Recomend u too try play with randoms. Yeah in other games its gamble, but in this specific game 99% of random players is nice. For me this game is about cooperation and team spirit. Okay and now to important stuff, welcome to the family miner, ROCK AND STONE !
> calling it underrated is an understatement Why? Literally everyone I've seen playing it has praised it to high heaven. You'd be hard pressed to find any hatred or even criticism of it at all in fact. That's not "underrated."
@@dacomputernerd4096 I just saw other players do it in multiplayer so I just copied that from them. You have to hit them at the base and not at the head. Another thing I copied from other random players is the c4 strat for the caretaker. Just drill a tunnel above the care taker and throw c4 on top to almost one shot the armor-phase in the fight
@@cloneoffunkensteinThe tentacles have a 500% weakness to melee. You can also take out 4 arms with just 4 axes but you have to aim for the head weakpoint.
Im PR 999 (literally just sitting there for a bit and not promoting my dwarves on purpose) and even I didnt know this. Ive played for 5 years, those arms always a challenge, but hitting them at the BASE does 500% damage? On all hazard levels? And does the 500% crit apply to the tip of the tentacle, because ive power struck those hundreds of times and yes, it does a ton of damage, but doesnt always kill them outright. I must test this later. Great tip, thank you!
Fear not the Online Multiplayer, fellow dwarf; in over a thousand online missions, I have only ONCE found a toxic dwarf. He was thwarted BY GAME DESIGN. He was trying to be greedy about ores, when we ALL get the ores mined. I told him that, and he went back to playing normally. EVERY SINGLE DWARF I'VE EVER MET ONLINE OUTSIDE OF THAT HAS BEEN FRIENDLY. This community is a god damned hivemind that all operate on the same braincell, and 80% of that is dedicated to ROCK AND STONE. Seriously, every random out there is supportive and/or friendly. You'll have a blast in multiplayer.
you can eventually get mobility for engineer with rj250 overclock on the pgl that lets you basically rocket jump gives me the ability to die from fall damage on par with if not better than a scout Also solo squad 🍻 rock and stone
Good insight on why there's a dearth of drg content on CZcams. The DRG gameplay i watch the most is usually heavily edited, like DrDevvi clips or NameIsTaylor videos, and that i feel is probably the best way to make it work
As always, I highly recommend trying the mod "Massive Content Revise" for people looking to get even more out of DRG. It provides an excessive amount of quantity, almost all of which being toggle-able. Best of all? It has no dependencies. You don't have to add 3 separate mods, one of which being abandoned in order to enjoy it. (though it is worth noting that upon turning off the mod you'll want to restart your game since the mod replaces some assets and that confuses the game a bit) The primary function of the mod has admittedly disappeared from its name. It used to be called Massive Content Randomizer because the main feature was increasing the amount of cave variations by adding almost every option to the available pool. (also adding extra secondary objectives) Its my go-to mod to help me get more out of the game. From making the utility tools of the dwarves even better to adding new mission types to break up the formula. But anyways on the topic of the video. I think alot of the more passive behavior regarding DRG comes from how repetitive the gameplay is. There's a large amount of people that want constant action, tiptoeing around danger and enemies before clearing em out. It's a large part of where Helldivers 2 gets so much popularity despite the games inconsistent quality. To these people not only is Deep Rock old news, but the pacing of Deep Rock, that acknowledges the player needing time to think, explore, and mine is too slow. Which is a shame, DRG provides alot and despite its faults the games overall quality is impressive to say the least. Not to mention that the pacing DRG uses is also present in its contemporaries, simply being overlooked.
1:00 As the guy that played 700 missions as Scout and max ranked it before even 10 missions in any other class, I actually DON'T agree with you. Try engineer first, his mobility is the easiest to switch to, and his weapons are similar but debatably cooler. He seems to be based around crowd control, with a lure grenade, repellent platforms, turret AOE effects on the zap pistol overclocks, and landmine-esque sticky grenades. Any point defense objective, Engineer and some preparation and you're good. He also has some cool overclocks like MINI NUKE LAUNCHER. Once that gets you used to the more grounded play style of the other classes, try driller for all the swarm control that was so (comparatively) hard as Scout. Freezegun is an OP support tool as it gives frozen targets TRIPLE DAMAGE TAKEN, and Fire kills surprisingly fast, and the sludge gun is very fun in a unique way. At least that's what I did after I was getting sick of scout from playing it THAT much. Nowadays, while Scout is still my fave by far, driller is second favorite due to his fun guns.
Definitely play with randoms after you get a little solo practice in. The game was designed in such a way to foster a spirit of cooperation and camaraderie in its players. I say all that to say, that the community is super welcoming of newbies and greenbeards. Nothing makes you feel more like a true dwarf than helping out a greenbeard on his path to a promotion.
Because Games with contraversy get more clicks than games with no flaws whatsoever. DRG does have flaws don't get me wrong (Especially with Haz 5+) but they don't meaningfully detract from the games content. DRG also isn't super fun to watch. It's great to play but watching videos about an individual mission or even an entire build is not the greatest content, plus it's community is still fairly small, so CZcamsrs who explicitly make DRG content are small in number and viewerbase.
Deep rock galactic content does decently on the algorithm but ends up creating a loop that only hits people who also watch deep rock content because people tend to comment "rock and stone" on every video of DRG they see. (aka me, and what I did before I even got halfway through the video, and yes I watched the whole thing.)
Huh? How is it empty outside of cosmetics? In my opinion not only are the weapons and classes the most balanced out of any coop shooter I’ve ever played but on top of that there’s literally hundreds of weapon mods that change how the weapons play essentially making them an entirely different gun, in essence giving you hundreds of weapons to choose from, along with the dynamic cave gen and all of the modifiers and random spawn events, it makes the game endlessly replayable. But you said it’s one you come back to a lot so maybe we’re in agreement, I guess I’m just confused as to what you mean by “empty”, like what is it missing?
@@dooderman8361 yeah, I play the everliving shit out of it lol. But when you've done the loop you've done the loop. But there's a lot I feel is missing. Flare upgrades, more customizable shields instead of everyone just having a standardized overshield with one meh class specific ability, same with armor, pickaxes and chemlights, you could also have an actual skill tree for every class with their own set of passive and active abilities. All in all, end game feels like what should've been the mid game
@@4Moth2Mellow0 Maybe he HAVE an interesting live outside of computer, and because of that he didn't get bored of the game like people who play games 24/7. If u need game with endless content/grind then go play mmo
@@user-ui8kf6pb5zYup, everyone has their own reasons. Some people will leave once they obtained everything. Some will stay to achieve something further. DRG is desgined to be able to come back anytime. ie being able to visit old season passes. But you also got to remember that DRG is an indie studio not a Triple A company. They're with just a few tens of people they take time and effort to produce quality over quantity content and more time to balance the content to not conflict with existing ones. They are also directing their attention to Rogue core that's why seasons and updates are slowing down from 2 Seasons every year to 1 Every year. This might seem slow but nobody seems to complain about L4D2 not getting any updates and stopped playing completely.
Play online man this game isnt like other games where people are dicks, the way the game is set up you have to be a team and 99÷ of the player base will help you or call out when they are ready for stuff. Its a very different game with each class helping each other. No dwarf left behind.
I don't want to be misunderstood, but the Scout is, in fact, one of the four best classes in the entire game, talking form the perspective os a player that mains all classes, but I do prefer Gunner, even tho I have all in the same level

Okay and now to important stuff, welcome to the family miner, ROCK AND STONE !
Beards of grey, beards of green
All are welcome on this team
@@Aughtel Its absolutely true, mate, FOR ROCK AND STONE !
ah classic scout, "look at my grapple hook it's so cool look at my kneecaps exploding out my eyesockets weeeee. what do you mean...flaregun?"
Flaregun underuse is why I became a Scout main. xD

on steam the 30 day concurrent player average is 22,146 players i feel like we could get those numbers up even more
Rock me like a stone!

You can one shot the tentacles around the care taker with a pick-axe power attack.
How did I not know this?
