playing DRG without any particle effects may be efficient but god is it lame

Imo, it's close to a necessity for modded lobbies but I draw the line with the weapons. I understand the terrain particles being super obstructive from explosions, collapsing terrain and whatnot but muzzle flashes shouldn't be that bad right?

Where are your particle effects dude?

Hate to say it especially because everyone else already has, but I don't think I've seen DRG gameplay as unsatisfying as not having attack feedback and particles. Reduced entities/effects would DEFINITELY make sense but this is just kinda hard to watch. Apart from that though, your gameplay's nice and it's good to see someone else showing off the new OCs! There's not too many videos on them as of yet, so starting to see what builds people are agreeing on is really cool.

Enjoyed your gameplay!

man, i used to underestimate LUREs, thinking why would i distract when i can just kill, but seeing this video im startin to think they may be necessary for haz5A to keep the heat off of you. im still sticking to shredders for haz5 and lower, but if im goin haz5A im seriously considering lures instead

I used to be the same way, I just didn’t see the point. But players better than me recommended them, so I tried them out. Once I realized that they do have killing power, you just have to work with them to do so. But that’s not to say shredders are unusable. They provide a slowdown on enemies they’re attacking. In addition, players like emctwo and my friend @DoomControlDRG use them at a very high level. But I like the little dance LUREs do, plus the insane utility. What I’m getting at here is that if you really enjoy using something you can find ways to make it work. Just gotta lab it out and practice. Sorry for the kind of preachy last part but I hope you find it helpful. Thanks for watching!

@@werl_01 see that's the thing, after watching this video i tried labbing shredders in haz5 with tougher enemies modifier 2, and they just didn't feel like they did anything. i think that ordinarily in haz5 the damage they do is non-negligible enough that they can adequately help with managing a swarm, but with tougher enemies 2 they suffer the "steeve problem" where they only help locking down a few targets, while the rest of the swarm is barreling towards you. also doesn't help that you can only have 5 shredders out at any given moment. i'm certain i'll be using LUREs in haz5A now. edit: just tried LUREs on haz5A and tbh i think i fell in love they're so good, in fact they're so amazing during the corestone event i'm considering taking them regularly now

@@TheMightyDozen I agree with you for the most part. I generally run them when I need something to take care of flying swarmer-esque enemies, but there is something to be said for the slowdown they inflict. In addition, I think they are actually quite similar to LUREs in that they require some babysitting (i.e. killing Praets and such). But they are quite a bit weaker than LURES. (Also don't tell anyone, but LUREs actually got buffed... I don't have the numbers and this is purely anecdotal, but they survive Exploder explosions now. I'm 99% sure that's new.)

Do you even notice much a difference between this difficulty and normal haz 5

I certainly do. I play 7x2 Deep Dives and Haz5++’s bug speed is only 3% slower than Haz7’s. Additionally, Haz5++ damage taken multiplier means you take similar damage to Haz7p2 on 1p scaling. I’d be lying if I said this was easy for me.

⁠@@werl_01Wow. And I (as someone who hasn’t played a modded difficulty) expected a vanilla difficulty past haz 5 to be underwhelming for 6x2 players. I had no idea the max difficulty on haz 5+ is closer to haz 7x2.

@@elias0240 The sentiment expressed around my friend group is that it's definitely hard, but for all the wrong reasons. The 2x vulnerability combined with the enemy speed (attack and movement) leaves no room for error. It's not fun to just get insta-killed by a group of grunts that you didn't hear coming. And in the words of Reggie Fils-Amie, "If it's not fun, why bother?" At risk of sounding pretentious, I have to say I can't recommend this difficulty in its current state... but I have faith in GSG to retool it to make it fun, even when you lose. P.S. Definitely try some modded, if you're looking to spice up your gameplay experience. Even getting good at 5x2 will leave you able to carry any Haz5 lobby with ease. They tell you everything works on Haz5, but what they don't tell you is everything works on higher difficulties too, if you practice and have good build sense (i.e. can the build take care of shredders/naedocytes, grunts, large targets, and stationaries?) Stop by one of my lobbies if you happen to see one! (Usually the name is something like: Chill 6x2 (Greenbeards welcome!))

@@elias0240 Hello, I'm just adding to this conversation that I DID MY MATH WRONG, enemies move 22% FASTER (1.51 speed multipler vs 1.29) than Haz 7 and enemies do TRIPLE their base damage. Wowee. Guess I should go back to math class...

Download the Refinery Pipe QoL mod, it definitely helps a lot in being efficient the way you played.

If it's not difficult, then please tell me which mod removes all particles, thanks in advance

Very nice run! Another comment in favor of no particles. The game is so much cleaner this way. Are the mods updated to the newest update? Some outdated mods have caused crashes for me so I'm hesitant to try now. Also, what overclock did you like to use with the shotgun before the new one?

I liked Stunner. Some mods have been updated but the general rule of thumb is if it hasn’t been changed in the update then it’s probably safe to use.

Yo just commenting so i can disparage the people complaining about missing particle effects. I actually like it and have the same type of modded setup. I find drg to be noticeably messier with all the effects they have, and at haz 5+ its no better. Also, my god tier pc chugs loud as well with basically no real graphical improvements with max settings so its preferable for me to get unlimited fps with dogwater settings.

there was one comment before me, but i dont see it
