What's a good secondary to pair with the sludge gun?
Can't decide between heavy hitter (fire) or gamma contamination
Gamma seems to be better at killing groups but mactera become suffering.
HH (Heil Hitler) can dispatch these in 2 shots, unless its a brindle... And the projectile travel time makes hitting stuff at range kinda hard.
Sets shit on fire surprisingly fast, including goo.

>>2208435
Sir, your Tranq?

>>2208454
how does subata tranq work? I haven't used that gun in like 2000 hours

I want something that can be set & forget.
with HH I just take a charged sludge shit all over the floor, then double tap the green acid diarrhea and turn my back on the bugs, they're already dead, they just don't know it yet.
with GC I still need to tag all bugs and the proc rate is only 25% so sometimes you don't even proc it before they die.

Which is why I never revive players who use Steeve unless it's convenient for me. Using Steeve is one of the best signs that the player is a shitter and isn't worth picking up. You wanna stay alive so badly? Teach your bug to give you chest compressions scrub, or better yet take a useful perk instead of the one where you create a bug that does nothing but get in the way or runs off to 1v1 a grunt a mile away while you're getting a train run on you by slashers.

Patch notes fuckin where
Did they balance any weapon?
Imagine not even fucking fixing the broken over clocks at least like burst fire lmfoa

So, why do we play the new mission? Isn't it just the first phase of Deep Scan?

>>2211801
Not really. The caves play like morkite mining but with a giant rock in each main room.

>>2211806
>The caves play like morkite mining

>>2211833

>>2211793
DRG is abandoned by the main devs for their spinoff, you can forget about meaningful weapon changes and balancing. Time to find a new game.

>>2211840
Why aren't you taking at least 1 AoE to cover your ass?

>>2211841
its so fucking over

>>2211872
there may be a small chance if/when Rogue Core flops that they'll return to DRG, but it seems they are burned out on it in general, plus they never really cared too much for the meta since the whole game is balanced around Haz 3 casual redditor players (which the devs themselves are)

>>2210999
just played some, bros.... due to the long ass hiatus from this game due to no updates, the spark seems to be gone, Ive grown used to HD2s playstyle of being able to lone wolf the game in a party and easily navigate the map.

>>2211905
???? You can do that in DRG tho?

Rock and Stone my fellow Redditors!
After my entire team was wiped to pitjaws I've developed a foolproof strategy. It's called
>3 dwarves ride on Molly
the remaining dwarf scouts ahead and when he gets gripped the other 3 save him
Now I just need you, my fellow redditors, to test if the pitjaw can get your through molly. Heckin new strat

>>2211801
You know I thought the entire mission was finding one giant rock and going through an entire cave for it but it's more like 4 medium sized rocks. Imagine that excavating a boulder the size of a caretaker. Now that would be something. It would also have a sense of climax unlike 4 rocks and then leave. It would also boost atmosphere to have an Indiana Jones theme in the new fossil biome.

No, since season 6 was made by a third party studio the devteam agreed they won't change balance.
Regarding the new season after like 3 hours of gameplay:
+ new framework is clean, I like it
+ new zone looks good
- seasonal event is boring as fuck, it generates the nearly exact same side room each time
- new mission type feels like half a mission, you'd expect some epic chungus ending but it just abruptly ends. its basically HALF of the resonance scan mission
- trapjaws are barely visible, who thought it was good idea to make brown enemies burried in brown ground?
Season feels very underwhelming, I'll probably just speedrun my way till level 100 season pass and drop it to come back for seaon 7 in 2029.

I get not working on one game forever, but couldn't they have at least waited a few years before they did that

Umm actually the game released five years ago.

>>2212365
If I'm right: maybe the mod "Starship troppers" abd "Bug Planet", to add more enemies in a single map.

>>2212365
All of mine were fine >>2211707

the no weapon particles mode broke on the new map

>>2212336
>in its prime
TF2 and GTAV have been utterly catastrophic for the zoomoid mind, not every game needs to live forever, and a truly great game doesn't need infinite updates to be good, the core gameplay should be satisfying enough. If the game dies, it dies. So be it.

Pretty okay season but I think they should update the cave gen for the new biome immediately
It sounds harsh but it does feel halfassed in certain aspects
It would be nice if they can add that midseason. Really cool biome as it's a "normal" irl looking ass cave but the generation is samey compared to others but then again it's new
Those little flying shits are far too many, decrease their spawn a little
New mission is as the anon above mentioned, halfassed
Ground pussies are just ceiling pussies but less visible they should work on that ngl they actually can't grab you if you're bunny hopping all the time, I have passed several and didn't even notice until another mate pointed it out my constant hopping is saving my ass. GSG should let the 3rd party team add new movement to the enemies because ground pussies are still just reverse leech, and the flying shits are just semi reskin'd enemy drones
Gun skins are fucking great though
It feels like the team had a vision but lacked application

>>2213063
The last time they added new enemies, like new-new, the playerbase bitched about being GRABBED

>>2213063
Not only is the new mission half assed, it's basically the drillevator only minus the drillevator. It really needs a part 2 of some kind, potentially a boss. And I don't say that just because I want to shoot a big enemy, it'll help differentiate it from drillevator missions.

>>2213215
>once it catches an idiot
Wow how was I supposed to know they can lunge out of the pit if you stand around close enough for too long?

my only problem with the ripjaws is that the ground they're in doesn't change at all, it's just the tips sticking out, I wish the area they're in had unique shaders to make it a bit more noticeable

Look as nostalgia critic he left it to do other things that all sucked so he came crawling back because he’s only good at one thing.
The drg guys got that too but it hit the whole team instead of one guy … or whatever is left of the team anyway
In a healthy company there are products that work and products that don’t and the ones that suck get axed. In a diseased company the best selling products get sucked and siphoned to prop up the bad products. All that money and ressources stolen for some creatorism mental disorder. Somone ought to give em a good kick to the forehead

>>2213402
For me it doesn’t have the same feel as other weapons. I use it because there’s no better secondaries for gunner unless I want to run fire bulldog. Coilgun doesn’t do enough damage and I’m not into overcharging. Maybe if rogue core fails they’ll port the shield gun over to drg and give it to gunner. That’d be swell

>>2212336
>abandon it in its prime
Somewhere around Season 1 was its prime. They kept it going years after that before getting bored and moving on to a spinoff.

>>2213468
its prime was before the 1.0 launch imo, before the redditfication, and when it was a fairly unknown niche indie game for midwestern dads to play at 4am when their kids were finally asleep

it really kept getting exponentially worse when they started removing crass voicelines and replaced them with chungus ones

>Scrabs
>Reduced minimum spawn count of scrabs: 8 -> 4
boooooo

>PitJaws
>Removed Pit Jaw Colony as a forced season 6 warning and removed it from the season 6 assignments. The warning will be added back when it starts cooperating with management

The reddit aspect of this game was truly terrible, thankfully there are mods to address it.

>Scrab Nesting Grounds
>Swarms of Scarabs have settled in caves all over Hoxxes. Expect a steady influx of Scrab hostiles, and try to steer clear of their nests.
The bad part of this is
>steady influx of Scarabs
A better implementation would be to just spawn a lot more of their nests.
By doing that, you:
>Must use terrain traversal tools to your advantage to avoid necessary risks
>Or go in guns blazing on your own terms
>Either way gives maximum player agency
Having forced Scarabs on your ass just means people are going to speed run builds.
Like, is this their first game design gig? Fucking disappointing.

Nailed it. I'll add that the scrabs are honestly pretty lame. They barely attack, and feel like filler enemies. I mean I started playing today and I already downed 1800 of them, while they did barely any damage to me.
The lack of even a single new OC hurts a lot tho, there are no gameplay changes except that now you gotta watch out for cancer laying underground.
Speaking of which, I noticed there's an entry below the pit jaw in the bestiary, anyone knows what that is?

>>2213538
I already almost always run with Heightened Senses, but with pit jaws that shit is absolutely mandatory. Saved my ass multiple times.
Anyway I'm confident pit jaws will receive some nerf soon enough. The fact that they don't outright kill you differently from leeches tells that they realized it was too much. I think they wouldn't even be THAT bad if they went down easily. The fact that they escape is pure bullshit.

Pretty much except one big difference. That issue is that they dont die to pickaxe hits instantly like robots (they are weak to melee) so you need to waste bullets or powerpick on them. On top of that lack of weakness they have hard (maybe med?) strippable armor.

For me it always waits until after a swarm finishes to load me in, and I've got more than up to date hardware for this 2018 game. I think the game is just poorly optimized (shocker) and queues loading in players until after the swarm event happens because it's easier on the host or smth

quite good and works extremely well with the conductive bullets upgrade in t5

it's honestly a lot better than you'd think, because things you'd expect to be weakpoints actually aren't (like praet asses) unless you have the weakpoint upgrade, which actually just makes your damage similar to the base dmg of gas recycling

pretty decent solo, not very good in multi cuz you can't control your team's loadouts which will either include fire, or they'll kill whatever you're trying to freeze before it can be frozen

it's most useful for freezing spitballers and brood nexuses imo since they only take a few to freeze

just remember to use blowthru bullets

>>2217150
the xbow is only really useful for crowd control with pheromone bolts (and it's really good at that if your teammates are not clinically retarded)

>the one defining feature of the sludge pump is its corrosive effect

so many cool ideas for the sludge pump like a vaporizer/aerosol nozzle that turns the goo into acid gas, a centrifugal spool pump for a continuous stream of goo like a pressure washer from hell, a polymerized sludge mix that solidifies and greatly slows down the bugs while damaging them, etc.

>>2215270
They just need to remove the slow when hitting an enemy so you can mix a pickaxe hit in when getting swarmed while reloading to animation cancel or to finish off something to save ammo.

I have no fucking idea why they implemented the slow. I think they added it in when they nerfed melee overall in the beta? I can't really remember that far back. Either way its gay but still not as gay as parrying.

>>2218540
>I have no fucking idea why they implemented the slow. I think they added it in when they nerfed melee overall in the beta?
people were doing no gun challenge runs and the devs went "are you having FUN in MY game?? we'll see about that in the next update..."

>>2218540
The idea is to discourage (You) from using Melee altogether unless exactly this:
>finish off something to save ammo.
It gets even funnier that if you don't animation cancel the swings, melee-ing with the pickaxe actually gets slower after the first hit kek lmao

>>2218238
Melee is only really worth it to finish off a bug when its the only thing left around or safe to do so.

The devs really don't want you to pickaxe anything without the power attack, the slow is crippling and generally suicide if using it when surrounded.

>>2218181

>omen tower always has plasma casters on the bottom layer (purple lines)
>always(?) has spinning laser beam in the middle (orange beams)
>alternates between drone replicator & ball turret on the top layer (either shits out amazon delivery drones carrying TNT or is a burst-fire machine gun)
>DDR pad opposite the overclock cube you insert the key into is always the pad that's linked to the plasma caster
>plasma caster is the top priority to shoot because if anyone goes down, it makes it impossible to rez them without eating shit
>the drone replicator is the only exception for target priority, as it's the most dangerous weapon the tower has available without argument
For whatever reason, everyone ignores the drones it spawns, and they do enough dmg to 1-shot anyone on the team on higher hazards. They're not even tanky, I think people are just too used to engineer turrets taking them out to realize they even exist.

You can ping each layer of the tower to check what its loadout is before everyone inserts the batteries and activates it. If you see the drone replicator, don't hesitate to warn everyone about it.

Do not rely on the engineer to place platforms above the pads at the correct height, the plasma caster will melt through the platforms and drop you into its range if the engineer doesn't place them high enough, and if he places them too high, you can't activate the DDR pads to reveal the tower's weakpoints.

You only need to stand on the pad to unlock a layer's weakspots, you don't need to stay standing on it. Once they're revealed, they stay revealed for about 5-10 seconds or so, during which point you can dodge or reposition.

You can call molly onto one of the pads or deploy a resupply right next to one to avoid the plasma caster's lines, while still being within viable range of the DDR pad's detection, no engineer platform autism required.

>>2219103
ammo, the damage is overkill on 90% of enemies

>>2218885
piss easy if you have an engie who knows how to do the plat setup or you call resups on the buttons. the ankle slicer is always the button opposite the key. blow that up first and the other two are trivial. you can see what the other 2 are by pinging it with your laser. c4 is also very good on omen if you can get all 3 layers open at the same time.

How good is it?

the only enemy i truly hate is the stingtail. he's covered in armor and if he's on a tall pillar, he just launches you into the skybox. also likes pulling me into hordes and fucking my ass.
i also dislike robots, but at least they don't fuck with your movement (unless you get run over in a tunnel lmao)

>>2219242
I hate the rolling enemies because they will just roll into you multiple times in a second, and freezing them does not do anything.
I hate robots because they are not fun. Industrial sabotage is an immediate haz1 mission.

>>2219227
Don't listen to the other naysayers, temp shock is perfectly viable and even good. Boiler ray is fine too, but it's really only for groups of trash enemies, which your primary already cleans up
>>2219234
Gimmicky, but technically a clean if you don't mind the gun now being semi-auto. The RoF upgrade affects how quickly you charge up the rockets
>>2219242
The design of the stingtail really seems like the devs were annoyed at how everyone kept complaining that armor break was practically useless, so they made an enemy entirely covered in breakable armor with no visible weakpoints

>>2219255
if you're stuck on the lowground or in a tunnel when the rolly pollies spawn then you're in for a world of hurt, otherwise they're not too bad imo.
robots just aren't fun like you said, and when sabotage comes up in my assignments i just try to bandwagon on a mission that's almost done, or i just quit the assignment if it's the first mission and do something else for awhile until i finally decide it's time to deal with the pain.

>>2219257
>complaining armor break was useless
i liked it since it meant if my aim was shit/i couldnt position myself better or if my turrets are being retarded, i was at least knocking off armor instead of wasting ammo completely. the stingtail is just a pure pain in the ass.
the grabber at least makes for some funny moments as he flies you around the map lmao.

>>2219257
>temp shock is perfectly viable and even good.
Temp shock is overkill on grunts and underkill on praetorians. Temp shocking frozen enemies is bad because you do not want to remove the freeze debuff for a meager amount of damage, and while temp shock with the flamethrower is better, any enemy that is still alive is going to need heat to be reapplied each time you do it.
It is not outright bad, but there are better options.

>joining pub with one or more drillers.

Looks like it. I don't think you can get to that level in only 3000 hours, especially while single-dwarfing, and especially after LegIV that requires a huge amount of exp to rank up. I'm at 2700 hours and I'm struggling to get to 1000 (currently at 900).
