armbarchris Strategies
armbarchris suggests effective digging techniques with the Driller, including diagonal tunnels and wall climbing. They also highlight the ability to mine while riding ziplines and emphasize the usability of personal flares and flashlights for visibility.
Since everyone already mentioned tricks with Driller’s tunnels and Gunner’s Ziplines the only advice left is a small trick that may or may not help: Your flares inherit some of your momentum, so you can be running, and/or jumping when you throw them so they travel a bit further to take a peek at a corner or make the flare go over a pit. – ML-Z
Strong arm perk really helps a lot without flares and it’s underestimated. – That_Xenomorph_Guy
Play in a darkened room and remember you have infinite flares you can throw. Wall stairs and careful ceiling tunneling. Wife and I often Duo and scout isn’t always an option. – RaphaelSolo
Use the wavecooker to momentarily light the ceiling. – mikistikis
Tip 1) don’t use your flare gun unless it’s to light up an important area like: big room, fighting location, objectives. 2) get good at throwing out your grapple VERY quickly without pinpointing where you want it. 3) don’t fight the waves, save those for gunners, fight the high-value targets. 4) get Engi to build platforms to mine high stuff. – Helvedica
