Genuine tip from my experience would be "stay far away when possible and in either large, open caves (easy to retreat away) or caves with a lot of obstacles (easy to avoid getting fully grabbed)". If you do that, it's just a matter of shooting the glowing weak points until it dies. Get your "precision gun" out for the job or stick the dude with the best gun for the job (probably the M1000 Scout if available) with the job of killing the thing and you should be fine unless in a particularly bad spot to fight the Nemesis. A more meme-y tip inspired by the whole refinery fiasco would be to drop your supplies on it, since it's slow-ish and moves in a way you'll probably be able to predict after a few encounters.
Another good way is to get shard differactor, get the 'press r to kill *MORE* ' OC with heat damage, then all it takes is 1 full blast (though you do have to dodge the shield)
One of my favourite parts of the new season are actually the new voicelines for common events like swarms or killing enemies. I’ve heard mission control tell me about swarms probably a thousand times now, so I’m very happy to -see- hear more variety. And doretta being in the space rig makes me happy :)
@@glyndekari - oh HELL yes. Before I could only ping the crystal next to my friend and go "This is worthless! This has no value!" While pointing at him. I do hope they didn't add more bittergem or compressed gold lines. It feels funnier if its just "We're rich!" Echoing through the caves 26 thousand times
funnily enough, one of the biggest positives of this patch for me was the buffs to the sludge cannon. its by far my favorite gun on driller, and it got turned from a meh version of the sticky flames build that is only really good on escort missions into an absolute BEAST
it was still really good before the update. I consistently got the most dmg on haz 5 with most multipliers regardless of what guns my teammates ran. I dont think it needed a buff, but if it makes some of the bad oc's viable it would be a nice thing
@@joakimedvardsson2294 Hey mind sharing what mods and Overclock you run on haz5 ? I ve tried so hard to make the sludge pump work but so far I haven't found success, thanks in advance !
Let’s thank management for gracing us with some new and improved equipment! Even tho we still can’t order sandwiches at the abyss bar, I just want it to be sandwich time
I always wondered what happens to Dotty if saved in a mission. Does she just get plonked onto another drill base or is she harvested for parts, I never knew. But now we finally know, absolutely love it!
The Nemesis is pretty easy, at least in the two times I’ve fought it. It actually says voice lines once you kill it. One of them is “I’ve seen things you dwarves wouldn’t believe.” which is a clear reference to Blade Runner with Roy Barry’s famous Tears In Rain speech.
It also mentions teardrops in the rain in another death voice line. Only fought it twice and I got that one, but I'd bet more voice lines are just other parts of his monologue.
So there was this one time I was doing an Extermination where the first thing I heard upon leaving the drop pod was “RESCUE ME” from the Nemesis. Let me tell you, the only thing more ominous than hearing the Nemesis’s voice lines constantly throughout the entire cave system is seeing the little pyramid on the map bobbing up and down as it tries to pathfind its way toward you. Then came the moment of having to dig into that cave pocket for the mission. I was understandably quite nervous when I was digging into the compacted dirt, and I was constantly bringing up the map to see if it was getting closer. When I finished digging, I was constantly going back and forth and back and forth through the hole I dug to see if that little pyramid on the map was floating down to where I was. I mustered the courage to fully follow through to the other side, and immediately sprinted back when I heard its voice get louder. After that, it was your usual montage of ape noises as I fought it. The cool thing was, though, that it has this Dig ability, right? Because of that ability, it had carved the originally still quite vertical cave into a giant column-shaped pocket of negative space, with pockets on the side that made tediously climbing it to look for minerals a little easier after the fight. Also, the cocoon was all the way up in the top. And I only play solo.
Favorite part is easily all the new rock and stone voice lines. I spent about 15 minutes in the space rig after booting it up just trying to hear all of them and they're wonderful.
I'm the animator on the game. I just wanted to say thank you for the video 🙂 I'm happy you like the new animations.. So the gunner is getting all the cool gunslings? I have now written that down on a piece of paper, 🙂
i just played with you this morning after the patch dropped, and gotta say it was pretty funny hearing you say that you couldnt get a nemesis to spawn in the experimental build but then our group ran into 3 in 2 missions LOL
Ugh, I got 2 in one mule repair, and while the first one didn't really do much, the second one completely fucked us over. We just had hundreds of bugs swarming us, and we couldn't stay on the fuel cells long enough to get any progress, and we all fucking died. Rival presence didn't help, either. Felt like a haz 5 mission Instead of 4.
I'm really interested in the Goo Gun balance changes, especially for Dreadnaught fights and armored enemies. I think wave cooker for basic bugs + goo gun for big bois will be an insanely powerful driller build.
I've tried it, it's REALLY good now. Normal shots fire super fast and do more damage - I think now you can build for those, instead of using charge shot as primary.
@@Jefrejtor They actually nerfed the normal shot damage quite a bit last update, theres the yellow overlock that increases the damage of normal and heavies, putting the normal at around 48 which is still okay, but it ment you spend more ammo for less damage, which always hurts me internally. The heavy charged attack does 140 or something though, which is pretty nice
@@DR_Loud75 can confirm that cryo cannon + temp shock microwave gun is absolutely filthy after trying the update for the last month or so. Uses a LOT of ammo, but you can deal with waves better than gunner.
Intresting trick for disabling the turret controller : If you have a driller on your team , ask him to drill a tunnel that leads under it then try to aim at the sides of the device until you get the hacking pop-up. Now you can hack without atracting the turrets attention and with minimal ammo cost.
@@Blueybeak unfortunatly yes , if the repulsion turrets somhow spot you trough the ground , their sheild projectile is massive enough to hit you while you are hacking, but this ussualy only happens when you have teammates who don't look at the chat and get in range
Sniss when you said that you hadn’t gotten to fight the nemesis I nearly fell over in disbelief, (that thing is scary for someone who is bad at the game) and I can’t believe that others are not seeing this thing when they are happily mining all of their woes away and then BAM party wipe because no one knew what to do and was too terrified to do anything.
Spoilers for Nemesis Fight down below. The Nemesis is basically what would happen if you Merged a Grabber with a Bulk Detonator. It has 2 primary attacks, I will launch a shield at you or it will grab you. the grab will kill you no matter what unless you have heightened senses, But even then, the Nemesis won't take any damage if you break out. the Nemesis also spawns a bunch of Phase Bombs upon death. It can be found on any level although I think it's more common on rival presence missions, (used to be exclusive to rival presence missions).
Some other things of note: Nemesis is MUCH more common on Rival Presence It can spawn during Hacking Pod events with data deposits, dunno if it shows up on Sabotage missions but it likely does Grabs aren’t certain death, I’ve survived them multiple times, maybe it’s just luck
@@pokeaust7800 Could just be the difficulty level. Doing Weps and loadout Tests Solo on Haz 3 - they hurt but released you and you survived unless low. Jumped into a Haz 5 MP and the Claws kill you in 3 seconds flat
Reading this just... started hurting, knowing how often I get leeched while soloing the game. Bosco normally kills the grabber eventually but if this is an instakill basically, that's very bad.
The Nemesis often spawns on Rival Presence mutator missions, and it has a weak point in the vents under its arms. Also if you can get close somehow, all rival tech is weak to pickaxe hits, including power attacks. Edit: correction from replies and a spelling error
The nemesis also has a weakspot on its eye in the front. It just closes from time to time and wont be available. Also it can be destroyed so it wont be available at all lol
Always isn't true, I've done a bunch of missions with that mutator, and, fought it only twice, which is still more than I found phazyonite since I never found any in a good 30 missions
Fire Bolts are my favorite part of the crossbow, especially when paired with pheromone specials and/or IFGs. Just plop one into the ground and let them walk nearby it. Best BBQ I ever had. IFGs and Pheromones are for bunching them up to utilize the heat propagation mechanic so that all burning bugs ignite others. It's imo the best horde clear scout has. Then just pack in ASS M1000 or OPA Drak for priority targets and boom.
My favourit part of the update is the new voice lines, i haven't been playing for that crazy long (just clocked 130h) but it brings such a refreshing breeze into the caves. The QOL changes with the shop and OC forge are great too
I feel like the coil gun is by far the most underwhelming. It looks like it’s designed to be a direct damage weapon that you charge, with some AOE with the trails. But the damage, even with damage upgrades and the overcharge upgrade, is just pitiful. It seems that it’s supposed to be an AOE weapon…but you shoot a single projectile at an enemy. It’s supposed to be through the trail, but enemies actively avoid said trail. So it isn’t a direct damage weapon, and its main form of AOE is borderline obsolete. Idk, I’ve only played a couple missions with it, maybe I’m just missing something. Edit: The fact that I’m only seeing stuff that points to one overclock being good and making the weapon viable should show how poor the weapon is overall. I can run Magic Bullets or Elephant Rounds on the Bulldog. I can build the BRT for single target or area damage. But I only have one overclock that has people talking about how good the weapon is with it when it comes to the railgun. Again, I haven’t used it much. Maybe I’m just missing something. But from what I’ve seen, the weapon just seems to be a one trick pony, and that isn’t good for a DRG weapon.
Gunner main myself; I've played with the coil gun enough, including the OCs, to know that I won't be using it much if at all. I haven't seen anyone playing with a killer build for it either.
Well since the experimental im exclusively playing Coil Gun with the Hellfire OC and the weapon is just nuts with it. One shot and the entire wave is dead or at least nearly dead
22122 Hellfire basically turns it into a pseudo breach cutter. Though I still prefer magic bullets AoE bulldog. I only bring it for rival presence missions because that build will proc the fire instakill on nemesis in 1-2 fully charged shots
These season update things have been absolutely brilliant. Hope theyre willing to give us a couple more! Really feel like with a few more events/missions with the robot dudes and some weapons the game will truly be complete
I also appreciate the tons of new voicelines for killing enemies, friendly firing, saluting, pinging teammates and swarm announcements. I do wish team pings only addressed the class instead of going "you! Can i get your attention?" Though. And the new voicelines aren't as good as the originals, but hey, more is more.
Random Nemesis combat tips: I'm pretty sure you can shoot dwarves out of it's claws, before it deals the crushing blow, so be quick with that. ALSO, supposedly one gunner incin-grenade can kill it instantly(By setting it alight), or just anything that can set it on fire quickly, as apparently, robots die instantly when set on fire completely. And, funnily enough the Nemesis was crushed by an aquarq grinder landing my first time seeing it. Other than that, I'm unsure how else to deal with it, other than keep your distance and make sure it doesn't catch you off guard. Also, my favorite thing about the update is the new minigun framework. Saw that in the teaser they did a while back and I couldn't wait, when I realized it was the season framework I shed a tear of happiness. Hope you enjoy the update Sniss!
Fun Fact about the wave cooker, it can pop a detonator on kill so he doesn't explode. For me its definitely a weapon to turn the driller into a wave clear MACHINE more than he already was, especially with the upgrades to cause temp shock. Not to mention its synergy with GOO making sludge builds feel really nice.
Tips for Fighting Nemesis Drones: Drop the mine head on them, it kills them instantly :D Keep your distance, if those big meaty claws get a grip on you you’re basically dead. Unless you have the heightened senses perk, it will never let you go no matter what anyone does to it. Engineers can nullify it’s grab temporarily by throwing out Two lures and having it grab them. If it’s hands are full it can’t grab you. If you’re skilled enough to do so, lighting the nemesis on fire will instantly destroy it no matter how much health it has left. It’s eye is destructible, and destroying it makes it more erratic. This can be good or bad, because it’s attacks become more random. When it dies, it drops nano bombs everywhere in a last attempt to kill you. Watch out for that!
If I had to guess, I'd say that the reason wave cooker is designed for the same niche a the driller's primaries is because it's for those drillers that only pull out their secondary when their primary is out of ammo.
Spoilers for the Nemesis miniboss: When I first fought the Nemesis I was spooked. I played on solo, and it snuck up behind a corner to wait for me. I heard the distorted voice of the engineer calling for help and it turned the corner, making my heightened senses alert go off. That freaked me out, so I got some distance to see what the hell was triggering the perk. I then realized that the damn thing could grab me. It being almost completely silent except for the voicelines of fellow dwarves got me good. Thankfully, I brought the flamethrower as I knew it was a rival presence, and I cleansed the demon in fire. Once It died, it said something about always being friends before it threw about 10 phase bombs at me. I was stuck in a narrow cave at the time, so you can imagine the panic. I survive with a quarter health, but of course I got sniped by an acid spitter. Absolutely amazing first encounter though. GSG did phenomenal with season two. 10/10, would get stalked by killer robots again.
I was playing solo too, got completely caught off guard by this thing when I had low ammo. it chased me around while I was panicking to find some nitra. In the end I was able to reach molly to deposit but then the damn thing crashed right through the cave wall with a massive explosion and scared the crap outa me. anyway... 10/10, would breach cutter again.
I've not heard much good things about the Engineers new secondary which was disappointing. I'm gonna unlock it first and give it a go for myself before I make my mind up though.
I got the Nemesis 2 or 3 times in one H4 Rival Presence mission. The fight isn't that bad, just do not get close to it since if it grabs you it *will* kill you (unless you're using heightened senses I think). It'll spit out little barriers to protect itself; you can't shoot through them, just go around them. It has 3-4 crit spots, I think it's 4 (one on each side). Once you break a side, go shoot somewhere else because you do less damage to damaged parts. When it dies be mindful of the orange spheres, they blow up.
I did the math, the cooker’s base damage per second is about 49, and with one damage mod AND rate of fire mod, it’s dps almost doubles to 81 dps, and we don’t have to worry about random spread because it’s a flashlight. That might take Burt down from the favorite weapon throne, even though I have been screwing around with the cooker for most of the experimental branch. Speaking of which, before the shard diffractor got nerfed a bit, it could shred a hive guard with NO damage mods or aoe mods.
One update I'd like to see would be an expansion on eliminate missions. Like, what happens if we get to a cocoon too late and a mega dreadnaught attacks.
I haven't figured out how to fight the nemesis either. I found it twice, once solo and once with 1 other friend. It has two arms. Neither of us had heightened senses. We both got grabbed at once and died. The solo mission was the same, since Bosco can't solo the thing by himself. It has grabbies, don't get grabbed.
I haven't played a whole bunch yet but one subtle thing I love are the tiny tweaks, like to some animations, the Doretta Easter egg you mentioned, text size in menus being bigger, new voice lines, etc. Just some treats to make the game feel fresher :)
from what i’ve gathered -the nemesis will not voluntarily release dwarves, you MUST shoot the arms -barriers will decimate you if you don’t move -BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHEN GETTING TO THE DROP POD, IT CAN AND WILL SPAWN ON TOP OF YOU AND GRAB YOU OFF OF THE RAMP
At first I found the Shard Refractor to be a bit "meh", but after going for fire damage and putting in the Feedback Loop OC, that increases AoE size+dmg over time, this thing became one of my favorite weapons. You see a gigantic hoard approaching, you just swipe the laser across the front and see everything go up in flames or downright vaporized.
For the Coilgun- The Mole increases in damage for each individual terrain it goes through. If you pierce a wall, a crystal, and then an engineer platform, it increases for each of those. As far as I know, it does stack with each thing no matter what it passes through, so you can make a giant fat pancake stack with an engineer and do 850+ damage. The nemesis is a pain in the ass to fight and don't get close. Fire good.
Yesterday i watched your "things i eant to see added to DRG" video, and its funny how many things actually got in. Builders choice frameworks, new weapons, and dotty in the space rig. They also added the soccer minigame last season which was something you asked for
I am here after two days from upload with a warning. The Nemesis never dies. It doesn’t matter how many times you kill it. It _keeps coming back_ I killed my fifth one just a moment ago. A few minutes later I could faintly hear another one calling out for ‘help’ I spent 30 minutes just trying to find it. _IT_ found me, then I killed it. (NG’s Partical Beam Cannon is crazy) and immediately called the MULE. As I was escaping I could hear ANOTHER ONE trying to lure me. _THEY DON’T DIE_ … after all, “This was not a triumph” You have been warned.
Yeah, the first time I got nemesis I was scared the whole time because I could hear it through the wall. Then it got frame one disintegrated by the drilldozer.
clearly doretta in the space rig is the best thing for this season. this and the fact that you can lazer point your teamate and say specific line for each class.
It’s such a shame you didn’t get to encounter the Nemesis. It’s like being in a horror movie when that thing chases you, with it’s eerie voice echoing down the tunnels as it approaches.
Hey sniss, I had a very original idea for a video. DRG nuzzlocke. You start a new profile and whenever one dwarf dies, they’re gone forever. You keep going until everyone is dead and then that account is dead too. See how far you can get ig. I would do it too but I’m bad and got DRG like 1 week ago so I’m still doing all my assignments. Also might make a good video if you’re lacking any ideas currently.
The new hacking menu for the router / turret controller is quite interesting, and also makes the router event more challenging when doing it solo Also the rival tech framework on the shard diffractor looks really cool
I love the funny engi laser cannon so so much, it pairs real well with mini shells on the warthog, and its playstyle is simple enough: see bug, therefore you are obliged to light it on fire. If bug no die, shoot with laser more or mag dump with shotgun It looks AND sounds amazing (megacorp framework is my favourite) and it has the perfect sort of mad scientist vibe going for it 400 hours in and I can finally play with something other than fat boy and rj compound, thanks ghost ship!
Firebolts are good with more control oriented builds. Notably, try speed-overheat aggressive venting drak with ifg and drop flame darts into the floor under incoming swarmers and inside of ifg/fear-blobs from the drak's overclock. It saves a massive amount of ammo and attention for middling-to-small enemies to burn while slowed/feared away from you. Especially swarmers.
The new driller's secondary, Colette wave cooker, is amazing at cooking Opressors. The tier 5 upgrade, Exothermic reactor, is the key. Use sticky flame build, set them a blaze, spray the sticky flames under them or in the direction of their movement. Once they are on fire, use the secondary to cause sudden temperature change. They will take a lot of dmg. Let them build up the fire dmg from sticky flames again, this very fast, and use secondary again. It is so good, no worring about their weakspot. And it works wonders not only on them, but alson on everything half good flamable.
This game needs a lot more of this stuff . Dont get mne wrong cosmetics are nice and all . But the real meat of it is gameplay variation . The main focus should be weapon variation and mission types.
When I found out the scorpion mask was a beard cosmetic I almost cried with happiness, combining them with the NV goggles looks amazing, especially with the robot rebellion engineers armour

Tips for fighting the nemesis:
Crush it with the refinery
Genuine tip from my experience would be "stay far away when possible and in either large, open caves (easy to retreat away) or caves with a lot of obstacles (easy to avoid getting fully grabbed)".

Get your "precision gun" out for the job or stick the dude with the best gun for the job (probably the M1000 Scout if available) with the job of killing the thing and you should be fine unless in a particularly bad spot to fight the Nemesis.

The nemesis also has a weakspot on its eye in the front. It just closes from time to time and wont be available. Also it can be destroyed so it wont be available at all lol
the nemisis dies instantly like all other robots once set on fire
Always isn't true, I've done a bunch of missions with that mutator, and, fought it only twice, which is still more than I found phazyonite since I never found any in a good 30 missions
the accessory ore is a genius idea
it's the only part i didnt know about and to me it's the most exciting not including the miniboss
That's a really good update. Hoped for more "terrifying look" for Nemesis tho.
Nothing would stay terrifying after you kill it a few times
@@omppusolttu5799 True, but leeches.
@@charred_dog Would you really consider them *scary?*
@@omppusolttu5799 well I do always get caught with my pants down using a utility before I notice a tentacle gets me.
@@omppusolttu5799 yes
Fire Bolts are my favorite part of the crossbow, especially when paired with pheromone specials and/or IFGs.
Just plop one into the ground and let them walk nearby it. Best BBQ I ever had. IFGs and Pheromones are for bunching them up to utilize the heat propagation mechanic so that all burning bugs ignite others.
It's imo the best horde clear scout has. Then just pack in ASS M1000 or OPA Drak for priority targets and boom.
Sorry just the
ASS M1000
that got a firggin random crit on me.
"We saved Doretta! We're heroes!"
I love that she now appears in rig after a successful Escort Duty.
Isn't Builder's Choice like one of the first meshes they showed off when first implementing them? Also coilgun makes my gourd pog relatively hard.
Great vid sniss! Always look forward to ur coverage cause you keep it quick but also unique to ur own style! Rock and Stone!
My favourit part of the update is the new voice lines, i haven't been playing for that crazy long (just clocked 130h) but it brings such a refreshing breeze into the caves. The QOL changes with the shop and OC forge are great too
My favorite part of this update is the mole oc. If you swiss cheese with it you can do some CRAZY damage to glyphids and dwarves alike
Can we talk about how it’s been over a year since a new beer? Can we get some new beers? I just want more beer.
Personally I love the sludge pump buffs, the fact that it gets a tier 5 mod built into it is a plus for me!
Rock! And! Stone!
I feel like the coil gun is by far the most underwhelming. It looks like it’s designed to be a direct damage weapon that you charge, with some AOE with the trails. But the damage, even with damage upgrades and the overcharge upgrade, is just pitiful. It seems that it’s supposed to be an AOE weapon…but you shoot a single projectile at an enemy. It’s supposed to be through the trail, but enemies actively avoid said trail. So it isn’t a direct damage weapon, and its main form of AOE is borderline obsolete. Idk, I’ve only played a couple missions with it, maybe I’m just missing something.
Edit: The fact that I’m only seeing stuff that points to one overclock being good and making the weapon viable should show how poor the weapon is overall. I can run Magic Bullets or Elephant Rounds on the Bulldog. I can build the BRT for single target or area damage. But I only have one overclock that has people talking about how good the weapon is with it when it comes to the railgun. Again, I haven’t used it much. Maybe I’m just missing something. But from what I’ve seen, the weapon just seems to be a one trick pony, and that isn’t good for a DRG weapon.
Gunner main myself; I've played with the coil gun enough, including the OCs, to know that I won't be using it much if at all. I haven't seen anyone playing with a killer build for it either.
Well since the experimental im exclusively playing Coil Gun with the Hellfire OC and the weapon is just nuts with it. One shot and the entire wave is dead or at least nearly dead
22122 Hellfire basically turns it into a pseudo breach cutter. Though I still prefer magic bullets AoE bulldog.
I only bring it for rival presence missions because that build will proc the fire instakill on nemesis in 1-2 fully charged shots
These season update things have been absolutely brilliant. Hope theyre willing to give us a couple more! Really feel like with a few more events/missions with the robot dudes and some weapons the game will truly be complete
I also appreciate the tons of new voicelines for killing enemies, friendly firing, saluting, pinging teammates and swarm announcements. I do wish team pings only addressed the class instead of going "you! Can i get your attention?" Though. And the new voicelines aren't as good as the originals, but hey, more is more.
Also, you can ping your fellow dwarves now!
Tons of new voicelines including new cheers, dwarf specific dialogue etc.
I freaking LOLed at the moment Nemesis got one-shoted by refinery
Thanks for fire support, management!
Random Nemesis combat tips: I'm pretty sure you can shoot dwarves out of it's claws, before it deals the crushing blow, so be quick with that. ALSO, supposedly one gunner incin-grenade can kill it instantly(By setting it alight), or just anything that can set it on fire quickly, as apparently, robots die instantly when set on fire completely. And, funnily enough the Nemesis was crushed by an aquarq grinder landing my first time seeing it. Other than that, I'm unsure how else to deal with it, other than keep your distance and make sure it doesn't catch you off guard. Also, my favorite thing about the update is the new minigun framework. Saw that in the teaser they did a while back and I couldn't wait, when I realized it was the season framework I shed a tear of happiness. Hope you enjoy the update Sniss!
They added Doretta!! Didn't even know I needed this...but I super did 🙃 Also excited to use that Mircowave Gun cuz I'm a drill boi
Fun Fact about the wave cooker, it can pop a detonator on kill so he doesn't explode. For me its definitely a weapon to turn the driller into a wave clear MACHINE more than he already was, especially with the upgrades to cause temp shock. Not to mention its synergy with GOO making sludge builds feel really nice.
With the right overclocks the shard difractor is straight up the prometheus lenses. LASER TAG IS BACK BABY
Tips for Fighting Nemesis Drones:
Drop the mine head on them, it kills them instantly :D
Keep your distance, if those big meaty claws get a grip on you you’re basically dead. Unless you have the heightened senses perk, it will never let you go no matter what anyone does to it.
Engineers can nullify it’s grab temporarily by throwing out Two lures and having it grab them. If it’s hands are full it can’t grab you.
If you’re skilled enough to do so, lighting the nemesis on fire will instantly destroy it no matter how much health it has left.
It’s eye is destructible, and destroying it makes it more erratic. This can be good or bad, because it’s attacks become more random.
When it dies, it drops nano bombs everywhere in a last attempt to kill you. Watch out for that!
If I had to guess, I'd say that the reason wave cooker is designed for the same niche a the driller's primaries is because it's for those drillers that only pull out their secondary when their primary is out of ammo.
Spoilers for the Nemesis miniboss:
When I first fought the Nemesis I was spooked. I played on solo, and it snuck up behind a corner to wait for me. I heard the distorted voice of the engineer calling for help and it turned the corner, making my heightened senses alert go off. That freaked me out, so I got some distance to see what the hell was triggering the perk. I then realized that the damn thing could grab me. It being almost completely silent except for the voicelines of fellow dwarves got me good. Thankfully, I brought the flamethrower as I knew it was a rival presence, and I cleansed the demon in fire. Once It died, it said something about always being friends before it threw about 10 phase bombs at me. I was stuck in a narrow cave at the time, so you can imagine the panic. I survive with a quarter health, but of course I got sniped by an acid spitter. Absolutely amazing first encounter though. GSG did phenomenal with season two.
10/10, would get stalked by killer robots again.
I was playing solo too, got completely caught off guard by this thing when I had low ammo. it chased me around while I was panicking to find some nitra. In the end I was able to reach molly to deposit but then the damn thing crashed right through the cave wall with a massive explosion and scared the crap outa me. anyway... 10/10, would breach cutter again.
The fact nemesis lures dwarves with distorted lines was terrifiying
I've not heard much good things about the Engineers new secondary which was disappointing. I'm gonna unlock it first and give it a go for myself before I make my mind up though.
They buffed it. It's much more in line with the Engie's other secondaries now. Where as before it was much more in line with the Subata lol.
It was in beta for just 2 days before they buffed because it was so underwhelming. Now it absolutely rocks against both bugs and bots!
Rapid fire sneezing is quite a way to put it
Oh damn perfect video release timing
Nice work on getting this out as fast as you can!
There are new salute voice lines. That’s it. Best update ever.
I got the Nemesis 2 or 3 times in one H4 Rival Presence mission. The fight isn't that bad, just do not get close to it since if it grabs you it *will* kill you (unless you're using heightened senses I think). It'll spit out little barriers to protect itself; you can't shoot through them, just go around them. It has 3-4 crit spots, I think it's 4 (one on each side). Once you break a side, go shoot somewhere else because you do less damage to damaged parts. When it dies be mindful of the orange spheres, they blow up.
Mans done it so well he got a shoutout from the devs
I did the math, the cooker’s base damage per second is about 49, and with one damage mod AND rate of fire mod, it’s dps almost doubles to 81 dps, and we don’t have to worry about random spread because it’s a flashlight. That might take Burt down from the favorite weapon throne, even though I have been screwing around with the cooker for most of the experimental branch. Speaking of which, before the shard diffractor got nerfed a bit, it could shred a hive guard with NO damage mods or aoe mods.
Let's not forget the most important thing they added:
-New Salute Lines
One update I'd like to see would be an expansion on eliminate missions. Like, what happens if we get to a cocoon too late and a mega dreadnaught attacks.
chumberino would certainly be terrifying
That reaction to Doretta being in the rig perfectly mirrored mine
I haven't figured out how to fight the nemesis either. I found it twice, once solo and once with 1 other friend. It has two arms. Neither of us had heightened senses. We both got grabbed at once and died. The solo mission was the same, since Bosco can't solo the thing by himself. It has grabbies, don't get grabbed.
I haven't played a whole bunch yet but one subtle thing I love are the tiny tweaks, like to some animations, the Doretta Easter egg you mentioned, text size in menus being bigger, new voice lines, etc. Just some treats to make the game feel fresher :)
from what i’ve gathered
-the nemesis will not voluntarily release dwarves, you MUST shoot the arms
-barriers will decimate you if you don’t move
-BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHEN GETTING TO THE DROP POD, IT CAN AND WILL SPAWN ON TOP OF YOU AND GRAB YOU OFF OF THE RAMP
Noice, right after the S2 premier thingy
At first I found the Shard Refractor to be a bit "meh", but after going for fire damage and putting in the Feedback Loop OC, that increases AoE size+dmg over time, this thing became one of my favorite weapons. You see a gigantic hoard approaching, you just swipe the laser across the front and see everything go up in flames or downright vaporized.
For the Coilgun- The Mole increases in damage for each individual terrain it goes through. If you pierce a wall, a crystal, and then an engineer platform, it increases for each of those. As far as I know, it does stack with each thing no matter what it passes through, so you can make a giant fat pancake stack with an engineer and do 850+ damage.
The nemesis is a pain in the ass to fight and don't get close. Fire good.
Sniss never fails to impress. Rock and Stone!
Tips for fighting the nemesis
-keep your distance
-shoot the glory stuff
-it doesn’t have a weak point
Yesterday i watched your "things i eant to see added to DRG" video, and its funny how many things actually got in. Builders choice frameworks, new weapons, and dotty in the space rig. They also added the soccer minigame last season which was something you asked for
My favorite thing from this update was solely the beam defractor, it gives my proton pack vibes and it makes me feel good
Busting makes me feel good 👻
I am here after two days from upload with a warning.
The Nemesis never dies.
It doesn’t matter how many times you kill it.
It _keeps coming back_
I killed my fifth one just a moment ago. A few minutes later I could faintly hear another one calling out for ‘help’
I spent 30 minutes just trying to find it. _IT_ found me, then I killed it. (NG’s Partical Beam Cannon is crazy) and immediately called the MULE.
As I was escaping I could hear ANOTHER ONE trying to lure me.
_THEY DON’T DIE_
… after all, “This was not a triumph”
You have been warned.
Just recently got DRG on my PC, and after not playing the season 2 on my Xbox, I was terrified when I saw the nemesis in my 2nd mission
The laugh at doretta in the space rig killed me
Yeah, the first time I got nemesis I was scared the whole time because I could hear it through the wall. Then it got frame one disintegrated by the drilldozer.
*Doretta on space rig*
WE DID IT LADS!! WE SAVED DORETTA!!!
I hope your shard diffractor summary was accurate by the time it came out considering how much it was changed during experimental
The firebolts are useful with swarmers, I love seeing them fry with it.
Never really watched a creator for DRG content, but yours was really fun to watch, might become a regular.
clearly doretta in the space rig is the best thing for this season. this and the fact that you can lazer point your teamate and say specific line for each class.
DRG: Who needs guns when you have drill pods? Crush them
6:35 Ah yes, my favorite DRG mineral: Freddy Fazbearnite.
Finally. Guon gun is back in a ethically dubious scientists hands
It’s such a shame you didn’t get to encounter the Nemesis. It’s like being in a horror movie when that thing chases you, with it’s eerie voice echoing down the tunnels as it approaches.
Legends say if a beast so large, so destructive- so gargantuan…. The loot leviathan……
Hey sniss, I had a very original idea for a video. DRG nuzzlocke. You start a new profile and whenever one dwarf dies, they’re gone forever. You keep going until everyone is dead and then that account is dead too. See how far you can get ig. I would do it too but I’m bad and got DRG like 1 week ago so I’m still doing all my assignments. Also might make a good video if you’re lacking any ideas currently.
"Rapid Fire Sneezing"
I think I understand that reference. Lol
that refinery be like:
"OH HELL NAH NEMESUS THIS IS MY TERRITORY"
The new hacking menu for the router / turret controller is quite interesting, and also makes the router event more challenging when doing it solo
Also the rival tech framework on the shard diffractor looks really cool
My second mission I literally fought 6 Nemesies back to back, the fact that you couldn't find one blows my mind
Nemesis: "Finally! My rival! Our battle will be legendar-!"
*Crushed by refinery*
I have been waiting for this
I love the funny engi laser cannon so so much, it pairs real well with mini shells on the warthog, and its playstyle is simple enough: see bug, therefore you are obliged to light it on fire. If bug no die, shoot with laser more or mag dump with shotgun
It looks AND sounds amazing (megacorp framework is my favourite) and it has the perfect sort of mad scientist vibe going for it
400 hours in and I can finally play with something other than fat boy and rj compound, thanks ghost ship!
Firebolts are good with more control oriented builds. Notably, try speed-overheat aggressive venting drak with ifg and drop flame darts into the floor under incoming swarmers and inside of ifg/fear-blobs from the drak's overclock. It saves a massive amount of ammo and attention for middling-to-small enemies to burn while slowed/feared away from you. Especially swarmers.
The new driller's secondary, Colette wave cooker, is amazing at cooking Opressors. The tier 5 upgrade, Exothermic reactor, is the key. Use sticky flame build, set them a blaze, spray the sticky flames under them or in the direction of their movement. Once they are on fire, use the secondary to cause sudden temperature change. They will take a lot of dmg. Let them build up the fire dmg from sticky flames again, this very fast, and use secondary again. It is so good, no worring about their weakspot. And it works wonders not only on them, but alson on everything half good flamable.
“spent a long time to get the nemisis to spawn” me on haz 5 before patch “OH MY GOD THEY ARE EVERYWHERE”
Doretta has seen better days!
This game needs a lot more of this stuff . Dont get mne wrong cosmetics are nice and all . But the real meat of it is gameplay variation . The main focus should be weapon variation and mission types.
My favorite thing so far is all the new voicelines they added
When I found out the scorpion mask was a beard cosmetic I almost cried with happiness, combining them with the NV goggles looks amazing, especially with the robot rebellion engineers armour
I only have the coil gun and laser thingy but i love both.
Engi is even better at absolutely melting praetorians now.
Basically the DRG community when GSG shows them the fire bolts:
*”You’re giving off hot dog water vibes to me right now, stay the fuck away.”*
Hey, may I ask what build you use on the shard diffractor? My current build (32222 no OC) seems Extremely weak
I'm happy to hear this game has a railgun now.
I really love how you can fully rescue Doretta after a mission.
New Rock and Stone sayings is my favorite part
