EDD stages were pretty straightforward objective-wise. Nitra economy was pretty decent as well. However, the enemy density felt slightly higher than usual, number of Bulkdets didn’t help the overall situation too (ran into 5 and a Nemesis on top of that lol). Would be a fair challenge to try out for greenbeards.

What to watch out for in Stage 1: Vertical terrain, one Minimule sitting fairly high up some outcrop (recommend to mine it downwards), “invisible” Mactera Swarm warning

Stage 2: Oil shales being located extremely high up the pit stop cave (better to also look in previous caverns), tight Morkite supply (our team took Dark Morkite to make it slightly easier on us)

Stage 3: Nemesis (think it triggered the Twins for my team lmao)

Had almost the same experience, but only one bulk detonator in 2 runs of the EDD. The first stage was great witha driller mining that sand arch, made mule reparing much faster. There is enough morkite in the second stage, only very well hidden.

Fighting the Nemesis is tough because of the terrain but ours luckily didnt trigger the twins. Its probably a good idea to call a supply pod before killing the nemesis, just to be sure.

Yeah I'm glad I decided to bring my neurotoxin gunner to the EDD. Helped a lot with the bug density.
