MELEE ONLY DREADNOUGHTS | DEEP ROCK GALACTIC

Come with me on a journey if you will, a journey of theoretical sympathy. Imagine if you will, you are a god of the domain you are blessed to inhabit. Imagine you are the top of the food chain, yet burdened with the insurmountable weight of protecting and providing for your people. Imagine that even in the most hostile environments of the purgatory that you and your kin call home, through your strength your people are able to not only survive, but prosper. Imagine that weathering fire, ice, drought, blight, invasion, and radiolaria, you have survived. You are a dreadnought, you have lived a thousand years, sired an entire generation and conquered untold millions of miles of land. You just got beaten to death with a stick by a one-eyed goon blitzed off half a rock of fent who then flossed on your dead body lmao get shid on.

Steeve may be pretty useful in this challenge, technically he can only deal melee damage so it does not invalid the challenge and he can draw aggro from yourself too.

That’s a good point, he would probably get destroyed by hive and OGs slams, worth trying though!

[@zytronant7619]

Another reason why Hive Guard is really annoying is when the projectiles hit even though you dodged them or the aoe of the projectile landing is too big to get away from while full sprinting. This could be a skill issue or I need to stop joining games with 200 ping.

[@symonalex2152]

I get what you're saying and it's because of high ping, when I used to join far away lobbies hive guard's projectiles attacks were lethal to me, no matter how well i dodge them they still get me somehow, but when i host or solo play I never took damage from them.

[@TheLuckyTeletuby]

[@ethoatom668]

My friends and I had to do this with a normal Dread and a Hiveguard simultaneously. We were on a 3 cocoon mission and thought it'd be hilarious if we popped all three simultaneously. So we did that and got two normal dreads and a hiveguard. We took out the first Dread with no problem, but the builds we took were pretty ammo-inefficient, and we were running low by the time we were partway through the second Dread. Another thing was that this map had almost no Nitra; it was kind of insane how little there was, so we ran out of what resupplies we had by that point. By that point, we realized we fucked up, and we were basically out of ammo. Half of us were desperately scrounging for Nitra while the other half was taking on the second Dread and trying to dodge the Hiveguard's volleys. We reached the point where we had 79 NITRA and one of my friends thought he had found the final piece... but it was only 0.2... So, realizing that we have no choice but to use our pickaxes, we take out the second Dread and go through the agonizing process of fighting a practically full-health Hiveguard with melee only and dying over and over because it was Haz 5, and we constantly had like 5 health. We SOMEHOW managed to do it. It was one of our greatest Deep Rock moments, but we were all kind of burnt out after that.

[@sal1764]

Legends said that Karl using nothing but only his pickaxe. Karl would indeed be proud.

[@leventegal1622]

Holy, congratulations. I thought you would say the toughest challange would be the arbalest because its constantly on the cieling and has the fireball shotgun on lock but at least now I learnt something new about the hiveguard as well. 8:58 SLAP

[@SnydeX9]

Appreciate you doing secondaries, optional objectives and even getting minerals. Too many "challenge runs" out there doing the bare minimum.

[@AxisKronos]

Objectively I don’t think it’s wrong to skip stuff in challenge settings, it doesn’t invalidate the win so to speak, but if someone can win and do all the fluff, it shows me that they’re better than if they just scrape by.

[@mareksuchomel6243]

I had no idea how the Hiveguard surprise bite attack actually worked. Thanks to you, now I know how/when it happens. So thanks and congrats on an incredible run!

[@kanegito]

karl would be proud

[@goglergay]

lore accurate Karl

[@nanopi]

All that kiting and only power attack reminds me of when physics got completely broken and could not interact with anything. When out of ammo, and needing to take an ammo from the resupply, the mouse had to be perfectly still on a pixel, the player had to also be perfectly still, so only the calm between clearing all the bugs and the next wave is there a few chances for holding E to take the ammo to completely fill up the progress bar. That failed way too much. If this glitch still exists, the only way into the drop pod is to walk from terrain onto the ramp and then from the ramp to the exit zone.

[@w1q2e3r4t5]

I've thought about doing this for a while with slayer stout,. Very cool to see it being done.

[@AxisKronos]

Slayer would still be a lot slower and way harder, if you could manage that would be dope. definitely lmk if you pull it off!

POV AxisKronos on his way to become Karl:

[@bast4rdlyreaper]

The lack of the vampire perk, is concerning.

[@emrebaskocak]

I thought the Hiveguard's standing still phase was a bug, I had no idea it had a chomp attack if you got close!

[@jacksonlang6605]

The rock souls strength build

[@cyandoesthings]

vampire perk probably would have really helped against the swarm you fought later on

"Ambient bug pressure" sounds like some places I've worked.

For your consideration: mosquitoes killing you with chip damage

[@haxwithaxe]

@@AxisKronos I was thinking software bugs but that sounds familiar too :(

[@emresenkalfa6002]

omg a drg video ?!

[@MasterSonicKnight]

tbh, this just feels like a normal scout run but without bosco i've lost count of all the times i'd run out of ammo while playing as scout, and then i'd be forced to grapple all over the place while power atking stuff and letting bosco spend 1000 years to kill a single enemy, just to find out he was atking an opressor and ofc doing no damage because he doesn't know what a weakspot is. but hell, i wouldn't dare go near a dreadnough with no ammo (mostly because there's usually 999 enemies surrounding them when i'm the one playing lol)

[@qwp1884]

To me it's crazy that by the time you killed the hive guard and would be normally "practically done with the mission" I would've still been fighting the 2nd one, Im trying hard to get into speed play but this is crazy to me. Idk why but dreads are definitely my weakest mission and it always takes me so long to deal with them

[@Vladimir_Lootin1]

Very cool! Is there a method you used to make sure you get 3 unique dreadnoughts, like a specific seed, or was that just down to chance? I imagine the challenge would be a lot less interesting if you just avoided the hiveguard or twins

[@AxisKronos]

AFAIK there is no way to know/change which dread spawns. Even loading the same seed with sandbox mods you can get different dread sequences and sets. The only “rule” is that the same dread can’t spawn twice in a row. So in 3x you can get twin hive twin etc. So no just dumb luck on getting all three, but I’m glad I did!

also i def want to try this with special powder, that'd be neat as heck, maybe even with a couple friends on a lower diff? that sounds like a blast

Yes it’s the mod called “remove all particles except weapons and tools” or something like that, there’s a few versions so just search particle on mod io and you’ll be all good

[@crusader3198]

If we think 'bout it, the flare gun can deal some damage, i think a flare gun only run would be intresting Edit: i think pheromones should have been allowed, cuz the ebonites are constantly spawning, and only deal melee damage, and the grenade itseld deals none(sorry if someone said it already)

[@WinterAyars]

"...It would be dishonest to do this while taking a down... I saw that I was capable of doing this without taking a down." Hmm... Where have i heard that before... "i know your type. you're, uh, very determined, aren't you? you'll never give up, even if there's, uh... absolutely NO benefit to persevering whatsoever. if i can make that clear. no matter what, you'll just keep going. not out of any desire for good or evil... but just because you think you can. and because you 'can'... you 'have to'." Oh yeah :) If i tried this i would definitely bring skullcrusher and vampire on top of all this. For sure. I might keep See You In Hell over IW, though. Probably not Bosco otherwise i'd just be zipping around the cave and ignoring everything while it does the mission for me. Even SBB feels a little like cheating, but doing it on haz5 feels like it needs SOMETHING like that just to make it... possible? I'd skip an omen tower, no way am i doing that.

@@AxisKronos Personally I consider this cheating, no hate though just wondering how you feel about the discussion on this type of mod considering I see that you tackle your challenges with high regard for completing them as fairly as possible with little to no advantages. Id like to add as well, I’m not sure how consistently the scroll wheel gives you b-hops but If it’s 100% of the time as well then I can see little to no problem with this mod. I only ask though because I see you complete your challenges without utilizing advantageous mechanics.
