 pass?

[gusty meteor]

Yep. every mission does.. but the time involved means better doing regular missions if doing exp farm

AKA: Deep dives do not count for challenges if say have a specific biome challenge

[old widget]

also, due to the way the game calculates PP from gained XP, deep dives are a really bad way to get PP because it treats it as one big mission

e.g. due to the PP:XP curve, you will get noticeably more PP from doing four 5kxp missions than one 20kxp mission

[crisp herald]

Ty!

[lament trail]

There was definitely at least one vein in the tunnels (one that looped back no less so a worthless tunnel otherwise), but most of the nitra in s2 was high up on the walls (with a lot of the morkite too)

[scarlet jewel]

In season 2? What

Oh wait

Im in the wrong channel dont mind me

[lament trail]

We didn't have a scout so it was quite annoying to find (we also missed the dirt exit near the end that was high up, so we ran around for a long time), but weren't really starved for nitra at all

[scarlet jewel]

Back to drg chat

[lament trail]

We were in a group of 2 though, much nicer about nitra efficiency there in general

[jolly hazel]

yeah I was pretty lenient with trigger pulls but most of my team was empty when I was

I was looking up a lot and our scout didn't communicate much

its so nice being able to double dip every time though lol

[midnight shore]

Hey, me and my friends are about to go into a regular deep dive, could anyone tell me what the missions are or where I can find what they are?

[tall meadow]

Pinned messages in this channel

Updates each reset

[midnight shore]

Thanks

[ebon dove]

Can anyone help me make the EDD? I've tried it a few times with randoms and I can't get past the second phase.

[random rampart]

try at your platform's lfg channels

[amber sorrel]

[warped vortex]

the magma core Deep Dive had us down 35 kilometers on the last level, crazy

[gleaming notch]

Same 😭

[severe tusk]

What's the issue?

[stark coral]

did the deep dive elite change since the morikite issue?

[gleaming notch]

Randoms + the 2nd stage requires a Scout for the morkite

[old widget]

yes, this week is fine for overall morkite available, last week was an anomaly

[gleaming notch]

That was a bug right?

[old widget]

yes, it was some kind of corner case in the cave generation, the algorithm is always supposed to generate more morkite than you need, but in this case it generated exactly the right amount. coupled with some other annoyances about handling fractional mineral amounts it went south pretty quick

[gleaming notch]

Damn

I will be so annoyed

[old widget]

it wasn't a big deal once you knew about it, just had to wait for the dark morkite beer and it was a sure thing. but lots of folks went into it not knowing about it and were understandably salty

[wraith shard]

Did they fix the issue with there not being enough Morkite? Ran into it on two deep dives lol

[old widget]

There’s no issue with sufficient morkite this week. Caves have plenty of extra.

[wraith shard]

Awesome 👍

[severe tusk]

Scout is nice, but not required. An EPC mining driller can get the morkite quickly, or just drill up there. Gunners can use ziplines to get to high up veins. Engis can use platforms to jump up to get to them. There wasn't a ton of nitra this week, but my group was never completely starved of it either. Still, it might be easier with just 2-3 players.

[jovial sail]

EDD is a little tight on ammo this week

We hovered between 0 and 1 spare resupplies

[leaden cypress]

Not really

Stage 3 offers a lot of nitra

[manic pivot]

%!s(<nil>)%!s(<nil>)ATTENTION MINERS!%!s(<nil>)
We are hearing rumors that some dwarves are still not done with this weeks %!s(<nil>)Deep Dives%!s(<nil>)!

[astral citrus]

God the EDD this week is rough. Even in stage two I felt like it was just swarmers constantly.

[jolly hazel]

stage 3 has about 3 resups, id say thats normal

but the lack of surplus stage 1 makes it tough

[echo storm]

yea having only 2 for the first stage makes it a little tight

[astral citrus]

It really does feel like you have to build around stage one.

Ammo efficiency is a big deal for it. Something like driller running Sticky Fuel OC to roast enemies alive in the tunnels, Scout with Zhukovs running Embedded Detonators for dozer rocks, stuff like that.

[zealous pond]

Randomly generated dreadnought on EDD stage two

when we were already gasping for ammo

RIP

haven't even fought the actual dread yet

[patent fog]

looking to join a group for my first deep dive as a gunner. anyone need a 4th?

[wanton knot]

my friend and i somehow managed to duo the edd. driller + scout

plenty of nitro for the two of us

[wanton knot]

is mission control ok

[latent basin]

im looking for resources (as in, videos, clips, playthrough, builds) for soloing EDD as scout or driller
if anyone is experienced or know a few things about soloing, i welcome your thoughts and insights

it doesnt matter if it's hard or harder, im willing to play and learn even if it means failing a lot lol

[velvet salmon]

lol you can literally type "edd driller solo" on youtube

[unkempt lantern]

This weeks DD was cake, didn’t die or take a resup in the first stage. Died once in the second stage while reviving. 347 kills as gunner

[coral crest]

yeah, given the biome I was expecting the refinery mission to be a slog

but cavegen was nice this time around

EDD was pretty okay too, for the most part; i got it on the first try, unlike the previous two

I kinda get what people were saying about the Nitra, though. I had like 2 pods worth used and ~34 leftover for stage 1, although I guess the feeling of being low on resources is understandable given it's Escort as the first stage and that generally requires you to use 2 pods minimum

but since it's Escort that can be assuaged with predrilling so you're not trying to mine it while under fire

Stage 2, I'm torn between it being scarce Nitra or if I just didn't have much time to breathe between swarms and mini-waves

like it still had like 4 pods worth of Nitra or close to that? but the Low Oxygen really restricts your ability to outrun the attrition and deal with bugs efficiently

[sterile talon]

hey, im looking for some one to do the elite deep dive with me ? any volunteers ?

[old widget]

Your best bet is the #lfg channel for your platform

[tired needle]

EDD EZ PZ, next plz

[pine epoch]

I'm pretty sure they are randomly generated

[jolly hazel]

no I generate them

[sterile talon]

okay, thx dude, rock n stone

[runic elm]

this weeks EDD was a rush

was doing it duo with a gunner and driller, last mission driller went for the eggs in the ceiling while i covered him from ambushes, when the swarm hit we started getting overwhelmed, driller died to a mactera on the hill, and i had to kite the whole swarm around the room with a sliver of HP to survive

[jolly hazel]

our driller got downed in the egg cluster too lol

[wraith shard]

How about a duo, mon amour? 👀

@latent basin Also no, I'm not stalking you or anything. I was just innocently browsing this chat when I saw a familiar name. Best person to ask for advice for solo Scout EDD would be fellow 🥖 @marble veldt I guess. He can surely provide some thoughtful insights if you're nice :)))

[marble veldt]

WHO SUMMONED M- Oh hey marsii 👋

[wraith shard]

Scout, the fr*nch need you

You probably have a clip of a solo edd

[marble veldt]

I have three videos of a solo EDD

You wound me marsii... How could you not know

😭

[wraith shard]

Perfect. Trinx is the best person ever, they deserve to see them

[marble veldt]

@latent basin No commentary tho, I'm not too keen on that. But I'm open to questions

Will DM the whole thing to them

[latent basin]

[wintry coral]

elite deep dive stage 2, does the drop pod come down on spawn?

[old widget]

drop pod location isn't fixed, it can vary based on dwarf location

[wintry coral]

Ah thank you!

[old widget]

though in general there seem to be only a handful of locations where a pod will drop

[wintry coral]

Oh okay, thank you!

[calm jetty]

Easiest edd i have ever played in my life

[winter jolt]

First edd this week i failed cuz the scout was being inattentive and just kept beating himself up in chat instead of learning from the like 20 downs

also decided to abandon molly, the oxygen producer

second time was super brutal, like it was all swarms all the time

we had to scrape nitra to have enough but we won that, thank god stage 3 is easy

[pulsar siren]

Extreme deep dive for me was uhhh lmao. So many swarms, especially during the escort segment, then we get to the second stage and are barely getting by with nitra and we start having issues finding the rest of the morkite but it was still doable... Then a random dreadnought spawned... Twas the twins as well

[echo storm]

random dreadnought is some other wordly shit

[pine epoch]

‘Erm, we seem to have an issue. The scanners show a Glyphid Dreadnaught heading your way. I think it picked up on the scent of your low ammo.’

[jolly hazel]

you have reached the lootbug kill threshold

[pine epoch]

What now

[jolly hazel]

just joking

[vital steppe]

Howdy howdy everyone 😄

[coral crest]

"Secondary objective completed."

[past wren]

😭

[undone ferry]

besides deep dives whats another way to get overclocks?

[wild egret]

You can get them doing weekly core assignments

[echo sluice]

Play during special events

You’ll get like 2 or something

[manic crag]

Getting ready to try my first elite deep dive, anything i should know before I jump in? 😄

[atomic prawn]

check pins to know what objects/mutators to expect 😂

[jolly hazel]

ideally be able to handle haz 5

[coral crest]

It's basically just regular deep dive but with a higher difficulty. As Chuck said, you should be comfortable with Haz 5 before attempting one. The three stages are H4.5, 5 and 5.5.

[jolly hazel]

I dont believe 5.5 makes the bugs any faster, but they get a little tankier

also know that you can leave dwarfs behind if you absolutely must

if they are stupid or you are already in the pod

Dwarven space magic teleports them into the drop pod

at the end of the stage

[coral crest]

Will they still get the cores?

[jolly hazel]

yes

[coral crest]

nice

[jolly hazel]

as long as the stage is "completed" by somebody

[wraith shard]

We had most trouble in stage 2, drop pod spawned in bad place

Some menace and acid spitter spawned and the route to it was uphill plus it was a sandstorm

Only me (driller) and scout got out

[jolly hazel]

yeah funny low oxygen mining mission

you WILL follow ze mule and you WILL like it

[manic crag]

handy tips, thanks

[pulsar siren]

Fr, always when you're fucked on ammo as well

[jolly hazel]

the start of the praetorian swarm warning sounds a bit like the dread one

that always gets me

[old widget]

yeah we got two praet swarms back to back in EDD stage 2, we moved so slow through the chambers that we ended up tanking a swarm in each of the first three chambers and fought the twins in the fourth chamber

as a bonus though, it meant we left supply drops in each chamber so O2 wasn't a problem when molly inevitably wallwalked her way to attempted dwarven asphyxiation

we did manage to get exactly 240 nitra in stage 1, and had sufficient nitra overall through the stages despite 4(!) supply drops in stage 2

[little oriole]

does these game have local saves or u can switch between PC with same progress?

[random rampart]

Wrong chat

But depends on what platform you're playing on. The game has local and cloud saves, and you can switch your progress files manually only if you're changing from steam to windows/xbox and vice-versa

[little oriole]

what if I switch from PC to PC with same steam

[random rampart]

Cloud saves should help you with that, no manual switching needed

[little oriole]

oki

[jolly hazel]

ya low oxy always takes forever, I kept thinking "we have to go we have to go" every time we spent too long in a cave lol

thankfully we had an old zipline when Molly did the 90 degree special

[reef bison]

Yeah I'd say the 3rd stage just took me by surprise

Mf spitballers everywhere

And I accidentally dropped down on my own with no ammo

Awakening every single fukin enemy in that cave

[vocal saddle]

Yea I don’t know why teammates decided to have a nap in 3rd stage

[reef bison]

The cave was very deceiving

[vocal saddle]

I was engie so I was alright with the the stupid swarmers

[reef bison]

It didnt seem that hostile till you actually got in it

We were 4 gunners

I dont know how we failed

But I had no ammo

So that's my excuse

[vocal saddle]

Yea that 3rd stage was weird

[reef bison]

We cruised 1st and 2nd

[vocal saddle]

I think my teammates dove right in and got gunned down by spitballers and swarmers

[reef bison]

It just went tits up for no reason
But such is the last stage for EDD
Yeah that happened to me

But I didnt mean to dive in

I just fell in

With no ammo

[vocal saddle]

Yea giant hole bruh

[reef bison]

Naked as adam

I was focusing on flying bastards 😂

Didnt see hole

[vocal saddle]

Oof

[reef bison]

Holes are what usually kill me in this game

Not bugs

Just fukin physics

[vocal saddle]

Worst part is there was a cave that lead up around to dirt up top right

But there was stone blocking the tunnel

[reef bison]

Sadge

But ima attempt again later with better friends

Should be ezpz

We do haz 5s always

Just ps cant get any harder than haz 5

[vocal saddle]

Definitely need a engie or driller for the shear amount of swarmers

[reef bison]

Eh gunner with thunderhead worked pretty well

We had like 3 of em

Just needed a class for high dps

Like engi

Fat boy and explosive chemical rounds

Would have been much easier

[vocal saddle]

Turrets

[reef bison]

2 turrets also yes

[vocal saddle]

Mines

The cavegen for egg hunt missions almost always seems to spawn with an opening into a bigger chamber from the drop zone. Never understood why folks /have/ to use that opening when there's a perfectly good path from the drop zone into that chamber by just digging through the dirt and walking down the tunnel. Keeps you from ziplining into TPK on higher haz

[reef bison]

I find stubby with em discharge works great on edd

[vocal saddle]

Cool kids zip line though

😎

[old widget]

indeed

[vocal saddle]

Tactical

Even though that’s the worst tactic

[reef bison]

Shooting 20 ziplines in the ommoran heartstone room

Cant beat it

[vocal saddle]

Spider-Man

[reef bison]

Yes

[old widget]

like a good greybeard on EDD s3 I tried to shepherd our team of...brownbeards?...away from the attractive zipline and towards the tunnel, but it took scout and driller going down in the blind cavern to get engi to follow me down the tunnel

[reef bison]

A web of gunners

Never falling

[vocal saddle]

I feel like if you play long enough you start just doing the dumbest shit

[old widget]

there's definitely some leeroy mmmjenkins going through my head from time to time that leads me to dumb stuff

(I do try to contain those urges on late EDD stages tho)

[vocal saddle]

I do enjoy the thrill of potentially sabotaging an hour long mission

[jolly hazel]

shitbeards

dunning-kruger

[jolly hazel]

I know i shouldn't jump into the enemy swarm with cold radiance but....

[lofty parrot]

The edd second stage was bad. Died twice from the amount of swarms that popped up. We somehow beat it with a green beard with no OCs

[jolly hazel]

I felt the hidden swarm modifier was cranked pretty high

consistently large swarms on all stages

even for haz 5

[vocal saddle]

Yea the last stage was still swarmagedden even if it wasn’t officially there

[jolly hazel]

ya I noticed lots of swarmer spawns outside of stage 1 lol

[shut oracle]

my brother thought it was stage 3 alrdy while it was just stage 2 and spammed his cluster nades inside droppod killing 3 of us lol

idiot

[jolly hazel]

I thought you were damage immune inside drop pod (on the pad not the door)

[shut oracle]

idk its weird sometimes

maybe we were too close to door idk

maybe thats why 1 survived lol

but he was out of nades and we had like no health

at least it wasnt very hard this week

[glossy walrus]

you're not damage immune, you just have high damage resistance (and maybe high shield regen like inside a gunner shield, I forget on the last part)

usually it means you won't die, but it's definitely possible to if you take a big enough hit or are low enough to start with

[jolly hazel]

I have never killed someone dropping 4 cluster grenades

on their face

[glossy walrus]

there's always a first time for everything

[jolly hazel]

I know freeze threshold stays similar

and there's the dmg sounds

so there's definetly something being applied

[old widget]

Asked this question back in July in the wiki channel about damage reduction when standing in the drop pod...consensus was that the game data shows a 100x damage reduction (incoming damage is divided by 100).

So it is possible to take damage. For example, being within the sphere of a bulkdet's "final blow" effect (like if you kill one clinging to the pod) will kill dwarves in the safe zone of the pod on medium/high haz levels. (It does 30000 damage on 4p haz 3 / 68000 damage on 4p haz 5, so 300/680 damage in safe zone of pod)

(Reference here: #wiki-related-chatroom message )

Cluster grenade does 360 damage if all bomblets hit, so max damage of 4x cluster grenades on a dwarf in the safe zone on Haz 5 would be:

4 grenades x 360 damage x 0.70 H5 FF mult / 100 = about 10 net damage

kinda surprised it killed a dwarf TBH, maybe a bug

[brazen cape]

So what to do when Molly is stuck on EDD...

[old widget]

you can dig out under her if she's stuck in the mission and that will fix sometimes

or engi can shoot plats under her

[brazen cape]

didnt work 😦

[old widget]

tried both of those?

[brazen cape]

yep

and c4

😭

[old widget]

weird. might ask in #bug-discussion for other tips

haven't seen that bug crop up in a while

used to be pretty common and those were the fixes

if you can get platforms under her and stand on the plat next to her and call her sometimes that will make her sit down there

basically call on the same spot she's already at

[jolly hazel]

I have never seen it get stuck

[jolly hazel]

thats hilarious, imagine failing because of that

[sharp vault]

is the deep dive (and elite) enemy count dependant on how many players there are?

[warm light]

If you finish the mission and she doesn't get unstuck, she automatically teleports at the last 30 seconds.

[jolly hazel]

yes

[old widget]

Yeah, I think the problem is that if molly gets stuck in the walking motion before drop pod is called then you can’t deposit objectives

[zenith briar]

is the deep dive still the broken one with dodgy morkite?

[slim dragon]

no

[zenith briar]

good

[wicked frigate]

anyone have tips for this week's edd

like what the biggest threats are

judging by the mission types, scout and driller are the most useful

[jovial sail]

O2

Be on VC

Coordinate your O2

[vocal saddle]

Bro so many swarmers

That’s all

[jovial sail]

Definitely have AoE

Pre-drill

[wicked frigate]

I play the game with multiple irl friends so communication is a non-issue

[jovial sail]

Ok so AoE

And predrill because there are quite a few spitballers

[wicked frigate]

sticky flame

[hoary cove]

pre drill takes away the fun

sadge

[jovial sail]

Watch the ceiling, a couple of leeches

[wicked frigate]

i'm good at killing those with my scout

[wicked frigate]

i'm running heightened senses but i'll keep an eye out

[jovial sail]

But all of that’s basically just general advice. Specifically, 100% prioritize sand sharks on part 2

[wicked frigate]

ok

[jovial sail]

I got wiped three times

[hoary cove]

if ur playing with ppl you know, i don’t think it’ll be that useful

[wicked frigate]

You'd be surprised

[jovial sail]

Actually probably better to swap that because it’s only a couple sneaky bastards

[wicked frigate]

Plus it's funny instakilling grabbers at the end of missions

...But you guys are probably right

[jovial sail]

There’s one that gets you in the Ommorran room

[wicked frigate]

Iron will it is

[hoary cove]

i only use heightened senses when soloing edd nowadays

just cus elite grabber is scary

[wicked frigate]

I'll be running my usual (totally not overpowered) setup of hipster m1k and ED zhukovs

[jovial sail]

Definitely build for ammo. Ammo is a bit tight on this run

[jovial sail]

That’s essentially what I run. You may want to take the T1 ammo if you don’t already

[hoary cove]

you might have trouble with swarmers, unless you really trust ur team

[wicked frigate]

that's okay, i'm great at using the joestar family secret technique

[hoary cove]

running away?

[wicked frigate]

yeah

i was hoping you'd get that

[hoary cove]

fair ig

[jovial sail]

Anyway yeah, main specific dangers are ammo and sand sharks

[wicked frigate]

I like having one of each class for EDDs

[jovial sail]

The sharks are a real bitch in the narrow halls on part 2

And you get just enough resupplies

[wicked frigate]

I'll out-bitch the bitchsharks

[jovial sail]

2 for the escort P1

Another three for P2

Last phase isn’t as bad

[wicked frigate]

Well we'll see how we do

I'm happy it's on sandblasted honestly

[jovial sail]

Yes the one-hit is really nice

[wicked frigate]

Way better than something like hollow bough, magma core or glacial strata

those stages can succ pp

[jovial sail]

MC is a bitch on EDDs

[wicked frigate]

agreed

[jovial sail]

Last week’s exploder plant farm was a nightmare

Since I played with randoms

[wicked frigate]

Also a bitch on 3/3 or 2/3 refinery missions

[jovial sail]

And they kept busting them and leaving burning floor everywhere

[wicked frigate]

Randoms moment

[jovial sail]

Plus they were really needed for swarm clear

[wicked frigate]

I don't think I'll ever trust randoms on edds

[jovial sail]

Ehh I manage

[wicked frigate]

brb

[hoary cove]

glacial strata is the easiest biome to me, simply because frost pratorians are push overs

[wicked frigate]

I disagree that glacial strata is the easiest; I hate the generation and the blizzard is annoying too

[hoary cove]

the hardest thing about it is the jellies

everything else isn’t too bad

pratorians being passive creatures makes it feel way more forgiving

[wicked frigate]

I also hate those

I don't like how enemies resist cryo stuff

[jovial sail]

Everything about icebox is just annoying

[wicked frigate]

I once encountered an actually impossible EDD stage 2

the best part about the wettest part of hoxxes is that you get to slip around on ice

I kinda wish you could do that more

[hoary cove]

cryo honestly feels the same in glacial

[hoary cove]

how so

[wicked frigate]

Well not actually impossible but pretty damn close
it was low O2 and we had no choice but to drill our way to the drop pod which was around 160m away from us

the tunnels were extremely thin to get from one room to another

[hoary cove]

did molly go up a resupply hole

[wicked frigate]

like, barely a dwarf tall and wide

[wicked frigate]

lmao probably

[hoary cove]

why didn’t you follow molly

that’s wut i do on low o2

[wicked frigate]

molly walked into an impenetrable wall of bugs and we didnt have the time to chase after her

it was just a really shitty situation

[hoary cove]

no amount of bugs is impenetrable

[wicked frigate]

yes but they slowed us all down so much that we ran out of oxygen or died to bugs

[hoary cove]

you cud say it was very hard but not impossible

[wicked frigate]

yes

[hoary cove]

i had an actually impossible edd a few years ago

[wicked frigate]

but to put across the point of just how hard it is i exaggerated and said it was impossible :)

[hoary cove]

the morkite was glitched inside the drop pod on stage 3. Was very annoying cus i was solo ing it

[wicked frigate]

oof

[gusty fern]

Anyone looking to put together an EDD?

[zealous pond]

I am if you still are

just had a team of greenbeards do great right up until the end of second stage, when scout decided to come back for us instead of book it straight to the pod

[terse delta]

was doing 2p for this EDD, and it was one of my friends first EDD (he also doesn't play haz5), and we were doing so well until second stage, I drilled back to a previous room so we could get the remaining resupply, he died to a leech back in the old room ~100m away, and a swarm started so I couldn't get through the tunnel back, while also needing molly for oxygen

in the end we actually did clutch it out, solod the swarm, then died 5 times against the twins while he carried

first time he ever finished an edd

feels good man

[desert siren]

Is this deep dive doable with scout

Should I try something else

Solo

[shut oracle]

should be np, dont even have escort in normal dd

[atomic prawn]

salvage last stage for DD, but it is DD, so yeah

it'll be fine 😂 if you are good enough

[desert siren]

I mean it's not EDD

I'll let you know how it goes

[atomic prawn]

good thing escort is edd stage 1 😂

[desert siren]

I'm going for Engi actually

[shut oracle]

escort+swarmageddon, no way id solo that on scout lol

[terse delta]

stage 1 edd (swarmageddon + escort) is literally the entire reason I played driller this week

refinery was just a bonus

[desert siren]

Jk went for scout with M1k and zhukov hehehe

[shut oracle]

i run same but it lacks on swarms

i did it on scout but full team

the edd

[gleaming plinth]

Is it me or is this EDD super easy, like nothing very dangerous in it.

[shut oracle]

was easy but that huge cliff drop got me off guard lol

but yeah compared to last week it was supereasy for me

[gleaming plinth]

First run was 4 ppl, second map 3ppl and last map only me and driller left, driller got over 1k kills roasting those swarmers and triggering every nest

[shut oracle]

wonder when the next hollow bough shield disrupt edd is around lol

these tend to be nasty

[gleaming plinth]

Gunner with toxic canone also good af there

[shut oracle]

yeah ntp makes most stuff easy

i usually run scout on edd

cause having a bad scout makes it take forever

[gleaming plinth]

Engi who not place plats on hard to reach by scout nitra just as bad 😩

[shut oracle]

i run hoverclock so aslong as its not over my head i can mine it

i have more trust in random people joining normal haz5 games than edd

every1 wants the ocs from edd so i set myself on maximum carry potential and thats scout for me

[desert siren]

Guess who forgot to swap out field medic and now has a useless active

Do machine events and things in general spawn in deep dives? I don't remember anymore

[shut oracle]

no

only gold, nitra and objective stuff

[desert siren]

Also

Does Bosco recover saves?

Cave leech on stage 2 got me

Motherfucker

[tall meadow]

yes pass each stage

[desert siren]

This feels like cheating

Bosco is already op

[gleaming plinth]

Add worst modifications to make it less op

[desert siren]

Yea

I'm not even using cryo rockets

[shut oracle]

if ur lucky bosco even shoots leech fast enough to save u without revive

[desert siren]

He did

But I landed in lava

[gleaming plinth]

MGS alert sound for leech op af lol

[wraith shard]

I'm going to deep dive soon

[jolly hazel]

don't die

spicy hot take: probably shouldn't bring new secondaries into edd until you are comfortable with them

nothing stopping you from do it, but might struggle with secondaries this different from par

[unkempt saffron]

I will take the new secondaries into the edd and i dont care if theyre the definition of bad

[jolly hazel]

you do you

I usually bring gunner and use AoE autocannon so coil gun doesn't have a huge impact for me

[hoary cove]

new goo is good enough to carry me through haz 5 despite coletta

[jolly hazel]

I am actually very interested in Collette, probably the most outside of the lazer

because of the fire synergy

but then I will have basically no option versus ceiling menace lol

and VIM was carrying me before with goo lol

[little oriole]

anyone know what is like ticking statue ?

[coral crest]

is it black and red

if it is, that's a data deposit

[jolly hazel]

its karls drop pod

[brazen merlin]

How to do omen he die me always

[midnight citrus]

step 1 learn proper english

[vocal saddle]

platforms above the plates so the lasers dont get you

[midnight citrus]

tell engineer to make platforms above the access pads

[plush forge]

Omen is a problem and I wouldn't do it on a deep dive unless you're experienced with it.

BUT, if you want to do it.

[old widget]

... not sure if troll

[midnight citrus]

highly recommend shooting the plama wave thing first

[plush forge]

across from key is the platform that will enable the bottom (IE: purple lasers)

[random rampart]

I don't think machine events spawn on deep dives...

[plush forge]

hmm

[old widget]

nothing "extra" besides bet-c spawns on deep dives

no helmets, cargo crates, korlok, crassus detonator, machine events, prospector, data cell archive, etc.

[midnight citrus]

caretaker in dd

[plush forge]

'magine getting a prospector in there

[vocal saddle]

oh today is wednesday

[jolly hazel]

tbh nemesis seems like a team wiper so I hope it isn't in dives lol

[vocal saddle]

no edd

I guess i sleep

[jolly hazel]

soon

[quiet rune]

would gunner or scout be better for this week’s dive?

[pine epoch]

That ticking statue is natural selection

[old widget]

ok wtf is this ticking statue reference

what am I missing

[jolly hazel]

only thing I can think of is a data deposit

[jolly hazel]

solo?

there's some high up nitra but if you are solo bosco can handle it

so id say gunner?

[soft token]

is this gunner loadout good for the EDD?
21212 Thinned Drum Walls
21321 Clean Hit

[old widget]

Solo?

[iron summit]

I did gunner solo and was on the verge of death many times

[little oriole]

can u eventually upgrade everything in perks?

[midnight citrus]

you will get more than enough points to unlock all perks

[little oriole]

okii

[soft token]

just in general

[iron summit]

i have too much perk points now

[jolly hazel]

I wish I could donate my perk points

[soft token]

just need new perks to spend on

[jolly hazel]

chain hit is kinda mediocre imo

and thinned drum walls is ok but you have no real swarm clear

especially with no blowthrough rounds

if u want a swarm clear revolver, take the classic magic bullets+neurotoxin bullets+explosive bullets combo

minigun build isn't bad itself but I think there are better ocs

with the revolver

definefly take ammo instead of dmg mods

its only 10 extra damage

[soft token]

i only have homebrew powder and clean hit

[jolly hazel]

what about brrt

in that scenario chain hit is best

[soft token]

everyone tells me to not use burst

[jolly hazel]

[hoary cove]

homebrew is pretty good

[jolly hazel]

who is everyone

[hoary cove]

burst pistol is very good, breakpoints are nice it has lots of ammo

[soft token]

literally everyone i have consulted about gunner builds says to use bulldog

[jolly hazel]

homebrow rng is annoying

well

I reccomend brt

especially if you have minigun

and you dont have magic pullets

[hoary cove]

doesn’t really mess with breakpoints when low balling and the range is very favorable 80% to 200%. I prefer it over elephant rounds

[soft token]

but with burst fire i have
Composite Casings, Full Chamber Seal, Compact Mags, Lead Spray and Electro Minelets

[old widget]

The rule of thumb is, one weapon for swarm clear, one for single target

[jolly hazel]

wtf its 200%?

I swear it was 140

[hoary cove]

compact mags and lead spray are both very good

[jolly hazel]

lead spray is very good

[hoary cove]

lead spray deletes big targets and compact mags is a great all rounder

[jolly hazel]

you can switch to blowthrough rounds

with minigun

[soft token]

i typically run 23232 composite

[jolly hazel]

for swarm clear

and run brrt

[hoary cove]

idk who tf ur talking to bro

[jolly hazel]

ok I changed my mind on homebrew lol

200 is nutty

must be only gk2 that has 140

[hoary cove]

like i said it’s a very good range. High balls are very noticeable and it doesn’t screw with breakpoints as much as you’d think

[jolly hazel]

ya cuz one shot faces still

thanks for telling me lol

weird how homebrew isn't uniform

[jovial sail]

It makes a surprising amount of sense

[hoary cove]

ye it’s weird, bulldog has the best version by far

[jovial sail]

Most revolvers can take significantly more chamber pressure than automatics

Due to the solid cylinder design

[midnight citrus]

boi the bulldog fires autocannon rounds

[soft token]

ok back to the discussion of my EDD build
on minigun i have: Thinned Drum Walls, Compact Feed Mechanism, Burning Hell, Exhaust Vectoring, Bullet Hell and Lead Storm
on autocannon i have: Splintering Shells, Combat Mobility and Big Bertha

what loadout is good for the shit ton of swarmers in the EDD

[jolly hazel]

I mean its named the same thing, so you'd assume it is the same overclock, I think its on 3+ weapons and subata is 140 too

[hoary cove]

burning hell is extremely strong

[jolly hazel]

22123 splintering shells or combat mobility if you arent confident in kiting

burning hell would help with swarmers but only up close

pair that with single target brrt

[hoary cove]

which is the only time swarmers matter

[soft token]

then in terms of burning hell what mods do i pack with it

[jolly hazel]

true but I want them dead before I have to worry about them biting my Achilles tendon

[hoary cove]

it’s just a very good overall oc, although it is probably the worst for dreads

[hoary cove]

accuracy, ammo and aggressive venting. Everything else is whatever

actually even tier 1 is kind of whatever

[jolly hazel]

I liked accuracy

but apparently rof is better for ammo?

[soft token]

edd has dread twins

[jolly hazel]

yeah its just one dread

there can be at least 6

[hoary cove]

it’s still good, just not as good as the damage ocs. Also i lied, bullet hell is probably worse for dreads

[jolly hazel]

shouldn't have to build around one dread when 95% of the missions will not involve them

[soft token]

alright so numbers wise what should the burst be using

fucking uhhh ????? Lead Spray

[jolly hazel]

yes

imo

up to you but thats what I'd pick

[hoary cove]

lead spray for burst dmg, compact mags for sustain and general use

[soft token]

im talking weapon mods now

not the overclocks

[jolly hazel]

23121

wait

[hoary cove]

weakpoint dmg, accuracy, stun,

[jolly hazel]

23221

weakpoint over ammo?

[hoary cove]

100%

[jolly hazel]

eh

[hoary cove]

weakpoint dmg let’s you delete everything

[jolly hazel]

I'm usually stick shooting the dumbass menace and maybe 1/5 shots is hitting its face/sacs

[hoary cove]

weakpoint is the only thing i’d say is not optional

[jolly hazel]

I think accuracy is more important for brt

[hoary cove]

lead spray already has a shit ton of ammo for the dmg it can dish out

with weakpoint dmg you can burst down menaces and pratorians really goddam fast

the accuracy decrease is really nothing

[jolly hazel]

oh thatz the uh

ammo mod tier

accuracy is t1

I'll try weakpoint out tonight but I am often shoved into situations where I can't take advantage of the weakpoints and also 120 ammo

I havent used revolver in a while so im not used to not having oodles of ammo

[hoary cove]

the only times more ammo helps is menaces

everything else weakpoint dmg shreds

i can still hit weakpoints on menaces within a certain range anyways

[soft token]

23231 Lead Spray on burst

now whats for minigun

[jolly hazel]

menaces are usually what im using brrt on lmao

[jolly hazel]

thats more preference

[soft token]

21312 Burning Hell should be fine then right

[jolly hazel]

personally I'd do 21311

because you are trying to overheat

no

last upgrade is 1

always

[hoary cove]

i thought you use burst pistol with ac. Don’t u use burst on prats, wardens, oppressors and bulks?

[jolly hazel]

I pray to Allah that someone else is taking care of them

because I have killed every grunt

but you have a good point

[hoary cove]

So you shoot at buffed grunts?

why

just lead spray them

[soft token]

that would be if im using 21313 for the fire shots

but ive already got burning hell

so im using 21312 to stay in the fight longer

[hoary cove]

never use cold as the grave with burning hell

it’s by far the worst option

[jolly hazel]

if warden is not visible there is no optoon

[soft token]

dont kills with burning hell also cool down the gun

[hoary cove]

If i only used lead spray on menaces i wud never run out of ammo with it

[hoary cove]

yes but sustain is not needed with burning hell

aggressive venting is literally just a free shield

hot bullets is free dps

[soft token]

weapon overheats faster
you sure i dont need sustain?

that sounds like itll get me killed

[hoary cove]

over heating faster is a good thing with AV

use it trust me

[soft token]

i dont want to because i hate overheat mechanics

[jolly hazel]

its shorter and much more workable with venting

you are going to overheat anyways and the heat gen makes trying to sustain harder and lowers ur dps because you will spend more time cooling

[soft token]

if i die because im unable to shoot im blaming both of you

[jolly hazel]

you have a secondary

in that situation I'd take ammo instead of weakpoint lol

cuz u might be stuck not shooting weakpoints but I digress

[jolly hazel]

no ill still shoot the warden with brrt lol, its just not always close or visible

also I dont lead spray grunts why would I if I have splash god ac

[wraith shard]

how i can promotion my hero?

[random rampart]

Wrong chat, #drg-chat is the place

[little oriole]

what do u need to do for 3rd weapon mission btw?

do I need higher level?

[toxic mantle]

Wrong chat #drg-chat is the place.

[hoary cove]

the fear effect from AV lasts as long as the overheat

[soft token]

you won’t believe how i died

outta grenades and i overheated

[fierce pecan]

how much time is left for the deep dives?

[somber hatch]

like a day i think

[iron summit]

They reset at Thursday 7:00am EST

[hushed sequoia]

if you dont like overheat you probably shouldnt be using burning hell

[jolly hazel]

so I tried out weakpoint + dmg on brt

ammo so loe

well, the bot mentioned new deep dives

[urban stratus]

ye
but will there be even newer deep dives when the season 2 drops

thereby i could hypothetically run a deep dive in the 5 hour window between

what are "even newer deep dives"

like uhhhh just another generated deep dive different from the last

it's always like that and to me "new deep dive" means exactly that

The hardest objective this week was the drill dozer
The low oxygen cave was pretty easy to navigate

rival presence

[urban stratus]

sounds fun

[jolly hazel]

lol does that mean nemesis in deep dives?

[topaz plank]

I think so

[tall badge]

I hope so

[topaz plank]

Would be a great introduction to it

[north urchin]

Oh boy rivel in EDD this is going to hurt.

[broken shore]

EDD 2nd = kill 2 dreadnoughts + 150 morkite / parasites

[topaz plank]

Oh god

[quiet mortar]

Legend

[topaz plank]

Was the new enemy type there by any chance?

[vivid zinc]

huh

[quiet mortar]

It can also be a random spawn, so it's really up to RNG, but I don't think it's guaranteed in this Dive (So Far)

[topaz plank]

Ok thanks for the info!

OK 2 eggs and mules with low gravity and mactera plague, could an issue

Oh wait other way round, that going to be an issue

[brazen musk]

Well...I wonder if this means console gets a different edd

[quiet mortar]

That... is very likely

Damn

[brazen musk]

I wonder if it's different maps, or the same without rivals

[broken shore]

EDD 2nd dreadnoughts is hiveguard + classic

[quiet mortar]

Potentially entirely different

[brazen musk]

If you use cryo you get destroyed by the robots if you use flamethrower you get destroyed by dreads

[lusty fiber]

Fuck rival presence

They could've at least kept it out of dd's

I love new stuff

But everyone's argument for bots being hard was "well, you prepare accordingly"

[brazen musk]

It it was DD maybe but EDD is just scary as hell

[lusty fiber]

But now I will either be useless entire stage(cryo driller)

Or just not play my main

[quiet mortar]

It's fine, I mean the new Mineral is in DD Stage 2, so this dive could be erased tomorrow anyway 😢

[topaz plank]

I assume RP is a pain for today's edd?

[brazen musk]

Bruh

[quiet mortar]

I know lmao

[brazen musk]

Volatile impact mixture it is

If you are into that

[broken shore]

EDD 3rd = 250 morkite + 1 dreadnought / no mutators

[candid bobcat]

time to bring the sludge supremacy

[brazen musk]

I'll be dreaming of dreads tonight

[topaz plank]

Time to bring out face melter

[brazen musk]

Won't be great against the 3 dreads but since face melter is about that direct damage...I guess?

[lusty fiber]

What I love about sludge pump and the driller itself is the reliance on DoT weapons and effects

I would absolutely bring goo gun, just to test the thing out, but I love it for it's ability to slow large group of enemies

Not for direct damage

[brazen musk]

I get that

Unfortunately the enemies don't seem they'll allow it

[lusty fiber]

+I don't think I have volatile impact, I have dispenser or whatever maximizes puddles amount

I'm just very sad

They basically made a whole class useless

Not class, but rather subclass

Cryo driller

[brazen musk]

Do you have ice storm

[lusty fiber]

After such a long time and absurd amounts of bad luck with driller overclocks not even being an option at core infusers I finally got tuned cooler

And forced to not use it

[lusty fiber]

I barely have any overclocks for driller

So no

[broken shore]

edd 3rd dreadnought is hive guard

[brazen musk]

rip

[topaz plank]

Oof

[analog brook]

do we know what the console DD's are yet?

[frozen fable]

the randoms im trying to join jsut finished their mission but im still fucking loading

[sick lake]

Its not the same as pc?

Oh just saw the pinned nvm

[analog brook]

first mission of DD is the same

second is too

im curious about the first mission of the EDD

cuz we dont have rival presence yet

[sick lake]

DD lookin pretty mild tbh. I dig it

[analog brook]

yup same as last week, very easy 👍

really not looking forward to 3 dreads in hte edd tho

2 hiveguards.....

[sick lake]

Hate to jinx it, but no Low O2 or a haunted cave in the DD for a long while

Im too much of a pleb for EDDs so im not concerned lol

[analog brook]

we had low oxy last week

oh ya, low oxy for the edd

ive never had teh misfortune to deal with haunted caves tho

[sick lake]

DD had haunted cave i wanna say about a month ago

Feels like im handicapping myself in collecting OCs by not even trying EDDs but i am just not willing to sweat that much lol

[analog brook]

first mission isn't sweaty

second is usually pretty hard

and u have to cross ur fingers the third one is the best modifiers and objectives uve ever seen or ur not finishing it

[jolly hazel]

eh

I've had some pretty simple edd in the past

all depends on your comfort level with haz 5

[old widget]

Oh nice, looks like we’ll get to meet Nemmy right off the bat in EDD

[jolly hazel]

the tears shall flow

[slim oasis]

and crab shall grab

[old widget]

Time For Crab

[unkempt saffron]

dios mio, rival presence

[jolly hazel]

tbh grabbing the edd hypercarry then flooding a small corridor with bombs doesnt sound fun

because the bombs aren't guaranteed to be spread out like in a sabotage boss cave

genuine challenge

[soft token]

rival presence in the EDD

ooga

hope that counts for the seasonal missions

[neat charm]

the prospect of nemesis on uplink scares me

[solar epoch]

i have a problem when i start the game the screen is all black

in ha

[forest tapir]

yeah new update crashed alot and try to install mod

[obtuse pasture]

rival presence EDD.. is some ugly shit man

[split mason]

rival presence on the edd is impossible

[burnt sandal]

check pinned message in #bug-discussion

[junior tangle]

some real nasty stage 1 this week

[split mason]

driller literally doesn't have a primary weapon choice

you either go with the flamer or you die

[junior tangle]

2 bulks 2 nemeses

[split mason]

3

[junior tangle]

and a lot of death

[split mason]

3 nemesis

[junior tangle]

we didn't get to the 3rd one :/

[split mason]

I tried 2 times, 3rd time we saw that there are actually 3 of them

[junior tangle]

how naive I was thinking that at least I'll be free from the robots during dives

[split mason]

they have to do something in order to at least give driller a chance against bots with primaries other than the flamer

[unkempt saffron]

epc plasma burn

poop gun can do some solid dps at least
