28:03 Why would you go with the T3 Temperature Amplifier mod over the Densification Ray on the Wave Cooker if you're using it with the Sludge Pump and not either of the flame thrower or cryocannon temperature primaries?

[@AxisKronos]

Was a mistake, left over from changing it from a flamethrower build to CSP. that’s what was used in the video, but not what you should use haha

As someone who mostly plays Driller this is a work of art. You make everything look so easy and every movement is on point. I play quite differently to you, mostly use DRG as a chill out game with friends on Haz 3 or 4 rather than "speed running" Haz 5 but I still learn a lot from your gameplay. Sludge Pump has quickly become my favourite weapon by far, it's so much fun to use, very powerful and extremely ammo efficient when used well

[@BigBroccoli_]

Yea I agree with the gameplay differences. I use DRG as my “chill” game. I mainly play solo since my friends don’t play it but I still find a haz 4 or 5 solo run to be pretty chill with just enough combat so I don’t get bored but I don’t run around like I’m on crack lmao

[@chriswebster839]

@@BigBroccoli_ how long did it take you to get to the point where haz 4/5 solo missions are chill? I've only just promoted my first dwarf and haz 4 missions seem just like a never-ending stream of enemies, still have yet to complete one solo.

[@BigBroccoli_]

@@chriswebster839 I started out the game by playing haz 4 so after like 20 hours of strictly playing haz 4 solos, they became familiar and chill. Granted, there are still definitely stressful situations in haz 4s lmao

[@Retrovoider]

@@chriswebster839 you just gotta lean into it. Start intertwining Haz 4 and 3 together to get used to the difference and work from there

[@Jenna_Talia]

​@@BigBroccoli_my experience so far has been that solo is very chill no matter what, the game won't throw many enemies your way but when it does you better pray you'll live.

Love that flex in the supply drop kill haha, really enjoyed seeing you use the whole arsenal, nice vid man, can’t wait to see the other classes.

[@theddrumdrummer6669]

The dodges BETWEEN the trijaw shots at 6:04 instead of just going under them did it for me haha

[@friedtomato7067]

if the trijaw is not very far above you, i have gotten hit by going under so I think he did the right thing there

[@icefiretv]

50 seconds in and I am in absolute awe at how smooth those maneuvers were. Barely 450 hours in, got a long way to go. Rock and stone you beautiful bastard!

[@jonathanwerner3664]

I've only seen the CRISPR part. So much information to observe. But I really likes this video. The lack of commentary forced me to pay attention to the video. It showed alot, but it alluded to a lot of rapid information processing, assessing threats, gauging ammo, using best expenditure with aims to travel the map efficiently. Playing driller for 60 or so hours, I now see the king that is sticky flames with patience. Great stuff man. Can't wait to watch the second half of this video tomorrow.

[@syrusalder7795]

sticky is definitely fun but its just as fun running max damage facemelter or just maximum possible ammo basic (x233x with compact feed valves)

[@doctorsnart6389]

I’m fairly certain that this is what all of DRG’s veteran roughnecks look like in action.

[@Baalielieseee]

Your gameplay..... its..... I'm imagining doomguy as a dwarve with a nice long beard and instead of the crucible, carrying a pickaxe.... and just.... "dig and mine until it is done" It's insane your playstyle! Always a pleasure to watch and I keep learning from you. Im working on second promotion for driller atm (on ps4). No preferences for me, all classes feel good in their own way. Rock and Stone!!

[@estusaddict6365]

You've perfectly put into words what i was feeling while watching this. Rock and Stone!

[@admirlm1062]

Isnt the ps4 game lagging as fuck? Im lagging mostly all the time

[@KeanuCheems]

I mean to me it just kinda looks like normal driller gameplay

[@lucaisgarden7005]

You jumped and launched the satchel in the air, to kill an elite. I'm a driller main and that was too awesome.

I've never thought to use drills for negating fall damage. I'll try that.

[@andresrosales3466]

Your multipurpose satchel uses are CHOICE. Driller was my least fav class for a while but they’ve recently become the one I reach for most often! Your flow and mechanical skill is a joy to watch and something I aspire to get close to someday. Can’t wait to see the videos for the other dwarves!

[@Carlos-km1xd]

At the end of the day, does driller ( with burn around him or freeze around him ) need thorn? I'm new to the game and I am unsure about it after watching your perk tierlist where you said it's not needed. This video is more recent tho and I see you using it, so I am confused. Advice pls :D

[@Mantelar]

I gotta say the C4 as a Mactera grenade is probably the biggest evidence of lots of driller missions.

[@Ionlikethat]

You don't understand how excited I was when I saw this cuz I'm a driller main.

[@inseldon1]

I´m new here so maybe this is a dumb question, but how did you get the first battry into the cargo crate at 7:15? You dropped the first battery in front of the wall (second one was in Bosco´s hands), then drilled through the wall, and suddenly there already is a battery in the crate when you arrive, and Bosco has the second?? o.O

[@EvilPineappl]

I noticed that too. I'm pretty sure I've never seen 3 batteries spawn, or one battery spawn in the crate. So I don't know how that happened

[@EvilPineappl]

nvm I see it, there's a cut. If you look at his drill ammo or the mission timer they change as he goes through the dirt

[@inseldon1]

@@EvilPineappl Ah thats it. Thanks.

[@ibasiclypwn]

this is insane dude. What OC's are you using for each?

[@slyllamademon2652]

If you ask me the subata needs a buff. Both alt secondaries outclass it due to the crowd control capability they have. Like they could just increase the max ammo for it.

[@StrangePudding_]

14:02 that was clean

[@romariogee]

This is fuc*** hypnotic

[@Balila_balbal_loki]

Ice spear overlock on cryo cannon, freeze petorian + ice spear = dead petorian also is handy as a ranged attack vs pretty much anything can't laugh at 1k damage on something frozen.

[@shitlordflytrap1078]

It's nice to see full-auto Subata being used.

[@the_dead_knight3]

[@deep3350]

looking to try and improve in DRG andi've been trying to find how he deposits his inventory so quick. i assumed he was just spam clicking really fast to deposit the ores but when I tried it just wont let me do it fast at all. any help?

[@fizzlock]

Spam click between deposit and your pickaxe; it can take some practice to do smoothly without interruptions, but not a lot once you can spam them back to back

[@kwamzu5577]

TOO SMOOTH. But I did learn something today. 😱

[@johnjohnson9321]

do u have fire on ur scroll wheel or something how do u spam fire the subata so fast

[@Biffguh]

0:34 hope you do a vid on what you're doing here looks interesting

[@finntheviking5579]

Just spamming jump, steep slopes are super janky in this game, if its not vertical, you can climb it.

[@skii_mask_]

@@finntheviking5579 adding to this, try climbing the window in the space rig. it'll work the same way. then that little slide and hop he does can be done off the window. I heard somebody (possibly AxisKronos?) call it a window slide because of that. you press forward while facing down the slope, then hitting jump launches you off horizontally. it's super fun!

[@Biffguh]

@@finntheviking5579 noted

[@finntheviking5579]

@@skii_mask_ yep, if you time it right, at the top of the window, a little slide and jump can land you on the catwalk next to the anti grav button.

is that an animation cancel on the deposit or something else. Trying to figure out what's going on there.

You should consider binding mousewheel up/down to a secondary jump so you can climb faster.

[@BlackWolfJa]

didn't know that was possible, does it give any kind of excessive advantage?

[@andresrosales3466]

I am also curious about this

[@RazorPhoenix7]

sounds good, ive seen a few doom 2016 and eternal speedrunners use this, can't speak for DRG however.

[@joltganda]

@@BlackWolfJa Depends on the missions you play more. It has more use while pipe riding (Hold E, use the b-hop wheel whenever you land, Sonic speed) Other than that it just has some general use and a bit more quality of life, especially with environmental slowdowns.

@@joltganda i see now, thank you, Ganda! I'll probably try it out x'D I hate slowdowns, especially from snow

[@0rag]

Question?: How did you throw the axe so fast? I can't seem to throw that fast

[@spinomitegames9000]

He's doing reload canceling with the axe's throws.

[@greyhound4639]

To be clear, animation canceling means he's interrupting one animation with another that ends faster. In this case, using his mining animation to interrupt the follow through of the axe throw.

[@taighberton3604]

What pickaxe cosmetics are those?

[@myakky]

it's so relaxing to watch a pro driller play, everything works out like it's staged for player

[@PandaStyle07]

Driller makes me sad, I really loved it at the beginning but when I got into higher hazards and ammo became a problem I realized how little I used my secondaries and that I didn't like any of them, it's definitely my fault for not using the drills, axes and secondary for damage more often but it feels kinda bad, I'll definitely give it another try after I get some overclocks for driller

[@TripIe9]

If you utilize his cryo/sludge builds you should have no issues whatsoever with ammo economy. I run my EDDs with it and never have a problem. Only thing I differ from him is my flamethrower build. I use face melter OC and go damage, don’t like the full sticky flames build personally.

[@Frostburnphoenix]

how are you able to deposite minerals that fast spamming the deposit key?
