I use the Warthog with 1-1-2-2-1 and Magnetic Pellet Alignment. It will kill common bugs with a single shot to the mouth at decent range, has a good firing rate, and the ammo is plentiful. You can use the turret whip to get stragglers on the ceiling out of your effective reach. It does struggle a bit with larger enemies, though, I admit.

Modding is the way

Imagine if you could decorate your little bedroom, and then “take it with you” when you join a lobby.

I am subscribed to over 100 channels, ranging from daily uploads to 1 video every few months. Frankly I don’t need more stuff to watch. When I do want to find something new, it’s either a recommendation from a friend, something I saw on a different social media, or something I searched for myself deliberately.

This change isn’t a good thing, it’s Google trying to pressure more people into giving up more data, but the “threat” of them removing their algorithmically recommended content from my feed is not a threat at all, it’s a bonus if anything.

Skins for more things. Drop pod skin, resupply pod skin, doretta skin, molly skin; have the host’s skins applied by default but then have a toggle to pick a random persons’s skins instead.

Nothing that skilled but hot damn was I sweatin.

You bet your beard it was satisfying.

It’d be cool the way you describe it, and a good money sink. I’d pay a million credits for a solid gold Molly statue.

To add onto that, things like drop pod, Molly, and Doretta skins would be cool too (game could default to the host’s skin).

PvP.

Two teams of 4 dwarves, starting at opposite ends of the cave, one from “another rival company, damn traitors” (which team? Who knows). Can’t leave until the other team is all downed. Whoever lives gets a bonus, but the losing team still gets credit for completing the mission if they complete a secondary objective. Crank up the bug spawns to the point where both teams might consider taking a break from fighting to team up during a wave.

Maybe it wouldn’t work, and maybe it would foster a negative environment, but damn a dwarf can dream.

Here’s some Engi tips from me:

• Have your turret(s) at least partially covering a wall or other vertical surface; generally dwarves have an easier time taking out lots of bugs on the ground, but struggle a bit with walls and ceilings.

• Related to the above, consider having your turrets facing backward toward you, at some distance. They’ll cover your back and alert you to incoming enemies you can’t see.

• Go ahead and platform every vein of ore or mineral deposit you can see when you enter a new area. Your Scout will appreciate it greatly.

Lootbugs eat dropped loose minerals, and when killed will yield a larger amount than what they ate. It can be worthwhile to let lootbugs munch on some stuff if you plan to return later, to harvest a bigger bounty.

That’s why we take blowthrough rounds, baby

Homemade cheese is preferred, but storebought is fine.

The game is Deep Rock Galactic, a PvE game where you play as a team of dwarves mining resources on an alien planet infested with hostile flora and fauna (namely, a whole lot of bugs).

As for the context of the clip:

• This mission had the “Haunted Cave” modifier, which adds a giant intangible enemy that crawls around and does massive damage AoE attacks
• The game has destructible terrain, either via pickaxe, drills, or explosions
• Sometimes the game can have wonky physics when you intersect with a sliver of terrain strangely, launching you with extreme force

So, after reviving my downed friend here, they tried to mine their way out of the pit they were stuck in, got launched by a terrain geometry bug backward, and then got absolutely destroyed by the Unknown Horror haunting the cave.

Gotta be honest, it was massive overkill. Pretty fun, though!

WE’RE RICH!

One VERY important note is that if a bug is trying to approach a dwarf who is standing on a platform, repellant is disabled entirely for ALL platforms, and the bug is free to approach directly.

Now this, I didn’t know. Always can learn something new!

The way repellent works isn’t super transparent - it doesn’t actually repel bugs directly, instead it increases the pathfinding cost for them to walk over it. What this means is bugs will prefer a longer path with no repellent platforms up to a point, and completely cutting off an area with platforms will just have them walk right over it, because all pathfinding distance costs to get across are modified by the same amount.

This makes repellent most effective in creating chokepoints and slowing down glyphids.

You’ll often be the first one entering new caves, so when you reach one do the following:

1. launch flares until it’s lit, 1-3 per cave depending on the size
2. LOOK UP

Seriously, look up. So many people don’t look up. I don’t look up, half the time. Looking up when you enter a new cave will stop you from being leech food.

DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE?
