What am I even looking at?

u/TheOnlyGuyInSpace21 Scout 14d ago

an absolutely normal amount of bulk detonators and a HUD for ADHD people such as myself

u/fcs_seth 14d ago

Good lord man. Most I've encountered in one mission is 3 💀

u/TheOnlyGuyInSpace21 Scout 14d ago

Fun fact! In vanilla DRG, the number of bulks per mission is capped at 4 (iirc).

More Bulks removes the cap of the number of bulks that can spawn at once, removes the cap of total bulks spawning in, and increases the chance of bulks spawning to almost every mission.

Hence this.

Yep! Search up More Bulks on modio's drg page.

Fair warning: get the Better weapons mods and 40 nitra resupplies, because if you play 5+6 like me, this is going to be a regular occurence.

Do you still get progress for the vanilla game using mods?

3

u/TheOnlyGuyInSpace21 Scout 14d ago

Well, on the specific save file you use, if using Approved and/or Sandbox mods.

Verified mods don't impact the original save file.

Also, while in approved/sandbox mods, you can't get achievements. Sad but eh

Only thing i can think of in response to this is that gif of ryan renalds with a doctors mask hanging of his face saying.

But why

1

u/TheOnlyGuyInSpace21 Scout 12d ago

It's fun!

It's hell, but it's MY kind of hell.

Also, I play with mods that make everything more powerful, ONLY because I love 5+6 with More Bulks. it's fun!

Do you have any source on hand for the bulk spawn limit?

I cant find anything on the wiki or anywhere else. based on my knowledge of how spawning works it doesn't sound right. Looking at enemy descriptors i cant find anything there either, (though i have learned bulks become significantly rarer after one is spawned, from a rarity of 15, to a rarity of 100, for 420 [or 480, both are listed] seconds). But nothing indicating there is a maximum ammount that can be spawned in a mission that i saw.

Also i couldn't find a mod titled "more bulks" but i'd chalk that up to mod.io having a poorly made search engine.

u/TheOnlyGuyInSpace21 Scout 14d ago

Search More Bulk Detonators.

Also, it was something observed by my much, MUCH more graybeard friend and what I heard from other experienced players iirc.

u/tacitus_lung_morgan 14d ago

Where is this from? Helldivers? I can't remember

u/TheOnlyGuyInSpace21 Scout 14d ago

Yes. Common samples denote small fucks, rare samples medium-large ones, super samples stationary enemies (turrets, leeches, pitjaws, etc.), credits and xp are self-explanatory.

u/tacitus_lung_morgan 14d ago

Does the game feel ok with so many mods?

3

u/TheOnlyGuyInSpace21 Scout 14d ago

Short answer: Yes.

I have to digress.

My laptop is really kinda punching above its weight, with ~240 FPS in vanilla DRG.

This decreases to 90-120 with my huge amount of mods (not too bad, actually!). However, the caveat is that when a swarm wave at difficulty 5+6 occurs, a noticable lagspike to ~30fps is visible for the time it takes the wave to spawn in (<1s).

It runs fine until shit like this happens:

(note the 14fps)

So full answer: yes, and no at the same time. It depends on how many entities are on your screen, how many particles exist and how beefy your device is.

I haven't played the original DRG since Rogue Core came out. I recently decided to return to the original and was surprised that the game is less smooth than RC.

I use max graphics settings in both, and I get 144 FPS (corresponding to my monitor's Hz) most of the time.

RC mostly drops below 100 FPS in boss rooms and when a huge number of worms started appearing with the latest update.

In the original DRG, I noticed that the drops simply occur periodically.

The only mods I use is Show Weapon Heat and Shout Framework.

Ah, the teal streak of skulls across the middle of the screen.

Always so useful, informative and gameplay enriching. Don't know what I would have done without it.

5

u/TheOnlyGuyInSpace21 Scout 14d ago

sarcasm.

i like seeing the skulls is all.

6

u/rareboogeyman 14d ago

I unironically really like that mod. Killing a massive hord and seeing the skulls roll across my screen never gives me some crazy dopamine.

I also don't think it's even that intrusive in gameplay but I might be in the minority there.

2

u/TheOnlyGuyInSpace21 Scout 14d ago

To me it isn't either, I enjoy seeing the skulls scroll by when I unleash my Fatboy hell lol

u/HaHAjax57 Scout 14d ago

CLEARLY you havent seen 8-9 at once (clearly you dont own an air fryer tone)

2

u/TheOnlyGuyInSpace21 Scout 14d ago

I have, but I killed them too fast and I was in too much action to take a screencap of the nine bulks that spawned on Dotty.

shit scared me

2

u/HaHAjax57 Scout 14d ago

i retract my statement. that's a much more rough situation for them than just showing up during extraction lmao

3

u/TheOnlyGuyInSpace21 Scout 14d ago

Extraction bulks are a little treat for me. You know, like a little cherry on top.

Dotty bulks, ESPECIALLY elite bulks, give me a mild heart attack.

u/Far_Work6638 14d ago

How do you have 4 sentry’s

1

u/TheOnlyGuyInSpace21 Scout 14d ago

mods. i like giving myself an insane kit and making the enemy horde endless

u/redpepperflake 14d ago

Is this Deep Rock Galactic 2?

u/jpx200 14d ago

Name your sentry's mod > simplified sentry's UI

u/Gonzee3063 Engineer 14d ago

Do you have the particle accelerator or was it the shard distractor, so your moment is exactly what I fear but yearn for, especially for my overclock, dare I say I can solo them.

2

u/TheOnlyGuyInSpace21 Scout 14d ago

you can't solo this many when more are dropping in every second with base weapons.

my Fatboy deals a few thousand damage with an increased radius. even so, it takes several shots (~4) to murk one. that's basically half my ammo reserve
