this event just keeps on giving... i guess i have a bit of a backlog of deep rock galactic content, huh? typical shenanigans ensue. nameistaylor discord - / discord ko-fi - ko-fi.com/nameistaylor subscribe - tinyurl.com/mrjbasv8
The real reason he keeps uploading clips from this event is because shortly after he killed one of his friends and he’s just uploading these to keep up appearances until the statue of limitation’s expiration.
Having friends makes even the worst of games eggcellent this game is great solo and with a majority of randos which is great! A real success when it comes to game desgin. Never experienced a full party cause I have no friends.
You gotta minmax the stubby to make it good. It's designed for it. I don't know what the hell that dish soap interaction was but it was kind of scary to be honest. You have now demonstrated a part of the Prospector's potential to be a difficult boss. Those bots take so, so much ammo and they don't stop.
the prospector itself has as much health as a paper towel and the bots aren't terrible to deal with. the problem in this particular mission was just their dumb decisions. iirc getting close to a mule will trigger a swarm, and both mules were touched by the team as they went in the room, + none of the spitballers were addressed so no one had health/ammo for the ambient swarms.
Love the stubby, if it hasn't been recommended already try Turret EM Discharge, gemini turrets, LURE nade, and breach cutter (I like inferno but rts is goated) for big boys. Lure between turrets and just shoot your turrets a couple times when the horde arrives. Or just place on either end of a tunnel/choke point. Added bonus: Really good at damaging teammates if they get too close.
@@nameisnttaylorit's good at damaging teammates but atrocious at killing them, the actual electeicity explosion from shooting a turret does lots of damage to bugs but the friendly fire is unironically 1 damage, it makes it so you dont have to think "will this kill scout or not" you can just do it without consequences
@@nameisnttaylortheres another stubby balanced overclock i like called em refire booster it isnt as incredibly good as em discharge but nothing is as incredibly good as em discharge, the explosion is just that good you can keep doing it as long as you have stubby ammo and you only need to electrocute the turret to do it, so with 50% electricity chance most of the time it takes 1-3 bullets for basically a grenade with negligible friendly fire centred on your turret Basically em refire booster makes it shoot way faster, gives a little extra electricity damage (not the status effect, damage type, so it's not as much against things resistant to electricity like oppressors) and makes the spread wider, it can basically turn stubby into the gunner's minigun but with a clip, no windup and *much* less ammo, similar damage and firerate Makes stubby feel more punchy if you know what I mean
@@nameisnttaylor you want to be the worst annoyance to teammates, run Stubby with Turret Arc OC, place down two build sentries in the middle of the teamfight or important choke area your teammates will want to run through, place them a good far length apart (turret arc distance is actually pretty wide) and just spam stubby on the turrets to create maximum annoyance as it slows them down alot and eats through shields. Add fatboy OC on grenade launcher for extra team trolling.
Me and My group once went through a mission we like to call "The Stalingrad incident" It had all three Ms: Mactera, meteors and malicous molly. All at once with a side of dreadnought and lithophage corrupter on point extraction in the icy caverns. Last time we ever accepted a mission with the Lethal enemies modifier even if it did have double xp. Only reason we succeded was the dual engi stubby build and even then 75% casualties
God damn, how much xp did you get? The plaguehearts and salvage being a high reward mission type plus the double XP and extra haz multiplier from lethal enemies sounds like a perfect recipe for at least 20k
@@redecterthomsonshadowascen5177 pfft fair, I always try to nab a screenshot of high reward or difficult missions before people hit continue what hazard was it, and what was the length/how many mules were there, and did you get the secondary? i could try to estimate how much xp you would've gotten Assuming max length and you got the secondary objective, that would've been ~24k xp on haz 4, or ~27.5k on haz 5
i like all my viewers (subscribers and non-subscribers). anyways, would you drink a shot of dish soap? you already know what going on... hop in the discord! - discord.gg/nameistaylor for the people that're feeling super generous today! - ko-fi.com/nameistaylor hope you enjoy(ed) the video smiley face
When it comes to stubby, EM Refire is the most highly recommended, and for good reason. Turret EM Discharge is another good option and it does very good swarm clear. My personal favorite for the stubby is Turret Arc. That overclock is glorious and it makes you feel like a mastermind when the setup is right. For all OCs, I just run 22222 b/c why not. High IQ Gang, Rock and Stone.
I love drinking dish soap Personally, my favorite has to be Dawn Ultra Antibacterial Liquid Dish Soap, it has that tangy flavor to it. Definitely would recommend occasionally drinking shots of it. :> P.S. - Spring Fresh Ultra Palmolive Dish Soap is also a really delicious option. (Maybe mix the two together and drink a shot or two)
Stubby with EM fire rebooster and 2-3-2-2-2 is based as hell, especially with a hyperprop PGL. It's amazing (compared to my other engi "builds") how easy it is to shred bugs of any size and quantity. Don't forget to brig the drones tho.
I appreciate the honesty about the struggles in the game, I love DRG but looking at videos of “Clearing Hazard 10 Elite Deep Dive no guns” makes for often boring content. Still hope you succeed though.
Loved how this was a callback compilation... the circle of life, the enor pearl incident and the mactera clutches, I'll definitely have to rewatch all of these now 😅 The "x% of you are not subscribed" segment was hilarious, great stuff!
I just want to say Taylor, watching you play DRG is what motivates me to go play more DRG. I've been burnt out a bit, I think, as I'm in my last year of school, but seeing the chaos here reminds me to go a few rounds in a random lobby just to have some fun! Thank you for being such a gold vein of content even when it's just you and your friends messing around.
i didn't actually know i was not subscribed imean your videos are just magically appearing in my recommendations 1-3hours after the release date i had genuinely no clue
@@nameisnttaylor hey I just want to say that I love your videos, and I especially love that you have subtitles with each player's colors! They help me a lot to recognize who is who, cuz english is my 3° language Keep the good work going bro!
Stubby is effectively two weapons : the one with no/clean/balanced overclocks, and the one that's actually useable, i.e. either of the unstables. Turret Arc is completely useless if you're not running Gemini (YOU SHOULD) and you're the only engineer on the team. EM Discharge is always useful. Decent build for the former would be 23122 to compensate your downsides and boost electric damage and typical build for the latter is 21221. Just be careful with the latter, teammates see the EM Discharge bubble get triggered 15 times and still insist on standing RIGHT NEXT to the sentry. It will never not baffle me. Basic game plan is, just shoot your sentry/ies with it and minimize any direct confrontation with it out. Secondary should cover your weaknesses, which are honestly many, so either go balls-deep single target (Hyperprop, some Shard Diffractor builds) if you know you're gonna fight some tanky boys and crowd clear with your Stubby's effect or go balls-deep crowd clear (Breach Cutter, non-Hyperprop PGL, Volatile Impact Shard Diffractor) and make heavy use of teammates for whatever you can't clear. Stubby CAN be useful, but when you compare it to Engi's other two primaries, eesh. It mostly sucks as a PDW (exceptions exist of course but at that point you're just doing the same job at best on par and at worst, worse), which is the top use case for Engi's primaries, and it's not fantastic at CC, which is the top use case for Engi's secondaries. If you like sticky grenades on him you'll probably like it but otherwise you'll probably forget it exists.
@@nameisnttaylor it is definitely worth learning every tool at your disposal, and if anything, a 4-engi team all running Gemini means a single person running Turret Arc can create an absolutely ridiculous web of electric death. Debatably useful, will definitely hinder mission completion speed, but definitely some very stupid fun. Maximize turret shenanigans by having someone else run EM Discharge and yet another player run Turret Whip Warthog and you will play the safest, if most ammo-hungry, game of DRG of your career.
both EM Discharge and Turret Arc do unironically 1 damage of friendly fire per hit, dont worry about hitting teammates (I have tested hitting myself and teammates and the friendly fire doesnt even take a cm off the shield)
I like EM Refire Booster stubby with 22222. It’s surprisingly competent against crowds due to the chain-lightning slow and more potent DOT. It does less DPS than the LOK, but you have more mobility, and so it’s important to take advantage of that. Most of the time it’s either a “Run and gun” play style or “Run around like a chicken with your head cut off” to break the bugs’ ankles. For some weird reason I like running this build with Fat Boy as a secondary. Running around like crazy -and- lobbing nukes always winds up being a good combo.
I got 2 God-like Stubby builds for you. 1st up: Turret EM Discharge 2,1,2,2,2. Just all lightning options and ammo. Tier 2 could be 1 or 2. Turret, bring the Twins and fast building. For the Platform Gun, bring max ammo. Repellent is useless on this build as you are to build bridges you put a turret at the start/middle of. Kiting bugs near even empty turrets, and shooting said turret, does an insane amount of damage in a huge aoe. Also, bring the Shard Diffractor with Plascrete Catalyst, built with 3,2,2,1,3. If you shoot plascrete with this secondary, the aoe that comes from shooting the Plascrete is a wide aoe, and applies the slow AND burning, plus the explosion to top it all off. Means all your plascrete for the scout get a 2nd life as bombs for spawning bugs. You can also heavily troll allies with this weapon. 2nd Build: Turret Arc 2,2,2,2,2 again. And you can basically use the same build with just an overclock swap. Or, swap to Bug repellent on the Platform gun, and bring the Breach Cutter in a build you prefer. The grenade for this build HAS to be the Lure. Setup the electric fence, especially with multiple Engi's. Light it up, throw a Lure into the arc, and watch the bugs fry themselves spending minimum ammo. The 1st build is my current favorite Engi build as someone who is 4 levels from Legendary 3.
Favourite Stubby is 23222 with EM Refire Booster, with Shard Diffractor 31211 with Overdrive Booster. It lets you control hoards while you get the position to boost all over them
Taylor I’m contractually obligated as an engineer main to put you onto my favorite build that uses my beloved stubby. 21122 Stub with EM refire booster, one of my favorite aoe weapons in the entire game and it has such a beautiful sound effect when you’re roasting swarms. 31211 Shard diffractor with overdrive booster oc for the secondary. This mf is without a doubt my favorite weapon in the game with this stubby combo. Actually insane dps from 1. Weak point damage boost 2. Bonus damage against electrocuted enemies (which usually applies to literally everything alive in front of you if you’ve shot the Stubby a few times) 3. Overdrive booster takes all of that and cranks it to ten on top of it for shits and giggles. Oh and also anything that’s still alive after all of that is probably electrocuted and on fire. Pair this with swarmer drones to pick off that tiny bit of health left on bigger targets and destroy whatever’s left of swarms and the taser laser combo is my go to. If you don’t have the OCs it should still be fire without if you have good alternatives, but if you want to ball like you’ve never balled before you need to get on this brotha Bonus point because I just hopped on to get all the info after not playing for awhile: Forgot that it has weirdly decent ammo economy as long as you don’t whiff overdrive shots. Joined into a 2 egg dreadnaught mission before either popped like 5 minutes and I was able to roast the hive guards vulnerable stages and was only out like a quarter of my total ammo. Let the scout bum my resup and managed to get 80% of the way through the second regular dread before I had to reload (results may vary depending on how mischievous and/or negative helpful the gang is at time of use)
you sound like you know your stuff, and i'm thankful of that disclaimer at the end. i can tell u really know that playing with the gang is a conflip... thank you! i'll absolutely give this one a try when i get those overclocks, you sold me
Turret EM discharge is generally considered the good stubby overclock (also always take t1 electrocute chance with it because bullets that would electrocute trigger the explosion), but I personally have a soft spot for straight up dps stubby with EM refire booster. 331x1 is the build. People bash it a lot because everybody loves cycle overload, but it actually does do good damage and it can hit things farther away than 5m unlike cycle overload haha. I take feedback loop shard diffractor with it for some access to armor breaking (the stubby has an AB penalty), but any swarm clear secondary works.
stubby is my favourite engi weapon aside the shotgun, is a very versatile weapon if you know to mod it or overclocks, my usual builds with it are: >Em refire booster with shard drifactor with feedback loop -stubby 22222 -shard difractor 1221 (or 2, is up to you i prefer burning them)1 the strategy is to spray the stubby at a swarm of bugs to proc as much of the electricity as possible and then blast the with the shard difractor, turns an entire swarm into thin mist >turret arc with pgl with fat boy -stubby 23222 -pgl 21332 this is my go to for missions where is to defend a static point, basically put the turrets like a fence and use fatboy as a hazard where the bugs have to walk through, with heavy uses of platforms you can force the bugs to path exactly where the turret arc and the radiation is, you can also use lures to increase the effectiveness >turret em discharge with shard difractor plascrete catalyst -stubby 23222 -shard difractor 21213 (or 1 if you want to fully use the electric damage bonus) this is the build where i just go schizo with the platforms and decide to play as if i was in minecraft, instead of using the platform gun to reach a destination and call it a day, i build structures such as bridges or spiral towers or anything that force the bugs to path ON the platforms in a straight line, with one turret in the middle of the monstrosity i created, when the bugs climb onto the structure i activate the turret discharge and then blast them with the shard difractor, you can decide if you want to detonate the plaforms or not in that case you can aim the gun to a bug or to another platform to avoid detonation and keep using the area bonus of shooting the platform, you can also use the shard against lone and tougher enemies like the opressor or praetorian by aiming it to their weakpoints (or you can just shoot platforms at their feets and make it explode) is by far my favourite engie build (specially for missions with tons of enemies like point extraction) of how destructive it is and how much it forces you to use your entire kit for crazy synergies.
those first two sound really interesting to me, but you make that third would sound like i have to try it as well. thanks for these builds! i appreciate the level of depth you went into here
9:00 Lumin is the 'human' version of that copy pasta "My nickname in the military was Blackout because I tend to blackout and go in full rage mode while in live combat. I have 100+ recorded kills using a pocket knife and I don't remember one of them."
I hated the stubby until I discovered a certain loadout. 23222 stubby with EM refire booster and 21211 shard diffractor with efficiency tweaks. You use the stubby on your basic enemies (That's grunts, mactera and stuff like that). For bigger enemies you electrify them with the stubby and then you laser them to oblivion. I will only even use the stubby with EM refire booster from now on. I do like turret EM discharge and turret arc and I use them every now and then. However, I find EM refire booster to be simpler because it doesn't NEED the turrets to function
the stubby is actually my favorite engineer primary for basic missions that aren't elim, which i use lok-1 executioner for. my stubby is ALWAYS as follows, barring rare exceptions: it's 22222 with EM Refire Booster, straight down the middle with this one. good ammo, good damage, great for both grunts and melting praetoreans/oppressors with a clip or two maximum, in my haz-4 maining experience. works in haz-5 to my knowledge and few missions i've played in it alone, too. enjoy, if you opt to!
I got a decent Stubby build. Upgrades are 3, 2, 2, 1, 2. With the Turret EM discharge. Keep your sentry guns close and train the bugs around them so if when you shoot your sentry, all bugs will get zapped. Really good against crowds. To make up for heavy DPS, use the Breach cutter with 1, 1, 1, 1, and 2. With Inferno. Very fun build to use.
291 kills as a scout is huge, but Substantial simian (sliceman?) had many more than you Taylor, too bad he's the strongest. Because yes, the number of kills is of course an indicator of the level of skill in the game, DRG being so competitive that you have to hold on to these indicators to know who still has a place in the roster of this team. No lasting friendship. By the way, you are for me the best DRG channel I know, R&S miners!
Ngl the hack on that patroller was clean. I was sure that's when it ended. Also holy craaaap what deleted the prospector's health like that? Hyperprop?
I'm a lok1 fan but i got a decent ammo efficient stubby i run with either nukes or rj250 em refire booster: 3,1,2,2,2 u can swap the 4th slot for weakspot dmg instead of electricity if u want (personal preference)
Hey Taylor, just a sugesstion! Can you use music that doesnt have lyrics in the background. It takes the focus away from whats being said by you. Thanks!
Stubby is a glorified secondary posing as a primary weapon, i swear. And im PR 853. Still havent found a reliable build except for like... One and MAAAAYBE another, but they rely heavily on turrets, grenades and actual secondaries 💀 Im trying but its basically a Dwarven nerf gun 😂
hi tayLor, i am writing to you to express my discontent with your most recent NameisTayLor Video titled Deep Rock Galactic's Never Ending "Event" ?? In your "video" you made many jokes about taking shots of dish soap in a rude fashion. I drink about two cups of dish soap a day for my health and freshness of breath. When I burp, I shoot bubbles. I see god. This shit aint nothing to me man. You're still on the primeval type of using ash to wash your hands (dry skin, no doubt). Straight up narsty. I cant blame you for not being considerate of me, I'm on another level of existence. But if you want me (the last 1%) to sub to your channel, you're gonna have to drink some of this soap bro. Maybe you could drizzle it onto some frozen pizza instead Respectfully, Him
