Played this week's DD and the map for stage 3 is so awesome. Do the devs create these maps somehow or do they just choose randomly generate ones?

There’s no selection on our part. They’re randomly generated, but the seed is the same for all players in a given week. Small variations occur, but overall the same experience. The Deep Dives also have a slightly different ruleset, which is why they don’t have a hazard number.

It is correct. There may be some slight difference in the formations allowed in Deep Dives vs Normal Missions, since some outcomes might be less than optimal. Same goes for mutators/warnings.
