@[Secret Name] For real, I play how I want to play and if you’re not prepared at all at any time to fight the boss you’re simply not ready to play the mission at that difficulty or that mission in general. I say this because most of the time I have to solo most of the bosses because my teammates no matter how much time they prepare are not prepared. I no longer waste time wondering if anyone is ready. I have other stuff to do and I’ll just solo it again if I have to so we don’t waste too much time.

Also, shockwave can start detonator plants. Which can crush the entire team when youre standing in a large field..

Healthy also synergizes so well with resupplier perk and the red rock blaster beer, which is the best buff imo.

Bigger shield needs an upgrade if it's going to contend with healthy in haz 5. To get any sort of greater value out of it you need to have your shield broken 5 times before you heal, or 4 times for an equal value. Considering that big hits can down you from max shield in 2-3 hits it needs to be like 7-10 extra shield to be worth it.

@axiskronos If they shield bonus was +10, would you choose it over healthy? what about +15?

Breathing room has never ever saved me, but i can give you a countless amount of examples when shockwave saved me from shockers and swarmers, ESPECIALLY on scout. Thorns cannot replace shockwave. You can easily kill entire swarm of shockers by doing exacting nothing while taking almost no hits on main healthbar, saving you a lot of time and ammo. A must have on M1000 builds

Great video man, look forward to the rest of these. I like that you actually properly went through each upgrade and backed up what you were saying with numbers

Bigger mineral bag, while still useful for the extra carrying capacity, was made less good after the devs made a slight QoL change to mining. When mining a mineral while near capacity, you always get enough to fill to capacity, with any excess dropping. This helps even the scales in T1, but I still take bigger mineral bag because 1 second in combat, while potentially helpful, isn't enough to make me bother swapping off on the upgrade tier that matters the list for armor.

It's worth noting that 5 of these mods don't do anything in shield disruption, and since I don't like changing my loadout all the time I go with bigger bags, healthy and breathing room. Even ignoring shield disruption, I think they are the best mods anyway.

@@fynii9478the fact it arbitrarily takes away a core function and heavily nerfs the Gunner specifically IS a flawed design. It’s manageable to be sure but the core concept is flawed because it can be encountered randomly in deep dives and suddenly your gear isn’t working the way it should. No other mutator arbitrarily says one class loses a key utility. There’s no mutator that removes scouts grapple, Engineer platforms, Drillers drills, Or makes terrain unbuildable for turrets, immune to satchel charges, or snuff out the flare gun. Gunner’s shield restoration effect is a huge gameswing and they should’ve had the shield generator give temporary shields that expire when you leave the effect. Gunner’s ziplines are already largely irrelevant compared to driller tunnels or engineer platforms.

The shields mods desperately need a buff.

Great video! I'd just like to add- invulnerability doesn't prevent you from being grabbed, as I've found out the hard way. Applies for both breathing room / iron will, so be careful miners

Static discharge combined with unstoppable (reducing slashers slow) is actually VERY helpfull. It allows you to kite away from an otherwise instant death situation (if you don't have dash up). Breathing room is a lose less option, only really good on Dreadnought missions.

@@get1an1name Everything I said was right. Dreadnought missons actually have more risk when rezzing. Especially twins. Static Discharge makes sure you DON"t go down in the first place in all other encounters, much more valuable. A much more important objective than your dumb lose less option. You'd probably take "See you in hell" with that dumb mindset. But you no what? Rezzing people is a poor tactical decision. They are better of as living lures until you killed all the bugs. People rezzed with 2-5% HP are fucking useless and them grabbing ammo for HP is even more useless. Being immune for 3 more seconds doesn't change any of this. You have iron will, if you die anymore, you're a joke.

@scorpion563

I see the argument for static, though frankly I think the time gap is more useful especially when reviving people, because yes, in most games people go down, and when someone makes a saving throw with iron will, those 6 seconds also let you res a teammate and dash away.

Great breakdown! Really looking to the rest of your Haz 5 series!

I always take 3213 for armor. DRG is the type of game where you'd have to invest an excessive amount/magnitude of stat increases into the shield mechanics to make them meaningful, and the game doesn't give you enough opportunities to do that. Also considering that all of your expensive shield upgrades can and will be rendered moot by one mission modifier.

Don't have Lethal difficulty unlocked yet, but this was still beneficial to watch due to the explanations. Looking forward to your next video on Active / Passive Perk choices.

Oh damn, I didn't know the "stun burst" was actually the same electrified effect as Stubby/LOK-1

I've been playing roughly since before the Doretta Mission was introduced so start of year three and into four. I dont like hazard 5, 4s smaller hordes can be a little overkill. I'm typically inebriated when playing, so hazard 3 sits at that nice balance of bugs leaving you alone for main objs, horders, any materials can be grabbed but the waves are bigg enough with 2 players to warrant strategy. Personal, only done 3 Elite deep dives. Platinum level dwarfs. I've grinded my way to platinum literally playing hazard 3. That's why I love this game so fucking much. At any skill level you are progressing, thats a beautiful balance.

@@Jim26D definitely look for the "Hipster overclock(H)" for the grand, (H) turns it into a actually M1 grand lots more ammo too "Embedded Detonators"(ED) for the Zukovs, people recommend the cyro minlets as a alternative way for cyro in your kit. BoM is th best for the assault rifle in terms of over all benefit in a team setting. From personal trials, you can bypass health gated enimeies or boss fights with ED and cyro nade combo. Damn near 2 phase a Hive Guard. Cryo nade can (EDs) make horder fights faster as scout, they stop moving and those (EDs) will half hit it frozen with a full clip, Main combo-ing is with your cryo nade can cause alot of delayed damage on dreadnoughts. The plasmas carbine, I personally like the "Aggressive venting" if youre backed into a corner with too many bugs throw a cyro nade on the ground, and over charge your weapon to damn near kill all frozen enimeis, if not, bigger targets take 200 free damage from going to a frozen to on fire state i believe. Really cool and unique playstyle comparatively to the rest of the overclocks. Your shotty i like the more clean over cloaks. Any the red for it arent the best, but "Stuffed Shells" help clear those tanker targets in the wave faster plus more pellets up to 9. Since stun, is based off how many pellets you have. You run higher chance to stun and more pellets with the over clock. Double dipping into the games systems.

That so called "stun" in tier 4 would be useful for weapons what deal additional damage to electrified targets, but thats so niche and hard to utilise properly (without taking unnessesary damage to your health pool) so i would still stick to breathing room just for the consistency.

I use static discharge on Scout with the Bullets of Mercy OC and on Engy with the Stuby when configured for electricity damage; but in no other circumstance.

That is good wisdom.

Badass vid.

I really wish they'd go and revisit these mods. Healthy and Breathing Room are just objectively the best mods on their tier. Leaving you with very little room to choose, one a piece of equipment that could potentionally have very impact full and varied mods..

I hope as well but these things are fundsmentals of this game so this'll be reason to scratch own heads for devs for sure. imho tier 4 mods are poorly designed exept for the breathing room, they add nonsencial benefit. buffing them could make them overpowered. static discharge looks cool, literally damage out of nowhere but it comes with it price and its inconsistent so I'll better stick with breathing room

My go to perks are Born Ready and Sweet Tooth. Use those 2 on every class. Sweet Tooth cuz it helps keep me topped off on HP. Without robbing too much red sugar from my team. And not needing a re supply. And Born Ready just because I like it. Even though reloading isn't an issue on any class except maybe Gunner.

I run electricity, in 3rd tier, as I try not to go down at all in haz 5, and on my engi, I rarely do (maybe 1 or 2 times a mission, often none) But shields break a lot, that electricity can often slow enemies enough for me to sprint away, and since I run stubby, I get extra damage on electrified enemies, so it can also just help me drop whatever broke my shields :D

New to the game. Honestly thought it would stun enemies so I'd been taking that...

I simply don't play shield disruption missions because they suck ass

7:23 late comment but the Resupplier perk lets you resupply 1.5x faster not 2x, the default time it takes to resupply is actually 3.75s, so the perk saves 1.25s, which is still pretty good. This means the corrected chart is No BR, no Re: 3s - 3.75s (updated) No BR, Re: 3s - 2.5s BR, no Re: 6s - 3.75s (updated) BR, Re: 6s - 2.5s This means if you choose to run Breathing Room on your armour without Resupplier, you still get about 2s of wiggle room, twice as much as depicted in the original chart. Not running both BR and Resup is also not as bad as originally shown but it still takes longer than you are invincible for, so taking BR is still recommended.
