EDD Deathless Speedrun SOLO W/Snowball + Gamma Contamination | Deep Rock Galactic

[@phat-Rat]

I can confidently say that this EDD is one of the hardest I've seen in a while. Stage 2 had everybody struggling this week. So, I decided to use an unconventional build/playstyle to make this run interesting.

joo, very nice! another run

[@dankluck8077]

well done this week, especially on that brutal stage 2. why do you rarely ever destroy brood nexus? i see your videos and it seems that very often you decide to not destroy them and im curious as to why

[@phat-Rat]

Stage 2 was horrifying this week. And about the brood nexus... with this build, I didn't want to waste any ammo dealing with em. I couldn't really kill them instantly without wasting impact axes. In some situations, it's necessary. In others, I just see it as a waste of time. It's situational for me. They don't spawn enough swarmers to be considered a lethal threat to me.

@@phat-Rat thanks for the insight!!

I didn't know you could gtfo early by stuffing yourselves into the molly compartment.

[@3delweiss]

the faster mining you're doing is just letting go of right click in the exact rigt moment?

[@phat-Rat]

Yep that's it!

[@MuffinStuffer_TV]

How did you know where you were going constantly?

[@phat-Rat]

Deathless speed runs for me usually take 2-3 attempts. But I also run it beforehand to know where the objectives are.

[@nickmclean4004]

Did you find the rad procs to be of value?

[@phat-Rat]

I did. In particular situations. Almost every enemy that got tempshocked got hit with the gamma DOT right after. Also, it's kinda nice tagging a spitter and then moving on knowing it's gonna die. It's free chip damage. You can also use barbed drills combined with the gamma on enemies to finish em off. I only used it for the fun factor. I can't say it's necessarily a "good" pick. But it's definitely fun. I guess you could use my video to decide for yourself. I think it's definitely viable for speedplay if that counts for anything.

@@phat-Rat I appreciate it man! I'm a huge fan of chip dmg- I usually run Sticky Flames or Neurotoxin A/C lol But I started looking into Blistering Necrosis, and suddenly questioned if the burst dmg could be more useful. What's your take on the two OCs?

[@Arzedra]

is your grenades set to scroll? how do you chuck em so fast?

[@phat-Rat]

I hit g+left alt really fast. I've practiced it a TON.

[@dinosaurkin5093]

[@phat-Rat]

Is there someone other than me with the same name in the discord?
