[mellow raft]

This deep dive is a good easy one to start on

[harsh palm]

Hi all, Did the hiveguard had a damage buff?

Haz5?

[thorny perch]

Only change was the rock attack when the 3 vent things were destroyed

Rocks actually do damage now

[neon gorge]

the rock attack was bugged a long time ago

they fixed that

[harsh palm]

So now hiveguard is doing damage as it supposed to be?

[neon gorge]

yep. The rocks barely scratched ur shield before

[harsh palm]

I see. Me and my whole team died because we got silly on the edd hiveguard. We laughed and figured it was buff/fixed. Thanks for the info.

[neon gorge]

best way to avoid it is to be on a higher elevation or stand in between the rocks

[harsh palm]

Yep. 150ish rank rn. We are just having fun with it trying to pickaxe our way to the exposed parts lol

[neon gorge]

wudnt recommend that lol

[stoic turret]

I realize

[mellow raft]

you were just like Karl

[stoic turret]

trying too make history

[mellow raft]

That doesn't rhyme

[stoic turret]

Well how tf am I supposed too make it rhyme from karl while making it still sound like the somg

[mellow raft]

"Trying not to snarl"

"As I judge the leaf lovers"

[split hatch]

@neon gorge That's what I thought. Someone on Reddit said to use Ice Storm, you barely notice the loss of freeze power but get a nice damage bump & I was like ummm

[novel storm]

Yea that works to but that's if you have it, also it's pretty ammo hungry

[split hatch]

I have that & Ice Spear for Cryo Cannon. Hoping to get the ummm snowball one.

[magic sluice]

i just had the boss bar for 3 prospectors at ones

that cant be right

[untold dove]

Boys I was running the EDD last night, was on the third stage. A bulk det appeared with two guys down. I managed to kill the det (then the game crashed immediately after)

Long story short: pain

I just went to bed after that

[grizzled meadow]

It feel so bad playing as Engineer after playing Scount from 1 to 25 :(

[calm condor]

I have gunner promoted and the rest of my guys are around level 12 and 13

[untold dove]

Once you get all of em promoted once the game gets a lot earier

easier*

Lvl 120 speaking lol

[jagged sequoia]

I can imagine
I still need to level up the other dwarves

[mellow raft]

Once you get everybody set up with good OCs you can just jump in with whoever is needed and it goes much more smoothly

[split talon]

Yeehaw

[magic sluice]

the game just didnt save an hour or so of my progess yesterday

annoying, but i also got a blank core back so thats cool

[lime perch]

Hello, i still need the car pool trophy on ps4 where all 4 players need to ride on a silicate harvester and i have to kill 5 enemies while doing it. Anyone up to help?

[warm adder]

If anyones want s to do haz 4-5 missions dm me

[ancient swan]

tomorrow maybe i'll be able

[magic sluice]

im about to promote engineer as my last class, here's some thoughts:
engi is horrible to start off with, his shotgun has ok damage but way too slow reload and the grenade launcher has too little ammo at first.
with full perks the shotgun is really good but i prefere the smart rifle
his turrets are still annoying to be but i kinda got used to them

[wise kiln]

Yay! got my first EDD completion shame our Driller had to leave half way through Stage 2, though ☹️

Funny detail: most of our deaths came in the first two stages. Once we were on Stage 3 we were golden 💪 the Macteras weren't actually as bad as I thought they'd be. Biggest hurdle was the terrain, by far; a lot of verticality, a lot of deaths by falls lol.

[silver terrace]

Anyway to improve frames on ps4 apart from changing to performance,I’m getting 10-20 frames on some swarms for just haz 2

[split hatch]

My biggest problem class is Scout. I like the idea of having so much mobility, but using most of the techs I feel like I need to play on keyboard & mouse to be able to whip the aim around fast enough

[vagrant quiver]

Any active lfg groups on PlayStation ?

[magic sluice]

they're all pointy eared leaf lovers

[spare roost]

Anyone wanna do EDD

[somber harness]

Get the dust cleaned inside

[calm condor]

@ivory sapphire im open to do a deep dive tonight if your up for it

[calm condor]

Gamer tag raistlin121

[ivory sapphire]

Not feeling too well today, probably not gonna be on for a few days

[calm condor]

Ok

[ivory sapphire]

But I'll add u once I'm back

Thx

[drifting sail]

Drop pod took out a Huuli Hoarder loading the level.

[mellow raft]

Drank an embarrassing amount of Leaf Lover's Special to finish that up

[sweet ginkgo]

@drifting sail deep dive elite lol tell me how you do 🤣

Anyone want to help me with the elite deep dive mission 😫

[covert valve]

hello

anyone?

[raven token]

hello

[sweet ginkgo]

@covert valve hello

[drifting sail]

Haven't done this week yet. Why?

[sweet ginkgo]

Good luck 😂😂😂

[supple yacht]

OMG so there's literally no one playing this game on ps4

It's all pc

[magic sluice]

?

[supple yacht]

My bad i thought nobody would answer lol

[drifting sail]

Absolutely brutal. On phase 3 and idk this shield disruption.

Nailed another hoarder coming in on phase1 tho.

Wtf another Huuli Hoarder was under phase3 pod. Wtf is going on?

[magic sluice]

i gave the EDD this week one try, whole team was dead on stage 2 within 2 minutes because right outside the pod was about 30 or so macteras

[drifting sail]

Driller makes a hole and it's easy

Funnel flying bugs into a tight space and light 'em up

[magic sluice]

not if the driller doesnt even make it off the ramp before getting hit by 5 shots

[drifting sail]

Dash ftw

I saw them coming in and sprinted as soon as the gate cleared 🤣

[magic sluice]

noone on my team knew what was coming and we were all low health already

[drifting sail]

This chip thorns damage is relentless

Welp, the end. @sweet ginkgo 2/3

[wise kiln]

Scout with cryo nade low-key MVP this week in EDD 😎 had some fat Mactera deletes on Stage 2 🙌

Engi turrets were also clutch

[spare roost]

Any up for EDD

[glass fox]

Who wants to play deep rock with me

[violet elm]

Any one playing DRG in middle East region

[violet elm]

This week EDD I went up against 4 detanators n one Dreadnought swarm at the end

[covert valve]

So far I hate this weeks EDD.

people seem to just randomly leave 5 minutes in

[ashen ravine]

I got DCd 5 mins in

[covert valve]

I give up on this weeks EDD. impossible with randoms lol

[calm condor]

Im good to go this week i dont have alot going on. But tonight no i got way to much on my plate lol

[neon gorge]

i feel like these problems solve each other

[violet elm]

Not exactly the last Dreadnought tht I fought was on the way out. We called in the drop pod n thn mission control said something big is heading towards u turned out to be a Dreadnought 💀

[neon gorge]

what type was it

[violet elm]

Twins

💀💀

The worst of the bunch

[neon gorge]

ye thats pretty bad

[violet elm]

Honestly if ur planning to do edd u can do it wit just two ppl. This week EDD ain't tht bad

[novel storm]

If you play driller use cryo. It's very good this week

[covert valve]

The biggest issue that I have is that I don't have a super great overclocks yet and when the other person/people start dying I struggle a bit to carry them. I'm fine in Stage 1 - it's stage 2 where it falls apart

[covert valve]

Gunner is Life ;)

[novel storm]

That too

[covert valve]

Yah. The missiles clear the flying swarms pretty easily. Just damage a tad low vs the dread. Tho the Burst gun lead storm or whatever OC it's called does decent DPS if I can hit a things weakpoint

[novel storm]

Lead spray I think

Hoping I get that

[violet elm]

Honestly for DD u dnt really need overclocks they r pretty easy if ur doing edd thn surely u need overclocks

[lime perch]

In around 45 minutes ill be online and i still need help with the car pool trophy. If someone wants to help, or needs the trophy too add me

New cosmetic

[novel storm]

Lovely

[wise kiln]

Not really digging it. Hopefully the seasonal rewards are more to my liking.

[magic sluice]

the dlc seems like the armor that fits to season 1s weapon frameworks.
im not a huge fan either but dont gotta buy it if i dont like it

[thorny perch]

Buy it

[magic sluice]

nah i already bought like 3 of the dlcs

[light notch]

buy everything else

capitalism

[magic sluice]

nah i cant affort it

[novel storm]

I might buy everything

[wise kiln]

I resent the price disparity of the DLC on the PS Store vs Steam

[magic sluice]

how much do they cost on steam?

[wise kiln]

Few bucks difference for each. Price is in CAD for me.

[magic sluice]

thats the same price as on ps4 tho

[light notch]

Are your prices on the ps store in a different currency?

[magic sluice]

yea in euro, but i checked steam myself and its 7.99 there and on the ps store

[wise kiln]

Weird, must be regional pricing, then. Glad at least EU gets same price as PC.

[magic sluice]

how much does it cost on ps4 in america?

or canada in your case

[magic sluice]

huh

weird

probably something to do with playstation and not drg

[wise kiln]

Unless, for some reason, PS5 and PS4 are priced differently?

[magic sluice]

i doubt it, the store is the same im pretty sure

[wise kiln]

Yeah, I didn't think so. And yeah, Sony have a "tax" for a lot of stuff on their platform now. Seeing a lot of dollar differences on PS Store vs Steam, 3rd party digital storefronts, and even Nintendo eShop. Sony greed, as usual.

[magic sluice]

nah it most be something to do with tax laws in the US or canade since its not a thing in europe

[novel storm]

Gonna get the ultimate upgrade, saves me money

[wise kiln]

Either Sony are skimming off their storefront in my region, or other platforms aren't being taxed correctly, which isn't the case, cause Steam, eShop, etc. all have provincial taxes added on purchases. Sony are charging more for select titles and DLC ON TOP of provincial tax. It's fucked up.

[violet elm]

I hope they add new glyphids

Perhaps a new Dreadnought type

[thorny perch]

More enemy variants of enemies will be added hopefully not all of them will be robots.

Idk if they’ll add a new dread anytime soon

It would be cool to get just more boss like enemies in general like the tyrant and etc

[violet elm]

Care taker is enough

[thorny perch]

Idk

Caretaker is an alright addition but it’s easy to cheese

And I’m more so talking about boss types that spawn randomly

[violet elm]

Well even the new season looks robot themed

[thorny perch]

It prob will be robot themed. But I hope they don’t focus entirely on robots let’s say season 3

[violet elm]

I want more lore abt karl

[thorny perch]

Honestly the robots won’t be bad additions if they can make them just more complex

[violet elm]

The thing is they dnt effect DD or edd

[thorny perch]

True

[violet elm]

I really hope they increase the number of mobs spawn

Sometimes the map just feels empty

[novel storm]

In haz5 it's fine, they keep spawning every once and then

Or you mean the passive ones

[wise kiln]

Was gonna say, spawns seem alright atm? I think I heard DRG described once as 1/3 combat, 1/3 exploring, and 1/3 mining, and that seems like an accurate and also fine ratio for the most part. Maybe 1/2 combat on Haz 4+

[violet elm]

Haz 5 is fine but below tht the spawns feels limited

[novel storm]

Yea I guess

Rarely any ambient waves

[violet elm]

Wht I mean is it doesn't feels right

[novel storm]

I get that

[violet elm]

Just feels like everything is vry timed

For example the egg mission

Whn u remove eggs thn only things spawn

[novel storm]

It depends on mission but in that case yes the swarms rely on that

[violet elm]

I enjoy the game whn unexpected things occure

I remember in my edd they sent a Dreadnought as a swarm

It was unexpected

But vry fun m scary

[novel storm]

Yes I got that at the very beginning

Pretty fun

Too bad I died at the end of the edd

But I'm not doing that again

[mossy hatch]

If unexpected things occurred more often, they would quickly lose their surprise factor and their meaningful moments. It can be a hard balance to maintain

[magic sluice]

i think we're almost guaranteed to get one, the "robot dwarf" thing we got a teaser of gives off random boss vibes

[magic sluice]

go to higher haz levels, spawns depend on that

what would be cool would be new modifiers for the missions, good and bad ones.
could solve your problem too by making one that just increases the spawnrates of enemys

[violet elm]

Not on just edd

In general all missions

[magic sluice]

random dread spawns can happen on normal missions too

its just really rare

[covert valve]

[drifting sail]

Swarmageddon?

Double XP + Swarm one of my favorites.

[magic sluice]

swarmageddon only makes swarmers spawn more, not all enemys

[drifting sail]

You get plenty of grunts too. Point is, that's how you get more bugs.

[magic sluice]

but thats not because of swarmageddon, swarmageddon only spawns more swarmers

[drifting sail]

👍

[surreal cipher]

Anyone know when the next season starts? I've currently stopped playing as ive run out of stuff to do and unlock 😅 apart from very slowly getting matrix cores of course

[magic sluice]

5th of next month on consoles
28th of this month on pc

but i think next week or so the easter event comes out aswel

[grizzled meadow]

I sincerly hope they do something to wipe off this trash private server mechanics. It litterally ruin the multiplayer experience. We need some matchmaking or theyr own servers cause trash people who disconnect after 30min mission is the worst thing ever

[mossy hatch]

It seems incredibly unlikely they'd change this from a peer-to-peer game to a server-based game. It would require a ton of work, not to mention the added cost of running servers. The only potential option I could see would be to implement host migration, but that would also be a ton of work. I have to imagine it would need to be a significant problem that was making the game unplayable for a significant number of people across all platforms before something so drastic would be considered.
It's definitely frustrating when that happens. I don't get the impression that it happens a lot, but it's also hard to tell except by what's mentioned anecdotally

[magic sluice]

players disconnecting or leaving shouldnt really be an issue outside of Deep Dives anyways since other plays can join to take their place.
and its pretty rare for the host to disconnect or leave

plus you can eliminate the host issue by hosting the missions yourself

[mossy hatch]

Yep, you can always choose to be the host, and that greatly reduces the unknown elements in the equation

[magic sluice]

yep, and if someone leaves its either close to the end of the mission and it doesnt matter anymore or its long enough left that another play will join and replace the one that left

and yea its annoying when you yourself disconnect out of nowhere, but that can happen on proper servers aswell

[mossy hatch]

And if no one joins right away, or everyone else disconnects, Bosco always comes along to keep you company

[magic sluice]

yea that too

[fluid echo]

aight so which class do yall think plays the dumbest

in the player base as a whole

[magic sluice]

either engi or driller, with engi its more useless stupidity and with the driller its dangerous stupidity thanks to his C4.
but that might just be that engi and driller make it more obvious, i think the playerbase is pretty balanced overall

[wise kiln]

Drillers. Dumbest mfs I see in pubs by far. It's the class that enables douchebags more than any of the others. Amazing kit if played well and with the team in mind, but that isn't always the case from what I've seen.

[magic sluice]

yea driller makes stupid players a really danger too the team

[lost lion]

Hey guys

Kinda bored...

[wise kiln]

The gurren lagann reference is so 👌

[rocky vapor]

Is there any way to get my data transfered from PS4 to PC?

[soft sentinel]

Meanwhile I'm a dumb player yeeting myself toward the ceiling as scout to smack the wall to get Jadiz

[magic sluice]

every class has equally stupid players but engi and driller make it more obvious, and driller makes it dangerous to the team

gunner and scout are kinda just a danger to themselfs

[soft sentinel]

Their explosives are a danger to everyone, Im a hazard to myself

Rock and Stone

[magic sluice]

exectly my point, gunner has explosives too but his grenades arent strong enough to kill a dwarf at full health in one shot.
drillers C4 however is strong enough for that

[magic sluice]

If you dont Rock and Stone smack yourself into a wall as a scout and fall to your death you aint comin home!

[soft sentinel]

ROCK ON!! I can't feel my beard.. HEELP

[magic sluice]

your beard is still stuck on that wall

[soft sentinel]

omg imagine if you could get so hard it'd knock your beard off.. Devs plz add it in

[magic sluice]

it'd have to be a temporary thing tho, like your beard would need to be back ones you get to the space rig

but it might be a cool thing yea

[soft sentinel]

Joke-y stuff like that is always fun in games.

[magic sluice]

it'd fit in like an april fools update maybe

[soft sentinel]

After all dwarves reproduce using the beards. Dwarf loses beard, new dwarf forms from beard, new dwarf joins ranks on the space rig

The Circle of Rock and Stone

[magic sluice]

hmm

[soft sentinel]

Not lore accurate at all. saw something joking that forever ago and found it funny

🎉 Language patch out now 🎉

New supported languages:

• Finnish 🇫🇮
• Hungarian 🇭🇺

• Turkish 🇹🇷 (İıIi)
• Dutch 🇳🇱

Trophy progress should now work as intended and you should now get some trophies unlocked retroactively when you trigger their unlock condition if you have transferred progress from PS4 to PS5

(For example: if you have completed 100 solo missions before transferring saves to ps5, completing 1 more solo mission should unlock your trophy)

We’ve moved some barrels, now they shouldn’t fall into the launch bay unless someone kicks them.

🥚 **Some secrets that you can eggsplore starting tomorrow at 19:00 CET (April 7th) (13:00 EST, April 8th 02:00 JST)**🥚

[magic sluice]

egg time

[wise kiln]

"moved some barrels"

[worn harness]

Oh yeah, the barrels should also be moved in this patch, good catch

[magic sluice]

huh?

[worn harness]

No more angry mission control when you enter the spacerig

[velvet magnet]

The devs plans are beyond our understanding

[magic sluice]

ohh that, yea i thoughed that was just an issue on my save file since i didnt have that issue on another account

[mellow raft]

How does retroactive trophy progress apply to something like "Get 3000 points with 100 barrels" or "Do a deep dive in under 45 minutes"? You just need to do the barrel game and a deep dive, or you need to meet the specific condition again?

[umbral pasture]

My alien artifacts have been stuck at 3/5 for a very long time now. Hopefully the trophy will unlock with the next 1 or 2 artifacts.

[lost lion]

Hey guys

[covert valve]

Love the avatar
Ratchet is a G

[late sinew]

Can you confirm it has been fixed?

[light notch]

(but brazillian version)

Damn you Axel, you don't need to hurt me like that

[harsh palm]

Mine is 14 lol

trophy still didn't popped. Just waiting for them to fix it sooner.

[umbral pasture]

I can confirm that just starting the game and opening the terminal which shows how many error cubes you found (I have 16 in total) does not trigger the trophy.

[late sinew]

Maybe only when you get one more

[river salmon]

Hey, I have a question. I started playing DRG on playstation but all my friends play on PC. So now I have the PC version but I'm starting back at level 1. Is there any way to transfer my progression from my PS5 to my PC?

[magic sluice]

no, sadly not

[raw garden]

way more tiny things other than language got changed it seems though. game feels more intense now

or am i tripping lol

[vapid axle]

Yes, the barrel placement changes make this game almost unrecognisably different.

[reef skiff]

Game acting weird today for anyone?

[light notch]

Define "weird".

[wooden owl]

When new season coming out

[modern cobalt]

@wooden owl It'll be dropping on April 28th, there is an announcements channel you can check under info btw

[wooden owl]

Bruhhh

Thought it was gonna be early April

[elder swallow]

doesnt the update come a week later for console?

so its may 5 iirc

[drifting sail]

I'm gonna miss the angry management each time... Can they yell sometimes, at least? For old times sake?

[modern cobalt]

@elder swallow. Of course, yes you're right it's May 5th on console.. So seems it'll be early May instead @wooden owl 😅

[eager bone]

Yes, it was indeed fixed

I can now resume the grind

[ivory knoll]

Anyone on SA want to play?

[tough marsh]

3000 barrels did pop for me finally when I hitted like 10 barrels. So I didn't have to redo it all.

[sand apex]

Hello guys. Anybody knows how trophies work with save transfer from PS4 to PS5?

If I get the platinum on PS4 it will auto pop on PS5?

[slim jacinth]

Hey I've been playing this game for a while and it's a lot of fun, but yesterday I did the requirements for two trophies and they didn't unlock. I was in a friend's session and he got them both. It was the one for being 1 hour in a mission and grinding a rail for 2 mins. The other day I also did the requirements for throwing a mug through the hoop and killing yourself there while drunk and they didn't unlock either. Is their a workaround for this or am I just screwed?

[elder swallow]

they just released a patch for this no?

[slim jacinth]

This occured yesterday

So if they did it broke my trophies I guess

Forgot to mention it's on PS5

[tight beacon]

i tested that myself, so i know it works, maybe something else is going on? like a delay or not being signed or something?

[slim jacinth]

I was in a friend's session

He got them both like I mentioned

[tight beacon]

the mug throwing thing

[slim jacinth]

That one I haven't tried again to see if it works

I'll try tonight, but the other two were literally yesterday after 11pm gmt

[late sinew]

I'm trying to redo the requirements for Party Time! trophy as mine got bugged and didn't unlock, I'm organazing a session for today at 9 PM UTC and need more players

[magic sluice]

the turret hud display for engi is gone for me

[novel storm]

Happens sometimes

[grizzled meadow]

Since there are local save file, there are also cheaters, modders and fake levels? Can you edit the save file in some way?

[magic sluice]

yea, no idea how tho

but i've seen a level 23000+

which is clearly fake

[proper lily]

Anyone knows when egg event goes live 🤔

It may be a stupid question but I aint excatly the Smart one 😂

[thorny perch]

I know it’s 1pm for est

[proper lily]

Re chcecked patch notes it says 7 cet so less than 2hrs, thanks for reply 💪

[magic sluice]

this game really doesnt want to give me any overclocks i want now does it

[silent meteor]

Part of the fun!

[magic sluice]

?

[neon gorge]

what do you have

[magic sluice]

wdym?

i cant list every overclock i have

[neon gorge]

You might have things that are a lot better/ fun then you think

why not

[magic sluice]

thats not my issue tho

my issue is that i select scout and gunner every time i use a blank core and i get plenty of overclocks for them, but i get them for weapons i dont use

i have like 5 for the revolver and the plasma rifle, i dont use either of them

[neon gorge]

why not use them

[magic sluice]

i do use the M1000 and the rocket system and i dont have any for them

[neon gorge]

if you have 5 for the revolver you probably have magic bullets, six shooter, homebrew, or volatile, which are all pretty fun

[neon gorge]

m1000 doesn’t really need ocs at least

[magic sluice]

i dont even mind the revolver but i prefere the brt, but the plasma rifle i hate

yea but still, its kinda discouraging when even after 3 weeks of trying to get any overclocks for them i havent gotten a single one

[neon gorge]

i’d strongly recommend giving drak another shot. It’s one of the best designed guns in the game

[neon gorge]

you have a lot of builds you cud try with the revolver. Are you familiar with how magic bullets is usually built?

[magic sluice]

i tried it but i just dont like how it handles at all, i like my scout as a sniper but the plasma rifle just feels horible to use

[neon gorge]

how did you build it

[neon gorge]

it can potentially reach higher dps then minigun and will pretty much always have more ammo then gk2

[magic sluice]

improved thermals
increased particle density
custom coil aslignment
plasma splasH
manual heat dumb
and thermal liquid coolant as OC

but thats not my point

i dont want to use the plasma rifle, even if i have good OCs for it

[neon gorge]

Sadge

oh wait hold on i see the problem

[magic sluice]

i think the M1000 and the rocket system are the only guns i havent gotten any OCs for yet, which is really annoying because they're my favourit guns

[neon gorge]

you used plasma splash?

why

[magic sluice]

cause i like dealing damage to groups of enemys

[neon gorge]

the aoe is tiny. It’s only good with bouncy bullet oc cus you can double the splash dmg

aoe just ends up lowering ur damage overall

[magic sluice]

doesnt matter, i dont use it

[neon gorge]

the good thing about m1 is that ocs don’t really improve it all that much

cus it’s already dummy strong

[magic sluice]

i know but still, the game just keeps giving me shit i dont want and not a single one i do want

[neon gorge]

Ig im just one of the few ppl willing to try whatever the game throws at me

[magic sluice]

i tried the weapons and i didnt like them, i might try to revolver tho idk

[neon gorge]

do you have mb

[magic sluice]

didnt check

but i dont think so

[neon gorge]

six shooter and homebrew are also pretty fun

elephant rounds is decent but less ammo efficient on spitters

[magic sluice]

pretty sure i got six shouter

[neon gorge]

volatile is dummy strong and can 5 shot a bulk i think

[magic sluice]

i think i have volatile too

[neon gorge]

300% damage is pretty sweet

and it doesn’t ruin web spitters breakpoint as long as you hit 60dmg

[magic sluice]

but isnt that only to already burning targets?

[neon gorge]

yep

and it’s applied as fire dmg

[dusky thunder]

Does anyone has a trophy glitch on Ps after update? I did the Legendary team and it’s tuck still on 75% on PS5

[magic sluice]

doesnt that make it weaker against normal enemys?

[neon gorge]

like i said, it still hits web spitters breakpoints with a dmg mod

idk what other ‘regular enemies’ you use the revolver on

[magic sluice]

fair point

i think ill try that out

[neon gorge]

it works best with burning hell with minigun, but if you don’t have that, hot bullets can help you proc it

[magic sluice]

is there like a flaming bullet thingy for the hurricane?

[neon gorge]

ye but it doesn’t light things on fire that fast without salvo

[magic sluice]

33%, so 3 hits will set it on fire im guessing

[neon gorge]

it takes awhile to set things on fire

[neon gorge]

33% means thats how much of the guns damage will be converted to heat dmg

some enemies have a high threshold to be set on fire

[magic sluice]

hmm

id use the minigun but it does too little damage for how much ammo it uses, or at least i feels like that

well i got lucky enough to get a bulk in the first round, the revolver does less damage to the bulk than the brt does

[magic sluice]

mine is only 25 and the highest i can push it too by changing the perks is 35

wait no, bruh im dumb

[wise kiln]

Trying out the mini-nuke on the Engi GL today, lol so dumb but fun. Anyone recommend any other fun overclocks for weapons? I think I have the icicle one for the Driller, but can't think of many others. I also have the hover for Scout SR which is fun.

[light notch]

For engineer, hyperpropellant for an extremely effective single-target weapon, and rj250 for discount scout

[magic sluice]

the flame missiles seem to be not that bad, they set anything i tried them on ablaze in like 3-4 shots

[mellow raft]

You can't beat it for fun

[neon gorge]

ig if u take fire rate its fairly fast

[magic sluice]

its not instant but not much slower than the flamethrower of the driller either

[drifting sail]

Goo Bomber Special, Spinning Death... drawing things with Sticky Flames.

Also that scout one that turns shotgun into extra jumps.

[wise kiln]

Gonna see if I have any of these and try 'em out. Thanks for the suggestions, fellas 🤘

[magic sluice]

ok so the revolver can definitely 4 shot a bulk on haz 3 if:
the damage is at 60+
the bulk is burning
you hit its weak spots with each shot

did the broken drop pods always have such bright blinking lights?

[soft sentinel]

Yeaaaa. I want those. Give my Nuk17s some more punch

Since I got bouncy bullets for the plasma carbine I barely use them anymore. but in recent missions I've used the nuk17s to clear out enemys that attck in between swarms

This week's edd was ez

Let's hope nxt week they add something challenging

[mossy hatch]

The Deep Dives are random seeds, as far as I'm aware. There is no "adding" anything to them, just like the regular missions. Unlike the regular missions which change the seed each time you start a mission (even if it is the same mission you just completed), the Deep Dive seeds remain static all week until Thursdays

[violet elm]

Hmm let's hope we get a challenging seed thn

[drifting sail]

Bunker boi loves a few repellant platforms above, but not too many or bugs ignore and go right over. Proximity mines on sides and turret in front. Shotgun Turret Whip is great. Gemini are ammo fiends.

[hard haven]

Anyone been able to do the deep dive? Can't get past the second part

[hard haven]

It's Ridiculous, tried it about 7 times, honestly not fun at this point, mactera plague is the worst modifier :(

[drifting sail]

Finished it earlier on cryo driller, was nbd.

Just don't fight Mactera in big rooms and it goes a lot better. It's always the Tri-Jaw BEHIND you that's the worst.

And the Hiveguard + Bulk Detonator on phase 3... But those problems solve themselves.

Unfortunately, seems like "Legendary Miner" (500 missions) is broken right now. On PS5, the counter in trophy list gets stuck while the in-game statistics work as expected. Hopefully this is an easy fix for you guys.

[covert valve]

Anyone wanna do Car Pool trophy?

[magic sluice]

i gave the DRAK another try today, and its still just bad, i have put every damage upgrade on it that i can and still it takes all 800 of my ammo just to survive a single swarm on haz 3

[drifting sail]

Wut. How?

[magic sluice]

im asking that myself, but its how it is

i played 2 missions on haz 3 and both times i was out of ammo or almost out of ammo after the first swarm

and that wasnt me just shooting at everything, that was just to keep myself alive

[wise kiln]

Oof, that's unfortunate. My Scout bosses with the Drak.

Trying to think of the perks I use... maybe 21212 + Thermal Exhaust Feedback. Above 50% it deletes all the grunts, spitters, and most mactera like nothing else. The key to the gun, really, is trying not to let it overheat.

[magic sluice]

i have it 32131 with thermal liquid coolant

i didnt let it overheat, it still just took 800 rounds of ammo and did almost no damage with it

[wise kiln]

Complete opposite to what I have, then 😅

I'm honestly still not sure what manual heat dump does, and at least with the other T5 perk, the faster RoF helps the DPS a lot.

I also have in T4 the +20% chance to electrocute > armor piercing, not only cause I carry the shotty for armor breaks, but faster RoF guns really benefit from status proc'ing. I also personally think you'll almost always get better mileage on things with 1. more ammo, and 2. better cooling.

[magic sluice]

the reason i have velocity on T1 instead of cooling is because thanks to the OC the cooling is already great

if i stop firing it cools to 0 almost instantly

so as long as i fire in bursts it never overheats

[wise kiln]

Yeah, that's fair. I'd try out the cooling, though, cause it's effectively a bigger clip/longer sustained fire if you can compensate for slower projectile speed aka anticipating enemy movement.

[magic sluice]

clip size isnt really my issue at all, its mainly just that the gun does almost no damage.
which is super weird because if i run the numbers it should be a bit stonger than the M1000 i use normally

M1000s total ammo x damage comes to 7.480
DRAKs total ammo x damage comes to 8.800

yet i make it through 2 or 3 swarms with the M1000 but barely through 1 with the DRAK

[wise kiln]

Yeah, well idk, something's up if you're having issues on Haz 3... 🤔

[magic sluice]

yea idk what it is, maybe its me wasting more ammo than i realise or something.
but i gave the DRAK its fair try and its now back to the M1000

[gilded notch]

Drak with TEF and zhuks with embedded dets is a good combo if you wanna give it a try. But thermal exhaust feedback is kind of a go to for the gun right now if you use the drak. Shield boosted battery is also good

Other OCs for the drak are okay not that great though

[magic sluice]

havent got embedded dets for the zhuks so cant do that.
i have got the shield thing but im not risking loosing my shield just because i missjudge the overheating

[gilded notch]

Yeah definitely got to play around with it more to get used to it. I like both the drak and m1000 but I use the drak more for solo edds or when I duo since it’s pretty ammo efficient with TEF

M1000 seems like your best bet right now though

Without good OCs for the drak

[magic sluice]

the DRAK doesnt suit my playstyle even if it worked like i wanted it to.
i dont like being upclose and spraying down enemys, i prefere the sniper playstyle the M1000 gives

[gilded notch]

That’s fair, all depends how you like playing and what gives you the most success

But letting you know that your math is not wrong though

The dps is higher on the drak overall but it’s a different play style for sure

[magic sluice]

not only dps but also the total damage you get from your ammo

[gilded notch]

When you get embedded dets I recommend you trying them out but it’s good to combo them with your primary weapon. They’re great on escort edds since you can solo rocks really easily cause each bullet does 38 damage

[magic sluice]

on another note, why do so many people not know that the twins dont take damage during their healing thingy

i just saw my driller and gunner waste all their explosives on them while they healed

[gilded notch]

lol I'm not sure why they are shooting them during that time either

[left skiff]

How do you set up a one-per-class-restriction game on PS4?

Nevermind, found it---prevent latejoin character dupes in the options/gameplay menu.

[neon gorge]

what don’t you understand about manual heat dump?

i can explain it to you if you want

[neon gorge]

naw bro, pretty much all drak ocs are straight up bangers

[magic sluice]

what does the little pickaxe symbol mean, i sometimes see it next to player names

[neon gorge]

it means they bought the supporter pack

[gilded notch]

They all good for sure, but some are just way more superior so that makes the others mediocre

if that makes sense lol

[neon gorge]

like which?

[gilded notch]

TEF and shield boosted battery I believe are more superior in my opinion. Just my experience, I've soloed 7 edds and have done every 14 weeks worth of edds so far

it's all opinion though, you could debate things forever

just what I have the most success with

but you could always make anything work with a good build

[neon gorge]

Those are both good but there are reasons to take the others. Opa has higher dps then both of those. Bouncy bullets has high dps for no downside and has good swarm clear. Rewiring gives insane amounts of ammo. Agressive venting is by far the best swarm clear drak has and is argueably the best swarm clear scout has in general

the only one i don’t use is the other clean no one talks about

[gilded notch]

yeah it all depends what you want to use or how you want to play. I've never tried those on haz 5, bouncy bullets would work really well with a driller and bunkers

[neon gorge]

no it doesn’t

i don’t bunker

it’s good cus you aim under grunts to double dip on the splash dmg

[gilded notch]

yeah that works as well too

but yeah man use whatever you like, that's all it comes down to

not really interested in debating but everything has it's own use

[neon gorge]

everything can be used but even in this game some things are better then others. However draks ocs are some of the best balanced, so i wouldn’t call any of the ocs mediocre at all

[gilded notch]

That's true, I don't mean to say that the OCs are bad

[wise kiln]

Yeah, sure. To my understanding it's when you hit the reload button, it overheats the gun, except it'll dispense heat faster than it would if the gun overheated normally, is that how it works? if it is, then that's why I never saw the benefit of that over the other T5 perk.

[neon gorge]

It gives you the option to overheat manually when over 50% heat. The duration of the overheat depends on the amount of heat the gun had when mhd was triggered. It’s very good with rewiring since 80% overheat gives you the best ammo efficiency. It also goes well with aggressive venting since you don’t have to fully overheat to trigger it

[wise kiln]

Rewiring? Is there some kind of drop off with the Drak that I'm not aware of?

[neon gorge]

what do you mean by drop off

The way rewiring works is it gives ammo back for the duration of the overheat

[wise kiln]

Well, you say ammo efficiency, right, just trying to understand at what point between 50% and 99% is more optimal than that range?

Oh, Rewiring Mod is an OC for the Drak, didn't know that, I use TEF.

[neon gorge]

ye t5b wud be better with TEF but mhd has uses outside of that oc

[wise kiln]

With another OC? Idk if I'd take anything other than TFL + TEF, but that's really just my personal preference and what's worked for me up till now. Interested in any build that could be fun/funner, though.

[neon gorge]

is tfl the clean

that’s the only oc i used once and never touched again lol

[wise kiln]

lol nah. Thermal Feedback Loop, the other T5 perk.

[silent peak]

Has anyone ever experienced sudden 180 degree turn arounds when firing weapons in close proximity to enemies?

[covert valve]

I sometimes do but not an entire 180, its more like a small, sharp jut

[silent peak]

Mine happens anytime I am at close range and is a full turn around. I keep hoping it will clear up in updates, but it is still there. Does anyone know how to report bugs?

[raw garden]

pretty sure it's not a bug. you can turn this feature off in the settings

my buddy had this all the time and he didn't get why. when he disabled that 180 turn it was fine

[silent peak]

What setting would that be? "Gun and Run"? I can't think of any purpose it would serve, but will go take a look for something in settings.

[raw garden]

it's a feature to instantly turn around if have enemies in ur back i guess

look for it in settings cause i don't know where it is

i just remember my buddy having that issue

[mellow raft]

Another possible culprit is that moving backward while clicking L3 does a 180 turn. If you get overexcited while backpedaling it might be a thing.

[raw garden]

yeah that's what i ment.

he disabled that

[raw garden]

he never even realised he was doing that when it happened

so i'm sure this has confused many more

[mellow raft]

It's seriously handy for pipe riding in refineries, but otherwise I haven't found much use

[silent peak]

It is specifically when I am firing a weapon and only when I am close to enemies. Here is a video showing both close range and distance shooting: https://youtu.be/Poa3ESagcBY

I don't think it is the setting mentioned since I am often running forward while shooting. I will go take look though, once I have a chance.

[magic sluice]

if you walk backwards and press in one of the joysticks it happens, thats probably it

i had that too, took me a while to figure out what caused it

[silent peak]

Well, I am for sure a joystick pusher! I had to switch out my right stick setting to flare throw because I was constantly saying "Rock and Stone" in the middle of hot battles.

[foggy imp]

you that like its a bad thing

FOR ROCK & STONE !

[magic sluice]

try it out and see if thats whats causing it
walk backwards and press the left joystick in

Gotta be honest, I'm not sure that my interest can sustain for another three weeks. Yesterday the abandoned equipment stashes started giving me the "empty" message, so I'm even running out of cosmetics to get

[magic sluice]

well there's no harm in playing another game while you wait for the update to come out

something i decide im gonna do is save up all matrix cores ill be getting in the next 3 weeks until the update, so the mastery ones and the blank ones give me chances to get some OCs for the new weapons right away

[neon gorge]

Did you get all the cargo crate cosmetics or lost helmet cosmetics

because the cargo crate ones take wayyyyyy longer

[wise kiln]

Can't wait for those new weapons not sure if I'm feeling stuff from the cosmetic side, and sort of wish there were new perks, but everything else looks fun and great 🤘

[magic sluice]

yea the new weapons are definitely the most interesting part of the update, but i think the new rival stuff comes a close second

[wise kiln]

Agreed. I like the economy tuning, as well. Did anyone see those resource matrix cores? Wondering what that's all about

[magic sluice]

i think you get those when you have all OCs or cosmetics

and yea the smaller quality of life changes like the forge master and the shop changes are very welcome too

[wise kiln]

Ah! 👍

[mellow raft]

Lost helmet. I figured as much for the cargo crate ones because it's every weapon skin inividually for each weapon for each character

Lol

[lapis ruin]

Anyone here completed this week's normal DD? ("Bedazzled Interest" in Fungus Bogs)

Curious if console players are having issues finding enough morkite in DD stage 2 (Escort + 150 morkite). Lots of reports of problems on PC platform, but I believe console has different cavegen (due to platform memory limitations) and may not have the problem

[magic sluice]

if finding enough morkite is a problem just wait until dark morkite is available and that should solve the problem

[lapis ruin]

yep, good advice

on PC at least we can just bump the clock forward in 30 min increments and keep checking

[magic sluice]

it shouldnt be an issue in the first place, but its still a fix that should work

[wise kiln]

Got hyperpropellant and special powder in the last hour

[drifting sail]

RIP, sweet dwarves.

[jagged sequoia]

Yeah, I had my first DD today but I didn’t really have any major issues on stage 2 morkite-wise

[magic sluice]

1300+ gold during a deep dive, new record for me

[magic sluice]

jesus christ this weeks EDD is absolute hell

after over 10 attempts i finally made it past stage 1, barely

mactera plague is by far, by FAR the most deadly modifier on the deep dives

[neon gorge]

i still hate lethal enemies more

[magic sluice]

lethal is bad too, but macters just swarm you and one shot you

they come in numbers, are hard to hit, take a decent bit of damage to kill and deal massive damage

[wise kiln]

I'd take Mactera Plague over Swarmageddon, Shield Disruption, Low Oxygen, Lethal Enemies, and Exploder Infestation.

[mellow raft]

Depends on the mission. Swarmageddon and Low Oxygen make refining annoying but aren't really a thing on Point Extraction, for example.

[wise kiln]

Past two EDDs have had Mactera, and idk, but, cryo nades, engi turret, gunners doing their job just made it easy.

[mossy hatch]

Exploder Infestation might as well not even be a negative modifier. Sure, they can take you out, but unless you're hit by a Webber or a Slasher you can pretty much always casually jog away from them. Hit 'em in the mouth and they don't even explode. They are one of the least bothersome enemies, by far

[wise kiln]

Tell that to my teammates in pubs >.>

[mossy hatch]

Fair, but in that case it's the random folks who are the negative modifier, haha

[mellow raft]

Exploders seriously mess up some point defense missions, especially hacking pods because they can knock relays loose

[mossy hatch]

Point defense is the only time they might pose a problem, but you can still run out of the zone and avoid the damage. They are only a nuisance that slows things down a little

[neon gorge]

that’s rare and when it does happen, it takes a second to fix

[wise kiln]

lol, and yeah, with any of the mutators, I guess, keeping focus alleviates most negative outcomes. I can totally see how Mactera are lethal, but last few times I've done EDD, when we focused, there really weren't too many issues. Personally speaking.

[neon gorge]

exploders are only bad on escort imo. i can’t see where they are when they explode in dotty

[wise kiln]

I really do hate swarmers and having to monitor my oxygen levels, though

[mossy hatch]

Mactera can get overwhelming fast, and they are erratic and harder to target. Exploders are predictable and aren't ranged, so they're far less of a threat in general

[mellow raft]

I've also had them blast the hacking pod itself through the floor

[wise kiln]

Exploders crawl up your butt without a peep

[neon gorge]

they are super loud when about to bust tho

[mossy hatch]

You often hear them spawn in, and their fuse sound give you plenty of time to get away

They mostly just kill each other, haha

[wise kiln]

It is nice when this happens ☝️

[neon gorge]

if you see a pack of exploders and you don’t have vamp, just run straight through them

[mossy hatch]

Yep, I usually run at them to save ammo on picking them off

[drifting sail]

Driller can freeze or goo them

Really nice in tight spaces

[magic sluice]

i mean everyone feels it different, but for my mactera plague is always the worst

[wise kiln]

I will scream in terror, because I'm either listening to a podcast or asmr and I rely on visual indicators 90% of the time lol.

[magic sluice]

but stage 2 of this weeks EDD is a cakewalk compared to stake 1

[drifting sail]

Low O2 and shield disruption are awful.

[mossy hatch]

Ah, well that'll do it, haha. The audio cues are very helpful

[drifting sail]

Mactera plague is easy, so long as you can bunker for waves

[mossy hatch]

Low O2 just slows things down a little, but it's usually very manageable

[drifting sail]

Depends on the team

If you have a scout two tunnels over call Molly and you don't notice right away...

[neon gorge]

i play horrible without sound on in this game. Knowing a bulk is coming can literally prevent a wipe

[mossy hatch]

It does depend on the team. Communication greatly reduces the issues presented by things like Low O2

[wise kiln]

Well, pfff, everyone pings a bulk... nobody pings exploders

[drifting sail]

Communication in general. Had a PI fail because engineer was too busy mining gold to place platforms.

[drifting sail]

Ping them with bullets.

Anyone had a terrain feature drop on them from an exploder wave?

[neon gorge]

so youv never had a bulk tunnel behind you during an uplink ig

or had a bulk tunnel right below you

[drifting sail]

I've had the bulk chase me for almost all my drill fuel before it died on sticky flames

6fuel left and I was sweating I was far enough from the boom

[magic sluice]

by the time you ping an exploder they're already too close or exploded

[mellow raft]

At this point I sometimes pick missions just based on how awful the modifiers are to make it interesting. Low Oxygen + Haunted on a mission without a mule is interesting

[wise kiln]

No, that sounds awful! Truly, though, yeah, I've had quite a few bullshit bulk encounters, and I know how badly they can bite a team in the rear, but thankfully none in something as high stakes as the EDD, so, I guess I should count myself lucky 🤞

[wise kiln]

I know lol, I don't actually expect anyone to ever ping an exploder.

[magic sluice]

its more effective just to shoot one before it gets too close to a teammate

[drifting sail]

Ring around the refinery,
Detonator chased the dwarves,
Karl thought it was all such fun,
He drank and dove some more.

[magic sluice]

just finished the EDD

last one alive as a gunner, 10 seconds till the pod opens

do i use my last shield to revive or to wait out the pod, i choose the later option, seemed to have been right

[drifting sail]

Revive your friend and wait out the pod with the dwarf you revived?

Unlike the group that just failed a mission because they thought it a good idea to launch the pod while half are in a hole getting materials, and then switch to PvP when I get to the pod.

Not so funny when you're not the host.

[magic sluice]

didnt risk it, they were behind the drop pod so we'd have to run all the way around it with a ton of enemys

i was infront of the pod so i used the chance to place the shield right at the ramp

plus there wouldnt have been much of a point in reviving anyways, it would have been a needless risk

[wise kiln]

10 seconds left? definitely riskier to go for a teammate in a bad position. I probably would've camped the gate with 10 seconds left, too.

[drifting sail]

Some dwarves left behind...

[magic sluice]

i would have wanted my teammate to do the same if the positions were switched

id rather we just finished the EDD and get the reward

sometimes, sacrifices must be made

i would have gone for the revive if it wasnt for all the enemys, all 3 teammates were in a literal ocean of grunts and swarmers and i had some on me too, plus an oppresser behind me

the one annoying thing is, i did actually get 1 OC this week that id want to use but i want to save them all up for season 2, so i wont craft it

[wise kiln]

Is there a cap on blank cores?

[magic sluice]

you mean on how many you can have at ones?

[wise kiln]

Yeah, like, in your inventory.

[magic sluice]

i dont think so, but its in the 3 digits if there is one

the devs on steam had like 150 or so if i remember the last time i watched it

so the 12 ill have by the time the update comes out wont be any issue

[wise kiln]

That's good to know 👍

[lime tundra]

if you already got the oc then there's no blank to save

unless you're talking minerals, then sure

[magic sluice]

i did the full math to work out how to save up the cores, including the cores i get from weekly stuff on the day the update comes out ill have a total of 45 matrix cores
17 cosmetics
16 OCs
12 blanks

12 OCs and 12 cosmetics will already be preset and in the forge
4 OCs and 5 cosmetics will be earned through mastery
so i get 9 chances for new cosmetics
7 for new OCs
and i still have the 12 blanks to give me chances at OCs too

doing the math for that kept me awake half an hour yesterday, because ones i get an idea like that my brain wont let me sleep until i work it out

[covert valve]

How do I get my old save data back

Because its not in restore save

[wise kiln]

How do you mean? Do you play on PS4 or PS5? Do you have PS Plus? Do you have the setting turned on which uploads your save data automatically to the cloud?

[covert valve]

I play on PS4 but I have no ps plus

[wise kiln]

If you don't have PS Plus, then all of your save data would be on your console's hard drive, and if that isn't backed up and is somehow gone, then I'm not sure there is a way to restore it, right?

[wise urchin]

Hey, is anyone else having problems being unable to call a resupply using m&k on ps4?

[opaque moat]

Anyways one up for some elite deep dives?

[wise kiln]

Does anyone else have issues with the accolades prompt showing up after missions? Seems like as of late it's been a bit inconsistent to show.

Also, wondering if anyone can answer this: on the Engi's GL there's a projectile speed perk called something like disable inertia (it's also on another gun), and maybe it's simply a projectile speed buff, but I was wondering why in the description it mentions 'adjusting to the user's velocity.' Is there a hidden stat to this perk?

[solar sorrel]

It means that your dwarf's speed and direction is added to the projectile when you fire

[narrow bear]

so when do console players get the new season?

[solar sorrel]

5th of may

[narrow bear]

k thanks

[candid coral]

Hi I've recently bought the game and I'm looking for someone to play with. Anybody?

[light notch]

You would get more luck in #lfg-playstation

[wise kiln]

Thanks for clarifying!

[magic sluice]

i just had a player host a game with a double xp mission, but as soon as 3 people had joined he switched it to the mission he needed for his assignment, all 3 of us left instantly

idk what he expected to happen

his assingment mission was with low O2, so noone wanted to play it, understandably

[void moon]

same stuff happened to me except i joined an edd and the host switched to a double exp

[magic sluice]

i dont get what these players expect, people join your game for the mission you host, so if you change it they're gonna leave

[wise kiln]

Don't the modifiers for assignment missions just rotate like everything else?

[magic sluice]

yes but the one he had atm was with O2

[wise kiln]

Maybe they didn't know they could just wait a half hour for something better 🤷 who could say the motives of strangers online. Had some chick last night get mad that someone else pushed the drop pod button, so, she (the host) decided to stay outside the pod during evac, and when one of the other people in the game went outside to PvP her, she aborted the mission...

Literally the next mission I joined, the friendliest of players was the host, just, communicating objectives and team positioning well, encouraging any greenbeards in the lobby, etc. Stayed in that lobby till he completed his assignment, was a good time. And just goes to show the spectrum of online interactions, though, I'd say DRG tends to be a lot better than most other games.

[magic sluice]

yea DRG is on the better end when it comes to players, toxic ones are rare

but with this, i dont even understand the thinking behind it

you cant just pull a bait and switch on people and expect them to still play with you

[wise kiln]

I bet as a kid, their parents told them they were going to the toy store whenever they didn't want to go somewhere, but after getting in the car, it was always to the place they didn't want to go, e.g. the dentist, haircutters, crummy relative's house, you know. And now they're just conditioned to try it on other people... online strangers in Deep Rock Galactic 🤷

[magic sluice]

the difference is, DRG players will just jump out of the driving car as soon as they see the dentist come into view

[wise kiln]

True lol, but nature is a very hard thing to change.

Wanted to ask Engineers here: How the heck do you build your Stubby SMGs? cause I am having a weird time trying to get it to punch above the shotty's weight, and I think it's cause I'm mostly just used to the shotty at this point. Also, does anyone use the smart rifle? It feels like it could be pretty decent, but I'm lost on the kit in general.

[magic sluice]

i do play engineer, but i find the stubby to be...meh, not great.
the smart rifle is cool but only because i have an OC for it that makes lock on time a lot quicker

[wise kiln]

Yeah. Do you use one turret or two?

[magic sluice]

i use 1, 2 is too much for me

[wise kiln]

Same. I'm sure two is better, cause DPS + additional angle, but I seem to lack the energy to routinely set up two turrets every time.

[magic sluice]

yea 1 is better for me, but in terms of weapons:
honestly the standard kit of the warthog and GL is really good ones you upgrade them, they just start off really bad

[south fjord]

hello

[covert valve]

Yo

[hybrid parcel]

Its honestly painful how deeprock will just crash in the middle of missions, DEEP DIVES, ill be 50+min in and boom "connection lost" or the game will just crash. It happens alot.

[south fjord]

50+ min?

dang im almost at promotion level

so that'll be interesting

also sometimes my fps drops

im on ps5

[restive lynx]

I love the Smart Rifle especially with the Seeker Rounds overclock. I think I only have one overclock for the Stubby so haven't touched it in a long time. I use all 4 dwarves. 2 Star Bronze on Driller, Engineer, and Gunner. 2 Star Silver for Scout.

[magic sluice]

same by now, i started as a driller main and slowly worked myself through the classes.
got them all at least 2 bronze by now

[restive lynx]

Right on. All equally fun.

Scout fits me the best though.

[magic sluice]

some are better for some missions, but generally i play whatever my team needs

[restive lynx]

Which primary do you use the most on Driller? I fell in love with the Goo Gun with the Goo Bomber Special.

[magic sluice]

good ol reliable flamethrower, if metro taught me anything its that the best way to exterminate spiders is using a flamethrower

[restive lynx]

Haha yeah. I like my super reach on the flamethrower with the Full Stream Diffuser

[magic sluice]

same here, its the only OC i got for it

[restive lynx]

Hell yeah. It goes soo far

[drifting sail]

Sticky Flames ftw.

Face Melter also is fun, but SF is sooooo good on ammo.

[restive lynx]

I'll be messing with those two overclocks for sure

[drifting sail]

But for high difficulty, gotta use the Cryo gun

[magic sluice]

yea cryo is great when you got mactra plague or swarmagedon

[restive lynx]

Haz5?

[drifting sail]

Exploder infestation. Ugh.

Haz5.

Cryo is amazing crowd control and solid recovery option with Vampire driller.

[restive lynx]

Yeah it is very good

I just really like the Sludge Pump

[drifting sail]

Yes

It is stupid fun.

I use it with Hydrogen Ion Additive OC on Dreadnoughts.

[restive lynx]

Placing my You Shall Not Pass trails

[drifting sail]

Goo Bomber Special?

[restive lynx]

Yeah

[drifting sail]

Do you run Protein Disruption Mix with it?

I've kinda liked it for group missions, but it lacked oomph.

[restive lynx]

I use that or the Fluo

[drifting sail]

Yeah, Fluoroantimonic Acid is my preferred for the dmg.

Slow was conditionally useful with friends, but Cryo did better and killed. Sludge life.

[restive lynx]

It was interesting using the AG Mixture oc. Made the shots pretty much like a normal bullet shot

No projection on the shots. Was weird for that gun.

[drifting sail]

Mactera sniping

Sludge Blast was fun, but needed more spread.

[restive lynx]

I think my friend would like that oc because she had trouble hitting mactera with the Sludge Pump back when she tried it.

I dont have Sludge Blast. I have 4 ocs

[drifting sail]

Regular shots have hard falloff... I give up on Mactera as a Driller. Make a hole and they come to me.

I have almost every Driller OC. Favorite dwarf by far.

[restive lynx]

Im pretty close to getting every Scout oc

[drifting sail]

Love the Scout movement, but Gunner is probably my 2nd favorite now. Never got into Engineer as much, but still good.

[restive lynx]

Can't wait to play with that boltgun

Gunner is my second favorite too

[drifting sail]

Railgun and the Omoran beam sidearms excite me most.

Not sure about Driller's microwave. Will have to try it. Want to know more about Xbow bolts.

Saw there were several flavors, but ammo pool? Reclaim special bolts or just normal?

[restive lynx]

I didn't notice on the last stream when they were showing them off If that was the case.

[magic sluice]

it feels weird that within one month i've gone from always being the lowest level in the team to almost always being the highest level

[restive lynx]

Im sitting at 106

I play too many other games.

[drifting sail]

I try to.

[magic sluice]

yep, gunners coil pistol is the most exciting for me, engis beam seems cool too.
the microwave seems meh but ill try it.
the crossbows is the same

the crossbow only seems meh cause its doesnt fit my playstyle i think

[restive lynx]

I am a fan of bow use in games.

I think I'll be liking it for sure.

[drifting sail]

Retrievable ammo is big.

[restive lynx]

Going to try out the Turret EM Discharge oc right now.

[drifting sail]

Eh. Great to zap your allies with.

[magic sluice]

how do other drills make the plasma charger mining so fucking easy

i just cant get the timing for it

[neon gorge]

the crossbow looks insanely versatile

[neon gorge]

they legit showed the entire mod tree and all ocs so there’s not much left to show lol

[fringe timber]

Anyone else get a haz 5 lobby that doesn't spawn any enemies?

[magic sluice]

It does, it just seems like it wont fit my playstyle

[magic sluice]

Its a glitched mission, people do it for easy xp

[knotty marten]

How does that even work?

[lost ledge]

Does any of you having problem connecting to lobbies?

[fluid echo]

are the devs aware of the glitched mission then? Because thats reaaaally annoying

[solar sorrel]

It's not a glitch, it's a hack

[fluid echo]

are the devs sorting that out then?

[novel storm]

I don't know if the devs care much because it's like your save and you do what you want. Not sure though

But yea it's annoying joining a double xp mission and seeing that

[magic sluice]

Just dont join a haz5 double ex mission

[dreamy needle]

How do i promote

[magic sluice]

reach level 25 with a class, do the promotions assignment, go to the memorial hall and to the computer in the back of it

[dreamy needle]

Ok thanks, someone before said get to level 10

[magic sluice]

nah its level 25

[dreamy needle]

Ok thanks :)

[magic sluice]

no problem!

[dreamy needle]

Are there any specific missions that give good xp?

[magic sluice]

it depends on a lot of factors:
-the lengh of the mission(shown by the footprints 1-3)
-the cave complexity(shown by the lightling warning signs 1-3)
-the hazard level
-if you get the secondary objective or not

and bonus xp is gotten by:
-double xp missions
-doing the core infuser thingys

im not sure if any specific mission type gives more xp or not

[dreamy needle]

Alr thanks

[magic sluice]

but generally, if you just wanna grind xp go for double xp missions

[dreamy needle]

Mmk

[neon gorge]

modifiers give more xp

[magic sluice]

true, i forgot those

[wise kiln]

Does the snow zone's terrain cancel sprint, or is my controller's left analog stick messed up?

[magic sluice]

the deep snow cancels it

[mossy hatch]

The patches of soft snow (bright white patches of snow on top of normal terrain), slows your movement and will cancel your sprint. It also provides some decent fall damage reduction if you land in it

[wise kiln]

Phew! Thanks 😅

[gentle gate]

Question. Can the ps4 save transfer to the ps5

[mossy hatch]

Yes, under Options -> Save Game -> Restore Save. I believe you need to have cloud saves active (which requires PlayStation Plus)

[quaint zinc]

StoicMako the MVP

[gentle gate]

Sweet gonna be getting a ps5 soon hopefully

[umbral pasture]

USB transfer can be used as well.

[mossy hatch]

Good to know, thank you! I had not seen that mentioned for DRG saves, so I wasn't sure if that was an option

[sacred marten]

So, I recently bought the Ultimate Upgrade pack from the PS store and I got alm the cosmetics, the credits and the materials as it should be, but not the 25k performance points for the battle pass.
Is this a bug or is because I also bought the Starter pack?

[dreamy needle]

Which graphics mode is better, performance, or fidelity

[wise kiln]

I go for performance in DRG, and in most games. Not sure if DRG is 60fps at 2160p on PS5

[crimson path]

What y’all think about my GK2 build?

[crimson path]

I’m assuming if it didn’t trigger for this season then most likely the next

[neon gorge]

my build is the same except i take stun

[crimson path]

I was actually thinking about trying that next

[neon gorge]

you will notice wardens are wayyy easier to hit with stun

wobbly bastards lol

[lofty urchin]

Someone to play?

[neon gorge]

#lfg-playstation

[dreamy needle]

In my laser pointer that tells me what things ive deposited, one of them says "ERR://" and a bunch of different symbols. What are these? Is it just a literal bug, or easter egg

[magic sluice]

someone on your team found an error cube, its an easter egg of sorts, shows up with your minerals if you look in the shop

[dreamy needle]

Oh yeah, it looked like a rubiks cube

[magic sluice]

yee

[dreamy needle]

Kinda

Whats it for?

[magic sluice]

its has no use, just an easter egg

[dreamy needle]

Ahh ok

Thats neat

[drifting sail]

No use YET.

[topaz nexus]

Cube

[magic sluice]

maybe season 2 will bring a use for it

[topaz nexus]

Doubt it

[magic sluice]

yea same, but maybe

[topaz nexus]

Your gonna love the game with the sexy 120 fps that it offers

[gentle gate]

Oh that’s the main reason I want a ps5

I stopped playing DRG because of the crap frames

[topaz nexus]

The haptic feedback isn't much but it's there

[gentle gate]

Eh I’m not to worried about that

I’m just hoping Sony picks me to actually buy a ps5 or I’m going on a hunt for one

[topaz nexus]

It's still good and realistic

If your wondering

[gentle gate]

That’s nice

[topaz nexus]

When you empty the mag or over heat your gun the trigger will push back

Which is really nice

[gentle gate]

That seems pretty cool honestly

[topaz nexus]

Yep

[topaz nexus]

Oh thought u had one on the way lol

[gentle gate]

Sadly not

I’m have the money on the 22 but I signed up for a chance to buy one

[topaz nexus]

You'll probably get notified within few weeks

That's what happened to me but by then I already bought it on gamestop as a bundle

[gentle gate]

Yea I might actually become a pro member again to get early access to when they drop

I may get it sooner but idk

[topaz nexus]

U should

[gentle gate]

How fast do they drop on GameStop?

[topaz nexus]

Pro members get first dibs on the consoles and early notification

[gentle gate]

Yea I knew that

[topaz nexus]

Drop like go out of stock or getting restock lol

[gentle gate]

Restock

[topaz nexus]

Based on my emails I'd say every month they restock
