I actually think cave leech cluster makes leeches MORE tolerable - because you know they’re gonna be there instead of them spawning so infrequently that you forget they exist
This was going to be my comment ❤
I very often forget about them leeches due to my ADHD and I couldn't agree with you more.
Haunted cave is basically going up another hazard level imo. Sometimes you have alien eggs that are all in the same area and the invulnerable bulk detonator makes it soooo tough
Boltshark scouts or sludge pump drillers can stack slows on the ghost to the point it can't really move and the slows just don't go away. Fire a few taser bolts or charged sludge pump shots and you can basically render the ghost an invalid
It is pretty fun tho
@@craigfunk3453 If you have to change your loadout to beat/deal with the anomaly wouldn't that imply that it's quite difficult to deal with? Sludge only lasts like what 10-15 seconds? Thats certainly not enough time to disarm the anomaly. To each their own but i find it to be one of the harder ones in the game
@@nicholasabraham259 its not really changing my loadout by much to handle haunted cave. And what I meant is the game tends to bug out slightly when you apply shock or sludge based slowdowns several times to the ghost that the game just forgets to remove the slowdown effects. I had several ghosts all permanently stuck at half speed or slower just by hitting it with 3 taser bolts back to back, driller with a couple charged sludge pump shots does it to a point the ghost moves so slowly it doesn't even do the walking animation you can just see it slowly sliding along the ground.
I commonly use the sludge pump as my go to driller weapon and the boltshark has become more frequently used since we got conductive thermals with S5.
The ghost just interacts weirdly to multiple slowdown effects applying repeatedly, I've done this solo and in groups, and I've seen it in a few videos from PC players
The mutators put in a lot of work making missions feel different when replayed a lot
As a scout main a absolutely hate swarmageddon.
I absolutely love it as a driller main
swarmageddon is on the opposite side of the spectrum for me. I despise that warning because its just constant harassment that can really chunk a lot hp out of you if you're not paying attention. Especially when combined with shield distruption and lethal enemies and I main driller. the fact that they're so easy to kill doesn't make me feel better in fact, it makes me feel worse because you know you could've avoided that damage if you just paid a little more attention too. It feels so tilting.
Counterpoint, golden bugs swarmageddon = never needing money again
Ebonite Outbreak is so fun, having pickaxe overcharge in a industrial sabotage you can just slap the Caretaker’s eye all over. It’s such a good mod
What kind of maddwarf pickaxe hit the Caretaker?
the maddwarves in question...
@@ArresvayStudio The kind that make Karl proud
@@sal1764 FOR KARL!!!
I think blood sugar on high haz actually makes certain mission a lot easier. Especially with double bugs on, you end up swimming in red sugar when every swarmer, jelly, grunt drops ten health or whatever is
Claiming Blood sugar does anything but make the mission MUCH easier basically tells you that whoever holds the opinion plays on the lower hazards.
@@sircastic959 I got a shield disruption+blood sugar mission once...that was *not* fun
@@stormjet814 That's a great combination because every bug sustains you unlike pure shield disruption.
Regardless of hazard, I'm pretty sure Blood sugar also increases the spawn rate for small swarmer waves.
The game makes sure you get that constant supply of weak enemies to stay topped off. I don't have proof but every time I load into a blood sugar mission it feels like swarmaggeddon light.
@marzipancutter8144 yeah you might be right cus one of my fav things about blood sugar is just standing still in swarmer waves pickaxe swinging, letting thorns work. Unless it's a massive wave you get so much hp they can't even hurt you lol
The only thing I kinda hate about low gravity is, if I get used to it too much, it throws me off my play-sense and I tend to take fall dmg far more often in normal missions. Dunno if it's only me or if someone else feels the same from time to time.
Low G in deep dives is genuinly kinda dangerous, cuz youll head into the next phase still used to being able to jump off of cliffs with no issue.
And then you die.
Once had a low g mission with rocket boots as scout, felt like I was made of lead in the next misson lol
i have the same issue with jet boots.
@@Purrfect_Werecat Every time after finishing a jet boots mission, there's that moment the next mission starts, you exit the drop pod, press spacebar twice, and then it hits you: "Oh right. No Jetboots"
The deep sense of dread of being grounded has no equal.
Blood sugar is definitely going up another hazard level for me
Blood sugar is a much wider variance in how it affects a mission based on the mission type and what other mutator/hazard the mission may have. Low oxygen or dreadnaughts? Absolute nightmare scenario. Swarmageddon, parasites, or point extraction? You have so many targets dropping red sugar you almost can't die
I highly doubt you are on haz5 then. Blood sugar only makes things harder if your mission has a chronic lack of bugs to kill.
I think Lithophage Outbreak is incredibly good, even if you dislike the enemies, the process, whatever. The fact that it gives an additional ~50% mission XP is fucking cracked, the few times ive gotten Double XP and Lithophage Outbreak, its XP for fuggin days! Also, Low Oxygen can go straight to hell, F tier mutator.
It's not just XP, I think it affects crafting mats as well. Nothing beats the dopamine surge of seeing a mineral mania mission, switching to season 3/4, and having it be affected by lithophage outbreak.
low gravity and oxygen together is just drg the pre sequel
Maybe a little hot take...but does anyone else see a honey badger head in the cave leech mutator drawing? Don't know why, but I can't unsee it!
My biggest issue with swarmaggedon is ammo. If you don't have a good aoe then you just end up needing to resupply a lot more
I actually really love low O2, for exactly the reasons you listed disliking them. It makes me focus up in a way I don't get in other missions.
Basically, I see the large stress it brings as an absolute feature.
Massive deviation depending on teammates, but for an at least average team it also makes me feel like a more cohesive squad moving forward together.
The only instance i recall doing an Ebonite Infestation mission, was a Deep Scan, and given the fact the team often ends up split up throughout the initial cave, having to try and share Molly where possible, they _could_ be kind of oppressive... given I ran Driller for that mission, it was pretty fun though... 😹
Blood sugar spawns in swarmers similar to swarmageddon so you never run out of enemies to kill for sugar.
I think low Oxy needs its own tier because the reward is terrible. 20%. that and the things that provide oxygen need an unobstrcuted line to you. There have been many times when im near or on a refinery or minehead and not regaining oxygen.
Haunted on anything other than mining is +haz level and I think blood sugar needs to be switched to a warning.
The first "Duck and Cover" mission I ever did was a deep dive with an escort mission in the second stage. I thought I could do a chill solo deep dive. I was wrong, it was not even a fight but butchery.
Very good tierlist. Gonna be honest, i truly think haunted cave is a whole additional hazard level on some missions, not all but some.
Worst gotta be Elim missions 😑
"A whole additional hazard level" and "fun" aren't mutually exclusive
Unfortunately, I have never thought haunted cave was fun. Just oh boy, look where my daily assignment is taking me today :(.
@@johnfoy6590 I suppose that's the spelunky player in me :)
But it's also a lot more fun if you're in a group of friends with voicechat. That's because you have to call out who the ghost is aggroing on to at any given time, manage your positioning a lot and keep track of several ongoing tasks you're routing between rather than do them sequentially. This game normally encourages you to do tasks in the lulls between enemies rather than checking off objectives drive-by style, so it's a breath of fresh air when it kinda forces you to do that.
@@marzipancutter8144 You are 100% correct. With friends i could totally see how a haunted cave can allow for hilarious shenanigans. I have never played deep rock with friends and mostly fly solo so i lose a lot of the silliness, just get a lot of hardcore play.
hot take but i despise low gravity. i feel unbearably slow just jumping around, and the utility of not taking fall damage could be avoided by just playing better. its specially annoying on scout because i tend to relesse my grappling hook mid-air, which just messes up my trajectory and i have to foolishly wait 3 seconds for my hook to come off coldown as i slowly descend onto the floor
I had a low oxygen + blood sugar elimination mission that basically made me swear off doing low oxygen missions with randoms. The team kept taking all the nitra and dropping all the resupplies all in one small cluster in one of the more open caverns. On top of elimination basically not having many bugs spawning so we were always dying to blood sugar, having no scattered resupply pods to make an oxygen network to safely move around to gather more nitra or make a safe route between dreadnaught cocoons or back to the drop pod made deaths occur several times more often than needed to low oxygen basically tripling (or more!) the constant damage everyone was taking, and the team 'leader' kept running off and calling Molly to stupidly far off positions left most of the team huddling like cowards by the resupply pod cluster eating all the ammo to 'survive' instead of actively hunting the dreadnaughts. I had to rapidly tunnel between the cocoons grabbing every bit of sugar and nitra i could find hoping to survive long enough to pop an egg and make it back to the team or get to molly so i could call a resupply to actually stand my ground alone. I barely managed to win that mission while the others kept dying and reviving each other in an endless loop of deaths. That was one mission i had to leave the 'team' behind. Some people just actively try to sabotage others for their own amusement
Elite threat grabbers are so fast that i have a hard time hitting them so id say its a little bit annoying just for that
You forgot to mention that the nemesis can spawn during rival presence
"Which is a lot of fun to listen to the drawfs talk like that" made me chuckle
Wait................. there r elite bulk dets 😐
I found that out the hard way while playing a escort duty mission. It was terifying seing the bulk detonator rushing towards the dozer through the tunnel.
Probably a hot take, but I really love lithophage outbreaks, duck and cover, and exploder infestations
I agree with most of your placements, except for Blood Sugar. That stuff makes any mission so much easier. In my experience you are constantly on full health because of the sheer amount of sugar spawning. The difference of experience is probably in haz levels.
Blood sugar is op on missions such as salvage. Because the enemies keep coming to you and you basically will never die unless a bug boy like an oppressor shows up. But even then if you bring thorns you usually have so much sugar on the ground from the swarmers and grunts just killing themselves around you that you can just tank non stop. It's super fun. At least on defense heavy missions.
I remember a while ago watching some videos someone did about doing missions with anomaly/mutator combos that arent allowed to happen normally. Might be worth checking out. Volatile guts for example doesnt happen with parasites ever because either the volatile guts explosion prevents the parasites from spawning (the black sludge on the ground that the parasites jump out of) or just kills them outright. Rival presence/industrial sabotage are designed to replace all stationary targets (such as cave leeches) with the rival turrets so cave leech cluster doesnt appear with those missions.
As a fellow ADHD man, I can confirm that O2 is easy to forget about.
Pots of gold should reduce gold mining to hit 1 per tick. That way it would be a very very fun combo if you find a gold rush mission and have pots of gold available
Regen bug is mostly an issue with bigger and very mobile target that tend to run away like grabbers and koronar shellbacks, thoses are awaful with regen, also even if the regen is little bits, it’s still litlle bits that require extra bullets so definitely annoying.
I'll never do a solo Escort Duty with Ebonite Outbreak again.
Lethal enemies can be a pain, unless you happen to see it paired with mactera plague or duck and cover, basically making most if not all of the bugs you see ranged enemies that dont ever get close to melee you, its just a free payout bonus at that point
Like and comment for the algorithm
I recently played a morkite extraction mission (no Molly) w/ low O2 w/ some randos, right after they fixed the Gunner cheese for core stone... and my GOD it was awful. We barely made it out alive 😂
Blood sugar on a drillivator is goated, I did it once. Tripple engi and blood sugar
please link the tierlist in the description in the future. Would love to creaty my version alongside you
Id say low gravity is by far the strongest modifier , while critical weakness is amazing at 4x crit damage, with low grav if you keep jumping you are literally invulnerable to most ground based enemies, it makes it impossible to die
Id honestly move critical weakness up to the top. I agree that tougher enemies feel good to take down absolutely, but sometimes its just nice to see everything get popped like a balloon. The high damage makes hqppy brain chemicals activate.
Swarmageddon gets put in annoying for me. They're my least favorite enemy to begin with. Not enough bonus xp to make it worth it.
Exploder infestation is boosted up to the top. Lots of walking bombs walking around is good for haha funnies. I honestly kind of wish this warning came with an increased chance of bulk's too.
Duck and cover for me is at the top. It changes up the mission enough that even though it can be more difficult, it makes the mission very different. And that extra variety is what makes it so nice for me.
Had a golden bugs + swarmageddon we had a 1200 gold payout
I play as a melee build scout, so 'blood sugar' and 'ebonite outbreak' are really fun for me.
How do you pull off melee scout? Just vampire and skull crusher ale lol? I've just started to appreciate how strong a regular pickaxe swing with a skull crusher is, one shots grunts to the head
Critical Weakness should be in Very Fun because of Hyper Propellant
I don't see the problem with Rival Presence, just bring the CRISPR, Shard Diffractor, or literally any other source of fire damage.
Haunted one of rough but I had it once with no o2 and it just felt impossible to do. But mactera plus parasite just has next to no spawns at least in my experience
Blood sugar either makes missions way easier or way harder
I personally think low gravity makes the game a little harder as the floatier movement makes it harder to dodge, buy that's just me.
Elite lootbug. Need I say anymore
Balls in stone
I have the most fun while playing with quadriple mactera plague (help me I was on that mission for 2 hours)
Great and fun list! I agree with most of your assessments, except for the swarms. But that might have to do with the fact that I play mostly Scout and that class hasn't good capabilities against swarmers XD
Regarding the Blood sugar mutator: I may be wrong, but I noticed it was quite difficult when it was first released, because of the times without enemies that you could get. Now? After some patch, I feel like those missions come with unannounced waves of swarmes, that help you stay alive (they drop red sugar) but makes the mission much more annoying (again, because I tend to play Scout). Maybe it was like this from the get go, maybe these swarms are not really a thing. Let me know, I'm curious.
i love the list
Geek doc galactic
Why would you put gold rush in a bit annoying? You could just not take the gold. it's optional so why make yourself do it???
Because its gold and we are dwarves! there's nothing optional about gold!!
Fair point
Honestly, the more i play the game, the less i like pots o'gold, gold rush and golden detonators. They're all slog, and are generally not worth the time since you can always just sell a thousand croppa or so if you really need money
Real dwarves get rich thru hard work.
Only Leaf-lovers mass sell minerals to get rich.
@@matthewofcolumbus5610 but what do i do with all the croppa then T_T
Elim and haunted cave is the most horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible combination in this game
Even worse is haunted cave refinery in one of those maps where the refinery is at the bottom of the cave. Without a driller.

Oh.... Not that bad....
Try out haz 5+2more enemies....
Also robots affected by regenerative bugs as well as pheromones
