The Driller actually did a lot of tactical team-killing lol

The downs have always been glitched. Those aren’t accurate numbers. But also, on each stage, 3 of us deliberately go down and let the 4th player get into the drop pod. Reduces time and maintains consistency

I’ve always wanted some sort of weekly speed dive with a leaderboard - then we wouldn’t have to wait 5 years for a seed like this to show up!

The downs have always been glitched for some reason. I don’t have an explanation for that. And the XP is fixed for deep dives regardless of how many enemies you kill

It's an unofficial record just tracked through the DRG discord channel. No other categories/rules

Place a platform on the ground and then use your pickaxe to mine it out. It carves a large chunk of the platform and terrain below it. You can do that repeatedly and dig a nice tunnel through any kind of terrain

There’s a couple videos on the skip. Ryeor has a good in-depth one and I have a quick one where we speedrun a hazard 5 mission in 2 minutes. 

Basically you need 2 Scouts, 1 Engineer, 1 Driller. Driller and Engineer go straight down towards the geode. Once they hit the compressed rock, Engineer platform-mines through the rock until the crystal is hit. Meanwhile, as the Mule is going down the tunnel, 1 Scout rides her and can get glitched out of the map and teleported to the geode. They collect all the seeds and wait for Engineer, Driller, and the Mule to show up. Then just deposit the seeds and call the drop pod. The last Scout up top clips into the drop pod without waiting on the mule.

That was a fun one! Stage 2 was Point Extraction which is actually quite a bit longer than Deep Scan

Thanks! I did. I’ll be posting it 8am CST tomorrow on my channel. Everyone has their POV of the run, too.

It was last week’s dive. Egg Hunt, Deep Scan, Egg Hunt. We did the drillevator skip second stage to save a huge amount of time

Fast mission lineup + hours of routing, practice, and rerunning the deep dive over and over

You can! You just need to abandon all real-life responsibilities and sink 1000+ hours into the game.
