AuthorThe hardest DL variant of the series. Designed for the most seasoned veterans out there.
Chart editorThe harder of the new Zeta series (Blitz, Maelstrom, Helldive), this difficulty is the spiritual successor of DR. It is fully pubbable and uses only vanilla enemies, except that the nexus spawn grunts instead of swarmers. Visual clarity has been improved with the removal of the elite enemies that were common in the previous versions of DW, DR, etc, but as a consequence the enemy composition lacks HVTs making waveclear builds very important. An interesting mechanic built into the difficulty is that the base enemy speed is Hazard 8 and keeps increasing with every resupply called, making kiting very hard at the end of long mission types.

About tier T7
A step-up from T6 but generally still doable on all mission types consistently if some fire comp weapons are substituted for better alternatives. Combat pressure will be slightly harder and the missions will be more sensitive to cave layouts and general spawn RNG.
