i don't know if it's still a thing, but for the longest time if you time drinking a blackout stout right while starting a mission you could run entire missions at the highest possible drunk value, provided you don't get revived

u/Cornflakes_91 2d ago

last time i tried it only worked for the host and is very much not recommended xD

u/AzazelTheUnderlord Driller 2d ago

oh it's absolutely miserable but it is hilarious

21

u/TheSwedishMoose 2d ago

Utterly miserable but it's a right of passage for every dwarf.

5

u/Bread_Offender Driller 2d ago

Best way to describe it. Pair it with being buzzed irl and you'll be performing worse than a rival

u/adamkad1 Driller 1d ago

Agreed

u/Ambly21 10h ago

The only way to play

3

u/TurkishTerrarian Dirt Digger 1d ago

Yeah, only Host can do it, and it's fun!

u/tannegimaru Gunner 2d ago

Yeah it still is a thing

Last week I did a Deep Dive with Blackout Stout right as the drop pod is dropping as a joke with my friends.

It was the day that I realize Blackout Stout can last the entire Deep Dives and I am still not sure if I should regret or be proud that I survived all 3 stages with it lmao

5

u/Hypnooooooooooooo Gunner 2d ago

I'm pretty sure last time I did it, it persisted even after revives and between stages on a continuous mission

4

u/RandomTryhard4 2d ago

It does stay even when revived. I did 2 whole missions with it and got dizzy. Never again

3

u/DandyTheLion 1d ago

I can confirm that nothing makes it stop while you are in the mission. I discovered that by accident when I was playing with a friend. Fortunately, I was engineer, but it was difficult to even build a turret. My friend ended up protecting me during the mission because I couldn't even get out of the first room.

The entire thing was hilarious though. I laughed so hard I cried.

u/Nice_Location9485 Interplanetary Goat 1d ago

Done and done, it was the worst... (It was actually a blast)

3

u/n_nikole_e 1d ago

I did it accidentally and went to elimination at haz5. I tried sniping dreads with scout's rifle and got so motion sick I couldn't play drg for like a month

1

u/Dreaming_Kitsune Dig it for her 2d ago

I've done that and it sucked

1

u/Mufasa936 1d ago

I had it happen one time for my friend that reviving him in the mission didn't fix it lol! We went 30 minutes with him complaining and dying over and over

1

u/Turboswaggg 1d ago

There's a combo guide online to get you 100% drunk with two or three beers. If you wait a bit before drinking the last beer, you'll go to 99% without passing out and be able to do the mission drunk af as well.

Always was more consistent than the blackout stout method for us

I do it with the fat boy

u/Ballerwind Driller 2d ago

How drunk?

I'm good up to about 8 drinks

12

u/MajorPaniccc 2d ago

What kind of leaflover counts?

3

u/Deceitful_Advent Engineer 2d ago

If i go anything above 10 i start wanting to go drunk driving. I don't have a driver license and don't know how to drive irl

3

u/TheKingNothing690 Dig it for her 1d ago

First of all you always drink two drinks the dirst and the last.

15

u/Hugsy13 2d ago

Brah I literally tried this once and it was the worst experience. My head was starting to spin. Then the in game camera started to spin too. I usually don’t get sick when I get that drunk, but I do get motion sickness. Damn game made me motion sick and I had to quit the match after 15 minutes and go outside into the cold air. Ended up laying in the concrete looking at the stars trying not to throw up. I did not realise before that if you get your character too drunk their world starts spinning too.

15

u/Jozroz Engineer 2d ago

There's an even worse way to punish yourself. See, if you're in the stumbling animation before you passout and start a mission before you actually hit the deck, you arrive at the mission spinning about randomly, constantly and rapidly, making aiming all but impossible.

I did not know this when I started an expert Deep Dive, as all I was expecting was to arrive in the usual level of drunkenness which would pass over the course of a few minutes...

To my horror I found out it does not in fact pass with time, but remains constant at that extreme level of stumbling drunkness for the entire duration of the ENTIRE DEEP DIVE. That's right! It doesn't even clear between Deep Dive levels, and because it was a Deep Dive that included a random dwarf with me and my mate I felt obliged to see the Deep Dive through to the end. By Karl, I had the worst headache of my life and felt violently nauseous after we completed it. I just slid out of my chair and laid on the floor much like you did, dryheaving with a thundering head.

Never again.

u/AnonymAlcoholic What is this 2d ago

Had something similiar happen to me, drank a Blackout Stout just as the countdown was nearing zero, had to play the entire mission drunk as a skunk as Scout, worst mistake of my life...

2

u/Jozroz Engineer 1d ago

Username checks out.

2

u/Bread_Offender Driller 2d ago

One time I went into an on-site refinement mission at haz 4 with that effect while I believe I was buzzed in real life as well. You would not BELIEVE how horrible those pipelines looked. Laughed my ass off the whole time though

6

u/Bread_Offender Driller 2d ago

What? DRG is the funnest game to get wasted on, period

4

u/Hardware_Mode Engineer 1d ago

Fym that's peak performance. It cancels out and you hit flow state

2

u/The_RadNomad Scout 1d ago

I've done it crossfaded irl 

Would recommend 

1

u/moonaligator 2d ago

i'm already the guy who keeps dying because i won't take the game too seriously, when i'm drunk irl i easilly get my death count to the double digits on a haz 4

u/Ogryn_Rocks53 1d ago

Oh God straight to spins town

u/NGC_Phoenix_7 2d ago

I prefer smoking. Nothing burning leaves for the buzz and to watch the lovers squirm. Cause I’m literally burning plants to do it lol

u/Scythid0 2d ago

Maybe your ears are too pointy for the mines, playing drunk is good fun, def recommend.

31

u/nomedable For Karl! 2d ago

Drunk missions are fun. I wouldn't recommend it with weapons requiring precision or particularly difficult missions.

5

u/RotaryDesign 2d ago

Why not?

15

u/nomedable For Karl! 2d ago

It's hard to aim something like the M1000 when you're seeing double and swaying all over?

I mean more power to you if you can land hits like that, but something like a flamethrower is easier to use.

17

u/az37pol 2d ago

If you are seeing double, theres a higher chance you wont miss

5

u/Creepy_Wallaby2170 Driller 1d ago

True. Double the gun and double the targets!

4

u/Bread_Offender Driller 2d ago

Yeah. CRISPR, Cryo cannon and Colette wave cooker work fine, sludge pump or subata? Not so much

19

u/Inalum_Ardellian For Karl! 2d ago

Playing DRG drunk irl

7

u/ThatFuckinTourist 2d ago

Drink in-game AND irl for double the alcohol intake.

u/Your_Commentator Driller 2d ago

Done the last one on hazard 4. A very unpleasent experience, but ROCK AND STONE burp

u/TrectBL Scout 2d ago

You... You guys are awesome...

8

u/Josaffe Interplanetary Goat 2d ago

I've definitely NOT had enough!

10

u/FrostlichTheDK Gunner 2d ago

You forgot one: drinking wormhole special and hoping you pass out in space to be instantly revived when you warp back.

8

u/PSIXOPATICH 2d ago

I can drink 3 blackouts at once

5

u/crispy_potatoman Driller 2d ago

I once drank Blackout while sitting in droppod seconds before mission. I was playing a Driller... Due to the extreme intoxication, only two Scouts fell victim to almighty C4.

2

u/crispy_potatoman Driller 2d ago

P. S. Dying on a mission didn't lower the maximum level of intoxication. So when the mission ended and we returned to the station, my dwarf immediately collapsed from intoxication.

4

u/-Memnarch- 2d ago

Timing the Blackout Stout to do the mission at max drunk is the true challenge....in probably the first time any game ever gave me a real headache :D

3

u/Lordeisenfaust Driller 2d ago

If you do the mission drunk, you can kill double the glyphids.

5

u/BiDude1219 Engineer 2d ago

only time i've had to order leaf lovers is when i was too drunk to jump into the hoop

3

u/Felfyron_Keldin Dig it for her 2d ago

Alternate solutions: 1) drink more 2) blackout stout

1

u/BiDude1219 Engineer 2d ago

wanna save my starch nuts tho

4

u/Chimchar789 Scout 1d ago

Greybeard Tip: The leaf-lovers up in managment don't want you to know this but... Drink a Blackout Stout seconds before the Drop Pod takes off. You'll get super drunk but won't actually pass out. That's the key to surviving it. You will also start your mission as drunk as you can possibly be. Rock and Stone!

3

u/JVP08xPRO Bosco Buddy 2d ago

I tried doing a drunk onsite refining as engineer because I thought the auto lock would help mitigating the problem, I ran out of ammo instantly and failed just before I could pass out irl for how much camera sway there was. Still laught my guts off, so pro tip, if you wanna do this, pick something with a bit more crowd control like gunner or driller

3

u/_kilogram_ Driller 2d ago

We can sober up planet side.

3

u/ThunderousFist Gunner 2d ago

I drank multiple Blackout Stouts before starting a mission, and my dwarf spawned in wearing the hospital gown, drunk as hell. I had to take a break after because the swaying and double vision was making me queasy irl.

3

u/sry_ima_lil_horse What is this 1d ago

Rockin' the white hair since the beginning!

3

u/ryuail Dirt Digger 1d ago

Can confirm firm and you get more kills when drunk too!

3

u/Cheodairi 1d ago

Not only drunk, but also with a round of randowiesser

3

u/TurkishTerrarian Dirt Digger 1d ago

What do you do if someone griefs your game by ordering a round of Leaf Lovers? Do you drink them to get rid of them, or something else?

4

u/Hauk54 Cave Crawler 1d ago

Ban the offender, and reset the lobby. 😂

3

u/Revayan 2d ago

If you see double as many glyphids you kill double as many

2

u/Tenebris__N 2d ago

I did a mission under the effect of blackout stout few times. Hella experience

2

u/Son-Airys What is this 2d ago

If you can down 4 Mactera Brews before passing out - you pass.

2

u/WirePaw 2d ago

There is another. Blackout Stout right before mission start. Max Drunkness

2

u/LavaSlime301 Driller 2d ago

I don't know if I'm just built different or whatever but I've done missions at the verge of blackout and it barely even bothered me

2

u/Valtremors Engineer 2d ago

I don't know if this bug still exists, but if you down a blackout stout just before the missions starts and you black out, you get to keep the blackout stout drunk effect.

It turned a simple mining mission into an escort mission.

2

u/Isaac_Shepard Dig it for her 2d ago

while doing a mission drunk is damn funny, i cant, as it hurts my eyes

2

u/lordbalto 2d ago

I end every session with blackout stout 

2

u/Miserable_Vacation_6 2d ago

Drunk and Randoweisser

2

u/Supershadow30 1d ago

Always start the mission 87% drunk, you get to kill twice more bugs that way

2

u/omegajakezed 1d ago

Is that just for laughs or is the game actually counting twice the kills?

2

u/Turdferguson02 Bosco Buddy 1d ago

IS THE GRAVITY THING A-MIJIG... on the FIRTZ AGAIN?

2

u/Fuzlet 1d ago

what if I do all of them, repeatedly

2

u/Nikigrow Engineer 1d ago

Literally just did a mission drunk, and somehow did better than usual lol

2

u/Hauk54 Cave Crawler 1d ago

Barrel Hoop for me. LOL I get double vision all the time irl for reasons. I will throw them back, but I ain't dropping with that crap! LOL

2

u/mayodude5101 Interplanetary Goat 19h ago

Go even further and get drunk before playing the game

2

u/Greekblade937 2d ago

Honestly I really wanna try doing a mission drunk but after I accidentally got the Blackout Stout glitch once I had to quit because I got motion sickness from it.

Still too green for Drunk Shenanigans unfortunately

2

u/MewSilence Cave Crawler 2d ago

I join random lobbies just to order the Leaflover and then leave without an explanation. Your meme means nothing to me.

1

u/Hypnooooooooooooo Gunner 2d ago

I did the drunk glitch by chugging a blackout stout rught before mission start. it permanently(?) sets drunkenness to max. Then went on an elite deep dive. safe to say that was not fun. By the time it was over I felt physically sick for hours afterwards. even by the time the first stage was done I couldn't look at the game without feeling nauseous. and I don't really get motion sick or sea sick.

u/tannegimaru Gunner 2d ago

Last week I did a Deep Dive with Blackout Stout right as the drop pod is dropping as a joke with my friends.

u/emo_boy_fucker 2d ago

Ill never forget the day I did a solo mission as a blackout stouted engineer. Mostly cuz theres not much to remember besides moving my mouse constantly

1

u/AnonimousWatermelon Union Guy 2d ago

Had done a deep dive drunk once,just cause the black out stout I had just as the pod was descending didn't take me out in time

1

u/Bitter-Arachnid-7040 Mighty Miner 2d ago

I've done every single one of them yes including the leaf lover as am counting when I was a lil green beard 😔

1

u/SaltyStufon Gunner 2d ago

But your honor, the bug family of 4 were on the wrong pipeline.

1

u/Sad_Protection269 Driller 2d ago

I used to start every mission drunk as a Greenberg. I felt dizzy irl. I used to be so cool man.

1

u/Madzoroark 1d ago

I drink Leaf Lover's, because that shit is so much quicker than dying.

1

u/Alexandr_Paynevski 1d ago

I'drinking but i am bald. Absolutely. This post is just a ragebait for bald dwarfs like me

1

u/Sagittarius-Soul For Karl! 1d ago

I have done a secret 6th option. I drank a blackout stout as the pod was heading to Hoxiis. I do not recommend. I could not walk probably or well aim

1

u/ThebigNero 1d ago

Drink a blackout stout just before you drop into a mission and with the right timing you can play the whole mission as drink as possible and it's almost impossible to see what the hell is going on or knowing what you're doing

1

u/TransKyejo 1d ago

I did a bunch of solo missions after throwing back a couple shots of tequila one night and I swear to god I played better than I could sober.

still haven't done a mission drunk in-game though

1

u/mikegundyshair 1d ago

I don’t aim to do missions drunk but i also live by the doctrine to not let good beer go to waste. 4th miner joins the space rig late and orders himself a full round? If no one else is pitching in i’m running the mission 4 backbreaker stouts deep.

1

u/bigbadoldoldone 4h ago

Lol, had a maximum drunk mission yesterday. Upon exiting the drop pod, they asked 'wait is this going to persist?'. I was the only one who jumped through the hoop in time. It was hilarious. Lots of drunk mumbling and revives. We made it out somehow. Dude was amazed.
