    I haven't used a bunker in a long time just because it usually seemed too inconvenient to set one up. This, though, is a really interesting way to distill it down to a science and really bring in some dwarven efficiency to what many would call a leaf-lover's strategy. I'll probably give this a try next time I play, I really like the idea of the foxhole to avoid outgoing friendly fire damage, never thought of that!

Then a passage ot the side for molly just like your method.

    Bunkers are for leaf lovers? Pfft.. What a joke. Anyone saying that is a leaf lover themselves, because the Dwarves of old could weather any siege, even from the knife-ears, in their city-fortresses built into the mountains and hills. To fight against the Dwarves was to endure not only our ferocity on an open field, but to wastefully spill blood against a monolithic defense, as the glyphids do when faced with Dwarves in a fortified position.
    Cowardice is to run from a fight in it's entirety. Intelligence is to put the fight on YOUR terms. Long live the Dwarves! For rock and stone!

      I mean you do you but from a gameplay perspective bunkers are boring. If you really wanted to you could do this for any swarm on any mission type. It’s just drill, c4 done. For me, Part of the fun of higher level play is learning to adapt to the environment in creative ways and kiting enemies. Finding an environmental choke point accomplishes almost the same thing and in my opinion feels more rewarding. If you’re doing haz modded play with enemy multipliers and you’re the last dwarf standing and you’re cornered then yeah drill into the wall and pray, but at that point you’re just looking to CC And drill to a teammate. If anyone ever does a bunker on my server I’m never going in it or just flat out kicking them. But it’s your copy of the game and you can play how you want and if that’s standing still firing into a hole so be it.

    • @HazopGaze
      @HazopGaze 2 роки тому +84

      @@alkyayzzz858 From a purely gameplay perspective, yeah, that is more fun just about every time. However I think it's important to understand what the use case is, which you seem to do so, albeit with a possible level of hostility. "Flat out kicking them" being the key phrase that's giving me that vibe. It registers as having zero intent to communicate what a player did to warrant said kick and it also gives some "meta elitist" vibes as well. Not exactly a good quality, imo. Feel free to correct me on that one, if I'm reading that bit wrong.
      Now regarding the use case, I do consider bunkers to be on the less fun side of things relative to the overall gameplay loop, but it's also worth noting that at some point, greater goals take over fun factor, and I would argue that Bunkering serves as both a level of quick thinking and team coordination to survive an otherwise scuffed situation. Natural choke points aren't always an option, after all. Recognizing that and adapting, even if it leads to a bunker, in turn prevents reruns, especially if you have players who see losses as wasted time, have little patience for getting downed and or losing, or are generally more focused on the overall mission rather than the moment to moment fun. They have thier place in the game on a general level.
      Which comes down to communication and understanding goals and intent. That and I consider high level play to be inherently less fun as well, from the angle of someone who has been put off repeatedly by "You must run build A, or do strategy B, nothing else will fly." That kind of restrictive stance on gameplay can be just as big a buzzkill and "high level play" is all too often full of people who do that kind of thing and then assume other players "know". When that doesn't happen, and it leads to a kick, it's probably just as frustrating for the host as it is the player who got kicked.
      I think DRG in general has a lot of factors involved that, if kicks are given without at least some warning or an explanation as to what's wrong, it'll probably lead to more of that kind of "meta elitist" view of "high level play" in the minds of players who are only just getting to that point. A result I consider a detriment to the community and by extent, the rest of the game.
      Although I'm just elaborating on my thoughts here. Like you said. Your server, your rules.

      I'll join with Hazop. Bunkers are occassional mandatory thing to do. I have had few maps where there are so many spired and so many paths while making kiting for non-scouts difficult. On those times, bunkies and driller with some fuel for emergency exits come reaaal handy.
      Otherwise, I tend to just do bit of landscaping pre-horde, mostly to create more space so bugs won't sneak up.

But I also usually keep a mental note of roughly how far away and in which direction the other bunkies are, as a failsafe.

    A rather important tip, try to drill upwards at a 45 degree angle when building the tunnel, this will slow, or even stop shellbacks from advancing, taking care of 1/3 of the bunki destroyers. As for bulks and oppressors, if you hear digging, start spamming x and dig an escape tunnel in the back of the bunki, looping around and coming back out into the main cave, or a nearby tunnel if you can (tunnels are safer). And if youre using sticky fuel for the driller, let the gunner take the fox hole and stand off to the left of the entrance, peeking to reset your fire.

    • @Sotanaht01
      @Sotanaht01 Рік тому +8

      Oppressors are a non issue if you are Cryo, which leaves only bulks to worry about. Bulks basically never spawn alongside larger swarms. I think 1 bulk just takes a huge portion of the games "budget" for bug spawns, leaving a pretty anemic swarm to deal with and little need for a bunker in the first place.

    • @randombrony5434
      @randombrony5434 Рік тому +8

      @@Sotanaht01 Yes Oppressors can be handled well with Cryo but it takes a lot of the cryos "heat" to do so enough for your team to kill it, and it blocks the entire tunnel from your teams damage allowing the bugs to close the gap and get much closer to you then before. If you hear digging, or see an oppressor that isn't dying quickly, consider escaping.
      The second and frankly bigger concern is Oppressors / Bulks spawning after the bunkie has been constructed. There is a high chance the game will spawn a digging enemy if they are in the bug pool if the game detects you're in a bunkie. The chances of one spawning are significantly higher if the bunkie is closed and bugs can't path to you. NEVER close a bunkie, even if you get lucky and no digging enemies are spawned once you complete the objective and dig out you'll be greeted with a very tightly grouped swarm. Kill tunnels for the win.

    Usually I build my initial tunnel with an upward angle in order to minimize the chance of a Shellback ruining the fun. That does likely mean that the foxhole strat doesn't really work and widening the entrance becomes a little harder/less effective though, but a shellback incursion can turn a bunker into a deathtrap insanely fast so I think it's worth it.

    • @moldman5694
      @moldman5694 Рік тому +1

      What usually works for me is a little pit at the entrance to catch the shellbacks (specifically, a triangle shaped pit where the shellback rolls down a downward ramp into a vertical ledge). Works better if you make the entrance longer to compensate for the widening of the entrance, so I'll usually drill to 99%, wait to cool, then drill to 50%

    Hey There! Love these videos.
    I would love to see videos on any other unique driller techniques.
    I main driller and my wife mains gunner.
    We have played around with Zipline connection tunnels to provide a tunnel at the ends of the ziplines so you have somewhere else to go at the end of a perch. This has been a very helpful strat for fighting dreads.
    It combines the zipline perch strategy with a tunnel in the wall behind where the ziplines connect with the wall to allow movement to the different ziplines behind a physical barrier to avoid ranged attacks.
    I have even used those connection tunnels as sort of a mini bunker/side room for the resupply pods in a safer area than the main battleground.

    One more thing I like to do is look for the nearest cave system/tunnel, and start digging towards it. I stop digging a couple of meters before actually breaking through the wall. This gives me a premade emergency exit/plan B if I need to emergency evac out of the emergency bunkie due to emergency swarm of heavier enemies.

  • @matsis01

    Nice tomb. Step 3 should be immediately dig 90% of a relief tunnel, leaving the exit unfinished so no bugs use it as an entranceway. If a detonator comes through the front door all dwarves evac out the relief tunnel.

    Best bunkie i made was a set of 5 caves connectes by tunnels, 1 central and 4 outside, with various exits to areas of the map.. Made this for a very difficult Extermination mission. By the end the area was so blown up and unrecognisable, it was epic, lots of fun to make bunkies for the team.

    Me and mah bois have done this and a few other iterations/applications to prove Driller is OSHA safety compliant. We've made the Caretaker experience 'Nam by prepping the arena with numerous tunnels for use as cover, safe resupply points, traversal junctions, and even with Gunner and turret pillboxes. The whole setup can make it nearly impossible for the robo-tentacles to stab you, even if they emerge from the ground within the tunnels, forces Shredders to bunch up for easier dispatch, all while providing cover from deployed sniper turrets.

      How do you make gunner pillboxes?

    • @brandonhowe5017
      @brandonhowe5017 Рік тому +1

      @@reinbeers5322 To create a Gunner pillbox, first pick a terrain feature far enough from the caretaker to let things like the plasma barriers dissipate, and preferably with minimal obstructions. This feature could be located beneath a ledge, or high on a wall, up to your preference for access, really. Then, ideally use some drills to carve out a path for entry, exit, movement, resupply, Molly parking spot, the works. BUT, when it comes to your peek hole(s), it is generally better to use your pickaxe to ensure better cover, have crenellations and so on. Make sure your peek hole(s) have some depth from the surface of the wall you're shooting out of - the extra wall thickness should keep the Caretaker's arms and sniper turrets from opening up your pillbox and exposing you. I wanna say I usually use around 2 pickaxe swings' depth for my peek holes. Small side note: Molly parking spots may be exceptionally advantageous when using the Veteran Depositor passive perk - things tend to hurt on higher hazard levels, so a 7m radius of 30% damage reduction is welcome to your pillbox.
      That all said, it may be worth having multiple so the Gunner can be more active during the second damage phase because of how the eyes open up. You may also rely on teammates and their Driller-installed cover, but these nuances are regularly dictated by the boss room's generation. And even if you would only care to set up one pillbox, there's nothing wrong with lighting up the arms and turrets to help your team safely reach the eyes not exposed to you.
      I hope this information helps you rock and stone!

Just make sure you have a thick enough floor so the arms don't turn you into an OSHA lawsuit! It's also very good that you've added your own contextual workarounds to this strategy, because that's exactly the kind of critical thinking that makes the pillbox just as reliable as a bunkie, but more useful in these unique situations.

    One thing nobody seems to do is use the Rippers by throwing them orthogonally to the tunnel leading in.
    Doing so, it'll spin continuously for its entire duration, dealing 160 damage every tick, transforming your bunkie into a Glyphid blender, as even Praetorians are turned into a bright green goo.
    The same principle can be used to massacre the incoming swarms within Doretta's tunnels.

    I do think one other thing you can build is a fire escape. The biggest problem with bunkers IMO is bulk detonators, and you will probably need an exit when that happens. You can pre-dig util near the exit so you have a quick getaway in such cases. It needs to be somewhat far from the entrance.

  • @the_furry_inside_your_walls639

    When it comes to making bunkers, I normally only do them on Haz 4 or up salvage missions by having the driller drill the relay/battery pack down a some ways and then drilling a tunnel out, before using a c4 with max explosion range where the relay/battery is. Afterwards, the driller drills out the sides a little for a bit more room to stand and shoot from, sets up small rooms for resupplies, and makes a second tunnel as our escape root, then have the engineer plug up the shaft above the main room, the shafts above the resupplies, and the escape root, then we're set. If done right, the driller may at most use a quarter or so of his drill fuel and a satchel charge for each bunker made, and it's never failed us.

    If you want another way to utilize the driller digging capabilities in a unique way, i would suggest trying to dig a small trench.
    To start, this only is useful on industrial sabotage missions.
    You need some flat ground near the caretaker and enough nitra for a couple resupplies.
    First, dig down until your head barely peaks over the top of the ground.
    Then extend it in whichever direction you please, and widen it.
    After that, making a underground bunker like the one in this video makes for a great spot to put your resupplies.
    (I would suggest having the bunker be far underground and with some access directly into the trench, away from anythign that could harm you.)

    I don't know the efficiency of this strat but it's a REALLY fun one to do:
    on mule salvage mission, when you gotta stay close to the equipement at the end, driller (usually me) drills a room below the battery/equipement, one of us finish building it, runs in the bunker and engie blocks off the entrance with several layers. It's an experience, to just wait here on high haz, with all the insects crawling outside that you can hear as clearly as if they were in the bunker. After it's completed, I put a C4 at the end of a tunnel at a fair distance from the main room and blow it up. Either we leave, or we fire from inside.
    It's always really intense, once had an oppressor walking in the bunker and letting every glyphids inside.
    Also managed to record a particularly intense one were at the end one of my friends died in the bunker when we were leaving and I realized it in the drop pod. I cleared everything around him with C4 and managed to raise him, he made it to the drop pod at 00:00 seconds from take off
