deep-dive-speedrunning

[peak reef]

pretty bad one for speed this week on the edd

might be more fitting for challenge run-y attempts

egg auto popping extremely annoying

stage 2 decently fast but the other 2 arent great

[fierce timber]

Felt like a bit hard to go fast on this one, but I think I did alright given the time, was also a blind run
Playthrough in #drg-videos

[valid patio]

A green background instead of a red one is so much more appealing after an EDD

Second time of asking, and first EDD sub 1 hour. RnS

[sacred shadow]

just some chill solo deep dive before going to sleep

[delicate falcon]

blind run

[drowsy dagger]

Half blind with the boys.

[rigid gust]

full blind, drillin wit da boys

[hot spoke]

Bruh almost my first sub 30

[dusky citrus]

whats the record for deep dives so far?

[minor helm]

8:09 for DD and 6:29 for EDD, I think

[spare brook]

blind, but didn't bring pheromones which made it a lot harder than it needed to be

[devout sandal]

i take it that scout is the way to go for solo?

[rich vortex]

usually

sometimes driller is faster though

[devout sandal]

i see i see

[proud nova]

any class can work for soloing

the speed of it will depend on your own skill with the class as well as the mission selection

Scout might be faster for some mission but slower for others (escort is a good example)

[rich vortex]

engineer and gunner don't really have any unique abilities

[proud nova]

?

[rich vortex]

maybe engi might be viable if you used RJ250

[rich vortex]

this is the speedrun channel

[proud nova]

I'm aware

[rich vortex]

gunner and engi are outclassed in speedruns

[proud nova]

not really

engi has the fastest IS speedrun time as far as I know

and gunner is the slowest but also the safest class

[rich vortex]

i can only see that being the case on a lower difficulty where his turrets can solo a hacking pod while you go do the other one

but it might not even be worth the movement penalty

maybe he is the fastest for solo IS, but still, there's really no reason to use him for anything else

[rich vortex]

speedruns aren't about safety

you're trying to go fast

gunner being the slowest automatically disqualifies him for any solo speedrun

[proud nova]

yeah yeah sure

[rich vortex]

the only exception i can think of being escort, but escort is a weird mission type

[proud nova]

her,e I'll say you're right

have fun

not gonna waste my time debating this tbh

[rich vortex]

there's nothing to debate

[proud nova]

sure m8

[formal vapor]

Gunner mains malding

[pliant bear]

Man, I just failed the final stage of the EDD because my wifi went out

And my driller has no way to really handle the flying rocks

So they butchered poor doretta with little opposition

[vocal verge]

unlucky

[alpine spear]

epc, axes, vim all options

you can also use the repair window to get away with some

[opaque coral]

Gotta give engi somewhat a fair shot because they can force drop pod spawn

And rj ofc

And if Sabo is in dd or edd can also help

Just really depends

Gunner in speed running (in general) can be good for elim, tho for deep dives I’m not so sure

Then again this is team play and not solo so, rip on my part

[rich vortex]

i'm not sure how that exploit works, but i guess it sounds useful

i think it's faster to go to the drop pod location with scout though

but that depends on the tunnel length

also not getting the drop pod glitch can slow you down a lot

[rich vortex]

in some missions maybe

in low difficulties, hyper prop engi is pretty good for killing dreads

[cunning sentinel]

the pod spawn manip is very consistent and can be done quick, can carve out a small room during any downtime or block a tunnel with plats/resup

[spark chasm]

@grand sparrow looks like some moderation is needed

[opaque coral]

Yeah I’d say engi depending on the dive drop pod spawning wouldn’t be too bad, just depends on mission

<@&296918282403840000>

[peak reef]

as someone who plays gunner a lot in deep dive runs, i think there are specific missions where gunner is quite fast due to just overwhelming killing power; a main case for this is eggs, like last week for example where the stage 2, all six eggs were visible from one spot

my strategy for gunner was more or less to run around shooting my feet w/ minelayer while spamming fears while bosco got the eggs and i used the shields to repair the mules as well as to give myself space whenever needed, and it ended up being much more consistent than my driller attempts at the same strategy, where the eggs were a bit too far away from each other for me to get all six and then call pod without getting omega swarmed

perhaps a skill issue on my part that i cant handle that many enemies with driller, but gunner made it really simple and i did end up saving time over driller on that specific mission

however id say that is the exception and not the rule, gunner requires a very specific set of circumstances to be comparable to driller and i doubt he'll ever be comparable to scout

[blazing edge]

do you know how big the hole needs to be? or just a small one that fits both molly and the players will do?

ive seen cn pubs doing it quite frequently now and kinda curious

[peak reef]

from some testing, i find that it needs to be a bit wider than just like, a 1x1 hole going down

if you c4 for example, it always works

even without terrain carver, if i remember correctly

like dig down a little, c4, cover up the hole and you're good

i wasnt willing to pickaxe dirt for like an hour to find precise dimensions

[blazing edge]

big radius c4?

or regular will do?

[peak reef]

i think regular works, i can go test that if you'd like

[blazing edge]

if you can, thanks

[blazing edge]

i just saw this, mb

[peak reef]

works just fine, recorded a video as well that ill upload in a minute here

quality will be pretty low since my internet is omega garbage but it shows it just fine

[peak reef]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LutBKD7FgY sorry for quality again but

this 60 mb video took me 20 minutes to upload lmao

[blazing edge]

on the contrary thanks alot 😄

[rich vortex]

yeah, i see what you mean

having a shield would be nice for depositing eggs too

[round egret]

i feel like i don't deserve to call this a speedrun but i was genuinely trying to go fast aklajwrhga

[drowsy dagger]

Blind with the boys, felt pretty slow, could optimize it around 20 I bet with proper dread builds

[blazing wharf]

Same deal here
Albeit on the basic DD

[drowsy dagger]

Good job lads, and it's a speedrun if you're trying to go fast, not because you went fast. Ultimately the only person you really need to compete against is yourself.

[blazing wharf]

Well, myself and the twins, not the best at fighting them >.<

[split wigeon]

I may not be a speed runner but I love to see how far players can break the game to achieve perfection.

[opal patrol]

I have never heard it said like that. Gives me a new and different definition of Speedrun!

[fossil ruin]

😆 my favorite is when you’re Scout and it grabs you mid-grapple while you’re flying through the air.

[thorny crest]

Request for takeoff DENIED

[tacit field]

Frr

[lean token]

Is it just me or does the vertical velocity stingtails apply seem to be off?

If you're on flat ground and it pulls you, you land in front of it pretty consistently.

But if it's above you, you just get yeeted to another dimension.

[cunning sentinel]

it is, quite consistently if they're grabbing from max range while above my head i get flung to the ceiling

[wild gulch]

how did you switch from driller to engi on solo

my mind take lke 20 minutes to process things

@wild gulchhi

me

[peak reef]

the mod is called sandbox utilities, it has a bunch of functionality and that's one of them to let you swap classes

[wild gulch]

sweet thanks man

[elfin cypress]

This was second attempt, but it still was really solid second attempt. Saved about ~6 minutes between stages 2 and 3.

[alpine spear]

and it maintains your velocity.. so very nice whiplash it is

[alpine spear]

infinite range too... such balance

[hollow trout]

Iirc they can launch a grab at you within a 10m radius

So just don't be within 10m inside a cramped cave UwU

[daring slate]

that elite deep dive. i could totally shave 20-30 mins off though

must've been like 15 attempts

stage 2 is rough as

[proud nova]

?

They have a 20m range, 10m when on ceiling/walls

[alpine spear]

if youre in that range and then zip away their hook still hits you

[proud nova]

yeah I'm aware of that, but you could just zip at the right time and dodge the hook.

[restive tendon]

hi guys! tell me, can someone help in the European region to pass deep dive? I'm new to the game, there is prestige in every class, I can take something for you, I really want to have time to close it before the end of the week

[alpine spear]

your suggestions are mind blowing as usual. thank you kind sir

[alpine spear]

it'll be easier for you to find games in #lfg-steam etc

[crude obsidian]

it is definetely more because today one grabed me from over 30 meters and threw me to my death

[exotic furnace]

What is this week's deep dive and edd

[proven knot]

check pins in #deep-dive-discussion

fair notice: this week's EDD is tough as nails

[alpine spear]

its fun af tho

[proven knot]

i haven't been able to clear stage two, lol. we got overwhelmed at fuel pods

[alpine spear]

try getting red rock and dividing your team into burst dmg and crowd clear, should be a breeze, if you're solo scout is best for the kiting abilities and bursting dreads with the timing that you set

[proven knot]

i'm not attempting it anymore, just gonna wait till reset tomorrow. hopefully the EDD is easier, lol

but ty for the advice

[alpine spear]

dont hope just complete.

[vital locust]

If you still want to try and complete it I'd be down to help assuming youre NA

[proven knot]

it's late for me, I'll be heading to bed soon

[vernal palm]

Very chill EDD, no stress whatsoever

[fierce timber]

Good EDD, went down a few times, but I bet I could shave a lot of time off if I tried again!
Playthrough in #drg-videos!

[peak reef]

yeah looks like a decent week

[astral summit]

is there any way to increase the consistency of glitching into drop pod?

The method of glitching in by jumping when it lands for me has a 10% chance of making me no-clip through the ground and die. The method of glitching in by bugging through the metal part either works instnatly or just doesn't work at all.

[cunning sentinel]

you're probably too far down the pit that the drill digs and just get pushed through the floor

hard to explain without a vid, but i'd say about half way up the angled wall part carved by the drill is where you should wait to get it consistently

[peak reef]

#deep-dive-speedrunning message

for other classes you can just stand in that same spot

dont jump as it comes down on you, jump after it lands already

and for molly side clip, uncap fps and hope for the best mostly

[astral summit]

Didn't know about those tips, thanks!

[glass creek]

Im about to start the 3rd mission its been 20 mins

[round egret]

damn you know last week sucked when it took six scrolls to get back to my last post

[peak reef]

yeah last week was like

i played it a few times and the combination of dread spam and a relatively hard s2 made it pretty unfun for me to actually run

i wasnt able to find a way to route out s1 that actually felt decent due to low o2

and s2 was always at risk of major time loss due to stingtail funny moments #37

[lusty girder]

me and some randoms

[sacred dirge]

yo did you mod to lvl 1000?? that times inasne by the way

[fierce timber]

Nope, been playing since around 2018 I think? But thanks!

[frosty cove]

Cheating is possible, but only for leaf lovers
But *non-cheaty, highest lvl i see is 3000+

[untold osprey]

Man could survive setting up a family directly in the caves of Hoxxes

[vital locust]

highest level legit player is pinkuma at about lvl 6500 last time i checked, they stream on twitch

[frosty cove]

Is it? I think someone calculated, that beyond 4000+ isnt possible because the game havent released + you need to keep playing 24h nonstop every single day, from DRG closed beta to this day

Maybe last year i chat with him here
5000 could be possible

Well, if you cheats, you can just add any lvl you want
Like lvl 200k or something lmao

And no one really mad, coz it not disturb someone's gameplay

[proud nova]

that person said a lot of bullshit

[vital locust]

thats interesting, and not really true at all but interesting

[rich vortex]

highest I've seen is 7300+

player was Spaceballs

have seen him in a few vanilla lobbies before, so i'm guessing he's legit

also he's probably a lot higher than 7300 by now

[proven knot]

highest i've encountered was ~16,000, which was definitely save-edited, but i've also met Spaceballs in pubs before. he's alright.

yup, here's an image I took of him

[verbal frost]

Oof, anything on low and still 36 FPS?

[vital locust]

<@&296918282403840000> weird ass profile

[proven knot]

I only have 2GB of VRAM. I use TAA with FSR for more frames. I get 60 FPS in caves, though!

[halcyon oasis]

(i took the screenshot before the credits and exp and stuff popped up)

I'm the level 53 engie lol, I've never done anything even remotely close to speedrunning a EDD

But the rest of the team did everything with blinding pace I didn't even know was possible

I sorta feel bad for a dreadnought we encountered, it was just obliterated

[frosty cove]

Lol, congratz man

[alpine spear]

well you learnt something about speedrunning then. 🙂 congrats

the bug has bitten you too, now there is no going back

[oblique pumice]

!

[fossil ruin]

FYI with the new update today, the 'abort mission' glitch is officially dead. Also, you can no longer use the platform strategy with Engineer to manipulate the drop pod location. You can also no longer use a resupply to block the path to manipulate the drop pod location.

Flipping the spawn by utilizing player location in co-op still works, however.

[peak reef]

ah well

was nice while it lasted i suppose

wish i abused it more to try and get decent engi times

this doesnt affect drop pod generation re: rooms you havent entered yet, right?

like the pod wont drop past dirt walls or something

[fierce timber]

What was the abort mission glitch? I only heard of the platform one

[fossil ruin]

If you click 'abort mission' after getting into the drop pod, the mission (or stage) would immediately end and you would save about 8 seconds of time. I think some people also found an XP exploit with it - which is ultimately what led to its demise.

[peak reef]

yeah losing that one really stings

[alpine spear]

yeah i was kinda hoping that only the xp shizz would be removed. but too bad

[glacial raven]

the abort bug made you win twice every mission reward for normal games

[peak reef]

i wish they just fixed that instead of removing the whole thing

[rich vortex]

wow, didn't know about the XP exploit

it is sad that the extraction skip is gone now though

[rigid gust]

first pass blind, all but one of our downs were on stage 3's black box. we were not prepared for that.

oh no, we did take a hit stage 2 as well. forgot about that.

[old dock]

whoever that dude is, is god

this was my first time doing elite DD and i never done haz5 before either

Looking for help

Elite deep dive: Titanic Prize

Been working on it for 8+hours and just can't get it done [scout]

[pastel violet]

<@&296918282403840000> Hey, can a mod help me with this? Trying to edit the pinned message on #deep-dive-discussion, but the Automod keeps blocking when i try to change the deep dive part to the new one that is:
DEEP DIVE
Region: Azure Weald | Code Name: Abandoned View
Stage 1: ** 200 Morkite + 2 Eggs | Low Oxygen**
Stage 2: ** 7 Aquarqs + Black Box | No Mutator**
Stage 3: ** 2 Dreadnoughts (Twins + Hiveguard) + 150 Morkite | Rich Atmosphere Shield Disruption**

(EDIT)
So, apparently it was triggering some kind of antispam because of character count? Don't know how it works, but reducing the characters made it work for me

Alright, narrowed down the problem to this:

Stage 1: ** 200 Morkite + 2 Eggs | Low Oxygen**

Well, just got kicked from automod

Damn

Not gonna tamper with it until someone can check it, since i got kicked, i don't know if the next one could be an autoban or something
I could be wrong, but maybe it has something to do with the liquid morkite meme? Or because it would be editing it into a pinned message idk

[shut plover]

Thanks for the heads up beni!
P.S. I use your jump into the bottom of the drop pod technique to amaze greenbeards all the time now.

[regal bridge]

how the fuck rr u running this game lmfao

[peak reef]

kinda doubt im gonna play this one again

for anyone looking to run, dark morkite highly recommended to skip out on some pathing at the end of s2 and general usefulness on all 3 stages

[proven knot]

the game runs fine

[normal cliff]

Can't beat this week's dive with a full team, or just in general?

[cold widget]

in general

[normal cliff]

this probably isn't the channel for general info and I don't want to spam it, but if it helps, beating the third stage is really unnecessary unless you're focused on completing everything - cosmetic overclocks are just cosmetics

you could probably also make the deep dive yourself and name the server something like "looking for greybeards to give me a hand," or coordinate with people browsing the deep dive discussion for info on which overclocks might help on a weekly basis

[brittle tree]

what weapon combo do you recommend? i want to attempt my first edd solo tomorrow as gunner

[clever obsidian]

can I play with my steam friends that have the game if use gamepass?

[drowsy dagger]

Blind with the boys.

[cold widget]

no

[peak reef]

i ran lsls/hellfire coil gun here, i dont know if its straight up the best build for the mission layout this week but its effective at everything u need it to do since hellfire is busted and lsls is good at killing the caretaker. i also saw the black box on s2 and salvage on s3 and brougt leadbursters just to deal with possible bulk dets

as well as leadbursters just being a good grenade ofc but i like to minimize risk

[vale siren]

Is a sub 30 good?

[night pivot]

Yes

[vale siren]

[proven knot]

not the best time, but decent for three people. our gunner left on stage one :P

[peak reef]

stages on the edd are favorable for speed, potential for skipping straight to end room on s2 w/ dark morkite (dread is in the same room)
require some high dread dps but not half bad week

[round egret]

meeeeh

[normal cliff]

Finished in 50:33 with a team of randos. Everything went fine until we called the pod on stage 3. Driller was out of fuel and we were all low on ammo so we had to crawl back through the tunnels and i think we all had to pop iron will before two of us made it to the pod.

A thrilling conclusion to an otherwise uneventful EDD

Hola!!✌️

[craggy agate]

a hollow bough with nitra???

[near heron]

[winter dawn]

Anyone know where to learn to speedrun? I got a 35 in an EDD with randoms and I realized it was so fun. I see ppl with like 10 bruh

[cunning sentinel]

there's not really any one place, lot of it comes from playtime or watching people going fast

skipping nitra veins, doing multiple objectives, drop pod flipping/clipping and rerunning the dive a whole lot to memorize the layout

though speaking of that i don't know anywhere pod flipping is documented, not possible to do in solo

but basically the pod will always try to spawn on the opposite side of the cave as you, so if a scout goes to the opposite side of the cave and someone hits the button it *usually will land on or near the mule

you can also animation cancel the deposit by alternating between interact key and pickaxe, about 50% faster than holding e iirc

[winter dawn]

Will the flipping and clipping be patched out ever

[winter dawn]

Yea just learned this by accident lol

[cunning sentinel]

clipping is mostly a result of the drop pod having jank hitboxes so it's unlikely, and flipping is a side effect of how the game decides where the pod lands so it's also unlikely

[winter dawn]

Hit boxes can always be fixed

[cunning sentinel]

they're also kinda inconsistent and vary from host/client

[peak reef]

its also worth looking into sandbox utilities and mapping out the dive in a controlled environment so you can figure out the best way to move through it, if you're serious about running any given week

mapping out nitra and morkite veins so that you only get what is necessary can help a lot depending on the dive, and in general you want to be thinking about if what you're currently doing in any mission is actually advancing you to the end of it

fighting enemies isnt speeding up the timer, is what im getting at; try and push your limits of how fast you can move through objectives while still dealing with enemies

for scout this is easiest to understand because he has a lot of tools to get enemies off him and just avoid them in general but it does apply to every class

[alpine spear]

or use sandbox to look for routes

[alpine spear]

beni has a couple of duo runs in which they flip the pod

[cunning sentinel]

i meant documented as in a guide or something

they just kinda do it, but yeah

[chrome crypt]

this weeks Deep Dive speedrun (most beatable time)

[alpine spear]

@fossil ruin in your experience are the swarm eggs seeded?

[thorny crest]

From my experience ya, they generally are in about if not the exact same locational

One thing I've never looked into over the last couple years is if the swarm trigger eggs are always the same. Curious to know but too lazy to investigate tbh 😅

[alpine spear]

this is my question ffs.

the location of all eggs is always the same in deep dives (or any other seeded mission).

[fossil ruin]

No it’s random

[alpine spear]

yea i figured as well. just wanted to confirm

thanks a ton

[thorny crest]

Ah dang, sorry misread it last night

[south wasp]

Wait so deep dives are just normal missions with oxygen or?

[proven knot]

deep dives are three sequential missions that share nitra and resources across them. difficulty increases as you progress, and each stage has its own pre-seeded cave gen/modifiers, which means they're prime targets for speedrunning. you usually run them once a week for certain rewards.

28m?? How

It probably took us 20m just for the second stage and we were trying to make it quick

[cold widget]

Can someone who has already completed the EDD this week help me with mine? After 13 failed attempts(and not making it past the 1ST STAGE) I think its time to ask for help

[valid valley]

tschacko

yes my friend i am profesional deep rock galactic player

😦

[rich vortex]

He must have been looking for an unprofesional DRG player

[tidal iron]

Second stage we grabbed a couple arqs on the way over to the BB, started BB ASAP, half way through BB scout broke off for the final arqs so both objectives would be complete at the same time. Pretty sure we got like 6-7m on that split.

[minor helm]

w/ Rocky Mountain buff. Sub 12 is possible

[versed canopy]

Lol, this is what my first four attempts looked like too. If I died the game either ended or was in jeopardy, I was the one carrying. My gunner build that I was using even looks almost identical, coincidentally. Nice job!

[fierce timber]

Solo blind run - Was a tough one, kinda rusty after not playing for a while now.

(Playthrough now in #drg-videos)

[inland dove]

your solo elite was faster than my solo standard... yep, time to find a game I'm not ashamed to post my scores on...

[round egret]

prtsc, alt tab, paste

[alpine spear]

dont give up, all of us dwarves celebrate all runs, slow or fast.

[round egret]

thank god, i was worried i didnt get enough nitra

[vernal palm]

First time solo EDD (blind), immediately got no deaths and under 45 minutes too, clean run

Had 377 nitra left too lmao

[fierce timber]

You can actually save a lot of time by skipping most nitra on dives that have mule repair missions, as all mules repaired gives enough nitra for 1-2 supply pods, so if you plan ahead, you can skip nitra until you get to the mule repairs.

(Mostly applies to solo though, unless your team is very efficient with ammo)

[vernal palm]

Aah thats true, thanks for the tip

[vernal palm]

I done it

[somber charm]

Do i need to put a commentary here ?

[alpine spear]

for a 1.5 hour long deep dive? will be fun

[somber charm]

(i was trying to find morkite on third stage)

[alpine spear]

i wasnt judging.

[somber charm]

No, i mean, it wasn't fun, i was about rage quit just because i could not find the last morkite

[earnest sphinx]

https://i.imgur.com/zielX8e.jpg

wasted so much time kiting stage 2 but im happy with what i got first run

[spark chasm]

yeah the normal DD is pretty annoying, mostly because of one of the wells on stage 2 (though with a driller it's fine) and finding the morkite on stage 3

because there are a lot of twisty intersecting tunnels so it doesn't feel really linear

also if people go off on their own and get leeched given the rerolled warnings lol

i think the warnings got changed because of parasites ending up in the normal warning pool

[junior vessel]

btw guys is the gunner even useful in a speed run? i find him a bit lacking to other classes. am i the only one?

[fierce timber]

Yeah I think he can be a bit lackluster in speedruns sometimes, but also tends to have the highest survivability I think, and depending on the mission types, can be very useful still (Uplinks and muel repair etc)

[earnest sphinx]

gunner has easiest to access stall effects like fear and stun and you can just mow everything down from any range

but scout has the privilege of fastest movement speed so its easier to rush objectives like minimules and its pretty hard to beat phero grenades and just picking your nose as scout

thats only solo perspective though

when it comes to multiplayer you can have so much firepower as gunner that you can pretty much solo a 4 man black box

[icy moss]

Can someone msg me (because im probably not gonna see the reply) the world record for a solo elite deep dive.

Im trying to figure out what is commonly known for really good time for a solo run.

[proud nova]

#deep-dive-speedrunning message

[icy moss]

That's for a 4 person team, im looking for a solo run

[proud nova]

Silaise has done everything sub 10min, no idea for the exact numbers but you could always ask him

[icy moss]

10-12 minutes..

Okay I gotta get at least 20-25 to call it a good speedrun.

And sub 40 minutes for a first try non researched attempt

Sub 1 hour if I dont even look at the mission type

Would you guys agree?

[proud nova]

tbh, I don't know much about speedrunning, but we do have a speedrunning discord in #fan-communities. I don't know how lively it is though.

[humble pilot]

Why am I only able to chat in this particular channel?

Eh whatever, how're the speedruns this week?

[rich vortex]

Good times depend on the seed

It's possible to get well under 15 minutes on some seeds, but those seeds are pretty rare

So usually a "good" time is specific to each dive, since they're all different

[rich vortex]

That's usually what I aim for in blind runs

But I don't consider it to be a speedrun (for me)

A time I would consider to be a speedrun is sub 25 minutes

[devout patrol]

ROCK AND STONE BROTHERS

i wasn't made aware there was an official DRG sever until 20 minutes ago

also I cannot speak in #drg-chat so I'm talking here

[rich vortex]

I really wish people didn't have these permission issues with the other channels

[devout patrol]

oh well

is there a way to fix this?

[rich vortex]

No clue

Trying getting a role from #welcome-and-rules

[devout patrol]

Oooooh

Ok thanks brother

[rich vortex]

No problem

[fossil ruin]

There’s too much variability in the missions to have a specific time for each weekly dive.

Personally, I try to base the stages off of the WR times on the speedrun website. That gives me an estimate of what the total dive will take. Anything around that time I would consider good

[vital scarab]

hey am reuben from kenya

[fast lotus]

EDD rando run

[proud nova]

Bro, free ban.

[fast lotus]

eh ?

[proud nova]

answer for one of those "free nitro" scam 😁

[rich vortex]

Abhorrent.

[alpine spear]

i would suggest this, play each mission type solo or as a team with the goal of finishing that type as fast as possible, then use your average times to see what would be a "reasonable/fast" time for the dd/edd based on the missions available that week.

Whatever time you will set Silaise or benicopter is going to beat anyhow, so youll find the fastest times for that week then. 🙂

[glacial ravine]

First Time trying for "speed". Pretty Happy with the outcome
(Blitzed stage 3 in like 7 minutes so that was cool 🙂

[dusty swift]

any want to help me do the weekly deep dive

[brittle tree]

previous week edd, took me way too long

as absurd as it may sound, 2 deaths were from getting stingtailed into leech...

[queen silo]

speaking of speedrunning deep dive, you may be curious how long mule can take in a casual play

3rd mission is just a non-ending spiral of tunnels like i've never seen. i thought molly gets that long only if you dug her far in a zigzag into map on purpose

[zealous island]

yall i need help but i cant send messages to any other channel

[uneven wolf]

get a role in #welcome-and-rules

[junior hound]

how do yall go abt doing stage 3 fast

tryna do it true solo scout and im having trouble on stage 3

contemplating just trying to do black box then pop all eggs and ignoring trash

[rich vortex]

What else would you do?

If you had Bosco, you could do the black box while he gets the eggs.

[junior hound]

ye but true solo

and the main problem is the spitballers

kinda hard to clear those without dying in the process

[rich vortex]

M1000 is pretty good at killing them.

[junior hound]

the main room is just scary as fuck given leeches and all of the spitballers n stuff

i like have to run av zhukovs

for stage 1 and 2

fuck it imma just get the digging beer then go ripoff driller and hope i can fuck w terrain well enough to do black box then eggs without having to snipe spitballers

[rich vortex]

Special Powder would be pretty good for stage 3

Dreadnoughts on stage 1 might take a little longer, though

[junior hound]

ye thats why i gotta run zhukovs

im sure i could run smthn with m1k if i had fire bolts but i dont so

[rich vortex]

What would you need fire bolts for?

[junior hound]

gotta have some amount of swarm clear for stage 2

and stage 3

cant run from bugs in a black box

[rich vortex]

Ah, right

True solo

[junior hound]

ye

[rich vortex]

I'm used to using Bosco for all pipeline repairs

[junior hound]

thats why av is like my first pick i just spam fear bugs

oh damn i didnt know he could do that

[rich vortex]

It's great for solo scout

Don't have to fight any enemies

[junior hound]

yeye

[rich vortex]

I'm thinking that you could probably do stage 2 with just pheromone grenades

1 resupply gives you 8 of them, which should be enough

[junior hound]

i take cryos for stage one

the biggest problem is my route for stage 3

the whole thing is just a mess

[rich vortex]

Oh

You could probably repair the pipelines by freezing the enemies with cryo nades too

[junior hound]

ye then my favorite part is temp shocking them

[rich vortex]

I'd say M1000 + pheromone bolts with cryo nades might be good

[junior hound]

but its critical weakness either way so stage two is kinda easier than stage one

[rich vortex]

Good dreadnought damage and CC for stage 3

[junior hound]

mhmhmhm

makes sense ill try it out

[rich vortex]

Good luck

[junior hound]

tyty

[spare brook]

get the minehead to land on one of the twins. Then you don't really have to worry about dps and can go with phero nades. From there the rest of the dive won't be too bad because they're busted, so you may as well take special powder

[junior hound]

can you actually do that

either way stage 1 is the least of my worries lol

[spare brook]

yea if you pop it as soon as possible, then run back past the minehead, it'll usually hit one of them

taking phero over cryo though will make the rest of the dive a breeze

phero is just too op

oh I see the cryo was for mactera not for the twins. I don't think it'd be too bad with M1000 to kill them, and phero to distract when you need

[alpine spear]

explaining this to random lobbies is super hard. it is also worth it in multiplayer lobbies to kill one person under the minehead if it involves luring one of the twins there

[spare brook]

I don’t think you should be trying to speedrun with random lobbies, but if you’re the one sacrificing yourself under the minehead then go for it lol

[fast lotus]

yeah... i had few people trying to speedrun even in normal mission run
it was elimination, it wasn't fun

if they want speedplay they could have asked xD

[rich vortex]

The only way to find a good lobby is if you join/host a lobby with a description telling you to go fast

But even then, it is still pretty rare.

And co-op speedplay is pretty hard without good communication

[drowsy dagger]

Still need hipster ffs

[fossil ruin]

I just like Hipster with dreads because it’s a very ammo-efficient overclock. And I used quite a bit of the ammo on the twins in stage 1. But I’m sure you could use a different one and be just fine

[willow palm]

ive been wanting hipster for ages

but yea ill give it a shot

[tame sequoia]

Same

Though given the OC I've already got I suspect it's going to be one of the last ones I get

[mighty lynx]

Oh man, I’m relatively new, and only really have levels on scout, only get overlocks for everyone else and scout weapons I don’t like, feels very real

For the G-1000, is it generally more efficient to focus shots, or is it possible to make the hip fire worth it?

[round egret]

i think supercooling chamber (or whatever its called) is popular for focus shot oriented players

if you prefer hip fire then hipster is perfect for you

and then there's the memers with hoverclock

This is a thing? How does Speedrunning in DRG work?

[potent cargo]

You run fast

DDs have preset seeds, or you can essentially do rsg mission types

[primal mortar]

all of m1 is efficient tbf

[robust igloo]

deep dive is a weekly challenge that is the same for all players

[dull star]

this was fun kek, also 0 deaths(I died while trying to clip into droppod last stage this doesnt count reee)

dds should be 5.5x2 at least

[alpine spear]

well ur death has been added to the counter and will show up in the yearly stats!

[quartz kraken]

This is the best I could do

[outer vault]

how people complete deep dive alone

its impossible

[potent cargo]

its so much easier imo, where do you struggle?

[outer vault]

dreadnoughts

I can't kill even 1 solo

[potent cargo]

class and build?

[outer vault]

well I play on driller with corrosive sludge pump build

[potent cargo]

should be enough ST damage, where is the breaking point? do you get overwhelmed? die to the dread itself? something else?

[outer vault]

I always die to stingtails

that's the problem

Idk how to deal with them

[hollow quartz]

Freeze them

Shoot them

Atomize them

[solar patio]

Take armor break and focus them when you hear the audio cue, their WP is below their tusks, or under the armor on their head, it glows blue when exposed.

Armor break is optional, it just reduces their effective health, allowing for faster killing.

Also tip for their grab, it predicts where you will be and grab's there, so when you see the glow of the grab or hear their grab sound swap the direction you are moving in.

[outer vault]

ty bro ill try

[vernal palm]

look at those times

4 seconds difference

[mighty lynx]

EDD confirmed easier then regular DD?

[north moon]

I got around 30 on evil tomb

[cold widget]

both were pretty decent for speedruns this week

[vernal palm]

My team with EDD was significantly better than the one with DD

So dont think EDD was easier

Thank you very much

How’s it EASIER

you get more shares of resupply?

[nimble egret]

dont know let me check

[uneven wolf]

btw, wrong chat to post this

[nimble egret]

i know

but normal chat wasn't helping

[uneven wolf]

have you tried #bug-discussion tho?

[prime parrot]

first speedrunning DD. had done a "recon" run before tho, my blind time was a gunner 49:19. This week's DD felt pretty simple and straightforward.

Do you often go to the end asap in morkite speedruning? Most of the morkite appears to be at the end of the tunnel every time, so is grabbing the easy veins on the beeline to the end the correct move?

[marble yoke]

isnt it hard especially finding that one section of the cave in the radioactive exclusion zone that has every piece of morkite?

[prime parrot]

morkite missions have only one path (unless it's a DD secondary obj I guess? I don't know the generation rules for morkite as secondary) so you just need to follow it deeper

[marble yoke]

when i did my first mining mission on that zone i got a generation where i got a big rock and there was a room with basicly 1 third of the morkite

[potent cargo]

main objective dictates the gen, secondary is just slapped on top of it afaik

for example if you look at this edd, stage 2 has elim and morkite, it's elim cave gen with morkite somewhere in the caves, luckily ~140 was in the spawn/close egg rooms, forcing you to only tap a vein twice on the way to the further egg

stage 3 has a long, linear morkite cave gen where you can skip the entire middle part (due to thin walls) and still be okay, bunch of the morkite spawned in the tunnels though, so running to the end wouldn't be enough (i think, didn't really check)

morkite kinda sucks because of long caves, having to wait for molly and long backtracks, but running to the end is usually fine

[crisp blaze]

Not much of a 'speed'run but it's the first EDD I ever cleared so this is technically my fastest run

[strong delta]

not really a speed run but quite fast for the 3 greybeard to have carried my gravity challenged dwarf all the way through XD

[fast lotus]

Rando run for EDD this week, could shave off 40 seconds if I didn't forgot to popoff my IW

Rando run for DD, It's bulk surprise on black box as usual

First two were pretty much walks in the park, I think we had both done in 14 or so. 3rd stage two of the drill heads were gimmies but the bottom one we had some technical difficulties. I bet it could be optimized under or around 25 with better players than that engie.

[mighty lynx]

spectating that monster in <25 would be a thing to behold

[fast lotus]

Thats what im saying

[hollow goblet]

Are there any notorious speedrun crews for DRG🤔

I wish my group was more into speedrunning, but I am happy they humor me with a EDD a week. The one night we did it we took like 5 of the haz 5 coop WRs but have never ran again out side of these blind EDDs.

TBF though just cycling missions for good seeds/running the same seed, you lose a lot of the appeal of the games procedural generation, which is a big reason we've played DRG so long over DT/VT/L4D/PD.

[fair plume]

I was able to solo the EDD this week in 52 minutes.

[vagrant prairie]

not bad for a solo run

[tough mason]

how do i get that ingame timer?

is it a mod

[hollow goblet]

That in game timer is base game?

[alpine spear]

which one?

[hollow goblet]

I have no idea but I think he's talking about either the menu or end screen

[potent cargo]

If you're referring to the screenshot, that's ingame by default, if you're referring to the in-mission timer in the speedrun video posted above, that's a mod called simplemissiontimer iirc.

[hollow goblet]

Where is the timer in the video cause I don't see it

[hollow goblet]

Anyone got any tips for this dd

[spare brook]

blind run

[hollow goblet]

my best so far I don't think Ima get sub 28 (I forgot to screen shot so its a video.)

[potent cargo]

My bad, Silaise's POV doesn't have it, i only looked at Milligin's and he uses it, link in the description. It's simply a timer you can put anywhere on the screen.

almost missed the stats but this weeks EDD was fun

we did have the hiveguard break on us though

[rigid gust]

blind run, could have been worse

[regal latch]

best deep dive ever 😎😎

[fast lotus]

oh lawd

[drowsy dagger]

My boi hits 2k

[fast lotus]

congrats on the 2k (for the scout)

[urban glade]

2k looks interesting, might give it a try myself.

[alpine spear]

see you at 2 years or 4k+ hours

[whole root]

Even with them alr being 1.8k?

[lime gorge]

how many hours do you need to be that level dude

[proud nova]

depends how much they speedrun but something between 3 and 4k hours

[lime gorge]

to get to player level 2k

oh wait

i didnt see the k

[drowsy dagger]

We all are close to 1:1 hours to blue, with improving ratios. Our exp floor is 1k/minute on bad missions like long escort and indus, with good missions like long mining hitting 1.5k-2k/minute. All before 2x, which we prioritize.

315k per promo, a promo being 8.33 blue levels, we're doing that at worst in 5-6 hours, at best under 2, but it's pretty rare we get good 2x missions on enough roll overs to do it that fast, I'd average us around 4 hours per promo.

[alpine spear]

yeah, i avoid 2x cause im trying to get to 100 million credits

[drowsy dagger]

Yeah, I've been losing money for a while now... Damn you Deep Rock Galactic.

[alpine spear]

yeah.. they suck u out

[urban glade]

Level 1825 took me about 1886 hours.

[lime gorge]

interesting

[dull star]

wow, im at 1k and only like 560 or something

do u speedplay 99% of the time or something?

oh yeah just read it kek

Hi

[cold widget]

What’s the deep dives today?

[thorny crest]

Wrong channel for that info.
You'll always find it as a pinned message in #deep-dive-discussion

Here ya go:
#deep-dive-discussion message

[alpine spear]

it used to be pinned here during muffin cats tenure

[thorny crest]

Ahhh gotcha, never knew that. Ty

[alpine spear]

age is a cruel mistress

[terse hollow]

Shoutout to gunner, played a lot better than I assumed given his level

Haz 5.5 Sabo is hard

[drowsy dagger]

Stumbled through this one.

[forest seal]

holy cow lvl TWO THOUSAND

^ typical greenbeard reaction

[fast lotus]

ikr

Kudos to the team on this one. engi and gunner played (really) well. scout also doing better than expected 🙂

(rando pub)

[mighty lynx]

mad props you mf's who play solo all the time

that shit's scary

[dull star]

Do ppl speedrun edd with custom difficulty?

[alpine spear]

you can check speedrun stats on their website

[remote arrow]

thats a lot of levels

[mighty lynx]

I'm optimistic about our chances

[potent cargo]

that's a run and half dude, nice

[mighty lynx]

at least it was fast

[floral eagle]

wasnt an elite dd but 20 minutes B)

[vestal nacelle]

first EDD ever. Besides the one i failed last week 😄

[worldly spear]

Deep for Speed with a random duo, first time speedrunning and im pretty proud about it

[surreal yarrow]

With Random’s not even trying to speed run. Ignore the activate windows at bottom right

[vivid harness]

T

[sturdy smelt]

not bad for not really trying to go fast

[sturdy smelt]

Speedrun? No idea. Play? Yes. Stone and team 23 does 6x2 dives pretty frequently, and other groups do like Nightmare! And lx2 dives sometimes

[alpine spear]

with friends can optimise way more with faster folks

[hushed storm]

blind + randoms

same thing with EDD

[lavish acorn]

16:51 solo DD

[sacred verge]

first time doing an elite deep dive by myself. just barely under an hour!

[pearl pulsar]

4 random EDD

[cunning sentinel]

dd caves and objectives are incredibly good but stingtails kill most of my desire to rerun it

there is also an aquarq hidden behind a big crystal above the minehead, would've been nice to see that earlier

[drowsy dagger]

Blind with the boys.

[dull star]

Lx2 dd speedplay? Sounds like the ultimate skill gaming

[lucid sparrow]

Sorry, I can’t find the right channel. What should i select??

I’m new to pc gaming, should i play it on Dx12??

[alpine spear]

if you have a decent pc then yes

[lucid sparrow]

I got 16 ram and Rtx 3060ti

[alpine spear]

Ok thanks 🙏🏻

[alpine spear]

should be fine for 12

Ok thank you 🙏🏻

Got a bulk detonator spawn on stage 3 which really messed me up

[rigid gust]

[unreal bane]

Nice Beni, gonna push for the sub8?

[dusk herald]

We've been trying for hours lol

[minor helm]

playing around a time-gate has been a real struggle

[dusk herald]

Two time gates at that

If you count the Aquarqs and BB separate

[thorny crest]

Damn, and here I was feeling good about my 25 😅 well done mate

I think 25 is my best yet and it was a fluke. I was actually confused when the dive ended bc it just flew by yesterday 😱

Didn't realize we were on stage 3 already

[livid swift]

I have completed it for my third deep dive...

shit

[alpine spear]

you do realise what they are trying for right? theyre trying for sub 8 min deep dive

[alpine spear]

so im guessing this is ur strat.. driller drills to the bb while making a hole for quarqs... starts the box while everyone else uses that hole to dunk the 6 quarqs from that room?

[livid swift]

oh sorry i didnt know

[fossil ruin]

I don’t think it’s possible, unfortunately. The black box + aquarq combo is rough. Stage 1 and 3 can be done in around 1:35 each, but stage 2 is taking us around 5:30

[unreal bane]

I also ran into that (I did a few attempts as a trio) and stage 2 seemed the most time consuming

nothing as coordinated as y'all are, but still something thats beginning to pique my interest now when we get decent seeds

[dusk herald]

Literally if it was Morkite or eggs on stage 2 we would've had it by now

[alpine spear]

<@&296918282403840000> spammed everywhere

its back

[dusk herald]

Thank you kindly for keeping your eyes out, smooshing the bugs

[alpine spear]

you didnt reply to my question 😦

[dusk herald]

OH I'm sorry ☹️

We've been trying a lot of different stuff lately but what you asked me isn't one of them

[alpine spear]

ah so you'll are just using the 3 scouts to juggle the quarqs back then

[alpine spear]

is the sum of ur best splits sub 8?

[dusk herald]

Maybe, I'm not sure exactly

[dusk herald]

No it's been one scout and driller in the BB and the other two scouts fetch aquarqs

But like I said we've been trying a lot of different strategies

[alpine spear]

then wont it be faster to make the hole straight to the minehead?

theres 6 in the bb room

[dusk herald]

No the scouts have just been throwing them

[alpine spear]

ah ok

[dusk herald]

We only get 4 over there

The other 3 are elsewhere

[alpine spear]

oh

in my runs there were two in the tunnel leading to the bb, 4 in the bb room and one at the top room

those that i attempted

[dusk herald]

Gotta get to work, ttyl

[alpine spear]

ciao ciao

[minor helm]

Sadly no. :/ Our sum of best is 8:36, but we're considering new strats that'll hopefully bring that down

[alpine spear]

my best splits is 10.36

with 2

[minor helm]

that's a pretty good time! think you'll go for more?

[alpine spear]

nah pretty done ftw

was running epc driller

for the mining

[crisp raft]

Second Deep Dive this far, super happy to get the acm so quickly

[pale mango]

Why can’t I talk

[fluid temple]

Did this with randoms, first attempt at speeding through any dives

Iron willed both times i went down so no wasted time

[fossil ruin]

So close to the WR 😩

[elfin crest]

[elfin crest]

very nice mustache

[dusk herald]

This is as close as we got

[uneven wolf]

#welcome-and-rules read and get a role

[glacial raven]

How much time is left to save on that run ? With the unskippable time

[fossil ruin]

The sum of our best stages ends up being 8:07. I think stage 1 and stage 2 could have each been a couple seconds faster. I'm guessing a best time of around 8:04, but that would have to be perfect.

[alpine spear]

uploading run?

[fossil ruin]

Yeah the link is in #drg-videos

[alpine spear]

imho the abort mission counted heavily against you'll, great run tho

[hollow goblet]

I would stick that in https://discord.com/channels/257785731072786435/565850434376302613 as this is for speedruns

[low hemlock]

How the hell do you finish a deep dive in less than 8 minutes?

[alpine spear]

watch the video

[fossil ruin]

Wait 1-2 years for a fast enough seed, then give up all other responsibilities (including sleep) for 1 week while you incessantly replay the same deep dive over and over striving for the best possible time.

[alpine spear]

much love, i can feel your agony, it was a great run tho

rocky mountain was an interesting touch

[low hemlock]

man

maybe I will not attempt DRG speedrun

also, are deep dives weekly? i did my first one not too long ago

[analog stratus]

yeah, they switch out every thursday

[high trail]

Why not just dig directly down as driller to the last stage??? 😎😎😎

[alpine spear]

thats slow af, they want to speed run

[prisma herald]

That’s why you use C4 and EPC TCF
