Deep Rock Galactic

F : Throw a flare for light (refreshes over time, max capacity of 4) Shift : Sprint (Move faster to avoid bugs and jump further!) V : Raise your pickaxe to Rock and Stone! Left CTRL : Laser Pointer make call outs to your team (LMB / [SHOOT] at a point of interest) mark a personal waypoint (Press 'E' / [USE] at location). controll Bosco (dig minerals, shoot enemies, light up surfaces, pick up heavy objects, etc) With the laser pointer out, all allies and highlighted objects / creatures can be seen through walls. Waypoints are only viewable by you and appear on the terrain scanner as a (blue x). Appears on your HUD whenever the laser pointer is held.

Tab or M : Terrain Scanner Pulls up a 3D map to orient yourself and locate your teammates) While viewing the map, Scroll up / down to zoom in / out. Press 'Space' / [JUMP] to align yourself with your map view Terrain Scanner Rundown [www.tiktok.com]

Throw Hold LMB / [Shoot] while holding a heavy object to throw it further (a white bar will expand below your crosshair to indicate the strength). To cancel the throw, continue holding LMB till the bar disappears. Alternatively, you can use your pickaxe / terrain scanner / weapon swap (but that will cause you to drop the item)

As the driller, you are well suited for crowd control and general swarm clearing. All of the driller's primaries apply status effects and are typically close range. His movement option is a pair of drills, which lets him freely beeline towards objectives with tunnels and carve safer paths for his team.

Engineer is my favourite class due to how much versatility his arsenal affords him. Given enough prep time, both his primary and secondary options, coupled with his sentry gun(s) often lets him get the most kills in a game. His movement option is the platform gun, which grants him decent vertical and horizontal mobility.

Being the Gunner means having the single minded goal of shooting bugs. His primaries, while not having the highest burst, have large magazine sizes and are capable of long sustained damage. Whenever his team or himself is in danger, the Gunner can throw a shield generator to provide immediate cover for his team.

Playing as Scout, you will be spending most of your time mining minerals and providing light for your team. His primary and secondaries have high burst damage but relatively low ammo and crowd clearing capabilities. Thus, Scouts typically focus on killing high priority targets and leave the grunt clearing to the other classes. Equipped with the grappling hook, his high mobility lets him zip around to hard to reach areas and revive teammates in a pinch

Active: Dash, Field Medic, Iron Will Passive: Born Ready, Resupplier, Sweet Tooth, Thorns, Vampire

• Dash - All purpose low-cooldown mobility to escape danger and reach difficult locations. Scouts can drop this for FM and IW, since they are already so mobile. Using hover boots and jump right before the end of the speed boost to travel even further.
• Field Medic - Useful for clutch revives and when teammates are constantly going down (for playing with other greenbeards and those at higher hazards). In solo play, it's effectively useless
• Iron Will - Saves games by letting you move from a down state to get hp or revive someone. Pairs well with Resupplier (faster resupply speed), FM (potential double revive) and Vampire. Coordinate with your team on 'popping' IW.
• Born Ready - Quality of life perk that helps you keep up your DPS. Also works on Gunner Zip-line gun, Engineer's Platform gun and Scout's Flare gun.
• Resupplier - The higher up your haz level, the less hp you regen upon revive. This helps increase your overall survivability, and helps clutch games when you need to resupply near danger.
• Sweet Tooth - Helps maximise the free red sugars and provides potentially more healing than Vampire. Especially helpful for shield disruption missions.
• Thorns - Helps clear off trash mobs like Swarmers, Shockers and Larvae. This saves ammo and lets you concentrate more on larger threats like Mactera.
• Vampire - Keeps your hp topped off with more consistent healing than Sweet Tooth. Synergies with power attacks and Iron Will for pulling off self-revives.

Active: Hover Boots, Berzerker, Beast Master, Shield Link, Heightened Senses Passive: Deep Pockets, Friendly, Strong Arms, Unstoppable

• Hover Boots - Great for accidental falls, which happens a lot given how dark the game is. Good learning tool, but its long cooldown holds it back.
• Berzerker - Good for 10s of power attacks face tanking hordes / emergency mining. Combos well with Vampire if you land all your hits.
• Beast Master - Good for drawing away aggro, but requires you to babysit Steeve else he dies really quickly. Quite weak during Elimination and exploder infestation missions.
• Shield Link - Decent early game perk to have, but is effectively useless in solo play and shield disruption missions.
• Heightened Senses - Good early game perk. Can be avoided if you learn to check ceilings. Nice for Solo play and Scouts since they'll most likely be the ones entering unexplored areas alone.
• Deep Pockets is great for those who really like mining and gold rush missions. Fewer trips to deposit saves time, especially on Extraction missions where speed is doubly important.
• Friendly - Great, cheap early game perk for playing with trigger happy teammates. Falls in usefulness later on as you learn to avoid shooting teammates.
• Strong Arms - Useful for more efficient flare throwing, as it covers where you'll be moving towards more. A boon on Point Extraction missions.
• Unstoppable - Nice in Fungus Bogs, Magma Core, Sandblasted Corridors and Glacial Strata as they have slowing terrain / weather. The lack of control and presence of 'bunny hopping' makes it a weaker Dash.

Active: See You In Hell Passive: Elemental Insulation, It's a Bug Thing, Second Wind, Veteran Depositor

• See You In Hell - Both the passive and active help kill trash mobs which aren't much of a concern. At its best, the active can one-shot a Praetorian if you're playing solo up till haz 3 and the passive one-shot 1 grunt to the face. Pales in comparison to the other actives.
• Elemental Insulation - Most damage you want to resist is not resisted by this perk. Some use in Fungus Bogs where its difficult to avoid Poison Spores Fungus.
• It's a Bug Thing - Niche use in saving time / ammo killing loot bugs. Benefits more on On-site Refining missions where Loot Bugs are concentrated. Ideally only 1 team member whose a Scout has it equipped.
• Second Wind - Rare to be continuously running for 4-5s. Best case is when returning to the drop pod on Escort Duty, where it's likely to be flat ground. Second Wind Counter Arguement [karl.gg]
• Veteran Depositor Niche use during low-oxygen missions and last stages of Salvage Operation. But is difficult to get value off (mine heads allows enemies to hit from below)

Recommendations For your 1st perk, pick up either FM or HB as they offer the most value in a mission. In the early game, take the cheapest perks to get to the 4th row asap. Save up to get the New Passive Perk Slot as soon as you can. All classes benefit from Vampire, but Drillers especially so as his melee Axes and Drills can proc Vampire. For shield disruption missions, I like dropping Vampire for Sweet Tooth. For casual Point Extraction missions, I like running DP and SA

• Numerical ( 32122 ) - The most common
• Alphabetical ( CBABB ) - Likely popularised by MeatShield [karl.gg] (Reddit user u/ppstac2 and a co-creator of karl.gg ) with his "T3.B" convention.

• single puddle tap fire
• hold and release charged puddle bomb

• tap fire regular shots
• hold and release charged shots

• on any sentries (yours or your teammates')
• as long as the sentry has 1+ ammo loaded

• single shot tap fire
• hold and release automatic fire
• Red - bullet is blocked by terrain
• Orange - bullet is not block by terrain and will hit target

• one-shot grunts with 1-charge headshot grunts or 2-charge bodyshots
• one-shot Tri-jaws with a full charge.
• one-shot Slashers and Acid Spitters with 3-charge bodyshots

• Try to shoot Ziplines at a degree of 10 or more, as for every degree of sharpness, you gain a greater speed when releasing the brakes.
• If 2 players are going in the opposite directions, the descending player can jump off and over the ascending player to avoid the speed reduction from the "crossover"

• charged Focus shots

• Pheromone Bolt Baits enemies into a tight swarm, which can pair well with Fire DoT, M1000 blow-through or getting attention off you and your team to finish off high value targets / complete objectives.
• Chemical Bolt Causes enemies killed within 8s of being hit with this to blow up for a powerful 140 Poison damage explosion. With a 4m AoE radius, this coupled with its base 80 damage DoT is a powerful mod that gives solo Scouts decent swarm clear.
• Taser Bolt Applies the Electric DoT with a strong slow. This slow can be stacked multiple times onto single enemies with directly hits, or at the cost of 2 or more bolts, planted into terrain to create AoE electric "fences" between the bolts. This mod benefits from increased special bolt duration as it takes time to setup.

• Ebonite Mutation - Kill X number of rocky glyphids (only vulnerable to melee)
• OMEN - Stand within capture zones to reveal a "totem" boss weakpoints. Defeat the boss.
• Kursite Infection - Kill and deliver glowing "cocoons" to the Machine Event.
• Tritilyte Crystal - Deliver and throw specialied bombs to break a crystal cone

• Resupply pods
• Black Box Uplink & Fuel Pod (Salvage Operation)
• Refinery (Point Extraction missions)
• Doretta (Escort Duty missions)

• The Shield Link Perk is effectively useless
• The Gunner's Shield Generator functions as normal (repelling bugs and granting damage resistance) but will not restore personal shields.

URGENT COMPANY BRIEFING

Update changes, season event: meteor impact.

A rogue comet is passing through the system, shedding hundreds of infected meteoroids as the gravitational forces tear it apart. So far, every single one has carried with it a dormant form of Rockpox, and each one represents a clear and present danger to the Hoxxian ecosystem.

Be on the alert for meteor strikes during your normal missions. If one happens during your mission, clear out the impact zone immediately, and get ready to get cracking. Powerful Rock Cracker modules will be sent in from the Space Rig to assist you. These must be hooked up to the meteorite and maintained while they crack it open so you can get at the Plague Hearts inside. But beware the noise is sure to attract the locals!

The hearts themselves are highly prized by the R&D department with a Scrip awarded at the season terminal for every 6 Plague Hearts you bring back.

New Warning: Lithophage Outbreak

When you play a mission with a Lithophage outbreak Warning you will encounter an area in which the Plague Hearts have grown into full Contagion Spikes, rapidly spreading across the cave.

All missions with this warning come with two main objectives:

• Lithophage outbreak objective: First, you will need to destroy the Rockpox Contagion Spikes and the spreading corruption with R&D’s brand-new anti-contaminant tools. Be extra mindful of the creeping tide of Plague Larvae erupting from the infected area as you work, and be prepared for swarms of Glyphids that have already been struck by the Rockpox and seek to disrupt your endeavours.
• Normal main objective: Second, you will still need to complete the normal mining objective. Fighting the Rockpox is critical, but it does not pay the bills! The order in which you tackle these tasks is entirely up to you.

New Mission Equipment: Cleansing Tools

To help you deal with the Rockpox infection and neutralise the Contagion Spikes, R&D have whipped up some tools: the LithoFoamer and the LithoVac. Both will be needed to neutralise and cleanse an area affected by the Rockpox.

The process is quite simple:

• Step 1: Apply a generous coating of LithoFoam to Rockpox Blisters surrounding a Contagion Spike. The foam begins working on contact chemically bonding to the Rockpox while loosening the grip it has on the rock.
• Step 2: Use the LithoVac to suckup both the LithoFoam and any Rockpox it has bonded to.

Once enough of the surrounding Rockpox is cleared the Contagion Spike will collapse, taking any Rockpox remaining in the area with it.

New Grenades

As has become par for the course, there will be plenty of incentive to do your part. First of those are another round of additions to your arsenal, this time in the shape of new throwables.

Scout: Voltaic Stun Sweeper

The Scout has gotten his hands on an Electric Boomerang that bounces from target to target, electrocuting anything hostile on the way. No mentions of shrimps or barbies, please.

Driller: Springloaded Ripper

The Driller has seen fit to re-purpose one of his favorite power tools. He is now in possession of a motorised saw that powers along the ground and even up sheer walls, slicing and dicing anything it hits.

Engineer: Shredder Swarm

The Engineer has worked closely with R&D, and they have successfully made a portable robotic swarm from captured and reprogrammed Shredder Drones. Throw it on the ground to activate your very own posse of hacked drones that attack anything hostile on sight.

Gunner: Tactical Leadbuster

And the Gunner gets a grenade with a gun on it - because of course it is. Throw and attach this device to any surface, and it will saturate the surrounding area with a blistering hail of lead.

New Enemies: Lithophage

As if it’s not bad enough that the Lithophage is devouring the very rock beneath your feet, once a Contagion Spike matures it begins to grow pulsating pods, filled with Rockpox Larvae!

Rockpox Larvae

These squirmy little devils seek out victims en masse in an attempt to take them over. Shoot on sight and watch your backs. So far both Grunts and Praetorians having been sighted stumbling around covered in Rockpox growths.

Rockpox Grunts and Rockpox Praetorians

If you happen to come across a Rockpox Glyphid do not bother attacking it directly as the affected creatures can take a tremendous amount of damage and still keep going, we are not even sure if they are still really alive. However, if you aim for the glowing Rockpox boils covering their bodies, you can even take a Praetorian down in just a few shots.

New Performance Pass

On top of all that, a brand new Performance Pass with another 100 levels of unlocks will be activated, alongside an all-new Cosmetic Tree loaded to the gills with Cosmetics.

This of course means Season 02 is coming to an end, so now is the time to get mining if you still have anything you are dying to unlock right away. That said - don’t fret, anything you’ve yet to unlock will simply be added to the ordinary loot pools in the game - nothing goes away.

Gameplay Adjustments

We have added mission variety to all recurring assignments such as the promotion assignments. This way you no longer need to do the same missions every time you promote. Additionally the Industrial Sabotage mission will now also be available for selection in assignments.

Cave Room Variations

As we continue our exploration of Hoxxes, it only makes sense that we get some new sights on occasion. You can expect to see dozens of new cave shapes on missions now, with a special emphasis on Point Extraction missions that have been sorely lacking for a while. Don’t get lost, now.

Rival Content

With Season 3 focusing on the Lithophage we have modified the various Rival Events, Rival Presence Warning and Industrial Sabotage Mission.

The Industrial Sabotage mission is now treated as any other mission, including a slightly more streamlined lower-complexity version now also available on the mission map and in Deep Dives . On top of this we have also tweaked the mission a bit:

• Reduced minimum time to hack a generator
• Increased Transmitter Node connection Range a bit

We have also tweaked the Rival Patrol Bots based on what we’ve been hearing on the grapevine.

• Reduced bot acceleration/deceleration a bit so the bots are now a little easier to track
• Reduced damage of burst shots
• Reduced damage of sniper shots
• Reduced the speed and manoeuvrability of the homing missiles
• While the patrol bots can't be frozen solid, "freezing" them will still make their metal brittle and impart the standard damage bonus applied to frozen enemies but with all those hot electronics inside they warm back up quite quickly
• Increased the amount of heat damage required to set Patrol Bots on fire

The Rival Presence Warning is now also part of the standard warning rotation and is no longer guaranteed to be present on the mission map at all times.

Lastly, the 3 RIVAL EVENTS have been added to the general event pool with probabilities similar to the other events. The Data Cells which you can get from these events no longer will grant you scrip or bonus Performance Points but instead will give Credits and XP similar to the Korlok Tyrant Shards.
