Some tips from a 6k hour driller:
buy all the weapon upgrades, they all have their uses (even the T4 colette ones)
buy all the armor upgrades, it gives you health just for having them unlocked (the best armor loadout is: 3/2/1/3, same for all classes)
there are exactly 2 ways to build your C4: max ammo (2/1/1/3) or max damage (3/1/2/3); always use rock mover, you'll miss it when you need it.
all the throwables are good, axes are gooder
learn how to axe cancel; thank me later
you can use an axe to place a C4 mid-air, provided you aren't running volatile compound on the C4
your drills can be used to block projectiles from spitballers, instakill jellyfish, and even instabreak the falling rocks on escort missions (provided you have better than 60fps). try using your drills for more than just digging.
With the drills there are 3 ways to build them: Max Ammo (3/1/1/1), Max Speed (2/1/1/1), and Cryo (1/1/1/3) only use the cryo drills with the cryo cannon.
learn how your drills work; Drilling in the name of has an excellent video on this topic ( th-cam.com/video/0zOLHQEFLXI/w-d-xo.html )
use the drills to mine minerals, your team will love you
your secondary weapons are all meant to compliment your primary weapons; look for ways to combo them, it will make you much deadlier
Rock and Stone Miner. Karl would be proud.
thanks!
Doesn't max speed on drills not work due to your walking speed or sth?
@@ysgramorssoupspoon2261yeah it doesn’t, i think it’s even mentioned in the linked video
6k hours. Crazy you. Rock & Stone!
@@ysgramorssoupspoon2261there's some uses in missions with rich atmosphere
Dont blow up oil. Drill away the rocks so the oil chunks fall in one spot.
This is very smart I will do this from here out!
How much time does that take in comparison?
Honestly if it’s close enough to reach with the C4 it’s probably negligible to drill or C4. Depending on high hazards you might consider EPC mining extremely quickly really high up shale or bust imho
That’s a fucking thing!?!?
You can do this on crassus bulks too. Clear away the back and it all pops in one place. Same on any mineral
Builds shown:
Flamethrower - 0:24
Freezing heavy build - 13:31
Corrosive sludge pump - 20:51
Thanks for the info!
Driller tip: you can create climbable vertical shafts. Just look up at 85 degrees and spin while you jump. You'd be surprised at how fast you can climb. This is great for getting pesky resources and bombing the caretaker.
ill have to try this out
Been playing for 2 days now and the spiral mining works like a charm. Switching to driller and trying this now thank you lol.
14:14 cold radiance isn't just "more cold". it's a 4m radius that cools down bugs by 60/s. that is enough to literally instafreeze any normal sized glyphid. enough to freeze a breeder in 2-2,5 seconds and enough to freeze a dreadnought in about 3 seconds. cold radiance is a flat 60/s freeze which doesn't scale with your freezing power. meaning your cold radiance will deal the same amount of freeze if your crycannon had 5 freeze power or 10 power.
this is also why tuned coolder kinda sucks. tuned cooler ads 1 freezing power at the cost of slower charge up time, which is very noticable, and slower repressurizing.
if your goal is to freeze bugs at the most optimal rate the clean overclock "improved thermal efficiency" is your best bet. it gives you more ammo and a much longer time before needing to repressurize.
an extra tip, combine cryocannon with heavy hitter EPC. this will make EPC shots deal 120 dmg against frozen bugs, assuming you took the dmg mod in t1. if you took the ammo mod instead it'll deal 96 dmg, which is still crazy.
21:18 just 1 more thing about this overclock. hydrogen ion additive takes your base 35.2 dot DPS to 37.2 DPS. and yes, that's only a 2 dps increase. and no, it's not multiplicative, just a flat 2 dps increase. i don't know who at ghost games thought this would be helpfull, but here we are. the slow down does increase from 35% to about 45% so that's a nice increase though. imo not worth ever taking especially as the balanced and unstable overclocks are more versatile and fun.
15:05 3x for everything that isn't a dreadnought. 2.5x for dreadnoughts.
"but it is much much damage" will forever be my favorite line.
@13:20 I think the bulk in the 1st mission was just far enough away for Dottie to not get hit by the main explosion, maybe caught the edge of the one of the explosive projectiles that get launched from the bulk. You *can* blow up a bulk 1 meter away from Dottie and she'll be fine though. She's 100% immune to *all* damage briefly after getting repaired to 100% health, so if a bulk is gonna blow beside her, shooting her yourself to get her under 100%, then immediately repairing can work. Odds are good that you'll get taken out by the boom though, but better that than Doretta! Also, bulks chase dwarves, not the dozer, so splitting up to see which person it's aggro'd on is a good strategy to lead it away. Gotta have a coordinated team to do that though.
Always fun to combo hyperprop with frozen status. Love when I bring it and a driller has cryo.
My go-to for dread missions (when I dunno what I'll have for teammates) for driller is 1, 3, 2, 2, 1 volatile impact mixture goo. The freedom to just spam regular shots at dreads in the face to keep their butt pointed at your teammates while still doing very solid damage to them is great. The slow duration isn't super long, but if you're regularly hitting the dread it doesn't matter too much and that helps keep you and teammates. Easily deals with regular grunts and such too.
Fun video, rock and stone miner!
Yeah when i was watching it back in editing I saw that what happened was our gunner had well placed shield that made the bulk path back up the hill away from dottie at the last moment which was clutch. I know about the invulnerability when repairing to full and I was kinda hoping that I would have had the chance to show it off in that situation but it didnt come down to that lol. Ive never pulled it off in the heat of battle tho.
Ill give that goo Loadout a go cause I am not super confident in my build.
To the bone!
Did I hear a rock and stone??
Great video man, this will definitely help me in my decision of which class to main :)
I am new to DRG & immediately knew that driller is the best class that a game could ever make, my flamethrower always running out of ammo pissed me off so thank you very much for this.
Thank you for making these videos. I'm always looking for DRG content, especially with tricks like the clearing line of sight.
Just started playing driller and getting good with him, this video helps, thank you!
Tip: doretta gets invincible for a few seconds after being repared to 100%, so if you manage to pull it off you can make it survive bulk explosions and other things
based on how you use the satchel charge, I would suggest taking the ammo bags and/or radius instead of damage. In the first mission, for example, you used satchels to terraform and "mine" oil shale. But when the oppressor showed up, you went for a pickaxe power attack. I don't think it's "wrong" to use the satchel that way, but you've set your satchel up poorly for the job you use it for. Your bonus damage didn't impact the mission at all.
Absolutely wild that this just came out when I needed it
The freeze build is amazing!
The sludge pump charged shot can be fired with a single ammo in tank despite costing 4-5 normally
I should have included that! Good look!
I would suggest the yellow overclock for bigger pools for your corrosive sludge is nice. Turns your sludge into sticky flames
Jesus the engi in the second mission, I need his build. I do tons of damage but he outDPS me by a mile
bro you could hear in my reaction in the video that i was dumbfounded lmao. Engi is my most played by far and ive never shredded a dread like that
@@brandinorulesI'm looking forward to the engineer veraion of this video! This was super useful
Still don’t know his build…
Hyper propellant PGL
Build is probably
21X12
Just not sure about the T3 mod
I sent this to my friend who just started playing the game with me and he mains driller, he said he was greatful that I found someone who knows what they are doing.
Man i just found your channel yesterday and watched your engi vid. I main driller and was hoping you had a vid for it but didnt. Came back today and here it is! Perfect timing 😂 love the vids
Seems like my timing with this one was spot on lol you aren’t the first one to tell me that!
Great vid. Information. demonstration. highlevel craziness. No bullshit
Beautiful dread fights. That engi with you was a team player
I recommend having the heat buildup on the ecp when running sludge pump to set the sludge on fire
Thank you for showing us your Flamethrower build. Flamethrower is my favorite weapon but I always thought that it is weakest driller main weapon. You changed my mind. Rock & Stone!
I used to feel that way too till some random guy came in my lobby with this one and blew my mind
For the flamethrower T5 upgrade: Heat Radiance is much better for sticky fuel builds. Targets Explode only works when bugs die from DIRECT DAMAGE, meaning spraying them directly with the weapon. It doesn’t process on enemies that die from the sticky fuel DOT
Actually targets explode would likely be better. A tiny spurt is enough to kill swarms of naedocytes, and on occasion when theres a grunt on 1hp the same tiny 1 fuel spurt can be enough to proc it
You likely won't get much use from heat radiance since you really shouldnt be hosing down flames with Sticky Fuel
@@windbeneathmywings4884 yeah I get that but the problem is most of your finishing blows (the exact damage tick that secures a kill on an enemy) won’t be from the direct damage of the flamethrower. 99% is from sticky flames so you’ll get practically zero use out of it
i have play 1 hour of deep rock galactic but i still watch tips video. rock and stone
I don't know if it is 100% true but I like using freeze and microwave with blistering necrosis as I believe the necrosis weak points also apply to frozen and can chain each other.
The leech section. Bosco can be a lamp if you laser target the terrain/ceiling. Target with bosco to kill when you see them next.
How do you do caretaker solo with driller? For a bit more context: got it for the first mission on an assignment and I’m trying out driller, said driller is lvl 2 or so, while I’ve gotten the other 3 to 25 with engine being promoted, so all I have is the lvl 1 upgrades for the thrower and subata
Also, does the flamethrower (and the others, really) do weakpoint damage?
If you need light in the caves especially high up in ceilings and you playing Solo just use the pointer and send Bosco up there to light up the area look for things
If the wiki is correct, freezing enemies wont increase the engi's grenade launcher damage since it isnt "direct damage" and freezing only increases direct damage. What freezing does however is "disable" armor so there is no negative multiplier and obviously freezing the enemy in place which makes it easier to not miss lol
Hyper propellant is mostly direct dmg
ROCK AND STONE!!!!
Is it safe to use c4 for minerals? I always worry it deletes a large majority of them in the blast.
Yes it’s safe! All the minerals will still be there but they may just get scattered
Thank you so much, i have always loved driller but i can just do way better on scout or gunner
I’m so glad you found it helpful! You got it now! Rock n stone!
why aren't you running the drill mod that cools drills when killing enemies? it helps a lot at least on cryo builds, you can clear a huge crowd of frozen enemies lol
Rock and stone
what mod do you use that shows your kills on the bottom?
Live mission stat tracker!
Thank you very much! Rock and Stone!@@brandinorules
I like how the thumbnail isn’t like the other ones bc driller doesn’t have a beard lol
Any specific reason you use the dmg numbers mod?
I’m a risk of rain 2 fan and it makes me feel at home lol
@@brandinorules
Lol
What all mods do you use? Well, if you don’t mind I mean
@@ocomolinaehain1795 Here is my top 10 th-cam.com/video/9zf2knQ12yo/w-d-xo.html
17:34 what was the engineer using
Lol I know right he did so much. I’m not sure 100% but I think it’s a full auto and mag size build for the warthog
Grenade launcher with hyper propellant
How come the fossils are glowing on that dreadnaut mission??
Brighter objects mod!
I’m confused why you mention @14:26 your EPC build is not well done. The way you have it built is considered optimal in all difficulties, including modded difficulties such as Haz 6 + double enemy spawns (“Haz6x2”), and Haz 7. And it’s not just the best way to build an EPC, it’s considered the best secondary weapon/overclock/perk setup in the entire Driller kit by a large margin.
I don't really like thin containment field for the epc. I understand that it takes practice to hit it consistently, but even then it just feels like a waste of ammo. I would much rather go with the burning nightmare to get that temperature shock with the cryo cannon.
Also, for the sludge pump I like going the disperser compound or goo bomber special overclock and maxing the stats of the puddles since direct damage and driller's primaries don't go together and also that's subata's purpose.
Otherwise, great video!
Thin Containment Field(TCF) is never a waste of ammo. It takes more shots to directly kill a trijaw (not including misses), than it does to TCF (plus TCF kills multiple mactera with every blast, meaning its even more ammo efficient). 2) You lose the ability to mine roof minerals/aquarq/eggs in a timely manner (yes you can perma ping the wall and dig to it then mine it, but that takes usually over 60secs waiting for drills to cool down not factoring in if the mineral is a 2 pickaxe per unit. Compared to shooting 1 or 2 tcf shots and walking on). 3) You know what makes TCF ammo efficient? is the ability to mine nitra anywhere in the cave and have the next resupply quicker. 4) you know what else makes it more ammo efficient, the less time spent in the caves, less time needing ammo to fight, stops the viscous cycle of spending time finding ammo to kill the bugs that spawned in the time it took you to find that ammo. 5) the thin containment field out DPS's the subata, Praetorian at 1x weakpoint at 1200HP requires on average 40 subata rounds! 40! thats a lot of finger clicks, and ammo, and time to reload and shoot all the shots, giving 3.5 pratorian killing potential. Compared to TCF w/ Plasma burn needing 3 TCF's giving us a 6.7 praetorian killing potential, in half the time of the subata, and with way more flexibility.
Idk how you can ignore all of these factors, seems pretty ammo efficient to me
@@M1911pap been using tcf again for some time after I posted that comment, and my opinion has changed but not by much. Your points are valid, but it takes time and practice to use tcf consistently. For the time I used it I have wasted a lot of tcf shots because I shot it a bit too early or too late; I remember I once used about 20% of the ammo for some nitra on the ceiling. I'd rather just let Bosco mine the ceiling minerals in solo or other dwarves in public.
Subata, yeah, I gave it a bit too much credit, since I only use it with the sludge pump for the explosion, and I deal with big targets with axes.
Also, macteras, it's kind of hard to hit more than one with tcf since spawns and bundles usually scatter once they reach you, and I rather just freeze them (if I have the cryo cannon). I did manage to kill two macteras with one tcf shot once, though it was a lucky shot and I couldn't do it again.
I have realized tcf's efficiency, but I'm still not gonna use it, I don't have time to learn it, and shooting a burning nightmare projectile through a bunch of frozen glyphids is way too satisfying.
@@oneonlykiha I will say the satisfaction of being able to use it efficiently, is a big draw, like its a flashy skill to have. I get the mactera scattering can be annoying, it is, but better than them all be mid shoot animation I guess.
I tried Burning Nightmare, and OMG is it fun to use. I found out it can 1 shot sniper turrets, so thats really cool. Also fuck the Subata, me and all me homies hate the Subata XD
R&S brutha!
Like this format.
Also the thumbnail don't match the last video, kinda confusing.
Driller doesn’t have a beard so it makes it a bit hard to make a green to grey comparison lol
@@brandinorules Just give him scout/egi's beard.
Kills 2 teammates in the first 2 seconds of the video XD
Classic driller behavior
you haven't learned how to build builds in 400 levels and don't know about thermal shock, nice
Shock is not better than the dmg boost from ice. Thanks for the engagement on the video tho!
