DRG 6x2: Escort (true solo scout)
Channel: ojb
Date: 2023-05-20

No bosco, one iron will revive. Featuring min clips M1k + jumbo shells boomstick + pheromone grenades in Sandblasted Corridors.

This was literally my first time (ever!) attempting 6x2 escort... and the seed was god tier. One embarrassing death to whale babies aside, it really wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I think I got lucky that the first room was connected to spawn so that I could clear that without breaching under pressure, and then the rooms beyond weren't that bad. Dotty even killed a spitballer on her way in to the refuel room which was really kind of her.

I'll probably make another attempt at deathless escort in the future now that I know I can do it. I'm still shocked I won my first ever run of it on this difficulty level - was entirely expecting to face plant [which I mean is probably more so due to how insanely blessed this seed was, rather than any skill on my part].

pheromones good

Random things:
- When the storm hit, I deliberately stayed off dottie to slow her down (she speeds up if dwarfs are near). I didn't want to breach during a sandstorm, and this strat kinda paid out because there was indeed some trouble in the room.
- I've said before that the number one cause of my deaths is shockers. The sad part is that these weren't even real shockers, just baby pink ones :( How embarrassing...
- Sand sharks are absolutely terrifying when you can't aim. Thankfully I got lucky B)
- I knew grabbing the ebonuts pre final heartstone drilling were a dumb idea, and I was right. I ended up having a bulk spawn and lost an entire side to this stupidity. (Though losing a side to that bulk was just pure bad gameplay lol, it should have been fine).
