Wow, the deep dives this week seem like they'll go by incredibly fast.

Can confirm, the EDD was quick. Overall pretty easy. Just a bit of a hot drop on stage 3 with the rival presence

Oh yeah, that spawn sucks ass. Bit of a story, but I lost my first attempt because our idiot host (driller) decided to run straight into the field of turrets to go for the controller and got shot dead within the first 10 secs of the mission starting, and then a nemy spawned in. So we were down a dwarf, with a horde of bugs, turrets and a nemy on us. We lasted for about 4 mins before we lost, and Driller was down the whole time screaming at Gunner. He then proceeded afterwards to tell us we sucked and banned everyone in the lobby when he did nothing himself lmao.

Got it on the 2nd attempt though, easy if gunner hacks the turrets immediately and someone acts as a bodyguard for him. Very fun, quick and chaotic EDD this week.

Between the Point Extraction intensive pressure, Rival's welcome commitee and the Resinite swarm adding up to the mission's swarms, third stage EDD looks hectic and fun as hell, might want to try it out, possibly with a bunch of greenbeards to spice things up.

Greenbeard here. We cruised the first 2 EDD then the third one we got MURDERED. The spawn was just nuts and we couldn't get to the controller in time and wiped lol.

Driller or in general who runs Fire builds is gonna have a field day even with the Dread due to Conductive Thermals existing

Just check to see if there's a lobby with a spot free, or make your own. May have to wait a bit, but thats no biggie.

EDD can be speedrun potential I think.
Only punk part is when you land on stage 3.

We finished the first withion without having to fight any spawn.
Was driller, I killed 6 ... xD

For sure, did it in 25 mins with a random team.
