[stoic nimbus]

I'm sorry I don't understand you，my English no well🥲

[dry yarrow]

is there a special way to kill the big dreadnoughts quickly?

[stoic nimbus]

i get it

Use ice mines to kill quickly

[fossil ruin]

Depending on the hazard level, you can also use embedded detonators (zhukov) to “one-cycle” the dreadnoughts and skip the armor phases.

[dry yarrow]

oh that seems good

thank you guys for the help!

[stoic nimbus]

I'm a little difficult to explain to you in English. Maybe someone else can explain to you. Sorry😫

[green dirge]

You explained well

Also maybe from next week I should begin soeedrunning deep dives

[stoic nimbus]

thanks，I hope you can run well next week!

[green dirge]

Thank you!

Hope I just don't build a very brutal mindset about it

[gleaming turret]

not a speed run but my friend did not like the swarmageddon

[subtle pawn]

I can very much agree with that friend of yours about swarmageddon

[willow patio]

same situation lol

[vivid sinew]

harry potter on moon

[gleaming turret]

Looks like your gunner needed that flak rounds over clock for auto cannon lmao

[rich vortex]

Accidentally used Compact Shells instead of Special Powder 😅

[fossil ruin]

Fully optimized with minimal error this could definitely be sub-10. @young plaza

[alpine spear]

engi for swarmageddon?

[abstract osprey]

so much bugs killed, grilled and drilled... what did you use on a driller? main and overclock?

[fossil ruin]

It was more for the dreadnought. We tried using every dwarf but engi seemed to be the most consistently fast with the dread

[alpine spear]

supply pod murder is also a good option with scout

[alpine spear]

getting random lobbies to run fast is soo hard though

[willow patio]

Sticky flames

[vital locust]

assuming hyper prop for secondary, what primary?

[rich vortex]

Executioner, probably.

[vital locust]

ahhh interesting, thanks

[minor helm]

stage 3 is such a mess

[cold widget]

@fossil ruin man I just found your YouTube channel a few days ago and love it. Amazing stuff man

[fossil ruin]

Hey thanks! Appreciate it

[alpine spear]

youll wasted time mining everything?

even with randos you can do this dd twice

in the same amount of time

[green dirge]

No harm in mining, get rich

[short pike]

Riches over ______

[alpine spear]

youll get double the rewards, i.e. richer if you do it twice

[green dirge]

Why do it twice? Would get boring.. and we ain't here for efficiency

Well.. the second part is wrong efficiency in time save is there but otherwise

[alpine spear]

so basically no point mining everything

unless you feel like you want to waste time

[alpine spear]

this is the speedrunning thread btw

[solemn sundial]

rough EDD this week...

[minor helm]

any other runners having inconsistencies with ending missions early with the abort mission button, or is it just me? has happened about 4 times now and only one time did it work as expected.

[minor helm]

close call in stage 3 but made it through 💀

[haughty helm]

not fast but first solo dd lets go

[alpine spear]

i think the "safe zone" inside the pod has shrunk

[solemn cypress]

I dont have foto but finished in 1h 11m

Me too btw that was my second deep dive and made it alone

With explorer

[fossil ruin]

Just tried it and got the same thing - mission failed. 🤔

[minor helm]

I'm not so sure that is the case. While testing it out in the DD, each time I let the end of the mission play out after clipping into the pod through the "molly spot" the DD would proceed as normal and move onto the next stage.

[minor helm]

My experience was pretty similar. After aborting the mission, the screen would display "Stage 1/3: COMPLETED" but would end up at the results screen like you would see at the end of the entire Deep Dive. There were also a few times the screen displayed "FAILURE".

[alpine spear]

Oh

[alpine spear]

well the edge ones dont trigger the mission end for me now

[minor helm]

What do you mean by "the edge ones"?

[alpine spear]

so if you jumo into the pod, and your at the edge of the pod, near where molly usually is at the edge when you stand, (half in half out) it normally triggers mission end, but doesnt do it now, will test further

[magic warren]

If we're looking to speedrun with others, would we ask in LFG?

[icy ingot]

first engi deep dive, think I did pretty good for my second dive ever

[heavy rock]

first run, not that bad tbh

going back to hipster without blowthrough now

[heavy rock]

this dd fucking sucks

[minor helm]

I've only done a few runs and yeah this DD is such a slog that my scout and driller have similar times. I'll have to do more runs to see for sure what's better, because both have their strengths that seem to equalize this week.

[heavy rock]

that spiral path in the first stage can be shortened a lot by a small driller tunnel on subsequent runs, other than that it's pretty time locked indeed

[rich vortex]

DD stage 1 seems awful without dark morkite.

Or I guess deep pockets.

[daring kite]

edd from 2 days ago

[night quiver]

left friends behind try again

fr congrats on the win tho

u did well

[proper saddle]

Is there anyway to view past runs? I got 2:55 on an egg hunt but didn't catch a screenshot

[steel elbow]

no

only the top record is saved

[proper saddle]

dang it

[minor helm]

Yeah, this DD sucks. But I wonder if I can get my time down to sub 30...

[scarlet roost]

scout moment

[stoic nimbus]

There were still some mistakes, otherwise it would have been about 20 minutes, and I didn't record this video

It hurts too much to hit people in the three-stage battery

😣

[stoic nimbus]

lol

[fossil ruin]

Good run! Did you record this one?

[stoic nimbus]

yes

I will upload the video later

[green dirge]

Ah I love having a good run going on and then my PC crashing at stage 3 of DD :>

[stoic nimbus]

[stoic nimbus]

no：（

[green dirge]

I will probably try the DD speeding tomorrow, at least with each failed run I am learning something to be safe/fast

[stoic nimbus]

I hope you can achieve results that satisfy you

[green dirge]

Thank you

[green dirge]

Also GGs oh the run!

[long thistle]

Does anyone tell me from which server I get web designing or logo designing clients?

[short pike]

Bro not here 💀

[cold shore]

Damn good time my average is around 40 mins solo

[fervent lion]

my friend first EDD getting under 45 mins

[stoic nimbus]

Practice more. I practiced for about four or five days🥲 Edd reopened countless times

[alpine spear]

Great run, maybe next time dont put a soundtrack? i use the in game sounds to predict what is happening around me and its for me to read a run with additional music.

[spare brook]

The game sounds can still be heard pretty well over the music, I don't think it should be an issue. They should keep putting music if they think it makes the video better. I may not be the best judge though because I usually play with music so loud I can barely hear the game

[alpine spear]

it is upto their choice.

[stoic nimbus]

My video is divided into two parts. The second part is without music.

When I recorded the video, there was no music. It was added later.

p2 without music

[alpine spear]

i know. 🙂 it's a great run. keep it up!

[stoic nimbus]

thanks bro

[spare brook]

oh shit I didn't see that, that's so cool. You can put 2 different versions of the video under the same post

People speed run DEEP DIVES??!

[proud nova]

yes

[fossil ruin]

join us 🙂

[rich vortex]

It's the perfect thing to speedrun in vanilla, since the maps are always the same.

[turbid jolt]

First 2 stage in edd look like torture

[polar hemlock]

first time i did DD alone

[subtle wedge]

It is

[solemn sundial]

sloooo

Good one Bro , My fatest dive it's about 27 minutes

[shrewd talon]

MY GOD I HATE THIS EDD

[proud nova]

nothing

[sick flame]

That’s enough discord for today good night everybody

[proud nova]

rest well

[sick flame]

Same to you (when you do sleep)

[stoic nimbus]

There are some mistakes. The fastest time should be 29 minutes

[hushed storm]

2 dwarves left on the first stage

[cold widget]

First time speed running the deep dive!

[crystal star]

First Speedrun babyyyy

[stoic nimbus]

Although I run very fast, my operation is a little bad🥲

The main thing is that there are fewer monsters this time

[candid cave]

can someone help me get the deep dive in 45 min archievement?

i'm not into speedrunning missions

[south seal]

Same, I would be glad if someone could help with the dive in 45 minutes

[alpine spear]

i mean everyone in the team has to try to speedrun, otherwise its boring to attempt

[next spindle]

I want to try speedrunning deep dives too

Do people always choose scout or does it not matter too much

Would driller be good

Ig It depends a bit on mission type

[minor helm]

Most of the time the best choice is scout and only sometimes its driller. Usually depends on mission type like if a terrible refinery cave gen happened then essentially you have to play driller.

[young plaza]

The Elite is ruff. But did decent time for not being a Scout.

[stoic nimbus]

There are only three stages of mistakes. If there are no mistakes, it should be 20 seconds faster

I will upload the video later. This edd will not be played again.This is my final result

Rough week for speedrunning, holy cow

[fleet vault]

timegates, timegates everywhere

[short pike]

Good luck y’all

[turbid jolt]

The missions seem long but at least the biomes are pretty sweet

[slate roost]

It's a good balance IMO, I like when the Normal Deep Dive gives you a challenge

[alpine spear]

i mean this weeks isnt a challenge at all

[brave venture]

Normal deep dives usually arent ever a challenge

[alpine spear]

i agree

its just timegated for speedruns

otherwise pretty chill

[minor helm]

Speedrunner's suffering out here; this is like the 6th week in a row we've had an escort mission in the DD... 3rd week in a row for salvage. bad RNG moment

[slate roost]

What I meant is that at least the Mutators in the Normal Deep Dive are those you don't wish to see in an Elite one

[obtuse spindle]

can you go below 30 in normal dd

i was pretty slow i think

[cunning sentinel]

dives look more like power walks

[minor helm]

I thought the 1 mini mule in stage 2 of the DD was a typo, but no there really is only one. Which is weird since that usually never happens. Funny thing is the game will still say there's 2 during the in-between stage results.

[violet jetty]

Sub 30 definitely possible even for non-scout

Stage 1 is a little annoying with the timegate and placement of mini mules (2 are really close and C4 brought MM #2 down from its position to the 3rd one; all legs naerby), stage2 is insanely fast, stage 3 another time gate with slight detours to fix the mini mules.
I could have gone sub 30 if I let dotty lose her armor while I was getting oil, and optimized some things.

But this was a blind run so /shrug

Still had time to bring back Dotty's head though

[obtuse spindle]

yeah i kept having to deal with small swarms during refill it was a big time loss

[violet jetty]

Stage 2 would have shaved a TON of time off if I repaired the mule before the swarm

I popped all the eggs as soon as I could, but then i looked at objective 2 and it was repair minimule Q.Q

But, that's DD. I usually just do it once then go back to EDD and Haz5 mission routines.

[fossil ruin]

0 kill sub-30. Could shave several minutes off of this doing the no-kill. This was my first go at it

[minor helm]

First look at the run. A high 24 might be possible...? We'll see.

[dense grove]

not bad for my first solo, coulve gotten sub 45 but i wasnt gonna leave dotty behind 😛

[blazing edge]

wait how do you no kill and still able to guard dotty

[alpine spear]

im guessing pheromones

[alpine spear]

maybe epc for oil?

[fossil ruin]

A lot of pheromones, and just repairing constantly while it’s taking damage

[alpine spear]

aha i was right

[blazing edge]

nitra for resupply are from mini-mules i assume?

[fossil ruin]

Yeah I didn’t mine anything, just happened to pick up a few pieces of gold that the drilldozer ran over

[blazing edge]

wow ok

[alpine spear]

This is a pretty good start for most runs, unfortunately most randos in lobbies feel like they need to mine every last thing in caves for them to succeed at the mission

[alpine spear]

You posting the run?

[fossil ruin]

Probably not yet, I could do a better one

[alpine spear]

aight

[short pike]

stage 3 was hell.

normal dd was lot easier lmao

[rotund palm]

as it should be..

[minor helm]

24 is here. Will try to go for more.

[cunning sentinel]

i see a lot of people using opa drak, is it preference or generally considered the best for solo scout speedruns? i've always liked opa but didn't realize it was popular here

[fossil ruin]

I like using the drak so I can get rid of the Born Ready perk. I like the opa overclock because it shreds armor and has huge damage

[drowsy dagger]

Blind with a couple pubs this week, surprisingly they did pretty solid. Not a great time but I am happy with it.

[obtuse spindle]

HOW ARE YOU SO GOOD MAN

😭

[fossil ruin]

0 kill 0 death. I don't think I'm going to pursue a better time doing the no-kill run. Too stressful lol

[unreal widget]

how did you beat drilldozer without kiling?

[shrewd talon]

Bosco prob did it for the most part

[fossil ruin]

Lots of pheromones

[unreal widget]

I see

[alpine spear]

post the run

[fossil ruin]

Just posted in the videos channel

[alpine spear]

imo its kinda sad that they dont count phe kills as scout....its great for your run type though

i also think gsg should scale time to repair by no of dwarves present

[muted atlas]

Pls no

OR if they gonna do that, then they should make the amount of pipes on "On-site refining" also dependant on dwarfs quantity.

Building and repairing 3 pipes on solo runs doesn't feel like a game, it feels like a buzkilling boring job without payment. Especially when game makes you dirty with base and pumps locations.

[alpine spear]

uh they do, they no of broken pipes scales with dwarves. not total build time if youre looking for "fast" ways to build the pipes for speedruns watch any of the runs posted here, they are lit. i specifically asked for a timegate nerf for eg. the time take to repair uplink,or fuel cell. or repair a mule..... every thing that really doesnt effect the progression of the game if solo/vs/team

[alpine spear]

2 pumojacks spwan in the same cave as minehead and 1 in "another cave". so im not sure what your gripe is

[muted atlas]

When i was playing with wife we still had to summon 3 pumpjacks 🤔

[alpine spear]

with boscp helping, its easy af to build pipes

it is always 3 pipes

[muted atlas]

That's what i was talking about

1 dwarf - 1 pipe
2-3 dwaves - 2 pipes
4 dwarves - 3 pipes
That would be fair

[alpine spear]

read what i commented on originally, i dont want gsg to change their game, 3 pipes are ok... if you can repair(maybe) build faster,,,,

[alpine spear]

with bosco this is super broken

[muted atlas]

Their location can be very bad sometimes. For example we had extremely vertical cave (no driller with us), there weren't clear routes, big amounts of artificial walls and trees between main base and pumpjacks, so placing pipes was huge pain in ass

[frosty cove]

Its just the gameplay design of DRG, cope with it
How do you solve a huge pain in ass, and make it easier and faster to clear
This game is heavily skill based, so i kinda understand your pain too, need to learn some tricks to play DRG

[acoustic portal]

I try to either be driller or take a driller with me if i know im doing one of those missions

[muted atlas]

ye, already adopted to that

The harder game gets, the more Bosco > 3 randoms

holy fck, people do whole deep dives for the same amount of time i did just 1 mission

[analog trellis]

Oh

[frosty cove]

Well, they "speedrunning" deep dives
So they maps all the stages first, find possible tricks, and try to speedrunning it until they got lowest amount of time, not really a cool thing to me
But before speedrunning things, you need to be good at "speedplay" first
DRG Youtubers i know who are god at speedplay is axiskronos and benicopter

Most classes used is just scout and driller for DD speedrunning, coz they're good at it
While engi and gunner is bad for speedrunning, but can hold off and *delete an extremely large swarm

[alpine spear]

@fossil ruin - you have a fan..

[frosty cove]

nah, not really
beni's videos is good learning material, even i got new tricks from him
so i recommend him

im not a fan of speedrun myself
i hv fun more when holding back a huge swarm and take time to clear them
but when im not clearing bugs, im doing speedplay

[austere tundra]

first deep dive and i almost got the achivement, if this is around normal time for your first one, any tips i can help improve it further?

[gaunt niche]

I'm looking for general strats on speedrunning for xp

anyone got a good guide?

The least of your concerns :)

oh god 😭

[minor helm]

Highlight of this run was a Grabber grabbed me at the end of stage 3 and took me away from the action but towards the escape pod landing. Bosco set me free and I was able to set up for drop pod landing clip with just enough time. Also 🐈

[alpine spear]

this sounds sus

[junior kestrel]

YOOOOOOOOO

Feels like there's more to shave off. High 15 might happen? Not sure.

[vital locust]

maxwell lootbug mod gang 💪

also nice time

[violet jetty]

Could go way faster if you employ better strats than me ;)
Sub40 though... I'm ok with it.
I like the 27min by the 4man. Extra hands laying and building pipes would speed up stage 1 significantly.

[minor helm]

15 is here

[blazing edge]

Holy

[dense grove]

Sub 45 deep dive, except i'm in vr

[stiff rock]

can someone help me with deepdives please on steam platform

[glass frigate]

What do you need help with

If you are looking for people to play with then go to #lfg-steam

[cold widget]

/imagin

[onyx zodiac]

Wait, you can play DRG IN VR!

[keen gyro]

mactera grabber in vr:

[dense grove]

cave leech is the worst in vr. atleast you'll know a mactera grabber is coming

[dense grove]

Yeah there’s a mod for it. Extremely well balanced aside from 3 “minor” issues

First issue is that hit boxes for things are a bit finicky so it’s hard to interact with some things

Secondly, you can’t pick up any thrown items

Finally, unless you enable “balanced manual mining” (which is disabled by default) you will be able to mine faster than the driller with any class

[onyx zodiac]

ah, does it work with a occulus quest? will I have to connect it to my computer?

[dense grove]

The vr version runs through steam vr so yeah you should be able to

Just keep in mind that the mod pack does not say how to get yourself back into normal DRG

I assume unenabling the mod would do it but I’m not sure

[green dirge]

I haven't played this game in some time, so not bad for a blind run?

[glass frigate]

Same

[viral lagoon]

"speedrunning"
slow solo gameplay)

[alpine spear]

had a scout hell bent on throwing the run by starting everything and dying.. but worked out i guess, longest dive in a while by a mile

[snow kite]

Ps5 (ger)
Not really fast but glitch-free and deathless^^
DD 34.22 EDD 58.49

[rich vortex]

What kind of glitches are there that would give you a major advantage?

[floral oar]

glitching into the droppod so you dont have to wait for molly

[vital gust]

3 gunners 1 scout this was brutal this is not fast at all

[short pike]

pain

[alpine spear]

i mean youll died waaaay too much youll can literally group up and use shields one after the other with 3 gunner

[vital gust]

i agree on that. Are miniguns were set up for swarms two of us were using burning hell and volatile bullets revolver and one was using bullet hell almost all are downs were from the dread classic and the caretaker we almost ran out of nitra on the first stage

[alpine spear]

you can shield disrupt the glyphid dreads slam

[floral oar]

any times on the dd from non blind runs yet?

[minor helm]

actually yes, just finished this one a few minutes ago. 4th attempt with scout

[floral oar]

very nice

do you think theres much more room for improvement ?

and did you use a beer at all?

[minor helm]

No beer was used. There is more room for improvement. And I do think that a duo run will definitely be able to sub 20 but for solo I'm not so sure unless Dark Morkite is used then maybe.

[floral oar]

what is the optimal cryo usage when fighting non twins? can you skip any stages of normal/hiveguard?

because i think my dread fighting is slowing me down

this is mine for reference

[minor helm]

That'll depend on your build. For the OG dread, I'd probably use cryos for the shell phase and burst the shell with jumbo shells boomstick or IFG+trifork+magnetic shafts. But for the hiveguard its hard to say... What I would do with cryos is after opening the hiveguard's back is call a resupply to its location and then damage it with your primary to about 80% of it's health. When the resup drops it'll do about 1000 damage which will probably leave it to about a bit less than half health, I'm guessing. Then when you open up its back again you could freeze it and burst it.

ok ignore that bit about the ifg, i just realized that wouldn't work lmao

but the rest of it could be worth experimenting with

[floral oar]

ive got the twins down now with jumbo cryo

but ive been struggling to know when to cryo the other 2 but i think i just need to play around with it

i should resup too on the HG because ive not been doing that

did you take note of your time per stage?

[minor helm]

yeah, they're 4:36, 17:28, and 23:05

my only complaint about this run is the shenanigans dotty does at the start of stage 2

[floral oar]

im in the middle of a run now and i got 4:14 first so i really must lose so much time on 3rd stage

because i think everyone will have the same time for second because its just how long dotty takes

[minor helm]

you're right, i do think stage 2 times are gonna be around 13 minutes, give/take a few seconds

[floral oar]

Have you been going normal dread or hiveguard first?

[minor helm]

i pop both but fight the hiveguard first

[floral oar]

please tell me your glitching into the drop pod too

[minor helm]

yes

[floral oar]

i noticed they removed being able to abort the mission too

meaning i aborted one of my best first stages to find out

[minor helm]

i think they've unintentionally made it far less consistent... sometimes it'll work but more often than not it doesn't so i've completely dropped it. It was such a free ~24s time save 😭

rip best first stage o7

do you ignore the first big vein of nitra after the first dirt wall in the first stage?

[floral oar]

i think i make bosco get it then dash in and out again, tbh i need to check my nitra count to see how much extra i can leave, i just get 60 on the first stage right through the door then the 2 blobs in the starting room second stage and then the 3 next ones

but i think i might be getting too much as i only use 2 resups

on at hartstone and one at hiveguard

[minor helm]

i am thinking about ignoring it to see how it will effect the rest of the run, for sure it will better my first stage but how it effects the rest is what i want to know

[floral oar]

its always nice trying to find the limit

[snow kite]

Ps4 - Scout legit EDD

[snow kite]

Ps4 - Engineer legit EDD

[alpine spear]

What does legit mean? What are non legit runs?

[stoic nimbus]

dd speedrunning

[brittle moon]

the goblin prevailed

[craggy arrow]

question, why do people speedrun this?

[proud nova]

because they want to. Do they need another reason ?

[craggy arrow]

ohhok was just wondering

[floral oar]

First time duo running so a good learning experience and very enjoyable. Sub 20 is very achievable with some more time investment and some better dread ai (not having an obsession with trying to dig to the other person in the other room)

[nocturne spindle]

[unborn leaf]

Difficulty in duo run is easier than 3 or 4.

scaling is similar to a solo run.

the only thing you lose is the drone.

[floral oar]

Thanks man didn’t know that 👍

[alpine spear]

you can check the drg wiki for exact numbers of scaling and their changes in health based on number of players etc

https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/Difficulty_Scaling

[floral oar]

How much does the health change by?

[alpine spear]

check the wiki mate, it has all the info you need. there is no exact number as all the bugs change by differing amounts

you can check the stats for each enemy

[floral oar]

Thanks that’s really useful

[floral oar]

Have you tried a speedrun this week? @alpine spear

[alpine spear]

nope

dotties weird path in stage 2 kinda put me off

Hyper propellent missiles + hell fire for gunner edd, gonna pray that works

I also wonder if lethal enemies counts for the shields that pop out from caretaker cause they basically took out a lot of health

i would recommend drillers cryo cause stage 3 DD

Blind run

[cold widget]

how do you leave molly behind?

[rich vortex]

Glitch into the drop pod

[cold widget]

how?

[minor helm]

here's one way to do it

[cold widget]

what's the other way? there should be one where you somehow just go through from the side

[rich vortex]

I don't have any clips of it. You need to get in the little space above the deposit on the right side of the drop pod (looking at it from where you would usually enter), then just start jumping towards the center of the pod.

[cold widget]

thanks, i think i've got it. i have seen it before but didn't know what they were doing

[minor helm]

It's the spot right beside the mule compartment, atop the main compartment door and beside the mule compartment cover. The most consistent way I do it is wedging myself in that spot facing the pod and spamming forward and jump simultaneously.

[cold widget]

thanks, i did it. i now know what to actually do, that was unclear

[keen gyro]

“Very fun EDD with randoms!” someone dead on the floor

.

[fierce timber]

Tough one, died a lot trying to go fast.

[woeful vale]

first try blind run as scout. Really tricky map with the 1st and 3rd being large maps better for scout but the 2nd mission being better for a driller for the 2 wells in hidden spots

[drowsy dagger]

Blind with the boys and a pub.

[sly fiber]

first time in a solo EDD at 46 minutes 😄

[willow violet]

We're rich!

[minor helm]

cave layout in stage 2 kinda lookin like spaghetti

[glacial tulip]

I am more impressed by the fact that you could blaze through this week's hellhole sub 40 minutes

[spare brook]

second try. I got a bit greedy the first go around

I just noticed the red lights. I did finish it. I just got thee bugged abort at the end

I even got credit for finishing the deep dive. That's wack

[peak heron]

wow nice stat

[burnt warren]

Ok, but how quickly did you complete this weeks deep dive?

[keen gyro]

<@&296918282403840000>

[green shoal]

Holy shit that first level

Data rack and dreadnoughts-

[west harbor]

It wasn’t that bad

[cunning sentinel]

can kill the dreads with caretaker since it's twins but not sure if that's still worth it on haz 3

[glacial tulip]

It’s just haz 3

And it has no warnings

[sudden root]

dd is so tame now I've done an edd

[minor helm]

definitely is worth it, can save a lot of ammo and time

[green shoal]

I know but imagine if it was the edp

[glacial tulip]

Ah last week’s edd has industrial sabotage for the last stage, and with lethal enemy active

[green shoal]

[rich vortex]

One can only hope they remove Industrial Sabotage from deep dives altogether.

[cyan inlet]

Nah I like it. Though if they only made it one battery it'd be better

[spare brook]

I like the sound of that. Would be a good compromise

[cyan inlet]

I genuinely enjoy industrial sabotage, be it the mission itself or the deep dive. Maybe it's rose tinted glasses bc it was my first mission ever but I like the way it plays

Reminds me of a Destiny raid, in a way? Not as much puzzle solving, but coordination is rewarder

[rich vortex]

For me, the main problem with it is the build restrictions. It heavily restricts what weapons you can use, which is why it should be removed from deep dives. I would also like for it to be removed from assignments, but that's only because I personally don't enjoy the mission very much. The build restrictions aren't as much of a problem when it's the only mission you have to play.

Removing a battery wouldn't really make me enjoy the mission more, it would just reduce the amount of pain I have to endure.

Though, I definitely think it would make the mission better overall.

[restive niche]

aha, industrial sabatoge where each stage is one battery - leading to the larger boss fight for the 3rd mission

[keen gyro]

I always like sabotage missions because it almost feels like a breath of fresh air, especially during a deep dive. Randomly coming across it and getting to fight some different enemies, and do probably one of my favorite mini games (the hacking connection). Though, I pretty much never play it outside of assignments and deep dives because it can get pretty tedious.

[cyan inlet]

I'm still new enough that I never run out of assignments to do, but I figure that I'll drop by them enough that they'll get tedious soon enough. That, or become a god and figure out the best strategies to speedrun it.

Did you know you can zipline on top of the pyramid, and you're basically untouchable?

[cunning sentinel]

it's not too bad if you do both the hacking pods at once but most randoms in my experience aren't willing to do that and most of the time it ends up taking 25+ mins every sabo

[rich vortex]

I used to solo them on haz 1 with Engineer. I would set up turrets + prox mines to defend one hacking pod, while I went and started the next one. I found that Scout was a lot more consistent at speedrunning though, since I would sometimes get long tunnels. On decent cave gens, I can get sub 10 minutes.

[upper rover]

Yeah, ending a dive with IS feels like the whole thing ends with a bang, literally and figuratively

[upper patio]

industrial sabo makes for a much better finale than for a stage 1 or stage 2

[glacial tulip]

Feels more poetic

And dramatic

[hushed storm]

EDD blind run

[hushed storm]

DD blind run

25 mins on DD, random team + blind run, very good :)

[native elk]

how do you even go that fast
u gotta only do the objective

[fierce timber]

Blind sub 30 min run, died a lot getting careless, was fun though!

[hushed storm]

The trick is having everyone on your team have a specific role, and doing it well. I was engineer so I put up plats, built pipes, and driller predrilled tunnels to the pumpjacks to be faster.

[native elk]

all that with a random team?

lucky you

[hushed storm]

Yeah

The best time to play with random teams is arguably right when the new dives go live, because those people also want to speedrun and chances are they are experienced.

• with the morkite missions we just kept moving forward and mining even when theres a swarm on us.

[blazing edge]

thats nuts, blind solo faster than most 4 mans

[fierce timber]

Hah yeah maybe so, I bet it would have been even faster if I played as scout instead too.

[cyan inlet]

Doing it stage 1 isn't too bad, either imo

[cyan inlet]

How bad was stage 2 EDD

[hushed storm]

Its not that bad but it was annoying. Since its 4 eggs theres like no space in the cave gen to realistically fight without the horror getting in the way every 30 seconds

We did take turns in baiting the horror which made it better but still, that stage was cramped

[cyan inlet]

I'm mainly worried about the Dreadnaught Hiveguard with haunted cave

[hushed storm]

Might want to do with another person, not solo. So one person can bait while the other does dmg to the dread

[cyan inlet]

Oh I'd never be capable of doing it solo, I'm barely a brownbeard

I'm not about to say I crutch on other players, but I'm not confident in my solo ability

[hushed storm]

If you got a good team, dont worry about edd stage 2.

You can bring a slow down build like sludge on driller to slow down the horror

Or electrocute it using whatever build that has that

[cyan inlet]

Swap cryo for the slow grenades on scout

[hushed storm]

Yeah ifg also good on dread

Get that 30% increase dmg for your team if on the dread

[dense wasp]

Guess 45 minutes achiev is more than possible on this one
The DD went very smooth

[native elk]

might try to speedrun then when I get back home

[dusky mirage]

aw man

[grave flame]

circle in for the kill

[jade mulch]

Decided to speedrun this week's DD with only the knowledge of what objectives i'm dealing with. I thought I did pretty well

[sly fiber]

my goal is to get under 25 minutes, but i did it

[elfin herald]

my first deep dive solo speedrun blind, slowest part was the 2nd cave other than that half-decent for my first run

[minor helm]

Blind run. I think sub 20 might be possible

[native elk]

3th try caus I forgot to ss the first 2

[fickle river]

Definitely a speedrun EDD week

[silent blade]

Had an engi and scout, but they bailed mid mission

[alpine spear]

@minor helm i think i figured out the fail on mission abort

there is now what appears to be a frame delay between the pod closing and it registering as a completion, had it several times today while entering the pod in solo missions

blind first run

pretty sure scout can shave off 10-12 mins of this with the glitches and general movement. first cave is very long

[alpine spear]

i got kicked out of the deep dive on mission abort even though it says successful on the screen, doesnt load to stage 2...

waiting about 2 seconds seems to fix this though

so im not very sure whats up

[minor helm]

Yeah, I got those a lot. I've pretty much stopped going for it now that it is so inconsistent

[alpine spear]

so if the doors close, it definitely goes through

will test more later

[minor helm]

I see. Perhaps I'll have to give it another go then with that in mind.

[stoic nimbus]

There are too many monsters this week's edd🥲

Maybe I can run in 20 minutes?I will try more times

[minor helm]

Can't wait to see it!

[obtuse flame]

[loud tide]

man the normal DD has massive speed run potential

[native elk]

true that

[sudden root]

our team didn't try and we beat it in 30 mins

[alpine spear]

for 4 man, this is not a speed run

[minor helm]

Sub 20 is here

@alpine spear I tried aborting the mission as soon as the fence gate closed and it worked. Not sure if that was the door you were talking about earlier, but I'm going to keep attempting it to make sure it is consistent.

[thorny crest]

One of my best dive times so far. Probs the closest I'll get to a Speedrun without having tried

[buoyant raven]

baby first accidental speedrun with random dwarves

[sudden root]

ikik just making a point

[modest moon]

havent started the pumpjacks yet and i just plugged in the last one

[alpine spear]

yes, the grate thingie

[blissful cargo]

flawless

[stoic nimbus]

Just one minute faster than before, I tried my best

🥲

[onyx zodiac]

pretty good for a blind run

[civic tundra]

Needs to be pinned.

[silver copper]

It's pinned in #deep-dive-discussion ^^

[civic tundra]

The previous one is pinned. Other than that, yes, wrote in the wrong channel.
Edit : oh. nevermind, sorry. It is indeed the current one.

Second deep dive

[dusk herald]

My first ever Deep Dive speedrun 😄 teamed up with @minor helm ⛏️

[dusk herald]

Honestly wasn't a bad run for being a newbie 😆

[stoic nimbus]

I just did it! Running in for 20 minutes! lol

[elfin herald]

sub 30 solo deep dive nice

[vapid field]

didnt get an SS of the complete screen 😔

[fossil ruin]

Duo with @young plaza . Sub-15 is definitely possible - hopefully we're able to try again before the reset.

[minor helm]

Nice! What would it take to get the sub 15?

[faint summit]

duo and two random pretty smooth run

[fossil ruin]

A clean 1st stage under 3:40, only 2 breaks in the 2nd stage, and no BET-C 3rd stage

[dusk herald]

Jesus this is quick!!

[rich vortex]

Blind run, no dark morkite.

[rich vortex]

Got a 22:30 with dark morkite. Would have been faster if I was able to glitch into the pod on stage 1.

[minor helm]

Even more for the solo run

[glacial tulip]

It is my first time speedrunning, so there was quite a bit of hiccups I made throughout the dive, hope it is still a presentable result

[short wasp]

I mean considering my team's result was THIS, i'd say you did well

My very first Elite Deep Dive, with someone else who was also doing their first
We decided to speedrun it because we think avoiding the "I Like it Down Here" achievement for as long as possible is funny

Both of these actually look reasonably good, gonna do these

[fierce timber]

Decided to do normal DD too, I think sub 20 is very doable for this one if you know where to go immediately.

[floral oar]

How many achievements have you got without getting it?

[broken cave]

I'm at 54/68 right now

I don't think the remaining ones should be much of an issue as long as we're careful

[floral oar]

I really don’t wanna get it, it’s my last achievement to get

I think it’s a nice thing to keep

But the deep dives can go over an hour just not the individual stages

[broken cave]

Ah, a different friend told me he got it during his first deep dive, thanks for the info!

[floral oar]

Still a nice badge of speed though, keep it up haha

[broken cave]

You too! Good luck

[spare brook]

Edd looks like it could be a fun one. Hope the seed's good

[dusk herald]

Still waiting patiently for the pin to be updated in #deep-dive-discussion haha so I can start planning a speedrun with my speedrunning partner

[shy mango]

Was already posted in both deep dive channels, here you go:
#deep-dive-discussion message

[dusk herald]

That's last week's

[terse hollow]

Nope

No haunted cave in EDD 2

Its updated.

[dusk herald]

I literally just looked and took this

[terse hollow]

I don’t know where you clicked.

But his link takes you here.

[dusk herald]

#deep-dive-discussion and checked

[terse hollow]

Click his link and it takes you to the correct message.

[fossil ruin]

The pin isn't updated but from what I read, Muffin Cat is on Holiday so it's unlikely to be updated soon. The new missions are posted in this channel though, just have to scroll up a bit! 😃

[dusk herald]

Ty for your patience guys

Cuz I've heard that Muffin Cat updates it

[terse hollow]

He will when he gets a chance

[fossil ruin]

Good luck with the speedrun! Know which one you're going to run - Regular or Elite?

[dusk herald]

I did the Elite one casually on stream as a duo this morning, just sent the info to Ryeor so we can start planning for the regular dive speedrunning

[fossil ruin]

The regular DD has some great potential - I ran through the maps quick and I'm thinking we'll see some sub-15's.

[dusk herald]

Oh geez

And you said last week could've been a sub 15 😆

Me and Ryeor got down to 17:55 as a duo if you were curious

Not bad for my first set of runs

[fossil ruin]

That's awesome! It definitely takes some time to adjust to the speedruns. You have to change up the playstyle quite a bit

[dusk herald]

Haha yeah it definitely was a big shift when Ryeor started giving me builds and loadouts. I'm like "the heck is this" 🤣

[rich vortex]

Blind run with dark morkite. Got a BET-C on both stage 1 and 2, which was pretty funny.

This week has pretty good dives.

[sly fiber]

Randoms failed to complete it, so i did it solo

unfortunately i didn't make it under 25 minutes due to molly and the timers for the pods

[fierce timber]

They really need to attach some rocket boosters on molly to speed things up

[fossil ruin]

Duo run with @young plaza Sub-14 is possible

[drowsy dagger]

Blind for the week.

And forgot to post mine for last week also blind.

[thorny crest]

How are y'all clearing EDD stage 3 so fast? Clearing that room was chaos

We got 39 and I'm pretty sure half of that was just stage 3. Almost wiped

[rich vortex]

Have your scout get everything

You could probably finish the objectives before you even get your first swarm.

Point extraction missions should always be quick

Otherwise, you'll start getting so many enemies that you won't be able to kill them fast enough before more spawn in.

[thorny crest]

Oh sorry I should've clarified. More talking about the rival presence and drop spot. Trying to get rid of the turrets turned into a shit show for me both runs.

Tho ngl, I was cryo driller. Might run it back with flames.

Did yall just go straight for turret controller on drop? couldn't get enough breathing room to disable it for a while

I'm playing on PS if that adds anything. Not sure how much my terrain deviated from the steam terrain this week tbh

[rich vortex]

There were 3 sniper turrets that killed me and my partner when we started, but besides those, the rival presence was barely noticeable. We didn't have to disable the turret controller.

Not sure how bad it is in a group of 4

You could probably have your scout mark the controller, and then drill to it

Driller is great at disabling controllers.

[rich vortex]

I doubt your platform really matters

Would be weird if it handled the seeds differently.

[thorny crest]

It actually does. Console seeds will usually vary slightly from steam seeds. We somewhat different logic bc of hardware restrictions. Main example of this is the maximum cave/map size is smaller for console but usually the terrain won't be too insanely different week to week. I have definitely encountered more noticeable differences tho. I used to watch YouTube runs of EDDs when I was first getting into em and would notice some weeks that the steam run I saw had very different caves then what I got on console

[thorny crest]

Lol I was the driller. I failed to do my karl-given duty. Kept getting pushed by shield turret and couldn't go take em out bc of snipers and turrets. I think I handled it poorly tho. If I run again I'll report back. Up until stage 3 it was pretty mellow

[thorny crest]

Yea I will say, even will our ~20 min time on last stage, the rival presence was myself just the turrets. Barely had and bots/shredders show up. Was odd but the bug swarms carried the slack for sure

Thanks for the tips 💪🏿

[rich vortex]

Oh, that's interesting.

[rich vortex]

You could probably drill over to the shield turret and destroy it from beneath? I've never tried that, so I'm not sure

Usually the shield turret doesn't activate when I'm drilling under it

One of your teammates might have been in its range

[valid wedge]

first attempt, multiple revives (stage 3 )

but if you have flamethrower driller (me) you’ll be fine on stage 3

[rain crane]

got a sub-30 pub run with random fall damage death lmao

Edd was a bit slower though

[terse hollow]

First time I did this one, and randoms too. We didn't even agree to speedrun it just happened that way

[austere eagle]

Not bad, I think the minutes could have been improved. I had a little problem with c4 and molly in the second phase

[buoyant raven]

damn

43mins

[thorny crest]

Huh, can't say I have either. Only really do that for the normal turrets. The one time I've tried it on shield turret, it was already activated and I learned.. Shields go thru terrain 😅 never tried again after that

[cunning sentinel]

repulsion turrets are bugged and won't die if the terrain below them is broken

[dusk herald]

Me and @minor helm 's first attempt this week for a duo speedrun

[grave flame]

lovely EDD modded session

[glacial tulip]

the last stage is perfect for pheromones

[daring kite]

why not the whole screen

[oak solar]

@daring kite

[daring kite]

hm

[rich vortex]

The rest of the information is irrelevant.

[floral oar]

how on earth did you mine that much that fast??

[oak solar]

most time spent mining

almost died several times due to swarms following me, nitra was my n.1 concern + red sugar.

[oak solar]

did the same here, less abundance of nitra and sugar but it worked (kinda, died once)

[floral oar]

why so few kills too? did you wanna see how low you could go with them?

[oak solar]

most were mactera kills, leech and or if bugs got too close to me

[floral oar]

if you were to run it again would you mine a little less to save time?

[oak solar]

it would be very risky

i can attempt to go for just reg sugar to get less time

#deep-dive-discussion

[dusk herald]

Addendum #2, we just keep nailing this 🤣

[dusk herald]

YOOOO WE'RE GAMERS!!!!!

[fossil ruin]

Nicely done!!

What was your and Snoop's time on this one? Ryeor said 14:58?

[fossil ruin]

14:56 currently, hopefully we get time today to try a couple more runs. I think there’s still a lot of potential with the run

[dusk herald]

Haha Ryeor made a bold prediction last night that with some good RNG we may beat you guys 🤣 we had AWFUL RNG on stage 2, we had 3 breaks and were caught off guard

[alpine spear]

so i found an interesting glitch

if a roller. rolls into the pod while ur exfil from mission

it can knock you out of the glitch entry into pod

and fail you the mission

i wish i recorded this shit

was wondering wtf happened

then heard the shellback rolling thud

failed a mission in blackscreen

[minor helm]

What were your stage splits? Our current sum of best is 4 seconds faster than this, but if you think there's more potential in this run then where exactly do you think there's more time save?

It seems that stage 2 is cursed with RNG and there isn't really much that you can do if you get a bad roll so the only real time saves are in stage 1 and 3.

Our splits are 2:19, 12:01, 15:15

Also is the drop pod in stage 3 manipulatable? The trek back to the entry cave is 💀

[fossil ruin]

I’d have to check the recording. It was only our 2nd full run so our mapping was a little sloppy. We’ve gotten sub-2 the first stage and I think we could potentially do 1:45. Stage 2 we can do in around 9 minutes, and then 3:30 in last stage which can be improved. We didn’t manipulate the drop pod because we’re clipping into it so I don’t think it would really matter 🤷🏻‍♂️

[fickle river]

Straightforward EDD

[pearl pulsar]

4 player scaling DD, refining could have been 2-3 min faster

[fossil ruin]

We got the sub-14 but decided to keep going for the sub-13 👀

Splits:
1:47
10:18
12:47

[young plaza]

If we ignored our familes and kept playing we could do better our best times were 1:44 and 10:10 so we have room to improve yet.

[dusk herald]

GOOD GOD 🤣

How do you guys do this?????? 🤣

You about to tell me sub 12 is possible now? 🤣

[minor helm]

im curious how you guys do stage 2 so fast

[dusk herald]

I'm curious how they did the whole thing so damn fast 🤣

[young plaza]

It’s with the power of friendship!

[dusk herald]

You guys set the bar pretty low (pun intended) for me and Ryeor 🤣 I now have a dream to, one day, even if it only happens once, to team up with Ryeor and beat you and Beni 🤣

[dusk herald]

🎶 How low can you go? 🎶

[west arch]

LFG Deep Dive (Scout or Eng)

[alpine spear]

@fossil ruin wrt your yt vid on ur 2 man run - would it be possible for 4 ppl to start the dive, 2 ppl alt-f4 when you load in, and then reconnect on stage 2?

[valid wedge]

PAT DA LOOTBUG

[young plaza]

No that wouldn’t work

[alpine spear]

why? it does allow you to reconnect to a dd if your game "crashes"

[alpine spear]

i like how ppl are using my suggestion to wait for the grill to close to do the abort mission seconds saver

[fossil ruin]

I think it’s less of a “is it possible” and more of “should I do this”. Even if it were possible, to me, that’s infringing on the integrity of a run

[alpine spear]

well you could have them join back at the end for a 4 person grand stand finish

🙂

[floral oar]

thought i was going to go for some more attempts but the week has gone quite quickly, jealous of the duos this weeks but its really exciting to see everyone teaming up for some more interesting duo strats rather than everyone solo all the time

[cold widget]

Trying to get into speedrunning on console. Does anyone have a tutorial how to do the drop ship clip?

[spare brook]

If things haven’t changed since I last checked, the Molly door clip (side of the pod). Is pretty dependent on fps. Meaning that on console with 60fps it’s gonna be pretty hard to pull off and probably not worth trying. I’m pretty sure the other two clips aren’t fps based though. You can do a clip as scout where you grapple to the ground under the pod and let it land on top of you. The other clip is using the ramp that drops down out the front of the pod when it lands. The advantage is that it can be done a bit after the pod lands (encase you’re late for the under the pod grapple). It’s finicky depending on how the pod lands though, so I wouldn’t worry about that one so much. I’m not at my pc rn, but I’m sure someone else can drop in a clip of the under the pod clip. It’s pretty easy, you just gotta grapple at the right height and be there before the pod lands

[alpine spear]

i find it more dependent on ping. at high ping clipping into the pod is kinda terrible, ill test ur theory by frame rate capping

[hushed storm]

EDD refresh + blind run + randoms

[fierce timber]

Blind EDD run, shame I couldn't manage sub 30.

[hollow sinew]

guys are there go to perks for speedrunning (e)deep dives?

[subtle wedge]

That EDD stage 2 tho

[fierce timber]

Heightened Senses is good so you can escape mactera grabbers and leeches instantly, saving a lot of time if you get grabbed.

[pastel violet]

[hollow sinew]

oh that makes a lot of sense, thx

[daring kite]

edd with randos

stage 3 fun as hell

[turbid jolt]

Ngl, wish volatile guts didn't damage players cause otherwise I'd actually like it

[wanton ocean]

Round 2 as scooter

[muted ravine]

Me and my best friend are planning to blindly speedrun the DD

[dusk herald]

Good grief this first attempt at the speedrun was pathetic

Trying to do the 6 egg faster but there's just way too many bugs. But I can't afford to slow down too much by fighting them off or that's gonna burn a lot of time

[alpine spear]

pheromones?

[dusk herald]

I've tried that but they keep bugging out and not working like they're supposed to, the bugs keep attacking me instead

And I'm not that great with the crossbow, I keep swapping off of the bolts when I don't mean to and end up with the wrong bolt in hand

Certainly doesn't help that none of the Morkite in stage 1 can be skipped unless you have Dark Morkite

[mild veldt]

pheromones can be pretty buggy for sure. are you throwing them into the middle of a big group? I find the more bugs I hit the more effective they are

[ionic geode]

coudlve been faster if i didnt mine the extra 300 ntira

[waxen helm]

with extra 392 nitra, call just 2 supply

[idle shuttle]

not really a speedrun but whatever

[severe junco]

ich bin schwul

[vestal tapir]

nein du bist doof

[cold widget]

im the engineer

[cold widget]

what is that driller doing with 22 downs lmao

don’t blame him tbf

[dusk herald]

Uhhhh the deep dive bugged out after the first mission 🤣

I legit have no idea what happened there haha. I glitched into the pod and then that happens 🤣

[fossil ruin]

Did you click “abort mission”? If you click it too soon you’ll get ‘mission failed’ with this end screen

[dusk herald]

Not that I'm aware no. After I glitched into the pod I didn't touch anything

[silver valve]

not bad for dropping in with no idea what im doing

[dusk herald]

EYYYY I'm getting there 😄 I'm aiming for a sub 30 runtime. Considering that I'm a novice speedrunner, that this is my first time attempting a solo speedrun and what the missions are I don't think that's too bad of a time to shoot for

My best stages so far are:
Stage 1 - 4:17 (updated since posting)
Stage 2 Split - 12:30 (updated since posting)
Stage 3 Split - 10:34 (updated since posting)

And this is my current loadout

[floral oar]

i like the hat

[young plaza]

Idk if ill try again but sub 30 is very possible. Duos could get in the low twenties.

[dusk herald]

Speaking of sub-30 Snoop 🤣

[young plaza]

I’ll give it another go see if I can break 30 min with Gunner.

[naive peak]

2nd time in deep dive idk

[dusk herald]

Haha yeah I tossed the GSG Guardian cap on him

[alpine spear]

did a roller knock you out of the safe zone in the pod after mission eneded?

[dusk herald]

Possibly, I don't recall. But I had that happen on a different run and it kept going

[alpine spear]

well for me it ended the run

[dusk herald]

Strange

[rapid yew]

hı

[dusk herald]

Sup

[upbeat ginkgo]

its alright i guess

[eager nymph]

[minor helm]

thought I'd get a few runs in before the reset. Sub 25 is possible

[vernal turret]

is there a drunk%

[fierce timber]

This weeks EDD doesnt seem that speedrun friendly, but managed sub 40 at least.

Went down because a huge icicle fell on my head when low health lol.

[fast lotus]

forgot to screenshoot the full breakdown 😢

[fierce timber]

Decided to go at the normal DD too, blind run.

[fossil ruin]

Good week for the regular DD. Wonder if we’ll see a sub-10 👀

[quartz spear]

the ceiling spikes got you good lol, had to replay that part, sometimes it do be like that

[fierce timber]

haha yeah, I did not expect to be bonked that badly, otherwise could have been deathless EDD

[cold widget]

Wasn't 100% solo, i had full team in zone 1, driller left in zone 2

But in zone 3 as the drop pod lit up i noticed, zero teammates by my side

Took like 4-5 different swarms but I got out of 3

First time beating EDD zone 3

(Solo)

[mossy solar]

congrats

at least solo edd no issue

[drowsy dagger]

Last week and this weeks, both blind.

[fast lotus]

redo-ing this with randos since for some reason it didn't detect that I have done it

[bright peak]

i just joined the union where is my hoildays

[keen gyro]

Man we’re barely getting beard care products, none the less days off

The OSHA reviewer came to check out the space rig yesterday and got so pale he had to leave 15 minutes into the review

[dusk herald]

YOOOOO WE'RE GAMERS!!!! @minor helm

[opal falcon]

Never did fast DeepDives before. Anyone wanna simply try to get the 45 min achievement with me?

[grave birch]

if youre aiming to clear deep dives fast the best way to do that is just be fast at missions in general, and the best way to get fast at missions is to play solo (the best way to get better quick in general)
generally you aim to get 80 nitra somewhat early so you have a resupply when you need it and the rest is down to efficient movement and always be doing smth

playing with people that run much faster than you isnt really gonna help you youre just gonna sit there wondering what to do

[alpine spear]

not to mention slowing them down

[sweet rose]

Russian speak?

in direct pleasee

[tame oxide]

I got it from my first deep dive

[heavy dove]

what are these?

[gray drift]

its a mini soccer game, there is also a ball that you can throw through those goals, it will count the goals

[heavy dove]

Thanks!

[dusk herald]

🎶 *How low can you go?*🎶

This is our fastest run yet haha. Done with this dive faster than it takes to make a box of mac and cheese 🤣

[minor helm]

i'm thinking sub 14 is possible with some secret sauce strat in stage 2 that we're not aware of, but as we are now we're pretty pressed all ready for what we got, and I'm pretty satisfied with what we achieved

[wind tartan]

holy moly

how ?

[heavy roost]

My friend and I were able to pull it off sub 14. Had a perfect detonator spawn in stage 2 that took out both twins (and me...). Also excuse the german on the screenshot

[blazing edge]

the goats

[versed gulch]

good job on the tiefenexpedition

[thorny crest]

Okay really tho, how are y'all getting thru dotty stage so fast? 😱 Or is that where most of the time is being spent on then 12-20 min runs?

[dusk herald]

Holy buckets!! Damn you guys are quick 🤣

[dusk herald]

Hell yeah Ryeor FOR ROCK AND STONE

[round egret]

when you're going for a good time but shiny rocks go plink plink plink

[round egret]

normal DD gets speedrunned more often than EDD

[thorny crest]

Ahh I didn't notice the screenshots were the DD 😅

[dusk herald]

YOOOO I'm so proud of this 😄 @minor helm

[cerulean sapphire]

Damn

[scenic halo]

Nice

[dusk herald]

Sub 7 stage 2 total time

[zinc flare]

I guess that time is possible with the amount of nitra and gold you got.

[final ruin]

anyone wanna speedrun?

[unborn thunder]

i need to see a video of how tf you're doing these missions so fast haha

[fluid swallow]

just joined the discord and didn't screenshoted my last solo deep dive record but got it in my stats

it was on fractured return aswell

[fickle hull]

what is on elite deep dive?

[dim birch]

As in, what happens in one?
The same stuff as in the regular one, but the hazard levels and how many warnings there can be in total is higher

[dusk herald]

Haha I'll be posting one to my channel tomorrow morning at 7:30am Pacific Standard Time if you wanna see it 😆

[minor helm]

Likewise, i'll be uploading my perspective of the same run at the same time

[fickle hull]

i was asking what objective are in edd

i see on ss

[raw iris]

Is there a place to find tips & trucks for speedrunning? I'd like to try my hand at it

[alpine spear]

just try to finish anything you play fast, focus on objectives not nitra

[raw iris]

@alpine spear Thanks! I would have definitely wasted time gathering nitra

[alpine spear]

i dont know if you're being sarcastic but from my experience with random groups, most swarves rarely focus on the mission objectives and go looking for resources they wont use in the mission

[golden pelican]

I assume scout is optimal for speedrunning?

[grave birch]

Scout or driller depends on layout

[inland crown]

gunner is the best for speedrunning

[dusk herald]

The need for speed is real!! 🤣

[boreal coral]

Hello. Do you have any videos of your runs?

[rich vortex]

#drg-videos

[dusk herald]

Yeah I made one, it's in #drg-videos otherwise you can find it on my channel too ⛏️

[raw iris]

@alpine spear sorry, I can see how it could come off that way. I do tend to be one of those resource hounds

[raw iris]

Is there an optimal perk/attachment set up, or whatever works best for that run?

[grave birch]

dash heightened senses resupplier are generically very good

[blazing edge]

Is iron will a reasonable pick over heightened/dash? Not scout

Or just rely on bosco for revive?

[rich vortex]

You should always take dash, heightened senses is pretty useless in deep dive speedruns (just memorize the leech spawns), and iron will is also good for speedruns as you'll be dying a lot + it is an instant revive. Bosco takes forever to revive you.

So you should always take IW over HS unless it's your first time playing the dive or you don't remember all the spawns.

[blazing edge]

So its more of a blind run thing when memorising layout, got it

[proud nova]

definitely over heightened senses, and for Dash, it's debatable as it depends on you being able to position yourself correctly or not.

[blazing edge]

But it saves time to move from point to point though?

I mean, what else can you really sub it out for the 3 classes

[proud nova]

that's... really not what's important about dash 😄

[blazing edge]

Maybe i have been using dash wrongly

I do use it to repositin but i just spam it during downtime

[rich vortex]

Dash is great for creating distance between you and enemies when necessary, but it's also really good for movement if you bhop to keep your speed.

I like it more for faster traversal, but I usually play solo, and enemies aren't usually that overwhelming in solo unmodded difficulties

[raw iris]

I wonder if hot feet for the drak could help with mini dashes while on cooldown

[rich vortex]

Only good for aggressive venting.

Using momentum on your grappling hook is far better for that.

[alpine spear]

it is for speed running

[alpine spear]

yes but your zip is waaay better

[fading escarp]

like watching magic happen

[alpine spear]

this is soo wholesome and funny

[alpine spear]

bde

[calm wind]

anyone comepleted elite deep dive yet? its either everyone is dieing or im getting disconnected its like the game dont want me to complete it

[minor helm]

i figured this was coming, nicely done!

[minor helm]

i am VERY interested in those stage splits 👀

[fossil ruin]

Thanks! We couldn't have done it without your resupply strat so credit to you.

Splits: 1:57, 5:34, 11:03

[minor helm]

Huge difference in stage 1 from your last run! What changed?

also wow a sub 4 stage 2!

[fossil ruin]

I changed up my routing a bit, and instead of Snoop grabbing nitra I just grabbed what we needed.

Stage 2 we started the black box right away and fought the hiveguard inside of it. After the first cycle of damage, I went and activated the Twins.

[minor helm]

I'm assuming you started the black box as soon as you could?

[young plaza]

We like to have the deep dives be as difficult as possible

[frosty cove]

Yeah, we need a special EDD for you that all the 2 mains mission is sabotages

With same double warnings in all stages, exploders + swarmers

[rich vortex]

There was an EDD that had two sabotage missions a little while ago, but the seed got regenerated

[gaunt orchid]

Could've been faster on morkite discovery, but otherwise p happy

[frosty cove]

Thats nothing
I mean, i want total 6 caretakers in single EDD
So double sabotage missions in single stage

But i dont want to play it
Snoop need it

[rich vortex]

Industrial Sabotage missions aren't very difficult, they're just annoying and take forever.

The missions with the highest potential difficulty are egg hunts and eliminations, since you can choose to fight multiple things at once.

[elfin forge]

Stacking swarms just makes the overall mission easier not harder

There is a mob cap

[frosty cove]

Thats why i said it on speedrun channel

[fierce timber]

Felt a bit slow, but it was a blind run, at least didn't go down this time at all!

[fierce timber]

Normal Deep Dive too (Videos in #drg-videos )

[alpine spear]

wouldnt it just be easier to drill the 2nd mule in the 2nd stage down than try to ferry the legs up?

[fierce timber]

Probably, but I dont think it would have made that much difference, in terms of saving time
(Also didnt come to mind at the time, because I was distracted by a lot of bugs)

[minor helm]

Not a very great run timewise for solo runners this week. I'm estimating this solo run can be done in about 25-27 minutes.

[fierce timber]

Yeah, this one is definitely not very friendly towards solo runners, and even when not solo, its mostly missions you have to wait in (escort and uplink) no way to speed those up really.

So anything under 30 min I would say is pretty good

[turbid jolt]

For anyone wanting to quickly check

Elite Deep Dive "Naked Burrow" (2023-05-11 to 2023-05-18)
Region: Salt Pits
Stage 1: 200 Morkite + Black Box | Volatile Guts + Exploder Infestation
Stage 2: 3 Mini-mules + 150 Morkite | Elite Threat
Stage 3: 225 Morkite + Classic Dreadnought | Swarmageddon

Deep Dive "Corroded Reserve" (2023-05-11 to 2023-05-18)
Region: Radioactive Exclusion Zone
Stage 1: Escort Duty + 2 Eggs | Low Gravity
Stage 2: 2 Mini-mules + Classic Dreadnought | Shield Disruption
Stage 3: 2 Dreadnoughts (Twins + Classic) + 150 Morkite | Low O2

[rich vortex]

The uplink location in stage 2 of the EDD was quite silly as a solo scout lol

[cunning plover]

agree

so 2.5s HOOK is vital when solo scout

[rich vortex]

That probably would have helped a little, but I like to use momentum since that makes the rest of the mission a lot faster.

My uplink was in a small tunnel, so there wasn't much space to use the grappling hook anyways

[drowsy dagger]

Blind with the boys.

[normal oasis]

under 45 mins and no downs for me

[echo dagger]

I want a Melee only elimination scout speed run with pizza tower music in the background

Make the scout look like a chef with anxiety issues

[stoic nimbus]

with dark morkite

[sleek wyvern]

[half frigate]

.

[stiff brook]

yo

[fluid swallow]

Wanted to get into the 30 minutes but the drilldozer and Drop pod reactivating steals so much time

[minor helm]

this week is bleh

[alpine spear]

use the glitch to skip

[spare brook]

They mean uplink

[fluid swallow]

what glitch? don't know of any

[alpine spear]

if youre talking about uplink then there is no glitch, if youre talking about waiting for pod you can glitch into pod

[muted dome]

what is world record

[floral oar]

like 8 mins

so close to sub 30 but its feeling kind of out of reach 😔 ✊

[alpine spear]

3 time locked missions for this week's edd. Sheesh

[vernal palm]

Accidental speedrun with randoms on last weeks EDD

[azure dust]

Something is Very wrong with this image, Randoms run was okay [somewhat slow start on 2]

[hushed storm]

stage 3 EDD is intense

[oak bone]

how u do it so fast

[proud nova]

skill

[oak bone]

kys

[proud nova]

excuse me ?

[brave venture]

Lmfao what

[peak reef]

lol

[hushed storm]

someone doesnt have skill lmfao

[edgy swan]

ushira is just based

but ye big flex 💪

[edgy swan]

run it with gigachad scout m1k special powder cryo build and scrape together 2 resupply during the escort somehow

30 is probably pushing it close

[tidal iron]

Time locked missions makes me happy since Beni and BeWater let me be the fastest on weeks with those.

[fossil ruin]

😆

[tidal iron]

Still waiting for you to take my haz 5 coop mining and salvage. 😛 that 2 dread you put up was insane my dude.

[fossil ruin]

Thanks! Yeah it’s tough since it’s just Snoop and I doing the runs. We don’t have any other friends that play DRG so we can’t get a full squad together for the other mission types

[upper rover]

edd w a random, not a bad time

[drowsy dagger]

Blind with the boys.

[alpine spear]

I can try to join if you like

[alpine spear]

Tbh, 2 person scaling is the best for speedruns

[fierce timber]

Damn, this weeks EDD really whooped my butt, still think I did alright for solo speedwise though, given the mission types.

[peak reef]

its a rough one for sure, nt

[peak reef]

really really hate the 2nd stage lol

[fierce timber]

Yeah that was an annoying one, so much mactera, helps to dig little trenches around the uplink to hide in during their barrages.

[peak reef]

makes sense, yeah

[fierce timber]

Attempted normal DD as solo scout, drilldozer part kinda slowed the run down, but I guess under 30 still alright.
Videos of both runs in #drg-videos

[minor helm]

we were previously having issues with inexplicably higher-than-usual spawn rates during stage 2 AND the black box in stage 3... plus dottie for whatever reason was not going full speed despite both of us literally standing on her. BUT for this run those issues were somehow fixed... Dottie went full speed resulting in a stage 2 that was 2 minutes faster than previous runs, and spawn rates during the black box in stage 3 were manageable compared to previous runs allowing for a split up strategy

[dusk herald]

Mind boggling 😵‍💫

[next hawk]

Not the fastest but im surprised I held up well

[thorn pier]

shouldnt have chased both hoarders

[peak reef]

it happens. we all get a little thirsty for gold

[hardy slate]

lets go
