Wow, so driller can take down laser spikes *and* nullify rocks by himself with only a little fuel? Rock and Stone!

Holy shit you can drill spitballer bullets?!

@@vbgvbg1133 was in the vid 😂 blew my mind too

Wow, thats great to know

Driller can parry stuff?

came back to say this after blowing myself up lol

I use that upgrade, hasn’t gone south yet except for an unfortunate scout...

just don't use volatile compound, so many things blow it up that it's more useful for mining than blowing up bugs even more so if you have a 4 member team.

I like all the classes, but I can't help myself from playing driller all the time. He's just got so much fun utility

dont discount the fun of the flamethrower, regular pistol, and other nade stuff. this video is more applicable when you are pushing the limits of what the hardest you can handle is. lower difficulties can still be enjoyable, especially when drunk, and let.you play around more

@@scout360pyroz The Cryo + Axe combo goes better with my favourite playstyle of immobilising enemies completely and finishing them off while they can't do anything. So naturally I enjoy cryo more than flame. Also, epc mining is way more enjoyable to me than regular pistols. Already uploaded like 4 Elite Deep Dives on my channel using this combo.

@@claudealpha2090 cryo also brings down big enemies faster when your team is on point with concentrating heavy damage manuvers. I like fire, and I like mining like a dwarf lol. My playstyle is more relaxed than this guys, though I can do hazard fives. Never really had a problem with needing ti mine that fast and I enjoy looking at the maps, so it seems a little too fast for me to use the plasma gun. I usually run around on 4s with a friend and randoms, and that lets me deal with any inadequacies. If I want to coast around on easy mode and have fun, I get drunk, encourage the other players to do the same, and we go on hazard 3. Like Karl would.

I'd say making sure your scout is always pushing objectives would help since the scout can help more on that front that shooting enemies

Honestly, people don't talk enough about how hazard 4 and 5, especially on point extraction, will demand that you be able to juggle combat and the objective.

That’s not a bad thing. This game may be a shooter but it’s also an atmospheric roleplaying experience so if you enjoy it, go for it

You can also throw an axe at the base of them (can be fiddly and take a few tries) to kill them without any digging, and even pick the axe back up

@@roguereaver634 Oh wow. It's unfortunate I'm trying to promote every class first, or I'd try that sooner. Thanks!

Taking out the terrain around the base works, but you can pick at the wood log part with the 'needle' sticking out. Though this is the intended way, it doesn't really work a lot of times. I don't know what causes it, but the hitbox can be inconsitent. Sometimes you hit at the base and it's like swinging your pick in the air. No hit sound, no damage done. Just pick it once, and if it doesnt work clear out the terrain around it :)

Fragile interacts with H5 Scaling in a funny way, due to the damage resistance it leaves grunts at around 3 hp, making vampire extremely easy to use. And yeah i agree that the wording of fragile is misleading. Makes you think that "low health" is relative to how much health the enemy has, not how healthy they are to begin with.

Welcome aboard miner! Happy to have you

Thanks man, should be back to post some new stuff pretty soon, so stay tuned!

Expanded Bag is very useful because more often than not I find myself lacking that extra 5-10 Nitra to call in a Supply Pod, and that's a difference between success and failure especially in EDD. Veteran Depositor is useful in some cases but the issue I have is that you're forced to be almost stationary to get the damage buff, and in EDD it is optimal to kite enemies instead of tanking the damage. TLDR; if you kite, then Veteran Depositor is almost useless. Thorns is a good all-rounder passive skill especially for Driller, but I personally replace this depending on the environment (ex: Fungus Bogs) like Unstoppable (if I'm not using Dash) or Elemental Shield on Magma (Driller's 50% fire resistance + 30% elemental resistance = little fire damage). As for Heighten Senses, I typically bring it mainly because I don't want to drag down my teammates whenever something disables me due to my own lack of awareness. Sometimes them rescuing you spells doom to the whole mission. If you're Solo and you get caught, Bosco can help out but it's slow and a bit unreliable especially if it's far away from you.

@ me

In higher difficulties the main concern is how much damage you can rapidly take before dying. In theory yes, 5 points of recharging shield is better the just 20 more capacity for health. However in practice your shield rarely has time to recharge in a fight or bad situation, so have 15 extra health/shield overall is superior.

Increasing the charge shot radius does not afffect TCF blasts. No mods on the weapon are able to effect it, just does 240 fire damage flat

Hell yea. Personally I can't stand the Subata. I use the epc load out shown here with the Cryo cannon, and with the flamethrower I use the T5 heat up mod with the heavy hitter overclock to proc fire on enemies with the EPC in 2-3 hits, roughly 5 for large enemies

they default hotkeys 1-4 are good, but if you have extra buttons on your mouse that's what i would recommend. Overall going from scroll swapping to hotkey swapping is the biggest personal skill progression imo

Nah. Weakpoint shots don't do more damage when they're frozen.

That's how it went for me. This is the way

6 is on the side of my mouse yes, that would be strange for sure

Hey if the builds you run work for you then by all means stick with em, this is far from the only setup that works. With enough practice and skill you can play Haz 5 with random or even no upgrades.

@@AxisKronos well tbh my build was pretty much same with yours. I was just joking with your player level lol

@@AxisKronos well said. I prefer flamer and stock pistol myself, but I do different tactics and dont play solo as much. Sure I gotta be better at keeping my distance and have less room for errors, but its so much fun.

Not entirely but it might help a bit with the mining

Insanely great idea

he made a video about that

Press X button.

Flamethrower can be a great damage over time with sticky additive but cryo overshadows quite a bit.

Sticky Additive is great on Flamethrower but it has less ammo, and in higher difficulties you'd rather want your enemies to be dead asap than wait for them to die out via DPS. Sometimes I use Flamethrower on Glacial Strata for that extra damage VS monsters there, but Cryo Cannon is still better in most cases.

of course. put sticky and slow on it and take some more ammo. your job is to crowd control and slow/DOT large groups of enemies OR big fellas you want to keep in place. A line/pool of sticky fire in the right spot will completely shut down swarms of lesser enemies. The slow effect may keep that bulk detonator from getting too close to the downed party member being revived during an opening in a tough swarm of enemies.

Absolutely! Flamethrower is one of the best weapons in the game. Cryo is a very different playstyle that CAN do a ton of damage when practiced and mastered, flame is slightly less, but still massively impactful.
