everyweek there is something new to speedrun
the problem is, you do 10 mins, and the next week mission duration are 20min
for me it can break the motivation since you need to wait good week to beat the WR
and people would try to do their best each week
i dont think it as beating the world record
the issue is about the global fastest not every week like you said it's a good thing
i think it would be more motivationg if there was more competition each week
thats an opinnion
for me it as been month of waiting just to do the sub 14 solo last week
why not just try to beat the current deep dive as fast as possible
I do that but like you said
little community = little number of speedrun
If the community is bigger it would solve that and people could share the strat they use
yeah exactly, i also understand your point
actually we are 4-5 to speedrun and some already stoped
damn
madel ( scout ) / zhos ( scout) / CA ( scout and long time not seen) / Silaise (driller) / igotsdatz ( driller, he was starting speedrunning few month ago) / Kidder ( forgot the classes)
and voidmaster ( scout)
and the last 3 posting her are madel/zhos/me
Feel like the speedruning community would be a hell of a lot bigger if we could replay previous dives. Perhaps some system to get the preferred drink buff as well so don't have to wait around praying for the optimal one. Keep special but make it discounted maybe? Plenty of times I've thought of doing an edd run but had pots of gold or tunnel rat and run out of time that day to play.
Oh, would you mind sharing? Still learning the subtleties.
change the hour of your pc
every 30 mins there is new beer
just find an hour where it's the beer you want
like 12/10 14:01 = a beer and everytime you reset to that time it's the same beer
Second try
next objectiv after sub 40 sub 30 ?
Ah ty. Noticed it will reroll sometimes by disbanding team but didn't think to mess with system time. Surprised it isn't causing a certificate error.
Man my first try was 42min

good job

Amm,what?
@lost wagon @turbid tapir I had someone today who had the same issue, I think it is due to you missing the texture for the refinery w/o a rocket. The guy who had the issue verified game files, found the missing file and it fixed it for him. Try verifying game files

Highest EDD kill count by far
Best time for Solo Doretta EDD
whats the current record? for the full edd
it's the one zhos posted
whats the current record? for the full edd
@carmine timber ph that's the whole EDD btw not just first mission haha first mission took like 15mins I think
w8 it's you from the stream too 
rate our ongoing speedrun (halp)
sub 2hour /20
1:16:16 let's go
Hate the liquid morkite that took us our time with the damn ghost haunting us
are you telling me that me and my mates 50 min stage 2 was fast?
idk how but i did my first deep dive in less than 20 minutes
could that be considered pog
he play scout, it's faster in general for the stage 2 and 3

yikes. that escort on stage 3 is gonna be big oof

lol black box for each DD stage
Elite S2 n S3 looks tough
shield disrupt drilldozer?!
First attempt at speedrunning a deep dive
how you got sub 30 on the elite one is beyond me
@lilac crow
We seem to have a lack of EDD speedruns
I have been playing this game for four hours and have already achieved the achievement that 1.9% of players have.
this is normal?
It just came out takes why
I have 1400 Hours and still haven't gotten that legitimately, my guy you got skills.
you're really good at kicking barrels my dwarf
\👍🏻
this week's normal dive is pretty quick for 3 black boxes
all the boxes are right on path pretty much
Not speedy, just kind of just proud of being able to do it by myself.
ask on #lfg-steam or #deep-dive-discussion
Except if your looking for a speedrun group

Hi Everyone, how does the speedrunning work in here. I was just posting on reddit how I was looking to see if I could organise some kind of DD race and I found this channel.
The best times are posted here when they are done on Deep Dives and Elite Deep Dives, solo it multiplayer
how difficult is it to run a deep dive solo
if you do haz5 all the time, it's almost the same difficulty, for normal Deep dive it's easy and a lot of nitra, for the elite deep dive it's like usual haz5 but with more nitra and if you fail, the map doesn't change so you know the map
ah gotcha
ima try to run it tonight so we’ll see how it goes
it’ll be my first deep dive so wish me luck
full edd hard to call it speedrun XD
https://tenor.com/view/deep-rock-galactic-drink-gif-15431926
@glacial raven -ba
apparently if you spam jump and e while holding w on a zipline you move on it very much faster, works up prolly not the greatest downhill tho...
my first elite run
this weeks edd is kinda long :<
anyone wanna run the EDD with me? I'm a scout main
better run, still long, too tiresome to try for better
better run, still long, too tiresome to try for better
@high sun Can I know your weapon details
stubby 2-2-2-2-2 super slim rounds, BC 1-1-1-2-3 light-weight cases, faster power attack charge, sentry 1-2-2-1, platform gun 2-1-2, proxy mines, armor 3-2-1-3.
perks resupplier,deep pockets, born ready, dash, heightened senses.
though it is more of a solo style play so take that in consideration
Question - why Engi for solo EDD?
its easy to defend with engi, and there is escort and a black box, plus engie is great for building a line up for the pipes

I haven't speedrun deep dives before but I wanna run this EDD 2 man with a scout/engi combo
any engineers here willing to show me the ropes?
i need someone to carry me in this edd xd

really bad time couldve been better if i didnt spend my time reviving and running away lol
Jeez, it's that bad? hmm maybe i should rethink my original plan, and go in a different way
i never revived so much or had people die this much, but then again theese were semi new bronzes, can't blame them
oh well then, that makes sense, i've carried before, so i know how it feels
i did the last mission by myself, repaired 3x2 x3 pipes kinda sad
yea not very fun if your whole team doesn't do their part in helping
they tried but they constantly died lol
see you in hell wouldve helped me so much, too bad none of them had it
well they just need to learn how the mission works by playing it more i suppose, more experience always makes people better with mission understanding and how to approach each and every one
yeah
im at a point where i dont think im learning anything anymore like i got a thousand hour on it lol
I'm actually enjoying the refining missions, i've been playing them for awhile now, it's a matter of balance, positioning, and timing, as well as communication
hopefully my EDD run goes smoother, but we'll see, sometimes we aren't as safe as we think
does anyone wanna speedrun the new DD with me? I'm a scout
Scout running the DD
@cobalt knoll this isn’t a place to look for a group for the EDD. Go in #lfg-steam please
@heavy obsidian where can I find other speedrunners to run the DD/EDD with? So far no luck on the LFG channel.

Stage 2 took me 10 extra minutes because molly got stuck lmao
EDD this week first try. Phew <_< @mellow cairn @naive sentinel @karmic comet
Very speedy


Fast as a sloth for this channel
I semi-pro tip: use the auto aim bullets for the minigun to deal with a lot of swarmers and naedocytes. Any bigger than grunts enemies will be have to be dealt with by someone else.
And blowthrough for additional damage
Anyone wanna speedrun the EDD with me? I'm a scout main
Will be free in an hour. Will hop in a pod then, ping me if ur interested
i got pots of gold here
@weak trellis please end me ;-; i was trying for 9 hours straight
@cold widget in the few moments you have before @lunar stone or @urban lark bans you, I recommend reading through #welcome-and-rules
why?

if it's your first time trying to speedrun it's YES if you discover the map, It's not bad if you already know the map
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/771781455910928387/781741944644567070/unknown.png
first attempt, only really tried to beat the time of some friends
Me and me gunner mate subbed 33, current standard deep dive
Bad time since stage 1 and 3 are not good

Too much nitra mined on stage 1, also got too cocky bros on that second stage. Could shave off some time there.
our run got carried by this engi that spam nuclear warhead at everything
When you think your solo 36 minutes is fast then check this channel
I already put this in the bug section but wanted to ask here as well. Has anyone else experienced a glitch where they did not receive the "Deep for Speed Achievement" while other teammates did?
Think of how I must feel. Accidentally clicked to here as someone that's barely completed some deep dives.
Hahaha I am weakling.
These people are straight up on crack
@timber holly How does your scout in that photo have a tattoo?
@golden wasp roughneck dlc
no beer
@cloud elk what's the fastest possible for this DD you think ? if you had all your best segment ?
@glacial raven I think sub 9 is the fastest.Stage 1 sub 2:20(Our fastest speed is 2:18)Stage 2 sub 4:10. Stage 3 sub 2:30.However, considering RNG, it is possible to increase the time of 10s ~ 20s.
Ok , it's almost the same time I got with kayabouilla , the RNG part is big with sandstorm and the dreadnought stage 1 that can make you lose the 10 to 20 sec
yes.If the stage 1 of dreadnought comes fast, it will save time.
for exemple with kaya we did a run gunner/scout we lost 12sec end of stage 2 to the time I did with zhos driller/scout but in the end we got the same time 9:32, it's mostly the dread stage 1
hhh, in the stage 1, driller can help dreamnight dig holes and make it come faster.But gunner does more damage to dreadnought.
yes
I tought engineer would be the strongest for dread, but If he is client and not host hyperpropelant lag out often and stage 3 you have almost no option to survivze
So each profession has its own characteristics.But I think the best combination is scout and driller.
Scout build with Supercharged Feed Mechanism mod, Expanded Ammo Bags mod, High Capacity Magazine mod, Improved Gas System mod, Stun mod, Double-Sized...
best stage 1 so far we have always sandstorm at the worst time so our run are killed
yes sub 9 was possible
My brother and I doing our first attempt at a speedrun
My first speedrun (I mean first week, 4th try in this week). Actually, I completed stage 2 in less than ten minutes. The terrible routine plan in stage 3 cost a lot of time.😩
for this week the stage 3 was bad for all the class unless you play scout
Last run in this week. I really try my best. Is it a acceptable result for speedrun(driller)?
as a driller yes it's good
Yep, One egg was too hard to get.
for scout best time was under 13, so having + 2 min with driller doesn't seams bad
Good to know this. Ty :p
sub 9 no beer

Any tips on how to move faster through a mission?
The Shift key
your a mad man
the lad
if you want to move faster, run + jump to avoid rock on the ground, or scout and grapple, dash perk is good to
How about resource prioritization
Nitra. All the Nitra.
Any tips on how to move faster through a mission?
@void vector
Sweet tooth and second wind as perks
Scout with battle frenzy on the deepcore gun
Here you have a speedy boi
Never get gold, dont get more nitra than you need, ignore hard to get minerals there is plenty extra on the map, if you have bosco get fast dig and never let him be idle, either ignore waves by calling the escape or be in a room where bosco can mine out objectives and nitra while you fight, mine oil in rows because the windup resets if you click off of the shale.
thank you, all!
can u elaborate on the "mine oil in rows" part?
Position yourself such that when you use the fuel cannister it'll break a chunk and keep going till you see through the other side
Repeat
Justa small efficiency boost but nice
You can also do that so you're almost flush with the wall until the rest of the shale falls
Then just hoover it up
why does the guy not deposit the nitra in the speedrun
if you speedrun you want to lose no time, depositing nitra = losing time if you don't do it on " dead time" moment when you can't lose time because the game block your speed like fighting the ommoran it's always the same time for the fight and depositing or not at that moment = no time lose
For fueling (even though I don’t understanding Extraction speedrunning) I would put Bosco on Fuel as soon as I can so minimal mining is done
but then why does he collect it if he is not going to deposit
Is there a timestamp you're referring to?
19:27 you can see 128 nitra 19:46 and 20:30 you collect nitra 21:00 you enter before depositing
and in the transition menu you can see 129 nitra
As silaise said, the time when molly is returning to the drop pod is dead time. I cannot leave until she gets there, but I am faster than her. So it's a good time to pick up nitra you may have missed. I get too cocky twice during the return though and barely make it back at the same time as her so I rush in to save time without depositing. The nitra is still in my inventory on the next stage so it isn't 'lost.' The next stage is escort which is 90% dead time so I have plenty of time to deposit then.
In general I often mine too much nitra outside of dead time as a habit from normal play, the EDD isn't really challenging from a combat perspective so as long as you're floating at least 80 nitra there is no need to mine any outside of dead time.
@cold widget
oh i see
i didnt know your inventory carries over
i stopped watching after that to do something
In normal missions minerals in your inventory are counted on escape (not secondary objectives though). In deep dives they remain in your inventory.

what was your strat? did you just dig to all objectives and ignore enemies?
pretty much, I post all my runs on mondays on YT
good shit dude, ill sub
oh wait lmao i just realized i was looking up speedruns after i saw your image and i subbed to someone i saw who had a 9:25 speedrun before i saw this message and it turns out it was you who i just subbed to hahaha
i feel like i worded it weird but basically i subbed to you 10 minutes ago before you told me you posted on yt lol
lmaooo
anyways sick content man i cant wait to see more
What do you run on your driller?
I watched that run live. Good stuff.
one shoting dreadnauts is fun!!

where do you find the time splits for speed runs? and how do I set it up?
In general we don't use time split since every stage = a time, the way zhos do is using Livesplit and press a button when he start and end the mission/stage

Definitely don't mine gold if speed matters. On elite dives I think you don't have the time to spend on mining gold though.

This EDD looks like a disaster. Mactera, Low O2, and 2 escorts, one with eggs.
I will say this, you're not going to want for Nitra on the EDD; we ended off with around 516 and that was being liberal with resupply pods.
with that much it doesn't seem like a bad idea to take an extra gunner or 2 to help the drilldozer. Seems a lot more combat focused
I hate this EDD already, and i haven't even attempted it yet
@plain cargo watch out for the acid spitters
no kidding
Least the DD seems simple enough
ditto on the large amount of nitra
u can grab like 200 nitra before starting doretta so maybe a helpful tip
at least in ours
Do any of the speed running techniques used in deep dives help increase efficiency of standard runs
Like if I watched and learned what people did in these speed runs could it help me with regular play as well
Yes it can help in regular run, if you play with friend you can make the drop pod fall on the mule instead of 200m away so you gain the 2-3min of molly going back, it's the most obvious technique from deep dive speedrun that can help, the other are most how you build your weapon ( for dread as an exemple) and how you travel in the cave are you fast to move and spot mineral or not
you can learn how easy the combat is in the base game and how to completely ignore it
The key to speedruns is running, with speed 
Failed the edd because we were too conservative using our nitra. We had tons but didn't fully restock and got overwhelmed. Top yourself off before each drilldozer phase in the last stage.

wow, both DDs have ghosts? that's gonna be rough
So how bad are the Dreadnoughts going to be in the EDD?
There is a chance for the normal Deep dive to be sub 10 again, we did 17 min when we discovered the map without trying to go fast
I want to say how much I appreciate @silver copper for posting the DD information every week. It's these little things that make this place awesome.
you mean how to control the drop pod landing ?
it's easy to explain how to do it
the drop pod doesn't want to spawn on molly so he spawn on the other side of the map, but if a player is on the other side the drop pod doesn't want to spawn on him and than he spawn on the other side of the map from the player position, so on molly
there is some easy mission to do it like egg hunt, when someone go on the spawn room and you call the drop pod on the main room
and sometime it doesn't work since player position need some minimal distance or max ( found about that part on deep dive)
and to do it easily, 3 dwarf on molly one on the other side, always go for 1 dwarf away
think you ment to say that the pod doesnt want to drop on the host. he's the one who needs to get distance to the zone you ultimately want the pod to be spawned at.
doesn't need to be the host
whats the current record for a normal deep dive?
Literally how
black magic probably
you just need good mission and map and then you find the path
I finally beat this EDD solo (my first ever EDD completed) took me 2:25:51, but idc, I finally beat it after like a dozen tries.
Narrator: and so, JC64730 and Bosco, would then conquer Hoxxes IV not with other drunken dwarves, but each other
Escort is the bane of my existence
Having a Haunted Dreadnaught fight in the first isn't too nice. Also the map this time feels super cramped and linear which is surprising for Dense Biozone.
The Lethal Escort is a right pain for sure.
I haven't even gotten to the Elimination with cave leeches but that's arguably the easiest of the 3 to get through.

So do speedruns not count then if you mod Doretta to move at a reasonable speed and have better Shale canisters, because that exists, and I was able to sub 35 the EDD last week.
??
if you change your games files to be faster you can call it a speedrun but it's with " cheat"
Yeah "cheat" called TAS amriright?
It makes her missions flow like the rest of them I consider it true doretta gameplay
you mean TAS as tools assisted speedrun ?
it doesn't matter what you consider being the true mission, speedrun here are done with vanilla game, if you want to speedrun with a mod that make the game feel better for you can there is no problem with it, but just notice people that it's not 100% vanilla
That's fair
I just hate how doretta kinda borks the speedrunning community
Devs laughed at us all in stream today ha
Hehe
doretta is not a problem for speedrunning on deep dive but it break the sub 20 we had often before
I mean, all you need is a driller team of drillers
Have someone drill ahead and Epc mine the oil shader while the others start doretta
Tricky but doable
Keeps down time low
I like to solo speedrun and solo escort is just harder
with a team it makes more sense for it to be managable
The only thing i hope is a good EDD for sub 10 my last 3 classes
madlad
Yeah, i miss having morkite and eggs with maybe salvage and dreadds
Escort is hogging up the rng seed
By the way edd is sub 25 this week with a team
This week looks so much nicer.
Finally managed my first solo EDD last night as Sticky Driller with a 1:23:58. Finished just 9 minutes before the weekly reset. Only took like 9 attempts to finish that Lethal Escort...
Congrats dude!
Is 33:51 a good time for a deep dive, it is our second time
it's not bad for a second time
dang 33:51. Might as well not resupply at all and get the Karl would be Proud achievement

dozer can't be a secondary, but imagine if it could 
you open up the core with the first dozer and it's just a button to call in another dozer
The dozer is fueled and ready to go
The dozer is fueled and ready to go
The dozer is fueled and ready to go
Escort 2 drills at once, ór repair a second drill near the hearthstone, where a SECOND hearthstone is
that actually sounds kinda interesting
They'll have seperate stops so a 2-stop will be a 4-stop
they also go in completely opposite directions
and still end up at heartstones right next to each other
First deep dive ever clocked in at 1.06.12 would have liked to keep it lower but not too shabby for a first time having an organized team could def bring that lower
escort missions make it hard to have a sub 45 min dive imo
it's easy to sub 45 with escort, the problem is when you get 2 of them during the same dive
2 escort duty in 1 dive?
I haven’t seen that
I’ve seen one in normal and one in elite in the same week ergo this week but never 2 dorettas in 1 dive
we had 2 doretta in the same dive 1 month ago
like... four weeks ago?

@heavy obsidian Pinging you just because I think you're probably the most popular speedrunner in the community? Do you have any tips for starting to speedrun deep dives? My friend and I are interested in doing duo speedruns.
anyone else experienced with this please also chime in
The biggest one, Just do it, the more runs you make the better you'll get
After you're both comfortable with the map, spend some out of mission to plan. If you end with tonnes of nitra, you can afford to farm that much less in the next run. Always be going towards an objective.
@rare bolt and what's the best combo in your opinion? Scout & Driller?
I’m glad that you’re giving the experience a shot it’s really fun and challenging. The thing is to go by levels, try to go sub 40 then sub 30 then 25 then 20 (depending on the weeks for the sub 20’s). The main thing to do is to map out the objective and find a good pathing between all of them that seems fitting and train on Deep Dives first before doing Elites since it’s the same but basically harder. Solo & Multiplayer is quite different (ex: drop pod location etc) but a thing that is common is knowing the objectives and how to do them in « order » but that’s in the pathing also
I should really do a YT video about this don’t I ?
Absolutely
yeah that'd be incredible
Scout driller seems like the best combo yeah
Zh0s do you ever watch the run footage just to plan for the next one?
Can you explain drop pod location mechanics?
Wym ?
I've never understood how that works
Watch an old run to think about routing
What you could have done different
Then go into the next one with that
I think I’ll explain in the video, not be that guy but just by text can be a little confusing
Sure dw 
How do you build for speedruns?
what's different in your building philosophy
do you want to prioritize damage? reload speed? ammo?
@rare bolt well since I do that stuff live I might just do an other pathing run. What I do do is watch other speedrunners’ runs to get the best
That’s what I ment by adapt to objectives: when there are dreads it’s full damage no question. But if not, it’s also depends on the modifiers etc but as Scout I build « speed » & effectiveness. I show my builds at the end of my runs if you want to know more
yeah I'll have to watch a few more of your runs! Does you driller partner have footage from their point of view?
Uhhh I don’t think he has a YT but maybe his Twitch VODS are still up ?
Madel’s video on BiliBili (Chinese YouTube basically) has multi view or at least each run per player but everything is in chinese so it won’t be easy to find but it’s good stuff too !
yeah I'm familiar w/ BiliBili, I'll check it out
if you want driller speedrun you can check on my youtube or VOD from my stream , the talk is in french but you can see some gameplay
thank you, I'm especially interested in the driller POV because that's probably what I'd play
I play driller mostly so it's what you are looking for ^^
I did the DD in 32 minutes and 8 seconds as driller!
EDD in 22:27 (4-man)
Class: Driller(me), All
Builds: Sticky Flame / EPC-TCF
Stage 1:
Gunner and Driller, drilled to the uplink, cleared the room EPC mined the minerals. Scout and Engi took Molly though the stage normally to get the extra morkite. Call the molly once they broken though the second room.
Stage 2:
Open all the paths as driller, Gunner gets the eggs top side. The rest of the team head though the open path (no dirt wall ) to begin clearing the room. Meet up with gunner on the far side of the room.
Stage 3:
Driller gets rocks, the rest of the team pop and fight the dread. IF the dread targets the Driller, just slow it with sticky flames / TCF to add damage, then continue mining. By the time the dread dies, you should have about 5 rocks.
All in all we weren't speedrunners, this was the second run. Was quite enjoyable to run this one quickly.
There should be a small reward for the best deep dive times, or a leaderboard with trophies or sth
will not work, what if the person with the cheats just passed?
True, thats always a problem
The time can be improved by almost 1 min, it was
average stage1
bad stage 2
good stage 3
Karl bless us with deep dives without escorts
first time fast☺️
After more try I did the sub 12 I wanted and her is the video

This time is the WR for solo run on normal Deep Dive even if they are not comparable between each other we never had a good map like this
The time can be improved by 20 sec stage 2, but I got a really bad RNG on that and this was the only run with such a good stage 1 and 3

my EDD,
at first there were 4 of us, we all died in the dumbest way at stage 1 and everyone leave out except me and the heavy, at the end of stage 2 the heavy left the group and I finished the work with Bosco ... (I was with a cryo cannon)
sorry for bad eng)
not a sub 20 today Sadge 
how
actually insane
wut?
speed
。
from A to D, skipping B and C
How the shit do you even get a FOUR DIGIT player level? How hard do ya gotta No-Life that?
maybe he wants to reach karl's five digit player level
If they've been playing since launch or close to it it's not that much if a no life
I play since 2018, in addition it is the game that I play most among the others of steam.
Stage 2 is a huge pain in the bumbum
karl's user level is not measured using numbers tho
karl is his name and user ranking
Karl literally lives on Hoxxes, we can only speculate about how high his player level has become after all this time
more like 0 cause xp only gained after coming back to station?
ok ngl I can't get close to this
Silaise is a madman, don't try to follow his exemple 
Can t get those times on any seeds he probably had a perfect one that week
if you want to see the map just scrool up until you find the video
that player level...
finally finished the EDD

Isso porque não iria fazer kkk
Record for today's stream, never doing that again.
What a legend. I need to watch that stream.
d
My first ever solo EDD run :) It's not exactly a speedrun, but I'm super proud I did it!
GG
nice
did you have a det spawn on the second stage?
I had one spawn on the third stage! I mostly ignored it.
second stage doesn't really give you that freedom 😆
I had one spawn the moment I started dori
I can imagine that 😂 Since I wasn't doing a speedrun I cleared the whole area ahead of time to get rid of approximately 2100 leeches and 18 spitballers
Accurate number of leeches.
lol, which perks did you run?
here's what i managed
Born Ready, Resupplier, Sweet Tooth, Steeve, Iron Will :D
oh nice
Same as ZH0S, right?
Steve seems to make the waves a bit more bearable.
Record beaten by a couple seconds, then 😄
yeah, just barely
i had a slower stage 1 and 2 than zh0s but much faster building the pipes stage 3
Bruh the pipes on stage 3 are such a nightmare
I think that the run that I posted was the 3rd time I did stage 3 in total
So sub 35 doable but oh well there’s so much waiting it doesn’t feel like speedrunning in a way, know what I mean ?
i had to practice the pipes a bit they're such a pain
cool
some dude on youtube does DDe in about 15 mins
Got a link for it?
I think you saw my YouTube video but it's not the same EDD 
The EDD you saw was called 'Darkest Hole' it was like a month ago before update 33, this weeks EDD is Fractured Ledge. They change every week 
oh yeh it was darkest hole https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3U5EfBwtlKo
Personal best time on the Darkest Hole Elite Deep Dive ! I hope you enjoy it, if you wanna see me perform these speedruns live, join me on Twitch.
Tell what you thought of it in the comment section ! Until then, take care bye !

sub 30 possible?
git
<@&296918282403840000> Same here
out of all the spams this was the cringiest
what's the general strategy for speed running edd?
yeah 😐
looks like play scout, kite grunts, snipe squishy threats, rush objectives, get just enough nitra for 1 or 2 drops
I’m working on a video that explains it all, but basically it’s objectives based yeah
well I keep getting absurdly rolled
Try this week’s regular Deep Dive, it’s a good one to start, try getting under 35 or 30 then lower 
My run is on YT if you want to take the same build & path
Where's the Scout solo for the barbarous Avalanche?
^
i did it but it's slower than driller, got 40mins
scout mobility just really doesn't help especially in stage 1 and 2
thanks
👁️
right
So wait, what are the stages again? I’m planning to hopefully solo speed run, and maybe get a decent time
Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 in that order.
My very first Solo speed run in DD, 34:09!
It's not much but I just did it for the achievement, It was really fun tho
poor Pedro, he always gets pinged

31:45 this EDD, scored by Hagaret, Roddars, who even and I. Edit: here goes, I've finally had some time to source it proper. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/927906833?t=2h11m14s
Pretty sure zh0s will find a way to solo it sub-25 anyway :)
got a sub 30 on the normal dd just doing it casually, this one is fast this week
Duo DD time today on stream, sub 10 in bound 
@heavy obsidian that sounds awesome, how about a video?
check the vod
where
on twitch
we got like a 4 minute 3rd stage
Can scout manage the edd this week? I imagine it'd be pretty fast if you can clear the third level
Eu
wa
Zhos dig it duo Scout / Driller I dunno about solo Scout though
We did the regular DD, I’m currently running this EDD solo scout for the sub 20 it’s very doable
Can't touch this, except these 9 times they did.
I do believe solo scout can do it.
If you (unlike myself) know what you're doing you can probably get it done pretty quick too.
Im pretty new and so were the guys I did it with but I did my first deep dive not long ago in like sub 20mins, (in total so all stages) not bragging just wondering how it takes some people nearly 2 hours 🤔
Must be thinking of an elite deep divw
I don’t think i’ve ever seen someone take 2 hours for a regular deep dice
i think my very first normal deep dive was like 30 mins
I’m with puck there, mine being around 30 mins
Pretty easy achievement to get the time under 45
Ahh I see, that makes more sense haha. I didn't see if it was an elite I just saw the time and thought surely Im not that good at this
ey we did it 
Nice!
how can you be lvl 1422 ahaha what did you do for that?
how do you grind that fast?
almost 3 year of playing this game ^^
Yes the game is fun to play with friends and solo + speedrun good deep dive
Silaise is a madman 
Is there a channel for grouping up with people to speedrun the deepdives?
#lfg-steam is the best thing, just make sure to clarify what you're looking for 🙂

@sullen apex what secondary doe

I was gonna ask if you could bring supercooling
but i realised i dont have hipster crafted
First attempt at a solo Deep Dive Speedrun
And my EDD time got smashed
if it makes you feel better
Almost the same time as you
Thanks mate
I'm slow as hell 😄
Same
this week kind of sucked for us
me and speights be waiting for a week without long missions and twins and generally unpleasant generation
we gonna get a sweet sub 20
we could try to sub 20 the DD
too hard to coordinate
specially when ideally if you wanna do it fast you have to do stuff that rips off half their health at once
though i was playing active stabilty jumbo scout so i could just spam arbalest mouth and get the hp down pretty fast
First EDD as scout and my first go at trying a speedrun :)
I use the term "speedrun" quite loosely here, ahaha
GG regardless
oh yeah, it looks like it was almost the same time as yours! thanks :p
Yup 😄
yo, tell me what you are using to screenshot. ill take you up on the deep-dive speedrun challenge
bit late but here, solo time on stream 
@native wyvern dude's got the speed man, gotta love it. @heavy obsidian Nice run!
Thx man, video should have been up but my net is acting up lately so it’ll up tomorrow
It's no 18 minute (how omg) but I decided to try my hand at speedrunning the DD before this one was over, and I'm quite happy with my sub 30 minute time! :)
this also ended up getting me the 45 minute Deep Dive achievement ahaha
Yo GG !
I got that achievement yesterday with my friend but he didn’t receive it. Must be a bug.

Finally posted a guide to speedrunning in #drg-videos !
amazing @heavy obsidian
is there a high-scores somewhere?
not much of fast but hell yeah 
well at least we have shields back
slowwww
is this a speedrun
I managed bellow 45 with randos, but also near an hour, so between that I would say for DD
u cant say it like that....depends on the missions. If you have doretta this stage only is 20 min for example
you're right, it highly depends on the missions of the DD or EDD
45min to 1h is a decent time if you're not speedrunning through it
managed a solo scout no bosco run, it felt like a third of the run was just holding E to build pipes...
nice, whats your setup?
important points are:
GK2 w/ max damage, bullets of mercy
boomstick w/ jumbo shells
IFGs, berserk, radius on power attack
thorns doesn't make it so you don't have to deal with them at all, it's mainly just to prevent that one swarmer you didn't see from chewing on you while you are focusing on something more pressing
that's my general scout build, all i changed for this run was take off iron will and replace it with beast master, because i wanted to get zero downs
oh hell yeah! i didn't even know ZH0S already did runs without bosco, this'll be fun to watch
thorns doesnt deal with swarmers and shockers
its just to try to reduce them
it is not a proper counter
yeah ofc
holy shit how many hours do you have in this game
1.8k
damn man that’s a lot of hours
I tried lul, died to some dumb stuff on stream but defs doable, GG’s dude 
hey! yeah i finished watching the archived stream, saw you died in unfortunate places
i avoided digging as much as i could because getting stuck in a dead end scared me so much
i did end up uploading my run for anyone who wants to see it (or don't if you don't want spoilers) https://youtu.be/sGh6zBDIZUk 🙂

nah it’s whatever

got mauled instantly as i set up doretta
maybe a 30-45 min run ruined
@lyric marlin im new to the game and watched some of the video, how were you able to get the pickaxe power up so often, what perk/overclock is that?
alr thx
@lyric marlin hi, nice solo EDD, which OC do you use on your GK2? AISE?
How does the MK2 compare?
bullets of mercy on gk2, not sure what you mean by mk2
M1K* I mixed up gk2 with m1k
ah i see, i just haven't gotten the hang of release to fire, believe it or not
i'm just more comfortable with gk2, and i can shoot swarmers/naedocytes without wasting ammo
I dont think a pure focus fire build is worth it
you can 2 shot hipfire regular grunts on h5 4man with the m1k
and 2 tapping is faster than 1 focus shot
it's still release to fire focus or not
yes
I rarely use it
I use focus fire when I'm popping sacs to get the most damage out of them or something, or when I know something is about to spawn/pop around the corner
focus fire costs as much as 2 regular shots and also does the same damage, so whats the point of using it in most cases?
it's just faster to do 2 regular shots
M1K feels rough to kill swarmers with
Yes
@haughty wedge
m1k is slightly more ammo efficient
m1k is slightly better at longer ranges
gk2 is way better for dealing with swarmers and shockers (which is important as scouts shotty isnt good at it)```
specially for a solo no bosco run M1K just feels like the worst choice out of all weapons in the game
zhukovs are ok at dealing with scrubmobs
cryo nades aswell
imo cryo nades should be used to deal with those little swarms when they mix with the main grunts
uhh I'd not choose my nades for swarmers out of all bugs
if you tell me macteras - yes, they're annoying as hell, and just getting rid of them is nice
if the swarmers overlap with the bulk of the grunts it's really good value
yeah cryo on a group of fliers is also rlly desirable
IFGs have too good synergy with BoM though
the dmg doesnt become THAT much better compared to just using the green oc's
it jumps a little bit but it's not permanent upkeep like the green oc's and also doesnt force you to give up cryo nades
Hey guys, guess this has been asked but what are the fastest ways to level?
by playing the game?
yeah yeah i know, but are there any like, faster kind of caves, like is egghunt better than for example dreadnaughts killing
is it worth doing a harder difficulty for more exp even tho it would take more time cuz it's more difficult
Escort and refinery give the least xp per minute. Honestly though if you enjoy the game and play the missions you find fun, you'll be promoted before you know it.
very true! just informing for when those last bits go to slow to do some fast leveling ;p
Point Extraction is very quick to do as scout
It's my go-to
Do it solo at H4 or H5 if you're good enough for max multiplier
Also look for double xp modifiers, most of the time there's atleast one mission that has that modifier available
He is asking how to do things quickly in a speedrunning channel.
Why do you have to give non-answers? It's fine if you want to play as casually as possible but don't act like it's the only valid playstyle.
Because I'm 90% snark and choosing which missions to play to level up faster is irrelevant to deep dive speedrunning.
I'd say the key is that it becomes a boost of DPS & 33% is a lot for the scout
if you give the gunner 33% more damage it's like oh well he's already OP, sort of 😛
the opportunity cost is not running another OC
I have no experience with those OC's, but according to meatshields dps calc it's not even the best dps setup
and the calc is already very generous by assuming the +30% dmg buff has 100% upkeep
well, yeah, the DPS isnt as great as pure RoF
but pure RoF means more ammo used to keep it up
electrifying reload could be viable for GK2 if you're looking purely at maxing out damage I guess 😛
shot one bullet to each grunt, reload then kite away, repeat a few times and everything is gone with technically less than a mag
oh yeah +dmg is more ammo efficient
anyways I cant see myself giving up cryo nades
and I prefer the m1k personally
cryo nades are nice but IFGs let you do many setups it's hard to pass them
I'd never run M1K on a solo match
why go through the troubles of creating a setup with ifgs when cryo just instagibs everything
cryo doesn't compound over time
cryo is good though, as long as you don't run pheros we're still friends 😛
I've never tried pheros before, I did read they got buffed
anyways I still like ifgs, big brain grenade
They were godlike, letting you aggro ENTIRE swarms. Then they got nerfed to the point of uselessness. Now they are alright but still on the weaker side compared to the other scout's nades. They could use a liiiiittle bit of help and they would be a good nade.
Part of the problem is they're next to IFG and Cryo. Those are some big brothers to look up to.
On the other hand, they're not as trash tier as engineer's plasma bursters
Which is just like the worst grenade in the game
Forgetting about HE grenades
You're talking mad shit for someone in Hyperpropellant range.
Seriously tho, I like to use it in a hyperpropellant build since it give the AOE that the overclock takes away to balance it out a bit, but that doesn't mean it has good damage against dreads or anything, it just deals with swarms well enough
^
plasma bursters are really not bad
dont throw them at yourself or others and they do great damage to swarms
yeah they do great group dmg when you use them how theyre intended
i personally use them often, you get a ton and theyre great on swarms
especially when im running a build lacking insane aoe or i dont plan on setting traps effectively
70 down speedrun, beat it 3rd attempt with random group, was intense , ROCK N STONE
Uh id have to look i don't have any oberclocks right now though
Shotgun breach cutter though
https://karl.gg/preview/2106 this is what i used although i made some changes that i thought were better mainly the increased pellets on the shotgun and took off turret whip cause i suck with it
Engineer build with Supercharged Feed Mechanism mod, Expanded Ammo Bags mod, High Capacity Magazine mod, Bigger Pellets mod, Turret Whip mod, Prolonge...
Never have I ever had my butt clench this much
My first solo EDD POGGERS
absolutely not speedrunned
I tried without hoping to succeed, as it was my first attempt to solo an EDD ever, but I made it somehow. Now I'm looking forward to be able to do that without the most OP build
Thank you @hushed yarrow for inspiring me to even try
GG 
what's the build 🧐
cryo vamp radiance driller 
first time finishing edd and first time playing solo, second attempt
second stage is so annoying
@inland oasis 👀 oh hey there, small world
sub 1 hour EDD solo scout w/ no bosco and no downs!
time to never touch this particular EDD ever again
HOW
What load out did you run for that edd?
This isn't real holy shit
What a maniac
not a speedrun, but by god i had to share. great group, fucking stressful 2 hours
@uncut vapor 😳
We should play together sometime! 🙂
uploaded the video, at the end i show the load out

I came here every Thursday ahahahahaha 
this seems semi-doable

not bad considering i carried my friend (:
Hiveguard? Time to perfect my scout
no beer scout solo
two hours building pipes
Was this for the achievement or are you just an aspiring dwarf amusement park engineer?
EDD solo speedrun-scout
30mins solo?
hack?
he is probly using a trainer
it popped up recently on Wemod
on thie lists so i dont think speed running is in a good spot until its fixed
i mean look at the last 3 entries all around 30min
deep rock needs anti cheat
impossible to do in 30 minutes
hack level in deep rock is so common
i cant tell if you guys are trolling or not
I mean I'd prefer video over just a screenshot (who's to say a buddy didn't leave mid mission), but I highly doubt people are cheating here on something that doesn't even get that much recognition.
worst that has
I played with a guy bigger than level 1000, and i played like a potato. And it was on that server
What server? The game is p2p. If you don't want to play with someone there's nothing stopping you from leaving their lobby. If people want to cheat and ruin their fun, let them. Level 1000 is also very achievable. That's roughly 2000 hours of playtime. There's plenty of people in this very discord that have achieved that.
Sadly 
My video is uploading, I didn't cheat.
i believe it, especially as scout lol
most likely the second, we wanted to see if it would work or not, in the end we did 3 hours, did not have time to finish the pipe and we were killed, we played at a difficulty level of 4
My new record. compared to Madel, it’s still far behind,I admire him
https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV16X4y137RS EDD SOLO SPEEDRUN-SCOUT(29:09)
also get rekt haters
"impossible to do in 30m"
your yell at the end destroyed my ears though 
Oh, I'm sorry, because I'm excited at the end.
I bet you were
Seems to be even a videos cannot prove that its an awesome performance. Most of the criers who pointing out it cannot be done in near 30 mins maybe the likewise haz4 rerally low players. I have a clan to play with and several of them can do that also ( surprisingly the scout is the best candidate for this). If anybody can do this combined with good teamplay and a good attitude it really gives a team an upper tier of playmaking Anyway this video is a proof that with scout it can be done. Congratulations Madel. Well Fought Warrior!
wow~thank you.👍
Im not that high skill player but if i post that the previous Elite deep dive how completed. I finished it in 42 min. Gunner ( i really addicted to gunner and engineer, i not feel scou my type.)
And M1000 ( the spacemarinegarandm1 XD ) is the hardest usable weapon in game. So GG
amazing 👏🏽
holy shit
m1000 is perfect for the tower obj, and keeping a safe distance from aoe mobs in general. A 2.5 cd on the grappling hook with a dwarf speed increase really makes the m1 garand shine.
you just never know if you are going to get the tower (Omen) so you cant prepare for that
Right, but I find it's a perfectly adequate tool. I even solo Haz 4 with it.
the machine pistols are what save you close range anyways
Second EDD (not a speedrun but we're still proud of it, I'm the gunner) Rock and Stone!
Never judge by the amount of downs 🙂
yeah ik
it is tight on ammo
very not rock and stone with couple of pubs
but its good with solo for edd this week
ammo is not a problem in solo, but a problem with teams, especially playing in Pubs, had terrible like bout 5-6 rounds with pubs, then im just like, fine i just go solo, took me 2 times to finish it solo.
surprisingly its easy but only solo
its a headache with teams, and especially when in asia servers, my god.
oh that's good to know i wasn't imagining that it was magically easier solo
Dreads are also major pushovers when you play solo
And 2 of the missions have dreads in them
stage 1 and 2 are normal edd levels,just the 3rd thats hard
well not hard,harder.Low oxygen mactera plague with loads of spawners and leeches everywhere
leeches I can deal with
it's the low oxygen thing that I feel I might struggle with
especially when dancing with dreadnoughts
In stage 3 we had enough nitra to drop ressuplies all around the dreadnaught room
used them for oxygen during the fight
ú
As machiavelli said, if I remember the room next to the dread is a nice kinda circle open room, we dropped 2 pods opposed from each other, and zip from top to bottom between them, easy rotation with plenty of 02
And if you can succeed to get molly to not move too much, you can put her in between

Best DD name 
what does it have to do with deep dive speedrunning ?
Oops, posted that in the completely wrong discord server, sorry.
this week, sub 30 or sub 25?
This is my 5th Elite Deep Dive Solo in a row! I think this is the first time I done it in less than an hour. I gotta say I've got Karl's blessing at the end 
EDD is definitely doable in sub 30, 25 might be pushing it
i dont think its doable sub 25. sub 25 is possible, you cant make any mistakes. literal any mistakes. like a machine
prob can try by driller, but for scout, sub 15 is almost impossible
EDD solo speedrun-scout(any%)
is any% to say you used beer ?
Is there a video for this one too? Liked the last one.
Asian gamers never stop amazing
nah, I accidentally discovered a bug in this month's streaming. This bug allows you to jump directly into the drop pod before molly arrives. Basically, you can save a lot of time waiting for molly to return. After I discovered this bug, I specifically studied how it works, and then I made a video to tell everyone about this bug.
I also jumped directly into the drop pod in this speedrun without waiting for molly.
I told Madel that he spent a day practicing how to quickly jump into drop pod LOL yesterday.
madel told me x)

yes but not fun to do defense x)
I wanted to shortcut and finish a salvage under 3min
i cant seem to hit it consistently first try any tips?
Can you also manipulate where you want the pod to land?
I've seen pods landing right next to the mule before
drop pod manipulation is in multi player and almost impossible in solo ( but has been done)
in solo game, i think that drop pod always land 100-200m from molly? prob drop pod has a chance land neer molly in 4-men game
@pale snow if you want to understand how it work Zh0s did a video that talk about speedrun strat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4uGS_TYU_A
Long awaited and finally arrived Speedrun Guide video. If you have any questions or comments on the elements told above, make sure to let me know in the comments of the video. Next video will be How to kill All the Dreads Fast and after that a perk Tier List review.
Some Seeds are just terrible for speedrunning (like this week) and are compose...
?
i literally wasn't trying to offend anyone but okay
lol
I could delete the message if you want @languid charm ?
Yes, it is pointless being needless provoking to strangers
okie dokie
@near patio @civic lake
What's the point actually of speedrunning deep dives? just for fun?
s' how it's always been
Just like the Olympic motto, higher, faster, stronger. To live in the world, apart from eating, drinking, and sleeping,there is no such thing as a ‘point’. We need to do what we like, don’t we?
hey can a reallly kind person dm me i need a favour pls dm i am desperate
