man this EDD is hard i keep dying on 2nd stage

Try it with Driller if you have him promoted, just too many Dreadnoughts to fights each stage and easier for the eggs

karmic trout
#

Also the benefit of taking a direct path to wherever you need to go. Soloing dreads as scout is pretty miserable, driller can flame right through him.

sullen burrow
#

ill get it with scout! just need to step it up

the eggs are super easy i just send bosco on most of them

CA have you tried out other overclocks? or the zhukov or AR weapons ?

jolly gale
#

this week EDD, i use the zhukov. overclock "minimal magazines" @sullen burrow

sullen burrow
#

dont have that one. i have "cryo minelets" and "embedded detonators" both seem good. think i will try them

jolly gale
#

I have both of them, but they didn't seem very useful to me. My aime is basically bad, so I need a lot of ammunition.๐Ÿ˜ข

sullen burrow
#

haha

jolly gale
#

"cryo minlets" sometimes looked good.

sullen burrow
#

i think you aim on the ground with those ones to freeze

#

detonators should be good on draudknaughts and maybe swarms

jolly gale
#

I am deliberately beaten and emits electricity. That's how i kill swarms. and More research will be needed on the overclock. ๐Ÿค”

karmic trout
#

Your aim is nuts btw

#

Watching your streams and vids back you're very spot on

interesting. i have been using pherome grenade + shotgun and blowthrough rounds + bosco grenades

Shotguns are good for killing swarm. boomstick

Damn! 16 minutes means you guys spent <6 minutes on each mission

Cryo minelets works with blowthrough so you can shoot bugs in face and still make mines behind them. Great for bugs on walls & ceiling. Couples very well with IFG and +%30damage to zapped enemies t5 upgrade.

I get speedrunning. I don't get posting a 80 minute run that was likely never intended to be a speedrun, just for the sake of posting it cuz no one else has.

"We did it!" Did what? "Something a thousand other people did better, but we got proof, so in fact, we're the best!" ...Okay... "Or something... We've did... this.. thingy! People should know..." ....Yea... "It's important...!" ...Mmhm...

@timid tide while I agree for the most part there's max 20 people in this channel that actually route/grind/speedrun, and that's being generous. It can be a little annoying to have your solid run undermined by essentially a joke but there isn't much of a community here that we should be gatekeeping. Just encourage people to do better and go faster. :)

Could you possibly screenshot your loadouts for Engi and Bosco that you used, maybe it'll work for me

22132 for the shotgun with mini bullet. 21222 for grenade launcher with fat boy. 2211 for sentry. . 31222 for bosco in that run but 21222 for the extra live is probably better. To be honest, it wouldn't be enough with just this loadout to complete this week EDD. I use an ancient Engineer secret to survive the black box and uplink part of the deep dive

Nice I used some different things, but some were similar like for the shotgun, and me and my friend beat it, I had like 600+ kills more than my friend cause he played scout, but it was fun/ tough nonetheless

Hum, teams of 4 achieve better times than solo runs if I may mboi but if you mean faster because you donโ€™t need to gather a team and you can just reset whenever you than yes it is faster alone rocknstone

among the fastest speedruns are solo players, and its also easier to be solo in general

#

how do you avoid being overwhelmed when your speedrunning an EDD as a scout?

#

every time i end up being swarmed and i cant really kill them all without spending obsurd amounts of time kiting them around

glacial raven
#

use phero grenade

marsh parcel
#

^

heavy obsidian
#

calm isle
#

fleet shell
#

Phero grenade and don't use M1000 with the double barrel, in my opinion. Having either automatic high ammo capacity weapon helps deal with swarms of things unless you really just want to peck away at them with the pick.

#

(I personally don't like the ammo count on double barrel, but I'm sure it's fine solo)

glacial raven
#

If you speedrun you don't really deal with the wave in general you just skip them and do the objectiv asap so in general you spam the phero and use the boomstick with blowtrought to kill the annoying one in 1 or 2 shot for guard

heavy obsidian
#

If you have a Dreadnought in the EDD than you go for a Jumbo Shells Boomstick and Hipfire M1000 build, one of the fastest ways of killing a Dread for Speedrunning

blissful sky
#

Never actually thought about using the phero grenade as a distraction to do objectives, Ill have to try that
thanks

glacial raven
#

Look at CA or Zhos speedrun ( video available on youtube for both i think) you will see how they use it

cobalt trout
#

Honestly coulda done way better obviously, but I was very conservative with my ammo. If I knew I'd end the run with over 600 nitra i woulda been pretty liberal killing bugs.

Do you have to do Deep Dives alone? Sorry, just started playing yesterday and I'm uncultured ๐Ÿ˜‰
@delicate glacier Deep dives don't have to be done alone. It's easier sometimes than having to herd cats in a PUG though. Bosco is much more reliable for any kind of retrieval mission rather than hoping a 2nd player knows their role. Also, the difficulty (ie number of monsters that spawn) scales with the number of people in the party.

vernal salmon
#

I think the spawns still increase when going from 1 to 2 players, but by very little.

edgy bone
cunning wind
#

I think the spawns still increase when going from 1 to 2 players, but by very little.
@vernal salmon Yeah, according to that wiki page, the scale is linear for each extra player. A dev in one of the fora was talking about how 1/2 players - the difficulty was the same. Maybe he was just referring to the spawn rate.

This week DDs were pretty easy we did both in 33 minutes each

probably not the first person to say this but if a drop pot breaks a dread egg it spawns 2, or could spawn 2

did it in the normal deep dive for this week

Can you get double credit for the dread kills?

we left the mission with one dread still alive

Would be sick to test, might be able to route out a far dread or something like that

not consistent, just did it again only spawned 1

maybe has something to do with how the egg is positioned

Something that might be of interest: if you have a key macro that spams jump a million times per second You can b-hop. Which retains some Horizontal momentum.

This works great with the grappling hook, as it allows you to continue to move at speed horizontally for a distance after having grappled to the place you want to go

#

Also; while airborne, you technically arenโ€™t โ€œsprintingโ€. So you can move at close to sprint speed while still being able to shoot

Ive noticed everyone doing the EDD as scout. is scout just the best solo class for speed running deep dives or is it just this one in particular. Also, can I peek those loadouts ๐Ÿ‘€

gray fractal
#

Scout is easily the best solo class in general. The hook keeps you out of dangers way, allows you to get anywhere and your weaponry is still very good. I reckon gunner is the hardest due to his very limited mobility

bronze grove
#

@heavy obsidian I snipped your scout build from your stream. Would you recommend your double barrel and scout rifle loadout for regular play as well?

glacial raven
#

Scout is onli used because the grapplin hook make you faster and you can't beat that with another class in speedrun for most map

heavy obsidian
#

@bronze grove Iโ€™m making a video on this. Solo Speedrun Scout is just ment for that, you can use it on Regular Solo missions too, just take a bit more ammo on the first row for the sniper otherwise Scout multiplayer is very different

Was going to beat that time but the location of the objectives changed for me on stage 2 since today so it's not the same run at all.

Damn, you peopole are badass to do EDD\

Have you got any guide for soloing EDD?

Use Bosco for objectives like Eggs and Morkite. Take Steeve (Guard). Know the map well. Good Luck !

so, whats the perfect loadout to play elite deep dive alone?

Speedrunning would be so much more easier if flashlights were buffed ๐Ÿ™‚

don't speedrunners have the map layout basically memorized

and scout has flare gun

not like light is an issue during speedruns

I'm looking to try and speed run the Normal DD as Scout, any loadout suggestions?

heavy obsidian

thanks but i'll pass, i like my methods the way they are

dense parrot
plain cargo
#

@dense parrot I'm trying to improve with solo speed running too, i believe it helps if you do it a couple times normally just to learn objective locations, potential encounters, Nitra, and then once your familiar with everything, go in and do it as fast as you possibly can, just like that

#

It also helps if you try and focus primarily on the objectives and kill as little to no bugs at all throughout the dive, it's challenging at first, but it can be easy if your real familiar with each stages cave system

@plain cargo Thank for the advice, yes off course i will continue keep trying and we will se. ๐Ÿ˜‰

also how does the assigment board work

you need to finish this assignment first, by playing the missions indicated on the map

If knowing to shoot a dreadnought's azz is the only thing needed to do a 15 minute DDE speedrun, the average player must be elite...

They are machine events, they are special modifiers that only promoted dwarves can use. When completed you can use a blank matrix core (again you need a promoted dwarf) and choose 1 of 3 cores for the forge between 2 weapon overclocks and a cosmetic item

Since you aren't promoted (correct me if i'm wrong) you can't use them so don't worry about them

What Kidder and I found in our runs is that typically there's a "Final Room" that holds the vast majority of Morkite on missions. Very rarely were we able to finish a Morkite objective before making it there

#

It usually ended up being way faster to ignore Morkite not directly on your route and just use the final rooms to get the rest

Hey everyone - do you speedrun for the levels tipically or just the fun of going as fast as you can ?

glacial raven
#

both because you improve when you do speedurn since you need to make good decision fast

and it's fun to see how fast you can go sometime

sometimes it is also to test out how good you can react to things

or how fast can you setup

on the defense stage 2 the best part

high sun

what about both around the mules and on the defence?

glacial raven

around the mule it's not a problem you can use it to kill every enemis x)

#

for me it's on the defense stage 2 + between the 2 egg stage 3

it was a problem for me as it spawned after I killed the enemies...

Curious about the loadout for doing EDD solo as a driller

glacial raven
#

loadout is what you are the more confy with in general only the perk changed with the objectiv and c4/nade change if dreadnaught or not

#

you can go with the epc + tcf upgrade classique build to kill mactera stage 1 this week, and crspr with clean ammo munition with range and damage

high sun
#

I was doing an ice shatter build because of the defense

#

but generally the perks of deep pockets and veteran depo is something you would often see when you see morkite

waxen sand
#

cheers guys

glacial raven
#

if you don't want to speedrun the EDD just go with what you are the more familiar with just take care of the mactera plage + no shield + lethal enemis

supple sinew
#

@glacial raven When you get to the level where you can reliably hit TCF's on mactera and other targets, is it worth to take EPC over the pistol in Haz 5/EDD? The pistol feels pretty strong with the flamer but I find it boring compared to EPC/TCF

glacial raven
#

I use both of them so i never think about that. I take EPC+TCF only to kill mactera because it's one shot for this EDD. On normal mission like haz5 just play what you want everything is good and subata deal more damage on almost every enemi if you don't play EPC heavy hitter. ( TCF = burst if you really need it)

waxen sand
#

Quick follow up, I did it solo, first try.
EPC + TCF really helped a lot for macteras, never tried it until now as I'm more comfortable with the Subata but macteras are my main pain point with it.
Thanks for the suggestion, it was a good call.

#

is it possible to solo edd sub 20 with a scout?

#

I've been working on it and it doesn't seem possible

glacial raven
#

yes it's possible to do sub 20 on a EDD on scout, Zhos did a 14:18 but not this week. This week stage 1 = +- 5 min / stage 2 = -+5/6 min and stage 3 = +-10 min for the best time i think

mortal hill
#

5 min is ideal for the 1st stage I think, for second less than 7, 3rd not sure

#

how do you handle dreadnoughts with a driller, Silaise?

glacial raven
#

in general : egg + dread + morkite can be sub 20

#

c4 the armor, and then flamer/cryo the life or subata

#

since they don't have resistance to fire/freez damage

#

on this EDD you can also use the stalactite

mortal hill
#

yeah must make use of them to get through fast

glacial raven
#

yep

mortal hill
#

it's not so easy to get it done quick if it's a bad RNG

glacial raven
#

i think today i am gonna try to map and do a time

#

for dreadnaught there is no RNG when you play driller because you can kill him without shooting the but

mortal hill
#

is c4-ing and flaming strong enough to kill them quickly?

glacial raven
#

yes

mortal hill
#

really? any particular overclocks?

glacial raven
#

the strategi : c4 with 625 damage on the 700 armor

#

and then just flame or cryo

#

for flammer take the clean one + 1 damage + 1 sticky duration

#

for cryocanon you need icestorm full damage ( but real problem of ammo)

#

with a 50 mag size you deal enough damage in general

#

or take 75 if not enough

mortal hill
#

how about ice spear?

#

never used it against dreadnoughts

glacial raven
#

ice spear is the best only if there is a crit weakness

#

ice spear deal 880 damage

#

on the dreadnaught but

mortal hill
#

that's only when we hit his ass

glacial raven
#

yes

mortal hill
#

not so easy with a driller

glacial raven
#

and there is a delay between press R and the shoot

#

ice spear could be fun to test for speedrun

#

but you need a least 3 shoot + some axe

#

150 cryo ammo + axe + c4

#

if you need to kill 2 dreadnaught it's embarassing x)

mortal hill
#

so flamethrower and epc seem to fit this stage

glacial raven
#

flamer always because grunt take +25% fire damage on glacial strata

mortal hill
#

yes, glacial strata makes it very hard to handle the swarm for a scout

glacial raven
#

epc stage 1 is not usefull / stage 2 does not add damage vs dread but good vs mactera / stage 3 not really usefull

mortal hill
#

I freeze them, and they defrost like in less than 2 seconds

glacial raven
#

take ifg it's better

#

you slow down with a power of 80% and they take 30% more damage

mortal hill
#

I am considering IFG...

#

but mactera spawns

glacial raven
#

and if you speedrun the objectiv is dodge the wave just go for primary and secondary objectif

mortal hill
#

they generate around 10 out of think air

glacial raven
#

yes stage 2 x)

mortal hill
#

thin air* frustrating me

glacial raven
#

i think for a scout this week it's gonna be a build like zhos

#

m1000 + boomstick

#

it's for dreadnaught and you almost never fight wave with the grapplin hook

#

cryonade vs mactera

mortal hill
#

also my favorite.

#

trying it so far there are moments when the fight cannot be avoided, I just die and go-to-hell them

#

so far this seems to work well

glacial raven
#

which perk do you use ?

mortal hill
glacial raven
#

try beastmaster + iron

#

beastmaster can take the agro for you

mortal hill
#

is it only me feeling Steeve kinda weaker than before?

#

feels like he dies so easily even if he's a guard

glacial raven
#

it's more like now he can take damage from dreadnaught/oppressor

#

and if there is a lot of enemis it's hard for him

mortal hill
#

alright I'm giving it a try with Beastmaster

#

don't think I'm gonna make it sub 20 though

#

maybe zh0s can?

glacial raven
#

don't know if he is gonna try the speedrun this week

mortal hill
#

I have to admit - I am incapable of soloing EDD sub 20 with a scout this week.

heavy obsidian
#

Iโ€™d recommend you go Minimal Clips instead of the Hoverclock and the M1k since you spam hipfire you need more ammo and utilize your grappling gun for the fall damage instead of the Hoverclock

mortal hill
#

Now that the resupply pod tunnel is not considered as a path when the drop pod is called back..I don't think it's possible

#

The thing is, zh0s, I do not own Minimal Clip.

#

Very sad

heavy obsidian
#

And I go Light Weight on the pickaxe instead of the damage to use it to dig or kill ennemis more often, but thatโ€™s just me I think it can work too

#

Oh understandable then x)

mortal hill
#

How do you handle Dreadnought howling and rotating at the same time Zh0s?

#

It really pisses me off - is it a bug or intended?

heavy obsidian
#

Ahhh the good olโ€™ moonwalking Dreads

#

Iโ€™m trying to figure out how to deal with it and not sticking to his ass 24/7 works sometimes ? I keep some distance and when he is locked in and sure he wonโ€™t move, then you go in but it is very annoying and thatโ€™s what I do about it so far

glacial raven
mortal hill
#

It can be improved-but not by much, of course not sub20

#

unless I figure out the way to have MULE use the resupply pod tunnel-

#

Question: is it still possible to make that happen?

glacial raven
#

the supply pod shortcut ?

mortal hill
#

yes

glacial raven
#

i think the dev made it so the mule will never use the supply tunnel

#

but if you do a tunnel by mining it work

#

so i think it's " rng" now

mortal hill
#

I understand- if that happens in low oxygen it would be pain in the ass

glacial raven
#

yes

#

if a shortcut with mining work but not with a supply

#

try a supply shortcut + mine the lower or upper part of it

#

and check if the mule use it or not

#

could be a trick if that work

mortal hill
#

Maybe MULE ignores 90 degree pathways

glacial raven
#

no

#

i drill 90 degree often with my driller and the mule follow me

mortal hill
#

hmm

#

so you mean, make an open tunnel via a resupply pod, and mine upper or lower end of it?

glacial raven
#

yes

#

or try just making a pickaxe hole in it

#

just a powerattack and see if that can enable the molly to use the path

mortal hill
#

would be fantastic if it works

glacial raven
#

it seams to be a " problem" with supply pod and the drilling part

#

because when we tryied to make a part of a map collapse we used supply to drill

#

and the map didn't collapse because of it

mortal hill
#

you mean, you tried to shatter a part of terrain by isolating it in the air with a resupply pod?

#

Did I get it right?

#

If so that is weird, I should try what you suggested- thx ๐Ÿ™‚

glacial raven
#

we tried to make a part of the map shatter with digging + supply pod but it was just flying because of the supply pod part

#

we know it's because of the supply because we tested it by cutting little by little the flying part

is this a speedrunning chat, like ppl help with speedrunning so I can get up to 25 in notime ? ๐Ÿ˜„

It's for people to post their times in the deep dives. What you're looking for is more akin to power leveling, which this isn't the place for. You can ask people who post in #lfg-steam if they'd be willing to help you level up faster, but that's going to be up to whoever feels like helping.

Is there any resources to get into speedrunning? just being in this channel ive caught on to some cute tricks, im curious if anyone collected tricks / builds / guides

compact sinew
#

@unborn mirage I would advise talking to silaise if you want some tips and trick about speedrunning

glacial raven
#

What you want about guides/builds/trick is on speedrun .com but it's out dated and no deep dive categorie only dumb ( in my opinion) categorie and rules

unborn mirage
#

ah thats a shame

glacial raven
#

Maybe we could try to go on the speedrun discord of drg to ask an upaldate but last time i was on hit 6month the last activity in chat

#

If you want to speedrun with scout you can check Zh0s or CA speedrun perk and build on youtube/ twitch

unborn mirage
#

perfect, ill start there

#

I'm honestly a little surprised how little (quality) guides there are for this game in general, I played payday and vermintide at launch and it had a very established core of tryhards making very elaborate guides

glacial raven
#

On steam there is some guide. for speedrun it's a little community ^^ if you want to ask tips or trick to speedrun with a class ask we can always help

high sun
#

also a nice way to start is to try and complete short mission with 1 or less resupplys on haz5

#

it gives a good mindset to what you need to deal with, for example with scout getting all 4 eggs and kiting around even when there is a swarm

#

What is tu current record for thsi week?

glacial raven
#

no record because noone posted a time yet

#

but this week EDD is boring to speedrun so low chance to see a " good" time

deft crest
#

We had a friends that had to quit at 17h and we did 25min I just want to know what specialist can do

glacial raven
#

for dd or edd ?

deft crest
#

dd

glacial raven
#

for the dd solo = under 25

#

if it's a team it's under 20 possibly

#

but 25 is really a good time

#

in general salvage =8-10 min if everything goes well, mining = 5-7 min the map change the time alot
egg hunt = 5 min with the black box it's time wasting on solo run

tender light
#

holy heck, the EDD icon looks pretty nice that way

sharp haven
#

My first attempt at solo deep dive/speedrunning, I brought dash + field medic by accident ๐Ÿ˜–

#

salvage mission takes up so much time, just waiting :/

unborn mirage
#

so I heard people sometimes use a resuply to make a vertical tunnel between caves to get out faster during extraction, thing is, how do you traverse this if its longer than 30 meters?

high sun
#

doing the mine into the wall trick

#

or hoverboots

unborn mirage
#

ah right! Can you actually consistently do that without fall damage if you time it right?

high sun
#

mainly if you can get rocky mount it is easier

#

because you pickaxe ->power attack, to remove 2 spaces

unborn mirage
#

oh thats clever

#

would the power attack AoE help as well or does that not affect mining

#

the pick upgrade i mean

high sun
#

I dont think the aoe helps

#

but not sure about that one

formal herald
#

@unborn mirage if ur playing scout its really ez to traverse with jump rounds for the boomstick.

#

the downside beeing that ur bringing jump rounds lol

mortal hill
#

looks like a driller is the most appropriate for EDD solo speedrun this time

Really don't want to push for sub 20 purely for stage 1 alone. Best I've been able to do is 7:30. Other 2 stages are pretty chill though.

Hey guys I keep having this problem where whenever I try to join my friends game it says multiplayer session ended. Can anyone give me a hand

olive canyon
#

disband team or tell ur friend to do it

fickle finch
#

Are deep dives challenging to solo? (have yet to do them)

shut whale
#

regular or elite?

#

regulars i have had no problem with, about the same difficulty as haz 3, maybe haz 4 depending on how fast you are

#

haven't attempted elites yet

fickle finch
#

Ah right gotcha

#

I suppose I'll have to give it a try

Itโ€™s not going to result in the scout being nerfed. Thatโ€™s what the class is supposed to be good at; moving really quickly.

glacial raven
#

and the best time this week is driller for the moment so nerf driller ? speedrun time means nothing about the balance of the game

high sun
#

^

#

some classes are faster than other in some aspects, driller and scout have the strongest mobility tools, engie have a tool that can be used and can still speed if it is mainly kill dreads

#

gunner to an extent can also speed dreads

#

but overall the most adaptable would have the best time, hence why driller and scout are usually the ones on top

abstract valley
#

I think the number of users is what will cause the nerf. You can see 2682 players with scout role in this discord, much more than other classes.

spare torrent
#

I wouldn't say it's much more than the others

abstract valley
#

its 14.52% higher than gunner players

high sun
#

just because a class is more popular doesnt mean it is better

abstract valley
#

i didnt say it is better

#

good is not the only reason for nerfing

glacial raven
#

2682 player that need to be purified with c4 lurking

high sun
#

balance is a matter of power, and how it is used...

#

if you balance based on popularity it is going to be a really bad spiral

abstract valley
#

If you are devs, you will not like to see that the number of classes you created are unbalanced, you spend time on each class

#

like you have 4 kids

#

You have to be fair, donโ€™t you?

high sun
#

if you have 4 kids and one of them is popular... :/

spare torrent
#

ya just cut off the popular kid's arm

#

good nerf

abstract valley
#

people can not 'use' your kid

#

This is not a good analogy

#

you should say one of the mare smart

high sun
#

what I question is the aspect of popularity, and that is an outside force

abstract valley
#

you still pay same love on each of tehm
