#

in those situations scout is genuinely worse

#

its still good, as its scouts only real waveclear primary

#

can't have a generalist class

mental urchin
#

engi still exists

jolly hazel
#

engie does not have much mobility outside of down and rj250

mental urchin
#

or aquarqs, or refining

jolly hazel
#

no those don't require you to defend a fixed spot

#

you can still kite around

mental urchin
#

you simply cant hang around for too long since waves are growing bigger with time

#

and by the time you clear one, the other spawns in

jolly hazel
#

kill better

mental urchin
#

oh my bad

jolly hazel
#

of course u can't just fuck around

#

but you can at least use the scouts tools

neat talon
#

Scout can solo things just fine, and the crossbow can be set to do all sorts of interesting things, and embedded detonators are great but you can do similar things with the crossbow if you want to mix things up.

jolly hazel
#

versus being forced to do the thing scout sucks at

#

I tried ghetto detonators with trifork and it felt a little clunky

#

mostly because projectile versus hitscan

neat talon
#

Trifork is kind of tricky for general use. I've got a dread strategy for it, but still figuring it out for general exploration

mental urchin
#

whatever ill just main driller for now

jolly hazel
#

based

mental urchin
#

gotta hit that plat promotion

neat talon
#

I just don't have a feel for what to hit with the triforks yet

jolly hazel
#

I just save for anything bigger than a goo bomber

#

I am pretty sure it one shots a warden

neat talon
#

That's good to know

jolly hazel
#

bodkins felt pretty good

neat talon
#

I'd like to use it outside of elimination..

jolly hazel
#

but slow

neat talon
#

Bodkins are my jam right now.

#

I think, if you add banshee modules and the speed boost after kills, it really mitigates the reload speed

#

Things scatter, you kite easier... but there's a big risk/reward, cause if you miss you get punished

jolly hazel
#

I just usually feel

#

why am I not using my primary

#

with bodkins

#

unless its like m1k single target build

neat talon
#

Oh, well I think you spec your primary for big bugs, and use the bodkins on the lil bugs, if you want to run bodkin

#

Glyphids and mactera to spread ricochets, then primary for praets and armored stuff

void vector
#

taser bolts are OP right now, here's hoping devs drag their feet with fixin' em.

neat talon
#

I don't know that they're OP, you have to spend a lot of them to get that sweet stacking DoT

void vector
#

specialist - taser bolts - extra special bolts.. 21 bolts with is it 19.5 second duration. Two bolts into anything stops them in their tracks and does steady damage.

#

Especially on bots

neat talon
#

That's a build idea... nice

#

I hadn't thought to go all in on taser bolts like that but that sounds really fun

void vector
#

Yeah I used it on this EDD, Plasma Carbine with impact deflection as primary. Used the normal bolts from crossbow as sniping/extra damage

#

Worked nicely

glossy walrus
#

double taser was good even before the patch that fixed the arc not applying, looking forward to when console gets that to make it even stronger

#

super nice on dreads, horror included

echo storm
#

i will always use drak and nuk 25s

plain narwhal
#

question for the masses - how hard is the EDD normally? I have never attempted it before. My squad and i generally just run haz3 missions and find most normal deep dives to be slightly difficult but doable

azure quail
#

coordination helps

#

also keep in mind EDD difficulty is haz 4.5-5-5.5

neat talon
#

There will be a massive jump in difficulty from haz 3/DD to EDD.

plain narwhal
#

Thank you!

prisma oxide
#

Wanted to do solo EDD before I saw haunted cave dreadnought kill

#

Ummm

#

No

old basin
#

it's twins so it's not as bad as it sounds

#

you just keep them up in the landing room & circle a bit more carefully than usual to avoid the horror

prisma oxide
#

Twins are my worst tho, especially at high diff.

#

Too fast and when 4 balls fly paralel to the ground, rip

old basin
#

they're the easiest imo

#

esp when the ghost is involved

prisma oxide
#

Hiveguard > Regular > Twins imo

devout jetty
#

Mhm

prisma oxide
#

Hiveguard is just a slog

#

But not really a threat

#

Regular can kill you instantly if you arent careful and sometimes bit hard to hit

#

Twins just dash around too much, even if you can shoot anywhere

#

With a team, they are easiest tho

old basin
#

i find them to be a pain in the ass with a team honestly

#

but then again that's mostly because half the lobbies i end up in completely ignore arbalest, so we end up wasting a lot of ammo for no real reason

odd vector
#

i tend to only attack arbalest because it seems no one else does lol

prisma oxide
#

They can both be pinged and focus on diff ppl so not as much of a threat someone dies

#

Dunno, seems its about 50/50

#

I just shoot on what I see

burnt sandal
#

everyone's got a different opinion on the dreads, if anything it means they are mostly well balanced

prisma oxide
#

Each is quite unique

neat talon
#

or am I missing sarcasm...

neat charm
#

the haunted modifier in stage 2

#

theres an invincible bulk constantly chasing you that can only do its normal attack

neat talon
#

No I mean, how are the twins easier with ghost

old basin
#

it's the way they move

neat charm
#

id say its because you can actually move across rooms

#

without the bulk catching up

old basin
#

in solo it's really easy for hiveguard / classic & the ghost to sync up their movements

#

so you spend a decent amount of time waiting for them to finally desync enough to actually get some damage in, as otherwise you either have the ghost eating bullets, or just preventing you from getting close enough for weapons like boomstick to be effective on their weak points

neat charm
#

stage 2 wouldve been an absolute nightmare if the dread was a hiveguard

old basin
#

whereas with twins they're fairly mobile (+ move around a lot, obviously) & you can shoot anywhere, alongside not having to deal with wasting time during damage phases

old basin
#

it's already the most ammo-hungry in solo due to the sentinels always rotating as fast you move for some reason, alongside having the most effective health when you factor in sentinels even with the weakpoint bonus

#

so having something that just eats bullets alongside a limited damage window is an actual nightmare

olive crown
#

The Twins aren't too much of a problem if you clear a spot to handle them.

#

However it's really easy for them to get popped early because the egg is in a really shitty spot and if the Horror decides to path through it your run can be over before it begins.

dapper musk
#

ive got experience with deep dives both in co op and solo. would you say theres any prerequisites before going into EDDs?

neat talon
old basin
#

i find them to be the easiest in general when it comes to solo in general

#

hiveguard is technically straight-up the easiest but it's such an ammo sponge that it barely gets itself above the twins

slow rover
#

much less clunky than taser swap

#

get to keep pheromone util

neat talon
#

Twins trip me up just because I'm having to track two things that can kill me instead of one. I like me dreadnaught classic, at least as scout, where I can get to his weakspot easily enough

old basin
#

classic is the hardest but that's solely because it can one tap you :P

neat talon
slow rover
#

EFS m1k and trifork is my go-to nowadays

#

it handles robots really well too

neat talon
#

Stack the IFG and conductive shafts and it hits hard as shit

old basin
#

trifork is just clunky to use imo
it requires setup & anything trifork does can be done better by embedded dets zhukov

slow rover
#

boltshark comes with pheromones though

#

which are pretty good

neat talon
#

It does require setup, but the tase slowdown really simplifies things for me.

#

It just feels right hunting it with a crossbow lol

slow rover
#

in the end its just about having fun

#

and its a lotta fun

neat talon
#

But I've used embeded dets too, and I feel you. They wreck dreads and oppressors

old basin
slow rover
#

variety is good anyways

#

the game wouldn't be very fun if its just one or two builds for endgame

neat talon
#

I don't think you can pair embedded dets with any decent cc option that works on dreads, but I could be wrong. I find IFGs too hard to use effectively when they're at full spped.

old basin
#

i think trifork could be really good if it just didn't suffer from spread anywhere near as much as it does
since then it'd have a legitimate niche as a long-range, high burst option instead of just filling the same niche embedded dets does

slow rover
#

it basically mandates the use of magnetic shafts yeah

old basin
#

but atm i feel like it's just a trap, esp since every other crossbow OC has a justified, viable use

neat talon
#

Yeah, but magnetic shafts are good, and scout has a ton of options for electric

old basin
neat talon
#

And magnetic shafts help with the spread since it pulls arrows into it

slow rover
#

its a mid range homing burst with small setup

#

that provides special bolts

#

its a good sidegrade

#

also very satisfying

old basin
#

the spread of the bolts usually puts the outer two out of range of shaft homing at the same range embedded dets starts to become too inconsistent to aim effectively

slow rover
#

i rarely use embedded

#

so i cannot comment

#

but anything that isn't like

#

across the whole cave

slow rover
#

i just use the m1k

neat talon
#

embedded will nearly one mag an oppressor, it's fun

old basin
#

i've only touched dets once since S2 came out

#

crossbow is by far my favourite secondary & i've been using it almost exclusively

neat talon
#

Anyways the DDs are fun... lol

slow rover
#

standard waveclear m1k with efs is definitely a great pairing with triforks

#

i've played exclusively that for the past 5 hrs on scout or something

#

you could try it!

prisma oxide
#

Its pretty good

old basin
#

standard waveclear is just hipster/blowthrough, right?

slow rover
#

it definitely

prisma oxide
#

Hard vs twins tho

slow rover
#

sucks ass at killing oppressors

#

because pierce resist

prisma oxide
#

Need to break trough armor

#

Then hit them before they hide

slow rover
#

but with efs instead

#

13213

old basin
#

ah
i tried running the minimal clips build but it just doesn't fit my playstyle well

slow rover
#

there's definitely a heavy overreliance on the m1k over the boltshark though

#

i always run out of ammo before even hitting 40% on the boltshark

#

could be a player issue

slow rover
#

it definitely felt strange since i played only sbb drak

#

before that

#

but its really high power

#

you can definitely outperform engies

prisma oxide
#

tapbs wildly into crowd

slow rover
#

you also consume ammo as fast as they do

prisma oxide
#

3 bullets/grunt

old basin
# slow rover could be a player issue

it's a mission issue a lot of the time
i've had some missions where i've torn through bolts & others where i've went through multiple resupplies without the bolts going down more than 4-5 inbetween

prisma oxide
#

runs out of ammo all the time

#

Welp

slow rover
#

it falls off really hard if you're not one tapping 70% of your targets

#

xd

old basin
#

and tbf the standard waveclear just meshes really poorly with explosive/cryo bolts

prisma oxide
#

Explosive ones are pretty meh

#

Fun to use, but if there are any teammates, driller/gunner will probably just slide his cursor past your wave and deletes it before it even goes off

slow rover
#

Explosives never work

old basin
#

i've found them to be super good personally, esp in solo
hipster focus shot / weakpoint hit + bolt is an instant grenade p much

slow rover
#

:(

#

At least not in groups

prisma oxide
#

They work, just hit with it and execute with mk1

slow rover
#

You’re just not going to be left alone with a big group

old basin
#

it's defo obnoxious to use in groups sometimes

slow rover
#

Max value I’m getting is like

prisma oxide
#

Yupp, thats the issue

slow rover
#

2 collaterals

prisma oxide
#

I like pheromon bolts

#

By far best

slow rover
#

Its more like

#

The other two suck

prisma oxide
#

pops it on oppresor

old basin
#

but then again the groups i've been in where they haven't worked are the same groups that start flaming a breeder i've already marked with two cryo bolts, so they're usually not willing to let you do anything :P

prisma oxide
#

Then that deletes wave for me

#

Shame it doesnt count as your kills

slow rover
#

I only found taser bolts to be useful with the infinite duration bug

#

Then it was pretty funny

old basin
#

they absolutely suck

slow rover
#

Otherwise meh

waxen terrace
#

explosives are now better since they detonate faster

old basin
#

still waiting for them to actually implement the damage buff though

slow rover
#

They might be better but like

waxen terrace
#

but if you ask me, if youre using m1k for priority kills use bodkin for the xbow

prisma oxide
#

You can take electric to tag stuff for shafts if you take cryo grenades

waxen terrace
#

also pheromones >>>>

old basin
#

i feel like people really oversell pheromones
they're really good but they're also not the be-all-end-all that people make them out to be

prisma oxide
#

They are great CC

slow rover
#

I think its because you can carry both those and cryo nadea

waxen terrace
#

its not gonna kill stuff, but it makes dealing with HVTs in a swarm easier

slow rover
#

That’s the selling point

waxen terrace
#

nah

prisma oxide
#

If teammates dont all target now glowing enemy -.-

waxen terrace
#

phero + ifg

prisma oxide
#

Jesus stop killing my pheromoned stuff

#

Im using it

slow rover
#

The point is you can have pheromones without actually using the nade slot

waxen terrace
#

its good for oppressors when it isnt facing you

slow rover
#

That’s why you might even consider using boltshark over the other secondaries maybe

prisma oxide
#

Its great secondary

#

Extra miningranades is a bonus

old basin
prisma oxide
#

I managed to do 1.7k dmg to dread somehow with it

slow rover
#

I cannot run cryo bolts

#

Everytime i did

prisma oxide
#

At least thats what the mod said :P

slow rover
#

I had a flame driller

#

The driller really gotta

#

Burn a 90% frozen target

old basin
#

yeah

slow rover
#

🥺

prisma oxide
#

Just leave and go exploring alone :P

#

The scout way

slow rover
#

🎣

old basin
#

"hey guys i found a cave leech"

slow rover
#

It got me

prisma oxide
#

You "scouted" a leech

#

Then team walks into it one by one as you type again and again in the chat

old basin
#

tbh i haven't actually been caught by a leech in ages
& the last one i was caught by was one of those low ceiling ones

waxen terrace
#

me feeling bad for cryo bolt scouts bc crispr and sludge drillers are extremely common this season now with RP and the sludge buffs

slow rover

RP?

prisma oxide

slow rover

Oh ty

#

Wave cooker definitely made sticky flames a lot better

old basin
#

sticky flames were always good though?

slow rover
#

I still prefer cryo epc though

waxen terrace
#

i rather just use subata by then cause cwc tempshock is annoying to reapply now

slow rover
#

Sticky flames lacked sustained single target dps

#

That’s like about it really

waxen terrace
#

yea just use subata

slow rover
#

Maybe but

old basin
#

all driller primaries lack sustained single target besides like, face melter or cryo + subata

slow rover
#

I personally don’t like that gun

waxen terrace
#

cryo also sucks with single target dps unless youre using ice spear

slow rover
#

Cryo drills maybe

#

A combination of drills/axe cancelling

prisma oxide
#

Ice spear is pretty epic single target tho

slow rover
#

Its fine enough

waxen terrace
#

it makes all other weapons excel at single dps, but the gun itself still takes forever to kill tanky stuff

old basin
#

cryo drills is still mostly CC though

slow rover
#

That’s true

#

Its good that there’s a better mix of drillers now though

slow rover
#

You melt oppressors with temperature shocks

#

That’s about it really

hoary cove
#

melt is a strong word there

#

it doesn’t kill faster then subata

slow rover
#

Disbars?

hoary cove
#

lol mb

slow rover
#

Maybe not, but you don’t need to displace as much

#

And i play fairly stationary with sticky flames driller

hoary cove
#

it was only really good at killing oppressors when it was bugged

slow rover
#

Has it been changed?

waxen terrace
#

yes

slow rover
#

I haven’t played with it since week 1

#

I just assumed it was the same

hoary cove
#

no

slow rover
#

Uh oh

#

😭

waxen terrace
#

you have to reapply burn everytime you trigger tempshock now

slow rover
#

Wasn’t that the case already

waxen terrace
#

and for oppressors itll take ages with sticky

hoary cove
waxen terrace
#

no on day 1 it didnt dispel heat

slow rover
#

I personally didn’t feel like the reheating cycle was bad

slow rover
#

But thanks for letting me know

#

👍

waxen terrace
#

yea cause on day 1 they remained burnt after each temp shock

#

now they reset to 0

slow rover
#

Ohhh

#

Because i remember them only resetting to half heat

waxen terrace
#

yea that got fixed

slow rover
#

It was pretty easy to set them back on fire from that point rip

hoary cove
#

it’s still good, just not op

waxen terrace
#

now its slower than subata in gunning down burning HVTs in the butt

lyric bridge
#

Use two pyro drillers and take turns temp shocking while the other maintains pyro flow 🥸🥸

I feel like the dread on the second mission is probably the hardest part of this weeks edd

#

it's otherwise not horrible

signal spear
#

EDD is really tough this time, what gunner weapon should I bring? Minigun or AC?

cursive kestrel
#

Autocannon or the hurricane

#

You want it specced for aoe heavily

signal spear
#

I tried max firerate max AoE ac, but it's such an ammo hog

cursive kestrel
#

It isnt if you use neurotoxin payload

signal spear
#

y-yeah I have that... h-ha...

cursive kestrel
#

Even carpet bomber or splintering shells will cut it

signal spear
#

oh, I used carpet bomber. Should I take off firerate?

cursive kestrel
#

I dont think accuracy benefits the autocannon much

#

Because its never pinpoint accurate either way

#

Did you use your secondary effectively as well?

#

Because carpet bomber is your aoe kit, so your secondary will need to do the heavy lifting for killing the big bugs

#

Overly relying on just 1 gun will screw you badly on edd

#

Being wasteful with your shots too

signal spear
#

I used my neurotoxin+elephant rounds revolver, but that's low on ammo too

#

Should I have just used the brt?

cursive kestrel
#

Elephant is fine

#

So long as you dont miss

terse delta
# signal spear Should I have just used the brt?

If you find yourself using your secondary in close quarter situations only, then take lead spray brt, otherwise, elephant is good because it still has perfect accuracy on the first shot, letting you snipe

cursive kestrel
#

If your kit is fine, the only thing left is gitting gud

signal spear
cursive kestrel
#

EDD is hard, no questions about it

terse delta
#

What is the edd this week like

cursive kestrel
#

Hellish for the first 2 stages

terse delta
#

but why was it hellish

cursive kestrel
#

1st stage is swarmers/jellies every 10 secs

#

Very ammo draining if you don use your aoe gun effectively

signal spear
#

the haunted stage is worse

#

especially since our scout just rushed eggs when we needed to resupply notnice

cursive kestrel
#

2nd stage is haunted in a terrible cave and very warm hoxxes welcome

#

Egg hunts should never be rushed unless your teams on the ball

#

More casual teams should clear the cave systematically

#

Then pull eggs once everybody is ready

signal spear
#

90 ammo in my minigun and 0 shields when the swarm warning comes up dstare

terse delta
#

reminds me of a particular salt pits EDD where it was morkite mining, which made the cave absurdly tiny and twisted, then warning was horror, then secondary was kill a dread which made it so much worse

cursive kestrel
#

Pulling egg in 20 secs into the mission is suicide

terse delta
#

not really

#

everyone is full on ammo

#

but if your team is not coordinating then it is never a good idea to surprise them with an egg

#

ready checks save lives

cursive kestrel
#

I do edd with randos and yes

#

My fails are 80% attributed to randos pulling eggs without warning

#

Or rushing down into the pit and dying there

#

Leaving me alone with the initial spawns, the ghost and no nitra

terse delta
#

I also play with randoms, ready checking is normal at least on my servers

#

Only time I solo EDDs if its no dozer, or no refinery

#

because it just takes so long as scout its not worth imo

cursive kestrel
#

Refinery is chill with driller solo

#

Just zen

#

Even with a dread in the mix

#

The pipes are just so clutch to escape

#

Need a breather? Pipes to the rescue

#

Resupply? Plant a pod next to pipes for easy access

#

Low o2 is best solo too

glossy walrus
#

I do find accuracy useful on ac, because while it's never accurate, taking accuracy means fewer shots wasted before the thing's aim finally calms down and I can shoot somewhere near where I'm aiming

#

I'm using ntp so don't really need the fire rate anyway, it's probably a closer choice for cb or ss

cursive kestrel
#

For carpet bomber firing rate is better imo

#

Because it needs to shoot until it kills

#

Unlike neuro that can stop once everything is running scared and poisoned

#

And for swarmer purposes, i find i mostly aim at the general direction or my feet

#

Never actually going for direct hits unless the thing is praet sized or above

waxen terrace
#

carpet bomber defo doesnt need the accuracy cause it has a giant aoe

#

only one that really needs accuracy is big bertha, and it already has reduced spread

terse delta
#

Sometimes I really don't see the appeal of the autocannon for normal swarms

#

Leadstorm gets blowthrough, and is way more accurate at base

#

seriously though

#

I run leadstorm leadstorm, BT + cold as grave
I never overheat, meaning I never need to "reload", and blowthrough just rips apart lines of bugs

waxen terrace
#

blowthrough doesnt work if the bugs are crawling on a wall

terse delta
#

It doesn't need to, LSLS still does more damage than BB while maintaining its accuracy to hit those wall bugs

#

It doesn't hit multiple bugs on the wall true, but I can just let them crawl down

#

I understand there are definitely situations where AC is 100% better

#

but some of those seem so niche, and at least in my experience with the general situations, LS just outperforms

waxen terrace
#

ehh not really

terse delta
#

but who am I to know, I'm no professional

#

its merely my opinion

waxen terrace
#

autocannon has way more coverage for swarm clear than the minigun would ever have even with penetration

#

closest thing the minigun has for aoe is burning hell which is close range

terse delta
#

Could you recommend me a carpet bomber build? I would like to try

#

my current AC is rate of fire BB

#

on t5 you can also go for more dmg on spinup if you want, just dont take fear

Im not particularly fond of damage resistance on a weapon, not saying its bad just dont really find i need it at all

rocky cipher
#

when a slasher hits you and you still have shields youll understand

junior fossil
#

the damage resistance is there for getting swamped, it really depends on playstyle

unkempt saffron
#

If i get swarmed i just drop a shield, works easy enough for me

rocky cipher
#

I have a bias though, Im a BIG fan of tank gunner

junior fossil
#

sometimes the shield goes on cooldown 😛

#

a swarm iirc is like 3 mins, a shield is 30 sec, you can get swarmed several times in that time

unkempt saffron
#

The swarms wont be coming at you instantly, thats why i move around an clump the swarm up if possible

#

If they do end up overwhelming then drop a shield and boom reset

junior fossil
#

sometimes they show up from the wrong spot though 😛

#

the surprise trijaws are amazing

unkempt saffron
#

Even if they do theres not going to be an overwhelming amount of them too

rocky cipher
#

oh boy

unkempt saffron
#

Its simply a matter of making space and staying aware, thats all

rocky cipher
#

when the game silently spawns a wave of slashers and grunts , while you deal with swarmers for swarmagedon we will see

If youre using cb then swarmers arent a threat, more of a joke

what are some general tips for elite dives?
I feel ok on Haz 5 and on normal dives, but I really struggle with EDDs

odd rover
dapper musk
#

did my first Elite deep dive. we lost on the second level, near the end

#

due to a couple teammates dying , we had to gather at the same spot for some time. ghost sploder came upon us and cleaned us off

#

last guy with iron will ressed me but then the final of the twins did us in permanently. sad

#

gonna try again

# vast shuttle what are some general tips for elite dives? I feel ok on Haz 5 and on normal div...

Do the same stuff you do in Haz 5 just a tiny bit faster essentially. Be proactive about terrain clearing, setting up ziplines, always focus on nitra first, think ahead as driller about where to put ramps or tunnels to help the team. Try to keep the place lit as well as possible as scout without wasting all your flares.. just usual haz 5 stuff really, just need to crank up the speed and situational awareness a tiny notch.

cursive kestrel
#

Also helps to memorize the stages

#

Memorizing where the nitra and objectives cut down time spent exploring

void vector
#

As gunner on escort (should always take max size shield) you need to keep an eye out for bulks so you can delay/steer them with a well placed shield.. that kinda stuff.

I almost exclusively play with randoms

Friends aren't super into it

oblique meadow
# inland hinge does anyone do elite deep dives with randoms? i've never done it, it sounds like...

It's usually my wife and I. And we usually do it with two randoms to fill out the squad. Did this weeks twice, once with her and a level 40 scout and once with two others from Discord and a random.

The one with the sandblasted from the previous week I think I failed twice, both in the 2nd stage as the salvage pod was counting down. Once with random, once with just us duo.

I've done plenty with just randoms, some fail and some succeed. When you get an experienced enough team most people just know what to do without having to be on comms - though playing with regulars is really helpful.

The EDD isn't hard, it's just that stage 2 was annoying; but it's not a good idea to try EDD with randoms on a Wed if you're already failed multiple times

same thing with dotty mission?

Its always random what you get for both DD and EDD
just a blank core then random weapon and cosmetic cores

not to mention the mules themselves give you 40 nitra when repaired

🤯

gusty meteor
#

heh. You guys never noticed?

thick jetty
#

i only found out because of Deep Rock Historian

gusty meteor
#

More combat focused missions have more nitra veins

thick jetty
#

i just assumed i had really reliable scouts

gusty meteor
#

or in case of salvage.. just in the mules themselves

thick jetty
#

god bless those zippy little buggers

gusty meteor
#

Thematically, its leftovers from what the previous crews had

potent vector
#

no wait, so salvage mission doesn't have extra nitra veins in the cave gen but has nitra+gold in the mini mules, correct?

gusty meteor
#

Yep

#

Can easily get a resupply from just fixing the mules with no mining needed

#
Deep Rock Galactic Wiki

Salvage Operation is a mission type in Deep Rock Galactic.
The Dwarves are sent in to clean up a failed mining operation and must repair broken down Mini-M.U.L.Es and power up an abandoned Drop Pod. Salvage Operation missions have multiple primary objectives which must be completed in order. They are the third unlockable mission type, the first ...

#

Legs are attached by holding the leg and then interacting with the corresponding Mini-M.U.L.E. Once all three legs have been attached, the Mini-M.U.L.E must be repaired. Repairing a M.U.L.E will reward the team with between 40-60 Nitra and 40-60 Gold.

#

So even if your extremely unlucky, you get enough for a resupply pod

HOLY FUCK, I've wondered why I have suddenly have nitra

#

Maybe its just my headphones or maybe I have the volume a bit too high, but exploders do have a distinct tappity-tap when they move around. You can hear them sneak up on you, the hiss after that really is your final warning and cue to dash out of there. Or maybe try to stay calm and tap them in the head so they dont explode at all. But thats not always an option if they bundle up on you.

feral atlas
#

shield disrupt is one of those hazards that becomes a soft buff as you get better

stray ruin
#

buff?
like the rewards, or
the gameplay experience?

feral atlas
#

normal gameplay expected of experienced players at high hazard is to not get hit in the first place, so the no shield thing doesn't factor in; but on the other hand the mutator reduces bug damage by 30% and spawns more red sugar

stray ruin
#

oh
so the more red sugar is actually a thing, I thought it was just me
cool

feral atlas
#

In some cirucmstances, it actually makes things easier sometimes, esp with red rock

#

as in you can tank certain dread attacks

#

off the 30% bug damage reduction

#

just eating fireballs

stray ruin
#

30% less damage that's crazy

#

in exchange your shield is only like, 15 health or something? (obv it regenerates but still)

#

oh 25, sorry

feral atlas
#

I typically take 25 shield since it should only be relied on to stop chip damage, so quicker regen delay is better for that purpose

#

145 HP pool in that case with all armor masteries and healty

#

208 HP with the bug damage debuff on shield disrupt

stray ruin
#

ah yes percentage damage reduction vs flat damage reduction

#

as in the shield reduces damage to your health ideally

feral atlas
#

So basically, shield disrupt punishes you for taking chip damage all the time

#

but actually lets you survive bigger single damage attacks

#

If you're a gunner with explosive resist it adds up

#

and you just face tank fireballs sometimes

#

so, to reiterate, if you're actually good at the game, in certain cases shield disrupt actually makes it easier

stray ruin
#

I learned something today ty

tall meadow
#

folks just get scared with shield disrupt because no shield

#

but most of time they don't know about the other soft buffs

stray ruin
#

exactly me

tall meadow
#

once you get over the phase, you'll do fine

#

just don't keep letting that swarmer horde eat your ankles

#

so basically works like a game with shields

stray ruin
#

omg i hate swarmers

fading ruin
feral atlas
#

The only major downside of shield disrupt is when you are in a biome it’s very common map hazards.

#

Like fungus bogs, and the entire maps is covered with the fart shrooms

fading ruin
feral atlas
#

I know

fading ruin
#

And without consuming the axe so do that

feral atlas
#

But I’m not always the driller, and some people don’t know this

stray ruin
#

verify me, does elemental insulation work on damaging debuffs like poison or radiation?
or is it only cold and heat?

fading ruin
stray ruin
#

It definitely feels like it helps a lot in the bogs and REZ

fading ruin
#

It also helps with the vomit/freeze/radiation thing from praetorians

stray ruin
#

oh ye
that attack that just decides when it wants to hit you

#

oh

#

ok so elemental insulation is resistance against elemental type damage
according to the wiki

tall meadow
#

Stuff like bulk fire after the explosive smash , acid spitter dot after spit hits you

#

Praet and oppressor gas

fading ruin
#

Aka praetorians

stray ruin
#

but with that in mind it shouldn't affect heat or cold?
since that isn't "damage"?

#

oh there's a nifty table

tall meadow
stray ruin
#

it doesn't mention temperature at all

#

I can see why it's considered a high-tier perk

#

also it seems like
*a lot of enemy projectiles do explosive damage
which means gunner is a pretty tanky boi with the armour mod

fading ruin
stray ruin
#

some, yeah
i guess only the ones with aoe are explosive

fading ruin
#

Yeah

#

I think that includes detonators explosions

Stage 3 of last week’s edd is the perfect example of shield disruption being a buff

If you survived last week this week is a walk in the park

Only thing is you might get unlucky elite spawns on Elite Threat

feral atlas
#

If you're kitted to not be useless against dreads, you're also kitted to survive elite threat

if the elite spawns give your loadout trouble, the dreads will slap you harder than the elites

# bleak dagger hows this week EDD?

I had most trouble on stage 1, almost wiped due to sheer amount of exploders. you see a batch crawling from across the cave and shoot them, but then a batch spawned immediately behind you 2 meters away. granted, we had a driller that's having trouble staying up and was down 30-40 times throughout the EDD. the engi crutched solo to the drop pod for stage 1.

#

stage 2 is alright, stage 3 was really a breeze

#

if you had my luck, you better install a mod that makes exploders noisy af

#

this week's elite deep dive is pretty easy

#

we had 700 nitra by stage 3

#

dd and edd were pretty easy. Though had two bulks on s2 and two on s3 of the dd

#

stage 1 in edd felt hardest this week imo, exploder infestation salvage is always a lil spicy

jolly hazel
#

only things of note are the like 10 spitballers throughout the edd

#

and the large unannounced swarm sizes on stage 2 elim

#

like an entire tunnel full of bugs

#

this edd was gonna put me to sleep

wraith shard
#

yeah, it was a cake walk

#

last week's edd was a nightmare

#

Taser bolts are basically busted right now. Since the DoT and slow stacks when you shoot two arrows at one target, Dreads come to a complete stop and kind of just sit there and suffer.

#

last weeks edd was ez

short charm
#

I think they're going to patch this so the slow does not stack, but other than that, the taser bolts should be powerful since you spend 2 of them on big targets every time.

#

Anyways, this EDD was super easy. Zero downs for me, in part thanks to a Driller who was quick to take out a leech I got stuck with.

I felt so bad abandoning my team on stage 3 of a DD this morning

#

I had to go to work ;;;((((

#

I would've kept going but 30 minutes isn't enough time to do Mini mules and a dreadnaught

supple remnant
#

30 minutes?

#

That’s honestly more than enough time

pure berry
#

Not for me

#

Really it was more like 20 minutes

#

But my point still stands

#

the 2nd stage was a little scuffed though

Now I wanna 4 stack the deep dives for fun lol

Oh boy I got trump in my team

#

why is the 2nd stage of the normal deep dive so hard

#

got 4 bulks

tight prawn
#

holy shit the third stage of the normal deep dive is evil

cursive kestrel
#

Its the poison gasses

#

Theyre flammable, so drillers can clear the plants quick

#

Or axe them, if you like the slower more ammo conserving method

my game never crashes, except during deep dives, only client side mods, anyone else feel this?

Pretty easy EDD this week, I managed to do it solo rocknstone

#

On a related note, bouncy drak feels really strong

jovial turret
#

Yup

#

Sometimes EDDs are easier then the normal DDs

#

oh my GOD!! me and my friend (we were promoted 1) i was gunner and he was scout

#

we were both doing elite deep dived

#

and we had a driller but he left like after getting 2 mules (we had to get 3)

#

we had to keep on going

#

we both barely did stage 2

#

and stage 3 was the one that fucked us up

#

i couldnt do shit because i was getting swarmed every 4 seconds

#

everytime we beat a horde another one comes in

#

my friend was the one that was reviving me the most because he could use his grapple to run away but i didnt have anyway to refill or move out the horde

#

we all ended up dying because the horde was too much

#

what a amazing world we live in drillermini

#

Is this weeks EDD rough?

potent vector
#

easier than last 2 weeks’

#

if you get through stage 1, stage 2 and 3 will be easier

open anchor
#

Can a scout and a gunner pull it off?

#

Scout has embedded and hoverclock

#

Gunner no overclocks, autocannon + revolver

potent vector
#

as long as you can deal with potential bulks on a salvage mission

open anchor
#

We have not had any issues with bulks so far

potent vector
#

bulks on salvage is usually game-ending

open anchor
#

Embedded should make quick work of them

#

Let's see if luck treats us well

#

If the bulk targets him, then we may be able to beat it

#

If it's on me, then we will have some problems

potent vector
#

also I had really bad luck with exploder infestation, I think I killed 200-300 exploders in that stage alone

open anchor
#

I am taking 32223 autocannon

#

75% exploder resistance

#

I am freaking invincible

potent vector
#

if bulks spawn on stage 2, it’s a bonus since stage 2 is dreads

platform explosion's change was awful imo...

#

I was loving the double aoe and damage, but with the change it's just self-damage city

#

this EDD wasn't that bad

#

stage 1 was honestly the hardest

#

stage 3 was a walk in the park. our scout got DC'd but still managed to clear it with ease

#

Ummm

#

Yesterday i was playing the DD and a fucking dreadnaught spawned in the first stage

#

Was this like preplanned? I didnt even know they could just spawn

upbeat whale
#

DD is pre-determined yeah

#

it will be identical each time you play it, and the devs tend to add something extra spicy to make them unexpected

#

and of course they completely change every week

old widget
#

(The devs don’t add anything extra spicy, it’s 100% RNG)

upbeat whale
#

well they programmed the game to have the potential for a dreadnaught to spawn

#

because they normally dont anywhere outside of DD
