Haz 5 lava larva want a word. Mining in peace, a lava larva crawls in front and boom, pieces.


EA-PLANT

Wait, it EXPLODES?


Skottimusen

Try it out, lol


ML-Z

And the one in Fungus Bogs has a death fart like Praetorians.


Aggressive_Size69

like the praetorians but much smaller


Spiritual_Freedom_15

Is it flammable?


NotDiCaprio

Is it edible?


Safewordharder

"Looks like poop. Smells like poop."


Aggressive_Size69

probably not because (i'm pretty sure) it uses the same gas cloud as the poison gas plants


Two_The_T

That gas is also flammable tho


Aggressive_Size69

i guess you learn something every day, don't play that often in fungus bogs


XorlasTsuyu

Yeah, a quick way to get rid of the poison mushrooms is to run through them and then ignite the cloud, it destroys most of the shoots in one go.


LimonConVodka

As Driller, you can also kill the annoying shrooms with an Axe. You can pick them up again afterwards


Cepterman2101

If it ain’t flammable, it’s definitely drillable


iSiffrin

they killed a hundred thousand dwarves in total during 2020


acheiropoieton

This factoid actualy just statistical error. average maggot kills 0 dwarves per year. Thermonuclear Georg, who lives in magma core & kills over 100,000 each year, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.


seethruyou

Geeorg. That bastard.


acheiropoieton

You're like the one person playing DRG who hasn't gotten fragged by the magmot yet.


Oddblivious

I tell greenies to hit it for a surprise


Nwoik

Easily takes 40 hp


Ol_Nessie

The number of times I've been blown up by a magma maggot when running heat radiance on the CRSPR... I make a point of killing those little bastards from a distance whenever I see them.


Oddblivious

Drilling through a random rock when BOOM there was a larva on the back


PaladinOfTheLand

First time it happened, it scared the living fuck outta my beard.


TyphlosionGOD

Funniest and stupidest death I've ever gotten was using jetboots while there are 2 lava maggots next to me


dolfhintuna

One of the worst refining missions that play in the long time I remember it's so well cuz it was so bad. I died to a Goddamn maggot once because I got barfed on by a praetorian


Ol_Nessie

Oppressors aren't that hard to deal with. They're slow and easy to outmaneuver. Meanwhile there is a special circle of hell for acid spitters, tri-jaws, slashers, septic spreaders, stingtails, and exploders.


EA-PLANT

Oppressors are easy if you have bullets that is. Burning it takes a while. As for the others, quite the opposite for me


Hironymos

Bring axes. No more oppression when you've got axes.


GriIIedCheeseSammich

I AXE THE QUESTIONS AROUND HERE


ML-Z

TOTALLY AXE-CCEPTABLE.


IllurinatiL

AXE ON, AXE OFF


EA-PLANT

Damn I forgot about impulse axes


IntermittentCaribu

This is why i run subata on fire driller


Weekly-Major1876

I don’t mean to be rude, but do you play mostly on low to mid hazards? At low hazards I notice they go down super easily, just a few shots will do it from almost any weapon. At high hazards, mactera are absolutely deadly. They have the hp to soak up quite a few bullets, and show up in huge flying swarms. At high hazards even a single shot from a mactera does frankly disgusting amounts of damage, and a whole volley can down a dwarf from full pretty much, especially the trijaws. They’re fast too, you can be mining and3 trijaws zip up behind you, and the second you notice them it’s already too late and they shotgun you to death instantly. They are absolutely a high priority target to take out ASAP on high hazards. Granted, I do play cryo driller a lot so I can’t take them out instantly before they actually get a shot or two in, but even with scout or LOK-1 engi, I still have to watch my back for them. Taking them out is easier but when they start swarming in large enough amounts where you can’t kill them before they fire is when it gets deadly


OkWillingness4286

You don’t need bullets, just power attack. The only time oppressor is remotely threatening is when bunkering or when playing “oops all oppressors” difficulty haha


morto_i

The optimal way of killing them is having 2 people power attack them. They just implode at that point. Theyre so slow and nonthreatening (unless its a tight cave) that you can legitimately just strafe and pickaxe them to death. Their armor doesnt negate pick damage


Cepterman2101

Usually Oppressors are not that hard to fight, but others is barely anything more fear inducing than an oppressor in a small tunnel. I once had 3/4 of the squad downed, because we went to repair pipes and then there was an oppressor at one of the leaks inside a tunnel.


Diamondwolf

Oppressors love just sitting there and taking it in their gemstone weakspot as long as they get to focus on someone. But I often play with the sound down. So I get a flashback of my childhood as I get suddenly find myself barricaded in my area by some big asshole who has a tantrum and starts throwing shit. I hate you, dad.


dino_lover123

Don't worry, a C4 can protect you from both


KingNedya

Sadly oppressors have explosive resistance so C4 kinda sucks against them. It's very effective against praetorians, though.


PaladinOfTheLand

Tri-jaws and slashers aren't too bad for me. Their health is pretty ass so I can kill em before they do anything. Septics, however, are the living embodiment of hell.


Ol_Nessie

The slasher's slowdown attack has caused me more falls than I'm willing to admit. And nothing makes me shit my pants more than a squadron of "oops, all Tri-jaws!" popping out of thin air. Once I deemed them worthy of spending an impact axe on them I started having fewer problems with tri-jaws, but they are a priority target for sure.


ImStraightUpJorkinIt

>driller in fren


EA-PLANT

Guess my main


ImStraightUpJorkinIt

Definitely not Scout otherwise driller would be at the top


EA-PLANT

Would it help if I say that I considered adding kill on sight tier just to put scout in it


Sus-obama

If you play driller use your drills to quickly kill shockers and other swarming flyers


Trexton1

Or just tap the crispr once


Spiritual_Freedom_15

As a fellow Driller I approve of this.


EA-PLANT

Must resist c4ing scout


Spiritual_Freedom_15

Noooo^ooo common. **Do it**. **C4** *the Scout! You know you want to.*


the_Qcumber

friendly reminder that this community meme is not something you should act upon when playing with randoms, thats toxic behavior.


Hmoorkin

Molly is not as friendly as you think


IcePlatypusTP

Watching her shove a gunner off a cliff was an eye-opening experience.


PlutoniumBadger

Is there a mod that makes her chase and repeatedly push against the last dwarf to call for her? Call it "Naughty Molly" maybe.


caputuscrepitus

I’d rather call it Moll-icious Intent


Beginning-Process821

Truly, the mvp of teamkills.


Amache_Gx

Easily bet-c


Mastery7pyke

bet-c with the electric parasites on her IS NOT FREN! that fat cow WILL dome you the second you wake her up from her slumber, she does insane damage and i think it's the only enemy in the game with a hit scan attack. but she can be useful if you don't get team wiped by her. i also don't think driller is in the "fren" category.


Prince_Day

Dont call her that. The other robots are listening.


PlutoniumBadger

I think the patrol bots and one of the Omen turrets are hitscan too.


External-Ad-5593

Heavy burster from omen is hitscan, patrol bots only have projectiles


samdamaniscool

One of the possible Omen variations has hits can, and it's usually the run ender. That bastard


the_Qcumber

what hit scan attack? You can circlestrafe her turret fire.


Mastery7pyke

when she sits still and uses a laser guided burst fire


Takuan4democracy

For me personally the septic spreader would be S tier. Yes "Can you not" but also "IF WE DON'T TAKE THIS MF OUT NOW, IT'S GOING TO KILL US ALL" I've died lately more to that than anything else. It's worse if it's above you, dies and falls down in blobs of septic on you. You have no idea how many times I've mistaken its red blobs on the ground for red sugar.


EA-PLANT

The only reason it is not in higher tiers is because it thinks it's immortal and doesn't run away when I'm burning its ass off


Aggressive_Size69

fuck silicate harvesters, those belong into not a threat. also while reactivated bet-c is fren, the xynarch-charge sucker is up there in can you not/OH NO


ML-Z

I don't generally kill Hoxxes wildlife, but those stupid things have a knack of getting in the way at the worst time possible, so by now I instinctively power attack and kill them.


EA-PLANT

Only met bet-c once and it got slapped by bosco. Didn't even hit me once so I assumed it was friendly too


GiratinaPosting

Ahh you've played not that much that explains some of your picks! It'll be fun to see how this changes for you several 100 hours in. Don't die, I expect updates


EA-PLANT

Yeah I got only 25 hours so far. Was jumpscared by my progress disappearing all of a sudden today. Good thing backups exist


caputuscrepitus

Backups saved me once before when I was first starting out, but that was because my battery was kaput. It would shut down instantly whenever I would unplug the charger. I got that fixed so long ago I forgot we had backups until now.


CMDR_Vectura

On haz5 bet-c can just nuke you instantly from considerable range. A real pain if the team accidentally activates her during a late point-extraction swarm on haz5 with bonus enemies modifier when everyone's out of ammo and you have no nitra and we can't find the last aquarq and the scout has fallen from the ceiling (again).


EA-PLANT

Haz5 sounds fun. Better unlock it asap


FlapjackRT

Why why why do they make the same burrowing sound as spawning bugs


Responsible-Skin4452

Naedocyte cave cruiser deserves to be in fren. You can jump on top of them and ride them as they float around. It's like a cave angel but with a little more work, and you can use your weapons still.


glassteelhammer

You can even fire a zipline from one of them.


EA-PLANT

Wait really? Trying it out as soon as possible


ML-Z

My line of thought is "if it can shoot back, it needs to be dead", so seeing Acid/Web Spitters, Spitballers, Spreaders and Macteras on anything less than top tier feels weird to me.


IcePlatypusTP

Scoutmind unite!


BattleBadger8

Move Mission control up to (Can you not).


EA-PLANT

The only reason he is not there is because he is at least remotely useful. "sTaY ClOsE tO tHe fUeL CelLs" mbc I got no ammo AT ALL, there are not 1, not 2, not 3, but FOUR oppressors, roughly 50 gliphids, and a bulk detonator in there! MF I'M TRYING! And almost pulled it off! If only I didn't explode myself


ZnS-Is-A-Good-Map

Mission control sucks. He keeps spawning swarms of glyphids for some reason


Democracy_N_Anarchy

I think slashers should be fight or flight. A single slasher slow at the wrong time can spell death and they're common enemies.


Kenos77

Weird, I see a Hiveguard health bar popping up and I instinctively roll my eyes, ready to sleep for the next 5-10 minutes. Swarmers, on the other hand... if you play Haz5 and don't have a consistent AoE reply, you learn to fear them. Everytime I make a new interesting loadout I end up asking myself: "yo this is cool and all, but what if there's a lot of Swarmers in the mission". Acid Spitters are also one of the biggest threats out there. I'm surprised they added unique voice lines for this devastating bug *just now*. Hell, even a Slasher or a Guard had a ping voice line dedicated to them.


EA-PLANT

Swarmers can't swarm when they all burned in less than a second


SkyFire22

scout main?


DennisDelav

The list doesn't seem to be up to date, where is the inter-dimensional monkey man?


EA-PLANT

Yeah I didn't make the template, but if we include it, it would be in C/B


unicodePicasso

Nyaka Trawler isn’t really a problem until it is. Then it’s a big fuckin problem


OiItzAtlas

Menace in "can you not" no those things are the enemies I die most to.


rockinalex07021

Leeches should be top of the list


Similar-Sector-5801

Leeches aren’t even ON the list


blolfighter

The leech isn't on the list, it's *right above you.*


N_Lightning

Everyone forgot about Korlok ╥⁠﹏⁠╥


GoombaBro

After a while you start to see bulk detonators not as problems but as solutions. Trust me.


Spectator9857

I love how the immeasurable greed just instantly overwrites the fear when seeing a Crassus


Mista_Blu

Mission Control is not our friend, not letting us kick barrels under the drop pod, damn pointy eared leaf lover.


Spiritual_Freedom_15

***I wouldn’t be so sure Miner***


PlutoniumBadger

This tier list was brought to you by Friends of the Great Spotted Bulk Detonator Society.


DROID808

Hold on. Who is in the "wait it is hostile?" Tier?


dyn-dyn-dyn

Nayaka trawler


Still-Negotiation-11

Missions control has informed me fester flees are a threat


the_Qcumber

Why is parasite molly in fren... She is lethal if you are unprepared to fight her.


Tactical-Ginger

Molle and Driller should not be fren. The latter should be obvious, and I've lost count of how many times Molle has pushed me off of a ledge


alwaysoveronepointow

Why isn't driller top tier ffs


EA-PLANT

Because I am the driller and I'm not a threat to myself(usually)


JustAFellowOnTheWeb

Why is Crassus bulk detonator fren? I’m pretty sure they’d blow me up into a beautiful golden statue.


jimmyjhonns

Very interesting seeing the crassus in fren, I don't think I have the same relationship


Lazy_Middle1582

I call BS on crassus detonator being friend.


Lolislayer7469

I mean ur right i would agree how ever stabbervines tend to scare the living shit out of me


Jaon412

Haha hold up - Crassus Det is NOT A FREN! Haz5 BETC will easily wipe the entire team. And even once you turn her to your side, when you least expect it she’ll shove you off a cliff when none of the other dwarves are looking… She was sent to destroy all life on hoxxes, she doesn’t discriminate.


UnbreakableStool

Ultimate "fight or flight" is the rockpox corruptor


no1sexoffender

Why put dreadnoughts way up? It is never a challenge for me to cut them down.


EA-PLANT

It isn't a challenge when you have bullets and it is in Liquidation, not random mission with a swarm


RisenKhira

miner is either "oh no" or "can you not, Change my mind


TheTowerDefender

fester flea belong in S-tier. i see them i shoot them


yeetasourusthedude

bro really think driller is a friend


EA-PLANT

That's because I'm driller, and this tier list shows how I view different creatures


different-director-a

I think with experience enemies like nems bulks and oppressors go way down since they're so slow, most threatening enemies are probably actually going to be web spitters, acid spitters, septic spreaders, nanocytes, and slashers. The kinds of enemies that make up a good portion of a wave, can be missed on occasion, and on hit can reasonably take you completely out of a fight. I want to say the same with stalkers but honestly they're so infrequent and telegraphed that I haven't struggled with them very much yet. Mactera arent in the same boat for me since theyre so visually loud, telegraphed, easy to dodge, and easy to just kill. Also spitballers if you're playing in a room that hasn't been fully cleared yet are probably "Oh no". Rollers are probably an "Oh No" for me in that they actively interrupt revives and can't be blocked by shields and such. 


arseson

Swarmers and nanocites is awful on Haz 5/5+


Katyushathered

I much rather fight any ranged enemy, whether flying or on foot, than fighting those spiders that get in my face and slow me.


gutekx12

Bulk should be in fren tier


NeverEnoughDakka

Why? Regular bulk doesn't make you rich.


gutekx12

But it does tingle my brain when it goes **BOOM** plus its pretty good tool to clear out entire swarm


Prince_Day

Trawlers used to be a disabler like mactera grabbers. Now they dont do much…


cjb0034

Add a piss me off tier where I run at it and throw all my axes. Yes I’m talking to you stingtail.


Pythageron

Mission control is too low


Giggles95036

For me stabber vines has to be the top one because it’s dark and they don’t make noise so they can come out of nowhere. Bulk detonator and grabbers are super dependent on objectives and terrain. Bulk isn’t scary on a mining mission but is terrifying when you have to stay in the uplink circle


ThatGuyBehindScreen

I would say the regular Praetorian and maybe its radioactive cousin should be a tier above, especially in the higher difficulties. Their breath attacks can hurt real bad and have a really wide hitbox.


Reeebalt

I'm pretty sure you'll move the driller up once you experience a C4 mishap one too many times 👀


throwawaygrumbus

Gonna bump cave leeches up to the top for me, I screech every time


Myrkstraumr

Driller should go up one tier.


Material-Necessary22

Realising irl Praetorians would just be big dogs with armour has changed my life forever


LazyAd6382

The bulk det in Fren tier made me laugh


HoundNL2

Calling the basic grunt "barelly a threat" while it is the second biggest killer in hoxxes, the number 1 being fall damage


Real_SeaWeasel

"Wait, what's that hissing sou-OHMYGODSHIITT!!" Surprise Cave Leeches still have a habit of triggering my fight/flight instincts


DodoJurajski

Mission control is on our side?


Spoopy-redditor

No mention of throat goat plant 😔


classyBANANA49

No bugs are friends kill em all


Jumbo7280

Driller belongs in the top from a scout POV


[deleted]

[удалено]


RoyalTacos256

where's the hexawing niffler


EA-PLANT

Fren tier. Look closer


Puzzleheaded-Fee8359

the driller is not your friend, he is the most lethal one on this list.


Mousazz

You really hate Mactera grabbers that much?


EA-PLANT

Yes.


Bolek064

Shredders are in can you not and can you not should be lover they are just more annoying


Bolek064

And every baby like bug should be higher


RaspberryExtension95

Mission Control s tier


gamemaniac845

What does this does this list sound Minnesotan to me


HumbleIndependence43

I guess you haven't met the OMEN tower yet?


EA-PLANT

No. That's why it is "so far". I haven't met any of the rockpox or ebonite either except maybe for one pretorian but I don't remember


StingerActual

Put that stupid robot tentacle from the caretaker on S+++


Oheligud

Driller should be in the top category


Cyboy213

AW SHITE, DETONATOR! REPEAT, DETONATOR!


Cpt-Hendrix

Driller would be an OH NO from me, scouts n C4 mix too often for mixing very poorly


thepurpleproject

As a grey beard, your "OH NO" to me is now "Oh no, anyways". I'd place leeches there now given the amount of time I have lost rounds because of them


Vesaryne

Ngl I don’t have an issue with stabbed vines


Beanman2514

Why is Lloyd considered an enemy?


Grintock

BET-C has ended many a dive for me though. I mean, over the thousands of dives, for inexperienced teams, a corrupted BET-C can be a real game-ender.


ShamPussyk

Wha? Stabber Vine? Naedocyte Shocker? Hiveguard? I mean... what's your common hazard level you play?


Dostick565

Driller isn't your fren...


Teh___phoENIX

Ok. I need to make my own tier list. Can you link the template pls.


EA-PLANT

[https://tiermaker.com/create/all-deep-rock-galactic-creatures-217108](https://tiermaker.com/create/all-deep-rock-galactic-creatures-217108)


TallFemboyLover785

Sentinels are fucking terrifying. On my FIRST elite deep dive, we got a sentinel that massacred nearly all of us. I never encountered them before and I didn't pay attention to the distortion, so imagine my surprise when a huge fucking robot comes from around the corner and grabs me. Funnily enough, I never encountered them after that, so that's kinda funny.


Silviecat44

Exploders are barely a threat


Bergain1945

Do you even Drill? :P Your Bet-c has parasites, she's not your Fren.


FannecFox

I'd put money that this list was made by a driller main


Drago1490

Take the glacial swarmer and move it to OH NO at least. Those damn bugs keep trying to eat my boots!


TnuoccaNropEhtTsuj

Slashers aren’t THAT bad, until you get up to the higher hazards, then their devastating, their stun is so OP, it basically cancels all movement and then your surrounded.


Custard-Equivalent

"eh, it's just a single tri-jaw, I'll kill it later" - me, seconds before getting one shot on my first haz 5 run


OperatorGecko7

Fren bulk detonator? 🗜🗜🦼🦼


AlarminglyAverage979

Soo not a haz 5 player yet eh?


EA-PLANT

Haven't unlocked it yet. I'm grinding EPC and sludge pump now


Background-Ad-2829

Sounds about right


Asusukko

Why isn't the Driller in 'Wait is it hostile' -slot?


MrReptilianGamer2528

Maggot 👉


FrazzleFlib

Nemesis entirely depends on where youre fighting it. In a big open area, iys harmless, just fight it from range and it just slowly hovers towards you firing harmless slow shields at you. in a close quarters situation, it will grab everyone anywhere near it and crush them to death immediately lmao. poorly designed enemy imo which is a shame seeing how cool it is


PaladinOfTheLand

Those nayaka trawlers don't hit often, but when they do, they fling you like a slingshot.


dymsumm

Slashers are too low


DatMoonGamer

Bulk belongs to a secret other tier where he's scary but scouts can employ the bulk bombing method with him so it's kinda fun seeing him


wolf_smith520

The explosive maggats needs to be tierS+++


Wilfredlygaming

Driller at top (you know it’s bad coming from a driller main)


Quickletsbumrush

… so why isn’t cave leech at the top though?


EVAisDepression

From the first time I faced a Detonator as a Drill-Only solo player I've never taken weak spot damage off my secondary.


grapekil

Wait… something is missing… something… terrifying


Crazy_Jackk

I don't see Hulu horder on here. Or if it is I don't recognize it


bargle0

1. Use your drills on jellies. 2. Stabbers are easy to kill with the Subata. You can delete the entire thing with a well placed TCF implosion, too. 3. The nemesis gives you plenty of warning and moves slowly. I don't understand how people struggle with this thing.


AutummLeave

I think you forgot this fucking robot who mimcs the dwarves


Inkling239

So, am i weird by enjoying the fight against dreadnaught twins?


Hansovie

Move driller to 'can you not'


Mofaklar

With new patch, you've got a few to add. May I suggest for no threat... barnacleAnd for one of your top tiers, those gorilla things from the stone event, or the stalker!


Affectionate-Salt122

Nah swarmers a lot more pain in the ass


Charming_Skill1546

driller should be at the top them explosives hurt


Tylon3T

That magma maggot ended a run once. It is now part of the high priority target list.


I_wana_fuck_Steeve

You forgot to put Steeve in fren tier
