[DRG] Hazard Astral (a15) | Elite Deep Dive "Hard Shroud" 3-4-2025 (Gunner POV)

we're something slightly different this week. That is playing on my difficulty, on lowest tier (Astral - Celestial - Interstellar = 6x2EX - ND/NDS - FC).
And honestly this week ain't that bad despite having slightly off meta build with Cryo team, and an excuse for Coilgun without broken tier 3 and 4 mods. (maybe because Astral pacing isn't that difficult to say, resupply cost is generous for the expense of possibly harder pushing and definitely harder fighting).
Only second stage caught us offguard with how awful some of the cave gen are. And Ebonite, literally roadblocks that can soak up damage for the bugs until you melee them, they are pretty awful in an entry level cavemadness difficulty like this.
First try for this difficulty EDD I guess.
