>playing sabotage at all
Based, frick doubledippers.
double dipping is such a non issue just gather more nitra morons its fricking everywhere
If you thought it wasn’t an issue you’d order another supply pod.
Being a sneaky b***h about it shows you do care, regardless of your posturing
Its a common issue at haz 5. Seriously git gud
Well the thing about that is if you spend most of the game shooting bugs you eventually run out of ammo.
Kicking people who double dip is a non-issue too? No skin off my back lol bye bye
This
sometimes i'm playing as a gunner or as a scout and the ammo ends very quick, and to progress without needing to call another resupply for some time, i will get two ammo racks if the team doesn't pick the others up for some time and abandons it.
Also don't kick other people just because you have autism, it's not their fault you're a moron.

Why didn't you just kick them?
the game was going fine till that end
i turned duplicate dwarves off for a reason, the 2nd of any class is always a fricking moron
frick you I'm not playing driller cuz he's fricking useless besides digging a hole to the escape pod
He can prep areas you expect fights in by removing shit that blocks sight lines, and connect rooms to make getting around in maze like caves easier. Uplinks, pipelines, and dreadnaughts without a driller are all massive pains.
I simply don't play with morons turning it off.
Based, also add a "Times resupplied" on the end screen
Call another pod, homosexual. I don't get what's the problem if nitra is plentiful.
while OP is being a classic demostration of a salty moron
Taking more ammo is a pretty dick move
>I don't get what's the problem if nitra is plentiful
What if the nitra isn't plentiful ya frickin idiot
If you don't have 400+ nitra by the time you are at the caretaker I dunno what the frick you are doing.
Frick you learn to manage your own resources you Hazlet greenbeard b***h.
Greenbeards using pods as health stations is about the most annoying thing they can do.

I purposely built moronic pipelines because they're fun
>be scout
>wait for the digger to do his job
>he just fricks around instead
>do his job on top of mine
I fricking hate when the digger doesn't make constant shortcuts. It's better to have the tunnels pre made before we call in the drop pod
>that driller who refuses to drill straight lines and instead makes a wild ride around the map
>that driller who refuses to drill between objectives
Many such cases
is that even a thing people expect? i find following the map is generally sufficient but i also only play haz 3 - do people at higher difficulty levels expect you to make shortcuts strictly between objectivess all the time?
On haz 5 I expect a driller to check their scanner and make shortcuts when it's faster or safer.
Only time I make curves or take weird routes is if I absolutely have to, like when there’s a huge gap between the refinery and the pump or the pipe start is on the complete other side of the refinery from the pump.
Making a big rollercoaster and defending it is the most fun thing in the entire game.
when the game gives you far apart wells in a large set of caves it's peak DRG
I think i might have had a map exactly like this before.
For some reason I don't find the refinery maps nearly as repetetive as some others.
refinery is peak terraforming the environment around you for everyone's benefit with some sprinkle of exploration and mining
chances are we weathered the depths of hoxxes together , I faintly remember having a good time and smallchat during this mission
>I want to get off Mr Driller's wild ride
You will experience my loop the loop that was a sincere attempt at going straight and you'll like it.
Thoughts?
>no Haz 6
NGMI
Haz 4 seems like the intended way to play once you know what you're doing. Haz 5 just didn't seem very fun to me, everyone is much more hostile and the game revolves around ammo management rather than being a ragtag group of dwarves having a good old time in some tunnels, who need to stick together. I did an elite deep dive and I was made to autistically carve out and put platforms in certain places to do strategies and it sucked. I do wish haz 4 was somehow a smidgen tougher though.
You just played with shitters, Haz 5 and EDD really aren't that hard when you're actually competent.
kicked
Agree. Haz 5 is usually a cakewalk with 4 experienced players with solid loadouts. They need a Haz 6 that is restricted to higher promoted players
It's a markedly different game than haz 4, it becomes more about resource management, or at least it seemed that way to me. I didn't find it nearly as fun, but haz 4 isn't quite hard enough. I just want to schút bug
>it becomes more about resource management
Only if both your build and you skills suck. I pretty much always finish random haz5 with 2-4 extra supplies worth of nitra and I don't build for ammo efficiency.
Of course that also depends on your teammates but with skilled players nitra is just not an issue.
I play as an engineer with the shotgun, grenade launcher and double turrets, with I think the larger ammo reserve skills for them. I'm referring mostly to deep dives here I guess. I did notice the more experienced player didn't have nearly as many ammo issues but he was a scout so I guess he just didn't shoot as much.
take breach cutter
Deep dives are even less of an issue for nitra though since you keep the previous mission's nitra.
If you run out of ammo you're going too slow and fighting too many hordes.
Holy shit some of you absolutely have zero business leaving Haz 3. There is no need for resource management in Haz 5 if you're not an actual brainlet. Learn to fricking aim. Alternate your frickin weapons instead of dumping AOE on a single bug or plinking away at trash mobs with your single shot. Keep the frick up and stop being so slow staring at the fricking walls or following other dwarves around while clearing caverns not contributing shit to the objective. I don't even think about resource management in Haz 5 unless some homosexual double dipping leaflover screwed over the resupply tempo. I genuinely don't know how most of you people manage to even breathe.
>"you don't have to ammo manage on haz 5"
>proceeds to tell how to manage ammo
>I don't even think about resource management in Haz 5
Ah, so you're one of those fricks who never mines nitra or anything else and runs off on their own to kill 2-3 straggler grunts on the other side of the cave when there's downtime in between swarms
The frick are you even referencing you shitter. What does telling people to get competent at FPS basics have to do with mining? Whatever is living rent free in your head you need to kick it out.
You're just another sweaty tryhard that's nowhere near as good as they think they are. The fact that you're actively telling people to stay off Haz5 / on Haz3, to "keep the frick up and stop being so slow", while bragging there's no need for resource management gives away your inability to carry 3 greenbeards through the worst Haz5 RNG
>REEEE if you were as good as you say you are you have to carry me REEEEE
If you had any reading comprehension you'd know that you look fricking moronic. Haz 5 is so piss easy you don't even need to tryhard, I'm mocking the shitters (You) that can't even sweat their way through it and you're tisming out about people not mining nitra and how greenbeards have a right to be carried and other moron shit that has nothing to do with what the frick anyone is talking about.
The devs are simultaneously some of the best game devs out there and some of the biggest no fun gays imaginable. There was zero reason to nerf Cryo but they couldn't figure out how to make their electric dildo competitive on its own merits. IFG is still the best even with the BOM nerf
>implying I need/want/demand to be carried
lol and you say I have bad reading comprehension ESL-kun
I'm saying you're a delusional shitter if you're unironically trying to gatekeep Haz5 telling people to stay on lower difficulties. Instead of, you know, welcoming the challenge of carrying a mouthbreather or two. Since as you say, Haz 5 is piss easy with a competent team.
I can't remember the last time I didn't have enough nitra for a haz5 dive, you have to get a REALLY shitty cave generation....or players
Haz 6 isn't that difficult either. Haz 6x2 is where the meta changes and moving quickly becomes much more important because there's so little downtime between waves and anyone off on their own gets swarmed immediately.
>everyone is much more hostile
t. Doesn't play Haz 5. 4 inarguably has the highest amount of shitters. 5 is full of greenbeards looking for a carry or silent greybeards who don't give a shit what you're doing but won't rush over to pick you up and carry your ass everytime you do something stupid.
Where is Haz7x2?
Where is Haz0 (Chinese)?
>haz 4
Want to fight more than 1 bug at a time but too much of a pussy for haz 5
>haz 5

why would 'eck players be haz 1? i do haz 4 on 'eck.
>haz 3
>normal human being
A normal human being gets bored when the engineer can just delete every wave using one shot of his secondary before they reach you
My roommate is a shitter who's bad a games and even he plays haz 4 even when I'm not here to carry him
Haz 1-2 is for children below the age of 8
Haz 3 is for new players fisrt 5 missions
Haz 4 is for normal human beings
Haz 5 is for human beings gifted with being good at video games, or engineers with literally any decent overclock because the class plays itself no matter the difficulty
haz3 is sleep inducing
Has 4 was spot on for me for the longest time, then I accidentally joined a has 5 game and realized I've gotten good enough to play it just fine, specially with the exploding flamethrower driller.

>3 new miners join the game
Oh wait nevermind lmao
>reddit game with poorly implemented systems that enable shitters to ruin any game they wish on a whim
double dipping should be allowed but the game should call out whoever did it in case it wasn't agreed upon by the group. Extract button should require 2 people, unless it's a solo mission. There, look at that, i just solved most of the issues that greenbeards cause. But GSG will never do that because they are obsessed with coddling shitters and obeying reddit's suggestions.
>systems that enable shitters to ruin any game they wish on a whim
This is the essence of a quintessential Ganker dot org game.
Double dipping announcement might be a good change (even if it becomes a mess when several supply pods have been ordered), but the second suggestion is outright idiotic when you consider what kind of situations you might be when ending the mission.
several supply pods wouldn't matter. Double dipping announcement could be tracked via each individual pod. If you order 4 pods and take 1 from each pod, no announcement. But yeah, multiple pods could get confusing. Still though, the announcement would be superior to 0 tracking at all, like we currently have. Greenbeards rushing the button are, imo, the biggest issue with playing with randoms, bar none. The current situation is not ideal, there absolutely is a way to handle it but saying the way it currently works is without issues is moronic. Maybe have an emergency override if all other players are dead, that way the only remaining person can still call it. Bottom line, leaving that button available for the 8 year old redditor who just downloaded the game isn't the best course of action and actively discourages opening rooms up to randoms below a certain rank.
im the scout
i mined the nitra
i'll double dip if i want
>*kicks you*
>Thanks for mining the nitra for us sweetie
This, scouts get dibs and double dipping, it's a fact.
Uppity scouts get c4
Back to work slave
I don't care if you leave I do your job better than you..... lamp
If you so much as look in the general direction of another resupply you would already be victim to my C4 after wich i will drill your body straight down to the very core of hoxxes itself
Related note, I genuinely enjoy having the opportunity to mine straight down to rez someone. Blasting through the ceiling and wasting whatever glyphid mob is around a dwarf to rescue him makes me feel so fricking cool
>not just blasting the body with C4 for good luck and leaving the rezzing for lesser dwarves

You can disable Bosco, so in a sense he can be kicked.

we have like 400 nitra, im allowed to double dip.
Yea this. Also if I have 1/4 bars and everyone else has 3/4. Like stop sticking to your braindead rules and get better at reading the situation and go with it.
Can't imagine having this much autism
Just play solo at this point, bosco can't double dip
You have autism if you double dip though. It's literally a symptom of autism, not knowing how to share and not knowing how to wait your turn. Your bad social skills are exemplified in a social game.

Just got Fat Boy. What's the point in using this over a clean OC that gives ammo? The only use I have seen for it is nuking the Caretaker. Everywhere else it's just a team killer.
it's good on escort, and salvage operation if you aren't moronic with aiming it
Take max ammo
Delete big swarms on higher haz
But RJ250 is overall the best OC, it has utility, most ammo and the fire mod single shots grunts even on haz5
Fat Boy is really good when you understand spawn logic and bug pathing so you know where to shoot for maximum effectiveness. Admittedly it's really not that great in big open spaces
You can also just pair it with a lure.
In a pinch you can mine ceiling minerals with it if you have no good classes for that in the lobby.
>In a pinch you can mine ceiling minerals with it
Also good for digging out moronic scouts/drillers that died somewhere high up.
eggs and aquarqs too
>finish refuelling doretta

Should I promote to legendary rank? It looks ugly and I feel like people are intimidated when they see a red border but I have nothing else to progress towards.
>intimidated by borders
Do further promotions cost more resources? I have <100 magnite and all my classes are close to the bronze 2 promotion.
Yes, it gets to upwards of 100 of each mineral and like 150k gold.
It's true.
How the frick am i meant to get 150k so nonchalantly...
Once you run out of things to buy and unlock it just starts to accumulate.
Why do I have so much more umanite and croppa or is this how it is for everyone?
Croppa is worthless but I can't get magnite at all. It seems every overclock and high-level module requires it.
Goddamn, why are there so many morons double dipping lately? It's always either wasting ammo when supplying because you still have over 50% of secondary/grenades/unique ammo or it's fricking gone when you do run dry. Do people not understand that depriving the guy that carries you of ammo is going to fail the mission? Or that I can't shoot if some fricker ate my ammo? I can't just pickaxe everything. At least let me know that I'm gonna have to call another supply.
I can carry, just fricking stand back and don't make it any worse than it already is.
Idiots bandwagoning into the game because of a sale and getting popular with youtuber/vtubers

is scout a good beginner class? i don't want to be a burden i just like to dig and shoot bugs
bait
Just shoot flares and go for hard to reach resources.
Scout is fine, your teammates are being c**ts for not using text or voice or the laser pointer. Scout can be good for combat but the most vital functions you serve are to reach minerals and other collectibles like booloo caps, aquarks, etc that your team either can't reach or won't reach as quickly because they all move slower than you. Secondarily but still importantly your flares are needed to illuminate large caves, which make it easier for your team to see minerals, bugs, objectives, etc. Learn the timing of your zipline, get the fast recharge ASAP, don't forget that if you're falling you can actually fire the zipline into the ground bellow you to negate the potential damage.
You're a stupid sc**t and you're supposed to be bullied.
Some people believe the memes and expect you to light up literally everything at all times like they don't cost ammo.
I really feel this during point extraction and osr
There's probably some ore vein or an object like ebonut high above. Light up the cave and look around above.
scout is by far the HARDEST class for brand new players. it becomes much easier after you've purchased upgrades and unlocked specific weapon mods.
people treat scouts like shit, theyll flame you for not having the entire cave lit permanently even tho you cant afford the flares for it in most large caves, and someone always gets pissy that you didnt instantly grab the thing the 1 fossil they pinged even though youre in the middle of mining and depositing 200 nitra from the roof on the other side of the map.
>even tho you cant afford the flares for it in most large caves
you absolutely can. you have no excuse for the cave not being permanently lit.
NTA but I hope you give the scout a whole resupply pod to himself on the side every time you call one because that's the only scenario in which you're not a moron here
You can have up to 18 flares and you rarely need more than 3 to light up the entire cave. You have 4 minutes to find 80 nitra. That is more than enough time. If you're running out of nitra it's because you're not doing your fricking job and looking for nitra.
So you expect the scout to call a resupply pod every 3 minutes, wasting the rest of his ammo in the process btw, just so you don't have to press F? Guess what, you're the moron here
Stop playing on haz 3 and maybe you'll have more than 2 bugs to shoot at between resups.
I exclusively play on haz 5 (haz 4 if my friend wants to coop because he cries tears of blood otherwise) but nice try, you're still the moron in the room and apparently you're shit at managing your ammo too
>I exclusively play on haz 5
There is a 95% chance to get a swarm under 4 minutes on top of the regular mini spawns throughout the entire mission on haz 5. So how do you have nothing to shoot at? You're just a typical moronic sc**t who is too lazy to press 3.
I never said I have nothing to shoot at, you're stuck thinking of your own strawman, basically hearing voices
At least I'm sure I'll never get your schizo ass in my games since I play on haz 5 🙂
>I never said I have nothing to shoot at
Clearly you don't since you still have full ammo 4 minutes later
Also never said that, you've been talking to the voices in your head for 2 posts now
This a schizo samegay arguing with himself? Shit doesn't make sense.
It doesn't make sense because the guy who seethes about scouts every thread is a schizo who argues with the voices in his head while disregarding what you say, so he'll keep claiming you said something and respond to that instead of responding to what you said, causing disjointed conversations until he gives up and starts spamming images/insults if you keep giving him (You)s while the voices in his head mocks him
.t never plays Hollow Bough
Didn't read.
C4 has a 5 meter range. You cant kill what you cant catch.
I play engineer and have to kill over half of the swarm. Me double dipping is more worth it than anyone else grabbing ammo.
You're just shit at ammo management
I'm just better at killing bugs
M1000 is for babies, always out of ammo, don't even have shotty ammo because baby zoom zoom needs his shotgun jumps despite already having a grapple hook. i'd say half of double dippers are m1000 users, they lose half their health from fall damage every single mineral vein despite having hover boots. fricking hell i hate m1000 scouts. also, cryo is worse than boomrang
>m1000 users
Couldn't be me
YOU JUST KNOW that greenbeard scoutes goes into a public lobby first time ever, sweat dripping down his face
>"w-what's a good loadout for a full team..."
greenbeard goes to google, finds the top updooted post, a frag vid with m1000 + shotgun jumps + cyro.
>I-I'LL BE MVP, I'LL BE THE COOLEST MVP SCOUT EVER AND EVERYONE WILL LOVE ME!!!
he's first to die, usually fall damage, i release my finger from the kick button. and it was over.
That's me when I played scout the first time
I switched to the gk2 since then and I still die from fall damage all the time
>shotgun jumps
genuinely the biggest fricking meme
just don't be bad with the GH scout is so easy
You can't be bad with the hooks because they take no skill to use unlike the shotgun jumps.
>You can't be bad with the hooks
I have seen some shit
>m1000 + shotgun jumps + cyro
But that's literally the best loadout
Boomerang is
Boomerang+damage OC Zuks turns Scout into a turret.
>long press Molly keybind while FALLING to activate hover boots
>if you mistakenly press the button twice in the panic it's instantly deactivated
Who designed this shit? Just remove them from the game or nerf the cooldown or something if it was too OP
Why is its cooldown three as long as dash?
I blame consoles and having to map every function onto a controller
Just put it on the jump key since it's unusable mid-air, it's intuitive. Apparently it used to be like that and they changed it for some reason
Either way, it hover should be tied to the jump button, just like fricking EVERY OTHER GAME ON THE PLANET. Putting it on a different key/button is just unintuitive and has nothing to do with console controls. Would you bind a double jump to a different key/button? Frick no. So why do it with hover?
There's a verified mod that allows you to rebind it iirc
Verified mods don't affect your save
Why couldn't it be hold the jump button instead that makes much more sense
Why hold? Simple press is enough, it's an emergency button
I WILL use m1000 hipfire.
I WILL fall and you WILL pick me up as I have the nitra.
I WILL die on top of a ledge and will need you to dig or c4 me down.
>you WILL pick me up as I have the nitra.
>kick
>pick your bag
now I have the nitra
So that's what these bags are
>running out of ammo
>with m1k
Just aim and shoot lol
Don't miss
It's that easy
Agreed. M1000 players are shitters who don't understand that bringing a DMR to kill one fricking Warden in the background while you're getting swarmed 24/7 by multiple bugs all at once is fricking stupid
M1000 can shoot hordes just fine.
I consider special powder mandatory because it's the only fall damage mitigation that's as spammable as the grappling hook. If I have multiple high-up things to grab quickly I can do them in succession instead of waiting for hover boot cooldown. The grappling hook doesn't always cool down in time for you to use it for preventing fall damage.
Hoverclock is even more spammable because it doesn't consume ammo if you don't want to.
Hoverclock does this even better than Special Powder.
To be fair, there are some things SP do that HC doesn't, but it's rare you need or even can use that much vertical acceleration.
>grappling hook doesn't always cool down in time for you to use it for preventing fall damage
For me it never cools down and I have that fast recharge module. Wtf, maps don't even have such heights for it to cool down
Is there a mod or something that would letone kick anytime
Sit down.
Be humble.
Is the game supposed to look this slow and boring?
Sc**t slowed it down in a vain attempt to make himself look cooler while he misses the weakspots
this is me on scout but missing every shot and grapple hook
I can't use that fricking rifle to save my life, I do fine with all his other weapons

>DO NOT sexualize the company equipment.
Make me
this is what no elven pussy does to a motherfricker
that's on you for not preparing a way back
I had a dozer mission bug out once and the O2 tanks on Doretta weren't providing oxygen at all. Not while moving, not while stopped, not with my face crammed against the fricking nozzle. Shit was miserable.
That was a feature. Management believes in you, only green beards need ""oxygen""
Detection is kinda buggy with O2. You have to leave ALL oxygen zones and then re-enter.
It's a toggle, so it can untoggle oxygen supplying if you leave zone of one O2 tank even if you were in range of multiple tanks. That's probably optimization thing so it wouldn't constantly do code checks.
might have been initial the cause but it stayed that way throughout the entire mission. I was regularly in and out of range of all O2 sources throughout the mission and Molly and supply pods rarely overlapped with each other or Doretta. I've had O2 dozer missions before and never had issues getting O2 from it before. I finished it and may never see it happen again, but it was not fun.
>make it to the pod with several minutes to spare
>last guy stands inside but not far enough to launch
>just standing around until a few seconds before launch
is this le epic trole or a veteran thing i'm too noob to understand?
Tk him
he was at full health and i had no ammo at all left so i didn't have much choice i thought
I just start shooting whoever does this, usually gets them to step in real fast because they think they're getting hit by a bug from outside/start panicking (obviously look at their hp first, they can't step in if you down them)
You don't need them to step in if you down them.
Everyone gets less rewards if I do that so I make them panic first, sometimes someone is just tunnel visioning on finishing the kill on that one praetorian outside before ending and that's fine so I wait like 5-10 seconds before I try to make them panic and step in
If they still don't step in it's obviously on purpose, in that case I start shooting again and the only way I stop is if the mission ends
They're just buttholes. You can't really force anyone to walk into the escape zone, and they gain 99% damage reduction in that little area inbetween.
Best you can do is just shoot him directly to at least annoy him, I just alt tab and watch israelitetube.
>arbitrary leaving dwarfs behind if you are slow to the exit
this ruined the game for me. would have been both more fun and made more sense if you just had a timer that gave you a bonus if you completed your mission before it.
it's dumb that you can take unlimited amount of hours to casually mine but as soon as you hit le button it's go time.
>can walk to guessed exit with unlimited time and THEN hit button
another thing, why the hell does the drill not stick around until it's time to leave, the 2x fuel cost must be a lot worse than just leaving it there for 30 minutes.
also funny how the drill just reverses, there's no line that pulls it up, no rocket engines, no wheels on the walls of the drill. just magic.
the game would be more fun btw if you just skilled into things and had complete freedom to build the character you want instead of how it is right now
what a waste of quads
you HAVE to agree with me due to the digits.
The antigravity capacitors run out after a while, elf. Do you want the salvage mission debacle on every mission? Who's paying for that?
no idea what you're talking about, is that how the devs explained why the ship leaves in some forum post or something?
No, it's an explanation I came up in 5 seconds. The pod leaves because it's a game, drg is extremely mercantile and it's cool. But it's trivially easy to find "in universe" explanations if it does bother your autism.
you making up imaginary reasons in order to try and stop me from complaining about it not making any sense and primarily that it creates worse gameplay is way more autistic.
It creates the gameplay in the first place. The in-universe reason isn't given nor does it really matter. That doesn't mean it doesn't or will not exist, because such details are left purposefully vague and can be filled out if they ever become relevant.
DRG is a mining corporation and as such, it behaves like a corporation. It doesn't want to take risks and cuts costs at every opportunity. The reason the drop pod leaves after a certain amount of time is because they want the resources more than they want the employee. Molly is on board and they want what's packed into her. It's not worth the risk to leave those resources sitting there for that long while the glyphid's attention is drawn to it. They're only willing to wait so long because of the risk of not getting those resources and their equipment back.
Yes. Pretty much all hard time limits in real corporate settings are made up or based on other made up time limits. You must finish this task by noon because boss wants to review it before his plane leaves at 3PM. Plane leaves at 3PM because that was decided weeks ago by the airline. And so on.
For Karl!

>haz3
lmao
unless you haven't promoted a single dwarf yet, there is no reason to play that hazard
Unpormoted greenbeards on Haz5 are always fun
Good thing C4 have some mysterious scout attractant because they always zip at them within seconds.
It's the difficulty the game is balanced around and I'd rather not waste an hour of my life only to have a mission fail.
Just play vanilla minecraft? Same thing as haz 3 but you can build stuff too
Game is balanced around Haz4
Haz3 has zero difficulty and is boring. Are you one of these "every game needs an easymode" gays?
I forgot to reply to
based as frick, you can double dip but ask first Black person so I know I don't have extra ammo and can plan ahead.
If scouts did their jobs there would always be enough nitra for an extra pod or three.
If you didn't kick good scouts all the time because they don't use their entire flare gun worth of ammo in your specific corner to light up your one ebonut you pinged while they were gathering on the other side of the cave you'd get scouts that do their job
Is the drop chance for plague hearts for each meteorite individually?
Every time I get the small meteorites I find 1 heart at most, often nothing. It's annoying as hell.
I think it only gives one heart for each set of small metors.
I had two sometimes
Yeah, one is guaranteed, sometimes it's two. Largest number of hearts I've ever gotten during a single mission was 9 (two large meteors and a shower).
There's one guaranteed per fragment shower, with a 2% chance of another in each extra meteor
So I'm probably missing the one meteor containing a heart. I just wish I found more of the big ones instead of the small fragments.
>Learned the game on scout
>Branching out into other classes
>Keep over extending and dying without a grappling hook.
How do I unlearn scout habits?
Switch between classes regularly. Each of them has a crutch option that easily becomes a bad habit.
How do I into Haz 4 solo as Driller. I get instantly overwhelmed.
What primary?
Cryo. I'm too picky though, its just what ive used most.
wave cooker secondary
Cryovampire is pretty forgiving build on haz4 and lower. Remember the titanium drills.
> Cryotard can't even handle Haz 4 solo
This is the average person in these threads telling you to stop using the flamethrower.
Just use your tools, driller is extremely versatile. C4 terrain and bugs, same for epc. Shoot the bugs and the ground with your primary.
>same for epc
okay redpill me on the EPC ps. I tried it but it seems kind of shitty because it runs out of ammo too fast and the charged shot gets cancelled by the smallest pixel of gemoetry.
Most people use the tfc for mining and bursts of damage. Splash mod is bad. Firemod is interesting in some combos, but imo it hits terrain too easily as you stated. Learning the timing for tfc is one of the hardest singular skills you can learn in the game, so don't judge yourself too harshly if you waste lots of ammo at first. It's often easier to aim at the side of your intended target than directly at it, as the timing window is larger.
what's the best setting for your armor?
I just usually pick the rightmost option for each tier without thinkin it further.
It's ok

how to salvo module hurricane!?!?!?
also what do I pair it with, I'm tired of using leadstorm hotbullets with volatile hotdog
>how to salvo module hurricane!?!?!?
You equip something else
why
Because fragmentation missiles (with volatile bullets bulldog) and jet fuel homebrew (elim missions exclusively) are the only OCs that don't feel like total shit to use.
>how to salvo module hurricane!?!?!?
Fun to do burst damage at close range, but the spread is too much at larger distances and the repetitive clicking gets tiring. The damage bonus isn't that great, either.
just tried it, you're right, can't hit shit from 10mt away.
you can tap fire to get "normal" shots, they'll start to home in like usual after a short delay
It's a Warthog for a Gunner and you will be playing it as if it is one. Build it for weakspot damage, get behind oppressors and such and start blasting.
Definitely want a long range side arm, a burst gun maybe, to deal with stuff like menaces.
Why do people pretend to like this game?

I've played through pretty much all the games that appeal to me in the 2000s - 2020s, the rest seems to be trash. I'm eyeing Deep Rock Galactic, give it to me straight bros is it any good or is it a ""modern"" game in all the worst ways?
It is effectively L4D + Minecraft. If you like either of those games you will enjoy this.
Sounds promising if you're not lying. I'll pirate it for now but if I end up liking it I'll buy since it's only 30.
Ok but just keep in mind that solo vs multiplayer isn't the same dynamic
I've played Left for Dead style games, I know. Just wanna see if the core gameplay appeals to me.
>only 30
On sale for $10 last week. Probably will be again soon.
Does the pirated version do multiplayer correctly? Solo is not even close to being as fun as multiplayer.
the anniversary is next month and it usually has a free weekend/sale for that
If it's genuinely good I don't mind paying full price directly from the developers. That's why you pirate it first and buy if it's enjoyable, if everyone did this gaming would be in a much better state.
It's legitimately the best PvE game on the market with zero modern nonsense except a few weapon unlocks you can afford within 2 hours of game play. The game is as hard or easy as your own skill makes it. If you're good at stuff like boomer shooters you can beat Hazard 5 (highest difficulty) with guns that have no upgrades. If you suck, there's lots of low skill losers in the lower hazards that will welcome you without seething about failed missions.
Just buy it.

Newbies don't realize the game isn't about progression yet. They're too used to content treadmills from other games and can't stop to smell the mushrooms.
I swear to god people materialize into my c4 radius, I check and double check before blasting and I swear the blast just spawns in a downed dwarf at its edges
ALL THE OTHER DWARFS WITH THE PUMPED UP KICKS
whats the best scout throwing weapon in your opinion? i like the cryo grenade but tend to pick IFG because i dont want to frick up/work against anyone using flame weapons
I like the boomerang as the generalist option. Not the best option in many situations, but there are few where it doesn't work at all unlike pretty much every other scout throwable.
i just realized i never tried it yet - forgot they added that since i stopped playing since i never see anyone use it. will give it a try tomorrow
The boomerang is great.
IFG's are my favorite. Boomerang doesn't scale as well at higher difficulties.
how do i use the sticky fuel oc? feels gay making little lines of fire for bugs to walk through
Well thats pretty much what its for. If you dont like it use another weapon or OC.
how do i do this while still having fun
Spalsh pool of fire everywhere
Start to vampire drill bugs
Once I unlocked the pump, I never got back to other weapons
I would still use cryo if they didn't nerf it so hard
Pretty much forced to use boomerang (and IFG in eliminations)
Friendship with cryo ended
Now Nishanka is my best friend
The boltshark is so fricking good. It gives the scout so much more crowd control and utility wich suits the class. After i got this baby i never used the other secondaries again. Absolutely solid weapon.
how do i use it to crowd control effectively? only overclock i have so far is triple bolt, which is really good for one shotting certain enemies
phero and couple of firebolts is the most cost effective combo. You can also use ice instead and finish the bugs with your primary.
Shoot a pheromone bolt at a large bug during a swarm. Then you mop up the cluster of bugs with your primary weapon/fire bolts.
It takes an eternity to trigger. If your teammates are paying attention they will kill the bugs long before fire does any meaningful damage. There is a case to be made for cryo bolts but cryo always has the problem of fricking over your team using fire builds.
Legit can't decide which OC to use with it
Cryo is amazing against breeders and those big spitters, and decent against swarmers, but pretty useless otherwise unless you're somehow alone against a praetorian (otherwise your team will kill it before it gets frozen)
Fire is impossible to use in multiplayer
Bodkin is ok I guess but all 3 primaries are better against swarms unless you somehow back yourself into a corner as scout
Trifork volley is never actually needed, inferior to embedded detonators, and chews through ammo faster
I keep switching between cryo and bodkin, never really being satisfied
I also keep hesitating between electric bolts and pheromones because they're both so good
I run pheromones and cryo and i can handle pretty much everything. If your team uses alot of fire use your cryo bolts on shit like spitballers and wardens that are out of their reach. Those freeze up fast as frick and you can easily dispatch them with little ammo usage on your primary.
Was using cryo and electric bolts then swapped to bodkin and pheromones, I'll try cryo and pheromones
Forgot about wardens, it's really nice against them indeed
I don't like IFG because it doesn't help me revive people, cryo and boomerang are both amazing at that and they're also amazing at dealing with mactera (cryo less now sadly) and swarmers
IFG is only really good in solo where you fully control where glyphids are going to path and use fire bolts/blowthrough rounds/bullets of mercy imo, and it's completely useless against the biggest threat in the game: tri-jaws
tazer bolts and trifork go super well together for eliminations
2 bolts basically immobilise the dread, they also enable the tier5 bonus agaisnt electrified enemies
add trifork and you're dealing huge damage
add an IFG for even bigger damage
bring GK2 with BoM to swap after your trifork shot and do some more big damage
Even in an haz5 4player lobby you can almost solo a dread cycle by yourself with this setup
Last night I was doing sabotage and the fricking Black folk wouldn't R. We had tons of nitra and had been dicking around through more unneeded waves and wasting ammo/pods in low oxygen so I freaked the frick out and alt-f4'd as host
Nvm it was elimination
>as host

>soloing as gunner
>molly walk through 100 m of walls to reach the drop pod in an unexplored area
>at least 500 m of intestines to reach it without digging
I dug, thankfully it was sand
This is why I always play driller when solo
I usually do but I wanted to try my new Hurricane overclock (salvo module)
I'm pretty disappointed by it, as usual with the hurricane
The only good overclock I've found for the hurricane was the one that plants mines, pretty nutty for both killing bugs and your fellow dwarfs.
Salvo module burns through ammo too fast. If one salvo counted as one ammo like with a shotgun it would be good.
I like the clean overclock that increases RoF and projectile speed
Turns out the hurricane is good and versatile if you just don't change what it's already doing and merely make it better
Being burning hell's cousin is the only thing about hurricane that raises my dopamine.
I always dig to the drop pod when i'm on drill duty.

why can't I mine gold for the team?
Shitters have convinced themselves that by not mining gold they could theoretically run missions, which would be more efficient in the long run. This of course ignores the fact that all missions have downtime, so if you have nothing better to do while waiting something, you can usually mine some gold at least. + it's a mining game about dwarves, of course you should mine gold.
Don't hold up the team to mine gold. If you're scout or running dash, you should absolutely get gold while you wait for your team to catch up or while your team goes ahead.
I'm a dwarf, I mine what and when I feel like.
>NOOO! DON'T MINE THE GOLD, ONLY THE MORKITE MATTERS!!!
>STOP IT! YOUR CUTTING INTO THE SHAREHOLDER'S PROFITS!!!
Karl would be proud.

if i have to double-dip, it's because i'm doing more than my share of the killing so i deserve more than my share of the resupply. it's really that simple.

Don't do that, that's troony behaviour
give me good AUTOCANNON builds that aren't neurotoxin.
no
One of these days I really have to try out Big Bertha some more. Been stuck with the minigun too much lately.
I want an autocannon overclock that removes the explosion but makes it more accurate and deal more damage.
That kind of just sounds like the minigun
Auto cannon is cooler and I like how it shoots slower. I want a gun that hits hard instead of fast.
Yeah, and bertha already has the "Autocannon but single target" niche covered. There are already too many OCs that do the same thing with maybe one of the being slightly different. Chaingun has three straight damage OCs, one is a bit different, PGL has three ammo OCs, one is a bit different.
PGL has some of the best build variety in the game dude, hyperpropellant vs nuke vs incendiary rj250 vs default all feel good and different
Doesn't change the fact that half of the OCs are "dood, more ammo!"
