Is there a big enemy that needs to be taken care of asap? Ping it. If you see a mineral you want the Scout to reach or the Engi to platform, ping it. You are much more likely to survive with someone watching your back.Įqually as important: Communicate! You don’t even need to use the text or voice chat (although it makes communication a lot easier) Deep Rock has some amazing mechanics to show your intentions. If that’s not possible in time, get to another dwarf who is separated as well. There may be situations where you need to roam around, but as soon as something unexpected is going to happen, get back to your team. If you are in a team – always try to stick with your fellow dwarves. If used properly, Bosco may save you a ton of work! He can even build a pipeline for you or repair the pinged node if you are alone in an On-Site Refining. Just ping an enemy that needs to die, a mineral that needs to be mined or a spot on the ceiling that needs to be illuminated. If you are soloing a mission, you can order Bosco around with your laser pointer. Friendly fire may be not that important on lower hazards but will hurt a lot more once you get to the harder difficulties. Want to throw a C4 or a cluster grenade in the swarm in front of you? Quickly check if no one’s in there! Running blowthrough rounds? Check for teammates behind that particularly big bug! It may take some time to get used to do that and to take in all the information in a stressful situation, but it will certainly prevent some teamkills. And, if you don’t know what a certain thing, plant or mineral is, the laser pointer will show you its name on its screen and pinging it will trigger a voice line.Īlways watch your fire! You can use the outline feature not only if you get lost – but in combat, too. That waypoint only appears on your screen when using the laser pointer and as a blue dot for you on the terrain scanner. If you come across something you want to revisit later, you can set a waypoint by additionally pressing ‘E’. With a left click you can ping a location and draw the attention of your team to that spot. While using it you can see the outline of your teammates and Molly, supply drops, the refinery and the Minehead, as well as a very rough estimation of everyone’s ammo reserves in the form of 4 bars below their health bar. I can’t stress this one enough: Use your laser pointer (default key: Ctrl)! It is one of your most versatile tools. Part I.1: Your Best Friend the Laser Pointer I will rather tell you some more basic stuff you should know and follow, so you can finish your mission successfully.

I won’t discuss how to kill certain enemies or how to finish different objectives or machine events in the following, as there are other guides out there focusing on these exact things. Be aware, however, that there are no hard borders between these gameplay-parts and therefore, the tips are equally as useful in most situations you may encounter. The following passages will handle parts of the gameplay and will be thematically divided.

Some of them only appear as tips during loading screens, some are written down in the Miner’s Manual and some need to be discovered by oneself. There are a lot of mechanics hidden in DRG the game never tells you about in an obvious manner. Part I: General Knowledge and Survival Tips Even I learn new stuff occasionally here or in the Subreddit. But if you struggle, or someone is telling you to try a different approach to do this or that, be open and take advice! The game has a lot of hidden mechanics. Here I will discuss that specific role, the weaponry, and some fun builds.īut first, a little disclaimer: Never let other people tell you how to play! You don’t have to use ‘Meta’ builds or tactics as long as you’re having fun playing the game you are fine. Part II is a more in-depth guide for the class I played the most: The Gunner. This guide is going to be separated into two parts: Part I is going to be a general list of information I think is useful to know to get better at playing and understanding the game. Some of the tips may be obvious to some of you but may be new to few. With the ever-growing influx of new Greenbeards – especially after that recent sale – and myself hitting 750 hours not long ago, I finally decided to wrap up some of my knowledge and hand it down to Grey- and Greenbeards alike. So, I wanted to do something like this for a while now. In this guide, I will highlight some more or less hidden mechanics of DRG and some general tips and tricks before taking an in-depth look at the Gunner class, its role in a team, its weapons, modifications and overclocks, as well as recommending some builds.
