To hammer home on the last bit, I recall a great moment when I was a Greenbeard Driller in Glacial Strata. Standard run of the mill Morkite Mining Haz 3, until that is when we encountered a Tritilyte Crystal Core Event. I've done enough of this specific one to count on one hand, so I knew the gist but wasn't exactly confident yet on my capabilities, nonetheless, everyone prepped up and started it. 30 seconds into the event and the Bomb Pod was nowhere to be found, it didn't spawn inside the cave with us! We thought it was bugged and thus a lost cause, until I opened my Terrain Scanner and noticed that above us was another cave system and the Bomb Pod had landed there, with roughly 10m-20m of ice between us. In the heat of the moment and time ticking down, I whipped out the trusty Convenience Cones and drilled my way into the cave above. Once I'd made it, there was roughly under a minute left for me to drill the Pod directly below... Then I realized, "wait?... Can't I just blow the floor open?" Two rushed C4s and a giant blown crater in the ceiling, letting the Pod fall directly next to the Crystal for easy access to toss bombs onto it. This is the first time a shooter has genuinely made me get creative with the map design like this, and I wouldn't have it any other way. These are the kind of moments that makes DRG one of a kind.
@DrillingInTheNameOf3 жыл бұрын
Exactly! That's what it's all about! I'll admit I was a little frustrated at the lack of direction in the beginning, but the way the developers kind of let you be makes it so much more rewarding when you start discovering things yourself. It really lets you play the game in a way that suits your own play style rather than just how you're told to play. Rock and Stone!

@@DrillingInTheNameOf Exactly, I agree wholeheartedly. DRG's Greenbeard experience can be somewhat lackluster, but man it is great once you get over that first hurdle. If there is any one criticism for the game though, the Matrix Core Progression ought to be elaborated upon a bit more and maybe even introduced earlier for the newbies. RnS

I have a minibunk strategy where I drill in to just under overheat, then do a 90 degree short jog to give me a corner to duck behind, then I run back to the entrance and sticky flames the ceiling, both walls, a d floor in a ring. Kills anything short of a praetoria, goo bomber, or oppressor, and the first two can be handled witb impact axes. If you get in trouble you ring of fire the tunnel and dig deeper. If a bulk or oppressor shows up you dig out and leave some c4 to help them think about what they did wrong

“Just try to explain what you’re trying to do” This. As an engie player it’s great to know what the driller’s plan is when he goes bunker mode, so I can slap some platforms where he needs them. Because sometimes drillers make some crazy sh^t with C4 and it’s like “wtf am I supposed to do here??” Had a driller just today that made a small cavern with like 20 C4 like you had near the end, but… a lot more chaotic. Worked out in the end but that was a very confusing salvage mission..

Most of the bunkers ive seen were deep and small with a single exit, as the driller wanted the safety without ANY work. Needless to say bulks usually break them. In fact, had a clutch because i heard the bulk coming and dashed out of the bunker. So all i ask is that if you bunker, take the time to do it right.

This reminded me of that one time where we made a hole with the uplink in it, covered the top with platforms and then an opressor showed up and busted through the roof. Out of panic our engineer fired a fat boy nuke into the crater of the uplink. All of us were screaming and shooting trying not to die. We had fun and survived.

I now realise my first encounter with the under bunkie was just a bad one the driller didn't communicate with the team and just dug down the uplink there was a crack in the wall from a nearby meteor, the hole in the ceiling probably wasn't covered properly and I now know that he made the entrance tunnel too short so now we had 3 points where we couldn't see the bugs until they were inside the the bunkie in summary: bunkies are great, some are just badly constructed

I dig the objectives into the ground about 9m then drill another 9m horizontally. Then I go back to the objective and use some Jeep stuff to make a round room, ducking into my horizontal alcove for the detonation. I then have the engie seal the hole I made drilling down, sealing the area from all bugs. Someone usually gets impatient and opens a hole to the surface, thus creating a fatal funnel... I do it this way because if the choice is drill a whole room out, or drill two lines and blow some Jeep stuff, I'm gonna save my drill fuel for melee combat.

@@DrillingInTheNameOf I've always done bunkers as well as ''emergency'' bunkers. Tho never had I seen this concept. I'm giving it a shot and I see a lot of positives BUT there are still two downsides I'm noticing. Spiders for some reason target the people on the surface more than whoever is in the bunker. And also if a detonator comes - normally there'd be time to react (as I'd make my bunkers deep and have the black box inside it, the engineer would cover the roof) u'd have time to hear and even see the detonator slowly carve its way to you giving you ample time to escape. I fear that due to the roof being so small here unless you got a gunner or scout out there (which again, would be tanking all the spiders in my games so far from what I'm seeing) who could ping you that there's a detonator - it probs wouldn't even have to carve more than once and the entire team's blown up.
