man this EDD is hard i keep dying on 2nd stage
no where good to fight the damn dreadknaughts keep getting frozen
beating the blackbox NP
not good, but trimming minutes off first stage each time. starts 30+ down to 16

Try it with Driller if you have him promoted, just too many Dreadnoughts to fights each stage and easier for the eggs
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.
ill get it with scout! just need to step it up
the eggs are super easy i just send bosco on most of them
first solo EDD - completed!
good job 
thanks - time to go faster now
EDD Solo Speed run
sick time
thanks 
CA have you tried out other overclocks? or the zhukov or AR weapons ?
this week EDD, i use the zhukov. overclock "minimal magazines" @sullen burrow
dont have that one. i have "cryo minelets" and "embedded detonators" both seem good. think i will try them
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.๐ข
haha
"cryo minlets" sometimes looked good.
i think you aim on the ground with those ones to freeze
detonators should be good on draudknaughts and maybe swarms
I am deliberately beaten and emits electricity. That's how i kill swarms. and More research will be needed on the overclock. ๐ค
interesting. i have been using pherome grenade + shotgun and blowthrough rounds + bosco grenades
@karmic trout lol thx
Shotguns are good for killing swarm. 
Or Bosco will kill the swarmer 
EDD Speed Run (2 dwarf)
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.
not great but first real attempt
Miners, it's been an honor speedrunning with you.
Big sad
RIP that one drink
well the drink is the only thing that works now basically
EDD Solo Speed Run.
Noice
@jolly gale what loadout?
@weak trellis perk = weekend athlete , veteran depositor, iron will, deep pokets, vempire.
m1000 = 2,1,1,2,3 (minimal cleps) / zhukov = 1,2,1,2,2 (minimal magazines) / flare gun = 1,1,1 / grappling = 1,1,1,3 / pheromone canister / armor 1,2,1,1
and here the video. ๐
Impressive
Wasn't able to do the regular dive until today and I couldn't find anyone to play with so I did it solo. 45 minutes on the dot, perfectly average https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/784121323462453903/ED336D047FA296D54CA1F837771CB9829EAA9D18/
Tried so many times to get this < 20 mins but this is the best I could manage this week @ 20:04
lol this new layout with bet c on stage 1 sucks
wish i ran this before the update more
fuck i went down right at the edge of the drop pod to a bulk det, could have been sub
got really lucky on stage 3 with swarm spawns and dread ai i dont think im gonna run this anymore
stage times
7:50~
14:14
20:00
omg. great job! @peak reef
EDD speed run (2dwarf)
nice run!
Noice noice
lmao 2dorf
Solo EDD Speed run (oh my god, so many mactera)
nice one, i thought 30 min would be a good goal time after my first look through
@peak reef so many enemy, and Nayaka Trawler is so crazy ๐ข
yeah i hate those guys
They such pettable tummies though ๐
How do you get anime sprite mod 
First ๐
That scout looks like a jackelope with a beard
Mythic Foot: Magma Core Speedrun time 42:49;
not too shabby
done by: watchtoad, Count Earl, the epic bacon, Nerdy Zin.
got em coach
nice duo run
New year first try Solo EDD Speed Run
Very noice
๐

Could do better with training, but it was my first run and no motivation on trying again ^~^
17 minute EDD
absolutely insane work to everyone posting sub 30's in here
To be fair, you can clear the first stage in probably 5 minutes due to rich atmosphere
cave's tiny too
he posted the pictures prior the new runs release, so this time was freakin hot on magma cores last EDD
First run, sub 30 on monday
I think it was 8th run. Planned.
4 mined mineral ?
true alpha
Bosco OP
you know that every mineral that you put in the mule = mined mineral ?
๐
how did do that?
yes
so why that player is not on the screen ? did he leave/crash ? it's not fair to take a screen like it's a solo run but with other player that leave at the end
Probably crashed because he left after standing in place for a moment
and fair enough, i will delete it and take another screenshot when we got new deep dive

EDD speed run (4dwarf)
got em boys
oops
Stage 2 is hell: 3 brood nexus 2 naedocydes breeder and spitball WTF IS THIS

Hmm noice
Scouts Bulk Babysitting Service
EDD Solo Speed Run
Sub 30 ๐
4 man, technically a speed run if no one else posted it first
80 minutes 
gg
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...
Wasn't trying to speed run but it was at least under an hour.
Had 2 mineral hoarders that gave us a nice heap of croppa.
same
@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. :)
Eh, guess you're right. And really, what do I care ๐
Best bosco build for solo speed runs?
I have 3-1-3-3-2 now. Basically fast reg cryo rocket.
Same as everyone else
Well we know @timid tide has the fastest speed run in the salt mines. Dabs in dwarvish
dd discussion channel can open for picture upload so that people wont post in this channel
@urban lark what do u think
Got 'em 
EDD Solo Speed Run.
Darth Vader voice Impressive
i don't understand what it must take to take on and succeed at sucha feat
speediest solo engineer XD, I like to see you beat that as Engineer 
shout out to Otzdarva for inspiration of being a madman
@golden vector How'd you do it mate, that's impressive beating the EDD's, they are quite the challenge
Could you possibly screenshot your loadouts for Engi and Bosco that you used, maybe it'll work for me
just do it in gallery if you'd like so I can see
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
Ancient Chinese Secret.
So anyone speed run new edd? What loadout lol
Iโll share the new perk build Iโll use for EDD Speedruns
Let's start a new EDD speed run.
EDD Speed Run (2dwarf)
@heavy obsidian THORNS, DEEP POCKETS, SECOND WIND, IRON WILL, FIELD MEDIC (for multi)
lol weeded out the weak link
EDD Speed Run (2dwarf)
http://prntscr.com/qwpqwz fastest loss ?
Nope
who has it beat
damnn just 8 seconds fater
EDD Speed run (2dwarf)
That was just with us dicking around teamkilling each other, it can and has been done faster
I've failed in like 6 seconds before.
How does one get a team to try to speedrun? I like the idea of a 4man speedrun.
You could just LFG it in discord, try to get together a dedicated core that wants to do it every week. There are also regional discords that may be more useful. I know we have a few groups from different places in the world in this channel specifically.
@jolly gale what's your overclocked mods for your weapons? and any tips or tricks that you can throw at me? I'd like to get into speedrunning too.
@alpine sigil i have video. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/547576339 / and tips : use the discord. more try. / I spent five hours trying to get good results. / boom stick : 1,1,3,2,1 jumbo shells / m1000 : 2,1,1,2,1 minimal clips. / THORNS, DEEP POCKETS, SECOND WIND, IRON WILL, FIELD MEDIC (for multi) / good luck! Eikkos! ๐
Thatโs awesome tysm
or use the BERZERKER. for digging the wall fast.
How about the mechanics behind it like I see you use that pickaxe trick anymore of those?
i think pickaxe tirck (skip the delay) is not work. It's just my bad habit.
O.. I heard it was just nerf and yeah. I was also wondering how you were shooting so fast w the boomstick ?
because this.
Ohh... I see tyty
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/547582427 / and BERZERKER perk good digging the wall.
@jolly gale why Deep Pockets?
@jade dew just for nitra ๐
necessary to succeed in EDD? to save time?
or would you pick some other perk that is more valuable?
i think, for save the time. i don't want same nitra mining.
I go deep pockets too, you do less travels to go and get chunks on the ground with small 40 capacity pockets
This EDD is gonna be fun to speedrun
stage 1 is +- 5 min and stage 3 same
just the stage 2 is a salvage so +-10 min
Hmmmm yummy
@jolly gale what happened in the last, how did that dread was killed? Cant understand Korean
is that bulk stepping corps or explosive plants?
feel like it was the driller c4
there is no driller
gunner and scout
think it was cruster grenade triggers explosive plants and dread is killed by explosion
wait what are you referring to
which one?
stage three
or exploders stick on goo idk
it's he iron will. and he attack the dread.
35:18 on the regular DD, 3 scouts and 1 engi
Not sure if that's particularly fast for a full team
EDD Speed run (3dwarf)
oof
๐
Noice
Here are my times for both, EDD could've been better tho, oh well
First was 7 min, second was about 16 min, and third took a long ass time cause the ghost made getting the rocks difficult so gunner kitted and scout (I) mined. 4 people or bosco on last mission would save a lot of time.
that scout looks gorgeous
Our best time on today's stream

you're doing great, Mason ๐ ๐
Nice ! Wp
EDD
Huh, no modifiers for third stage this week
Aye
I got an unstable one from stage 2, for the E.P.C
EDD Speed run (2dwarf)
EDD " speedrun" the driller didn't know the map it's his first time this week
it's Mr clean cosplay
@jaunty otter He got demoted from middle management and his beard hasnโt come in.
At least it was a speed demotion
EDD Speed Run (3dwarf)
How is a speedrun on an EDD that possible with that time?! I'm shocked
this week EDD
Excuse me no Scout ? ๐
why play mineral slave when you can play the best classes x)
angery smart noises


dm me for Elite DD and DD mics required
One driller to remove the terrain, and three gunners to remove anything left standing.
EDD Speed run (3dwarf)
first sub 30 solo run ๐คทโโ๏ธ
@heavy obsidian Nice work m8
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/371445824757956609/674874568065941533/unknown.png
Not a Deep Dive, but still probably the fastest mission Iโve ever done
Both cocoons visible from spawn so we popped them both
jesus

first deep dive, tried to be quick. :c
Is the achievement for going fast in a deep dive 45 or 60 minutes?
Oof. The lad just missed it
nice woork
Feelsnotok
Do you have to do Deep Dives alone? Sorry, just started playing yesterday and I'm uncultured ๐
no, experienced players like to do it alone because its faster, but for the fun of it going in with a full team is better
Gotcha, thanks ๐
Hum, teams of 4 achieve better times than solo runs if I may
but if you mean faster because you donโt need to gather a team and you can just reset whenever you than yes it is faster alone 
among the fastest speedruns are solo players, and its also easier to be solo in general
I don't know to say how you're wrong mate
Driller can dig shortcuts while scout gather the objectives, just that
Well then
2 sal and no bulk lol
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
use phero grenade
^
^
^
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)
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
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
Never actually thought about using the phero grenade as a distraction to do objectives, Ill have to try that
thanks
Look at CA or Zhos speedrun ( video available on youtube for both i think) you will see how they use it
Ran my very first DD today, think I made good time for a first run.
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.
Good job!
there u have it
video of the run is in #drg-videos
๐
and I can do that )
this week's gonna be gud 
Do you have to do Deep Dives alone? Sorry, just started playing yesterday and I'm uncultured ๐
@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.
I think the spawns still increase when going from 1 to 2 players, but by very little.
Enemy count is the same for 1-2 players, at haz 3, 4 and 5 at any other difficulty there is a small increase (including at haz3.5, 4.5 and 5.5).
You can check the wiki for more accurate info.
https://deeprockgalactic.gamepedia.com/Difficulty_Scaling#Resistance_Scaling
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
Also repairing the mule without triangulation was quite refreshing ๐คฃ
I managed to do EDD in 37:56 with a full team today, didn't really think of this channel cos we weren't trying to speedrun it. Just happened to have a really solid group
I wish I got a cap of the actual results
Don't think I'll ever get a run that smooth again
that is really nice!
My group beat it, but it was 53 seconds faster then this one here, not too brag or anything
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?
Would be sick to test, might be able to route out a far dread or something like that
i doubt the bug is consistent
not consistent, just did it again only spawned 1
maybe has something to do with how the egg is positioned
EDD Solo Speedrun
nice run
Results for both my DD's this week
GJ
DD's this Week where somewhat easy. Not as bad as other Times.

jeez thats a good time, 18 minutes
pretty good for a first try
jeez ZH0S you flying
EDD solo speedrun
GG CA
gg ZH0S
Thought I'd be better of running DD by myself and I think this is decent result for a first try, while still gathering 90% of resources
is 9 min good for the 2 dreads 2 mini mules
is 29 mins good for current edd in squad?
haven't really tried to speedrun, I'm just surprised we did edd under 30 mins
It's average if you speedrun it seriously the time is under 17 min in squad
hmm
Maybe 30-40 seconds time save possible here if RNG lines up perfect, but this felt like the best time that could be achieved taking the circumstances into account. Video up soonโข
wowie zowie this edd is rough to solo
nvm it was just stage 1
I got something for your mind
Maybe 30-40 seconds time save possible here if RNG lines up perfect, but this felt like the best time that could be achieved taking the circumstances into account.
18:35 end time, March 3rd 2020
EDD solo speed run
Solo Engi, first speed run attempt
Barely, but got it 
nice run
lol fuck this stage 2 i hate spitters
F
oh well, my stage 1's gonna get really good i suppose lol
My best time on the first stage is 4:20 and it was without a beer
i dont use beers anymore, since sometimes they're too impactful to compare times accurately i think
Also no way to actually tell if a beer was used unless you record/ss pre run.

I have to get into this. I recently started playing higher hazard levels solo. Completely different way of playing than I'm used to.
people out here doing solo edd speed runs, meanwhile i'm here doing hazard 1 missions
patience young one
hey lets play
can you creat room

are you making room
some one here to play with me i newly installed this game
Hey pal, that's not the channel for this, try #lfg-steam ๐
jani no one was there too
no one is there all old end games are there
no one is online too play with me can you play with me
Dunno if it's worth time wise but credit were credit is due Blackout did his job with flying colors. It's one of those rare perl of player that will make a great scout one day.
EDD Solo speed run
What is deep dive speedrunning?
Doing deep dive really fast, usually solo with scout

wtf
guinea pigs eating a pizza in the middle of all this
<@&296918282403840000>
got it
thank you
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 arenโt โsprintingโ. So you can move at close to sprint speed while still being able to shoot
this section seems dead, besides those deleted things
Wow thatโs actually pretty decent with a Driller, GG
EDD solo speedrun
@jolly gale well done m8, still holding the title for best scout in the world?
Also any tips on how I can start speed running deep dives, whether it's regular or Elite?
3 seconds late reeeee
@plain cargo thx my friend ๐ and i don't have tip. Just... more try and remember map 
that works for now
@velvet stirrup We could do some higher hazards if you want
Op moment, u dig make platform to close the enter, and wait till fuel is refill then just run away ๐
elven bunker=death from bulk
seems more suited for #deep-dive-discussion
yeah, thats a bulk detonator's favorite snack
!rank
@brittle gazelle Did that so commonly. If you go deep and carry the thing with you, the enemies would just stop spawning entirely.
people stop trying the command, it doesn't work
havent played in a bit, the perk system rework seems cool
feels like more build combos
What seed on stage 3 ? Mine head up or down ?
down
Hi
EDD Solo speed run
Almost under 20 wow
@jolly gale what do you do to kill the dreads so quickly?
use the boomstick with jumbo shell and the m1000
dreadnaught take around 20-30sec to kill if it goes well in general
@plain cargo oh. silaise right. boomstick with jumbo shell.
speed running without scout 
do you white phos on the jumbo shell boom
no i use auto reload
this week regular deep dive seems broken, couple spots with blockage you gotta mine out to progress that arent the soft dirt
when speedrunning with scout, how are you surviving the big spawns of enemies? do you just keep moving and avoid killing?
pherome grenades to bunch em up, bosco rockets, shotgun shots
recent phermone nerf kinda hurts that strat. but i see how that could work well. is is still worth running boomstick if you dont have jumbo shell
i do
are you taking blowthrough as well?
tried it with and without dont notice much difference
got you. thanks for the help
<@&296918282403840000> Erm... I feel like this is a problem. :x
kek the ping doesnt work
Thanks, mods. ^.^;
i count a lot more
At least trolls like that you almost never see in game. I suppose making a discord account is trivial enough to waste time like that on. :\
I've only seen one of those this week, but that probably reflects better on the mod team than the trolls.
That'd be handy, if so.
Anyone wants to play deep dive?
close
Segments ?
dont remember, i ran this on thursday
EDD Solo Speed run
better than last time, very impressive
CA do you have a VOD for your runs?
@clear hill oh i have . https://www.twitch.tv/videos/583854290
but i can't speak english. maybe this better. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/583191607
Can be better, but bosco didn't listen 
You scared me, I thought it was EDD
no x)
the normal DD is more fun for me because the objectiv are the fastest possible EGG / dread / morkite

i want to do it with 4 man and do sub 13 x)
Thx for posting my run CA haha
My first Deep Dive Elite guys, and I did it Solo (with Bosco)
Grats!
GG
Thank you! 

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 ๐
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
@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?
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
@bronze grove Iโm 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
EDD Solo speed run
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.
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?
Depends on the class, but ask in #deep-dive-discussion
Speedrunning would be so much more easier if flashlights were buffed ๐
why ?
don't speedrunners have the map layout basically memorized
and scout has flare gun
not like light is an issue during speedruns
There's no actual point to it, they spammed pretty much the same message in most of the channels, which is why they're dunced.
4 man DD with 2 randos
Whats the deep dive elite speed runs for this round?
not looking good atm, but we'll see
let me guess, mission 3 took the longest?
mission 3 took half the time xD
infact it was 25 mins for mission 3, so more than half xD
I'm looking to try and speed run the Normal DD as Scout, any loadout suggestions?
special powder I think could a good pick since there's only one boss so jumbo might fall off in usefulness for this DD
special powder because the stage 3 is vertical, onli 1 dread with m1000 , ifg
This was my first speed run attempt, not too shabby for Engi
thanks but i'll pass, i like my methods the way they are
First Time that i try deep dive alone and speedrunning. I will do it better!!!๐
@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. ๐
Excellent, Rock and Stone!
Attempting sub 15
Pog
@heavy obsidian congrats, that's a very nice time bro
what is that blue 2 at the top right of my screen
account level, you need 3 red (for a dwarf) level to gain 1 blue
ok
also how does the assigment board work
it says i have to go to assignment board to get a new gun
it just says this
you need to finish this assignment first, by playing the missions indicated on the map
ah ty ty
and after you finished it, you need to select the assignment for the gun
and do this assignment too
then you unlocked the gun
also is the engineer good ?
all classes are
im new and i see that they dont do that much dmg currently
they definitely do, just need enough upgrades, i assume you dont have them all since you're new
yeah you just need to keep playing and upgrading your guns
ok
Bosco?
Bosco's your APD that goes with you on Solo missions.
Put him to good use. And he'll do half the job for you
most of the work for you
Why do you discuss this in DD speedruns channel?! O_o
its not the speedrunning channel if there isn't an irrelevant discussion at least 3 times a week
Greenbeards rule tho
how are these scouts doing 15 minute runs? Like, how do they kill the dreadnought so fast, along with everything else?
Shotgun
@runic bear I post my best speedruns on my Youtube Channel if you wanna see how itโs done. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoLAvz2Ngi8E1tjPoI-Cavg
how are these scouts doing 15 minute runs? Like, how do they kill the dreadnought so fast, along with everything else?
@runic bear shoot it's azz lol
@supple thistle i discuss it here cause im new and i dont know the names of most things and you cant send pictures in drg chat or deep dive discussion
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...
what are these
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
im not promoted and now i know ๐
i just bought the 2gnd gun on gunner anyone know how i could farm my money back?
if you have quesiton ask on #drg-chat , if you have question + picture use #drg-gallery if you want to speedrun deep dive and ask about tips or post your run use #deep-dive-speedrunning
please respect the channel
and to farm the money : do mission with golden bug mutator/ gold rush or speedrun the deep dive
we fucking did it lads ! 
Alright dude, way to go!
now break 10 mins
sub 14 is doable, just not before the reset, video will be up in #drg-videos when I post the run !
My first try of the new EDD with a random group and it wasn't even a serious speedrun attempt.
level 1017
1758 hours played, good fer him
A friend of Karl's? ๐ฅ
What are the rewards of speedrunning a deep dive vs modifier chasing on the map?
Probably a lot better to do normal missions
Speedrunning a DD/edd is by far better than a normal mission in termes of XP and gold
Even more if u speedrun only the first stage
the secret of my 14:18 solo speedrun is now public !

Why are the deep dives such a joke now the elite is no longer elite. The regular deep dive could be completed without my monitor plugged in. WHERE IS THE CHALLENGE???
Hazard 5 is already too easy now the deep dives are like hazard 1 and hazard 2 its pitiful.
do it without resupplies then
Looks like you gotta start doing pacifist runs if it's too easy.
I dont think DRG is the place to look for over exaggerated challenge, put leaf lover on me if im dumbass
That's fine.
I hate the attitude some miners have that DRG is "baby game" and then they go on to be like "but when I want a CHALLENGE I play: <insert current game here>"
^
some of us just want to run around digging and burning down bugs
lol yeah, just give yourself a handicap if gigantic masses of angry bugs in a fucked up map aren't difficult enough for ya
like no Ocยดs at all, or no Mods for your Guns & no Bosco in a haz 5.
or Meeleing a Dreadnaught from Full health to commiting Toaster Bath.
Is there a default/mostly optimal scout build for solo EDD? If so, could someone share a link/screenshot?

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
haz5 2x exp
is this a speedrun? xd
in an experts opinion, no, it would have to be at least 30 minutes or under for it to be a speed run, and ZHOS did get like a 15 min. one before
it was a joke, its by no means a speedrun XD
Thats a long time for scoot
If I solo the elites I tend to be in the 50-60 range as engineer
but im slow as fuck
for speedrun time are between 14 - 28min if the map is good and easy objectiv or bad map and slow objectiv ( salvage)
@pulsar cypress This is not the place to post that kenny there are rules that forbid that
30:50 for this weeks regular deep dive
I found this weeks deep dive very quick too (similar time)
normal deep dive this week as very compact, so quickly doing them is fairly easy
27:22 solo engie, could be better
still need to get better at remembering the layout for nitra
there we go 24:12 solo engie :3
still room for improvement but it is a score
Jeez
@high sun how do you kill the dreads so quick m8?
ty gsg for the deep dives, very cool 
ah gj you did it
well, proxy mines and breach cutter spam eats through the dread
messed up the 3rd stage :<
4 minutes improvement from the first time you posted on the way to sub 20 ? don't know if it's possible with engi
not sure, I think I can go 22 or under
๐ฉ
anyone beat that?
I surrender
high score
We are not worthy
had fun tho
Why do you take a picture with your phone instead of taking a screenshot with your computer?
maybe he is to fast for the printscreen
Press f12, or shift windows s.
snipping tool is also your friend if you have a dual screen
I think my record for an EDD is 33 minutes but it was a while ago
best time on stream today, dunno if I'll go for sub 20
Hey everyone - do you speedrun for the levels tipically or just the fun of going as fast as you can ?
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
is there a tool for speedruns on DRG btw? like which deep dive and which times recorded etc and who did it etc
there is not tools to check, the dive X best time is that man with that loadout
but here you just do a time, and post here and everyweek you can see the fastest
on speedrun .com the category haven't been update since a long time and no deep dive category
@heavy obsidian what does your scout loadout look like for EDD?
wtf I share 5 servers with this guy
Fascinating read
@wanton star
Maybe its just copypasta he copied with the @ symbol
Well, that is half of the online mods pinged. I guess I could do the other 2.
is that bannable?
Prolly.
or just โhey donโt do thatโ-able
Nah, I pinged the other one earlier elsewhere.
what...
Text wall of weird stuff.
yeahh
And she arises as the quickest mod in the west
big sad
a speedrunning leaderboard would be nice but for some reason it was downvoted when someone suggested it in #suggestions
it would bring out cheaters very likely
well if someone cheats then he is not that good, kind of balances out the speedrun time
rip dancing time leaderboard
a speedrunning leaderboard would be nice but for some reason it was downvoted when someone suggested it in #suggestions
@vestal dragon im thinking of a more unofficial one that could be constructed here, with verifying the runs i.e. through video/trust
a google doc probably
sure but it's only 2 or 3 pictures posted each week here, you can just scroll up :P
easier to compile i guess, im just not a speedrunner ๐
well it is because there isnt much of interest, not that many people tend to enjoy pushing themself, even to haz5...
@desert fossil in perks I had: thorns, deep pockets, veteran depositor, Iron Will & Berzerk. For loadout: M1K 2-1-1-2-1 Minimal Clips & Boomstick 2โ1-3-1-1 Special Powder + Cryo Grenade & +5 mineral space on armor
Ping??
edd solo speed run
@oak siren oh. thx. ๐ here the video. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/618717990
but if you want english version edd speed run. here the zh0s stream link. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/615951238
I'm very proud of this gaming moment. I just got an achievement for completing a Deep Dive on Solo in under 45 minutes. Best yet, I was listening to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody right as this moment happened.

Tongue was out and I was head bangin' as the gates closed on the drop pod. Hell yeah!
my first Speedrun
Does anyone know if this is still an issue?
https://ghostshipgames.atlassian.net/browse/DRG-986
I" completed my first deep dive with scout, time around 48minutes. I tried again for the steam achievement and got 43. I looked in the statistics tab of the "Key Performance Indicators" panel, but it showed my best time for scout as 1h 31min (the sum of my two attempts' times)."
works fine for me
Did you guys do them both in the same session? I remember that bug happening to me a while ago but I don't know if it's still an issue
anyone did EDD speedrun this week?
under 30 easy
the real problem is : please mactera grabber get away and prey for no bulk
the rest is really easy
i think the best time can maybe go under 25 but with a team
"Speed Run" hey man no one posted their time on this week EDD yet, is sure is a pain in the ass with all the grabber and breeder
getting there
It was my first deep dive, so we'll call it a speed run
I am done with that EDD sub 30 was the objectiv
nice
it's easy to do better than the 29.20 but need luck to avoid bulk -_-
the fun part is when there are bulks on every stage
on the defense stage 2 the best part
what about both around the mules and on the defence?
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...
like after I repaired the 2nd mule
rip
LFG need an engi and gunner for casual deep dive
Curious about the loadout for doing EDD solo as a driller
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
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
cheers guys
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
@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
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)
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.
does elemenal insulation perk make a big diff?
On your mark get set go Deep Rock Galactic Style
https://youtu.be/mCe4uSyEcrA
@wind garden to much gold in the crater xD
On your mark get set go Deep Rock Galactic Style
you know guys that it's a deep dive speedrun channel not a gallery
lol they posted the same video
Lol I noticed ๐
He quoted it, that's why.
That a good run?
is it possible to solo edd sub 20 with a scout?
I've been working on it and it doesn't seem possible
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
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?
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
yeah must make use of them to get through fast
yep
it's not so easy to get it done quick if it's a bad RNG
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
is c4-ing and flaming strong enough to kill them quickly?
yes
really? any particular overclocks?
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
ice spear is the best only if there is a crit weakness
ice spear deal 880 damage
on the dreadnaught but
that's only when we hit his ass
yes
not so easy with a driller
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)
so flamethrower and epc seem to fit this stage
flamer always because grunt take +25% fire damage on glacial strata
yes, glacial strata makes it very hard to handle the swarm for a scout
epc stage 1 is not usefull / stage 2 does not add damage vs dread but good vs mactera / stage 3 not really usefull
I freeze them, and they defrost like in less than 2 seconds
take ifg it's better
you slow down with a power of 80% and they take 30% more damage
and if you speedrun the objectiv is dodge the wave just go for primary and secondary objectif
they generate around 10 out of think air
yes stage 2 x)
thin air* frustrating me
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
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
which perk do you use ?
is it only me feeling Steeve kinda weaker than before?
feels like he dies so easily even if he's a guard
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
alright I'm giving it a try with Beastmaster
don't think I'm gonna make it sub 20 though
maybe zh0s can?
don't know if he is gonna try the speedrun this week
I have to admit - I am incapable of soloing EDD sub 20 with a scout this week.
Iโd 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
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
And I go Light Weight on the pickaxe instead of the damage to use it to dig or kill ennemis more often, but thatโs just me I think it can work too
Oh understandable then x)
How do you handle Dreadnought howling and rotating at the same time Zh0s?
It really pisses me off - is it a bug or intended?
Ahhh the good olโ moonwalking Dreads
Iโm 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 wonโt move, then you go in but it is very annoying and thatโs what I do about it so far
sub 20 possible but grabber and jellies -_-
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?
the supply pod shortcut ?
yes
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
I understand- if that happens in low oxygen it would be pain in the ass
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
Maybe MULE ignores 90 degree pathways
hmm
so you mean, make an open tunnel via a resupply pod, and mine upper or lower end of it?
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
would be fantastic if it works
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
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 ๐
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 ? ๐
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
@unborn mirage I would advise talking to silaise if you want some tips and trick about speedrunning
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
ah thats a shame
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
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
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
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?
no record because noone posted a time yet
but this week EDD is boring to speedrun so low chance to see a " good" time
We had a friends that had to quit at 17h and we did 25min I just want to know what specialist can do
for dd or edd ?
dd
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
holy heck, the EDD icon looks pretty nice that way
My first attempt at solo deep dive/speedrunning, I brought dash + field medic by accident ๐
salvage mission takes up so much time, just waiting :/
i know this isnt a deepdive but i cant post it in dgr chat) so what the hell is error is it a bug
look in the pinned messages of the #drg-gallery channel
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?
ah right! Can you actually consistently do that without fall damage if you time it right?
mainly if you can get rocky mount it is easier
because you pickaxe ->power attack, to remove 2 spaces
oh thats clever
would the power attack AoE help as well or does that not affect mining
the pick upgrade i mean
@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
looks like a driller is the most appropriate for EDD solo speedrun this time
First completed attempt, plenty to improve.
Stage 1 especially. ๐คข
that was goddamn stressful, never doing it alone again lol
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.
my first run solo
I only tried EDD three times this week.This is my third grade.https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1qA411v7am
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
disband team or tell ur friend to do it
Are deep dives challenging to solo? (have yet to do them)
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
anyone ewant to deep dive?
My best time today on stream, sub 18 doable
sub 18 when 
soon
Aww I missed stream :(
VOD ๐
Ye but if I'm not chatting at you, how will you comically mispronounce my name?
Is it the same on Twitch ? I donโt remember seeing this one around 
@heavy obsidian @glacial raven @cloud elk

I will post the video later
I did this without beer
tql๏ผ Viod Master NB๏ผๆฐธ่ฟๆปด็ฅ๏ผ
Ok new objectif sub 17 
Pog @abstract valley
not sure if this counts
HE HE HE BOYYY
for the video
Sub 17 
Itโs not going to result in the scout being nerfed. Thatโs what the class is supposed to be good at; moving really quickly.
and the best time this week is driller for the moment so nerf driller ? speedrun time means nothing about the balance of the game
^
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
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.
I wouldn't say it's much more than the others
its 14.52% higher than gunner players
just because a class is more popular doesnt mean it is better
2682 player that need to be purified with c4 
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
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, donโt you?
if you have 4 kids and one of them is popular... :/
people can not 'use' your kid
This is not a good analogy
you should say one of the mare smart
what I question is the aspect of popularity, and that is an outside force
you still pay same love on each of tehm
