I think born ready is one of the best passives even when your weapons don't have a long reload time. It's not just about reloading weapons in 5 seconds, it's also about shooting both weapons while only reloading 1 of them(or sometimes neither). It's a good boost to sustained fire, which is a lot more tangible and less situational than most passive perks. (I know you basically said this, just repeating it because I think it's a bit undervalued by some.)

He does okay damage and as a last resort makes a good distraction. I find he works best on engineer as a sort of melee turret that follows you around and can give you some breathing room if you are caught with your trousers down giving you just enough time to place down a a sentry or just retaliate in general, Steve has saved my ass a few times and for that I love em.

Once you play scout a bit, you really won't ever need it. You can powerswing the pick to create ledges where you're looking to mine, making you self sufficient at any height and not requiring help from an engineer. Nitra veins typically can be stood upon, and even if they can't they only take one swing to break and create a foothold. Morkite takes one swing to break as well, meaning you can easily create footholds in morkite veins as well. Minerals typically stick out in a way you can just grapple on top of them, pause for a moment before breaking them to let grapple recharge, and then break them at the base and grapple to safety. Using an active perk slot on a perk that exists solely to account for your own mistakes seems wasteful in my opinion, scout seriously struggles when it comes to combat so it generally makes more sense to have perks that help in that field. (I didn't mention gold but even IF you wanted to mine gold, you can just powerswing as I mentioned above) I definitely think hoverboots is a crutch for greenbeards and nothing more.

With cryo-and temperature shock it is

about vampire, I think its also worth mentioning its synergy with berserker, allowing you to turn groups of bugs into health. As for zerk, i like it even only because it can allow you to murder an oppressor from the front if going behind it isnt an option, and can be used as a way to deal with groups of bugs without using up ammo if the map is poor in nitra or you are caught reloading. As for See You In Hell, its my preferred choice of "planning for failure" compared to Iron Will: multiple uses, works as an explosive on yourself (iron will may gring you up without aid, but doesnt remove any bug) and even if you dont die at all its not a completely dead perk. the extra damage often allows my retaliation to finish off a grunt that would have otherwise survived and make up more easily for the hit I took through Vampire.

Very good video, i’ve been wanting to get in haz 5 for a while and this is a big help

Cool video, thanks for taking the time to make it. A few bits to add, but one that I think it important if you do change your perks out dependant on environment - Beast Master with regenerative bugs is really powerful! If you get an Armoured Steve, he likely won't go down for the entire mission as after each fight, he heals back up. If you get a Slasher Steve, again he'll last an awful lot longer. I find it a super useful Perk of Regen Bugs is active for the mission.

Good review! Also i like the fact that i heard some Risk of rain 2 music in the background arround 18 minutes! :D

For deep pockets I'm one of those players who used it forever and it took a lot to break that habit. The thing that really helped was the addition of the waypoint on the laser, which made it possible to just mark the rest of the vein to come back to later without having to mentally track it the entire time you're fighting or something. Now I just have to do the same with hover boots on my driller.

You should have mentioned that Unstoppable allows you to sprint on snow in the Glacial Strata

These haz5 videos are very in depth and well done. I disagree with you on a handful of things, but that's just personal preference a lot of the time haha.

I run hover boots on scout specifically for situations where I want to fling myself 50m away from the enemy and have a guarantee Ill survive the landing. Everything else (general safety net, accessing nitra near the ceiling, stopping mid jump to be in grapple range of something higher, etc) are nice side benefits when they show up, but being able to safely and reliably relocate in the chaos of combat is a very tangible benefit.

I think there's a case for running Hover Boots on Driller. He's the only dwarf with no way of quickly traversing downward.

I haven't gone into haz 5 regularly yet but I have been doing ok on elite deep dives until the last stages. I don' tend to go down unless I try to play hero and protect people at my own detriment in bad situations, but the 3rd stage is where me (and often the driller too) start getting double digit downs and that royally sucks. I stumbled across your channel just the other day and decided to hang around. I tend to run dash for the reasons you specified, and iron will for my active perks. I just would feel too terrible if we're all down at the end of a mission (in my case, EDD) and they are all looking at me expecting me to get up, toss a shield and rez and I didn't have it. It's saved us a lot. I didn't actually know a lot of the changes they made to the passive perks and now I am trying several of those out too. I started in 2019 during early access before deep dives were even a thing so I got pretty set in my habits. I got burned out a few times over the years and came back again when they dropped the rival incursion update. Now haz 3 feels boring and I hang around haz 4 most often. It's challenging enough to make me work for it especially if my team isn't well seasoned yet. Haz 5 still kinda scares me since when I tried it years ago I got met with such terrible elitism and people would kick me for having the wrong weapons or perks even before we got going. I'm thinking I'll gear up for a run. I'm in your discord too so maybe I can find some good chums to help me get some haz 5 training. There's a lot of things I don't see in EDDs to know how they work yet. like machine events and prospectors and such.

I'm really hoping we get updated/new perks in season 3, about 60% of the current perks are barely usable compared to the top 40% and I've been sitting on perk points for quite a while with nothing to spend them on.

I find that hover boots is more useful now that sting tails can sometimes drag you into the sky

Thing I love the most about DRG is that even though there’s definitely a most optimal way to build your character, you’re never forced to do it that way. A problem most co-op games have nowadays is that at higher difficulties, players are basically forced into a meta which really limits how players get to play the game. Haz 5 missions aren’t impossible or even much more difficult with inefficient perks, and no one will kick you from the lobby for running a build that isn’t 100% optimal (unless you order leaf lovers before the mission, that is).

I have a question: does the heightened senses passive warning with the white sunshine at the top of the screen still happen when you have zero escapes left or no?

Great video! I recently started playing (about 80ish hrs currently), and this was super insightful! I will say, though, I think you missed a crucial piece of info for Hover Boots.

My take on "Git Gud" goes like this: Most of my content is a few small tips, guidance or direction to help with the overarching Git Gud objective. Outright saying Git Gud is implying that people already understand what they need to do to improve and just need the push to do it. In most events of the phrase being used in reference to games like dark souls, it's dismissive and unproductive because people don't know how to beat a boss or area. People know that there's better choices than HB, that just by playing a little better HB would be completely irrelevant, so the blatant use of Git Gud here is due to that.

@@AxisKronos The real meaning of it in the original context (DS) isn't condescending, though it is admittedly a bit oblique. It's for situations where there *isn't* a trick or secret method to do something, where the only way to overcome the challenge is to keep attempting it and practicing at it until you understand the different elements of a fight or area well enough that you go zen, stop thinking about them, and just do it. So someone asks "How do I beat [boss]," and there's no realistic way to cheese the fight and no gimmick? You tell them to git gud because "keep trying until you get better at it" is the only useful advice there is. It was also especially common as a response to very broad or vague questions where there wasn't a single short, specific answer. The DRG equivalent of the latter would be if someone said "I keep dying in haz 5, how do I stop dying?" There are so many different factors involved there that a proper answer could take hours of dedicated back-and-forth. Using it in reaction to specific questions with realistic brief answers (like "how do I get around not having hover boots?") is the exact sort of condescending response that it wasn't meant for.

Wow, almost missed this beauty

Primary purpose of Hover boots is not to protect yourself from accidental falls, but to to purposely make big jumps in clutch situations to save your team when you are on high ground.

Note that born ready on CSP may be detrimental in some cases. If you get your magazine down to 1 ammo, you can fire a charged shot for a fifth of the cost so it may be advantageous to not reload in some cases.

just a pretty important note on Thorns, and I'm not sure if it's a bug or intended: the Naedocyte Shockers, in my experience, swarm the person that's running thorns. So if a few of you are grouped together, and you have Thorns, for some reason they almost always come straight for you; given the internal cooldown on the perk, this is usually a very negative side effect and has made me remove it off most of my classes that were running it as even just half a group of them can decimate your shield & health within a second or two

Elemental insulation works against rockpox as well as spit ball infectors. It actually is pretty decent. Protects from friendly elemental damage too. Being someone who has been nuked and roasted by an engi and driller, it helps the headache a lot. It took me until 18minuets to realize that is Risk of Rain 2 music playing in the background. Which goes hand in hand with the fact I use the RoR2 damage tic sound in DRG. Steve's are actually great for distracting Bulks or Oppressors, heck I had a slightly distracted Oppressor get taken out single handed by a steve. Since you can add a new one once the old one is gone is great. You do get an audio que that Steve has passed. Guards make the best Steves.

Second wind is only rly useful if you're on a Morkite extraction mission and you gotta run through a bunch of tunnels, if it was just a flat speed bonus it would be the best perk in the game prolly.

I agree with most of this except hover boots. It's a auto-pick for every class for me. It's not just for when you "accidentally fall into a hole." Like Dash, it opens up new movement capabilities that weren't available to you before. How do you start picking people up when you're the only one still alive on your team? You need to create distance between yourself and the bugs. Being able to jump down into a big hole much faster than the bugs will create that distance for you. Hover Boots allows me to clutch more than field medic has, honestly. It opens up so much new opportunities on Scout. It lets you ride ziplines as Gunner very high up without any fear of being knocked down to your death, or allows you to freely drill about in the ceiling without having to worry about accidentally drilling yourself into a death from falling. Even on Engineer, sometimes you just don't have time to take out your platform gun when you find yourself falling. And you know what's better than using Iron Will to revive yourself? Not dying in the first place. Don't sleep on Hover Boots. After hundreds of hours of experimentation, I take Dash and Hover Boots on every class, they just provide too much value to pass up.

Born ready also strong if your primary doesn’t need a reload. Running Drak + Nuk on scout without embedded detonators I literally never press the reload key.

Hover boots can also help you when passing by molly chucks you into the other side of the cave with a power of thousand beards. I still have no clue why that sometimes happens

mixing vampire and iron will is an amazing combo to run id say, got out of a good few situations with that combo

Think I'm gonna start listening to the Con Air soundtrack while I play now

Born ready is great for me when I'm playing engi. I can't say how many times I forgot to reload my platform gun and try to fire it when falling and get caught in a reload. Saved me from a lot of fall damage.

Didn't think we wouldn't hear that Risk of rain 2 music but I did. I heard it

Deep pockets really is an addiction. I cant remember the last time I took it off but its really not bad

I tried to quit using deep pockets once but the moment I did the next mission had a crassus detonator when everyone had Pots of gold on an Aquarq mission. The gold was so far away that we spent 30 minutes just depositing.

realistically you spent 30 minutes instead of 25 depositing. hardly worth a perk slot and crassus dets are a trap anyways. Dont waste your time with them, especially if you are mining them by hand

Veteran depositor is good for Lead Storm on Gunner, if u make bunkers with the driller, or if u like standing next to your turrets as an engineer

Love the risk of rain in the background

When you were talking about Hover, you referenced using it only in terms of falling on accident, which I completely agree. That's a waste of a slot. I found Hover to have some really strong movement opportunities on Gunner, similar to Dash. There are tons of hover-jumps that non-Scout classes can benefit from, but Gunner specifically can really apply it. You can create space during a swarm, and if it starts to fail, bail to a lower level and start over immediately. Hover created that opportunity consistently and safely, in my experience. Dash doesn't do that quite as well for Gunner.

Elemental insulation also stacks with Friendly to reduce friendly fire from elemtal weapons like every driller's primary or the engineer's fatboy.

Love the background risk of rain music,the soundtracks could be swapped and still fit

Also the boneworks music is great

I never thought I’d hear someone say elemental insulation is inconsistent. It’s a constant 30% damage reduction no matter where you are, as long as you’re not getting hit with physical attacks.

Should've said the warning you had with deep pockets to thorns as well. It's all I use now on every class and now I get hurt too much by swarmers with CC builds.

As someone who prefers to casually play on Haz 4 a good majority of the time but done a good amount of EDDs and the occasional Haz 5, yeah, this list makes sense. I only ever take Deep Pockets on Scout, thought not always. Sure, it makes you sit in one spot for longer if there's a big enough vein, but being able to grab more then move can be pretty nice sometimes. Veteran Depositor can actually be decent on the final segment of Escorts if you get Molly to actually sit under Doretta assuming you sit on her, but it's still pretty situational. Shield Link I think is most valuable on Gunner as they're usually the least likely to be in a really weird spot to get to for the shield regen and sitting on objectives can help the team if they're sitting close; just a nice pick IMO. I can only see two excuses for Hover Boots: you're playing Scout without M1000 Hoverclock/Special Powder OR you're expecting to have to use so many ziplines over crazy caverns that you can't use a second as a safety on Gunner.

Berzerker and Vampire is a pretty fun combo

AxisKronos, l think dystrum only spawn on on-site refining and point extraction because it gives out an error that occurs in Molly (the mule) because the mule also is not in those two different types of missions.

I only bring hover boots on my driller cause I've had missions where I couldn't get into the drop pod safely other than that it for using dash and jumping off high places for shits and giggles. Other than that anything else would be better

Berserker is one of my Oh Shit tools. Equip your power attack for range and add Vampire, and then leap into the fray. You'll probably make it out alive and covered in bug guts. Probably. Usually.

Beast Master has the most significant team moral boast

And I thought I was the only one using hoverboots for mining high resources Being able to grab those high Aquarqs or weirdly placed nitra is a HUGE help Not always there is an engineer in your mission, and even if there is one, it's not guaranteed that they're anywhere near you. Maybe they're out doing their own thing, or you are in a weird position far from them

Veteran depositor's damage reduction sounds great if you have to wall bunker and need the DR

veteran depositor on repairing mule can be good or okay I guess, as long as the objective doesn't spawn in a tunnel it should be close enough to the drop pod if not make a small room for the mule

The Hover Boots perk is a godsend for me (in tandem) when using the Rocketjump overclock for Engi's Grenadelauncher; Allow me to explain: I have the Rocketjump technique perfected to a wopping 80% succesrate ; The other 20% are times where I miss-calculate my trajectory and slam into the rock crevasse below and past the point where I wanted to launch myself on top of. Here is where Rocketboots comes into play; I activate RB and shoot 1 or 2 platforms slightly below me, so it catches my fall before RB runs out - I can then safely hop on them without turning into a dwarf-pancake, deep down below. I then continue on my way by digging my way up, to the area I originally wanted to land on.

Nah id just mlg with the platforms while falling

Very good video

Second wind has exactly one real use on hazard 5, but it's a pretty good one. It makes extractions a breeze. Just don't shoot, and the slightly faster running makes just sprinting and jumping go from like 75% attack avoidance to 95%. That and also in a REAL pinch it lets you run right back through a small swarm without too much danger

13:50 It's also useful for people who use Hair trigger on the shotgun for scout but doesn't want to reload it immediately. I know it's actually faster to use hair trigger, reload, and shoot again as compared to quick fire ejector but I build my boomstick for one ammo mod and one damage mod. And I like to use it as a "get off me" or "stun that praetorian" or "squeeze in more damage" weapon. Just something I pull out and mag dump and then forget about it. Born ready is useful for weapons like that. Especially on scout where you are able to use just the grapple hook and still be doing stuff useful. Instead of reloading, then grappling away to mine nitra so I have a full mag to defend myself with. Just grapple and mine and if a slasher shows up I'm already armed. It's useful for almost every build. Just maybe not all engineer ones.

I'm in rehab for deep pockets and it's going well except I really wish I could carry more meds back to my room...
