ENOUGH! I hereby decree, the OMEN Exterminator as our champion! After seeing your comments its pretty obvious that you guys want the OMEN video first and Ive decided to work on that one in earnest. Dont worry, the BET-C video is definitely happening too. Thanks for voting! (also I guess I can do Community Posts with polls in them now so Ill probably just do that in the future for this kind of thing. I got that ability late for this one so oh well!)
Omen is too deadly compared to the rest. I have 500 hours into the game and friends all have around 250 and we just skip that event to not potentially wipe. We make a plan and something always goes wrong. If there was a way to cheese it we would totally take that route. I carry the team a lot of the time but that is one event I can't carry. Also great guides btw. I saw your engineer one and I thought no one but me had figured out the "Rail Gun" build as I also call it. Great editing and organization too.
Easy, start on the platform opposite the key as that one is the bottom layer, once that one is destroyed, the rest is easy, literally the only thing you need to know
First time I came across one of these things it was on a mission with some randoms, we spent like, 10 minutes trying to figure out what the hell we were doing, and when we finally figured it out, the thing started healing.

@@prich0382 Well yea but if the driller is smart he'll drill a ledge in a wall above the radial shots so the team can just chill and focus the bottom tower. There should also always be a dedicated "I don't revive person" as an emergency plan with an escape route.
You can just call Molly, make it sit on the platforms, and then stand on Molly to avoid the breach cutter like projectiles. I make use of the Molly trick all the time and when I told my friend about the tip with Molly he said he is going to abuse that every time he sees an omen tower.
@@Phoenixstorm36 The gun? Dude you know you can see if it's turning to face you? It does rotate slowly, just either go around it or hide till it passes
An important note on dealing with sprouts; yes, they resist most elemental damage, but ANY DoT effect (fire, shock, neurotoxin, etc.) will basically "stun" the sprout from attacking you, giving some extra time to evaluate your next move
other suggestions: leveling guides for us greenbeards - teach us what the early 'trap' upgrades are or what are some solid ways to spend our limited resources Guides for Grenade / Mobility Tools / Utility Tools for each class. Is shooting minerals with Gunner really any good? i see people do it alot but the resources seem lesser.
My beardy bois and I have taken quite the hiatus from DRG and were scared shitless at the vast locked content in the bestiary on our return. In-depth break downs such as this has prevented any additional salvage operations to be queued by Mission Control.
Tip for spotting the healing pods, they emit a stream of thin purple light out to the main heard when they're healing it, you can use that to see if there are any and find them if they're obscured.
Great to see some bossfight guides. I'd prefer OMEN next, I'm kinda fed up having to waste time not getting any cores because people don't want to fight it/don't know how the fight works.
In all my times in DRG, I had only ever found 1 team that was able to take down that damn weed. It really all came down to some freaking cooperation. You need the team to be fully into it and not half arse it. Or have one or more teammate off doing some other shit. Another thing to look out for is positioning. Having the team where they need to be to make work of the weeds parts and make sure that core gets opened fast, and unloaded on it even faster.
While I was new to the game, I was playing with a friend and ended up in a VERY deep pit with a Tyrant Weed in it. Luckily I was Scout so I could zip out of there
What I like about the Weed is that if it’s in a closed off or some other convenient spot you can just leave it alone and come back later when you’re more prepared. You can do this especially if you already destroyed the healing pods or if it can’t heal any further anyway.
Great guide and sick editing. I love your stuff. My vote is for the OMEN tower. There's a lot of fun ways to approach taking it down and a guide in your style for that would not only be good to watch but would surely give some much needed education to the many dwarves I've seen struggle with not wiping on it.
Here are some tips I have for Tyrant-Weeds 1.If you are going to c4 the heart make a sort of elevated perch so everyone can shoot it more easily. 2. If there is crater where the heart is you can platform to allow other to melee it just make sure to go overzealous with the platforming if there is more c4 to throw on it. (You can also use it to allow for c4 to still be place near the heart even if there is a crater) 3. Use DoT effects to your advantage on sprouts this will help you not waste as much ammo. 4. Cyro is not good against the heart but very helpful against sprouts use it to support your team or make you secondary more efficient. 5. Gunners use ziplines as a quick escape down if the Heart is in high up. 6. This enemy resists explosive and electric damage and is weak to melee, ice, and fire. (Btw resistances are different between the sprout, heart, and healing pod but is generally accurate) 7. Try and rally your team before the heart opens so that you don't waste time and resources in the same phase.
The dreadnought hiveguard’s fight is similar to the korlok tyrant-weed with a wash, rinse, spin and repeat pattern cycle, but it keeps the same difficulty. My ideas for the dreadnought tyrants are: First stage of the sentinels, the hiveguard does not attack at all except for shooting fireballs at you every three minutes When the three weak point spores are available, the enemy shoots three fireballs (every fireball is shot every 1.5 seconds) with a cooldown of one minute When vulnerable at the back, it is the exact same. (The Weakspots on the hiveguard are covered up with a very heavy layer of Armor material) - The hiveguard spawns in more until / till the first third of its health has been depleted Then it adds a knock back stomp attack that launches dwarves thirty meters per second horizontally and thirty metres per second vertically (the stomp animation is super slow at first but then progressively increases faster and harder!) The dreadnought hiveguard’s fireball technique uses the season two and later attack and keeps the old one, the old one remains one minute, and the new one starts at 30 seconds between rounds. (The new fireball blast is in between 0.5s to 1.5.). Then on the third phase of the fight is with the stomp speeding up and the shockwave knock back blast excels 50mps horizontal and vertical and when almost dead it reaches 60mps to 120 meters per second. And the new fireballs are ten seconds between each time and the old season 1 and back is 15 seconds. That all I have to say about this. Goodbye!
Me and my friend were fighting a tyrant weed. it was a little under half heath when mission control wants to chime up and go "team we have something big on the scanners". for people who don't know that spawns a dreadnought. The worst part was we found a betsy after that right when we didn't need her it was also end of the mission too
I found those annoying because sometimes a scout rush into it and triggered it by accident, then it starts blasting shots through the cave forcing us to take cover - it has such a long range.
I highly recommend using Nuk17 (as Scout) with explosive ammo overclock and auto reload perk, as reloading the gun makes the ammo you shot before explode in the enemy, always shoot it but don't hit the reload button, instead change your gun and wait till the perk kicks in (not reloading it manually thus not exploding), do it till you shot 4 whole magazines on the Korlok and then when it closes, hit the reload button, you might 1 shot the thing.
Your videos are really well done for such a small channel, glad to hear you’re working on new ones. Definitely do the Omen tower next, its always hard for newer players to understand the keys to complete that machine event, like avoiding heavy burster, targeting drones, and strats to stay away from the radial pulse gun.
My first time experiencing this fight was the most fun I've had in this game everyone else was downed and I got an insta revieve on the gunner and we clutched through the end of the fight
Bro, you are making the highest quality Deep Rock content on this platform. Idk what your life is like, but if you have the time, perhaps a quick, (lower effort) tips and tricks/build recommendations video for the epic deep dive every week would be sick. Also, the omen. My core group of friends tends to skip it rather than fighting it every time.
Great vid! Loved the animations and hitbox info in the beginning! Of the 3 bosses, I'd say Omen or BET-C. Omen is usually a rough time for most teams and even Greybeards respect the sheer killing power of a Haz 5 Bet-C.
These videos are incredibly well put together, nice work man! Karl would approve. An Omen video would be really great, especially to share with my relatively greenbeard crew. Learning the intricacies of DRG is certainly fun, but I know there's always more I'm missing.
Really loved the video and especially animations/stylized text boxes, keep up the good work! Edit: Omen would be greatest for next vid imo, lots of people still have no idea what to do with it (just like Korlok)
One time I encountered this on a hazard 2 solo mission and defeated it. But I think I got really lucky because the heart clam was on top of a rock and the weeds couldn’t shoot me. I could just peek over the edge of the rock to shoot the healing pods and weeds I am addicted to watching your YT videos! Keep it up!
As a gunner I usually run berserk, so my general approach to a Korlok is to stay close to it and pick off the sprouts and pods with the minigun to then throw as many power attacks as I can into it when it opens and unload a bulldog magazine into it before it closes.
@@siirvend Have a good plan for those myself, or I and my crew use this, dig a panic trench, a trench that runs between the maintenance platforms where most of the team can hide while preferably the gunner uses a shield generator to cover themselves and then crack the radial pulse gun while being invulnerable at the time the pulse gun is running. Rinse and repeat up the tower. Feel free to try and critique the method as you see fit. Rock and Stone!
Huh... Trenches and tunnels. and a fallback position. Good to know. The last time I fought a tyrant weed on a higher difficulty it took my team apart. We just couldn't co-ordinate.
I once had a Tyrant weed in a TERRIBLE location in a solo game. It was so bad that all plant parts were on different platforms and different cave halls and If I was unlucky a healing pod would spawn downstairs so I had to run or dig my way down everytime! I did do it eventually but it was frustrating to deal with the healing pods there.
Great guide! The OMEN will be the most requested, I suggest holding out for more subs or making it a sub goal entry. Do BET-C next. A few notes about healing pods: The trails are visually obvious in most cases, although some may spawn under or above the fighting area making them harder to detect by obscuring the purple trails. The icons on either side of the health bar will change from a skull to a medic cross indicating there are active pods. Rapid damage from auto/semi auto weapons prevents the sprouts from firing for a few seconds, shooting multiple pods can buy you enough time to escape in some situations. Examples of this are the flame thrower, Zhukovs, Lead Storm. Dodging the sprouts on a zipline is dependent upon distance, if you're far enough away it can be safe due to the lead time of the projectiles, though makes direct damage on the heart-clam more difficult. The most dangerous aspect of the Korlok Weed is tunnel vision. We all want it dead, we can't all grasp how difficult it is without coordination. You could also note that the Korlok will sleep after losing LOS on ALL team members after (?) seconds making traversal of the area outside of it's activation zone safe again.
A fun thing I've learned with my weed killing, if you're desperate enough or have enough nitra to spare. You can call a Resupply pod onto the heart and immediately kill it. Now if you're with a team, make sure you ask them before spend 80 Nitra to end a fight that you might have been able to handle.
Another good thing to know is you can leave the area and come back at any time, if you need more nitra or your team is getting swarmed on high hazard it s best to fall back and come back to the Tyrant when it s clear, like mentioned in the video the clam won t Regen health past it s threshold even if it goes back to sleep
I just enjoy your videos in general. In terms of DRG TH-camrs, there's basically only you and PsychicSploob as the ones that put together great content.
Found myself as scout with 3 green beards who refused to attack healing pods. Went through 2 supply drops and had to resort to pickaxing them... Guide should be mandatory viewing before playing
@@siirvend was right next to the minehead so wasnt like I had a choice once one of them tripped it. Omen next please, I rarely see them and know I dont fully understand what's going on
Oh those are the worst! I had one next to the Omoran heart stone and we had no choice but to fight it. Didn't end well lol Also I'm definitely feeling the OMEN extractor. They're very obtuse to figure out and its hard to get practice in on them with how rare they can be.
One time, me and my team had to deal with a Kor-Lok, Rock pox infection site, AND the dreadnought cocoon. I saw the cocoon and pinged it, second later one bullet hit it and it opened. We lost
Another quick tip if you can’t realiy on a gunner driller can shred the clam with his drills in about four “openings” with minimal healing by the healing pods
Great video! I scrolled through a decent bit if comments, didn't see anyone mention that when you freeze the healing pods they stop healing. It's not a big deal, but if driller is near one, he can stop it until switching weapons or getting help from someone else.
This is a good video. Encountered the weed as a new player on my like... 20th-ish venture. One friend and I took the green bitch down, but it was rough. I'd love to see more videos like this, since many of DRG's more obscure encounters can be rough without understanding what's going to go down.
Sincerely, i have understood how to do OMEN in an easy way a week ago!😉😁 First step: the explorer have to be on the top of it, shooting down drones and weak points of the top level. Up there the only thing that can damage you are drones going towards you. But they aren't really much, 1/2... With that technique, you will destroy the upper top level very fast, without taking damage. Another way to go up there, it can be that you positionate yourself at the center of it, before it raises up. 👌👍 I hope that this advice can help you
Ah, the weed. The boss that can be either a breeze or a complete nightmare depending on how the clam is positioned. Shooting sprouts do massive damage and their spawn is not exactly too predictable. The fact that wave may happen in the middle of the fight is also a problem - chaos is the worst enemy when dealing with the weed.
Reporting back on this, resupply pods can also damage the Heart Clam when it is open. With enough timing and luck, you can turn a slog into a buffet. I’d probably label this as a last-resort or a gimmick, and I only had it successful once on Hazard 3, but considering the potential, I wouldn’t discount it.
Hopefully have a Gunner with Elephant Rounds OC or the burst pistol with Lead Storm OC, Scout with the M1000, tbh anything with high Burst damage, a good but potentially good thing to do is power attack right as it puts the shield up
Great video for a fun enemy! Now if only I could find them easier, there's this one specific room I've seen multiple times in the salt pits where I saw tons of roots but it felt impossible to find the main body. I think a video on omens sounds like a great idea!
I've had that before too, where the roots spawn but the heart clam itself is not present. I assumed it was hidden somewhere or just despawned for seemingly no reason because Hoxxes
This video will probably help in some capacity. For a video on which to make, I'd say BET-C or Omen. You fight Dreads so often there's basically no point.
just fought a korlok on escort duty haz 4, we had one spare restock left after the ommoran heart, and we had to use it wisely. after the fight no one had ANY ammo left, so it was a mad sprint straight towards the drop pod avoiding bugs- luckily i was scout and no one got downed during the getaway
i remember having to deal with my first one just a few days ago, still early in game (JUST got my first promotion and got one.) the way it was placed made it EASY to kill, a wall next to it where i don't get shot at. killed it solo too
Very good guide, although I would have liked to see three additional points in there. Driller's flamethrower and cryo cannon can negate the sprouts entirely - a frozen and flaming sprout cannot shoot back at all. A competent driller can make the difference in a Tyrant fight by keeping the sprouts frozen or on fire. An important tactical consideration is when to open a Tyrant weed. When it first spawns, it will open when you have killed three sprouts. So if you are having trouble with one or two sprouts, you can kill them and safely ignore the rest or come back to it later. It also makes it easy to coordinate your first opening volley on the clam. Finally, although it is exceedingly rare, you can use a bulk detonator to one shot a tyrant weed. Just kill two sprouts, get the bulk extremely low on health, and kite it over to the clam. Pop the last sprout then finish off the bulk before running like hell. It's difficult, but depending on your team, it can be easier and more ammo efficient than killing the weed normally. I've got about 5 of those kills in about 1200 hours.
First time I ever saw one was in the same room as a dreadnought, idk who, but some one triggered the dreadnought when we started the weed fight, we ran out of ammo and nitra, while the weed was at 2/3rds. I still blame the gunner.
Picked up DRG about a week ago, and went in completely blind. My 1st encounter of the Korlok was in Dense Biozone, and where it was meant everything spawned on multiple levels so getting back to damage the core gave me less time to deal damage,I didn't know about the healing pod (since it spawned in a small coveree nook and didn't know to look for it) and it took me FOREVER. Then a Bulk Detonator started chasing me right after I finally killed it, so safe to say I hated these things until I learned that, while tough, I got super unlucky the 1st time
Driller can do an amazing job by freezing the sprouts. With good positioning and the aoe freeze he can shut down multiple at once, which makes the encounter woooo much easier.
Oh yeah, he's fantastic at locking them down, and freezing the healing pod even stops it from healing. He's just gotta rely on his team to help with direct claim damage sometimes.
Ive never really had all that much trouble with the KTW. I play on haz 4 typically and I rarely find myself dying when facing one. Still a useful guide tho, I never realized it was weak to melee damage
Also Check the Area where Weed spawned on. Check if there’s a nearby room or any open terrain UNDERNEATH it. The Clam can spawn Pods and Sprouts through the walls and floor. While Sprouts can’t shoot you through walls, the Pods can heal the Clam THROUGH terrain. Drillers, please open up the area so your party can shot the damn Pods.
Wow this helped, fun and easy to understand. I would love to see videos on how to do machine events, i just got my first character promotion yesterday and i have no idea how the events are supposed to be done.
ENOUGH!

I am not kidding when I say that in a haunted cave mission, in an egg hunt, in the main room, there was a corruptor and a tyrant weed, quite hard.

Having the high ground is a significant advantage for this encounter. Easy to take cover, and quick to peek to shoot the pods and the core.
I’d say do one for the omen it’s difficult and a kick in the teeth if you don’t know what to do also keep up the good content
What I like about the Weed is that if it’s in a closed off or some other convenient spot you can just leave it alone and come back later when you’re more prepared. You can do this especially if you already destroyed the healing pods or if it can’t heal any further anyway.

id say teach people about the omen. its in my opinion the most rewarding boss creature as it can infuse matrix cores.
Very true, you get the most total progress out of being able to take them down consistently
@@siirvend Have a good plan for those myself, or I and my crew use this, dig a panic trench, a trench that runs between the maintenance platforms where most of the team can hide while preferably the gunner uses a shield generator to cover themselves and then crack the radial pulse gun while being invulnerable at the time the pulse gun is running. Rinse and repeat up the tower. Feel free to try and critique the method as you see fit. Rock and Stone!
There are plenty of things to infuse cores with.
Guy in my party managed to explain the whole thing in 1 sentence
Huh... Trenches and tunnels. and a fallback position. Good to know. The last time I fought a tyrant weed on a higher difficulty it took my team apart. We just couldn't co-ordinate.
Thanks to this video (and my teammates, of course) I have finally beaten not one, but two of these! Thank you so much for making this video!
Rock and Stone!
I once had a Tyrant weed in a TERRIBLE location in a solo game. It was so bad that all plant parts were on different platforms and different cave halls and If I was unlucky a healing pod would spawn downstairs so I had to run or dig my way down everytime!
I did do it eventually but it was frustrating to deal with the healing pods there.
Great guide!
The OMEN will be the most requested, I suggest holding out for more subs or making it a sub goal entry. Do BET-C next.
A few notes about healing pods: The trails are visually obvious in most cases, although some may spawn under or above the fighting area making them harder to detect by obscuring the purple trails. The icons on either side of the health bar will change from a skull to a medic cross indicating there are active pods.
Rapid damage from auto/semi auto weapons prevents the sprouts from firing for a few seconds, shooting multiple pods can buy you enough time to escape in some situations. Examples of this are the flame thrower, Zhukovs, Lead Storm.
Dodging the sprouts on a zipline is dependent upon distance, if you're far enough away it can be safe due to the lead time of the projectiles, though makes direct damage on the heart-clam more difficult.
The most dangerous aspect of the Korlok Weed is tunnel vision. We all want it dead, we can't all grasp how difficult it is without coordination.
You could also note that the Korlok will sleep after losing LOS on ALL team members after (?) seconds making traversal of the area outside of it's activation zone safe again.
Omen extractor event. Also, your content here is some of the best out there. Thanks for your work :)
Keep it up! Rock and Stone!!!
ROCK AND STOOOOONE
Just discovered your channel and man is it qualitative. You Rock and you Stone.
A fun thing I've learned with my weed killing, if you're desperate enough or have enough nitra to spare. You can call a Resupply pod onto the heart and immediately kill it. Now if you're with a team, make sure you ask them before spend 80 Nitra to end a fight that you might have been able to handle.
Another good thing to know is you can leave the area and come back at any time, if you need more nitra or your team is getting swarmed on high hazard it s best to fall back and come back to the Tyrant when it s clear, like mentioned in the video the clam won t Regen health past it s threshold even if it goes back to sleep
Damn straight dude! Please do more videos like this.
I just enjoy your videos in general. In terms of DRG TH-camrs, there's basically only you and PsychicSploob as the ones that put together great content.
Glad you like them!
Found myself as scout with 3 green beards who refused to attack healing pods. Went through 2 supply drops and had to resort to pickaxing them... Guide should be mandatory viewing before playing
A horror story that I've lived through too
@@siirvend was right next to the minehead so wasnt like I had a choice once one of them tripped it. Omen next please, I rarely see them and know I dont fully understand what's going on
Oh those are the worst! I had one next to the Omoran heart stone and we had no choice but to fight it. Didn't end well lol
Also I'm definitely feeling the OMEN extractor. They're very obtuse to figure out and its hard to get practice in on them with how rare they can be.
great video! one side note is that the drills on the driller are extremely good dps
One time, me and my team had to deal with a Kor-Lok, Rock pox infection site, AND the dreadnought cocoon. I saw the cocoon and pinged it, second later one bullet hit it and it opened. We lost
Sounds like a sick ride right up until the end there lol
As a begginer scout i have been in a cave with prospector and korolok, slayed them both, bosco had to rez me twice with porspector
I haven't seen this yet but this is great to know. Thank you!
Really appreciated your OMEN WALK THROUGH! THANKS FOR THE HELP!
ROCK & STONE 2 THE BONE!
ROCK. AND. STOOOOOOOONE.
Wow, given the quality of your videos I’d expect your channel to have >50k subs! I’m new to the game and loving these. Keep it up!
Another quick tip if you can’t realiy on a gunner driller can shred the clam with his drills in about four “openings” with minimal healing by the healing pods
Great video! I scrolled through a decent bit if comments, didn't see anyone mention that when you freeze the healing pods they stop healing. It's not a big deal, but if driller is near one, he can stop it until switching weapons or getting help from someone else.
nice guide, thanks
Just doing my part and subbing up to all the drg tubers.
Rock and Stone to the Bone!
Rock n Stone you beautiful dwarf!
I didn't know what that Space Cabbage was but boy did I beat it then smoke it.
The effects last for WEEKS
@@siirvend Damn, all I can tell you is that I can make Universal Grass and Galactic Crash Cocaine with these babies, Imma be RICH with credits!
Definitely Omen. I've seen Omens wipe a team more than anything else to the point where doing one feels a bit like a gamble.
This is a good video. Encountered the weed as a new player on my like... 20th-ish venture. One friend and I took the green bitch down, but it was rough. I'd love to see more videos like this, since many of DRG's more obscure encounters can be rough without understanding what's going to go down.
Sincerely, i have understood how to do OMEN in an easy way a week ago!😉😁
First step: the explorer have to be on the top of it, shooting down drones and weak points of the top level. Up there the only thing that can damage you are drones going towards you. But they aren't really much, 1/2... With that technique, you will destroy the upper top level very fast, without taking damage.
Another way to go up there, it can be that you positionate yourself at the center of it, before it raises up. 👌👍 I hope that this advice can help you
Ah, the weed. The boss that can be either a breeze or a complete nightmare depending on how the clam is positioned.
Shooting sprouts do massive damage and their spawn is not exactly too predictable.
The fact that wave may happen in the middle of the fight is also a problem - chaos is the worst enemy when dealing with the weed.
Driller can actually do pretty effective damage on the heart clam with the power drills as well!
Scout's Nuk17 pistols with explosive ammo does much more in a smaller time.
Reporting back on this, resupply pods can also damage the Heart Clam when it is open. With enough timing and luck, you can turn a slog into a buffet. I’d probably label this as a last-resort or a gimmick, and I only had it successful once on Hazard 3, but considering the potential, I wouldn’t discount it.
It's definitely an option, just risky haha
I would like to see BET-C, It's always so chaotic to fight it so it would be nice to know more, Also keep up the great content!
Hopefully have a Gunner with Elephant Rounds OC or the burst pistol with Lead Storm OC, Scout with the M1000, tbh anything with high Burst damage, a good but potentially good thing to do is power attack right as it puts the shield up
Alternatives for burst damage include scout's zukhovs with embedded detonators OC, or engineer's hyperpropellant, which are absurd boss-killers.
Dude this is an excellent video. Please make more.
Holy crap this quality is amazing
this video was very well put together, I'm looking forward to seeing more quality content from DRG
Great video for a fun enemy! Now if only I could find them easier, there's this one specific room I've seen multiple times in the salt pits where I saw tons of roots but it felt impossible to find the main body.
I think a video on omens sounds like a great idea!
I've had that before too, where the roots spawn but the heart clam itself is not present. I assumed it was hidden somewhere or just despawned for seemingly no reason because Hoxxes
Another note: setting the Sprouts on fire prevents them from being able to shoot at all.
This video will probably help in some capacity.
For a video on which to make, I'd say BET-C or Omen. You fight Dreads so often there's basically no point.
Love your content, brother. Rock and Stone in the heart.
Rock and Stone!
just fought a korlok on escort duty haz 4, we had one spare restock left after the ommoran heart, and we had to use it wisely. after the fight no one had ANY ammo left, so it was a mad sprint straight towards the drop pod avoiding bugs- luckily i was scout and no one got downed during the getaway
Haha, good times
i love these intros
That was a great intro honestly.
i remember having to deal with my first one just a few days ago, still early in game (JUST got my first promotion and got one.) the way it was placed made it EASY to kill, a wall next to it where i don't get shot at. killed it solo too
Very good guide, although I would have liked to see three additional points in there. Driller's flamethrower and cryo cannon can negate the sprouts entirely - a frozen and flaming sprout cannot shoot back at all. A competent driller can make the difference in a Tyrant fight by keeping the sprouts frozen or on fire. An important tactical consideration is when to open a Tyrant weed. When it first spawns, it will open when you have killed three sprouts. So if you are having trouble with one or two sprouts, you can kill them and safely ignore the rest or come back to it later. It also makes it easy to coordinate your first opening volley on the clam. Finally, although it is exceedingly rare, you can use a bulk detonator to one shot a tyrant weed. Just kill two sprouts, get the bulk extremely low on health, and kite it over to the clam. Pop the last sprout then finish off the bulk before running like hell. It's difficult, but depending on your team, it can be easier and more ammo efficient than killing the weed normally. I've got about 5 of those kills in about 1200 hours.
amazing vid
This channel is criminally under-viewed. I will do my small part to bring people here, especially if you continue to make videos of this caliber.
That means a lot man, thank you!
I wanna see the Omen event thing.
.
Also, When the new dreadnought types come out you should do the dreadnoughts then
Good point, why invest your time into a deep dive before they switch it up?
Also do we know when they hope to have the new dreadnoughts released?
@@aaronwilliams8887 i think late January
@@aaronwilliams8887 i think in update 33 so it should be soon
First time I ever saw one was in the same room as a dreadnought, idk who, but some one triggered the dreadnought when we started the weed fight, we ran out of ammo and nitra, while the weed was at 2/3rds. I still blame the gunner.
Yeah that's extremely FUBAR lol
Good to see your some uploading quality ass content again
great editing bro really pro and good narration - keep on making videos! It'd be cool to see the Omen Modular Exterminator explored in a vid!
Yeah, I think it would be fun to explore in the same way.
I’m my experience (I’m not a green beard but definitely not a grey beard) gunner is highly effective. Especially when using the Mini and the Revolver.
Picked up DRG about a week ago, and went in completely blind. My 1st encounter of the Korlok was in Dense Biozone, and where it was meant everything spawned on multiple levels so getting back to damage the core gave me less time to deal damage,I didn't know about the healing pod (since it spawned in a small coveree nook and didn't know to look for it) and it took me FOREVER. Then a Bulk Detonator started chasing me right after I finally killed it, so safe to say I hated these things until I learned that, while tough, I got super unlucky the 1st time
They've had a tendency to spawn with vertical layouts lately, such a pain to deal with
Driller can do an amazing job by freezing the sprouts. With good positioning and the aoe freeze he can shut down multiple at once, which makes the encounter woooo much easier.
Oh yeah, he's fantastic at locking them down, and freezing the healing pod even stops it from healing. He's just gotta rely on his team to help with direct claim damage sometimes.
if you shoot the projectiles with a plasma gun it causes a large plasma reaction that removes dirt/rock and your health.
Ive never really had all that much trouble with the KTW. I play on haz 4 typically and I rarely find myself dying when facing one. Still a useful guide tho, I never realized it was weak to melee damage
You get a bit of both I find, some people get it right away and take them down no problem and some teams REALLY struggle.
This is amazing, continue with the omen
Also Check the Area where Weed spawned on. Check if there’s a nearby room or any open terrain UNDERNEATH it. The Clam can spawn Pods and Sprouts through the walls and floor. While Sprouts can’t shoot you through walls, the Pods can heal the Clam THROUGH terrain. Drillers, please open up the area so your party can shot the damn Pods.
Ghost Ship really needs to fix this.
Yeah Drillers are such a boon with these things. They are sometimes the only way to make it winnable these days.
Wow this helped, fun and easy to understand. I would love to see videos on how to do machine events, i just got my first character promotion yesterday and i have no idea how the events are supposed to be done.
Definetly a cool video. Id like to have more videos about the bosses.
The trigger radius for them loves to be inconsistent. Sometimes you can go right up to it and other times it trigger from across the cave
