I was hooked on this game immediately so I'm guessing if you find it boring at first it's not going to get better
Right answer

Yes
No
No
This.
Played DRG for the first time 4 years ago. Still playing it every week.
Wrong.
It took me 3 tries to get into it but now I'm addicted.
Yes if you find friends to play with.
Ive found playing with randos to be pretty enjoyable in this game. Sometimes you run into retards though but that hasn’t been happening to me all that much.
Ever since I gotmy friend into drg I found playing with randoms tiresome. Especially when host has shit internet and server crashes just as I find machine event
>when the host has shit net
I filter for "close" but even then sometimes it's terrible what the fuck happened to company servers? why is everything direct host connection these days?
>either [DE] 100+ or kick autists
>or [RU] cyka blyat my internet sucks
No thank's I'll rather connect to medium and far.
>what the fuck happened to company servers? why is everything direct host connection these days?
Never thought I'd see this opinion expressed on fucking Ganker, lmao
Where do you live? I very rarely have connection problems
you can connect it's just laggy sometimes depending on if the host has shit net or whatever I think
if you need friends for it to be fun then it`s a bad game, literally anything is fun with friends
don't start with gunner you will burn out from boredom
I dunno I always play gunner and have a good time with him.
All of his guns are cool and I like keeping shit off the team or clutch reviving people with the bubble shield.
t. 500 hours played
>does live service gaas garbage with in game discord advertisements get fun
>Optional cosmetics make it GaaS
Are you retarded?
Can you play the game offline? Do you have to connect to the servers just to go mining? Are you bombarded with advertisements, battle passes, and multiplayer prompts every time you start the game?
Yes I pirated it
>Can you play the game offline?
Yeah but it's a fucking coop game, so why would you?
>Do you have to connect to the servers just to go mining?
I don't think so but I'm online regardless
>Are you bombarded with advertisements
No, but they have a 1 time pop-up when they announce new things they drop.
>battle passes
The thing about the "Battle pass" in this game is it's not. The seasons are 100% progressed by playing the fucking game. You pay nothing, and in fact, you CAN'T pay anything to get more from it. It's not there. It's just a free incentive to play.
>multiplayer prompts every time you start the game?
The game doesn't harass you to play online, but playing with others is a part of the UI when you choose missions. Do what you want but how the classes work together is the real draw here.
yeah, keep making excuses for shitty behavior
the damage is done, most people are as retarded as you are, anyway
>shitty behavior
literally WHAT shitty behavior?
nice bait
>Can you play the game offline?
Yeah, but why would you? It's a co-op game.
>just to go mining?
It's not some open-world sandbox game, moron. DRG is a mission-based co-op shooter. But yeah, if you want, you can Solo missions.
>are you bombarded with ads....?
No.
funner isn't a word
ok dad
DRG is one of those games where you’re either hooked right away and obsessed, or you know it’s not for you. If the game doesn’t grab you in 10 hours or less, don’t expect anything from it.
Personally, I put like 300 hours in less than 4 months. I really enjoyed my time in the game before I unlocked everything. I’ll still go in and do missions every once in a while if my pals want to play.
I put in 20 and stopped for a while
Then came back and put in 200 more
This helps
Buy it for your friends while it's on sale
The game is shit before you get most weapon upgrades, OC really Hispanice it up afterwards.
I know presenting new player with 5 upgrades per weapon might be too much but the first few hours of play are boring as fuck.
To be fair vermintide has the same problem
srs? It was the opposite for me. The game was most fun completing haz 5 missions solo or duo with a shoestring build, and slowly making them easier with upgrades. Now that I've got some good stuff it's agonizingly boring to play.
game is alright but it's certainly not worth all the hype or talk, it's a shitty mining game where the hardest thing is cave traversal because they stuck you in the ceiling for the 1000th time
>just want ONE OC
>literally never get it
>i don't do meme DD's so i get bumfucked for the amount of OC's i want
>morons still have swarmers attacking through floors and other shit
the game is fine but not worth the past 2 years of people spamming it constantly, it's a fucking chore game with a button to spam ROCK AND STONE, but since it's one of the FEW actual co-op games out there that isn't garbage it's popular
>doesnt do the thing that takes max 2 hours per week to do (its also very fun) to get OCs
>complains he cant get OCs
DRG is a fun game, but its engagement lvl is in the gutter as far as coop games go.
Not only because of the generally low difficulty but combat itself is so simple, most people lose interest fairly quickly.
When I first played it I was like "wow this is amazing, why did you tell me to get vermintide instead?", until like 3 weeks later when I got utterly bored of DRG due to its low engagement. There's no skill ceiling or anyhting. Nothing to get better at, nothing to optimize.
I still come back to it from time to time, because as said, its fun. But its not a "main game" or anything. For that, its engagement level is too low.
OP is a cocksucking gay ELF.
you need to play on haz 4 MINIMUM
5 only, kermie
4 is where the dunning-kruger shitters live
I find it quite funny how most haz 5 lobbies have funny names and if haz 4 has custom name its always shit like
>LVL100+ OR KICK
I saw a haz 3 lobby named "silver stars only"
It was a German, wasn’t it?
I don’t know what drives them to it.
for me, it's "rank requirements? opinion discarded"
Gunner’s at his most engaging in haz 5, because that’s where the versatility comes in.
In lower difficulties most things die before you have a chance to really ramp up
Unironically higher difficulties, in haz 3 and below you can tank and kill everything so gunner feels pretty redundant while in haz 4 and 5 your shield bubble and massive sustained DPS becomes unvaluable
I'd argue even in haz 4 its not needed in haz 5 maybe a gunner is needed
nah you can't really tank more than 2 or 3 hits in haz 4, hence why so many people get stuck on it because haz 3 and lower incorrectly taught them it was ok to tank the hits and get their shit pushed in in haz 4
I've literally been through multiple haz 4's with 2 scouts an driller and engi many many times dude get good
my sleep deprived self didn't really paid attention to what you posted
yeah you're right
No.
>gunner.exe
stairlift.jpeg
play haz 5
im 90 hours in and exclusively only play haz 5 now, since lower difficulties are piss easy snooze fests
For me its driller with cryo+wave emitter
It shits the bed vs dreadnoughts but driller can't into dreadnoughts anyway
I'm yet to find the ice spear OC, does it change anything?
it gives your cryo cannon the ability to shoot a ice spear for beeg damage, however 50 ammo per spear makes it very unappealing to use
I meant if it changes anything, like helping vs dreadnoughts or mactera, drillers bane
>helping vs dreadnoughts
yeah if you can freeze them you can spear them and will destroy their HP
>mactera
its overkill and not ammo effective, Snowball is way better at it since it can flash freeze and instakill groups, if its lone macteras then you should use your secondaries for them
>join haz4 lobby
>keep failing missions to brain dead players that keep dying to fall damage, fail basic stuff like using platforms to channel enemies, drillers not making room so we're not left with half the space on salavage operations, drillers not making tunnels for refining etc
>join haz5 lobby
>everything goes smoothly, seethe everytime I go down only to realize at the end screen I didn't do that bad
> drillers not making tunnels for refining
Honestly I do that on Haz 5 too unless it’s a near vertical climb or through miles of rock, because straight tunnels feel soulless.
DRG or gunner? Yes to both questions, gunner gets more useful the more bugs and threats there are to shoot so on lower difficulties he may seem boring but on haz 5 and modded he's incredibly fun because you actually get to use his guns properly. Sam for DRG in general, the harder the haz the funner the game although playing with randoms is just not fun for me and I haven't done it in hundreds of hours so I can't say anything about quickplay
I was in the same spot: Picked gunner while my friends went Scout and Driller. While I could kill stuff well, they could too without any issue.
The fun started when we went into some higher Hazard tiers and they couldn't kill everything on their own. I got to use zip lines for blanket firing, the needle shooting of the minigun to surgically kill bugs around swarmed teammates, use the grenades to make space and the shield for ressing several downed at once.
None of the other friends wanted to play at that difficulty anymore and interest just waned from there.
Do Overclocks have randomized values?
No, they have fixed values but the OC's you unlock are randomized.
Alright so the gunner burst fire pistol OC that I got does actually reduce reload speed by .2s and add 1 damage - fantastic.
No. They are static.
no gunner is boring play the other they're fun
>new assignment
>industrial sabotage
oh god WHY DO I HAVE TO KEEP PLAYING THIS SHIT MISSION
I'm like 8 hours in with solo scout. Any tips Gankerros?
-Stop playing Solo.
-Light up rooms, nonstop.
-Team up with an Engineer to get hard to reach stuff fast.
-ZIPPIDY over enemy packs.
-Cryo grenade = OP as fuck, as it insta-gibs flying enemies (breeders might need 2 hits).
Shit taste grindan-fag detected.
DRG is one of the greatest video games of all time, and it is FUN to PLAY. I'm sorry that your generation has been ruined by this "gotta UNLOOOCC SHIT!!" mentality.
>puts words in my mouth
look, i put 400 hours into it but the only reason it has any staying power is because NO ONE FUCKING MAKES CO-OP SHOOTERS, THERE IS NO OTHER FUCKING CHOICE YOU FUCKING RETARD
SO WHAT IF IT'S GOOD? It's been 400 fucking hours and i have everything i want, the game is the EXACT FUCKING SAME as it was at release, I fucking hate how people keep talking like this is the best game ever when it's fucking OLD ALREADY and only just recently released new map modules
>bro just play the same maps over and over again at the same difficulty(easy as fuck)
>ive played 400 hours
>why have i seen everything in a game after 400 hours
>game is shit
horrible bait poster
Yeah, and i'm done with the game. Don't know why you are repeating me when my post is right there, I have 400 hours and it was fun for those. I played l4d2 longer than DRG, the game is just a snoozefest.
Yeah, I have 400 hours, there is literally 0 reason for me to keep playing, I've already seen everything. This isn't about unlocking shit, I saw everything there was to offer within the first 100 hours. I'm sorry but the game just isn't fun after a while.
not any of them but honestly after 400 hours I'd get bored of any game too
i'm not really upset at DRG for being one of the FEW good co-op games that aren't pixel indie shit topdown garbage roguelikes
>NO ONE FUCKING MAKES CO-OP SHOOTERS
Tons of people do, all the time. I don't know what kind of console-fag you could be to claim otherwise.
DRG just happens to be the best one ,and the most fun and exciting one at that as well.
>I have everything I want
Like I said: grindan-unlockan addict. You clearly don't like PLAYING the game, you just do vidya for their skinnerbox traps.
>OLD GAEM BAD!!
Okay kid.
Ocarina Of Time is still the objective GOTYAY and it is 25 years old.
>only just released new map modules
They do that all the time, kiddo.
In general, CSS could have just dropped the game altogether after it came out of E.A. stage back in 2020. But no, instead they keep releasing not only bug fixes, but brand new content literally every season of the year.
>same maps over and over again
You literally never play the same maps.
I think you might be mixing DRG with L4D or something.
>its engagement lvl is in the gutter as far as coop games go.
On the contrary.
Few games can even claim to provide same level of comradery as DRG.
>combat itself is so simple
Compared to what?
Also, DRG is not exactly a "combat game". It's 3D spelunking first, swarm-shooter survival second.
>3 weeks later bored of DRG
>even mentions VT
Oh sorry, I thought I was talking to a human being, not a GWS shill.
>funny given that DRG is all about unlocking shit
Maybe to you. Never to me.
I already unlocked everything years ago. I bought out even the vanity shop last year for the heck of it. I got 3 million Gold and dozens of Cores, and I still play a dozen hours each week.
I seriously wonder if all the modern-day skinnerbox victim zoomies would just kill themselves if teleported back to the early 00's, when each MP game was all about just playing for fun, and nothing else.
>I'm sorry that your generation has been ruined by this "gotta UNLOOOCC SHIT!!" mentality.
funny given that DRG is all about unlocking shit
3/4s of the playerbase is people only playing to unlock their weeklies
If you want to be sweaty you can practice power attacking walls as you zip to them to make cubby holes to mine from.
Otherwise just keep your eyes on the roof of the cave for threats and minerals, ping both and kill the former. Your weapons are best suited to that.
Hoverclock or special powder can save you from a lot of embarrassment. Sixth sense also does this by giving you grabber/cave leech insurance.
All of your grenades are good. If you aren't constantly out when you resupply you aren't spamming them enough.
Don't run off ahead of the team unless you actually have a good reason.

Deep Rock Galactic and Vermintide 2.
Worthy successors of L4D2.
You literally cannot prove me wrong.
>gregor and his buddy downs you and kicks you from a mere haz5 match despite you doing literally nothing wrong
why dont you whiny gays tell someone what they did wrong so they can learn and not spike your blood pressure next time?
