sick, i was about to copy your format now i don't have too lmao

[void forge]

Only one Drilldozer this week, Woot!

[weak nimbus]

i got hive and twins for dd

[chilly blade]

with stage 2 of DD being low oxy. does that mean solo with bosco would be better?

[chilly blade]

@silver copper So did you already run both by 10am?

[silver copper]

Actually, I haven't done either lol

All of this info was gained through opening the game and the kindness of this community!
Without all of you I wouldn't be done until sunday!

[hushed yarrow]

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO

[slate roost]

Hell yes!

[charred hornet]

I'm guessing most of that time is cos of the escort

[chilly blade]

is anyone insterested in helping me with the elite deep dive? engineer

NA

[north cape]

1nbOmeg2@rmA!&

[slate roost]

Curiously the Escort Duty part took me around 25 minutes

The Refinery one is the largest

Almost 40

[lusty vortex]

Any tips to do the speed running fast? I am having a bit of trouble trying to get regular deep dive under 45 minutes with randoms

[proud nova]

first tip when trying to speed run a DD : don't do it with randoms.

[lusty vortex]

That's...a fair point.

[proud nova]

Better do it solo or with people you know and can coordinate in vocals with.

Just get the necessary nitra. 80 or 160 should be enough usually (depends on the objectives though) for each stage. Rush the objectives and stop for nothing else. Only kill what you need to kill and what's in the way.

You kite everything else around

that's the very basic obviously.

Everything else come down to individual skills, preparation and strategy but there are a lot to say here and it varies from player to player ^^

[lusty vortex]

So what you are saying is, get enough nitra for a single resupply, kill only what is in your face, and just bum rush the objective

[proud nova]

yeah

if you want to be as fast as possible, it the best way to go at it

specific objectives can ask you to adapt your playstyle (thinking of escort typically) but that's about it.

[lusty vortex]

I mostly just want to get the achivement, so yeah fast as possible, that way I have as much leeway if something goes wrong

I was waiting until the deep dive didnt have a escort

I know those take forever to do. Same with the refinery

[sullen apex]

route your dive before attempting runs

try to find the best route and figure out your priorities

[peak shard]

Under 45 minutes for the achieve is easy if you just don't dawdle, for faster times you'll definitely want to optimize tho

[old crystal]

I got that on my first dive by pure accident

[haughty wedge]

45 minutes on a normal deep dive without dori should be pretty easy

I got it the first time I did an EDD with a full team

[polar palm]

the cannon sucks

[silent mountain]

I got 58 min on a normal haha

first time trying a speedrun

[peak shard]

If you mean autocannon then you're probably not using it well/have some wack upgrades going on or something

[old crystal]

Cannon is fun gun

[split plover]

Sub 45!

[old crystal]

Now do elite

[leaden jackal]

Cannon is ok but leadstorm goes BRRR

anyone know of any speedrun vods for this week?

Okay praise time. These guides are honestly amazing and have used them so often. Thank you so much!

[violet hatch]

What guides?

How are Scouts doing solo EDD? The blck box type stay in one area is the death of me always

[heavy obsidian]

If you struggle with Solo Black boxes/Uplinks/Fuel Cells, try using fear on M1000 Tier 5and blow through on Tier 4, it gives you a lot of breathing space in tight places and for bigger targets like praetorians or oppressors, use cryos to kill them instantly and they won't emit gaz to zone you out !

Had thought it wasn't for another week lol

[swift kraken]

escort in eDD :(

[lime osprey]

i thought we were pretty fast, molly got stuck on s3 and we only endured 2 swarms on PE i think. getting morkite in the first stage was a pain though

[lean sluice]

just finished it - Molly got stuck at stage 3 in ours as well. Between the refuel and ommoran. I wonder if this EDD always does it. Anyone else can confirm?

[lime osprey]

it got stuck for me on both my goes at s3, same spot. watched Usteppin's solo and same thing happened to him

[solar grove]

We’re you able to get her unstuck or did you just have to deal with it?

[sour epoch]

I got it unstuck

[spark aspen]

Are there any guides or tips for speedrunning elite deep dives? Is it solo/team or is it just the final time that matters? Are there any basic tips for starting out eg skip everything that isn't nitra or just use 2 gunners and drop a scout etc

I solo elite dive regularly but never thought about speedrunning it.

[foggy nest]

Hey,i'm new. Just downloaded the game today and loving it.

[hushed storm]

managed to solo the elite deep dive 1h 11m

[tidal vigil]

Usually it is scouts and drillers rather than gunners because moving through caves is faster saves more time than killing things faster.

[hidden wraith]

😁

What is the red rock on end screen? 🤔

[proud nova]

it's from a victory move

[hidden wraith]

Ahh

[spark aspen]

does anybody care about normal deep dive speedruns? i was just making a casual attempt this week, while I work out the best way to speedrun these things, and did it in 44:12 as a solo scout

is it all about the elite ones?

here's a screenshot anyway for what it's worth. morkite refining and mule repair seem like quite slow objectives tbh. I also did it blind, so no prior knowledge of locations of objectives

[mellow gulch]

nice try

[spark aspen]

did it much faster with driller right after actually. good fun

[hushed yarrow]

Cold first run

No beer at all

[loud pecan]

you know you can take screenshots, right? 😄

[spark aspen]

EDD solo driller (sticky flame crispr/subata)

speedrunning the elite deep dives solo is great fun, really getting into it. Might do it weekly if there's a bit of fun competition going :)

This week is a slow one I think, with refining and doretta missions but happy with that time and I only died to resupply pods landing on my head twice

[sullen apex]

the deep dive is decent the refinery has good spawns

the twins also have a great arena near it with unstables crystals to speed the fight up greatly

sub 24 is possible

10/10 team, made this dive ez pz

[spark aspen]

First blind attempt at DD

I mine too much nitra. I need to get into the speedrun mindset. Sometimes, I find myself just hanging around and forget I am supposed to be rushing.

[sonic chasm]

With Starship Troopers ELITE mod, 1st try

[proud nova]

@sonic chasm Well done but you might want to read that : #welcome-and-rules ^^

[spark aspen]

EDD solo driller 32:47 (no beer) - ice storm cryo/automatic fire subata/neurotoxin grenades

second stage is the hardest to rush I think. made a few mistakes. could be way faster but happy with this run.

[spark aspen]

I recorded this run. is it ok to post youtube links in here?

[spark aspen]

well here's the link. remove it if it's against the rules i guess? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qj0tviG-xn8

[rugged saffron]

The top says discuss and share your speed runs. So you should be fine.

[sullen apex]

id try scout for this EDD i managed a 33m blind run for my casual run through

this is definitely a scout favoured EDD

[spark aspen]

My scout would struggle with the big swarms on stage 2. I'm simply not good enough at scout yet

[sullen apex]

kite and use bosco rockets

[spark aspen]

can you record your runs? I'm keen to learn

[sullen apex]

the mules are spread far enough you can kite between them

im probably not doing any runs this week if i change my mind ill record it

if you have any questions i can still offer advice though

[spark aspen]

maybe I record a scout run and you tell me where im going wrong

my instinct is I have to clear the swarms. that instinct I get from "normal" play and it's hard to shake

i would struggle with the 2 black boxes as scout too I Think

but I will try

[sullen apex]

you have bosco there the rockets are like mini PGLs

[spark aspen]

such a long recharge on rockets though, from experience i run out and them im left stranded

[sullen apex]

if you think the pressure will be too much use beastmaster

[spark aspen]

im not saying youre wrong im saying I haven't got the knack for scout yet

but I will practice

[sullen apex]

i dont remember the terrain well but i saw in your driller run you took the tunnel and ran down

you probably are aware of the ledge climbing mechanics

it can be a little hard but if you want to improve times further id try to use it

[spark aspen]

not sure what you mean exactly

you mean to save yourself from a fall by grabbing a ledge?

I can't do that consistently enough. plus in that stage i wanted to start up high with that mule and the tunnel goes directly there. Again, I will practice though :)

[stone mural]

finaly

[mellow gulch]

EDD

not a speedrun

no overclocks

[summer token]

im confused, how are the primary and secondary objectives giving more exp if edd are seeded runs?

[opal dune]

it always give 20250 xp ?

[summer token]

no clue, hence why im asking, dd & edd are predetermined seeded runs, the objectives should be all the same no?

there are no minerals behind gold and nitra iirc, and it doesnt look like you can getting exp along with them

15k exp vs 20k

i just didnt know the primary and secondary objectives could give you more or less exp

if it is even able to

[opal dune]

well obviously the regular DD gives less XP than the Elite one

[summer token]

aaaah that is what im missing, didnt see dd vs edd

lmao

look at the other edd, all the exp is the same

we all good

[spark aspen]

I'd love it if more people recorded their speedruns. for those of us trying to improve it would be great!

[sullen apex]

you can find videos online from previous seeds

zh0s madel bewater and jadelife are some runners i see that get consistently good times and post videos

silaise is also good but he doesnt upload his runs often

[glacial raven]

One day my internet is gonna come back and I will be able to upload run

[spark aspen]

As a scout, if I play it safe, i have no trouble completing. if I rush rush rush, I die. Need to find that middle ground. practice I guess

Hell yeah this'll be an easy EDD. Sandblasted is always fun

[spark aspen]

EDD 45:39 blind driller run. refinery and escort are slow and that last stage is just made for scouts, apart from the awkward black box position. Keen to see how better players than me do.

[teal wigeon]

zoom fast

[spark aspen]

any other speedrunner want to team up for this weeks Deep dives (either). I prefer solo or duo. I'm EU if that helps. If so, send me a dm

[spark aspen]

2nd attempt. I got lost on stage 3 and forgot the layout of the map completely.

If in a duo, would it make sense to split the black box and refinery/morkite mining between the duo on this one? i.e. driller does black box while scout lays pipes/mines morkite?

[glacial raven]

it make sense, but remember that black box speed depend of the number of player, if it's 50% of the player the time it take is longer to finish, but for pipe it's longer to put them + build then solo BB, for morkite it can make sense only if you need 1 last deposit or if the scout can finish fast enough to join you

[spark aspen]

driller can handle a 2x slower black box I think. If I ever find a good scout to duo with I'd like to find out. My scout play is fine, but not quite the A+ you need for speedruns

[jovial elk]

more like slowrunning xD

in my defence, i was building a 2 minute long pipeline for the steam challenge, the result is this

[lone moss]

Rollercoaster is such a fun achiement to get

[pearl heron]

@jovial elk How? I built a pipeline through all cave. Only 82 seconds

[summer token]

keep building

or abuse the fact that you slow down when going up

which counts as seconds grinding on the pipe

you dont even have to be a sharp angle

any pipe that isnt flat parallel to the ground counts as an incline

you will slow down with it

dig straight to the bottom of the map

the proceed to build a pipe back snaking around

[leaden brook]

37min blind DD

[jovial elk]

You have to really make some redundancies, literally making unnecessary loops and extending the pipes all over the place

It was a BIG mess of pipes when I was done

And it took me almost 2 hours to build the entire thing

[spark aspen]

Please tell me you recorded it!

[winged mesa]

i did but i can get a better time for sure, sub 32 at least

[spark aspen]

where did you lose time? For me, stage 3 is slow. There's enough morkite in the final room, but I keep getting lost as it's in an awkward place. I kind of ran out of patience for doing refinery then escort though :/

would love to see your run, even if you think it can be improved. Can you share?

[winged mesa]

still made mistakes but i think i'll leave it at this

i'll upload the run

i'd lost time before cos of some build optimizations i could do and avoidable deaths, and dark morkite saves a lot of time stage 3

[spark aspen]

ah yea if i had dark morkite, i woulda saved loads of time stage 3as no need to go to the final room

is it basically understood that if morkite mining is in the deep dive, you always re-roll for dark morkite beer? I've been running without any beer. Not sure of the "rules"

[winged mesa]

yeah dark morkite just helps a lot. here's my run if you're interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55H2MlcVU5I

[spark aspen]

holy shit I didn't know you could build up on the refinery, I was waiting to see you pickaxe through the wall :)

[rugged saffron]

this guy's simply a gamer

you can also build pipes on top of pipes

to just spiral up on each other

can even do it on resupply pods

Took me time because I used Gunner so I could go slowly and calm, but I managed to do this week Elite Deep Dive in the first try!

[spark aspen]

2ND attempt

[glacial raven]

what are your times per stage ?

[spark aspen]

3:40, 18:22, 25:44

3rd stage can be much faster for sure but i think for 2nd stage thats kind of as fast as you can do the escort. I refueled without interruption, and started dozer right away each time.

1st stage maybe faster, but not by me :)

want to try to duo it? :)

Your map looks more complicated. If your map is the same as mine, you can run faster

What are the difference with yours ?

Most of the target positions in the second phase of the mission are different. My eggs are at the first and the other at the end, and the positions of the morkite are also different.

Both eggs are in a large space under the spawn point, and there is no need to dig morkite to the end space ，The front is enough 250

[glacial raven]

Ok

[spark aspen]

you can get a different seed?

[mellow gulch]

This may be a bug in map generation

I have encountered three times in total

But I don’t know if I am a majority or a minority

[glacial raven]

it happen more often then we think, for this week all my friends have the same seed as be water, only 1 as the other

but the escape menu is the exact same

[spark aspen]

can you always clip into drop pod from mule hole?

[glacial raven]

yes

but it's supposed to be fixed

in 2 hotfix x)

[spark aspen]

im never going to beat some of these times, but im having fun :)

[glacial raven]

just do your try and don't try to clip inside the drop pod it's not a good thing to do ( in my opinion)

[mellow gulch]

I agree. it is also important to control the position of the mule during the last call to the drop

[vernal fog]

Are there multiplayer speedruns?

[opal dune]

I don't see any rules against those

[proud nova]

Yeah there is. Silaise and Zh0s tend to speedrun together from time to time for exemple.

[glacial raven]

the problem with team speedrun :
you need to be from the same region for ping issue
few people like to speedrun

[inland apex]

Zh0s was defeated by amogus..

[spark aspen]

i still want to find a person to team up with for speedruns. I am in the UK and prefer driller for speedruns. Is there a good scout out there up for a duo?

[glacial raven]

I am up when you are free

[spiral atlas]

Sweet, more cores for greenbeard me

[candid ocean]

EDD is just a glorified egg hunt with extra baggage this week

[harsh compass]

stage 2 has a bet-c if youre not ready i guess

but my team of randoms handled it very well

[winged bluff]

@winter mauve

[whole niche]

What's the record for elite deep dive?

[cold widget]

It depends on the objectives of the EDD. EDDs with objectives like escort and refinery take time to finish whereas EDD with objective like morkite, egg collection, or point extraction can be rushed through.

And since no 2 EDDs are the same, we can't have a record for the fastest EDD. (Although there can be a record for each week's EDD).

[whole niche]

awe darn. I'd love to try and accomplish a speedrun

thing week's elite deep dive was super hard though I had to solo fight one of those robot twins

WHILE protecting the drilldozer

[tribal charm]

lol we got bet-c on the second stage. that bet-c fight had higher tension than the entire first stage

[proud nova]

Had it too, I think most of my deaths come from that fight

Someone triggered it by accident when we were all low in life so it was a messy fight

[tribal charm]

yeah we had 3 down during the fight, engi had a lag spike, i used my insta res, driller used his iron will

[mellow gulch]

with dark morkite

[spiral atlas]

Finishing these faster than I finish regular missions

[stoic nimbus]

I died too many times

[whole niche]

D:

I thought I did super well

[glad kraken]

Hi!

I'm kinda new to deep dives, made a couple with one partner

I'm gonna read this for advice to make it solo

[vernal fog]

Important part is really understanding how to use Bosco, and probably understanding the map beforehand if you want to go fast

Bosco rockets can be used to cover some classes weaknesses, like cold rockets for swarmers and mactera, but that means you have to kill the other types of frozen enemies yourself

Since the damage no longer oneshots grunts

[glad kraken]

Understood!

I'm getting the last levels for my driller second promotion, i tend to use cryo cannon

Any advice there?

[spark aspen]

my preferred build with driller is sticky fuel overclock for crowd control and damage over time, neurotoxin for the same, and subata automatic fire for burst. If I'm facing dreadnaughts I go ice storm cryo otherwise it takes too long to kill them.

[old crystal]

Flying nightmare EPC pairs beautifully with cryo

[spark aspen]

yea I've tried that, it's ok. The radius is very low. I still went back to subata even with cryo :)

heavy hitter can sort of work too, although I always end up missing my little subata

[old crystal]

Overcharger is great with flying nightmare, as it adds to the radius

[spark aspen]

yea but only a few shots, I found the ammo a problem personally

besides, you need burst damage rather than another aoe but that's just my own opinion

if im using cryo, im using ice storm, and cryo alone clears up big groups with that overclock. subata for bursting oppressors/mactera

am still experimenting though

[old crystal]

C4 is the burst ;)

[spark aspen]

yea but only 2 of them with damage build

im always trying to go as far as poss without a resupply

[old crystal]

Fair

Normally I try and let my gunner do the bursting for me

[spark aspen]

oh this is in the context of a speedrun

solo

[old crystal]

Fair nuff

Kinda skimmed over that

[graceful whale]

[graceful whale]

2nd stage for edd is a bitch

[proud nova]

No escort, finally

[slate roost]

barrypickles was right about the speedrun of escort the day of a deep-dive xDDDD

now is speedrun to celebrate the lack of escort

[spark aspen]

huh?

[slate roost]

Let's say that everytime escort mission was in the weekly elite deep dive, people panic

[spark aspen]

ahhh yea :)

"speedrun to complain"

[slate roost]

Hahaha

[spark aspen]

speedrun to either complain if escort, or say " no escort". cce wins this week with a time of 55 minutes :)

I don't mind escorts, it's predictable at least!

in fact, I actually like escort missions in "normal" play. It feels like a real adventure

[visual isle]

whats the best way and fastest way to kill a dreadnaught?

[cold widget]

Drop a stalactite on it.

Or blow up a bulk next to it.

[spark aspen]

which class? actually it doesnt matter - lead storm oc gunner

and somebody else with the aggro

in context of speedrun, watch some of @heavy obsidian @glacial raven @winged mesa or @mellow gulch videos they have posted in this channel

[graceful whale]

cause did it with randoms and you know where it goes from there

did it on solo and it was fine

[mellow gulch]

I'm not very satisfied. If it's perfect, it can be as fast as half a minute

[glacial raven]

did you use beer/drop pod glitch or is this really this fast this week ?

[spiral atlas]

What’s that glitch

[glacial raven]

go inside the drop pod before molly come

[spark aspen]

Woah! good work Be Water!

to be honest, I am in awe of you guys doing these great speedruns and it actually puts me off trying, but I'll get over it and just do my best :)

[grave oasis]

Hey Be Water, a little off-topic but I saw you with a rainbow beard in a previous picture. Is that through mods?

[proud nova]

it is through mods

[mellow gulch]

After this time, maybe I will rarely run until u35 is released

[steep patrol]

what loadout are you using here?

[buoyant olive]

looking for a elite deep dive run

[proud nova]

try #lfg-steam

[glacial raven]

Not satisfied with the time but twins rng is the worst thing to fight

[proud nova]

still a pretty good time, congrats my friend 😄

[spark aspen]

^ after this, Silaise took me on a duo attempt and we got a slower time, but it was still good fun, and I learnt a lot

Like don't throw 3 cryo grenades which freeze both you and Silaise when fighting a drednaught :)

[proud nova]

lmao

F

[mellow gulch]

twins are too difficult to deal with,

[glacial raven]

They can go on the ground and be easy or dig every 5 sec and go on the ceiling that's the worst

[spark aspen]

sometimes they can just go invincible, or disappear for fun

[fossil ruin]

Anyone do a run of the standard Deep Dive? Seems like it would actually take longer than the EDD because of the multiple Black Boxes

[mellow gulch]

I estimate it will take 20+ minutes

[fossil ruin]

Yeah it took me 24 minutes; but this was also my first ever attempt at doing a speed run so I imagine that can be cut down by quite a bit

[waxen pecan]

So would you think 2, 2, 3, 1 (or 2), 3 Upgrades for scouts machine gun is best for the EDD i'm stuck on the armour breaking or weakpoint bonus for scouts machine gun for the EDD

[old crystal]

What OC?

[bronze snow]

Wow! I still have a hard time with the EDD. Did you just run through grabbing all the stuff you needed, ignoring everything else? I'd love to see a video if you've got one!

[spark aspen]

yea, this channel is for speedrunning, so we're rushing through as fast as we can.

[mellow gulch]

Both are OK, If your marksmanship is strong enough, choose 1

[glacial raven]

I didn't record it because it was not good enough but if you want in #drg-videos GUANYIBEI did the same time as a driller

[bronze snow]

I was more asking for strategy here as I find it unbelievable that someone could go through it so quickly 🙂

[bronze snow]

Thanks! I'll check it out 👍

[spark aspen]

there's plenty of videos search silaise or zh0s or masala on youtube or find the links to bilibili.com in #drg-videos from Be Water and GUANYIBEI ...

some people use macros and glitches, some people don't. Everybody just ignores everything except the objectives and the bare minimum nitra collection.

I am still quite new to it but it seems most of the hard work is in working out the best routes, and then executing it. There's a fair amount of rng but sometimes it all comes together and you get a god run

This is a good video which shows both pov in a duo speedrun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9qstQT0NDg

(yes that's 8 minutes 24 seconds)

oh also, zh0s made a guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4uGS_TYU_A

[bronze snow]

Awesome, thanks!

[heavy talon]

No mods, I did it on a stream too if anyone is interested in seeing how it went.

I know its not very fast at all but I got the deep for speed thing so thats nice

[spark aspen]

nice job

[trim grotto]

A good run

[strange nest]

Came back from a trip and knocked out all the overclocks before they reset, so decided to speedrun the DD. Not the fastest, but good for 3 attempts! Fastest yet for both of us.

[slate roost]

Wow we've got a new candidate then!

[swift kraken]

escort still in normal dd tho

[hasty warren]

I posted a guide in deep-dive-discussion channel to find enough to finish

May not have found every piece but enough is there 🙂

[graceful whale]

normal dd is aight though no problemo, too ez

[full mica]

🤌

[spark aspen]

This week seems very hard. There seems like way more enemies than other weeks. Add to that elite threat in stage 3, I spend a lot of time fighting just to thin the swarm so i can stay alive. I don't think I can get a better time than this myself.

(Dark morkite beer)

stage 1 is very simple, stage 2 is kind of a maze and quite vertical which makes it hard to get around quick. stage 3 everything is close but theres a bet-c that I don't think you can avoid unless you put bosco in a corner. I just decided to fight it (but typically don't have time to repair it - not even sure if that's ever a good idea in a speedrun)

[compact grail]

[spark aspen]

did you avoid bet-c on stage 3 or fight it?

[compact grail]

I think it's faster if you defeat her before

there is a possibility for Bosco to activate

[spark aspen]

yea i fought it too, seems you cant avoid it anyway

[full mica]

[unreal bear]

Yo, any pro speed runners want to carry me so I can get an achivment?

[weary patio]

Is it deep dive in 45 minutes?

[spark aspen]

ahh that's a nice achievement to get naturally tbh

[hollow viper]

I can help

[spiral atlas]

Fairly easy achievement tbh

You can do a deep dive a second time so you know what you’re doing if you want

[split crescent]

whats the speed runners opinion on this weeks DD

[magic vigil]

how do people do it in 15 minutes i wanna learn how

[magic vigil]

well i dont know if this one can be done in 15 minutes but i've seen people do previous ones in 15 minutes so i wanna know what the trick is

[glacial raven]

Know the map, do a routing, do only what's needes and good luck ( good map and objectiv is needes for sub 15)

[heavy obsidian]

sub 15 are very rare, they can only be done if first of all the map allows it, then you need to be able to get consistent sub 20's etc but it's only a matter of practising the game and the map

[spark aspen]

I'm not as experienced as others but I would say knowing your route is the most important. There's luck/rng involved too.

watch some videos posted here too, you see that we only do objectives fast, and things like mining nitra happens only when required, or during downtime waiting for that godam molly

[wheat dagger]

Yo Im new to deep dives, are the elite ones the exact same for everyone? It seems like y’all are talking as if so

[spark aspen]

The things that are randomised are: the enemy spawn pool (so you don't always get bulk detonators or acid spitters, for example), and the drop pod landing area (although that can actually be influenced based on where you and molly are when you call it). Maybe some other things too that I forget. Otherwise it's the same.

Other rng factors are bosco being 500m away when you get grabbed by a leech, and molly deciding to sometimes take strange routes

[tiny rune]

saying bosco being away from you is RNG isn’t true, you can call him with X

Molly doing strange paths is normal DRG gameplay

[spark aspen]

You think I don't know how to press x? sometimes that guy runs off chasing something on the other side of the room. Anyway I was messing around

oh boy edd stage 3 is gonna suck

[spark aspen]

I can confirm that it does not

all aquarqs very close, drednaught egg right by the platform.

[swift kraken]

just a matter of teamwork then

[spark aspen]

nice big open room

did it just now with a scout and gunner

[swift kraken]

its mostly just the time window im concerned about, haz 5.5 scales up pretty quickly on point extraction

[graceful whale]

yooo again, another edd without a escort, lets a goo, but then aquarq mission, welp this is gonna be hard af

[spark aspen]

i think a scout or driller should be able to get all the aquarqs and throw them down to the platform in easy 5 minutes without interruptions

[swift kraken]

that is if they have brains

[slate roost]

And we've got the winner on the Escort Duty mention speedrun

[frosty cove]

Hi guys :) , im looking for answer for a long time
How to speedrun experience?
I already looking from various site, youtubers, searching it here
Everyone seems have different opinions
(Double exp, yes, but double exp missions not always show up)
Someone say point extraction, morkite, killing dreadnought
I not really sure
Need answer

[frosty cove]

Thx man 👍

[spark aspen]

This was a good run, apart from mistakes in drednaught fight. could be 3 minutes faster if I didnt mess up.

I wish I Recorded this run. I stopped recording in general because I felt anxiety that it was being recorded. Like I Felt like if I made mistakes, I had to stop the run.

But in reality, even the best runs contain some "mistakes".

Rocky mountain beer, hipster mk1000, jumbo shells shotgun, cryo grenade

will try it next as driller, which might actually be faster

[cobalt knoll]

I'm a scout main, is there anyone willing to speedrun this week's EDD with me?

[full mica]

11 pack

[spiral atlas]

What am I supposed to be seeing?

[leaden brook]

I ask myself that with half the things posted in gallery lol

[deft nexus]

peyserin balasi

[bronze snow]

I asked my friend what they were saying and I guess they were just talking about how imbalanced the game is that Steeve was wrecking that Praetorian from behind or something...and of course swearing a lot, haha!

He doesn't play the game, though, so hopefully that's right, haha

Oh, and I guess that he couldn't find the detonator. Killed a lot, but still didn't know where it was. Something like that

[spiral atlas]

Interesting

[split cedar]

is there any way to check if the run was true solo or just solo with bosco? besides watching the recording

IIRC there are no indicators in the score screen showing if you used bosco or not

[glacial raven]

there is no way to check other than with recording, but why would you speedrun deep dive without bosco ?

[split cedar]

Me and my friends make our own challenges in Vermintide and Deep Rock Galactic. In vermintide you can easily show that you played without bots or your bots were dead all the time, but in DRG we have to show each other recordings, kinda annoying

[glacial raven]

can't you trust your friends ?

[split cedar]

Well, I can just tell them that I soloed an EDD without bosco and without using any of my weapons, but it doesnt make it any more believable. Trust is not an issue here. We challenge each other to get better at the game, and to feel that you need to get better, you need stronger proofs of someone's skill than just trust. Also recordings help us to notice each other's mistakes

[lyric marlin]

if you're really this concerned about straight up lying then there's nothing you can do

i could create a mod that reduces spawn rates slightly and there would be no way to know even with a recording, could just toss it up to good RNG

coincidentally i came here to post a true solo of this weeks EDD

think i spent 25 minutes on the last stage, haz 5.5 point extraction was getting spicy 😛

[mellow gulch]

Point extraction and Dreadnought in the third stage of EDD are the tasks that most test a team.

[bronze snow]

The way most of the aquarks were in two caves nearby made it pretty easy I thought

You could just mine them all real quickly then GTFO

[exotic tusk]

agreed, honestly I had more problems on 2 successful runs with elites on 2 mission than dread and aquarks on 3rd

[bronze snow]

Same. I thought that was the hardest part. That and calling Molly back at the wrong time and sprinting back to the drop pod with low O2 ☹️

The first time I did it, we had sooo many menaces and healers it was ridiculous. Second time was pretty straightforward. Would have been clean but I double tapped on a zip line and fell to my death 😂

[spark aspen]

I wondered why this hadn't happened this week. :)

[glacial raven]

with dark morkite

[rare surge]

Solo deep dives are best with scouts?

[stoic plaza]

plongee abyssale

[spark aspen]

or drillers usually

wp silaise

[spark aspen]

It's in French, because Silaise speaks French. French is a language that a lot of people speak around the world.

[mighty adder]

For speed definetly scout

I could see certain situations where it calls for driller though

[glacial raven]

speed driller is always fastest for speedrun deep dive, unless bad map

[short marlin]

am I allowed to ask what build your running in this channel?

[graceful whale]

Scouts can do solo but depending on which deep dive, mostly i would never do it when there is a bad warning on either aquarq, oil refinery or even escort.

the kings of solo deep dive in my opinion is Engi or even driller.

since i use certain loadout for either those class.

[sterile orbit]

Ahh, so close to getting the cheevo

[glacial raven]

1-1-2-1-2 cryocanon with icestorm
2-1-2-2-2 epc with persistant plasma

[spark aspen]

this channel is about speedrunning specifically and I'm not 100% sure anything is faster than driller or scout for that. There will likely be exceptions depending on the layout of the deep dives though.

[spark aspen]

and big clouds of urine gas

[mellow gulch]

dark morkite

My regular speedrun build

[cold widget]

That's amazing dude. Specially considering that every solo scout in the DD discussion channel has been complaining about the swarmers making it a hell for them.

[mellow gulch]

Swarming is really difficult for solo scout，shotgun with compact shells or cryo grenade may be a good choice

After all, the single-person supply is completely sufficient

[sharp glade]

I hate fighting dreads solo

It's just annoying

[candid charm]

What skin are you using on the space garand

[short marlin]

That's neon band

[graceful whale]

You can speedrun with them depend what build your going and also strategically plan your deep dive since most of the edd and dd have the same cave layout but then you have rng as well.

Yes you are right, driller can be slow and not to be fit for a speedrun but if you are willingly to painstakingly do deep dive about more than 50 times, you get the hang of the layout and recognize where the minerals are.

[graceful whale]

Sorry I should word it better, each week has different cave layouts but after you finish the dd or an edd, you will most likely know what is the layout of the cave already and strategize your plan from there.

Put it simply with few words, all characters can equally speedrun, its just how you strategically plan it and how efficient you can finish it in time.

[candid charm]

Oof

[mellow gulch]

I'm not sure if you are talking about guns or characters

[candid charm]

Gun

[candid charm]

No I saw that

Are they exclusive, dlc or unlockable

[graceful whale]

Unlockables

mind you, this combo of paint job + framework is not normally possible in the base game

How do you throw the aquarqs so far? at 07:30

is it momentum from the grappling hook?

Posting a run because I didn't see one posted this week.

[glacial raven]

regular DD with dark morkite

sub 17 is possible with a better rng

[shrewd elbow]

First deep dive run ever and got it under 45, if you guys are here ty for the run!

[thorny orbit]

One time I got a 4 egg hunt plus cargo crate and 3 enor pearls in 4:21 mins playing solo scout.

[thorny orbit]

I couldn't think of anywhere else to say it because this channel has to do with speed running 🤷‍♂️

Ill delete if you want

[uneven wolf]

If it's not a deep dive, then maybe #drg-chat

[mighty adder]

Milli got us this time! 25:32

[verbal axle]

My first ever Deep Dive. I wasn't trying to speedrun (I mine every vein of mineral and pet every Loot Bug I see, and those things take time), but it is technically my record. I had to face 2 Bulk Detonators on the last one, but it was overall easy and fun.

[burnt burrow]

Are there guides on how to play optimally for elite deep dives?

[glacial raven]

how to "speedrun" yes there is one by zh0s but how to play optimally you will need to check on youtube if there is one

[burnt burrow]

I figure speedrunning is playing optimally

Thanks I'll go check the guide out, is it on steam guides?

[glacial raven]

It's on youtube check zh0s guide to speedrun

If you want to see something like just pure gameplay of people doing dives and stuff, axiskronos and usteppin have a lot of videos of them just doing the dives on youtube. Sometimes repetition of ideas and concepts is a great way to master, ya know?

but how

[glacial raven]

Easy it's not a deep dive and if it is, not from this week

[glacial raven]

without beer , can be faster with rocky mountain by 1 or 2 min I think

[cold widget]

Last weeks EDD.. Pretty violent one that was. (Also I'm the Gunner, It was Thargash's first Elite Dive, so those 15 deaths are meaningless)

[timid bridge]

am cyborhg mahn

Are there any form of rewards for getting WR on a deep dive? Or yall just do it for fun?

[wide latch]

there aren't any rewards for getting the fastest time, so most likely just for fun

and bragging rights of course

[barren jewel]

For that sweet sweet F L E X

[jade knot]

dk how to be faster on stage 2

cursed pipelines everywhere

[spark aspen]

be a driller? :)

[cursive quartz]

Gotta platform over trenches too

[spark aspen]

be a driller AND an engineer

[cursive quartz]

New meta speedrunning class. Primary: drill. Secondary: platform gun.

[spark aspen]

easy

[cursive quartz]

You can have a HE grenade if you ask nicely.

[spark aspen]

jokes aside I would definitely go driller for this speedrun, but I'll skip it because stage 2 can die in a fire.

[real cedar]

EDD with randos!!

[jade knot]

nice

thats scout right?

[proud nova]

yep

[jade knot]

wonder how he did stage 2

i had p weird pipeline setups

[candid ocean]

place pipelines, force your resident APD unit to build them while you simply v i b e , and then just sort of run around while the refinery does its thing

[jade knot]

...

yeah

i know.

im wondering what routes he took

because building the pipelines without any fast terraforming tools was frustrating on stage 2

[candid ocean]

I only found one of the pumpjacks really needed that. I suppose there's potential in tricking an oppressor into doing it for you, but more likely the pipes just sort of went around

[round spruce]

Dig into rock a little and use the pipeline's dig radius to carve a path

Works better than you'd expect

[candid ocean]

yeah the pipes themselves aren't half bad at digging, a tunnel you can fit through will be expanded by them

[jade knot]

i had more trouble with the pumpjack on the highest floor

theres prob a faster way there that i didnt think of

[jade knot]

yep thats how i did the final one (the one highest)

[candid ocean]

you can sort of abuse pipelines going up if you dig into a sheer wall and place it whereever it lets you

[jade knot]

like digging into the wall?

sounds slow

[candid ocean]

eh one power attack and then you shake your placement tool around until it turns blue

pipeline carve does most of the work

[jade knot]

youre talking about digging straight into a wall right?

i mean i can understand abusing ledges to carve around. but ive never used pipelines as a digging tool

[candid ocean]

no I was meaning how to bring pipes up a sheer cliff rather than around to the ramp cave

but yeah you can sort of use them to dig, but most of the time they're best for expanding existing pickaxe tunnels

rocky mountain helps there

[jade knot]

extending pipelines vertically? huh. maybe i shld try it to go faster

[candid ocean]

it's quite finicky because 'too steep' is a really inconsistent pipe status

but it is doable

[jolly gale]

@jade knot https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1102724501?t=05h15m02s

[minor shadow]

any tips for speedrunning this DD as scout solo

i just want to get the achievement for doing one in under 45

[robust terrace]

• You dont need o mine nitra because you get 40~60 nitra everytime you repair a mini-mule. you'll have at least 1 supply per stage = 4 ressuplies per stage

• put Bosco to do stuff ALL THE TIME. getting mini mule legs, getting morkite (if you have dark morkite, i think it only works if YOU mine it tho)

[minor shadow]

wait you get nitra for repairing mini mules?

this is news to me

also yeah, pots o gold/dark morkite only apply to ores broken by a pickaxe

[twin urchin]

randos, normal DD

[cursive quartz]

Are the nitra added directly to the deposited pool? Not really seen the nitra/gold from mules either.

[minor shadow]

yeah its added directly

[cursive quartz]

Thanks, will keep a closer lookout next time I do salvage.

[minor shadow]

shoot

not quite sub-45

definitely could've done better on stages 1 and 3

[robust terrace]

dont worry, you'll be cutting some seconds, even minutes, the more you repeat it

[minor shadow]

this is my second time on this deep dive

[mighty adder]

any solo regular DD's?

[robust aurora]

Can someone explain to me how waves work when speed running missions or tasks? For Example on an egg mission you typically get 1 wave per 2 eggs, but not necessarily in that order. But if we have a scout pull al 6 eggs in quick succession, we get three waves on top of one another? 1 wave? or 3 waves but reduced enemies because of how many mobs DRG can support on a map?

[old crystal]

3 waves with less enemies iirc

[proud nova]

In egg missions there are "trapped" eggs. Those will trigger a big wave when dug out. The other eggs will simply spawn lesser waves

4 eggs => 1 trapped
6 eggs => 2 trapped
8 eggs => 3 trapped

if you pull out multiple eggs in quick succession, you'll have to fight a "bigger" wave.

Since you can't have more than 60 enemies and 60 swarmers at the same time, some enemies might be erased to make place for others (only as a spawning event). What's left will be queued up until there's place for them

Granted, take it with a grain of salt because I don't have any proof to back this up. This comes from my observation from playing the game

(the queue part, everything else is pretty much set in stone)

[robust aurora]

The thing I am trying to get to the figure out, is are there less or equal enemies when pulling fast/speed run?

[proud nova]

Since you're speedrunning and don't have to fight them

it's not really a factor

is it ?

[robust aurora]

on egg missions sometimes as eggs get lost in the chaos and maybe you have to fight through the wave to get the egg in Molly. Im just curious if theres more or less.

[proud nova]

then there'll be more enemies overall

[robust aurora]

If its unknown, im happy with that answer.

[light marlin]

the waves stack, so if you pull all eggs at once you get more enemies (up to the cap)

[proud nova]

Well not really more

statistically, you'll have less enemies, because some might be potentially erased

but the waves will be much much longer

[robust aurora]

Thank you

[light marlin]

less total, but more at once

[proud nova]

yeah

[robust aurora]

Do we as players know what the cap is?

[proud nova]

told you earlier but I'm going to say it again

[light marlin]

but as ser pounce said, if you're fast you just ignore the enemies in fast egg missions

[proud nova]

60 enemies and 60 swarmers

(if you're wondering, the cap exists for performance reasons)

[robust aurora]

Thanks I must of missed that.

Im a bit skeptical of that enemy cap however given that you have a max amount of oppressors, pretorians, bulks, menaces?
ex: Could you kite an enemy in the hopes that others would not spawn via the triggers?

[light marlin]

you could theoretically, but its better to just deposit and leave quickly

and you'd still be left with 60 enemies to kill

[robust aurora]

This of corse would be disproved if you were able kite an oppressor to another trigger point of another oppressor.

[glacial raven]

for speedrunning egg hunt the way it's done is like this :
open egg than deposit in the mule, do the secondairy objectiv first on deep dive if egg are the main objectiv to get less enemies on you
if there is to much enemies on the mule use something with crowd control like c4/shield/cryo nade / engi secondairy

[cloud bloom]

virus any% speedrun lmao

[sonic moss]

not a virus, a phishing link to get your steam account information. Although kinda hilarious how bad it is. The general page looks the same, but the second you start looking closer it just crumbles.

[cursive quartz]

Interestingly the pages are intentionally poor, to lure in more likely to be tricked marks.

[sharp bloom]

Are speedrunning and soloing synonymous to a degree? Any tips on playstyle shift from groups to trying DD/EDD solo?

[smoky holly]

Very different imo, solo is playing the game normally. Speedrunning is kinda not playing the game.

Speedrunning in this game is learning the map then planning a route. You mine the bare minimum nitra and and avoid killing bugs unless you have to

The game becomes a parse check

[hot hinge]

Yeh Speedrunning is trying to optimize the time of a given seed while Soloing can be just for the challenge, granted you can also speedrun as solo.

[minor shadow]

i did it yall

[proud nova]

Congrats ^^

for grappling hook should I go BAAC or AAAC

AAAB is the best choice for speedrun.For daily mission, BAAC or AAAC are very good, depending on personal preference

[vast lagoon]

uh, a buddy and i just did the deep dive, we finished in 43:31 (yeah, not the best time whatever), i did get the achievement, but his is still locked?

for some reason, he also does not have the one for actually completing one. do you need to host them for achievements to pop?

[cursive quartz]

tried relogging and stuff?

we already did a DD weeks ago, so the first one should have popped already via relogging?

[quartz breach]

This was with a random public lobby. Could've shaved off 3 minutes off the time but as you can see they were all greenbeards, it took them quite some time to get to droppod in the last two stages

[cold widget]

veeeeery fun DD this week for speedrunning. good luck all

can anyone get 12 minutes?

[mellow gulch]

This is my first two-person cooperative racing with @silk cape dark mokite

[vagrant knoll]

Could've probably sped this up a bit with a driller, but still the best time we've managed so far for a DD by a couple minutes.

[quartz breach]

Not really the one to fancy speedrunning as I hate running the same mission over and over. But I figured this was short enough to give it a try. Was 2nd attempt, could do a lot better; made so many mistakes--missed grapples, losing track of aquarqs, etc.. Might try again if I get more time

[proud nova]

👌 nice time

I got 24 mins

22 minutes here, solo driller

Not a deep dive post, but this is the only speedrunning section of the Discord I could find. Ran some Haz 5 egg hunts yesterday to try and get the best time possible, finally got to 3:08.

(barely) sub-45 on my first try of this DD

44:52

this is a fun one

[wide latch]

did this on my first try, if i had rocky mountain it would've been a bit faster i think

[frank path]

What is a good time on deep dives? I see posts about runs near and above 40ish min and don't know what is considered fast because I feel like my average deep dive runs are 40-45 min.

[glacial raven]

fast is between 10-25 min depending of the week

[frank path]

Ok that is about what I was thinking.

[valid halo]

we just ranthe DD at a sub 40 last night. we didnt have the time to run the EDD for a speed run though.

[dire quarry]

Decided it would be a fun experience to start speedrunning Deep Dives. This is my personal best so far.

[manic stone]

surely not fast enough to call a speedrun; but proud to complete another scout solo EDD

[sonic magnet]

first speedrun i think it was nice

[slow hull]

10 min faster than we were shooting for with @robust geyser @hollow path

[robust geyser]

I don’t see how we won but, hey we did it!

as a gunner it's close to the same time

Not bad for a first try I think

we weren't really trying to speedrun, our deep dive ended up being pretty fast so I figured I'd post. also we were running x2 enemies which made stage 2 mactera plague fun. i think that was the first time I've seen my EPC ran out of ammo before my flamethrower.

also ran EDD with x2 enemies and we also did it pretty fast at 47:07
