💀

what happened

I actually still don’t have the I liked it down here trophy

[grave oriole]

It started out as speedrunning Dreadnoughts but after we killed them within 10 mins we spent an hour+ just pinging things and each other then we called in a resupply pod, dug it to the bottom of the map, called in another one and then dug to the top of the map and jumped off

then by the end it was just pinging and filling a hole up with flares

[covert valve]

Interesting

I have nothing to do rn I plowed through the 7-8 assignments I had from the new update and I already did my edd

[grave oriole]

Nice

I have yet to do an EDD

I've done a Deep Dive but not EDD

[open vault]

What's going on is first rule about fight club, don't talk about fight club(Ping Club obviously).

[grave oriole]

but of course

Once the pinging starts, it won't ever stop

[open vault]

XD

[grave oriole]

I love to spam We're Rich

[dreamy needle]

Is spinning death good for the breach cutter?

[trim glade]

does anyone else think its dumb that you cant grab things when your on a gunner zipline? or is my game just glitching?

like i'll have fossils that are super high, and no on on the team is near or just wont get it. so i'll put a zipline past it. but i will well within grabbing distance. but i cant grab it. not unless i jump off the line and then plummet to my death xD

[dreamy needle]

No its not a glitch

That just happens for some reason

But what you can do is jump off for a sec to grab the fossil, then grab the line again

[trim glade]

i've tried it just doesn't work unless its at a downward angle and i've got enough line going down to make it in time. but more often then not the fossil is at the end of the line. so by the time i've got it, im out of the lines reach and i just fall to my death. Because they dont jump up when jumping off the line, they just release from it.

maybe its something for them to consider changing. till then guess i'll have to bust out the retro button mashing skills and pray xD (then splat)

[drifting sail]

....kick!

Had one that joined a mission and immediately stepped off a ledge, called our only resupply (haz4) and took 2.

Caught a couple warning shots while he was grabbing the second and decided it was PvP time. Host revived him and the other guy and I left game and started our own.

[magic sluice]

yea i should have

[toxic cape]

That sounds like a bad time

[green barn]

Welcome to my experience

[covert valve]

It’s not too bad I’ve done it with randoms before but my preferred method is duo with a friend

[green barn]

Edd was a experience this week

[covert valve]

Haz 5+ with 4 people is just way too much shyte

I didn’t have to bad a time

Just

[green barn]

Was my frist Edd to complete

[covert valve]

Lots of morkite

Pretty mild this week really

[green barn]

I recommend drinking dark morkite

[covert valve]

luckily me n my friend had it

[green barn]

Nice

I almost die in the final part of the edd

If i just go down i was going loose because of the drop pod leaving

[green barn]

I mean edd the haz difficulty is 5.5

[amber flint]

Haz 6 when???

[green barn]

Just in mods

A little sad because i want to see the chaos

[amber flint]

Sony give us mods 😡

[frigid adder]

I got the funny Rock solid trophy

0.1%

[green barn]

Geez i just fail my last haz 5 mission

[frigid adder]

Damn

The 5th one?

[spare aurora]

Looking for 4th player with mic. 18+. We are a group of 27+ males. I’m prestige 6 for driller. We are most likely doing the EDD tonight. Communication is key for our group

[green barn]

Ye

Still learning how to survive haz 5

[covert valve]

Looking for someone who wants to do with me the roller coaster Achievement: grind a pipe for 120 seconds

[amber flint]

just do 5 pe missions, its cheesey though

I want it legit

[green barn]

Try itt and die by the swarm

[amber flint]

you are promoted ?

[green barn]

Im mostly trying in other missions

[green barn]

Silver 3 star engi 1 star others

Almost 1 gold with engi by now

[amber flint]

~~ insert you shouldn't be dying to swarms on haz 5 before 15 minutes ~~ well you get it eventually

[green barn]

I mean i took longer because i dont get used to find the aqua

[amber flint]

just use bosco

you can camp the mine head

[green barn]

I was doing with scout btw

[amber flint]

thats even better, its easier to kite

[green barn]

Im justa bad scout ok?

[amber flint]

🤷‍♂️ I just wanted to help you get the trophy, I dont want to shame you or something

[green barn]

Yeah i know

Just still learning haz 5

Maybe i need better oc

[drifting sail]

Mostly positioning and eyes kn the back of your head.

[crystal wraith]

also esp with scout spam that hook gun

he is the easiest on haz 5 at least to not die on

if you are in an open area you are borderline immortal

but personally haz 5 is too much for me, every now and then in EDD its fun to use all your "skills" to the best of their extend

but on just normal missions with netflix on the side its just too frustrateing everytime you turn your back against the wall to mine 10 morkite there is a swarm running up to you

feels less difficult and more of a chore to deal with all the crap that is thrown at you

[thin crypt]

For haz 5 no deaths no resupplies I prefer liquid morkite missions over aquarq missions

[crystal wraith]

[thin crypt]

You’re a little dependent on the level gen but once you get the pipes attached you literally don’t have to do anything but ride around on the pipes for the rest of the mission while bosco does the work

The bugs will ignore you if you decide to fix pipes but you can just as easily make bosco do it anyways

[crystal wraith]

feels like aquarshard is like that from the getgo

[thin crypt]

Ehhh you’ve still got to deposit em

That can get tricky

[crystal wraith]

yea bosco drops them onto you and you press square

what is tricky about that

[thin crypt]

By the time bosco gets to the drop you’ve got bugs on you

So you’ve got to be kiting around

[crystal wraith]

ok and that doesnt happen while you are building the pipes

[thin crypt]

On liquid morkite you don’t even have to do that, can just 100% ignore em

You don’t have to build pipes, bosco builds them

[crystal wraith]

you are just haveing an opinion to have an opinion its ok I ll stop argueing

[amber flint]

Please please oh mighty devs, let use rebind hover boots

I feel like the bad mapping is part of the balancing

[crystal wraith]

btw I forgot to check again while I was playing today where is the option to turn off vibrations?

[drifting sail]

Oh wow, first time I've seen a Detonator spawn ON the drop pod.

We all finally scaled the cliff and it was there... waiting. Managed to kill it while frozen, so it did a harmless impact instead of the big boom.

[open vault]

The Atlas trying to finish you off XD

[drifting sail]

As with all other lesser species, Gek prevailed.

[open vault]

As we do fellow Gek

[quiet cliff]

Thats why cryo nades are clutch AF

[wise kiln]

I forget what the burst on a bulk is like with Cryos, but I would think the Cryo cannon freezes better? 🤔

[drifting sail]

Do you REALLY want to be that close?

Also 'nade has stronger freeze burst.

[thin crypt]

Cryo cannon is pretty long range

[wise kiln]

How many nades you need for a bulk, though? Also, when you did was bulk already pretty low on health, or was a Driller sustaining the freeze with cryo cannon?

[drifting sail]

2 nades, maybe 3. If Driller is closr enough to freeze, they're close enough to get rushed.
It got burst down from a bit above half health. That triple bolt OC does work.

[wise kiln]

Nice. I didn't know, so, definitely going to keep that in mind.

I just got that OC for the crossbow. Pretty good, then? I'm not really educated enough on the new weapons to know their strengths at the moment.

[drifting sail]

I've been using 3xBolt and the pheremone for my special and am very pleased.

Low ammo, but it lets my Scout have an answer for big things.

[wise kiln]

Pheromone works on the big guys, or just as a way to escape/disorient a crowd? Are you using regular bolts for burst damage?

[drifting sail]

Both. Pheremone a Bulk and it takes the swarm with it when they kill it, for instance.
Regular bolts for burst, especially after freezing.

Especially useful as Mactera will go for a pheremone target across the room.

[wise kiln]

Didn't know you could do that, smart 👍

[drifting sail]

Little bits that make it super useful when used situationally. Not a main weapon by any measure, but clutch king.

[green barn]

What are a good mods for the boltshark?

No oc because im just unlucky

[wise kiln]

For special bolt utility I would imagine X3121. It depends on what you want the crossbow to do, though, because it seems pretty versatile.

[green barn]

Actually i already have the same set up went i just unlocked

13121

[wise kiln]

There ya go 👍 T3 can be either, I feel, especially if you like quicker hit reg > reloading, which largely comes down to your own playstyle's pacing.

T4 also seems like you could go for movement speed burst to get out of trouble, but less useful on a class like the Scout with an already amazing escape tool in the grappling hook.

[green barn]

I think i wanna take the drak again

Never touched that weapon in my life

[wise kiln]

It's been my main since I started playing 😅 I like the sniper, but not as much as most other Scouts. Thermal Exhaust Feedback OC on the Drak is 👌

[green barn]

Only have the rewiring mod

I need to farm more oc for the scout

[drifting sail]

Drak is great stuff

[green barn]

Taking the drak in haz 4 rn

[drifting sail]

Using Aggressive Venting on Drak, clears swarmers while I focus other bugs.

[green barn]

Hoping to get that oc

[drifting sail]

My Boltshark is 11111 lmao, Trifork Volley OC

[wise kiln]

Wiki says one bolt is 105 base damage, say what?! with broadhead bolts, 130x3 seems pretty good lol.

[drifting sail]

Yep. Pop that on a frozen enemy.

[green barn]

Everyone gansta until a detonator and nemesis spawn when you are doing the uplink

[frigid adder]

Builds for the m1000?

[drifting sail]

Sniping or combat?

[frigid adder]

Sniping

[drifting sail]

Wow, got booted because host insisted on carrying pods to hack one at a time. And throwing them makes a tangle...

Yeah, definitely done joining games for a while. Autism levels >9000.

[green barn]

Sometimes people dont want to Cooperate

[drifting sail]

No, this was very particular. Came on VC and cried about the mess.

I sez, "you can throw a bunch and it sorts itself out real fast, automatically, or you can carry them one at a time back and forth. Your choice."
Then I got booted.

Sadly I can't recall who was the party leader to block the maladroit.

[green barn]

Try in the recent player in the friend list

[drifting sail]

Which of the 3? 2 did no wrong.

[green barn]

Dam i dunno

[drifting sail]

11121 with Supercooling Chamber OC

If you're fast and accurate, it's really fun.

[neon gorge]

SCC might be the worst oc in the game

[green barn]

Can you explain why? I want to know

[neon gorge]

lowest dps and lowest ammo on m1

its considered worse then base gun

cus the base gun is pretty goddam strong

[drifting sail]

Hit a weakspot with focus and things die.

[green barn]

So is ammo Efficiency down?

[neon gorge]

its still very low dps

[neon gorge]

yes wayyyy down

[drifting sail]

You're not constantly firing. It's precision burst.

Run Zhukov secondary and use it like a main.

[neon gorge]

yes but even the damage per second is way lower then hipster or tap firing base m1 with weakpoint dmg

[drifting sail]

It's burst. Not rapid dps loadout.

Whole different point here.

[neon gorge]

its worse burst and sustain dps

its ass at both

[drifting sail]

Absolutely other OCs or weapons have higher DPS. But SCC lets you execute things across the room.

You're trying to use it as something it was never meant for.

[green barn]

A yeah i forgot the guy ask for sniping

[drifting sail]

That was the comment I replied to.

[green barn]

Yeah

Still trying to figure out how to use hipster effectively

[drifting sail]

You want scout dps, Drak all the way.

[green barn]

What about scout as a swarm clearer?

[drifting sail]

Drak or cryo nade

[elder swallow]

i use Drak

[drifting sail]

Or Zhukov with Cryo Minelets OC

[green barn]

Drak is fun to use

[green barn]

Thats the only oc that i have for that gun

[drifting sail]

Use punch through and aim slightly down with it and you will clear gruntswarms with ease.

[green barn]

Is hard to change the boltshark

[drifting sail]

Boltshark not too good as a panic button. Plan it button.

[green barn]

Mods? pls

I just know that weapon is ammo hungry

[drifting sail]

I love the pheremone bolt, so I built mine around that; 111111 lol

Trifork Volley OC

[green barn]

A yes the 1 1 1 mmm 1 strat

[drifting sail]

Mash it, activates faster lmao

But I only use the Boltshark for big things. Pheremone them, switch back to Drak. Or Cryo 'nade it and Trifork shot to the butt.

Pheremone on Detonator is REALLY fun.

[green barn]

Actually i never usa the boltshark as damage

[drifting sail]

Trifork gives a huge burst, otherwise I agree. Damage was not thrilling.

[green barn]

I just insta kill the random grunt

[drifting sail]

Fear effect also can be useful, especially with arrow retrieval... But better ways to revive your mates.

[green barn]

Got a cargo crate in site refinery

Im will not open it rn

I like to wait for more guys to join before

[neon gorge]

hipster is actually pretty close to drak dps. Pretty sure its actually higher then most drak ocs

[drifting sail]

Fantastic. A+

[neon gorge]

TEF and OPA might be higher, depending on if the thing ur shooting at is resistant to fire dmg

[green barn]

Still think the drak is fun to use

[neon gorge]

i’m saying they are both very good

unless u use SCC

[green barn]

How good is the fatboy oc?

[grave oriole]

Just did my first EDD, it was fun

[green barn]

Nice how many down and time?

For me was 7 downs and almost 1 hour in this edd and the trophy

[grave oriole]

6 downs and 47:42

[green barn]

Nice man

[grave oriole]

Host got 9 downs though

Scout btw

[green barn]

I got my engi to gold rn

[grave oriole]

Epic

[green barn]

Was expensive as hell

[grave oriole]

I'm still a bronze 1 star for all my dwarves unfortunately

[green barn]

I have engie to 1 gold star and the other dwarves are in bronze 1

Except for the scout, because i can do the assigment

[grave oriole]

why not

[green barn]

Scout is going for the 2 star

[grave oriole]

O

[green barn]

I'll take a break

[drifting sail]

Ew. Ceiling drop pod for EDD1

[amber flint]

oh I missed that

[grave oriole]

oh and the ending to my EDD, we got a Bulk Detonator spawn on the drop pod

[drifting sail]

lol, had that in a mission earlier. Very rude welcome.

[grave oriole]

Yeah we drilled straight to the drop pod so our driller was greeted by an explosive welcoming

Responding with Paper and Parchment to Rock and Stone

[grave oriole]

I joined a green beard Driller game and the first thing he did was blow me up as I was Scout

He is Driller material

[drifting sail]

I have never INTENTIONALLY C4'd a Scout.

But there's at least a half dozen times they zip into the blinking red light like moths right as I press the button.

[frigid adder]

I did the edd today

second i've done

It wasn't too bad

[grave oriole]

Yeah it was good imo

and lmao Scouts do be attracted to bright things

[light sun]

Is the glyphid slammer supporter mug fixed on ps4?

Last time I played, I still couldn’t get the mug to spawn when I bougjt the beer

[woeful marsh]

Yes I believe so

[maiden summit]

How do I claim robot rebellion cosmetics? The others went straight to my inventory, but this one didn’t

[magic sluice]

try restarting the game and your console, that worked for me

[grave oriole]

We found a chunk of gold and proceeded to gather around it and spam We're Rich but then our friend who's Scout yoinked it and tried to deposit it

So we nuked him to hell and back, threw the gold on him and started spamming the ping again

[magic sluice]

nice

[light notch]

Chads

[drifting sail]

That's pretty shitty.

[void moon]

gentlemen, do any of you happen to be experiencing a shortage of MAGNITE

[grave oriole]

I am experiencing a shortage of Enor Pearls

I got like 1-2k of every mineral and only 269 Enor Pearl

[void moon]

[grave oriole]

We're Rich

[void moon]

[woeful marsh]

Bruh

Imagine hacking a co-op pve game

[grave oriole]

I didn't even think that was possible for DRG

but yeah you should see games like Payday 2 about hacking in a PvE game

[woeful marsh]

Just for more stars and a different colour badge

[woeful marsh]

Yeah it requires you to edit a save file I think

Idk how or why

[magic sluice]

imagine hacking in any online game just in the hopes that people think you're cool

[woeful marsh]

Ikr I don't get it

[magic sluice]

i could understand editing your savefile to get the things back you had after you lost your old savefile or something, or if you went from console to pc or the other way around.
but just making yourself level 10k or whatever is just pathetic

[woeful marsh]

Agreed

Like all you need is one premoted dwarf and that's 100% of the game unlocked

Apart from like 2 cosmetics

[magic sluice]

yea, but i do get not wanting to grind all the overclocks and stuff again if you had already unlocked them before.
but if you make yourself some stupid high level noone will think you're cool, everyone just thinks you're an idiot

[woeful marsh]

Yeah makes sense I guess

[grave oriole]

Charm Praetorian when

[drifting sail]

Thanks for posting the screencap, I was able to spell all the names correctly to block all players except the scout.

Again, seriously shitty behavior.

[grave oriole]

We're all friends irl so it's fine

We wouldn't do it to any randoms

[drifting sail]

I missed that line, apologies. That was one of the first things I saw waking up to tractors.

[grave oriole]

It's ight

[drifting sail]

Thought it was another bunch of jackasses in public... Yesterday was bad. Again, my bad for missing that.

I need coffee.

[grave oriole]

It's all g, I'd be pissed about it too, I really despise griefers in PvE games

Especially because I prefer PvE over PvP games

[frigid adder]

I'm completely magniteless

I have 80

[velvet magnet]

[void moon]

[cursive cape]

Need help with deep dive

[covert valve]

carpool trophy anyone?

[covert valve]

Yes

My only mineral under 5k

I’m at 900

[velvet magnet]

Damn bro share some with the chat

[hybrid parcel]

Are EDDs not loading for anyone else on ps4? My list for servers is jus forever loading for EDDs but i can easily load a server list for normal missions example being like a mining expedition will load the list instantly but when i try to load up a list of EDDs it doesnt want to load, weird

[wise kiln]

It's possible there were no public EDD listings at the moment you were looking 🤷‍♂️

[hybrid parcel]

True i just thought it was weird it was constantly having a loading cricle n not just showing a empty list but ig

[plucky nest]

actually hacking on payday 2 is really funny

[buoyant oak]

Anyone up for the carpool trophy in one hour and a half? We miss 1 person

[normal swallow]

We are two looking for carpool trophy for the second time, anyone down.

[velvet magnet]

That's bull

[trim portal]

Im down all day just hit me up

[frigid adder]

indeed

[thin crypt]

@trim portal @normal swallow I can be #4 if you haven’t done it yet

[trim portal]

I haven't

[limber oracle]

I encountered a bug on ps5 regarding this: if I looked at the DD terminal it would only show a subset of all the lobbies, but switching the search distance would fix the problem. So switching it from "world" to "far" would increase the number of lobbies listed.

The issue started popping up maybe 2-3 months ago but went away in s2 for me, but this toggle trick is worth a try

[random forge]

Hey just wondering, are all the patches on the patch-notes channel released on playstation? Or are they released on a later date?

[wise kiln]

"Reduced the amount of Pheromone Special Bolts."

😭 was just getting used to these bad boys.

Honestly, good question. I imagine PC test server > PC game > Consoles is the order of the pipeline stuff.

What's the deal with some players spamming square when repairing, etc.? Is it actually any faster lol?

[random forge]

Okay because all I have seen from DRG regarding patches for PS are the trophies patch on Twitter

[grim robin]

No, it just looks funnier

[grave oriole]

Oh yeah I know
Source: I used to play with some friends on Payday 2 that used hacks for the funnies

[plucky nest]

making a lot of npc spawn and make them dance is funny as hell

[grave oriole]

Hell yeah

or making art out of turret spawns

[plucky nest]

https://tenor.com/view/payday-dallas-party-gif-8855434

oh no gif here

😦

[grave oriole]

I don't know if links work here

[plucky nest]

yeah not working

[covert valve]

"Yippee-"

[green barn]

Is the SD worth it?

[neon gorge]

yep

[grave oriole]

I love the SD personally

[green barn]

I mean im still attach to the breach cutter

But using the SD with a cc build is amazing

[grave oriole]

Do you have a build for cc because I'm just using it as a single target thing atm

I don't have any OCs yet

for it I mean

[green barn]

For me atleast im using Volatile Impact Reactor oc

32213

Using that like a driller with sticky flames

Grunts and swarmes die by the fire effect

[grave oriole]

Ah I see thanks

[green barn]

Specially with the warthog Light-Weight Magazines oc 12221

This is just swarm clear really

Try to play it with a friend with single target damage or primary with single target damage

[green barn]

Like loki with executioner oc 21112

[wise kiln]

Yet to really give the new Engi secondary a spin, but I just saw someone melt a Nemesis on Haz 4 with it, so, I assume it's not bad lol.

How do you guys like the Colette (sp?) wave cooker? Some of its perks lead me to think it's a debuffer/damage amplifier for primed targets?

[void moon]

the shard diffractor aint that bad even without oc its already a blast to use, i put overdrive oc on it,

for the wave cooker on its own its good for clearing the shockers and ankle biting swamers, with the flamethrower/cyro cannon its pretty good for nice damage, i think it works better with flamethrower with sticky, havent really tried it out alot with the cyro

i think the meta for wave cooker is the temp shock

idk if the slowdown works with dreads

[drifting sail]

Slowdown works on everything. Using the radiation OC on Colette to reach across the room for Mactera and slow big things.

Colette is a solid combo with Goo or Flamethrower, little trickier to work the temperature with Cryo, but I love the slow there anyway.

[drifting sail]

I have Overdrive OC too... Feel like I'm missing a button for boosting or something?

[void moon]

you need to press the reload button

to activate it

it will stop you in place

and then boost your damage

but you will have to empty the entire ammo

so i suggest not getting an ammo upgrade that turns it from shooting 50 before reloading to shooting 100

[drifting sail]

Ahhhhhhhhhhh

I knew I was missing something.

Have it set up for the 50 but couldn't figure out boost button lol

[frigid adder]

I have my shard diffractor but i dont have enough magnite for mods

this magnite deficiency is killing me

When does it stop

[drifting sail]

When you do Magnite night, and run a bunch of missions

[frigid adder]

Magnite night

Sounds like a plan

[wise kiln]

Thanks for the advice 👍 I do have that on the T5, but haven't really messed around with it yet. Only OC I have for it is Mega Power Supply 😕

Btw, Gek, 11111 on crossbow is 👌 I'm liking the damage of the trifork volley OC.

[drifting sail]

Button mash build ftw.

[neon gorge]

mega power supply is by far its best oc

everything else is mediocre or just bad

[wise kiln]

Seriously?! 😳 Surprised there aren't better ones.

[neon gorge]

gamma is the only other impactful one imo

[grave oriole]

lol speaking of button mash, my R2 trigger button snapped mid shooting with the Driller Subata like 2 weeks ago

It hasn't hindered anything though, just feels weird and very sensitive when pressed

[covert valve]

I can’t use the kitchen appliance because then I have to give up tcf

[dreamy needle]

A glyphid dreadnought, an oppressor, and 3 praetorians just spawned on me

So glad i have bet-c

On a normal mission

[covert valve]

💀

[woeful marsh]

On what hazard?

[robust stratus]

Anyone else notice the game crashing significantly more often since the last update? And just being a lot more buggy in general?
While they fixed the trophy bug, they seem to have found so many more bugs

[dreamy needle]

3

[magic sluice]

since when are wall eyes a thing in crystal cavern?

[thin crypt]

Always

[trim berry]

What annoys me the most is the game restarting everytime you fail to connect to a squad

[burnt reef]

Hi! Do u guys know if there is any cross save between ps5 and Pc? Bcs im moving to pc and i would like to play DrG on there too ⛏

[wise kiln]

Don't believe so, not at the moment anyhow.

[burnt reef]

Well then i would stay playing on ps5 with MnK

[wise kiln]

Christ, did rl inflation affect my DRG? Promoting my first gold character... 43k credits and ~300x3 mats

[magic sluice]

promotions get more and more expensive

[wise kiln]

I knew they did, but damn, I'm not made of morkite lol.

Anywho. First gold boy 🥲 three more to go!

[dreamy needle]

I think i just found a bug. Im doing a salvage mission currently and one of the 2 broken mules arent there and cant finish the mission

[thin crypt]

You’ve got to kill the bug that’s why

Every time I do a salvage there’s like 200 bugs

Gotta kill all of em

[dreamy needle]

Bruh

[ember lintel]

can you send a screenshot of the pause menu? It allows us to check the seed. It most likely is there, but in a cave that could be cut off.

[ember lintel]

need the thing at the very bottom 😅 has some number in it

[dreamy needle]

Oh sorry

The second number is an 8 just in case

[wise kiln]

Salvo Module sucks 😐 but I'm curious to try out this Endothermic Explosion for Shard Diffractor.

[magic sluice]

salvo module is pretty good if you get used to it

[wise kiln]

Nuh uh, nope lol.

Enlighten me, though.

[magic sluice]

well, its a rocket shotgun

plus if you just fire one by one you can still use it like a normal guided rocketlauncher

[wise kiln]

Slower RoF than a shotty because of the charge, and loses RoF and projectile speed from the OC I was previously using, which is why it felt like a big yikes. It did okay against the Hiveguard babes I fought, but otherwise felt handicapped when performing in other situations 🤷‍♂️

[magic sluice]

well yea it complettly changes how the weapon handles, but its a beast against swarms of grunts if you use it right

[wise kiln]

Idk, I feel like it's a beast against a swarm regardless (because of its AoE property), and won't lose DPS due to rockets missing their mark.

I don't have too many OCs for the Hurricane. Would love to try out Plasma Burster Missiles and Jet Fuel Homebrew 🤔

[magic sluice]

jet fuel just makes it so you can barely guide the missiles

[wise kiln]

I'm at already 1.2x velocity with Overtuned Feed Mechanism and I love it, but yeah, maybe 1.5x would be too fast, but 2.5x direct damage sounds like a nice tradeoff to me.

[drifting sail]

Plasma burster is stupid fun.

Not the best, but really fun. You get a swarm of plasma balls like an atomic cloud going on big enemies.

[thin crypt]

Increased splash on hurricane is already perfection

No better OC

[fallow depot]

Anyone know if there's a fix yet to be able to turn up the chat volume on ps5?

[left skiff]

Since main chat is no help: Any idea when the S2 patch 3 will arrive for us black-and-blue box users?

[mossy hatch]

When it's ready

I realize that's no more help than you've already gotten, but it's the only answer at the moment

[left skiff]

Understood

[mossy hatch]

Patches inherently take a bit longer to release for platforms other than Steam since there's specific console requirements that must be met (like passing platform certifications).
Also, there are likely platform specific bugs that the devs would probably like to tackle and roll into any upcoming patch (if it won't unreasonably delay a patch, presumably), so that could add a little time to getting it released.
And, the patch notes seem pretty extensive (just scrolled through, didn't really read them); if the devs changed a lot they may be looking to see how it goes over on Steam first, since they can typically much more rapidly respond to issues on Steam in a way they cannot do on the consoles

[left skiff]

Makes sense.

[thin crypt]

People who spend 10 minutes at the weapon upgrade terminal between every single mission, explain yourselves

[grave oriole]

Googling builds

[left skiff]

P A I N T J O B S

[grave oriole]

Trying to get rid of every ! On every weapon for every class

[magic sluice]

yea, but not every mission.
if you have to look up and change your build for every mission, you should learn to make use of the loadout slots

[magic sluice]

that only happens when you get a cosmetic overclock, which you need to craft first so if you do that between missions its still annoying

[grave oriole]

Imma be honest

I forgot the loadout slots exists

[magic sluice]

5 per class should be plenty to give you all the builds you need at the ready

[grave oriole]

Ye

I should make use of it

[magic sluice]

i didnt make use of them till i was like level 150, so im not much better lmao

[grave oriole]

I'm like maybe level 45 or so

[magic sluice]

but once you take the time to set up your builds in the slots, it'll be much better and save you so much time

[grave oriole]

I'm still waiting for good OCs

[thin crypt]

Console is finally approaching 100% OC completion

[grave oriole]

It didn't help that like my first 2 blank matrix cores I chose cosmetics

[thin crypt]

Kind of bittersweet

PS I guess since Xbox is long since there

[left skiff]

Yeah, for weapon selection, but for S W A G I need more

[magic sluice]

yea but do you need to change your outfit every mission? id say just keep slot 5 with a all round loadout you like and use it make outfits

[grave oriole]

Deep Rock Fashion is the real endgame

[thin crypt]

If your aesthetic doesn’t match your build I pity you

[grave oriole]

I made my pickaxes all match the color of the classes

[magic sluice]

there's a whole subreddit just for it lmao

[grave oriole]

I don't have a good green color so I just use the Dawn of the Dread for Gunner

[left skiff]

Of course there is xD

[thin crypt]

Furthermore if you don’t have at least 3 loadouts for each class making use of every single one of their weapons in some form or combination I ||appreciate that it takes a significant amount of time and investment to get to a point in the game where that is a viable thing to do since this shit ain’t cheap ||

[magic sluice]

drg fashion is peek entertainment

[left skiff]

New mission type: Fashion show

Find a way to make eyeless bugs recognize your drip

[grave oriole]

I used to play Warframe with my gf and fashion is endgame there too

[magic sluice]

not really need for everyone, some weapons you dont enjoy using so there's not point in making a loadout with them

[thin crypt]

Counterpoint

You’re wrong

[magic sluice]

how?

[grave oriole]

is it bad that I find the stubby and the lok-1 more fun than the warthog shotgun for Engineer

[magic sluice]

use whatever weapon is most fun! dont let anyone tell you off for it

[grave oriole]

Epic

[thin crypt]

All weapons are viable and should be appreciated

[drifting sail]

Its what you do with your Stubby that counts.

[magic sluice]

yea, you should give every weapon a try. but if you end up not enjoying it at all, what point is there to use a loadout slot for it?

[drifting sail]

Can spare at least one loadout for each weapon.

[magic sluice]

5 is plenty so you most likely have one to spare, but if you dont then its dumb to replace a build you like with a weapon you dont, just to have it

[mossy hatch]

Or...
One build per class. Switch classes to fit mission/team. I've never needed anything else

I'm glad the loadout slots are they're, they're great, but I just can't be bothered thinking about builds and loadouts

And, bonus, I never take the wrong loadout into a mission, haha

[drifting sail]

Multiple builds for each main weapon, Cryo or fire or even Goo Driller for Dreadnoughts.

Aka 5 fashion slots

[magic sluice]

driller is the best counter example to this:
cry cannon or sludge pump might be your standard weapon, but if you have a rival presence mission you should use the flamethrower instead.
drillers weapons are the only ones where id say you should keep a loadout for them even if you dont like them.

[mossy hatch]

Or... or... just use the flamethrower for everything, haha

[drifting sail]

All classes imo. Gunner is totally different playstyle rockets vs miniguns

[magic sluice]

yea but then you might have a mactera plague mission where the cry is a lot more effective

[drifting sail]

Cryo unless rival... Even then, Colette and pickaxe.

[mossy hatch]

Sure, but I don't need to be more effective, just effective enough, haha

Use terrain to your advantage, get those Mactera to come to you in a tiny tunnel

[magic sluice]

i dont use the cry personally, havent got any good OCs for it yet, i use the sludge as my main and the flamethrower for rivals

[mossy hatch]

Flame's all the same, then

[drifting sail]

Cryo is amazing, best survivability for me.

[magic sluice]

im not saying you have to, but its still handy to have if you need it

[magic sluice]

i dont like the spinup time on it, and it freezes stuff too slowly for my taste

[drifting sail]

Sticky Flames 2nd favorite, and it can freeze very fast

You can reduce spinup to 0.1s as well from 0.5s

[mossy hatch]

Oh, absolutely. I'm just saying I don't need it, haha. The beauty of Deep Rock is there's no wrong way to put together a loadout if you're completing missions and having fun

[magic sluice]

yea but then i use freezing power

[drifting sail]

The spinup is not a big issue, just a matter of awareness against ambush

[magic sluice]

yea, your build might not be effective on haz 5, but you dont have to play haz 5 then, play whatever is most fun

[drifting sail]

Can also flutter the trigger and keep it ready without firing

Haz5 most fun

[magic sluice]

im just saying its not my taste, like the drak it just doesnt feel good to use for me

[drifting sail]

Whaaaaaaaa....? Heresy!

Drak is love

[onyx flax]

Yeelloow. how's everyone doing?

[magic sluice]

i didnt say it was bad, it just feels bad to use for me

i dont enjoy using it

[drifting sail]

[onyx flax]

using what?

a condom? none of us do

[magic sluice]

again, you enjoy using then drak then all power to you! go fuck up some bugs with high rate of fire plasma balls.
its just not a weapon for me

[drifting sail]

I'm messing with you lol

But still, heathen.

[magic sluice]

well, which weapon do you not enjoy usuing? im sure there's at least 1 you dont like

[onyx flax]

Tom hallond here. good talk

[drifting sail]

I honestly cannot think of any that don't have at least one fun OC

[magic sluice]

see, thats my issue, i dont have good OCs yet for the cryo or drak

[drifting sail]

I use... Maybe the Stubby least? But electro turrets still are great.

[mossy hatch]

I use the same single loadout per class for Haz 1 - 5 and EDDs. I only ever change class (when not experimenting with new weapons/OCs), and then only to fit the team I'm on and/or the mission we're doing.
I see people using "more effective" builds all the time, but what exactly is "more effective" when we're both successfully completing missions?

[magic sluice]

i think my least used weapons are the boomstick, cryo and the drak, i used all the others at least for a good while

[magic sluice]

thats what we were talking about originally tho, people who take ages switching up the loadout between missions.
loadout slots a there to make switching builds faster to fit the team and mission

[drifting sail]

Difference between clutch and comfortable, one resupply or three. If you clear, all good, but it's nice to keep refining things.

[mossy hatch]

I'm not disagreeing at all, haha. I'm just saying it's possible to refine it to one build for any occassion and maintain a pretty high success rate

[drifting sail]

Gonna try actually boosting Shard Refractor now.

[mossy hatch]

I love that there's all the ways to go about it though

And a lot of it comes down to play style

I seem to play better when I don't have to think about builds

[mossy hatch]

And fastest is never needing to switch loadouts at all 😉

[trim berry]

Shoudl i complete the assignment to get a new scout gun or finish the last part of my research paper....

[drifting sail]

Homework.

Work first, play later with nothing nagging you.

[wise kiln]

I'm the same. That saying about overanalysis and paralysis 👍

But I did recently switch to a second loadout for each class after buying the DLCs. I wish the game had separate loadouts for your dwarves' cosmetics and equipment 😒

[robust stratus]

If anyone would be interested in grinding for achievements with me, not rn but over the next days/weeks, hmu

[hard furnace]

Hey, I just had a major bug but I'm not sure how to report it.
My partner and I played together (I was hosting) and the map generation was different for the two of us. Terrain discrepancies, nitra only appearing for one of us, appearing to fall through the map and the game mediating our positioning by showing us jumping or placing us in nearby areas, etc

If she mined nitra that wasn't there for me, she wouldn't have any in her bag despite the animation and sfx playing

I have footage on my playstation. Is there a way to submit it in jira? Please ping me if so

[thin crypt]

Do you have any images of the pause screen during the mission? That might help

[hard furnace]

Yep

[thin crypt]

The devs are super active lurkers in here for bugs and whatnot so they’ll almost certainly reply sooner or later

[fossil sierra]

How do we playstation players join a union?

[mossy hatch]

Unions are only available in the Steam version. Don't worry though, you're not missing anything interesting; the feature has absolutely no gameplay associated with it. The only thing the Unions feature does is give a few bonus credits and minerals about once a month

[hard furnace]

On a related note, could someone tell me the easiest way to get my captures onto my PC? I'm assuming usb would be simplest, but I haven't messed with PS5 storage much

[void moon]

USB is the simplest that i know of

[grave oriole]

Was doing a Haz 4 Elimination mission, everything was going good, setting up for 2nd dreadnought

Then the Nemesis attacked

now we're 3 down and the host is trying to outrun it

We all died

The host was a 2 star gunner but never threw their shield down once

[hard furnace]

Unfortunately the shield doesn't really help against nemesis

[neon gorge]

it does

driller can delete nemmy during the duration of the shield with the right build

[wise kiln]

Can Nemmy grab through shield? Cause if not, why wouldn't shield still be helpful 🤔

[trim berry]

How do you break free from those ceiling tentacles, my entire team hilariously died from them after being picked off 1 by 1

Can someone on ps4 help me with rhe assignment to get the cool space garand gun

[grave oriole]

Either teammates have to shoot it or you need Heightened Senses perk

Why is regular Glyphid Dreadnought so scary on Haz 4

First Dreadnought was twins, we killed them within 5 mins

[hard furnace]

It does. And maybe I got unlucky, but it just flew through my shield the first and only time I threw one at it

[grave oriole]

Then the regular Glyphid Dreadnought took 40 mins and like 10+ downs

I only got downed once because I was just using Dash and running around luring it

[void moon]

at haz 4 and above its scream attack is so fast you need dash to escape when your joining with like 100+ ping

even then you need to react fast when your connection is stable

and the damage it does is also very unforgiving

[grave oriole]

hell yeah

I was the only one with Dash on my squad

Cuz everyone wanted to go Beast Master cuz Steeve Army

Steeve died in like 2 seconds after being tamed lmao

[void moon]

its radius is like a big circle when it attacks so there are some times you can jump to evade the attack

[grave oriole]

I was watching them die midair to the radius so lmao

[void moon]

[grave oriole]

sometimes they get knocked up in the air by the flame ball and then immediately die to the stomp or scream

and that flame ball be launching out it's backside to hit someone behind

[void moon]

yeah it the dread tracks one player at a time so when it stops chasing someone its gonna auto lock to another person

that happened to me too

[grave oriole]

Yeah their tracking be wack sometimes

I joined a random Haz 4 Egg Hunt with Haunted Cave

And the host wanted to do Kursite so I tried to lead the Haunted Horror away

but it kept switching back to them every 5 seconds

we failed the event at 11/12

[void moon]

the unknown horror only attacks the one its tracking and not the people near them (i think?)

cause i did a kursite too

but the unknown horror was only interested at the other guy

even thought it was right next to us

[zinc delta]

Is this game dead?

Or do people still play it

[woeful marsh]

Not at all

This game is very much alive

[magic sluice]

the game just got a huge update like 2 weeks ago, why would it get an update if it was dead?

[zinc delta]

I can’t find people

For edd

[light notch]

Have you thrown an invite in #lfg-playstation yet?

[zinc delta]

Yup

[grave oriole]

It also depends on timezones

[grave oriole]

I've finally unlocked Haz 5

time to suffer in the name of Karl

was about to finish the mission without getting downed

until I got grabbed by a grabber who took me under the drop pod and I got smashed

[drifting sail]

Got Cave Leeched into a pack of exploders. We all died.

[drifting sail]

Yes, but it can change its mind about who to target at any point.

[grave oriole]

I finally got Karl Would be Proud but I almost failed it because the Drop Pod landed very high and had the exit face the wall

[grave oriole]

Uh I just found some weird black structure with an error name

[void moon]

in the radioactive exclusion?

[grave oriole]

Yeah

[void moon]

it looks like a double helix or spring thing right

[grave oriole]

Ye

[void moon]

ye idk whats the deal with that too

something related to error cube

[grave oriole]

Maybe if we throw the error cube into it

[crystal wraith]

Its karls dna

He got absorbed by the planet

And now it is evolving into a planet dwarf hybrid

A dwarf planet one might say

[grave oriole]

They just spoiled the next 5 seasons

I am now at 50/100 Solo Missions and I am going to go insane

[drifting sail]

Wdym, Bosco is the best. I got solo trophy before teamwork one.

Do a couple solo Point Extractions with him.

[void moon]

[grave oriole]

I've been doing hazard 2 egg hunt/point extraction this whole time

yes Bosco is the best

But the speed he goes while carrying something

[drifting sail]

Yeah...

I usually try to go to him with Molly.

[grave oriole]

I'm now 58/70 Trophies

I would've had Car Pool by now but everytime I play with my friends, either we don't find silicate harvesters or one of them kills it by accident

[drifting sail]

I've accidentally killed it while riding, oddly difficult trophy to get.

[grave oriole]

it also doesn't help that the second we get on one, it decides to go up a wall

or under somewhere that knocks us off

[drifting sail]

Yeah. Need bugs, team and a flat surface all at the same time.

[crystal wraith]

Radiation zone its the most common afaik

Also less of a clusterfuck as a biom in itself

[lime tundra]

you can just use the exploit that lets you count joined missions as solo missions, much nicer

just select a solo mission before you pull up the server browser to join someone and it'll count as solo too

[raw garden]

when i use the forge on my friends server i get crashes constantly

also, the "volatile impact reactor" overclock showsd red in the forge but yellow in my shard diffractor overclock menu

this is a bug

[grave oriole]

Do I need to select the start mission too or just select solo

[drifting sail]

Ugh. EDD rolled back on me and I don't want to do it again. Even backed up to cloud, wth.

[lime tundra]

just select solo, then pull up the server browser and go from there

[grave oriole]

Interesting

[grave oriole]

Just showed a friend who's never heard of DRG a clip of it and they thought "rock and stone" was "rocket stove"

[summer bane]

lol

[mossy hatch]

Rocket stove to the grove!

[wise kiln]

Love me a good banana loaf.

[grave oriole]

gotta love it when we're out of ammo and nitra and the game decides to throw 2 Bulk Detonators at us

[magic sluice]

time to melee for your life

[grave oriole]

We managed to collect enough nitra by slaughtering every Lootbug on the map (rest in Karl) and after exploding like 20 times

[worn harness]

Patch 03 incoming

We are now pushing the patch that is on steam to Playstation
For more info about changes take a look in #patch-notes-steam

Rock and Stone

[grave oriole]

I found compressed gold and wanted to hear We're Rich but forgot I was playing solo so Bosco yoinked it

[scenic nebula]

Rock and stone you beautiful dwarf

[gentle nymph]

What's "light mode" on the touch pad settings? Does it just change how the lighting is?

[random forge]

I'm assuming so

Because my controller changes color every now and then

Idek if it changes color based on your chosen class, if you're downed etc etc

[gentle nymph]

Oh wait yea that makes sense

I never thought about the light bar

[covert valve]

Stone and Rock

[magic sluice]

does the drg ultimate upgrade pack include all future DLC packs aswell?

[wise kiln]

Nah.

[covert valve]

Where’s the PlayStation emoji!?

I see Xbox…

[quaint zinc]

🎮

[random forge]

It's the one feature of PS controllers that I completely forget exists

[thin crypt]

Unironically there was that EDD two or three weeks after launch that had 2 dread fights in the first round and a doretta in the second with fuck all nitra and we figured our best option was to just save ammo on the dreads and pickaxe em to death

[halcyon saddle]

Who's up for EDD?

[wise kiln]

Drillers never leave themselves behind

[gritty wasp]

who needs a seat belt anyway?

[grave oriole]

If you go down but your team still extracts, do you still get full rewards?

[mossy hatch]

Yep! Everyone gets the same everything at the end. The only thing that you (and everyone else) misses out on is a few bonus credits for each dwarf that makes it into the drop pod. It's just a couple hundred credits, so it's no big deal at all

[grave oriole]

okay epic

because when I play with my friends, the Driller main always drops C4 at the end and it usually kills our friend that plays Scout

[mossy hatch]

You'll see a survival bonus on the Mission Summary screen in the itemized credits summary, and that's literally the only thing affected if anyone doesn't make it into the drop pod

[hybrid parcel]

Its honestly disgusting how some players act. Im in the second stage of a elite deepdive and these two people decide to kill me TAKE THE REST OF THE MORKITE then LEAVE, my last driller and i revive eachother, FINISH the drilldozer mission, only to find out the two leaflovers that left stole the last of the morkite and now the mission cant be completed, what kind of piece of shit do you have to be to purposly try your hardest to fuck up someones deep dive

Why isnt their more then enough morkite especially on these deep dives

Its ridiculous

[grave oriole]

bruh

Also if they stole it and left, I think you can find their supply box things to deposit it

[hybrid parcel]

Nah their person took minerals when they left its dumb it even works like that

[grave oriole]

bruh

[hybrid parcel]

I dont understand how thats even a feature in the game, i guess they just never thought people would be that petty

Its sad people try so hard to ruin other peoples fun, and out of no where i was literally just filling the gas for the dozer, then they randomly kill me and take the morkite and leave, leaving me with the last driller, two people left instantly like they were in a party laughing about it, who finds enjoyment ruining peoples hard work

[mossy hatch]

If someone disconnects, they drop a little, white hexagonal container full of whatever resources they had on their character. You can pick those up and deposit them in the mule

[hybrid parcel]

Damn i didnt even see em, tried searching everywhere, i ending up quiting cause i thought it was a lost cause, ill make sure to look for those next time

Usually they light up when your using your marker thing but i didnt see em

[mossy hatch]

They can be hard to find, especially if you don't know where the person was when they disconnected. And the only glow faintly, so they're harder to spot in a well-lit space than a dark space

[robust stratus]

Thats odd. I've found the playerbase on this game to be massively superior to any other game I have ever played on ps. And that goes back a long time

[eternal hornet]

how do I log out of DRG without closing it on ps4

[south jetty]

Why wouldn't you just close it out tho

[lime tundra]

it's probably one of the best ones yeah, but that doesn't mean there aren't asshats around, just that there are fewer

play long enough and it's inevitable to find them. I've met my share, thankfully most people are perfectly fine

[eternal hornet]

annoying

[grave oriole]

Yeah I once played some random On Site Refining mission and the host was some Gold 3 Star Scout who was screeching at us for not saving them from fall damage while they were trying to grab a Enor Pearl on the ceiling

and the Driller was already trying to make their way up there

[eternal hornet]

gross

people like that suck

[umbral pasture]

3 of us got killed be griefer before the escape. He left after that. I thought the mission would fail but after the timer run out, it counted as successful even though we never managed to reach the escape pod. Not sure if bug or antigrief measure but that was pretty nice.

[grave oriole]

[halcyon saddle]

ROCK AND STONE FOREVER

[grave oriole]

Wish there was a way to blacklist or put griefers on some public board to avoid them permanently

[magic sluice]

You can see them through walls with the marker tool. so if you cant find them dig a small tunnel and look around, you should see them through the walls like you do supply drops and players

[magic sluice]

Very true, in 600+ missions played and probably 1000 different players met i've only come across a few toxic players and only 1 griefer.
They do exist but they're few and far between luckily

[grave oriole]

bruh

I just joined a random Egg Hunt mission

Everyone was downed, I fell off wherever I spawned and lost like 80% HP to fall damage, there was a Nemesis, a Crassus Detonator and like 50 Naedocytes because of a breeder

and this happened before 5 mins

[split ruin]

My ps4 says there’s no server

[calm nexus]

true, the general drg playerbase is pretty chill

I think i've only had one bad altercation in game so far

[frigid adder]

Can you open the text chat in conntroller

[wise kiln]

I was wondering this, as well. Is it possible without KBaM?

[mystic wedge]

most are fine but in the last 20 hrs of game play ive met more griefers and shitheads than the previous 200 hrs. might just be random distribution but because it is so uncommon, when it does happen it pisses me off more lol

[thin crypt]

I’m pretty sure player drops show up on the map as little yellow things

I think, could be wrong

Similar to eggs, minerals and aquarqs etc

[thin crypt]

I believe you can map it, I think default might be double tapping R3 or so I’ve heard

[wise kiln]

The concept of double XP is really lost on some people... it's double XP escort, random, no you will not have time finish this and double dip, so, instead of pushing the drilldozer button at the heartstone, allow us a few extra worthwhile minutes to mine more minerals 🤦‍♂️ today has not been my day with pubs...

[grave oriole]

Go to options, controls, customize controls and enable it on the 4th/5th box, it defaults to clicking R3 2 times

[frigid adder]

Thanks

[mystic wedge]

maybe people are rushing now to unlock the new weapons... idk. ive found people rush to press buttons and have no time for machine events a lot more. ironically the rush can lead to losing the whole mission and getting jack shit in terms of xp

[oblique cloud]

tbh I don't think people like playing with randoms very much

[magic sluice]

Most of the time randoms are fine, but when you do find some who are just braindead or annoying, it can ruin the whole mission

[wise kiln]

Yep. Here's me just hoping more people respect their teammates and wait to rock 'n' stone when they're ready 🤷‍♂️ and most randoms are fine, as Duncan said, I'm just feeling salty about my experiences today and need a place to vent 😔

[magic sluice]

I know late joining is a bit of a shitty thing aswell but if you wanna unlock them fast just do that, or set the mission on haz 1 and rush it solo

[mystic wedge]

Yeah I only bitch bc it thankfully doesn't happen often enough to get used to it lol

I late join sometimes and sometimes they def didn't need me and sometimes I save the mission just like sometimes I get mine saved by late joiners so i don't mind when people hop on late. Ot doesn't take anything from me as long as they contribute and don't rush it

[magic sluice]

Tbh i dont see any issue with late joining, yea you get a reward without mich work but the team you join doesnt loose anything from you joining.
As long as you help finish the mission and dont just sit around letting them do all the work, i dont see the issue with it

[wise kiln]

I used to hate late joiners, because it legit felt like only xp leechers looking for a "quick" platinum scanning the server list for > 10min games (thankfully those guys are mostly doing that glitched mission shit with a negative timer now) but now I'm seeing more late joiners that actually help the team, mine, shoot bugs, you know, CONTRIBUTE, so, I'm not as salty about it anymore.

[oblique cloud]

I just kick dudes who aren't doing anything

I never join anyone elses games

I love bein host bc then I can rid myself of idiots, there was once a gunner who just kept team killing our engi for almost no reason after joining so I gave him the boot

[magic sluice]

Exectly, late joining is ok if you still act like a decent player about it and pull your weight for the rest of the mission

I dont gain anything from finishing the mission with an empty seat in the drop pod, so might aswell allow someone to join and be happy knowing it saved them some work

[covert valve]

Recently I've sorted my browser by longest session, and I join the ones 20mins in, join right when the team is running to the exit. Faster leveling up, isn't it?

[mossy hatch]

I mean, if you don't want to play the missions, you can just play a game you do want to play

¯_(ツ)_/¯

But as long as you're not being a jerk, do whatever you like with your free time, haha

[frigid adder]

What if they enjoy leveling up fast

[mossy hatch]

Just watch a digital clock? The numbers go up and you can do even less game playing, haha

I just don't know why anyone would want to level up in a game they don't want to play. There's so many games to play, and so little time. Why not play a game you enjoy actually playing?

But like I said, as long as you're not being a jerk, waste your time however you like, haha

[mystic wedge]

I've done that before trying to knock out the last mission in an assignment before bed but I usually will join whatever game that is actually started at the haz I want and needs the miner I'm leveling.

If none exist, ill host.

I'm not sure I ever host a public lobby and finished a whole mission without someone joining it.

He might also be trying to promote for the first time to start oc hunting

After you promote once the levels and xp matter waaaay less so super late joins end up just being more laid screen time than it's worth

[thin crypt]

As long as you put in some work it doesn’t matter

[wise kiln]

Started Gunner as Thunderhead & Bulldog > but now... Hurricane & BRT7 👀 and Born Ready is kinda great on Gunner, cause of the reload time on most of his guns 👌 trying to get used to switching guns instead of reload to increase damage uptime during swarms.

What grenade do you guys like for Gunner? I used to go Incendiary for the coverage, and maybe that's still the way to go, but I'm starting to like the Sticky grenade as it reliably one-shots grunts in swarms. I like the Cluster, and I think the math might be that it has the highest DPS, but it's also super erratic and unreliable?

Also, Coil Gun with Re-atomizer OC + 1(3)3122 is so nice rn 👌

[frigid adder]

I only use incendiary with volatile bullets in which case ut's the best

If not i run cluster because it covers more area

[wise kiln]

How do you aim cluster? Straight at the enemy, or do you try to approximate the, sort of, fountain/umbrella trajectory of each bomb?

[frigid adder]

I usually aim it at the center of the swarm, contemplating the bounce, so a little behind the most front enemy, and it works fine

[valid crystal]

coil gun and hellfire either works great or horribly with incendiary

on one hand they act very similar but on the other hand they act too similar

[wise kiln]

I don't have that perk yet, but with -200 ammo I'm guessing it needs some setup to payoff?

[valid crystal]

kinda but if you run the ammo tear mod in the first one it basically just becomes a complete upside

also the burn effect is super strong and can burn oppressors in seconds without them cooling

best works on swarms

[thin crypt]

Is hellfire supposed to proc on partial charges or no? I’ve always wondered

When I first equipped it nothing ever happened and the actual burning AoE wouldn’t proc at all

Then I reset all the traits and shit and now it’ll proc on full charges, but I hear about people spamming single charges for the burn aoe and mine just doesn’t do that 🤔

[neon gorge]

it does not require setup

[neon gorge]

hellfire does not work with partial shots

[crystal wraith]

have the devs said something about being able to switch the lazer with the charge beam overclock to stop it from useing up all the magazine?

[eternal hornet]

what do you mean?

@crystal wraith

[crystal wraith]

the shard diffractor oc that makes it so if you hit square it fires the whole magazine but it does more dmg

you can just use it for a target and then switch to your primary

to make it stop

and as far as I can tell you dont lose out on any ammo that hasnt been shot

so I feel like it kinda defeats the purpose of the drawback

[eternal hornet]

ah

[valid crystal]

i think it has to be on full charge, it’s probably worth running the reload time over the one which lets you shoot on any charge

but its up to you

[lime tundra]

I was running the partial charge one with hellfire just for the bigger trails hellfire gives to all trails, and it's surprisingly effective even with only a 25% charge. mostly kills lines of grunts even on haz5

[thin crypt]

Triple tech chambers or ultra magnetic coils would be better for single charge spam right?

[lime tundra]

the main benefit of hellfire is it has that massive trail radius up on it whereas triple tech doesn't and umc's is smaller, so you can get a massive trail radius from the oc and still get to pick electric trails

I'd probably call them sidegrades in terms of how you want to play, whether with 3 small trails, 1 medium electric + long duration trail, or 1 short but large electric

using hellfire also gives the option to fire off a full charge when needed, and that one's strong

[thin crypt]

Ohh I forgot hellfires not been nerfed on console yet

Although I think technically even post nerf the trail is larger than ultra magnetic coils, it just lasts significantly less time

[lime tundra]

nah the nerf happened already

it's why I said it's the shorter but larger option

3s is still a decent amount of time though, enough to mostly kill haz5 grunts even with a 25% shot

I've honestly been using it as my 'primary' weapon I keep out most of the time because it's so efficient

[wise kiln]

Does anyone use turret whip with Engi, or is it kind of a waste of time?

Also, is it weird that I don't mess with sticky flames on my Driller's flamethrower? Yes, I have the Sticky OC.

Asking as a Scout/Gunner main

[mossy hatch]

I'm pretty sure I'm weird... just... in general... so you'll probably want a second opinion, because I use the Flamethrower and definitely don't use Sticky Flames

[thin crypt]

I use face melter 90% of the time for my OC and only have the actual sticky flame traits equipped occasionally

Also turret whip is pretty good, definitely recommend

[wise kiln]

Does it only fire the once per Warthog shot? If so, that's a lot of upkeep, no?

[thin crypt]

Yea you shoot the turret and the turret shoots a little pgl essentially

At whatever it’s aiming at

Basically any time your turrets are shooting into a group or at a somewhat beefy target you turret whip em ezpz

[frigid adder]

Same here

face melter is awesome

[drifting sail]

Sticky Flames is glorious, I use it over Facemelter 90% of the time for ammo conservation and crowd control.

And you can draw rude things on the walls.

[onyx flax]

I like sticky for gunner

[open vault]

Same with SD

[twin ingot]

When you say “rock and stone” but non of your Nintendo friends know 🥲

[crystal wraith]

sticky flames is so nice with the new rival presence, you just squirt a little bit of your juice underneath the towers and they take care of themselfs. a whole cluster takes less than one magazine that way

[thin crypt]

I’ve had the opposite experience where I put flames on the ground as close as I can get to them and they won’t ignite

Face melter with max flow rate and ignition speed lights those things up pretty much instantaneously which does the job well enough for me

[oblique cloud]

you can kill nemesis with sticky flames too, just shoot on the floor under him the hitbox for sticky flames actually goes up pretty high

or make a line in front of him as he follows you

[drifting sail]

Yeah, height of Sticky is surprising. Works amazing for overlapping dmg when you do a spiral up a hiding tunnel vs swarm.

I shoot the ground in front of the bugs for best results, letting them get slowed and burned.

[wise kiln]

That's how I've seen people using it, but when I use it the bugs just walk through 😐 what's your perk selection?

Man, sometimes I really feel useless as Engi. Here's this class, great at bridging terrain for teammates, turret puts in a lot of work, secondary has great crowd control options (at the expense of its small ammo pool), great aggro/spacing tools with its nades, but each primary weapon feels so underwhelming to me compared to every other class, and when I'm face to face with a swarm, suddenly I can just be overwhelmed, whereas with Scout = easy escapes, Gunner = never really bullied, Driller = amazing AoE on its primaries.

I guess I also just feel underwhelmed at the moment from trying out Shard Diffractor, and losing, admittedly, my Breach Cutter crutch for those panic moments 😮‍💨

[wise kiln]

I take some of it back, smart rifle with neuro lasso is fuckin' great 👍

[worn gull]

Engi primaries are weaker than other class primaries

In exchange his secondaries are cracked in comparison to others too

Have to do somewhat specific things if you want wave clear on primary, usually better to leave it to secondary

I use em discharge on stubby for crazy wave clear, ecr on lok is decent enough, but generally it should be left to your secondaries

[thin crypt]

Magnetic pellet warthog is very stronk

[mystic wedge]

Yeah I just use lok for getting high value targets or far away targets handled while letting turrets do some of my crowd control with the breach cutter as the panic button when there are too many grunts for the lok to handle

I dont use any other primary

[wise kiln]

I figured. I've been having better games today, at least. I tried ECR once on Lok and didn't love it, like, how strong is the explosion supposed to be? 🤷‍♂️

[mystic wedge]

Also the proximity nades

[wise kiln]

I was using this before, and with Breach Cutter it feels great because of the BC's added coverage, but with SD as secondary I feel a bit exposed if there's too much on screen. What perks do you use, extra pellets? I'm currently running 21322, and I've played around with it a lot; the decreased RoF sucks.

[wise kiln]

I like the mines, but the friendly fire can suck on EDD levels, to myself, too, but I need to place them better during hacks and stuff.

[drifting sail]

23231 on Sticky

Also, so much for a casual Haz3... We killed 4x Bulk Detonators and we weren't fast enough to beat Doretta's insatiable bloodlust - she drilled the Crassus.

[wise kiln]

Gonna try this, thx!

[worn gull]

Strong enough to kill a handful of clustered grunts, but it's mainly for hvts at long range

Since his other primaries don't do long range as well. Okay but not as good as lok, and ecr for ammo efficiency

Wave clear secondary I used rj250 pgl or vir/endothermic sd

[wise kiln]

Just had a driller rage quit cause he didn't get enough support to finish the hacking event (I can't hack for shit, but pls take my turret and Lok for cover 👍 ) and he C4'd one of our teammates before he left. Then had a 400PL gunner asking to kick the greenbeard driller that joined us; driller died a few times, but we still finished the mission alive in the drop pod it's been a while since I've heard how pathetic someone asking for a kick could sound (my Destiny raiding and Overwatch ranked days...)

It's been a toxic weekend 😔

[drifting sail]

lol, public

[wise kiln]

I envy the solo gods, but also after 100 solo missions for the trophy I'm desperate for company lol.

[drifting sail]

When you're using Sticky, try throwing a slight diagonal to your lines, whichever direction you are going. Helps pulling bugs into the flame.

*presuming you are bouncing backwards away from swarm

I usually solo, Bosco is so much better than teammates for almost everything...

[wise kiln]

Gonna try ECR on my 23313 Lok 👍 I also have that Endothermic OC for SD, only OC I have so far, but seems crazy? you have to shoot your platforms first to get a damage boost?

[worn gull]

It takes a bit to learn how big the platform laser hitbox is (massive, nearly as wide as a Doretta tunnel), but once you get used to it, it's absurdly strong

And this is just the laser hitting the platform part, the explosion is crazy strong too

Just that the first part is so strong most nearby grunts die before the explosion

[neon gorge]

Ecr is insanely strong. Spam 3 lock bursts on grunts for great aoe

Take 21111 for any loki build that isn’t executioner

[wise kiln]

Just tried it out (on Haz 4, mind) and yeah, the explosion thing just knocks any nearby grunts out 👍 but I'm still not getting the first description of the OC, "shooting platforms doubles AoE range and damage," so, are we only seeing that while the SD is aimed at or hitting a platform? 🤔 if that's the case, my 12113 build should hit for 18 damage x 13 discharge rate = 234 area damage per second in a 4.2m, which is pretty damn good? except it requires a killzone built on top of platforms, right? 😅

[wise kiln]

I'm noticing some decent damage returns with the electric rounds + explosive chemical rounds on the Loki, but I'm surprised you're always taking those perks? What're your thoughts on the Fear effect (great PSX game btw) cause I use it on the Gunner auto-cannon and think it's one of the best damage types in the game, literally stops enemy animation, increases the distance between you and them, and in some cases turns them around to reveal a weak point, not saying it works as well on the Loki...

[worn gull]

The double part only happens when you shoot a platform yes, but double damage in 4.2m radius (4x the area of not shooting a platform) is absurd by itself, even before the explosion happens

You don't really need a kill zone, it takes a bit to learn but you can eventually get used to shooting a platform quickly Infront of a pack of enemies then swap and shoot the platform itself

The aoe is so big that you have a good bit of leniency to work with

I actually run ammo instead of area damage because 100 is a lot, and the double damage means even the base does quite well

I've heard the explosion part is a fixed 400 damage in a 5m radius, but no confirmation on that so take with salt

It feels right with what I see in game at least

[wise kiln]

platforms > lure grenade > 🤯

[wise kiln]

Hmm! so, 32 and what do you use for the other 3 perks? I went with mag size, heat, and slowdown, cause before I'd use it to burst down praetorians, etc.

[worn gull]

I use sticky rather than lure, but I could see it working

The area is so big the smell of a tasty dwarf is enough of a lure for my purposes

Don't have access to the game ATM, but I believe I ran armor break instead of heat because the desc makes it sound like it the heat only applies to direct damage rather than area damage (no confirmation on that)

And I pretty much never directly shoot anything, would rather shoot a platform next to it

[wise kiln]

lol nice. Thanks for inspiring me on this, gonna do some further testing. As for heat and armor break, I tried out armor break on praetorians and oppressors, and it seemed okay... for whatever reason heat was bursting them down much quicker from shooting them directly. But yeah, if it's area damage, then I'm also not sure which is better.

[worn gull]

You can't break oppressor armor, so it does nothing on them

Praet you can, but as I said I never directly shoot stuff so heat doesn't do anything for me, so might as well shatter the armor is everything nearby

If I shoot directly I get 7 direct (affected by wp) and 7 area to 2.1m, but if I shoot platform nearby I get 14 area to everything in 4.2m, along with a big boom in a bit

And usually there's other targets around to be killing

Costs one platform ammo but I rarely run out of those anyway unless I'm doing some fancy tree fort

Endothermic is really strong, just the visual is non-existent so most don't realize just how big it is

[wise kiln]

And my dumbass still had Repellant Additive on the platform gun 🤦‍♂️ been looking for a reason to get rid of that perk, hello expanded ammo bags! 😎

[lime tundra]

I still run repellent when using endothermic, mostly because lazy, but also because it makes it slightly easier to be shooting the platform because bugs might avoid it

the area is big enough that it's fine even if they walk around it after all

repellent itself is super useful for other things

[neon gorge]

i dont think fear is at all necessary when ecr has innate fear and tier 5a and b both give the gun 20% to 40% more damage

fear on autocannon tends to be bad for a different reason. Unless ur using neurotoxin payload, you dont want to scatter the bugs because it will be faster to kill them when they're clumped together

[lime tundra]

also confirmed just now that endothermic is great against caretaker too

takes a bit of setup since you need to make a line of platforms over his head (after the shield goes down, so after the fight starts), but once you do you can lazily pop all the vents on your own with just some platform explosions without having to feel bad about taking fat boy for the same purpose or needing to rely on a driller and his c4

[crystal wraith]

Do the warp mines break the platforms?

[lime tundra]

nope

they don't damage terrain at all

[ionic gyro]

hi guys, one of my friends is playing drg on ps4,and he just launched the game after season 2 started, his game progress has restarted to level 1

[balmy jewel]

Oh I would join but I gotta level up my engineer lol

Need to promote

[vast trench]

Does anyone if there's a way to deal with the reload and use button being the same. For example, the drill animation plays when you pick up a crystal with the drill selected. I also can't find it on Jira, I assumed it was a widespread problem especially on consoles.

[soft vault]

Does anyone know if any of the devs have mentioned or if a dev can answer if they plan to add the option to have a heat gauge on the crosshair officially? As us console players don’t have access to the heat gauge mod.

[wise kiln]

That's fair 👍 I feel like bugs still crawl all over whenever they feel like it 😅 but maybe I'm not good enough at creating a platform path to direct enemies a certain way.

[wise kiln]

Fair point about the autocannon, and I haven't tested it consistently enough, but I've had success with Fear, and I feel it's pretty viable all things considered, which is to say, sure, you can minmax damage + ammo efficiency, but can you always account for necessary team damage? and can you always account for being overrun? Maybe you can, but I usually have different experiences, especially in pubs, as I don't have a dedicated group I play with, so, builds that account for these variables have proven to mostly help me and how I'll play, whether that's aggressive or reserved.

About the innate fear on Loki, are you referring to any explosion proc? 🤔

[wise kiln]

No way to rebind those controls? I know what you mean, though, especially with Driller's drills, it's so annoying cause I feel that animation has a longer cancel period... also reloading on a pipeline 😒

[vast trench]

There's no way to rebind them separately as far as I can tell

[neon gorge]

ECR's explosion has innate fear

The fear on tier 5 is centered around the player and has a raduis of 2.4m + 0.15m per bullet fired

i think its very bad compared to the amount of fear ECR has, on top of the fact that ECR's fear is based around the explosion

[wise kiln]

Doh! I'm stupid 🤦‍♂️ didn't realize that's how fear worked on the Loki, I thought it was on bullet hit.

In that case, yeah, it's bad.

[neon gorge]

just so you know, m1 fear is also player based

[wise kiln]

On the sniper rifle? Yeah, not sure what I have equipped, but not fear 👍

[covert valve]

I think my "kill dreadnought" mission is bugged. The arbalest just ran away and won't come back. We didn't kill it. It disappeared. Now our mission is stuck can't complete.

[lime tundra]

using repellent normally takes some learning. the big thing is realizing that those only count for twice their actual distance on bug pathing, so you can't get too crazy with it, but it's enough to create some chokes

this pic is a good starting point to reference: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1688278758

this vid shows how big the repellent box is, it's a bit bigger than you'd expect https://youtu.be/m8P3t9qJHu4

the only time I don't take repellent is on caretaker missions as engie has some fun stuff he can do with plat forts there (esp now with endothermic), so I need all the plats I can get

[covert valve]

Anyone want to do carpool trophy?

[crystal wraith]

I always use it to block the ceilings so they dont crawl on top of my head when I am defending against the wall

That way if they do come from the top they crawl around and group up with the resr

Bonus points for blocking acid and web spitters

[covert valve]

Molly uses same pathing as bugs if you want to test your repellent

If you figure out who it's locked to, one dwarf can kite Nemesis or detonators away from the dozer while others defend.

Anyone an expert when it comes to PS4 save data for DRG?

I was loading up my game and my save data became corrupted suddenly. My psplus cloud was too full and does not have DRG on it, But there are a couple player backup files that are still uncorrupted on the hard drive. I deleted the corrupted data file and have tried reloading the game with save data from two days ago but no matter what I do it seems to just make a brand new save file every time I attempt to have it use one of the two backups.

[covert valve]

Hello gus

[umbral pasture]

I played with randoms, they went down pretty quickly. I was the last one left but nemesis was blocking the main tunnel. Meanwhile the bugs were destroying the drilldozer which kept going forward.

[plucky oasis]

Damn guys, let me tell you the story. I'm Ukrainian and because of the war I've left my home and PC with it. I got PS5 though. Wish there was crossplay between PC and PS5, would've really loved to play with my friends again

[willow cloud]

Yes I think once a day

[iron shale]

Is there any way to use a ps5 save on a ps4? I know you can use ps4 saves on ps5 but not ps5 on ps4

[mossy hatch]

I'm pretty sure that's not possible, mostly due to the way that Sony limits save file migration

[iron shale]

I thought it was uploded to the cloud

Maybe they just don't want players moving the ps5 save to ps4

Or didn't think anyone would try to do that so they didn't add it

[mossy hatch]

I believe a dev mentioned that, due to limitations imposed by Sony, the save file could only go one way. Here:

#playstation message

[thin crypt]

Yea you can upload your save files to play them when you play PS4 versions of games on PS5

But when you play specifically the PS5 version it’s a goner

[wise kiln]

What's the proximity of your PS4 to your PS5 and wifi network? cause I stream from PS5 to my PS4 (in my bedroom) often, and DRG plays pretty decently over a solid network connection.

Edit: as others have said, though, I'm not sure about PS5 to PS4 save file transfer/cross-progression 😕

[iron shale]

They're next to each other. That's not the problem. I just was wondering why they don't allow ps5 to ps4

[summer bane]

Are trophies bugged again . Exploring my options didn't pop for me last night when i got the new primary and secondary guns for the engineer?

[covert valve]

Because of modding the save data fron the ps5

[lime tundra]

the vast majority of games don't allow going from ps5 to ps4. there are a handful that do, but that's mainly because the dev coded something specifically for it

ffo is the most recent example I can think of off the top of my head, but it's definitely on the rarer side

[mossy hatch]

I imagine games where your data is saved server-side would just work on whatever hardware you log in on (provided they have both native PS4 and PS5 versions). But for any game saving save data locally and/or in Sony's cloud, saves are presumably subject to Sony's methods and their limitations (unless the devs explicitly go out of their way to build a system to transfer save data backwards for the presumably limited amount of people who would want to do that)

[wise kiln]

The most important lesson I learnt going from Scout to Gunner was: make 👏 sure 👏 you 👏 have 👏 an 👏 exit 👏 and my dumbass just skipped that on Dense Biozone with Engi, cause of course the ingress had the most goddamn vertical pit of a drop imaginable AND I DIDN'T BOTHER BUILDING PLATFORMS UP! wiped a perfectly good solo run ugh 🤦‍♂️

On the upside, turret whip is good 👍 not sure how much more damage it's doing, but I noticed the turret mowing down more targets, though, didn't realize it sacrifices 5x the ammo per shot.

Do people like the the fat boy > hyper propellant on the PGL? also, what's a good hyper propellant build? I'm going with 21212 and it's almost OHKing Oppressors on weak point hit, granted with rng damage, so, I think that's kinda nice.

[quaint zinc]

Oh yeah, Exit strategies are definitely important. Scout has the easiest one but always good to refine the other 3’s exit strategies.

[slim jacinth]

Imo gunner has the hardest time having exit strategies since he has the worst mobility. You have Ziplines but the ammo is extremely limited compared to every other classes utility

Plus going up they are slow and flies just knock you off xD

[slim jacinth]

They are still wonky, my co op buddy had them glitched recently for a couple of sessions and then when they released a small patch (not the one that fixed the trophies) this season, they started working again

[quaint zinc]

Almost like trying to escape a burning building but you chose to use a series of elevators and escalators.

[umbral pasture]

Because PS5 allows you to download and play PS4 games, as well as sync PS4 save files. PS5 games have an option to read "foreign" PS4 save files that are present on the device. The same is not possible for PS4 -- you can't physically move your PS5 save file over to PS4 console so the game has nothing to import.

[iron shale]

I still think it's just the devs not wanting players to do that.

Cause in ubisoft games you have cross progression both ways

[umbral pasture]

To add to this: some games support transfers in both ways -- PS4 <-> PS5. In this case the publisher runs a separate online service to track progress. e.g. Fall Guys

Yeah, Ubisoft does this, see above.

[iron shale]

Fall guys is online only so everything is basically stored in their servers. I was talking about games that store data locally.

[umbral pasture]

Ubisoft transfers your save file through their servers. Which part you don't get?

[iron shale]

I know. And i assume that's what DPR does too.

If i'm not wrong

[umbral pasture]

The "PS4->PS5" transfer is done on the device and supported by PS5 SDK. Takes a short time to implement.

DPR is what?

[iron shale]

My bad

DRG*

[umbral pasture]

That's what I'm saying, DRG reads local PS4 file. No servers at all. 🙂

[iron shale]

Ahh. Thought they were uploading your latest save data to the cloud

[umbral pasture]

nah, you need to use PS+ cloud or USB drive

but this is separate from DRG, it's all provided by sony

[slim jacinth]

Nice analogy ahah yesterday I got slapped twice into a pit running back to the drop pod, sure felt like I was in a burning building

[quaint zinc]

Oof

I was in a Deep Dive and disconnected midway

[velvet magnet]

Mood

Hope they'll add a reconnect to game option one day

[ember lintel]

Re: Save transfer PS5->PS4 I don’t think it’s something Sony supports. Ubisoft does it by handling save data on their servers, but we do not have their setup or infrastructure, and while we do store backups in the cloud on some platforms, we don’t have any means to let players access them cross platform, like with an Ubisoft account.

[grave oriole]

I just had a game where I was engineer and my teammate was a scout, just the two of us, but in the intro when the drop pod lands and they talk, a Driller started talking

[hollow umbra]

The EDD this week is not my friend apparently.

[wise kiln]

<looks at the pin in deep dive discussion> oof! that EDD lol.

[crystal wraith]

some people are saying its a lot easier this week compared to the last one

[wise kiln]

Nice, then! I just saw liquid morkite, twins, rival presence and immediately nope'd in my mind 😄 but yeah, anything's possible with a good team. Had a nightmare last week with randoms and still nearly finished stage 3, so, good news if people are finding more success with this week's.

[hollow umbra]

Weird. Last week wasn't so bad for me but this one seems hateful.

[crystal wraith]

hm personally escort mission with detonators in them are probably in my top 3 hardest missions but maybe its cause I play solo

Ah haha, gg! I probably did some stupid shit, I can't even remember now, but ty 😅 loved your heartstone platform defence 🤘

[lime tundra]

you used endothermic to blow shit up, that's the important part

I actually meant to bring endothermic but forgot I had overdrive on that loadout, ah well

but yeah you can do some nice stuff with bug repellent, in that case funneling bugs into my emd turrets

and having that nice overwatch spot is useful even without emd

[foggy imp]

Its off by default

Also its in controller mapping for some reason if u wanna turn it on

I was wondering what the heck that purple electricity coming off the turrets was, but it's a Stubby OC, eh? I don't have that one yet, but looked awesome and like it was putting in work 💪 I was trying out different perks on the Stubby the other day, and while I love the elec AoE stun capabilities of it, the thing burns through ammo like nothing else, even with all the good ammo perks. Hopefully I can get that OC to try out some time.

Ah! cause I was gg'ing all day in chat and trying to coordinate objectives, and like, no response in chat, and I think I've only ever gotten two other players that've typed anything in chat before, and there were a few people that weren't even acknowledging when I'd ask to not press the button, often cause we haven't even done the secondary objective. At least now I know they probably didn't even see my messages 😐

[foggy imp]

people can see it

Oh, so they can see new chat notifications, but if they want to type anything, they'd have to turn on the setting to double hit L3 (or keyboard).

yeah they'd have to know it's there and then turn it on, and since it's new to s2 many don't

the lightning is an oc yeah, em discharge, probably one of the most ammo efficient ocs in the game

only costs 2-3 shots on average to get that lightning blast which does very good damage. it's just a bit weird since I rarely ever shoot a bug while using that, pretty am exclusively shooting my turrets

Nice. I had gotten that same sense when using the Warthog turret whip. Seemed like a different, viable way to play Engi that I never knew about.

[lime tundra]

what makes emd(and arc) so strong is that it doesn't cost turret ammo to use them unlike turret whip, only costs stubby ammo which is already super efficient for this purpose

can shoot an empty turret and it'll still do a full damage discharge

probably why they're ocs rather than base kit like whip

like turret whip you can also shoot other engie turrets, but since it doesn't cost ammo it's even better since you don't "steal" their turret ammo
