What is the best combination of drinks you can order in DRG and why is it a Flintlocke's Delight and a Wormhole Special?
>>236457Yeah that's the best combo but dancing one and fire one (can't remember their names) is pretty solid too
>>236457Blackout stout and blackout stoutLast one to blackout buys enough glypid slammers to fuel one egg hunting bender.

Do you guys kill lootbugs?
You have 5 seconds to explain to me why I should use any minigun OC other than Bullet Hell.The autocannon shits all over the minigun in objective firepower so why not take the fun OC if you are going to use the worse gun?
>>236579Of course>>236598Managing heat near the top without fully over heating and lighting shit on fire is fun. Also ignore the grenade on this image I use incendiary now.
>>236572You get perk points for doing it and what else are you gonna use the meme plants for?
>>236572>he doesn't buy the crew that's been with him for the past five games a bunch of beers after the last game he has time for before closing the roomGot ourselves a bloody leaf lover here
>>236841>he plays more than one round with a team in a rowsentimental knife-ear
>>236860Dwarves have a true sense of camaraderie, something a leaf lover like you wouldn't understand.
>>236872i bet you sleep in the same bed with them too
>>236873If you one and one with every room you've been a part in, I feel bad for you.
>>236875*one and donefuck I should fucking sleep
>have one dwarf promoted>constantly place platforms for scout>constantly light up big rooms with scout>make convenient tunnels as driller>people who are high level/high promoted don't do have the teamwork I dowhy are some people so lazy/bad
>>236616>Of coursebut whylootbugs are cute and the game is already easy even at hazard 5
>>236941because they are bugs and are filled with gold
>>236906Complacency
>>236579Only if the situation necessitates it, like if I'm 5 Nitra off a resupply or something. Not because I'm some faggot wholesome redditor but because I hate how the minerals scatter so wildly. If they fly off too far, it's too much of a chore to go find them and not worth the time investmentIt's just a waste of time if you've got enough Nitra banked for multiple resupplies
>>236579I have Bosco do it for me and pick up the resources if they aren't out of the way.
What did he mean by this?
>>237055Dirt's too hard man, gotta soften it up a bit
New Driller hereI've picked up the basics, but any tips on build path / general gameplay? I'm doing pretty well at cutting utility tunnels and moving my team quickly through the mines, and I feel decently useful during swarms, but my personal movement is still pretty clunky. Am I meant to be a little slower then everyone except the gunner? Where should I be during fights?
>>237577>tips on drillsWhenever you're defending an objective (fuel cells etc.) drill the wall to give the team more space to move while being inside the area they need to be in.If the team is low drill a defensive position inside a wall (just a long tunnel with a wide enough ending area to let everyone shoot)>Where should I be during fightsUp front with the cryo gun, focusing pretorians and macteras with the cryo gun, Gassing chokepoints and C4-ing big clumps of enemiesSprints helps a lot, vampire+cryo gun+barbed drills is lots of fun.EPC mining is also very fast and helps reaching distant minerals or red sugar in case a scout or (bad)scout+engi combo isn't availableImo the unlocks are just better for the class, the subata can be ok but the cryo gun is leagues above the flamer in a 4 man squad, so maybe it will click for you too once you get them.cock and stone.
>Could make the MULE less annoying during solo play/in general>instead add in a voice line about how the MULE always gets in the way.Ironically enough I would make posts about this every few months until I realized how much of a waste of time steam forums are. i could only imagine how fucked in the head you would have to be to never be able to admit that you could have done it better.
>>237624you are dumb
>>237637i'm sure you have the same mindset as the devs which is "well i never encounter a issue with it in my full haz 3 lobbies, so theres nothing to fix!". runner up goes to the retards who will come out of the woodwork to argue that managing molly is a "gameplay feature" for arbitrary reasons.
>>237643>Press C>problem solved
>>237648pretending to be retarded still makes you a retard.
>>237653If your C key is broken you can rebind it anon :^)
>>237660i forgot it was a coop game, bad players love when every feature in a game holds their hand even if it slows the gameplay down.
>>237624Are you saying you don't love when Molly ignores where you tell it to go or when it randomly decides to block tunnels you're walking through during an incoming swarm?
>>237672Even the little things are aggravating. Standing up right as you're about to turn in minerals. Pathing to you when you're jumping so it goes on the ceiling instead.All of these are problems, yet the only issue you would ever have if you had to press C before it moved would be a noob accidentally leaving it in the previous room. 4-5 Annoying problems all so one player never has to have a learning experience. That is shitty game dev.
>>237668>when every feature in a game holds their handhow tf does molly hold your hand?
So I'm hearing a lot of bitching about molly, which is fair. We are dwarfs however so we fix shit and don't just wine like a bunch of leaf lickers . How would you improve her then?
>>237760Give it the ability to lock it in place, so it can't automatically follow you and get in the way. On solo missions especially this thing is a fucking pain to deal with sometimes.
>>237752Not him but I'm guessing he is referring to how molly will automatically come to you anyway if you stray too far from it.
>>237760remove scout's ability to call molly.
>>237774I fucking hate this. Scouts that constantly call for molly any time they fill up when they can run to her faster than she can make it to them. Whenever I run scout I max out my carrying capacity and just zip over to her myself. In the rare instance I'm feeling lazy I just mine everything so the chunks fall to the ground and then ping them so another dwarf can grab it. Scout is literally mobity the class, there is no reason I should be making the other classes run around.
>>237774Ghostship, hire this man
>>237760give everyone a minimule and only use molly on certain missions like low o2 ones
>>236616I usually go max damage for the incendiary bulldog and ammo mod for the hellfire mini. Are you playing with a friendly flamethrower driller? Try using elemental insulation and Friendly to make yourself fireproof and super explosive resistant.
>>237643I called you dumb because the voice line is the devs poking fun at themselves, aka admitting that what they've done sort of sucks.
>>236873>he doesn't have manly passionate dwarfsex with his male bros after they saved eachother's life in the EDDfucking leaf lovers get the fuck out of my thread

Guess I'll just go solo this elite.
>>236579Every last one of them.
>>239147Maybe it had something to do with having dual cryo but not having a gunner.
>>238153>give everyone a minimuleAnon, I hope you are suggesting that we are doing the world building. By that, I mean, creating all the salvage missions for ourselves.Minimules will cause team wipes. Just as the lore tells us.

tips for gunner?

>>240308learn how to use your shield proactively
>>240308Auto-cannon is betterUse ziplines to shoot bugs where they can't reach you, just watch out for spitters/menaces/macteraDrop shields when you/your teammates are getting overwhelmed (ideally before personal shields go down), not just when they go downZiplines are great for quickly moving your entire team from point A to point B, as long as point B is lower elevation and you don't care much about the return tripBig Bertha and Carpet Bomber are both meme OCs, Splintering Shells is BiS
>>240314danke
>speedrun escort solo on haz3 as engi for assignment>get to hearthstone with two supplies worth of nitra >hardly have to shoot shit between my sentry, bosco, and mines that I keep refilling with the supply dropsFelt like I was playing a tower defense game, the most I did during the hearthstone was firing grenades at the spikes in the last phase. Also I've tried to solo haz4 escort and I swear it's much harder solo even if the difference between 3 and 4 usually isn't that bad.
>>240308Play Engineer instead.
>>240340Haz 4 escort is hectic but you'll usually win as long as you have enough proximity mines and keep your turrets loaded.
Fuck I love being a driller.
Fuck I love being a scout.
Fuck I love being a gunner.
I FUCKING HATE BEING AN ENGINEER
>>240767Engineer would be the best class in the game if the power drills didn't exist.He literally has everything, good single target dps, fast crowd clear, massive area denial, and a very versatile utility tool.
>>240843I actually main engineer for the reasons you described.I just felt the need to complete the chain with the obvious conclusion to the joke.
>>240843>>240857Is there any way to use the grenade launcher beside the grenade jump one, the nuke or the hyper propellant?
>>240987use clean sweep like a normal person
>>241017but why not just use the plasma cutter at that point?Also is there any mod that makes the smg not shit?
>>241034>but why not just use the plasma cutter at that point?personal preference really. some people like big booms instead of melty beams>Also is there any mod that makes the smg not shit?use em refire booster and 1x122 for decent cc. useful when using hyperpropellant
>>239943>>239946>>240235>looks at you awkwardly>takes the gold and deposits into Molly>proceeds to run off alone and dies in chasm
>>241114>See here!>Hellllooooooo!?>Look what I found!>Explosives placed!
>>236457Zhukovs, what are they good for? What do I run with them? I have Gas Recycling, Cryo Minelets, Custom Casings and Minimal Mags.
>>236598Sorry, Bullet Hell is probably the worst OC for the Minigun. Even knowing that Big Bertha outdamages full DPS Leadstorm without even factoring feedback loop, trying to turn the Minigun into AC's niche works against it unlike Big Bertha.Pretty fun though.
>>241034>but why not just use the plasma cutter at that point?Because bugs aren't always in a straight line in front of me.>Also is there any mod that makes the smg not shit?The smg isn't shit. Recently I've been messing around and going for a quality build that ignores electric damage with Light-Weight Rounds and 12111>>241154I like running zhuks with blowthrough cryo minelets. It's pretty handy for cc, deals wonderfully with swarmers, and can assist in freezing targets that don't quite get frozen from your cryo grenades.
>>241172I found the 1 second arming time, short lifespan of the mines and requiring more than one clip for freezing anything bigger than a grunt pretty detrimental and using it with the cryo grenades is redundant. What primary do you pair it with? I don't have bullets of mercy, that would probably save the OC, but I do have Hipster for the M1K.
>Get grabbed by a mactera>It clips through the refinery and drops me inside of it>Can't move but enemies can still attack>Forced to abort missionNice game
>>241205The way bugs interact with the mine head and doretta is so fucking upsetting, they just clip constantly into it and turns what is supposed to be a dwarf-made structure meant to be safe into a bug trap where they can hide below you and bite you while being completely safe from you.
scout bros...
>>241159I don't know why more people use Big Bertha. I ran a funny build with rate of fire upgrades and splash damage radius and fell in love with it. Felt like Splintering Shells but with twice as much damage on a single target. Really good on elimination missions.
>>241159That's my exact point though, if you are minmaxing then you should be using the autocannon, end of debate.So if you are deliberately going to use the worse gun then why not double down and take the fun OCs?
>>241350Can't argue with that.
>>241276>a manlet among dwarvesSuch is the life of a sc*ut
>>241059Not that anon but I've been fucking with hyperpropellant but I've been missing the crowd control of normal launcher or BC since shotty is pretty bad with a bunch of small shit. This combined with my turrets is a god send.
>scout joins in the middle of a fight>refuses to fight and light until everyone V's him.cya, bitch
>>241177Hoverclock m1k 21121Anything bigger than a grunt should either be getting shot in a weakspot by your primary weapon or have a cryo grenade thrown at it.The main point of the cryo minelets is to help deal with hordes and swarmers when there isn't something more important to be shooting with your primary and the main point of the cryo grenades is to deal with flying shit quickly and panic freeze stuff that is about to fuck your team.
>>241296I don't get the hype behind Big Bertha. The mag size penalty is massive and it makes you spend more time reloading/waiting for Born Ready than you do actually shooting things. You can cancel it out with the mag size mod but then you tank your overall ammo efficiency since you miss out on the max ammo mod. I could see it useful for Eliminiation where the up front burst is probably more valuable but for general use I don't see why I would want it compared to either of the green OCs.
>>240308Ignore >>240401 idiotsYou don't look at raw DPS, your job is staying power. Always keep an eye out for high visibility locations in case of hordes, don't just fuck around on zip lines. You are to be the anchor in the middle of a horde where all the scrambling kiters can run back to when they need a moment of respite so you need to be operational for as long as possible. Very little can match the pure single target dps of a specced minigun and auto cannon makes short work of densly packed swarms.Don't just drop shields when people are down, drop them as you start to get overwhelmed so more guns stay up. Use shields to push away high risk targets like bulks. Gunner is best in escort, salvage, elimination, and point extraction where you're playing around one single area that you can sculpt to your liking. He is good at moving heavy loads quickly and bridging large gaps but not several smaller ones.
>>241742>The mag size penalty is massive and it makes you spend more time reloading/waiting for Born Ready than you do actually shooting things.That's why you pair it with leadspray BRT with a magazine upgrade. 36 shots gives you 12 bursts. When you empty the BRT you switch back to Bertha. That way you're always firing.
>>241761What if I want to shoot something more than ten feet away?
>>241769Bertha.
minigun sounds better so its the best.
>>241773But the auto-cannon isn't accurate.
>>241782Big Bertha has an accuracy buff.

>>242037i want that helmet so bad
>>242037I'm pretty sure in 3 days, when the event starts, it's still gonna be February. It's ending on the 14th next month however
You guys tried the Volatile bullets for the Handcannon yet? The one that does 300% damage againest burning targets but you have a 30% penalty to damage.It's basically a pocket hyperpropellant and you can burn most things other than Dreds and Bulks easily with your grenade or burning minigun
>>242037Cool armor but fuck tips.>>242184I just got burning hell and volatile bullets but haven't tried them out yet, what mods are you using?
>>242037>helmet removes beardngmi
>>242037i'd like to tip lloyd into the fucking sun
>>242184It's really good but it demands preparation. You need to double check your driller is running flamer and a minigun with Burning Hell. As long as everything keeps getting set on fire you're doing more damage than the elephant rounds OC without any of the drawbacks (reduced ammo/3 shots/recoil/ slow reload)It'd be an easy S tier if could just work on dreadnoughts. So never bring it on elimination.
>>242300having 2 dwarves running conflicting builds is one of the most agonizing things to deal with
*sheathes katana*
>>242354It feels bad but at least temperature shock exists. It's easy enough to play passively to utilize ts but it's hell playing with two stubborn greenbeards with conflicting builds.
>>239382Aren't you a fucking joy.
>>242163Yeah I misread, starts at 7am EST tomorrow
>>242416>but at least temperature shock existswhat a waste of potential, could've been an interesting mechanic but nope, we only get 200 flat damage that's useless in anything above haz2
>>242466what do you think it should have been? Genuinely curious.
i see people are choosing main classes, but i've been spending my first 20 levels ranking up all of them. should i pick a class and just stick with it? if I pick driller and stick with it, doesn't that mean i'll be weighing down teams that already have one?
>>242580pick one class and main it until you reach rank 25 and get your first promotion on itthis will allow you to actually access most of this game's contentafter that just play whatever you want
>>242583It'd advisable to promote each class at least once so you get a good feel for their strengths and weaknesses.A teammate who understands everyone's roles is invaluable. Beyond that just play who you like.
>>242580early on its a good idea to main since your going to be dropping tons of resources to buy upgradesonce you get a promoted dwarf and get a sizable supply of resources then you can play everything without worrying about your mineral supply other than jadiz
>>242580I pick whatever and I always have fun.No reason to stick with a specific class after you've unlocked everything
>>242037>next update brings no actual contentwow thanks
>>242219You'd hate playing with me. I only use helmets that hide all the hair.
>>242416>It feels bad but at least temperature shock existsJust TS as Driller, Cryo and EPC. Don't make it a group effort.
>>242670It's not really a standard update. It's like complaining that hotfixes don't bring content.
>>242537i'm not one to cough up brilliant ideas for mechanics but at least a damage increase, maybe a permanent buff or maybe depending on hazard would've made temp shock useful against anything that isn't a grunt, though i'm sure someone else could have better ideas in that regard
>>242705Flat damage plus a percent of the targets health(like ten percent) grunts barely affected but larger targets actually take decent damage.
>>242580no. but getting each class promoted once is a good idea. play whatever the team needs or whatever you want or feel most comfortable with. people who "main" are generally some of the worst players of their class.
>>242300I had this loadout on a triple elim mission and god the dreadnoughts took so long to kill.
