Also a note about Patrol Bots: if you don't hack them fast enough they reboot and become hostile again.

The idea of them removing events worries me. The game really needs more variety. I think they should keep them in and stack them up, so missions can be more unpredictable.

It looks so good! I wonder if "The Rivals" are space elves. Of course they're far to up themselves to get dirt under their fingernails, so they'd send robots.

Fun fact, the batteries for the Caretaker's forcefield are reused explosives from the Tritilyte machine event. You can pick them up once they pop out and toss them at your fellow Dwarves to kill them. Or... at bugs, I guess. Also, this mission has one of my favorite voicelines in the entire game. When you ping the Caretaker forcefield, your Dwarf can say, "Guys! Maybe we can take out the forcefield by laser pointering it!" or something like that. I just love this funny little mission.

“An unknown, freaky robot fleet, that collects data. it’s kinda like space Facebook.” I died XD

My favorite part of sabo is the Caretaker. My first mission was a haz 5 success with a team if very skilled players, but we all had our time to shine. Engineer using plaforms to cover slippery ice, driller making a nook for resup pods durring the fight, gunner uhhh carrying, and scout being the highest level and experienced player on the team. This mission type forces lost of creativity out of the player that others really cant. It fully embraces what makes drg great and I think its probably the best mission type to date, at least what I've seen so far. The caretake is a great boss with some cool mechanics and fun to dodge attacks, and the sound design is absolutely off the charts.

The removing of events and such I don’t know how I feel about it. But I get they’re starting to add more lore and story to the universe of DRG. So I’m guessing at the end of season one we scare away this company or something

The first time I did an industrial sabotage mission was probably one of the most intense and stressful things I’ve ever experienced. Our entire team came super close to all going down a number of times. At one point our scout was desperately tunneling in the ceiling above the caretaker in an attempt to take out some sniper turrets, only to fall all the way down with very little health, revive me, only for me to realize I had no ammo left at all and no nitra to call a supply pod. We spent so long barely clinging on to life, repeatedly reviving each other and running around with only our pickaxes and support tools to defend us. In the end I just ran up and started taking out the arms with my pick, and then our scout took out the main body with the last few shots left in his rifle. We became something more than coworkers that day. We truly were brothers. We bled together, we fought together. And against all odds we made it back alive. No dwarf left behind. Rock and stone!

Can't wait to be a hipster about this channel

Just like to note: All robots are instantly destroyed if you can manage to set them on fire as it fries their circuits. So using the gunner's missile launcher with the fire mod can destroy sniper turrets in about 3 or 4 missiles for example.

2:12 can't believe he missed the Error Cube there. Also Space Facebook? Don't you mean SPACEBOOK?

The caretaker fight is pretty good, however I think each of the DRG boss fights need more internalized random factors implemented. Revamping elimination with two new Dreadnought types was a good first step, but GSG should go farther. Some region-based variants would be good, and possibly considering buffing like one attack per mission in a unique way. Same for the Omoran Heartstone and Caretaker.

Had a cool incident to deal with once, a Bulk Detonator blew up in the exact center of our node chain mid hack. I had to go through and reposition the nodes to connect them again, pretty fun dynamic problem we had to work around.

My favorite part it a voice line for killing a partol bot. Never in my life did I thing I would hear a dwarf yell "Die Ballsack!"

I'm saying now the rival are the elves

Fighting a caretaker solo is of the most stressful experiences I've ever had in a video game. But it was so satisfying to win. I also totally agree that Escort missions need an update, especially adding more random stuff to the Heartstone fight. As it stands, every Escort mission is exactly the same.

Everything kinda looks magitech with the rival company and that kinda makes me think these are elven to an extent you know, cause dwarves hate elves

It's really hard to pinpoint what I like most about Update 35 as a whole. GSG really cranked it up to eleven this time and I'm really happy they did. I'm not the most veteran miner yet, around 250 hours of gametime so far, but there was a while where I took a break from DRG because U35 was taking a while. It really ended up being worth the wait. Anything that adds more things to do on a daily basis is a wonderful thing for me - that is to say, I really like the little daily objectives. They're nothing crazy, but I prefer to have the game point me in a general direction and say "hey, go do this and I'll give you candy" because I'm a little baby sometimes. Anyways. I really like the update. I'm a tried and tested Gunner main and the new Hurricane launcher is so much fun. I think that's my favorite part.

Wake up babe new sniss just dropped

Awesome video as per usual! Definitely gonna show a friend parts of this video so they have at least a straw to grab onto while we play it for their first time!

This shit looks so fucken sick I'm gonna have to start playing it again as I've not touched it probably for a couple years now as I had bought it way early on. I love to see the game is still going strong and coming out with content like this!!

Im actually really happy to see that they integrated the old secondary objectives added in Season 1 into Season 2

Love the stylized season one logo

I can still remember how much my first run of this mission sucked at the end, since we didn’t save up enough nitra for a clean fight. It was still fun, and we still managed to grab that data rack and get the hell out of there

i really hope they dont remove the mission or the events, DRG NEEDS more content and removing it even for "lore reasons" would really hamper the game and it's playerbase, making them less common would be a better idea, or even making Industrial Sabatoge something like Deep Dives, where they're a row of missions we work up to FIGHTING the caretaker, more like a raid that it's mimicing

Awesome video I love your style and the new triangle bois are super fun to fight!

I like the teleporting bombs in the caretaker fight because FTL. Also I think that's what killed me in my first sabotage during experimental *_SCRIPPLEH SCRIP_*

LETS GO! Just subscribed yesterday and he already made a video!

I think they should add more specific abilities to the caretaker, so on every mission you get 2 of them randomized. For ex, a focused laser beam instead of the teleport bomb, or summons shock towers, etc. Also it might be "the one gets destroyed 1st..." so destroying a power suppy in a certain order could enhance or disable one caretaker ability. Hope to see much more fun things in season 2. EDIT: Btw when does season 1 ends?

My favourite part of the carretaker is its alarm sound when ir opens its eyes, its so intimidating

I like your videos, they have a comfy atmosphere, i missed that there was 2 new machine events and didn't get the prospector yet :

"Space Facebook" - that earnt my Sub alone and a ROCK & STONE!

Neat video as always!

Such a cool and underrated Channel

Great video as always.

It's always a good day when Sniss releases a new video!

Your outro gives me chills.

Facebook joke in the end was brilliant

I just bought this game and am so psyched that a new gamemode was added the same day.

Great vid! Keep it up!

I’m calling it right now: It’s goblins. Goblins are the ones sending the robots.

Just wanted to give you like and sub cause love how you explain deep rock love it

was litteraly checking your channel to see if you hadn't uploaded today lol

Cool video. Thank you.

I think it would be interesting if the robots become isolated to certain parts of the map every month. That way things become more frequent, but it feels like we're scaring the rivals away.

I think the one issue I have with the Caretaker bossfight is that it’s somewhat overwhelming. It always feels like I’m being attacked by 10 different types of things at once (even though it’s “only” 4 or 5), and things happening so fast that there’s no reasonable way to predict and dodge individual attacks. I just need to essentially never stop moving, and do damage to anything whenever you can. It’s like the OMEN turret (the machine event with the spinning tower), where I kind of need to constantly jump around to minimize damage taken, but I cant react fast enough to avoid the 3 simultaneous attack methods. I’m sure I’ll get better as I do the mission more, but from what I’ve played it feels a bit overly chaotic.

Dude I just saw that this and last videos thumbnails are like “linked” if that makes sense and that made me smile

Damn robots.

Sneezy needs some love too, awesome video

I recently started bringing neurotoxin grenades to industrial sabotages when playing driller, cause I've found theyre surprisingly effective against the robots. The toxins dont do anything to the bots of course, but point a flame at the cloud and any robots inside are done, very handy.

crackpot theory, the special events will be more infrequent, but completing them will give you one of the event cosmetics, kinda like how lost packs and cargo crates give cosmetics why it's probably not going to happen: because as time goes on and more seasons are added, the pool of special events will just spiral out of control and it'd take ages to get an event for the specific season you want a cosmetic in, which was a problem i saw a dev mention in a reddit post once

Officially calling the rivals Spacebook now. ;p

My favorite DRG content channel!

I hope they keep the new events, prospectors are a fun variant on the loot enemy and hacking the server things is a fun way to spice up a cave.

just got into this game as a playstation plus game last month and it is such a welcomed change of pace from what i typically play.

"Can you call them 'higher-ups' if they're short"? Yes, that's why they stay high up on the surface, while you go deep, deep into the mines.

The hardest part is trying to deal with a shredder with the Hurricane unless you use the overclock that let's you hold rockets up to 9

A tip for fighting Prospectors: Hyper Propellant on the GL is straight busted. I'm not sure if HP scales on these things with player count, but with the right build you can potentially one-shot through a Prospector's phases. If you can keep up with it after it runs it'll be dead within 30 seconds.

Ghost Ship is making me excited for what they’ve got up their sleeves with the season system

I've skipped this video for about a week now. But I'm glad I watched it

YES YES ANOTHER SNISS VIDEO, FUNNY DWARF WILL BE PLEASED

This might be my favorite mission type yet and that's because of the Caretaker. It's a really fun and challenging boss fight. The half a dozen times or so I've finished it our entire team was in a panic, scrambling and getting downed left and right. I like the idea of cover being very useful against sniper turrets and the tentacles, which makes the driller a very nice class to have so he can create safety tunnels and shortcuts to more favorable positions. In the base game I always felt like the full power of his drilling was not super exciting and it was mostly used for bunkers or small shortcuts here and there. My only gripe with this mission is the time it takes to complete and while it's not important, the exp and credits rewards are not that high. The hardest part is the caretaker and that's at the end. By the time you get there you'd have spent 25~ minutes or perhaps more hacking open the 2 data vaults. Usually the entire ordeal takes around 40 minutes and if that results in a loss it's pretty disheartening. But that's a risk every GAMER DWARF that chooses to play on haz5 deals with and not a fault with the game.

The good old map brings back so many memories from my childhood

My pet theory is that the rivals are elves and the robots are their advanced elvish technology

I really hope they dont remove the prospector drone or the hackable data station thingy after the season ends. Those are the kinds of things that make you want to explore caves and makes things less repetative.

This is legit mvm but with short big beard man

If youre a driller and drill above the triangle during the bosses shield phase, you can instantly skip that phase by double dropping c4 on the center of the boss.

I hope they don't remove any of the seasonal content. That sets a really nasty precedent.

We can now have bugs and robots! Bosco: Am I a joke to you!?

Badass

Note: Bots don't like heat. If you hit max heat on a bot and ignite them, they explode instantly. A gunner or driller should go with a heat build and they should focus on the tentacles and other adds. I use a max-heat build with face melter on driller and it lets you wreck both bugs and bots.

These "Rivals" are nothing but leaf lovers. Rock and stone forever.

Very vidoe! Job good

I just noticed how the thumbnail for this vid and the New Weapons vid line up ery noice

my deep rock crew always call our new robo steve "stove" best name

I don’t really like the removal of season events, but with the sabotage mission I hope that it becomes either just a mission type that appears every now and then, a special event on missions (like BET-C or OMEN), or there is special assignments you can do that have sabotage missions in them. However, I do hope that if the assignment part is correct, it isn’t a weekly assignment, because that would suck only being able to play the mission once a week.

If you’re ever curious about other sorts of Caretakers, feel free to Search up, Wildstar Flick: The Caretaker, and enjoy the voice of Sheoforath voicing a beloved damaged Data managing AI. Also, pretty new to DRG myself, with the last few days actually, and I gotta say the Sabotage missions are quite the fun affair to go through. Never imagined trying to do it solo tho.

bob needs to be the name of the hacked patrol bot! STEEVE N BOB!

I also hope this story with a rival faction evolves over the seasons

The rivals stick around the site they mine using their robots. Meanwhile DRG Launch, mine, and extract in a few minutes.

>Can you call them higher ups if they’re very short? Of course you can- you’re going underground every time you’re on a mission.

New vid let's goooooo

It’s like spacebook!

if you go to your page on youtube the two most recent videos line up so perfectly and its very satisfactory

I always like to think that the rival were sent by space elves to scout ot hoxxes IV maybe that's too classic fantasy but a rivalry between dwarfs and elves would be pretty fun

You can also pick up the batteries and throw them, they do some fairly good damage against the care taker.

It's the elves. Soon we will be fighting teams of Elvin attackers that mirror our own class and fight us to take over. Nahh I don't think so but it's fun to think about.

This mission is a great challenge, and is insanely satisfying to complete on higher difficulties. The Caretaker fight is brutal, but fair, so defeating it always feels excellent

"except for sneezy" I fully expected you to just "step 1: sneeze *ACHOOO*"

Probably one of the hardest things I’ve done in the games. I’ve played for a pretty long time, since the overclock update. I think it was mix of unknown content and bad teammates but that shit was tough.

Yes I do like giant death robots with glowy parts.

The beer of deep rock galactic

Running in a circle against the caretaker is a pretty good strategy. Its something that always works for some reason

nice video lad are you excited for what future season might be? I already am

also the cables can go throo solid wall... yesterday i had one go throo 25m of wall to completly cutoff cave segment....

Ain't no way some fancy bots are taking Hoxxes from us! Rock n'Stone ⛏️

Nice video, you considering reviewing the new season pass cosmetics for the next one?

It's interesting to think about what will become of the new random encounters after the season is over. I can easily imagine the prospector being a similar thing to what it is now but with the intent changed. Instead of "Go kill that thing to stop the rival from hitting our turf" it's "This rogue prospector must have been around for a while, go kill it and see what valuable mineral data it's gathered" I'd be bummed to see the random hacking pod go though. Sculpting the terrain to fit your needs is one of my favorite elements of the game, and seeing one of them pop up in an otherwise quite linear and non-infrastructure intensive mission like a mining mission is a nice surprise.

PSA To All Dwarves: Do NOT Die on top of the caretaker, your body will begin to rotate with the caretaker and become impossible to revive until the fight concludes or an Engi scrapes your body off with a platform gun.

You better have went back for that error cube at 2:12 lolo
