Thanks! R&S!

Thank you! I’m not sure his full build, but the main part is the Bulldog with Volatile Bullets. He used incendiary grenades to set the dreads on fire and then one-shot them with the Volatile Bullets

That’s actually a brilliant idea - thank you

@@JeffLange1 thanks for hanging out in the stream!

Haha exactly! I was just building trust

Brooooo that’s crazy!

hate it when it happens

Would've been a 1:50 IGT....big sad

@@benicopter man 😔

Ryeor has a great description of how it work on his POV video. The link to it is in the description 😃

Volitile bullets and scout put enough debuffs on it to instantly light it on fire w his shotgun, once he burned gunner had a very short window to do that huge damage

Scout’s OC Conductive Thermals and Gunner’s Volatile Bullets. Conductive Thermals allow the Dreads to be set on fire with the incendiary grenade and then 1-shot with Gunner’s Volatile Bullets

When the pod is coming down, I look up to see where the lights are facing. This tells you where the door of the drop pod will be. I always try to grapple towards the back side of the drop pod to get a more consistent clip. I grapple to just under where the floor of the drop pod should be and hold the grapple until the pod lands. Once it lands, I jump a couple times until I pop through the floor. It takes some practice to get it right, but once you have it down I would say it’s an over 90% success rate

@@benicopter Is there a mod or method in-game to easily practice this besides hoping you can do it on a mission end?

@@imsosirius3151 Sandbox Utilities. You can load into any mission and trigger the drop pod immediately. Good way to practice

@@benicopter Welp, I know what I’m doin today. Thanks!

@@astroguster5522 thanks! R & S!

My grappling hook is: 1, 1, 1, 2 and my armor is: 1, 2, 1, 3. My grappling hook is setup the same on every one of my runs - I never change it. I like having the faster hook retraction mainly for jumping down towards the ground (usually off of cliffs, etc.). I can wait until the very last second before grappling and preventing fall damage. I find it harder to do with 'overcharged winch'. As far as the egg throw catch maneuver, there is actually a bug in the game right now that prevents you from doing it faster. If you do it too quick (the normal way), your grapple hook will go off but the hook won't come out and you'll stay on the ground. If you watch my 7 minutes and 4 second run from last month, you can actually see this happen to me in the 3rd stage. I imagine this maneuver is easier to do with my grapple setup since the windup time is faster. As for the drop pod clip, it's kind of hard to explain. I always start by looking at the drop pod lights to see where the front door will be. I try to aim for the back 'corner' of the drop pod. It's just where I've had the most success. You hold the grabble there until the pod lands on you. Once it lands, you jump up a couple times until you climb through the floor of the pod. This takes a lot of practice so if you have modding capabilities I would suggest going into Sandbox Utilities, calling the drop pod, and practicing to get it right.

​​@@benicopter Thanks for all the info! I was able to install the sandbox mod and I found a great tutorial by Autogyro.001 (who I just noticed actually also commented on this video lol) to set up and practice it. I also checked out the egg glitch in your 7:04 run (at 7:13 in the video). And I was curious to find what was causing it, since you yourself said "why does it do that?!" I started playing around with it in the sandbox. Through my limited testing, I have a theory as to why it happens, but I still need to confirm it. My theory is that the devs are reusing the switch gun function to reload the asset for the gun that you had before carrying something. The basis behind this idea is that the animation for the glitch looks identical to the animation for when you cancel a grapple by immediately switching to another weapon. Additionally, when you switch weapons your down left click is automatically canceled such that if you're firing a weapon and then you switch weapons, even though you're still holding down on the fire button as you switch you won't shoot anything until you let go and you fire again. So what I think happens is: 1. When you throw the egg the throwing animation and sound effects trigger 2. As the animations go off, you go from a "carrying something" state to a "normal" state 3. After which since you are holding nothing the switch gun function triggers to reload the gun asset. So what I think is causing the glitch is that there is a small buffer between the end of the throwing animation (step 2) and the beginning of the switch gun animation (step 3) in which you are technically in a normal state and can fire the gun you had before carrying the object you threw. As such you can actually fire the gun very quickly before the switch gun animation happens and the fire is canceled. You can actually see this with other weapons that you can hold down to fire as well like the gk2. If you time it right and try to shoot the gk2 continuously during that window (between steps 2 and 3). It will actually get one shot off before the shooting is canceled and you can't shoot anymore. (I can send a clip of this if you'd like.) Even though I don't know where exactly in the switch gun animation the shooting is canceled, you can actually see a perfect visual example of this in your 7:04 run at 7:13. If you go frame by frame (on TH-cam you can use ,. buttons on pc to fast-forward or rewind a video by a frame) you can actually see it say: the distance in frame 1, then recharging in frame 2, then the very top of your grappling hook coming into screen at frame 3. If my theory is correct I think the best way of avoiding the glitch and the way that I've been finding success in the sandbox is to wait at least until you can see a little bit of the asset of the grappling hook on screen because then the cancel fire trigger will have already passed. Its just that if you time it too early you can still get screwed, a queue that you know the grapple is coming up is having the hands already tucked in behind you and waiting for something to show up at the bottom right of the screen in your peripheral vision. The second way of avoiding this glitch is by doing the super throw since when you do it the throwing animation never happens and you already loaded into the grappling hook. As such it can't be canceled by the weird buffer between states. Hope this help! (edits: grammar and readability)

Rereading my comment I realize it's kind of hard to read😅 so if anything doesn't make sense please let me know.

@@BlackwingXElite I thought you said you were a greenbeard?!? I believe you’re a little more grey than you think 😉This is some serious in-depth analysis! I really appreciate you looking into it and sharing your findings. This is awesome stuff

Utilize Scout’s OC Conductive Thermals, set it on fire with Gunner’s incendiary grenade, then shoot it with Volatile Bullets. Should 1-shot each dread

Thank you! It has been great watching Milli’s team run the past few dives. I was really surprised to see so many deep dives have a sub-7 minute potential. Just based on statistics the probability is between 1-2 years to get that good of a dive, but I think Conductive Thermals has changed that probability with how quick it can kill dreads. Hope you’re doing well! We need to run some missions again, I always have fun playing/chatting with you :)

Oh shoot, you weren’t supposed to watch that far

The hiveguard was killed by utilizing Scout’s overclock Conductive Thermals and Gunner’s Volatile Bullets. User the same strategy on the classic dread but missed the 1-shot.

@@benicopter thanks, I know what my new strategy with my friends will be

@@Mr_Reaps25 Forgot to add that you have to set it on fire with the incendiary grenade before shooting it with Volatile Bullets

Yeah every 3 seconds one player spends outside of the black box is 1 second of total time lost. So at least 5 seconds of time. But Ryeor completely clutched it after that, so without his insane save I don’t think we would’ve ended with this great run.

Obrigado amigo! ⛏️

Solo Gunner would be tough on this one, especially with stage 2 so spread out

Thanks for letting me know! I don’t run Driller very much these days

@@benicopter o7 Thanks for the good content m8.

I really hope they don’t nerf it

@@benicopter me too

It’s so one of us can clip through the drop pod. You only need one person in the drop pod to move to the next stage. Waiting on molly kills a lot of time, and having more than 1 person clip through the pod puts you at risk of bumping into each other and knocking someone out. It’s just the fastest way to get through each stage exit

Haha I’m so glad you called that out. Love it

Thanks! Dreadnought fights are so fun with Conductive Thermals OC

Thank you!
