You forgot to mention the most important part of the update: while hunting, the nemesis now says ‘we’re rich’ and ‘mushrum’

They should make an event called “mandatory overtime” or something where DRG hands out bonuses in a last ditch effort to stop the plague for taking over the planet

One thing Management didn't tell us is that Bosco can succ up the lithofoam when pinged. This makes solo play a lot faster and possible when boils are really far away.

Insidious twirl is definitely gonna be the moustache of choice for engineers who unequip fall damage protection on their platforms

I love Ghost Ship Games’ seasonal model. No FOMO, free pass, new banger content. Every season. Rock and stone.

I love love love that they're keeping the rival events in the game. It's not the fear of missing out I'm personally worried about on this topic, it's just the general idea of removing content. Dealing with rival content in the way they did with this transition into Season 3 adds so much variety into the game, I can't even imagine what this game will look like in 5 years.

Hopefully we get a new infected dreadnought type that would be so cool

I too, will be buying the hazmat suits. It also fits perfectly with drillers sludge pump. Edit: After messing around with different cosmetics, the hazmat suits go perfectly with the rusty colossus paintjob, on all 4 classes.

I spent some time studying Latin and Greek root words, and I'd like to point out that "Lithophage" comes from greek "Lithos", meaning "Stone", and greek "Phagein", meaning "Devour", so we get The Lithophage, or Stone Devourer. pretty cool detail by the devs, right? They could've called this thing anything but instead they went ahead and used real world language rules....or they chose it because it sounds cool. Anyway, Brachos kai Petra!

it was kind of a glossed over part of the video but the new 1-Complexity Sabotage is really fun and greatly improves its status of "I only kinda wanna do this once a week" mission. The Power Stations generate either in the same room as the Caretaker or really close which eliminates any and all backtracking. Considering the Caretaker is still a considerably long fight, I believe they could go one step further and have a 1-Length variation where you only need to hack 1 Power Station. As of writing this, the payout for the 1-2 Sabotage is about the same as Elimination, which adds some much needed consistency

The ripper competes with C4 for top teamkiller weapon for driller. It's kinda hilarious the lengths the blades sometimes go just to hit scout.

They increased the spawn rate of Crates so it spawns like Helmets/Lost Armor does. Now to catch up for a great many hours with minimal spawns. Also the new Lithophage modifier increases nitra spawns, since it adds a primary objective.

There's one really awesome thing my group noticed, which is that some of the Spacerig decorations appear to be randomised or cycling. So the appearance of it changes just a little between visits. That's really fun.

IMO this update is one step forward to bring DRG in the "horror game" category, this rock parasite thing terrify me.

No way can't believe they gave gunner an American lawn sprinkler

Wow vidoe good!

I think the Lithopage warning could be moved to its own mission type, where your entire mission goal is to kill a sufficient amount of infected glyphids that will be scattered around the level, along with any that spawn from waves. In essence the mission goal would say "Clean x lithopage spikes & kill 200 infected glyphids". But to make things more interesting than your average mission, the level layout should contain these fortified dens or nests of glyphids that really give the dwarves a fight. Instead of waves coming for us, we are coming for them.

The meteors make me wish for more complications that can replace the usual swarm. Say... a bot raid, or a load of parasites popping out of the ground, or an infected Dottie miniboss, or an one of those exploding ghosts showing up for a little while.

One new thing I noticed with cave generation (I encountered it on some salvage and egg hunt missions) are some tunnels that lead to dead ends, and don’t just always loop back. There were at least three rooms in those caves that were just empty, with barely or no ressources inside and tunnels leading to them. And I welcome this more varied way to not just having new rooms but organizing them in whole new patterns !

12:03 I am quite pleased with the addition of this mask Kinda wish there was a variant with a hat though tbh

DRG always hits it out of the park with the way they handle events. Already experienced a mission where Mission Control was screaming about mushrums during a bug swarm.

Oh man, I love the fact that there's now actual temporary weapons in the game for the Rockpox Warning. I've been wanting to see something like that for a while, and the fact that they've added it is really cool.

Minor correction, you can encounter 1-4 contagion spikes per mission. I had that earlier today, idk if 4 is the limit but I can’t imagine it being higher. Otherwise, nice work.

I love hearing mission control fail to understand the majesty of the *mushrum*

About beer and general drinking, on the lithophage container by the Bosco station the screen says: "%safe.for.brew~46.786%". Alluding to the fact that maybe the dwarves are crazy enough to make beer out of the Rockpox, which would bring at least one more beer to the menu at The Abyss Bar. However, in a voice message from Mission controll when you knock on lithophage containers, he says they are not submerged in alcohol, and that we can't drink it. But I don't believe him...

Always excited for a new deep rock season :) currently sitting on the steam page waiting for the update to drop, I'll see you all down in the mines bois!

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL DRG TEAM! I was saddened to find that there weren’t class specific cleaning tools but after playing it for a bit I came to the realization that I wouldn’t want it any other way

I just joined a few days ago, and honestly some of the most fun I've had so far has been jumping around between my Gemini Turrets and the Rock Cracker thingies on Engi and just constantly keeping everything at full. So so glad that Rival Presence has set the precedent that previous season's events won't be gone cause I love meteor cracking. Also the stuff inside the meteor are wonderfully icky.

Thanks for the overview! I was hoping to find a rundown of all the new stuff :)

Fantastic overview video, man! Great content as always!

aaay good job getting this out right on time! throroughly enjoyed watching

An infection themed season is actually so cool, way more interesting than robots

only thing left now is to rework drillers HE grenades, cuz now there is even less reason to use them

This is all the info I needed.

As someone who got the MegaCorp dlc specifically for the box-y frameworks, the new milspec is a blessing because they look great

1:48 THEY KNEW WHAT ROCKPOX ENEMIES GSG WILL ADD HOW DID THEY KNOW WOAHWOWOH

i hope the rest of the enemies can get affected in season 4, or later on during season 3. would be cool af.

I love how the biohazard mask no filter variant assumes the beard is enough of an (h)air filter to breathe cleanly.

The way the infected praetorians work seems so cool

I absolutely adore all the meteor events. They're quick, change terrain, affect you and enemies, have combination of building and fighting, make you move and panic a bit. It's AWESOME.

New season looks awesome. Just watched the premier of the release trailer, and I'm pumped!

I could not wait for you to upload something related to Season 3's launch. I'll have to wait til the 17th since I'm on PS5, but I appreciate the coverage greatly. Rock and Stone Brother.

Awesome stuff man, great summary and well thought out opinions.

Thanks for going over this. I was a little confused how to deal with with the pox

Still can’t believe that not only did we get a few new shouts for cave leeches, but also the quotes I suggested made it in

11:56 Millspec + Deepcore is a really nice combo.

This dude sounds more like an actual working dwarf talking about the hazards he has encountered along the way.

When cleaning the lithophage spikes in solo mode - bosco can/will vacuum up any foam you place. Although he prioritizes fighting, so sometimes its annoying when he wont just vacuum up the last bit.

Love the new grenades. You weren't kidding about the Engineer's shredder swarm, those are extremely handy because they can seek out enemies anywhere. Great for swarms

I was waiting for this

I once had a tiny patch of the rock pox blisters spawn in a tunnel I hadn’t been through yet. I spent around 20 minutes trying to find it.

When i heard in the background the music from Grindstone i was like that's familiar and nice to listen to! I see you are a man of culture as well 🔥

Honestly one of my favorite changes this season was the buffs to the scouts weapons. the GK2 got some great buffs that put the gun in a much better place and give it some more build variety and some of the scout OCs that were pretty bad before (supercooling chamber, gas recycling, electrifying reload) got buffed. if you haven't tinkered with your scout builds recently now its a great time to try some new stuff out.

it just gets better and better

Great breakdown. ROCK AND STONE!

Really impressed with the cosmetic tree this season. I love the weapon frameworks, and all the dwarf cosmetics I really want to have. Definitely their best one so far

I love how he uses music from grindstone (one of my fav games) when talking about another of my fav games

Bosco can also be used to hoover up the foamed rockpox blisters if you are solo

I was so on board and then you mentioned the rival content changes and I nearly rocked and stoned in my trousers. I am so tired of rival presence missions being mandatory. They're fun, don't get me wrong, but they all just take so long. Reduced spawn rate for prospector and nemesis is fantastic, reduced hacking speed and bot health is FANTASTIC.

HELL YEAH! Edit: I love the grenades and new MC voicelines, along with all of the new stuff on the space rig

Congrats on your new job at the studio Sniss! Those toilets are cleaner then ever👌

0:48 ROCK AND STONE BROTHERS!!!

Great vid 👍 Rock and Stone Brothers!🍺

I am psyched to play plaguefall. I liked everything I've seen so far except the weapon frameworks but I guess we'll see. And the moment that dlc pack drops I'm going to throw money at it. As long as Ghost ship keeps putting out quality content ill keep throwing my cold hard earned cash at them

I did the spray vacuum mission during a morkite mining mission. It was a little difficult due to the giant horde of infected bugs that showed up just as I ran out of ammo. I ended up having to slay a bunch of loot bugs to get enough nitra to call down a resupply. Luckily it was a giant map and I kept running in wide circles until I was able to grab ammo. Very fun.

loving the warthog framework, looks like the conference call

We only have two months until the next season. This season went fast. Damn.

The SSG is just a portable version of Plasma Burster Hurricane. Change my mind.

having my drop pod include a nemesis who got an infected praetorian as companion is pretty fun (I definitely didn't die in the first 2 minutes)

I’m so exited to play the new deep rock galactic season on November 17

He's returned, the boy is back

Hell yeah update time! Even though I'm on console and will have to wait another 2-4 weeks for the update, it gives me time to get myself situated (I'm a Greenbeard who's done a little bit of research on this game) so here's to that! ROCK AND STONE!

The tools are badass we need more variety like that new types of missions not just a reskinned mission we already have

One thing not mentioned in this video is that the Lithophage Meteor event actually has two versions. The large one covered in the video and one where around half a dozen small meteor fragments strike the surrounding area. These small meteor fragments can be broken with 5 regular pickaxe strikes, and one of them is guaranteed to contain a plagueheart with the rest having an extremely small chance of containing one.

i love the foam anti lithophage gun because once ur done cleaning up you can use it to have squirt gun fights with ur fellow dwarfs. i wish to have squirt gun fights on the space rig during the next summer event

I've been having a lot of fun with this season so far, R&S!

I love this game so much… I hope they continue giving us amazing content like this

Going engie now and having two sentries, a swarm of tiny robo drones and a gun that basically shoots for you feels soo cool, especially when I'm solo and can add bosco to that.

"That was before the plague hit." - Jerma985, 5 years before the plague hit

Rock and stone, brother!

The season reminds me of the flood checkpoint in the Halo 3 mission, The Covenant

Looks like I'll be listening to the Phazon Radiation/Phaaze theme when I get my chance to play this

my favorite aesthetic thing about the new season is the escaped virus on the second floor just around the corner from the gravity shutoff button

"these meteors contain a lithophage which bores into rock and stone" ok well played Sniss, well played.

BABE WAKE UP, NEW SNISS VIDEO

Can't wait to play this on my PS5 soon!

You can have multiple meteorites per mission. I was solo pumping the liquid morkite yesterday in Azure. The first metoerite impacted during setting of the lanes and the second impacted during last few percentages. One gunner joined me later after the first cracking, before the second meteorite. We was confused by it for moment. But we stoped repairing the lines, we cracked the second one and finished the mission. We got 6 hearts total, 3 from both. Now i wonder how many meteorites can impact during one mission ...

Yaayyyyyyyy sniiiissssss

I love my little shredder buddies, I can't leave this grenade in the rig. I just love watching em go

A small thing you forgot to mention about the Driller's grenades is that they changed the HE grenades so you can cook 'em before you throw 'em, effectively shortening the fuse. Between the 6 grenades and the more reliable fuse, I actually like them now (speaking as someone who tried HEs before the changes)

The Tactical Sprinkler might be my favorite of the four new grenades

One day they'll add food to the abyss bar. None of them will give buffs, just goofy lines and animations.

I'm excited about this new season ngl

Note: the SSG is very good against lithopage swarms. The circling attacks it does usually pop all the blisters, so you can just sit back and be cautious while letting the drones clear everything. Me and my friends all ran these on a 3 spike, haz 5 misson, and even with haz 5 3 player scaling, the drones handled these enemies with little to no effort. Very fun

shredders as a grenade now is a fantastic touch! Imagine if they take a little bit of tech/theme from each previous season to benefit the arsenal of the next? that would be a great addition!

I'm definitely excited for this. This new season and Darktide will certainly fulfill my desire to kill hoards of infected things.

Hyped for new season

You know how there are radiated exploders? My friend thought that there should be a nuclear detonator I think that's awesome

"like a Gary's Mod Deathrun trap" This. . . This was an amazing analogy.

The cosmetic pack is my favorite part I like feeling like a hazmat unit sent in to clean a biohazard
