yea
It's a slow system, but it incentivizes attempting the Elite Deep Dives. I think it's a decent system in that regard. Once you get all the stuff you're going for, the Deep Dives and even the Weekly Core Assignment lose their immediate appeal. The Weekly Core Assignment is good to give your regular play an easy choice of missions (for 3 missions), but the Deep Dives are only there for the challenge, then
i mean they're adding more weapons so its gonna be more overclocks aswell
Yeah, it's a bit of a different experience on PlayStation, since the other versions have had a long time to collect the cores. I've had everything for a good long while now, but a friend only just got his final Cosmetic Core. Still, we have friends who are still earning everything because they came to the game way later, and so they're kind of experiencing it the way most PlayStation folks are able to
It can feel a bit overwhelming, I'm sure
It was slow for all of us though, just a bit faster to get Overclocks for the new weapons
at least i had good luck with the lost loot so far, i got two parts of the bug hide thing and its the 2 i wanted most
It's plenty to keep you busy for sure. But it also kind of encourages you to play a little each week, but not go so hard on it you burn out. For a long time, we'd just hop on and do the Deep Dives and the Weekly Assignments and once those were done we'd spend some time with another game or two. It's kept our interest long-term by not playing too much in a short period of time. It might not works so well for everyone's play style and free time, though
My only hope is something that can work well with my Mr. Freeze build. Kinda growing old on the twin smgs
I never got into the groove with the dual smgs for the scout. I've seen them used well, with the freeze mines I take it?
Cryo-minelets are crazy.
The shotgun just erases anything in front of me so thoroughly I haven't been able to put it down, haha
I use the twin smgs if I run out of cry grenades
Then follow up with the GK2 and it’s overclock to down the bugs
A friend runs them, and it looks quite good. The rapidity with which he's removed a Spitball Infector with them is inspiring
They freeze most things very quickly, it seems
Yeah, it is pretty quick at freezing things
The only cryo item I've used frequently are the cryo-grenades, and those are lovely
Makes short work of flying things
cryo cannon? 
the game really wants me to play gunner doesnt it
Good 
What makes you say that?
why else would it give me only matrix cores for the gunner
Huh. Didn’t notice that myself
i have 3 overclocks for each of his weapons, like 5 beards and now a victory move
Gunner is awesome but give me Driller all day
meanwhile i have only 1 or 2 total overclocks for each other class and maybe 1 beard
im not really a fan of gunner, i dont like his tools
the zipline is kinda lame and the shield is meh, more annoying than useful to me
Do any include
Bullet hell
Burning hell
Lead storm
Elephant rounds
let me check
The shield is actually outstanding for covering up dotty
Helping teammates against dreads swarms and so on
burning hell
lead storm
yes
I thought zipline was lame too at first but once I learned you can hold grab button and still get attached it
Well burning hell turns your minigun into a flamethrower to anything close in front of you
It became my bitch
And lead storm is just heavy but you stand still when shooting
Unless you're on a zip
Then you're a mobile sentrygun
My goodness. All classes are amazing
Yeah each is critical for a team and you can always feel the lack if you dont have one
I just love customization and how unique each feel. Its like the devs gave me different ways to enjoy my favorite fruit
Like engineer. His shotgun is nice but Lok really makes it feel like I’m planning different class
And the amount of ways you can combine your primary & secondary
This is prime example of quality over quantity in terms of class design
Anyone in EST/AST time wanna run either of the Deep Dives sometime today w/ me?
Anyone want to play some games
try #lfg-playstation
on that point, im assuming ones you have all overclocks you get blank cores instead as rewards for the deep dives and weekly missions, or how does that work?
Once you have received every Weapon Overclock Core, you will get Blank Cores whenever you would have normally gotten an Overclock Core
If you get all weapon and cosmetic overclocks (which takes a long time), you get mineral cores
And blanks which can be turned into mineral cores
ahh
It'll probably be a while longer before you have received all of the Cosmetic Cores, but once that happens you begin to receive a Mineral Container in place of the usual Cosmetic Core. A Mineral Container can be forged to receive 120 of a random Mineral (It'll tell youwhich Mineral)
ok dumb question, but it doesnt cost anything to forge a mineral core right?
It costs 600 credits
ah ok, yea thats nothing
But only the credits
yea it'd be kind dumb if you had to pay minerals for minerals
It would, yeah
you can sell them for a profit
And the minerals inside are worth 6000 credits
so ones you get all overclocks you get blanks instead which can be turns into mineral cores at core infusers im guessing?
and ones you get all cosmetics aswell you only get minerals cores right away?
You only get the mineral cores once you have all the Cosmetic Cores
At the Core Infusers, you'll get a choice of all Cosmetic Cores once you have all the Overclocks
no you only get mineral cores once you have all cosmetic and weapon ocs
so if you have everything, for the weekly core hunts and deep dives you get
6 blanks and 3 minerals?
or just 9 minerals?
6 blanks and 3 minerals, yep
and those 6 blanks can also be turned into minerals ye?
ye
Yep
ah
You got it
and if you only have all overclocks you get
6 blanks and 3 cosmetics
Yep, that's right
well if i do ever get to that point, which will be in months if not years, ill probably just save until i get like 100 blanks so i can hammer out all new overclocks or cosmetics if they come out
i do kind of wish there was a higher chance to get cores for whichever class and weapons you're playing in the mission, because im now almost on my second promotion for scout and my 4th for driller and i have only gotten 3 useful cores for both of those classes combined
Forge Mastery still gives Cores, even for forging Mineral Containers, so you can save them and forge them all when new Overclocks come out and get some Overclocks from Forge Mastery
thats actually smart af, i would not have thought of that
id have just forged them right away to hord up minerals
Hi
ok i have another question, how do you find enor pearls?
i have never found one and only ever seen teammates bring them, od they just lay around?
Does anyone wanna play with me my friends don't wanna download the game even tho they forced me to buy it so anyone mind playing with me I just completed the toturial I'm bad at the game
what kind of assholes are your friends wtf
The kind that will force me to buy a game and won't play with me in the end
yea i know those kinda friends, the ones i had ghosted me not too long ago out of the blue
but who needs friends when you got rock and stone!
Your best bet would be #lfg-playstation
Probably gonna just have to start fresh and get new friends I already bought
Terraria
Duck game
Cold war
Modern warfare
Mortal kombat
And many more and after I got it they suddenly started playing a game I didn't have or couldn't get
Thanks
i gotta break it to you buddy, you're probably the third wheel on their wagon, i speak from experiance
there's a simple test to find out if your friends care about you, dont message them for a while and see if they message you to ask if you wanna play or just to check in on you
if they do, they care, if they dont, they dont
if you're always the one to ask to play or to check in on them but never the other way around, its a one sided friendship
Nah doesn't work they just forget I even exist did that last year for a full year and it no one texted it said anything
So imma just make new friends
then they dont care about you, sadly
if you care about someone and like to play with them, you dont just forget they exist
also sorry if im rambling a bit, id offer to play with you but like i said i just got ghosted by long time friends recently and im not ready to make new friends to regularly play with yet
Exactly but imma just make new friends around the same interest thing us I'm abit to scarred to trust ppl
Same
No prob thanks for the advice
you're welcome, it took me too long to realise i was the "disliked" or "pitied" friend, if i can help others realise sooner so they can find proper friends im happy
Thanks allot
but do try out drg, its a really fun game
I'd be willing to help out, I just hope that my connection will be well enough to let me do it if ur still going, this is probably my most played game recently so I'm pretty much always online
The only problem is if my connection will let me, sometimes I can play with others and sometimes I can't
I have a friend who plays sometimes but not enough to actively do drg with
So most of the time I run solos
Engi is my most played
I do also have a mic but I dont mind not using it
You can find the pearls by looking in the walls, they stick out from the rest of the area but having little white orbs which let's you know, like Jadiz and aquarqs
Enor Pearl is found like any other large chunk of minerals, by looking for the cluster of mini minerals that mark the walls where you should dig. They also emit a faint glow that you can see easier when there are no flares lighting things up and the emit a faint audible hum as you get close
Hello all. I am new to the DRG discord, and I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this so please let me know if I'm in the wrong place. I joined because I'm having issues with my game. I'm on PS5. I get constant crashing every time I play, usually within 1 hour of playtime. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Any advice?
Well, I'm ps4 so idk how much is applies but I've had a couple crashes here and there usual after alot of bugs spawn, usually on screen instead of behind a wall or behind me, or a lot of effects going off at once like alot of explosives
You could probably go to #420195388675588096 or the others nearby it and get better help
In QA & FEEDBACK
yeah I’m also on ps4 and I rarely crash def not every hour.. should run smoother on ps5 theoretically
thanks for the advice. yeah it is strange. when it runs it is quite smooth but i just get these constant crashes. i have friends who also have ps5 and they never crash which makes me a bit worried
Theoretically💀
Feels bad man
if you were in someone else's game you can try rejoining, but if you were host, F
Can't late join DD
you can rejoin if you were in it before and left via crash/dc
I've done it multiple times and have people do it in mine
How
I open their profile and join game
Their profile in PS?
ok i just had the weirdest crash yet
got disconnected mid mission, tried to rejoin and my game crashed
started the game up and an alert came that my save data as corrupted
restarted again and now it works fine
My game crashed when I was just about the call the drop pod in after finding a error cube and chuck of gold
Hi guys. I'm tempted to buy this game! Looks very fun. Do i need ps+ for multiplayer?
yes you do..
sadly
Damn...well, not a problem tho. It's solo play great, right? :)
myself i havent tried it but i heard its good ive seen alot of people play solo!!!
solo is fun too yeah
Awesome. I'll buy it then. Is there any activity to do beside "play the game"? I mean something like battle pass, ladders or anything?
Ty for answering questions guys
theres a battle pass thats free but idk if you need ps plus i recently switched to pc but ill still help a brotha on ps out!
no problem
and i guess theres like others things hidden in the maps you play so sometimes its not just 2 objs just look up vids on it \
Oh ok. Will definitely watch some videos. Thanks!!!
hope you enjoy drg
I'm sure i will! I discovered this game by chance watching a streamer. The game style seems pretty good, the endgame will be very fun and not boring at all. That's what i felt, correct me if i'm wrong
You will enjoy it, it's the funnest game I've played in years tbh.
Rock and stone anyone?
My bad sorry can't see I'm blind

I see more than two legs 
And I see a leaf-lover, not able to distinguish a glyphid dwarf from a regular plain-ass glyphid 


Odd observation after playing for three months. I have met incredible Gunners who played with the enemy AI like a master artisan. Drillers who inspired me with perfect technique and pathing, and Scouts so skilled they couldn't die no matter how large the Haz 5 swarm.
I have never played with an engineer that was better than okay
i love playing scout and i can say we are very hard to kill i don’t like to play anyone else’s bc i have to put the grappling hook 😅
yea engis are kind of brain dead, se their turrets up in the worst places and stand afk 50 years instead of putting a platform to a hard to each vain of nitra.
i have seen some good engis tho but its a bit rare
^^ my friend played engineer and he was great imo scout engineer combo is so great
yea if you have a good engi on your team its a huge help, but they are a bit rare to find
very true he stopped playing drg so i don’t have a my duo plus i switched to pc but i played more on playstation and his playstation broke and he has a poo poo pc 
playing scout to me feels like a bit of a guilty pleasure, because its incredibly fun but it isnt as "social" as the other classes, you kind of run ahead on your own instead of making a path the others can use aswell
yeah it makes me feel like i’m a lone wolf tbh but i love the mobility
I was last man standing and killed an Oppressor at full health with a Detonator
i think i just met the most braindead engi yet
wastes 2 resupplys worth of platforms to make a path up a cliff, that we already had a path up via pipes
Engineer slander is real
its not my fault that most of the engineers i meet have an IQ sup par to a brick
Did they look like a newbie?
i think they were like level 40 or so
Maybe it's time they get their Engineer privileges revoked
yea
I played engineer first then got each of my dwarves promoted once. Honestly I like playing engineer but man this slander hurts.
I usually play him when I'm in a group since not alot choose to play engi
I often see a lotta of Scouts who either never use their flare gun, or dive straight into a swarm only to go down and spam the help button
thats why i use the M1000 as scout, i keep away from the swarms and take them out from away
i only dive in to revive others
What kind of build do you use for the M1000 cause that gun is a bit annoying to use
freeze grenades and the akimbo smgs as secondary
if enemies get close i pull out the smg, if its swarmers i use the freeze
i also use the freeze to revive teammates and take out things like breeders
i dont have any overclocks for the M1000 yet so i use it without them and for the smgs i got the overclock that increases mag size and slightly lovers firerate
The engineer slander hurts...but also the only person I've ever had to kick was playing one
And maybe yesterday one dropped a fat boy on top of the drilldozer so you had to take damage to repair it
The M1000 works great with the hipster overclock
yea hipster is one id like, or the active stability system
Also known as ASS

Played some more, back to muse about Engineers.
There are people of every class that forget their support tools. Flare Guns (praise the Dark), C4, Shields, and Turrets. But it's very rare for people to forget ziplines, drills, or grappling hook. Not so true with platforms.
And the game gives no training whatsoever on how you can use platforms to control swarm flow; repellent additive or not. So it makes sense that they don't know how.
i always forget i have a big boom boom that can kill many bugs
:(
driller is just overwhelming imo
guys got weapons on all 4 slots
Trying to use half of all my ammo before each resupply is how I achieve beautiful serenity
It's just Meet the Pyro with more sharp things
i can’t use zhukovs without ifg ngl
Press 4 twice iirc
4 twice, oh I"ll try that one
On the steam and windows store version, the 1 to 4 keys are the weapon selection, and 5 is the resupply
Probably a bug, you should check if it was reported already
Hi
Oh Is this where my long and illustrious history as a bug hunter begins? ok
Lol
Erm cock a doodle doo
Been getting no luck lately in my overclock hunt
Been on that drg gring that now its morning
Ifg?
the electric field grenades
Scout slow grenades are amazing. Damage increase to anything in the field + slow. Also can boost the damage of several other weapons because it's an electric field.
Zhukov with Cryo Minelets don't care about it though.
game, i would appreciate it if you could stop giving me victory moves for the gunner and instead give me stuff for scout or driller while i actually play as
PAIN
OuijaDeep Rock Galactic said: N O Goodbye
rude
30% damage from all sources is actually better then cryo. Plus Zhukovs have conductive bullets
on another point, why is the industrial facemask a hat instead of a beard? i dont really see a reason why you shouldnt be able to put a helmet or hairstyle with the facemask
I need a bit of advice. Im gonna try to do an EDD. Should I bring my gunner with Carpet Bomber AC (because I heard there won't be a lot of nitra) or Driller to use bunker with Cryo Cannon?
either works, whoever your more comfortable with
if i remember correctly this weeks EDD has plenty of nitra, i've done it till stage 3 and that almost to its end and we didnt have an ammo issue at any point
there’s no dreads so carpet bomber ain’t a bad choice. And cryo is always strong
That's what I was thinking. Both of them are my favorite classes to play so that's why I'm having a hard time. I might end up going with Gunner cause I have a feeling that escort mission is going to be the hardest.
I took Bosco and Sticky Flame and it worked out pretty well.
Just make sure you take Unstoppable so you can abuse the goo puddles on stage 3 by the minehead
i didn’t have unstoppable on but still abused them
Dash works for it just fine too
i never don’t bring dash
Do DD’s count as 1 mission?
think so
Honestly I feel like engineer is pretty good for escort
You set the turrent up to protect the drilldozer and can even set up proximity mines
gunner is also pretty juicy for escort IMO
you can mine oil shale while you are on the zipline holding the battery
the thing that drives me insane is losing EDD to dumb escape pod spawns, like its landing on top of the ceiling and the landing ramp is halfway in a wall, as a solo engineer I am pretty much GG at that point :x
til:
you can hang onto cave angels and ride them around, very useful for getting up high places
Yes! They’re fun
how did it take me till level 55 to find out you can do that
Except they can just dive and drop you on an awkward ledge
yeah u can even control the cave angels directions ✈️
not possible yeah
bruh, why would you hack up your level in drg
There is likely no practical limit for blue player level (i.e. it's high enough that no one will reach it via legitimate means), but the theoretical limit would be based on whatever data type stores the value of the level. For example, if the blue player level was stored as a (signed) 32-bit integer value, the highest player level would be 2,147,483,647. It'd take over 250 million dwarf promotions to get there legitimately in this hypothetical scenario. I'm not sure how the player level value is stored, but presumably it's something not too dissimilar
has any gunner main a weapon/overclock combo that really wows him? Personally I feel like the engineers rail gun is way better at dealing with large threats than anything the gunner has to offer for me yet, same with how when I play driller with cryo gun I feel unstoppable against any enemy and I can follow up with meele, drill, axe, or just the pistol while haveing loads of utility with both classes, the gunner I feel like no matter which weapon I always just sort of end up holding down the trigger and waiting for things to happen lol like just a normal threat level 4 praetorian takes so long to die but maybe I am just missing something
Hey guys
Haven’t found a good primary weapon OC yet but I really like elephant rounds on the revolver
i like hurricane and the burst pistol with longer burst and weakspot dammage
it melts opressers and preas
and hurricane for splash dmmage againts grunts is good
Yea so far I am running carpet bomber and elephant gun to take out armored boys too, Ive tried big bertha and leadstorm but they didnt feel as devastating as I hoped they would be
I have gotten only 1 rocket launcher oc yet and its plasma thingy which sounds fun but I am too bad to pull it off lol
i dont even use an oc becuase the only one i have for it makes its semi auto and is kinda bad
but its a red overclock to so
Hm maybe I ll give it another try then cause when I toyed around with the base traits I found exactly the problem that I have now where opressors and praetorians eat an entire magazine and it feels like I am not doing much
Also the grenades I am not a fan of I am useing cluster bombs for now but they are also kinda bad against opressors and praetorians imo
With my build I'd kill preas in second with a high speed 5 shot burst
It would take like burst to kill
The grenades are more aoe large group damage than tank killers in general so that isn't going to get better
The starting grenade is probable a little better at using target damage than the others though
Well if I would find a loadout that works really well for big targets Id use them for swarms more often
They are definitely the most enjoyable haha
Guys I promoted driller and gunner to gold 1
But ( gold-tire employee ) trophy
did not earn
What is the problem ?
well the gunner is all about sustainable DPS so you are feeling that, and gunner really starts to shine at the higher hazards where his potential really gets to show. but as others have said Elephant rounds Bulldog and Lead Spray BRT are quite common big bug choices. i would add Volatile Bullets Bulldog to that list but it does take a bit more time to setup the kill with that. I also find that the Minigun is perfectly suitable for taking out those big bugs personally
if you can tell me what Overclocks you have on your gunner i can give some build recommendations
thank you so much! I have MINIGUN: Lead Storm, AUTOCANNON: carpet bomber, big bertha, splintering shells, HURRICANE: plasma burster missles, manual guidance cutoff BULLDOG elephant rounds, chain hit BRT7: micro flechettes, composite casings, electro minelets
alright you got some of the ones which i use also. if you want to be more effective against big bugs with your primary gun the Lead storm for minigun and Big Bertha are solid choices. with Lead Storm you have to be bunny hopping tho (shooting mid air between jumps) or hanging on your zip line to have some sort of mobility/avoidance against the bugs
but some specific builds i'd use with those OCs are
- Carpet Bomber Autocannon 31221 + Elephant Rounds Bulldog 21321 (autocannon for dealing with swarms, bulldog for dealing with big bugs. Born Ready is a nice perk for this build)
- Lead Storm Minigun 31112 + Composite Casings BRT7 11231 (kinda of an all-around bullet spamming build, Minigun for taking out big bugs mainly but can also be used on swarms and BRT to give you a more mobile option in tight situations and some CC with the stun, great against Macteras)
generally when making builds its good to build one of your weapons to deal with big bugs and the other to be able to deal with swarms (large amounts of ''regular'' bugs). Karl.gg is also a great website for finding builds and doing your own since you get much more detailed stats there
oh and also sticky grenades are very useful to get praetorians to show their butts to you, it has guaranteed fear when it sticks to a bug. the fear part of the nade is often overlooked
sadly i havent played around with Big Bertha to have a build for it, but on Karl.gg you can surely find one. i know many love Big Bertha very much
thank you so much for your write up ! 🙂
I thought auto cannon with elephant rifles is pretty good for big boys cause the fear makes them turn around so you can elephant round the booty at least in theory
my pleasure!
yes that would certainly work, altho i dont pick Fear for the autocannon with carpet bomber since i want the bugs to bunch up instead of scattering around so that i can mow them down more easily with my AOE
but its personal preference really
nah you are right taht does actually antisynergise
an easy way to get to the butt of praetorians is to bait them to do their ranged attack by getting close to them, but not too close so they can melee you
they will go for the ranged attack quickly and then you can just walk around them ^^
yea I am just so spoiled from cryo on the driller and engis rail gun haha especially cause I play a lot of solo so getting to bugs' butts feels like a hastle to me outside of engi and driller
Neurotoxin payload is gonna make me like Gunner.
Yeah, definitely loving it. 31222 is doing amazing crowd control.
I have recently gotten a PS5 but been playing on the PS4, it there a way to transfer the progress to play PS5 version
not sure if bosco is trying to get employee of the month or trying to kill me when he instantly shoots the bet-c before I even know there is one 
When will we be able to transfer progress from the Gameboy™️ to the Gameboy Colour™️?
When they get back to me about how the link cables work
If you unplug the link cable at the right moment, you unlock Karl
Can you transfer it from PS4 edition to PS5 edition on the same console?
Did the Dystrum sub mission get removed or something?
Cause it feels like I never see it at all
Dystrum only pops up as the secondary objective for Point Extract and On-Site Refining missions, I believe
And occasionally pops up on discord, but that won't count towards the objective unfortunately
Apologies to the three (if you happen to peruse this discord) that joined my escort mission late and then got dc'd shortly after, apparently 'LAN cable not connected' even for just a moment will do that, smh. Has anyone else had this issue on PS5? never had a problem with being wired on pretty much anything I've ever played on, but for some reason my PS5 does this a couple of times a month... not sure if it's the cable, the PS5's ethernet port, or what. I will say that the PS5 ethernet port is snug for some reason, but I might try buying a new cable to see if that improves the issue 🤔
I have a question. Whats the forge for and how do i use it
You're also gonna need a lotta credits and crafting materials if you wanna make any of them
How do i promote, i just got the game like a week ago
reach class level 25
Thanks
reach level 25, do a promotion assignment, then buy the promotion at the memorial hall with minerals and creds
i think like 8000 or so, not too much
Oh noice
Just loaded into DRG to continue the grind and noticed I had a assignment going. Aparently something didn't save right and I lost progress.
the only thing I think is missing is the assignment gun. It locked the auto cannon for the gunner. Tbh that gun seemed worse than the lead storm so.. That's a bug, but I'm not too bothered by it right now
Prob was an internet service issue instead of a bad cable, I occasionally get that too. Cat5’s are cheap though
Ac is really good for crowd control and it has a ton of ammo for what it does
I used to think the autocannon was worse, just because its got a totally different use than the minigun. Now I love using autocannon for Haz4 and 5. Man the fear+toxin oc is satisfying
Nt payload is perfect for edd swarms
Ehh.. it didnt seem to do as much as the lead storm, it does one-shot medium glyphids, but overall against pratorians it seemed less good. Also ammo is lower
I have 660 and it does damage over time
Minigun is definitely more single target damage, wheras auto cannon is for taking out swarms of smaller bugs
Splash damage is the biggie
Lower ammo cuz of a mod
I'll give it anoher chance later.
I'm pushing to tier 99 and I'm only tier 82
When you're going for splash damage, the first tier mod can usually be put towards ammo rather than the direct damage. Im using my secondary + grenades to take out praetorians. Just a different style of play is all
I still always play with minigun when playing with friends on lower hazards, because, lets be honest, that minigun shredding through bugs is one of the most satisfying things in this game
And it spins
yea the animation for the bulldog revolver and lead storm is more satisfying
Another reason it might've felt underpowered is that the overclocks are pretty much what make splash damage builds viable. The toxic payload one works as well, but theres two other overclocks that boost splash. Forgot to mention
I use nt with the ac and 6 shot bulldog for haz 4/5 and edd but hurricane’s fun for haz 3
The OC I had cut ammo but did something else good sounding.
You can guide the missiles with motion controls
Agreed all the way
Sometimes 3 shot elephant round bulldog is fun too 😂 That 150+ damage per shot feels great in Haz 3/4
Oh yeah esp for spitballers and breeders
I used to get that daily on my ps4 b4 switching to PS5. What I did was switch the inputs by literally unplugging it n plugging it in reverse. So far it works well.
Each time you promote, it increases, and so do the minerals
That's hilarious, I'm gonna try it 👍🤞 but I think what blu said might also ring true, in my case, anyway, in that it could be an internet issue, or even a modem issue as I switched ISPs last fall to save money and ended up with one of those third party modems, so 🤷
you shud never go for tier 1 damage, that upgrade is just real bad
I mean yes. I dont disagree.
The op was mentioning they had an ammo issue with the auto canon, so I only assumed they skipped the ammo upgrade on 1st tier
Can ps5 version play with ps4 version of the game
Yes
Thanks
Where is the Russian translation on PS4 ??? they said back in January that it was 94% ready. Is this like we were ripped off?

Good afternoon everyone
Like it was said before, it needs to be translated, then approved, then sent to Sony for their approval too. Translation is almost totally made by volunteers, so it comes out when it comes out. But if you want to, you're always welcome to help
did i just spend 2.5 hours on a liquid morkite mission building a rollercoaster? yes
was it worth it? yes
What brought you the faintest thought of it not being worth it? 
it was fun and i got 2 achievements for it
I need to level up my gunner fml
It's not so bad honestly
I mean you do those xp levels and it should be relatively quick
Driller is taking me a long ass time
I'm not doing anything if you need help
Honestly because I switch between the characters alot I can not get them to 2 stars
Only engineer is 2 stars and the rest is 1
I got my scout to his second promotion before I even played any of the others lol
I’m at silver 2 driller, silver 3 gunner and scout and gold engi
And sure I'll take some help :o
But it is so bad when you get the failed to join session message 10 times in a row
Want to get driller to 3 so I can get gunner and scout to gold and not have to play a ton of driller to get the trophy
That'd be awesome
Was playing a rythem game but I'll hop on rn
Honestly for the longest time I thought I hated gunners starting weapons but playing it a few times now they're actually not horrible
Oop sorry
Hate when people message me while I'm playing a rythm game
I think the minigun and thunderhead is pretty wild
Like the clean overclocks on the overclock make it so nice
I want the thunder head cause I already have big bertha
I also have elephant rounds :o
Usually you dont really need all damage on the gunners weapons. I get like 1 ammo upgrade for each since I like to have alot of ammo
True
Anyways I'm getting on. My psn is valevega96
Lmk when u want the inv
I don't have too long rn but I'll definitely be on late tonight
I mean we can do it now or later
If its later I can get a friend of mine
We dont really do alot on this game besides our deep dives
5-6 hours?
Sure I'll be on
I also did this. And Gunner feels like a downgrade in every way if you're used to Scout, but he has his strengths, mostly suited for team-play. He might be the worst class for solo missions/playing independently from the team, I think.
Bro?
Stupid question but is my rank not going up because I'm playing as scout and he's level 25? I've been stuck at 39 with one notch for like 5 mission
You need to promote him to the next tier level 1 cause it stops leveling at 25
Yea, but does that affect my blue level from progressing??
Blue level is 3 red levels
....Ohhhhh
Cause scout can’t get more red lvls after 25 you needa promo
They should really write that in the game somewhere haha
You can also use different classes for your promotion assignment if you wanna keep increasing the blue level
I was grinding to get to 40 so I could do the assignment for the gear and mask combo, then it stopped going up. It's all good I got one mission left on my promotion for Scout.
Much appreciated though.
Np
is there a site i can detatiled patchnotes
its says it, if you reach level 25 ones you load into the space rig you get an announcement from mission control telling you that you're alliable for a promotion and that you have to complete a final assignment for it
it is a bit annoying that your blue level doesnt go up during the promotion assignment missions tho, wasted xp
You waste that xp if you play that assignment with the class you're about to promote. You're not forced to use that class while you do the assignment, you can do it with any class
what is the chance that they are gonna add perks with the next big update btw?
or balance them around a bit
Close to the absolute zero, why ? Is there a perk that seems bugged for you ?
just got all these extra perk points and its fun for me to set up different loadouts for different situations 🤠 also there are some traits that I would love to use more often if they were a little bit "better"
The extra points are there because the devs wanted the perks to be easy to unlock, so they added a ton of extra points to avoid forcing grind.
So those are intentional
so I am definetly looking foreward if anything in that department happens but if its not then its also not a big deal was just curious how often the perks are maybe a side dish to bigger updates
yea makes sense just thought that for a lot of people they have overflow, I definetly check from time to time what things I can still do to complete more milestones so I would love to also spend those at some point in the future
They did a main update that was focused on balancing the perks, but they have not said anything about touching the perks again.
thanks for that info for sure, hopefully they ll look at it at some point or another though! One of the biggest drawbacks for me personally for these long term live service games is that so many features get added that older ones seem to appear as if they were forgotten about and dont fit anymore
the new weapons look way more exciting for now though 
Okay, didn't know it was that hard :/
Low oxygen adds the same amount of difficulty regardless of the Hazard Level; you are often your own worst enemy. Low Oxygen is the enemy you know. It's highly manageable on any Hazard Level with an adjustment to play style and a coordinated team.
Mactera Plague scales with Hazard Level, meaning on Haz 5 it can get out of hand quickly. Mactera Plague is the tri-jaw behind you that you don't see while fighting all the ones in front of you that you do see...
Personally, I find Shield Disruption more difficult than Low Oxygen. Shields do a lot of work in mitigating actual damage taken. Every little jump that's just a bit too high now suddenly takes some HP off of you and Swarmers can shred you quickly instead of mostly being a nuisance
Shield disruption is terrible and I always forget to put on vampire/sweet tooth/resupplier
I like shield disruption more although I do think it is harder but oxygen and haunted feel annoying and like a chore rather than a modifier
Haunted Cave is only annoying if you're trying to stay in one tiny area for a while (like trying to complete a Machine Event, etc.). So many mission types allow you to keep moving, and Haunted Cave barely even matters if you just keep moving. Low Oxygen, on the other hand, tends to force you to slow down a bit. Also not a huge problem, but interesting that they both feel annoying to you. You want to play at your own pace -- which is totally understandable -- and these two modifiers tend to dictate what your pace can be. Shield Disruption doesn't really dictate a mission's pace, rather it at most dictates the pace of combat in the moment
Haunted drilldozer is miserable.
pretty sure that can’t happen
i’m also fairly certain if can’t appear on salvage
Yesterday I had the shortest mission in history. Joined late, stepped out of the personal pod, "Drop Pod Departing!" and up they went without me.
That happens when I host
I don't mind those people but I usually don't like being the one late joining and getting 12K xp in less than a minute
Eh, I took it as karmic payback for the previous mission where the host ran away after I went down and then just kicked me instead of reviving
Yikes
That’s a good perspective
People are weird but I played a GTA mission yesterday and remembered how good randoms in DRG are compared to most games
People def are weird sometimes, but yeah I've only met one or two actual buttholes on DRG
And I'm not counting people who toss explosives in the drop pod, because that's just good fun
I’ve met dozens but the vast majority are chill
Randoms actually make the missions easier, specially for secondary objectives and minerals
When the team works well together it's really satisfying
Yeah getting a scout for fossils comes in clutch
Yeah same and as scout I just eat the damage if I don’t have hb on yet cuz I know no one wants to get that fossil on the ceiling
Sometimes I feel like I need to join out of mercy due to things like that! Oh, you're doing a refining mission without a driller, a Point Extraction without a scout, etc
Yea precisely that, haunted cave is a non issue in most situations but when its one site refinery as a solo that mission is blanked out for me, but like you say even in morkite missions if I find a battery, machine event and a lot of veins in one room it stresses me out that I constantly have to move in weird directions to kite the ghost
Saw one yesterday evening. Pile of hell nope.
The gang
yes
really? iv been told it’s impossible. and i havnt ever seen it
it's impossible
I may be misremembering it, but it definitely looked like one.
i hate that ghost
to be fair, i hate the ghost too
I hate low oxygen
At least with the ghost, as long as you keep your eyes on that thing and pin it for yourself or teammate, that thing shouldn’t be a problem
Fuck the ghost
All my homies hate the ghost
I just updated the system software and now I can’t play online wtf
It doesn’t state the reason, just grayed out
im updating rn, ill see if it works for me
but it could have many reasons, maybe you didnt sign back into psn, maybe your ps+ has run out
I have ps+ for another year, maybe I’m signed out automatically, let me check
yea it does that sometimes after updates
ok doesnt work for me either
"no network connection available"
I’m signed in and it’s still greyed out 😦
Yeah I was just thinking that, maybe a couple of hours until they patch this, sigh
good it wasnt our' fault
their server status page doesnt show anything, but if i check on other websites that show if services like psn have issues its got a huge spike in the last half hour
yea something is wrong on psn's end
playstations status page is just bad, i cant even report the issue
the only thing i can report to them is online play being "bad"
not that its just not working at all
Till when do we have time to finish the Season pass before it goes away on Playstation?
well, time to solo grind a bit i guess, until playstation fixes their shit
probably until the end of April - we haven't announced a date yet. Be aware that all Season 1 cosmetics will be available through normal means in the game when Season 2 starts.
it only took playstation around 3 hours but they have finally realised that psn is not working
lets see how long it takes them to fix it
Wait the whole playstation network isnt working?
I thought it was just the drg servers or something lol
nope its psn
I can go on drg but i cannot select missions or host/join anything is this the psn problem?
Well that's just fun
is there a way to turn off mollys auto moving? if i park her somewhere i want her to stay where she is and not follow me
Nope! Molly is actually the subtlest of enemies
the reason i asked this was because she just pushed me off the edge of a cliff to my death
Yep! The subtlest of enemies
yea
A little nudge here, a little shot blockage there, and the occasional impediment in tight spaces. That's our Molly!
tbh bosko isnt much better tho
when i tell him to pick up something he lifts it so high up i cant get it from him
If you salute, Bosco will drop what he's holding, and if you shout, he'll toss it to you
The salute will drop it wherever he is, and the toss is only If you're close enough
i did not know bosco did that but hey, im glad i know it now
Yep, Bosco is a better teammate than most people, haha
Never talks back, does what you ask him to do
yea a bit
if he had a platform gun he'd be infinetly better than most engis
tho i do miss the rock and stone moments that multiplayer has
its not the same without teammates
Oh definitely not the same. This game shines brightest with teammates. It's just nice how viable solo-play can be as well
yea agreed
Press R3 to salute. L1 to ping/have Bosco toss whatever they're holding.
Anyone having troubles joining servers?
PSN still down?
Apparently
I didn't even know PSN was down
Ah. Yeah, think I saw some people on twitter saying it might have something to do with the new system update they pushed for PS5, but 🤷
I see
even if you have teammates with the IQ subpar to a brick it still makes for a fun round, but on days like this where psn decides to die i am thankful for bosco and how useful he is
and powerful too, i can play haz 3 and let him do all the work no problem
For some reason I thought you couldn't play DRG offline 🤔 time to work on those solo missions lol.
i didnt think so at first too but its great that you can
and you can even pause the game if you're solo which i really didnt expect
ok so i question i just remembered i had:
what happens if mollys path to the drop pod is blocked, with engis platforms for example,
will molly dig her way through or what will happen?
She will eventually teleport to the drop pod, when there's about 30 seconds left on the clock, if she doesn't have a way to get there or gets stuck
weird
Perhaps. The alternative would be less desirable, I think
To be fair, I'm pretty sure I've only seen it once in 4 years
i havent seen it ones
online play is working again, wOOOOOO
-spawn in
-see korlok weed
-see cargo crate
-see data deposit
this is gonna be a good mission i tell ya
You finished the pass or no?
im on it, level 93 rn i plan to finish today
Nice
what’s ur player level?
let me check when the mission is over
where’d you find how to pick a role for the class you play?
can’t find it in any of the channels
its in the welcome channel
ah i see now thanks
no problem
rn i think i’m player level 78? and i think pass level 140ish and i’m surprised when i see someone over player level 100
i only really started focusing on the pass when i was level 40 or so
im level 69 rn, nice
you know how much you’d have to play everyday to get that high?
it’s only been out on ps like 3 months now
the highest i saw was 23000+, but thats obviously fake
He has 25 days of playtime
jus wanna get 100 for scale brigade
i think i have like 6 or 7
gloomstalker mk3 soon tho 🥳
i dont really care too much about level, i just play and have fun
i just wanted to grind the pass to get lootbug
ye me too but i’ve recently started trying to platinum and i’m pretty close
The platinum takes a really long time
jus need gold promo and everyone and then 3 dwarves on silicate harvester
i couldnt do platinum, haz 4 is already too stessful for me and i dont even dare haz 5
yeah mainly cuz the gold promotions
I’m on my last promos for scout, driller and gunner so almost there
gets easier with trial and error me and my friend used to struggle a lot wit edd but now we usually get it 1st or 2nd try
Gets easier with overclocks too
229
damn
i dont any overclocks for my main yet and i dont have friends who play drg
down to play sometime my user is seth_fto
Sent a friend request
can add me too if you’d like
maybe some day, like i said before im still trying to get over the loss of the only proper friend i ever made online and im not ready to make new ones yet
but i appreciate the offer
ah lmk i don’t mind playing with others
For karl would be proud you could try 7 aquarq PE solo with bosco and kite the enemies as scout, that was the most recent trophy
Nice nice
finally the cargo crate gave me something for the scout
Tfw you see shards of pink in the terrain and know you don't need it for the trophy anymore 😢
its still good money tho
True, but the feeling's gone.
I got the trophy a long time ago and my feelings haven’t changed
I got downed twice last bittergem I got to make sure my teammates could participate
i have only found like 2 bittergems so far, so its gonna be a bit till i get the trophy
Richual with bittergem is why I play
i rarely see people do the richual
when i try to do it with them they just take it and stuff it into molly
i do too but alone most of the time
I’m always the one who finds it so I carry it back to my teammates and ping it a lot, most of the time at least one other dwarf insists on our financial security
Some greenbeards figure it out especially if multiple people ping it before them
Impossible to ping it solo lol, I guess, unless you run without Bosc.
no i mean i do it alone as in my team doesnt join in on the richual
The people I played with yesterday were ridiculous they did the richual with enor pearls and carried 2 like 150m to the host to make him ping them
Also host wanted to predrill but we didn’t have a driller so we mined all the way to the hearthstone
i mean enor pearls are cool and all but not worth the richual
I mean that mission was ridiculously over the top so it made sense in context
Also I joined as a driller but it switched me to scout for some reason, the ping arguments on how to pickaxe the tunnels honestly made it way more fun than it would’ve been
That’s lame
A couple times hosts reinvited me after dc’ing so I could get the goods
this one didnt
but whatever
in all likelyhood the crate would have just given me a 6th victory move for the gunner
I’m tryna get some neon bands but I keep getting victory moves
do salvage missions have a higher chance for lost equipment to spawn? i mean it would make sense considering that the story behind those missions is that dwarfs died in the cave
But that doesn't state your blue level will stop going up until you promote/use a character thats able to level up
sorry, for that late as heck reply. havent been looking at discord xD
Not lost equipment but they do have higher spawn rates for broken supply pods
Complexity increases chance of lost equipment for any mission
I think it’s like 1/10, 1/6 and 1/3 for complexities 1 2 and 3
broken supply pods?
They’re in the ground and you can repair them for 0-2 ammo supplies
I feel cheated when I get 0
It might be easier to find crates and gear on salvage missions because of the cave layout
is there any point to things like walleyes or the wind stone henge things that spawn sometimes?
or are they just deco?
yea with like an auro around them
Yeah
Half damage reduction for you and enemies inside
i kind of like the walleyes

dont judge me they look neat
but they walleyes dont harm anyone
They harm my privacy with their staring
The blue stones are pretty good for getting stealth bombed by exploders
If you need to go afk for a sec they’re a solid choice
Huh?
huh what?
You eat less damage from them and dread fireballs inside it, they saved my ass on a dd with exploder infestation
Ayo they brought back the og party system
?
Are those the blue stones in Azure Weald? cause I was wondering about those 🤔 they leave a blue swirly aura on you, and I wasn't really sure if it did anything.
Finally
Whole UX is still a fuckin' mess, it was pretty much perfect day 1 on PS4, then they kept adding shit.
The party system before they made you set up groups was so much better
Yep
The blue swirls from the weird stone formations in the Weald give a damage resistance buff to anything.
There’s another super cool and rare thing on weald but I won’t spoil it
Said thing is more common on escort
Nice, do you know how much? percentage?
50%
wdym?
Oof, really good, then 👍
I figured it was 50% given how I struggled with a dreadnaught while fighting inside the blue formation.
Why did the cocoon had to be just above it
Escort missions on weald have a higher chance for this thing to spawn in the environment with cool effects
Those I see a lot especially on point extract
i havent seen them ones
I feel like I’ve seen one on weald before but should’ve screenshotted it
Didn’t know it was possible but undocumented in other biomes
They’re pretty cool I wanna use them for refinery pipelines
god i hate it when my team calls in the drop pod before exploring all of the cave
like why
Prob just wanna get the mission over and done or the cave is cursed
Biozone mining complexity 3 has the most cursed shit I’ve ever seen and I wouldn’t blame anyone for wanting to leave
It took us 20 min to find the last two ebonuts
restarting the game for the second time because now the game has gotten so aggressive with wanting to make me play gunner that instead of giving me a choice of class or using the one i had selected on the spacerig, it just makes me a gunner
game:
i. will. not. play. gunner.
stop it
Gunner’s good tho I just solo’ed the edd with him
i dont find gunner fun
He’s a lot more mobile with dash and you can jump off cliffs and catch ziplines
Ziplines also can get you out of leeches and grabbers
Going up ziplines is the only part that isn’t fun
And macteras
i still dont like gunner and i like him less because the game wants me to play him so badly
Are Players available for the Car Pool Trophy? It is my last Trophy to Plat the Game
@light notch
I clicked on the Name instead of the Link sry 😏
A mod for zipline launcher to go faster when going up would be lovely..
we just found a compressed gold and a biggergem in the same place and did a full double richual
greatest moment in this game so far for me
i got the videoclip off it, ill probably post it later or tomorrow when i edited it down from 15min to like 30 seconds or so
gotta have prove after all or noone will believe that it actually happend
I believe it and in your financial security
oh im definetly financially secure after that
Yeah gunner is pretty stonk
Pics or it didn’t happen
will post the clip off it later today, gotta copy it from my ps4 first and edit it down
looking at it again i sadly cut the richual a bit short but it was late and i was tired, still a great moment tho
Ill touch your profile picture for good luck
what

?
what
what
huh
Me and the rando Engi, simpletons: set up platforms and a zipline to get to our downed teammate above.
Driller teammate, clearly the genius of the team: uses C4 to blow up the ground underneath said downed teammate, killing themselves in the process.
Love pubs lol.
His plans were beyond your understanding
He must've been so disappointed when I rez'd him 😄
Anus
that moment when you have to leave a deep dive because the lag is so bad it takes a full 30 seconds to throw a flare
Sounds like your typical driller.
I’ve done it a lot, they probably got that habit from racing scouts
I had an engineer die from fall damage after he had made a very safe way of getting up and down a cliff, there were no enemies and it was very easy to see
Clearly not safe enough and that also sounds like me
Sorry if it was weird didnt think it was this much of a cultural thing but in germany you think that good luck rubbs off of people so you rub their shoulder or smth when someone was really lucky and you want it as well
They were def distracted and scheming
im german too and i did not realise thats what you meant by it haha
Yea didnt translate as well apparently my bad
What did they reveal in the stream?
28th of April btw
Oh cool thankss
Mhm
Hmm?
A long way to go until them, which means more time to complete the bp
Ooh nice. Wish it were sooner, though. Up to 135 on the BP. Just whittling away the remaining trophies for the game 😓
You can always do with more creds 
I’ve just got legendary team and hosting 3 more games left
There's a trophy for hosting? I probably got that one right away, I never join games, always host for the most part.
Still need gold promotions, that'll likely be the best last one. Still need 500 missions, about 75% done that one. Only done 60 solo missions, that one's a salt mine morkite slog lol. And for 100% still need a DD speedrun and an EDD completion.
I completed one DD in 46 minutes once
Closest I got was 50 min solo. Never managed it in pubs.
I have a literal million credits and nothing to spend them on
Buy 11,764 Glyphid Slammers
tip it all to lloid
What do you think Lloyd does with his tips
he saves up to buy a doretta
Can I pay to install a toilet on the space rig? I've been holding it in for months
just "drop" a "barrel" into the launch bay
Isn't that what the hoop in the barrel game's also for?
:(
On a related note, I jumped into the launch bay when the drop pod was launching. The force field was off, so I just fell out of the station. That idea is actually feasible.
that did remind me tho, id love for more stuff to be added to the space rig
a shooting range would be great so we dont have to go into a mission to test a new weapon out
guess who just got 2 overclocks for the scout in the same mission but both are for a weapon i dont use
wait fuck that doesnt work
You can always do with more creds 
i hate speach
I just lagged out of a mission that had a data cell, lost equipment, that weird plant shard, AND infused matrix core on it. Fuck. Ayyyeee it kept the matrix core!!
yea even if you lag out you keep everything you collected
That's sooo awesome
i dont think you get the reward for the data cells tho
Nah, I didnt. That's on mission completion. I'm pushing to get Shock trooper before the new season.
well you still got a full month
100% worth 
New season is in april.. next month?
unless they delayed it.
They announced April 28th earlier today
yea you got plenty of time to finish it
pretty sure even if you just started now you could still finish it
I dunno, I started early January and I'm at (I think) level 220 for the season
Just do the daily assignment and you're golden
I'm like 2k xp from getting the loot bug lover pose. I've been playing DRG like crazy and have gone up a ton in the past like 5 days.
I was thinking the new season was on like the 3rd or something
i only properly started playing at the start of this month and im already past 100
so its definitely possible to do
yea in the past 2 weeks i got around 10 levels in the pass each day and a class promotion around every 2 or 3 days
ok 10 levels each day might be a bit exagerated
but i didnt definitely get 10 levels a day yesterday
went from 90 to 100
I was going to call you crazy, but then I realized it's about 2 weeks for me to promote all 4 characters and that works out to 3-4 days per
i did have 1 day where i went from scout level 5 to promotion because that day had double XP almost every cycle
Ok but that's a lot of playtime for the average person imo
Most people I play with we play for like 4-5 missions and this isn't even on a daily basis
I do a couple hours every day, which can be anywhere from 4-10 missions depending on the pace of things.
Like if it's just 7-piece point extractions with multiple scouts, that takes almost no time
Yea if its your main game is my main point, lots of my friends enjoy it a lot but only in doses, I enjoy it the most Id say but thats because its such a good game for me to watch Netflix on the side
I cannot fathom how you do that unless it's on low hazard level
There are so many audio cues in the game
I typically play on 3 which to me feels pretty "easy"
I feel like the increase you get from 4 is not worth it for me to put headphones on and 5 where it gets interesting is a hastle if I just wanna relax and grind
EDD and DD is usually enough for me a week to "tryhard"
Although DD is usually not to bad either
Yeah, Haz 3 is the perfect difficulty to play on while listening to music, podcasts in the background, or show on second screen.
Just got the scale brigade armour set. Wish I loved it more 😕 I like the minimalist armour from the shop the best, I think.
jesus christ EDD stage 2 was the most intense shit i have done yet
I have a screenshot of a jadiz, buttergem, and compressed gold deposit all bunched up together, taken moments before the session crashed
Does anybody here help with achievements? I want to plat this game but the only ones left are the multiplayer ones, and all my friends play on steam
Well, multiplayer ones and the hoop game one..
i just finished my first EDD
and holy fuck that was a ride
but im proud of myself, im the reason we made it
well me and a teammate
both stage 2 and 3 only me and him made it to the pod with almost no ammo and health left
Secret trophy and you get it after hosting 50 missions
congrats 
FOR ROCK AND STONE BROTHER
ok i know this kinda doesnt fit here but i seriously love DRG, the most fun game i have played in years
why does this not fit in here? 🤔
I also think its amazing such a cool concept, reeks of style and flavour and tons of ways to add to it
it really is
i will shamefully admit that i always thought dwarfs were kinda ugly and lame, but DRG has firmly changed my view on that and im now a huge fan of dwarfs
also yes the style is a huge part of why i love DRG, the slightly polygonal look is really cool and works so well for the game
Having great luck with some Drillers today. DD, stage 2, exploder infestation, buddy drills down the black box hack, everyone eats exploders, game over. Guy was also trying the plasma pistol mining thing and clearly mistiming it every shot 🙄 keep that reddit/youtube shit to private games or < haz 3 /rant
cud also be lag. It screws my timing as well sometimes
oh im glad the driller i had on my team was more competent
but speaking from me playing driller too, we are a bit stupid sometimes
only bunker of u know wut ur doing
you need an engi aswell for bunkering dont you?
True, could be, but I doubt it, myself.
to close up the hole
wdym?
you dig down with the black box/whatever else, that leaves a hole where it droped in
you need to close that up
or else enemys just come in
hmm, the one time i had someone on my team bunker us in it worked
non spawned inside and we were fully safe
if ur lucky ig
How exactly does it work? make a separate tunnel to kite enemies through (not the top of the bunker).
typically leave one entrance to kill bugs, it doesn’t matter wut direction as long as it has decent line of sight
Ah gotcha 👍 makes sense.
your at the mercy of rng then. And digging out on haz 5 means the entire swarm will be on top of u
full 60 bugs
true haz 5 makes it different
not to mention it’s even more boring then a typical bunker
i only do them if my team isn’t confident in their abilities
in that case the C4 of the driller could actually be good
cus bulks can always spawn
put it ontop before you go in and ones its done just kaboom the whole bunch of enemys into hell
ye it bunches them up a bit ig
idk why some ppl insist to make bunkers when bulks are on the spawn pool tho
yea thatd be super dumb
btw, is the dreadnought spawn on this weeks EDD stage 3 random or preset?
was it a cocoon or a random wave spawn
random spawn
yea, we did get the twins tho which i feel are the easiest
i feel the opposite haha
hmm
og dread is scary but he scales when teammates go down at least
so he gets weaker if teammates go down?
slower and if ur the only dwarf alive he gains the roar attack
ohh
where he stands still and roars for like 3 seconds
we didnt have that luckily, plus i have the perk that lets you insta revive which usually helps in that situation
if i have a gunner on my team i insta him and he'll shield us while we revive the other 2
also i think hiveguard is really easy but also really fricking long
yea hiveguards are easy but i dont find it fun to fight them
its just 3 times the same thing in a row, its a bit of a boring fight
the hardest thing about the fight is when you get the sentinel glitch 
-wait for sentinels to spawn
-kill sentinels
-shoot weak points
-run in and spam anything you got at the hiveguards opened up ass
-repeat x3
what glitch? where the last one doesnt spawn?
where they don’t spawn at all and you have to melee it repeatedly to aggro it
i never had that luckily
i only have it in edds lol
i didnt get any hiveguards in my EDD, the two dreadnoughts we got were the twins both times
rip
the scriped in stage 1 and the random in stage 3
both were not too bad
the one in stage 1 was worse than in stage 3 for some reason
might have been because the area was big and open which made the ranged attacks of them really bad
Sometimes I'll close up a bunker with others in it but stay outside myself so that bulks, oppressors, and such are drawn away
that seems like a good solution
i just noticed my progression:
weeks ago i only got 7 out of the 9 matrix cores because even after 10 attemps with different teams i couldnt get past EDD stage 1
last week i only got 8 cores because i couldnt get past EDD stage 2
and this week i got all 9 cores
i also noticed how much my aim has improved since i started playing with the M1000
What would you say helped the most in completing EDD? Right mix of teammates + communication? More playtime, getting used to the game at a higher difficulty? Fine tuning your loadout, getting the cores that worked best?
I didn’t win my first edd til level 50, promoting all the classes is great so you know their roles and how to help your teammates and what they should be capable of
Perks are important, some overclocks and builds can be super effective but clean oc’s do the job
Save nitra, use ammo efficiently and use iron will or medic
Kiting and taking out big groups of enemies at once will help
And haz 4’s with mutators or haz 5 missions are good practice
I'm level 100 and haven't even tried an edd yet 🤦 too much PTSD from Destiny 2's raid LFG, I think.
Thanks for the advice. I mainly use Scout and Gunner, know their strengths. I have a bit of a grasp of Engi and Driller, but haven't tinkered at all with either set up a whole lot, basically just copied over the perks I was using on my Scout lol. And yeah, I figured clean OCs are better than nothing.
Never even messed around with Iron Will yet. That's the one where if you go down, you can get back up and have a 10 second... second wind?
What do you think about the grunt possession perk? I see a lot of players, low and high level, always using it. Is it worth the slot? taking a grunt from a swarm and having a bot on your side, essentially?
I should start playing Haz 4 pubs more, I just didn't have a good experience with randoms when I did before.
Steeve on regen bugs will get his health back too so if that’s one of the mutators then it could help, he’s a decent backup for taking out those 2-3 grunts that you can’t prioritize
I use dash and iw/medic on all my classes except hoverboots on scout
Dash is insanely good to narrowly avoid death every 25s and turns getting swarmed by enemies into a tactical advantage cause you can get distance fast and hit them all with aoe
Also long jumps which can help with kiting and general traversal
With the Beast Master perk, try to grab a Grunt Guard as their natural resistances to multiple damage types will keep them around for a while, and they can often help to pull aggro quite nicely. They do some work and they can sometimes give you just a bit more breathing room. On Haz 5/EDD they're a bit less impressive as even the Guards don't last very long, but not useless
Iron Will is a nice second chance. If you can use it to get someone else on their feet, you're potentially back in the fight. And if you get health (Red Sugar, Ammo Resupply, Vampire Perk) before the second wind runs out, you stay up yourself
Hover on Scout? for unfortunate grapples? Never considered it. But yeah, dash I have on my Gunner, soo good 👌
And yeah, kiting swarms around awkward terrain is good for shaving a second or two off that gap between them and you, PvE 101.
I think always trying to do a careful grapple is way better than a situational perk, like the hover, but go with what feels good for you
I'm going to try that out, too! Always figured slasher would be better for damage, but on higher difficulties, like you said, they're frail, might be best to get as much time out of them as you can.
I read that here a day or two ago, probably you said it lol, but yeah, never knew when in IW and getting health back that you can stay alive, probably makes it very nice if you know the layout of the area you're in/have a resupply nearby 👍
If you can see some Red Sugar , or know it's close, it's a game changer. Or if your teammates are close. If you can get someone else up, even if you don't get health before dropping again, they can potentially get you right back up too. It's another situational perk (never need Iron Will if you never go down, right?), but on Haz 5/EDD you're at your highest risk of getting downed. It can (and has!) save a 3rd Stage EDD from failure
Very good points, thank you both @eager herald @mossy hatch for the advice, really appreciate it
just gotta put it into practice 😅
Anytime!
This also lets you mine anything. Grapple to ore vein, immediately hover, carve out 2 blocks and grapple in before hover runs out. Or grabbing those Apoca Blooms...
you press back and hold forward
or press S and hold W
Ty, all these strange commands for keyboard
Will anyone help me achieve the car pool trophy later today please?
Good teammates and me being better at the game than i was 2 weeks ago.
I still dont have a core for my main weapon and we didnt use vc
Being able to pause the game in solo missions 😌👌
yea its really nice
I cant wait for it, i hope the pc players dont spoil everything tho.
Gonna have to stay clear of the subreddit from the 28th till the 5th
Have every weapon and equipment upgrade on each Dwarf bought... except for over a dozen that require Magnite 
Anyone else have that one mat that they're always low on?
for me its enor pearls
I always have difficulty keeping enor pearls in a sustainable supply
I always lack jadiz
It's always Magnite for me
Enor pearls for me
Although for some reason I'm struggling with bismor at the moment
It has a different shape than the other mineable resources and is on hollow bough and biozone, both of which are hard to look for stuff or reach it
It’s very missable so I had to do some mineral mania
way too many young kids are playing this game on playstation
every second person i hear usuing voicechat sounds like they're 8
It's funny you mentioned it, cause yesterday I was doing the scale brigade assignment, and the last mission, with 3x dreadnaughts, I was host and only got one person that joined my game, their mic was on and I could hear a kid giggling, like, what? no one else, just this kid. Maybe there's a parent playing with their kid in their lap or next to them, but whoever was playing was doing some weird stuff, like if I turned to them and saw what they were doing, it was clear that they were trying out different buttons, tapping ping, throwing all their nades. At one point they went down, I went to revive them, and on my way back through the tunnel I took to get to them, I got pinned by them and molly, and all I hear at that point is this kid laughing at me. Then they call in 2 ammo resupplies in a row... START TAKING ALL THE AMMO, ONE SIDE AFTER THE OTHER. It has to be just this kid playing 😑 had to finish that 3x dreadnaught mission with barely any ammo, and had to keep nitra to myself before depositing and trying another dreadnaught (yes, I know I could've kicked...)
TL;DR wth parents out there?! also, the dwarves in this game don't always use some nice language lol.
i mean there are worse games for kids to play out there but this is not a game for young kids to play
