Id add, propper usage of repellent platforms can make the efficiency of this OC insaaaane, especially for holds, dotty and salvage defense

Noooooooooooo😢

Entry level tips not useful beyond clearing hazard 1. This reminds me of thise WH dartide advacned tips videos that said things like "collect resources when you see them!"

7:02 - This is not always true. If it passed through clean, without entering any caves on the way, nothing spawns.

Engineers the moment they see a huge hole: 🏃‍➡️ 🟫 🌕

The only single negative unfair thing I found in this game is that enemies can hit you through solid surfaces. I had many occasions when aquarqs spawned in the ceiling so I had to tunnel there with scout, but died inside when glyphids crawling on the outside bit through the wall, with 0 ways for me to fight back. This literally cost us the whole mission, as others couldn't possibly get to the place. But yes, otherwise the game is pretty much bugless. Not counting glyphids.

People complaining about no content updates. Me: it’s a “Finished Product”… the game is literally done. The product, it’s at its peak. That’s it. There shouldn’t be anything but the DEV's love the game so much they give us updates regardless. It shouldn’t have been a life service to begin with but the DEV's decided to make it into one.

Thanks for taking the time to detail this out!

I'm a bit late to this, but at 9:44 it's a bit painful not using the quick throw, if kinda do a weird sort of rocking motion between your grenade button and your pick or previous item button you can throw grenades super quickly, allowing you to throw a few axes at oppressors before they unfreeze or just to throw grenades fast in general, it doesn't work for stun sweepers or ssgs but it does work for axes and lead bursters which are the 2 most useful. The timing is a little weird and it's sort of a rocking motion but also not really, so you'd have to get used to it, but you can use it to quickly throw 6 or so axes at those crystals to destroy them much faster with the axes 👍

Another tips for Driller : If you use the Sludge Pump as a primary and Subata as a secondary, make sure you use the Neuro-Corrosive Toxic Catalyst as the last upgrade, because if you first shoot an armored bug with your Pump, it will allow the bullets of the Subata to IGNORE ARMOR (including the DoT from the upgrade), including UNBREAKABLE ARMOR like the Hiveguard Boss. This is particularly usefull with a second tip (that also work with Scout's Zhukov) : You can stack a massively damaging explosive reload with the Subata (Explosive Reload OC) or the Zhukov (Embedded Detonator OC) by using the Born Ready passive perk, since the explosion damage scales indefinitely with how much bullets are landed. First shoot almost all of your clip but NOT the entirety of it, then switch to another weapon and wait 5 seconds. Once your dwarf says "born ready !" or something like that (you can also use the "Born Ready Pop Up" mod) switch back to the Subata/Zhukov and it'll be fully reloaded WITHOUT having triggered the explosion, then shoot more bullets, switch back, etc... until you see the red icon indicating the explosion will kill the bug, and THEN reload manually. Combining those two tips, you can go through a Twin battle without them healing even once if you do it right.

reganding 5:30, I think its a good habit for scouts to use harder to reach/far away red sugar. It sucks to have a newbie scout ou your team taking loads of fall damage and devouring every red sugar in sight

People complaining about being kicked....host your own game. Problem solved.

thx

13:36 I hear that gigachad iron will mod

The sludge gun is my favorite. I haven't used the freeze gun often though, I need to remedy that.

Noob here, My platform gun doesn’t have the blue outline where the platform will actually be built. How do I get that?

How to become TRUE Engie greybeard: 1) Learn what your utilities CAN do and what they CAN'T. For example, if you using full armor piercing and single damage dealing setup - focus the "fat boyz" and stationaries in the first place, because they're mostly deadly. If you use Explosive Rounds, make your Smart Gun with focused lens, because you'll lock on further targets and lock on will stack on 3 on the designated target way often. And don't spend Fat Boy rounds as damage dealing on armored targets. Use it for creating hazard-areas of HUGE radius, which will BURN and RADIATE swarms in the area. Sometimes it's even usable in bunkers, if your Driller made the right one. 2) Your Plaster Gun is so much more than addition to your combat utilities with OC or just helping tool. Driller will appreciate you, if you make a ring of platforms a little bit lower from pipe nests on Liquid Morkite, because he can utilize it for making one-way highway for pipelines, so your team won't need to separate on repair segment (but it's not working on Haunted Cave modifier, so keep that in mind). You can build roads on Fungie Bogs through sludge. You can cover ice or magma hazards. You can make safe-pillows under defensive ziplines (and, please, DO SO!) You can BUILD BUNKERS yourself, if you don't have Driller, because if you know how utilize Repellent - you are in control of bugs on some point. Like, spirals over stationary missions or on open spaces can provide pretty damn good points for defensive strategies. You can utilize 180 degree turrets there like tower defense, whiplash or not. You can slap proximity mines on the way up. You can electrocute platforms with Arc or snipe-burn bugs with splash damage from Explosive Plaster (just don't explode it, but use it mostly for short bursts on area). And so on. 3) Be. Close. To. Your. Team. If you have Field Medic, make sure you CAN create a safe-window to revive (Breach Cutter with Spinning Death), for example. Or cover your team depending on your build and help them with platforms. If you're under heavy fire from above or afar - make cowers, etc. You're problem solver, not problem maker - remember that.

Its funny how just doing the turret controller is considered an advanced tip as 90% of the time your team will have already killed all the turrets before your done hacking. The primary issue with the tip is that if you are playing with randoms its effectively useless as they brainlessly use up ammo on turrets anyways. Personally I think they should replace the hack with you just smashing a few bits on the controller kinda like the communications router.

I just started thanks for advice

What is that hyper props build?

If you fall with drille4 and drill straight down you dont take fall damage at least for me it worked

You didnt tell people they can lock upgrades at the end of the level to save them for later

how do you show that live mission data at the bottom during missions?

field medic's fear effect is why i use it over dash the insta revive also comes in handy. it's my go to

I don't really see the point in kicking a dwarf unless they're intentionally griefing or harassing teammates. It's a coop game, not a competetive shooter. Sometimes you'll have a greenbeard or a random dwarf make a mistake that hurts the mission, and that's okay. That's how players learn and improve, you're not going to win every game and I don't think it should be expected that other players play ar your level of gamesense unless you've specifically coordinated a private lobby for this through a 3rd party service such as Discord. Playing in open lobbies you've gotta be okay with having any dwarf joining including someone who's just bought the game. Of course get rid of the nasties and trolls. But keep anyone else.

4:55 someone mines compressed gold and the chat fucking disintegrates

The gunner also has a reduce fall damage thing as an option.. the wiki says its bugged and lasts until you are downed so permanent fall damage reduction with engies platforms and tunnel rat you can fall a really long way and if you are scout well i think you got fall damage immunity.

>you are one off from the free LOK1 SKIN

platforms can be used as cover, block off glyphid access, used for traversal up and down(fall damage mitigation), extend an area making glyphids take a bit longer, roof for doretta, extend an area a little allowing gunner to place ziplines further away, scout combo with grappling hook to get ores quickly, placed below ziplines it can save people if they fall, it can let a driller extend their cave a bit if there's a gap that wont allow them to drill(very useful on refining). even a platform for a better sightlines for turrets or yourself give access to c4 positions for driller abuse on industrial

i shitted out an ebonut what do i do?

19:07 I don't understand why "fat boy" is supposedly in the meta. There are about 20 bugs there, you can kill them with 1-2 shots from the cutter. At the same time, there will be a lot of ammo and a lot of variability. And "Fat boy" has only 4 ammo, which you can't always use. You are greedy, or you don't have enough. I tested it many times, but for damage to the crowd, the cutter is 100 times better (for me). I also main the engineer

7:46 This is a very valid complaint. When I first played DRG, I had the same issues of motion sickness and eye strain. I really couldnt get through a mission without being incredibly motion sick. There is no option to turn off screen shake. And also no option to turn off motion blur.

11:30 you sure about Point Extraction being the only mission that gets progressively harder? I took over an hour to do Morkite Seeds and the game threw the twins at me at about the 50 minute mark.

thanks for probably the most useless tips

I don't even know what those weapons are, I don't have them

Is Zach Woods narrating this? (It's a good thing. Zach is a very funny and down to earth guy lol) Awesome video, informative and enjoyable. Thanks!

Do mods affect playing online/with friends? Sry if he says it in the video im at work and have to watch with sound off

The guy getting kicked for not playing with the team in a HEAVILY CO-OP game is actually a very common thing I've heard. It's like... They can't fathom that people don't enjoy carrying others all the time and don't like playing with someone who doesn't follow the plans. There is so many of those "I go join someone's game but then play as if I was on SOLO" kind of players in this game, it's absolutely baffling. The host of the mission makes the call. If you want to decide everything, host a game yourself... Or better yet... Play solo!

Dang, happen to be watching this exactly one year after the video came out, rocktoberfest is tomorrow and there’s a wurst beer in the video 😅

5:58 YOU TRY TO TAKE HIS BAWLSSS

People who get mad when you kick them after 20+ deaths because they're like level 10 and somehow unlocked hazard 5 only joined you to get carried.
