Abzu mining is pain

[jan.antilles]

First problem is that the standard diving suit does NOT fend off bullets that well. Taking it all point-blank will still bring me to crit. Second, I'm using my tools to full potential. Like, powering them on and everything. Third, other drones are way too fast and can easily catch up, especially if I'm at low health. This has happened to me before. Fourth, visibility in the trench is terrible, even with lights and meson goggles. I can barely see around to begin with, let alone minute little cracks in the ground.

If you're still having significant issues with the trench critters, I recommend using a submarine!
