SEASON 03: PLAGUE FALL

Hello Miners,
The Rivals have been pushed back for the moment, but only just in time for a brand new threat to rear its ugly head. An insidious lithophage, a sickness of the very rock beneath our feet, has struck Hoxxes.

Nicknamed the ROCKPOX, this planetary pathogen is spreading through the caves, infecting the rock and even directly affecting the local fauna. Even the hardy Dwarves can feel its insidious grasp.

Prepare for PLAGUEFALL!

With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

--- PATCH NOTES ---

NEW 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.

ROCKPOX INFECTION

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 INFECTED GRUNTS AND 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.

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.

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.

SPRINGLOADED RIPPER
The Driller has seen fit to repurpose 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.

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.

TACTICAL LEADBURSTER
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.

CAVE 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.

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.

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.

ASSIGNMENTS

ASSIGNMENT VARIETY
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.

PLAGUEFALL ASSIGNMENTS
We are also doing something a little different for the season assignment this time around. Instead of one long assignment, we are breaking it up into two shorter parts. Also, we have added Performance Points as a reward from these new season assignments.

WEAPON TWEAKS

SEASON 04: CRITICAL CORRUPTION

Hello Miners,

Welcome to SEASON 04 - CRITICAL CORRUPTION! Though we have gained great ground against the rampaging Lithophage in the past months, it remains a constant threat - and to make matters worse, reports of alarming new mutations are starting to come in.

Let’s get right into it!

With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

--- PATCH NOTES ---

SEASON EVENT: ROCKPOX CORRUPTOR

The Plague Hearts you have encountered previously have evolved. They will now turn into Lithophage Corruptors - ravenous, fully mobile abominations that spread Rockpox wherever they go. They appear impervious to normal gunfire, so you will need to use the Cleansing Equipment to get through their exterior shells and expose their soft, inner core.

NEW ROCKPOX ENEMIES

ROCKPOX BREEDER
A result of increased Rockpox infection of airborne fauna. The infection has changed the internal workings of its host to allow for Rockpox Larvae to sprout and thrive within its body.

ROCKPOX BOMBER
As if the Goo Bomber wasn’t bad enough already: The lithophage has spread to the volatile excretion this critter is so loved for, expanding the reach of the disease at a high rate.

ROCKPOX SPITTER
The Rockpox Acid Spitter has turned its already impressive bio-projectiles into a highly infectious Rockpox vector, and with a suppressed pain response and high dose of combat pheromones the Rockpox Spitter poses a far greater threat than before!

ROCKPOX EXPLODER
The Rockpox Exploder has had profound mutations to its body, thickening its skin and reducing its volatility in turn of being filled to the brim with highly contagious Lithophage spores. Being caught in the blast zone will instantly infect any dwarves nearby, so stay clear of them at all costs!

NEW ENEMIES

GLYPHID STINGTAIL
A powerful, heavily armored beast with a grasping tail, capable of pulling in any enemy and goring them against its massive horns. Take care around this one!

GLYPHID SEPTIC SPREADER
The malicious cousin of our old friend, the Glyphid Spitter. This one fires heavy globules of rancid biomatter, which spread out in a wide area around impact. Mind your step and try to ignore the smell!

JET BOOTS

You will now be able to recover crates of high powered jet modules in the caves. Attach these to your boots and turn them into fully functional jet boots, giving you a much-needed leg-up during any hardships you may encounter!

SPACE RIG ADDITION: JETTY BOOT

Back home, a bit of redundant machinery has been cleared out, opening up the Space Rig a bit more - which handily allows plenty of space to install a training terminal for the coded locks you will encounter on the Jet Boot crates. It would appear some smart-aleck has even seen fit to build an arcade cabinet to fit it into. Bring lots of credits!

NEW BEER: RANDOWEISSER

This potent ale reportedly instills a sense of adventure and lust for challenge in whoever drinks it, randomizing all equipment and cosmetics for the duration of a mission. Drink it at your own leisure!

EQUIPMENT TERMINAL: RANDOMIZE LOADOUTS

At the Loadout Terminal, a new option to randomize all your gear and upgrades has also become available, enabling you to quickly set up challenges for yourself. Why would anyone do this? Well, never let it be said we do not wish to enable our employees!

COMMUNITY REQUEST: COPY/PASTE LOADOUTS

Additionally, you can now copy and paste loadouts for a smoother experience when experimenting with new weapon and mod combinations, without the hassle of redoing everything from scratch!

WARDROBE: SLEEVELESS ARMORS

Some of your armors now come with a new option: Toggle between sleeveless versions of most of your owned sets! This does not count for DLC Armors or armors that are already sleeveless.

NEW MUSIC

A new track called “Journey of the Prospector” has been added to the game as mission background music. We hope you enjoy it while prospecting the depths of Hoxxes.

WEAPON INPUT BUFFER

Thanks to the hard work of the folks at R&D, all semi-automatic weapons now come with fancy input buffering. This will make it easier to consistently maintain a high rate of fire, especially on weapons like the Subata, M1000, and EPC.

WEAPON BALANCE

SUBATA 120
The Subata has long been in need of an update. As always if you unlocked any of the removed upgrades their cost will be refunded.

Increased base weakpoint damage bonus (from 1.2 to 1.25)
Reduced base ammo (from 160 to 144)

Patch Notes: S04:10 (build 93094 16/11/2023)

Hello Miners,

The November Maintenance Update is now live! If you haven’t already seen the trailer, it’ll give you a good idea of everything that’s coming today. We’ll post that here, and you’ll find the full patch notes down below.

Now active: Toggle option for Season content

We’ve added the ability to opt out of Season content, for those of you that want to put your game into a ‘season neutral’ state. We’re introducing it now, and we plan on keeping this feature in all future seasons.

To unlock this ability, you need to reach level 100 in the Performance Pass, and claim the level 100 reward. After you do that, a check box option will become available in the Season Terminal interface.

If you uncheck that box, here’s what happens:
-The Lithophage Corruption Zone will disappear from the map in your Mission Terminal.
-The chance of encountering Lithophage Outbreak Warnings on the map will become equal to other mission Warnings (like Rival Presence or Elite Threat, for example)
-Rockpox enemy waves will not spawn outside of Lithophage Warnings and Events
-The chance of Meteor Strike & Lithophage Corruptor events will become equal to previous season events (like the Rival Prospector)

Put simply, this option makes all Lithophage-related content as common as the Rival content currently is in the game. Doing this will also make it harder to obtain Plague Hearts and complete some Season Challenges, as these depend on Lithophage enemies and infestations. Keep in mind that when joining a lobby, it’s the host’s own season toggle setting that will apply to the session.

This function is completely optional, and you can always turn it on or off whenever you like.

Introducing the Weapon Maintenance reward system

You’ll find a new tab in your Season Terminal: the Weapon Maintenance section. This is a bit of new content, meant to track and reward proficiency with the weapons in the DRG arsenal.

The Weapon Maintenance screen tracks your experience with each gun in the game. Once you earn enough XP with a specific weapon equipped (counting toward both your primary and secondary in any mission), you’ll unlock exclusive paint jobs for that gun!

We’re starting with four paintjobs to unlock, one for each season we’ve done so far. These new Weapon Mastery color schemes are:

WM1 'Yellowjacket'
WM2 'Cobalt Crackle'
WM3 'Heroic'
WM4 'Grasshopper'

This is going to be a seasonal feature, so with every new season in the future, there’ll be a special paintjob you can earn for every weapon. And these are never going to be season-locked – so you can always earn them for every gun, even if you don’t manage it before the next season rolls around.

In short, you can now electrocute these enemies. Zap!⚡

The February Maintenance Update has landed!

Hello Miners,

Happy February Maintenance Update day! For this one, we’ve focused on the bugs and issues that got the most community upvotes in our PleaseFix portal. In case you haven’t heard of that, it’s the best way to report and document bugs you come across in the game. DRG leasefix: https://drg.pleasefix.gg/projects/DEEP-ROCK-GALACTIC

Okay, enough chit-chat. Let’s dive into the patch notes.

With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

--- PATCH NOTES ---

GENERAL BUG FIXES

Fixed a bug that caused Nayaka Trawlers (AKA sand sharks) to not target players unless damaged by players
Fixed a bug that let players spam-deposit the same Kursite chunk over and over again, cheesing the Kursite Grinder event https://drg.pleasefix.gg/projects/DEEP-ROCK-GALACTIC/issues/DRG-702
Fixed that Dreadnoughts were teleporting for clients in certain situations
Fixed that Molly’s escape button would not appear in Industrial Sabotage missions if you completed the Contagion Spike cleaning objective last. https://drg.pleasefix.gg/projects/DEEP-ROCK-GALACTIC/issues/DRG-1926
Fixed an issue where some AoE attacks themselves could be affected by status effects
Fixed an issue that sometimes caused sleeves to not match the player’s loadout when displayed in the mission end screen
https://drg.pleasefix.gg/projects/DEEP-ROCK-GALACTIC/issues/DRG-1737
Fixed a bug with doors on the Space Rig getting desynced between players
https://drg.pleasefix.gg/projects/DEEP-ROCK-GALACTIC/issues/DRG-976

https://drg.pleasefix.gg/projects/DEEP-ROCK-GALACTIC/issues/DRG-105
Fixed that the Grappling Hook would immediately pull Scout (ignoring the ‘casting’ time) when using Jet Boots
https://drg.pleasefix.gg/projects/DEEP-ROCK-GALACTIC/issues/DRG-1009
Fixed a bug with the server list that caused Hazard 5 missions to always appear even when they should be locked, leading to new players accidentally joining Hazard 5 (lol)
Fixed a bug that caused Bosco skins and frameworks to appear in Cargo Crates instead of the Lost Packs as intended. https://drg.pleasefix.gg/projects/DEEP-ROCK-GALACTIC/issues/DRG-1185

WEAPON TWEAKS AND FIXES

Fixed Hyper Propellant OC (40mm PGL) working incorrectly with T4A Homebrew Explosive mod. This mod was only supposed to affect the actual explosion, therefore these changes have been made to make it more clear:
The ‘Homebrew Explosive‘ mode has been changed to only affect radial damage on the weapon’s projectile.
Therefore, it should no longer affect upgrades that do direct damage, such as the Spiky Grenade modification or the direct damage of the Hyper Propellant OC.
Prior to the change, Homebrew Explosive had no effect on neither direct nor area damage of Hyper Propellant.
https://drg.pleasefix.gg/projects/DEEP-ROCK-GALACTIC/issues/DRG-747
Fixed a bug with Cryo Cannons T5A ‘Fragile’ mod, where shattered enemies didn’t die as expected on higher hazards.
https://drg.pleasefix.gg/projects/DEEP-ROCK-GALACTIC/issues/DRG-1447
Fixed a bug causing the Shard Diffractor’s ‘Bio-Mass Converter’ mod to not work for clients
https://drg.pleasefix.gg/projects/DEEP-ROCK-GALACTIC/issues/DRG-49
Fixed a bug with the Turret Arc OC (“Stubby” Voltaic SMG) where the electric damage bonus from Gemini turrets didn’t cause any additional damage when used with some other weapons
https://drg.pleasefix.gg/projects/DEEP-ROCK-GALACTIC/issues/DRG-1708
Fixed a bug causing Turret EM Discharge OC (“Stubby” Voltaic SMG) to not proc at certain angles
Fixed a bug that caused Stubby’s ‘Upgraded Capacitors’ mod roll two attempts with a 25% chance, instead of one roll with a 50% chance to proc. Basically, now there’s a higher chance to proc the electric effect
https://drg.pleasefix.gg/projects/DEEP-ROCK-GALACTIC/issues/DRG-1752

ARMOR BREAK SECTION / WEAPON ARMOR MOD FIXES

As discussed in the preview post, we’ve cooked up a few tweaks to make enemy armor behave more consistently, and give more incentive to pick the ‘Armor Breaking’ modification on your weapons.

Fixed a bug where projectiles for the Deepcore 40mm PGL, DRAK-25, and Hurricane could hit an enemy and break the armor, but not damage the enemy in the same hit.
Fixed a bug where Heavy Armor (as found on the Praetorian) did not scale with Hazard level. It never used to do this -- so the Heavy Armor on a Haz 2 Praetorian would be just as strong as it is on a Haz 5 Praetorian, for example. This is no longer the case.
Fixed a bug where the Boomstick’s ‘Improved Blast Wave’ mod did not deal damage to armor. The shockwave now uses radial damage instead of custom damage, so it should work against armor now.

TYPOS

Fixed some, probably made some new ones

INTRODUCING HIDDEN DWARF BEER

We’ve got a brand new brew up in the Abyss Bar! Next time you mosey on over to the bar, you’ll find that Lloyd is ready to pour up a round of delicious Hidden Dwarf Double IPA.

It’s been fun to see everybody’s speculations on what this beer does.

Some people speculated that it gives you Barrel Armor. This is not the case.
Others guessed that it transforms you into a barrel. This is partially correct.
A few thought they’d heard the Hydengözik Brewery name before. They have.

So how can we describe this tantalizing new beverage? Well, to best experience the transformative flavor of Hidden Dwarf, we recommend you gather a few pals and order a round together.

You’ll find that it starts a prop hunt mode on the Space Rig. 🙂

NEW FEATURES AND TWEAKS

Experience earned for Weapon Maintenance skin rewards now carries over to other skins already in your backlog. Now you can earn everything without having to check in and ‘redeem’ stuff you’ve already unlocked
Reorganized the audio options, so there’s a stronger visual indicator that the ‘Character’ & ‘Mission Control’ volume sliders are both subject to the ‘Sound Effects’ volume slider
The menu’s Audio tab now has a ‘Steam settings’ button for easier access to Steam’s own audio settings
Renamed the Merch tab in the menu to “DRG Universe” and added a new module for Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor
Adding a small monitor near the Assignment Board that displays a countdown until a current seasonal event ends. This will first be visible during this year’s Anniversary Event. More on that soon!

SEASON 05: DRILLING DEEPER

Forecast calls for a 100% chance of rock and stone.

Hello Miners,

Welcome to SEASON 05 - DRILLING DEEPER! Management’s got their sights set on mineral riches deeper down toward Hoxxes’ core, which means we’re increasing your depth of operations. You’re venturing down deeper than ever before, claiming unprecedented treasures for the company, and confronting all the lethal horrors that might stand in the way.

In other words, it’s another great day at work.

Let’s get right into it!

With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

--- PATCH NOTES —

NEW MISSION: DEEP SCAN

Management has identified a new mineral priority: Morkite Seeds. Rumor has it that these could optimize the Morkite refining process tenfold. The problem is, they’re located much deeper down in Hoxxes than we’re used to, hidden away in dazzling Morkite Geodes.

You’re going to have to locate several Resonance Crystals in the cave system using the provided Telemetric Rangefinder. Use the Crystals to perform Deep Scans and pinpoint the location of the Morkite Geode. Once you’ve got that, a Drillevator will be sent down to bring you to the Geode where you can collect the precious Morkite Seeds.

Management advises that you familiarize yourself with the mission details in the Miners Manual prior to your first descent. Good luck!

SEASON EVENT: CORE STONE

Reports are coming in of a peculiar new mineral formation in the caves. R&D’s best guess is it’s something from deeper down near the core of Hoxxes. What we know for certain is that these formations contain a Core Stone – and Management wants to get their hands on them.

But beware: Once you disturb the Core Stone, you’re in for a fight. It’ll open up rifts in the cave walls, and summon a hideous new enemy, unlike anything we’ve seen in Hoxxes so far. They’re called Corespawn Crawlers, and they’re not to be underestimated. Fight them off as you neutralize the Core Stone, then deposit the Stone in a specialized extraction pod to complete the event.

NEW ENEMIES

GLYPHID STALKER
A cunning new Glyphid variant. This enemy is capable of cloaking to near-invisibility, burrowing for rapid repositioning, and launching ambush attacks that temporarily disable your shields.

VARTOK SCALEBRAMBLE
An invasive, semi-sentient plant consisting of an impenetrable, acid-spitting core, and an array of sensory feeler nodules. Take out the nodules to open up the core.

BARRAGE INFECTOR
A new variant of the Infector species – this one’s bigger, tougher, and shoots a salvo of explosive bile. Aim for the sac, and watch out for splash damage.

CORESPAWN CRAWLER
Unlike any creature previously spotted in the caves of Hoxxes, these mysterious fiends should not be underestimated. You’ll need to dispatch them without hesitation if you want to make it home alive.

HAZARD 5+

Added Hazard 5+ to offer experienced players an extra level of challenge. With Hazard 5+, you can adjust four variables to add to the baseline Hazard 5 difficulty:
Aggressive Enemies
Player Vulnerability
More Enemies
Tough Enemies
Each of the four options can be adjusted to your tastes, and each offers two levels of increased intensity. This feature will only be available at the Hazard 5 difficulty.

All Haz 5+ games will be categorized together in the server list, and you’ll be able to see which specific modifier switches they have. This difficulty level must be unlocked via the “Beyond Lethal” assignment.

NEW PRIMARY OVERCLOCKS

Added 12 new Overclocks (one for each primary weapon), plus a rework of an existing Overclock.

Rotary Overdrive (“Lead Storm” Minigun)
Mortar Rounds (“Thunderhead” Autocannon)
Cluster Munitions (“Hurricane” Rocket System)
Burst Fire (Deepcore GK2)
Marked for Death (M1000 Classic)
Conductive Thermals (DRAK-25 Plasma Carbine)
Pump Action (“Warthog” Auto 210)
Hyperalloy Assembly (“Stubby” Voltaic SMG)
[Rework] Micro-Conductor Add-On (“Stubby” Voltaic SMG)
SmЯt Trigger OS™ (LOK-1 Smart Rifle)
Scorching Tide (CRSPR Flamethrower)
Crystal Nucleation (Cryo Cannon)
Combustive Goo Mix (Corrosive Sludge Pump)

NEW DEEP DIVE SECONDARY OBJECTIVES

DEEP SCAN: Use the Telemetric Rangefinder to locate Resonance Crystals, and unearth them so you can call down a Resonance Scanner and get it hooked up to the crystal to perform a Deep Scan.
LIQUID MORKITE EXTRACTION: Find a single well of liquid Morkite, call down a Pumpjack, and build a pipeline to a Morkite Extraction Pod. The Morkite must flow!

NEW SECONDARY OBJECTIVES

BHA BARNACLES: This pernicious and rather gross invasive species has taken up residence in some caves. They like to burrow in the ceilings. Look up, and shoot them out wherever you see them.
SWARMER EGGS: We’ve noticed new clutches of Glyphid eggs popping up. Like most eggs, they are completely defenseless. Track them down and smash them with any tools at your disposal.

NEW WARNINGS

DUCK AND COVER: Macteras, Infectors and Spitters, oh my! Jump into a cave packed with an extra helping of projectile-shooting enemies. This time, the bugs shoot back.

EBONITE OUTBREAK: The caves have an unusual concentration of stony-armored Ebonite Glyphids. Their only vulnerability is melee damage. Better keep those pickaxes close at hand.

NEW ANOMALIES

SECRET SECONDARY: Management has tacked on another side objective for you. A second secondary, if you will. You’ll find out what it is once you’re down in the dig site.

BLOOD SUGAR: Bad news: The caves are filled with airborne toxins that constantly drain your health. Good news: These toxins also make Glyphid blood crystallize into healing Red Sugar. You’ll need to kill to survive.

REACTIVATING SEASONS

We’ve added the ability to reactivate any season any time you want, and play through them at your own pace. There’s also an option to disable seasonal content altogether. You can access all this in a new tab in the Season Terminal.

NEW OMMORAN HEARTSTONE PHASE

This is something we wanted to do for a long time. The Omoran Heartstone now has a third attack phase in its repertoire adding a bit of unpredictability to the encounter. For this new attack the Ommoran targets a random player, attempting to trap the unfortunate dwarf in crystal growths bursting out of the ground. Stay mobile and be extra vigilant when in the vicinity of the Drilldozer, as the crystals bursting out of the ground can damage it.

NEW DANCE MOVES

We were able to teach the dwarves three new dance moves:
Twerk
Bully Maguire
Spongebob Shuffle

COSMETIC FILTERING

We’ve implemented a few handy options to keep track of your growing wardrobes. You’ll now be able to filter your cosmetics by subtype, style and season, making it quicker to put the perfect look together. We’ve also introduced a ‘Novelty’ and ‘Company Approved’ toggle for the Randomize option, to give you a bit more control over your randomized outfits.

REWORKED STATUS EFFECT OVERLAYS

Added and reworked 20+ visual overlays for status effects, like getting webbed, set on fire, or breaking your shield.

LOST PACKS, CARGO CRATES & MATRIX CORES: NEW ITEMS TO COLLECT

Added:
Weapon framework: Danger Dice
Pickaxe set: Diamond Cutter
Pickaxe set: Spring Loaded
Armor paint job: Harbinger
Armor paint job: Ikari
Armor paint job: Retro Galaxy
Weapon paint job: Flaming Hot
Weapon paint job: Buff
Weapon paint job: Bubblegum

NEW PROMOTION TIERS

Added an expanded promotion tracker to show the number of promotions past Legendary III (better known as Red III). Now you can really show off your work experience.

NEW WEAPON MAINTENANCE PAINT JOBS

We’re building out the Weapon Maintenance reward system with three new paint jobs to earn:
WM 5.1 ‘LIBERTY’
WM 5.2 ‘HEAVY METAL’
WM 5.3 ‘DRAGON SCALE’

NEW SKIN TONES

Automatically added to default inventory:
Almond
Cool Brown
Deep Brown
Olive
Porcelain

Skin tones added to The Shop:
Orcish
Cerulean Blue
Rager

NVIDIA DLSS3 INTEGRATION

Enabling integration of this neat tech that boosts your framerate (requires a GeForce RTX 40xx series GPU). You’ll find the toggle for this in the Graphics menu under ‘Frame Generation’.

GAME OPTIMIZATION

Added a bunch of small optimizations to things like enemies, UI and loading of objects. Mmm more frames yum

COMMUNITY REQUESTS

Added voiceline kill cries for Mactera Grabber, Glyphyd Acid Spitter and Web Spitter
Added a ‘select random mission’ option in the Mission Terminal (only available for hosts)
Glyphid Acid Spitter: Changed the Acid Spitter's projectile DoT damage type from Generic to Poison (the projectile impact damage remains Kinetic)
Q'ronar Shellback: Changed the Shellback projectile damage type from Explosive to a mix of Explosive and Poison

pickaxe Patch Notes: S05.10 (120015 - 01/07/2025) pickaxe

Hello Miners,

We have made some changes to how modding behaves in DRG, as well as updating the Mod.io API. We have moved Modding from the menu in the Spacerig to the start of the game on the info screen. The idea behind this was to reduce potential errors that could happen because of hot loading mods. We have kept the modding menu in the Spacerig, but as view-only so players can see what mods they have active, but no changes can be made on this menu except loading back to the info screen.

Since the Mod.io API has been updated, we now also have an ingame mod browser, as well as the option to use your preferred browser. The API update should also have several years of fixes for the plugin.

With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

** --- PATCH NOTES —-**

Updated modding behaviour
Added missing hit reactions on enemies
Fixed Glyphid forelegs not being blown off when killed by explosions
Increased visibility of Unknown Horror when in Medium and Low Effect Quality.
Added content for upcoming events
Updated game credits with latest translators

We have hopefully fixed the issue where mods would be disabled after reloading the game. In addition we also added a Refresh button to the modding menu, that should help resolve various issues when there are issues connecting between the game and mod.io.

With Love,

** --- PATCH NOTES —-**

Fixes issues where some had mods disable when reloading the game, forcing them to enable their mods everytime they started the game

KNOWN ISSUE:
When refreshing on the modding menu, it will say mods have been disabled due to a crash. This is just an UI issue with the prompt, as mods are still loaded

pickaxe SEASON 06: ‘Relics of Hoxxes’ is NOW LIVE! pickaxe

Hello Miners,

Welcome to SEASON 06 - RELICS OF HOXXES! New discoveries on Hoxxes require your urgent attention. You’re delving into a brand new planetary region, pursuing new riches, and facing off those who might stand in the Company’s way.

With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

NEW MISSION: HEAVY EXTRACTION

The Company has detected a new material that was recently unearthed by a series of planetwide tectonic shifts. Huge deposits of Resinite have been discovered all over Hoxxes.

Delve underground, seek out the Resinite Masses, dig them free, and extract them via the lift rockets we send down to assist in the endeavor. We’ve got no equipment to triangulate the exact location of Resinite Masses, so keep your eyes peeled for great amber chunks sticking out of the ground.

As always, Management recommends familiarizing yourself with the mission details in the Miner’s Manual aboard the Space Rig. Good luck down there!

NEW BIOME: OSSUARY DEPTHS

A new planetary region has been discovered, and management has approved The Ossuary Depths for extraction operations. This gloomy new biome is home to a grim collection of skeletal remains gathered from all over Hoxxes.

And among these dusty bones lives a new threat: The Ossirans.

NEW ENEMIES

OSSIRAN SCRAB
This winged menace is capable of swarming you from above and below. It’s an agile threat when flying through the air, and a thick shell puts up a strong defense when grounded.

OSSIRAN PIT JAW
This larger variant of Ossiran lies in wait just below the surface, ready to ambush any dwarf that wanders too close. Its jaws are strong enough to incapacitate, and it’ll take a good chunk out of your health if it catches you. It may let you go, especially if provided with sufficient incentive from your allies, but be warned - once its cover is blown, the Pit Jaw will relocate to set up another ambush nearby.

OSSIRAN BONE COLLECTOR
Lacking any offensive capabilities, the Bone Collector will flee when confronted by a heavily armed dwarf. Should you encounter it, give it a fright and keep an eye on where it runs off to…

SEASON EVENT: OSSIUM RAID

Ossiran Bone Collectors have been spotted all over Hoxxes. You’ll know them by their distinct blue glow and scurrying movements (no, it’s not Scout). The Bone Collectors are harmless, and will run off when threatened (wait is it Scout?). Once they do, follow their trail through the caves until you reach their lair. Digging through a thin layer of dirt, you’ll find a secret trove of Ossium gems, a unique and valuable byproduct of the Ossirans’ bone collections.

Be aware: Disturbing the Ossium gems will alert nearby nesting Scrabs, so be careful when raiding these Ossium troves.

NEW DEEP DIVE SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: HEAVY EXTRACTION

Find a Resinite Mass, dig it free, and extract it using the provided lift rockets.

NEW WARNINGS

@everyone
Hey Miners

** --- Patch Notes --- **

Mission End

Survival Bonus is doubled up from 75 credits to 150 credits pr surviving player. NOTE: we wanted to extend this to Material bonus as well, but that requires significant rework of the End Mission UI, so that will have to wait.
Mission Failed now gives a 25% compensation reward based on minerals collected

Co-op sessions

Getting kicked now results in Mission Failed, compensation based on contribution
Added a new flow and info for Kicking and getting Kicked
You can no longer Join a session after Drop Pod has been called
You can no longer Kick a player from a session after Drop Pod has been called
Tweaked text on Mission Map in regards to new public/ private flow
Reworded Server List filter to Show Open and Show Password Servers
Add Private Server checkbox in escape menu
Added indicator for a joining player to team view

Solo mode

Bosco should now save you from the cave leeches more consistently
Bosco now also gets to play with the big lights. He goes woosh and then you can see a lot more than before :)
Bosco now has friendly fire reduction 0.2 instead of 1
Bosco Deals 100 % more damage (doubled from 3 to 6)
Bosco now gets a 250% speed boost when you order him around. Also increased his acceleration from 300 to 550

Class Balance: Buffed the Driller’s tools

Flamethrower Fuel capacity upped from 160 to 270 units, and each canister holds 90 instead of 80 units. That means the flamethrower now has fuel for three full reloads instead of two, and each reload holds more fuel.
Flamethrower Range upped from 8.5m to 10 m
Power Drills: Fuel upped from 30 to 35
Increased walk speed while drilling with 10 %
Melee damage with drills: Attack speed has been DOUBLED, while the damage of each attack has been lowered from 10 hp to 8 hp. (to compensate for double attack speed)
Upgrade Melee Drill damage: 5 hp to 4 hp (to compensate for double attack speed)

Intro screen

Text & Button for Steam group no longer shown when rewards have already been claimed

Sound, Effects & Animations

Idle animations on Pistol and Revolver (also triggered by Reload on full ammo)
New Spitballer sound and Maggot sound

Localization

Added language selection to Intro screen
Croatian, Finnish, Italian and Japanese added
All languages updated (as usual new features lagging behind, will show English)
Updated community translator credits
Added missing characters for Polish language.
Some buttons with text did not correctly update after a new language was selected.

Misc Fixes

Vanity items would sometimes not be correctly displayed on the dwarves in the terminals.
Key '5' is now available for custom key bindings
Fix Late Join crash if joining right when the level ends.
Fixed: you can no longer edit the Hint text while loading!
Maptool not updating correctly when terrian changes
Disabled Enter key for password pop-up (resulted in a broken state).

Known Issues

Mouse sensitivity has several issues affecting some players. We are working on a solution, but it didn’t make it into this patch
Multiple monitors: For some users the game starts on the wrong monitor.
Typing a wrong password when joining a password protected server results in a “Multiplayer Session Ended” pop-up.
Rejoining a game forces you into youtr previous Class no matter what you select. Many players have asked for a way to lock the game to one of each class. This has many design and implementation consequences, but it’s something we will address soon
If the Host quits the game (“Exit to Desktop”) or crashes or Alt-F4, connected players will get a “Multiplayer Session Ended” with no rewards (and the Host is not rewarded either). This is more a point of information on how the game works than a Known Issue.

Update 10: "Tunnel Vision?" is now live on Steam!

Here are the detailed patch notes for Update 10

📎 Patch11_DeadAndGun.jpg

Hi @everyone

We have yet another update for you with some cool new features, some tweaks and bug fixes. Along with these smaller updates, we are now initiating some larger content and feature development. More on this later, when we reveal a larger roadmap of things to come.

--- PATCH NOTES ---

**COMMUNITY REQUESTED FIXES

GUNNER GATLING GUN REWORK**
There’s a been a lot of talk about the Gatling Gun being too weak especially on higher difficulties. We agree, and we have made a bunch of tweaks to it:

Starting Ammo Capacity changed from 1800 to 1600 rounds.
It is now fed ammo continuously from a single, upgradeable ammo drum - no more reloading!
Overheats slightly faster - tweaked from 10 seconds of continuous fire to 9.
Overheating is more punishing - time to cool down raised from 8 seconds to 10
Upgrades reworked: Upgrades involving ammo and magazine increase have now been made to only focus on the magazine size. First upgrade originally gave you +400 bullets to max ammo it has been changed to +400 to magazine size. Second magazine upgrade will give you a total boost of +400 bullets where it before only increased the magazine size. Resulting in the Gatling Gun packing impressive 2400 bullets when maxed out!
New Tungsten Bullet upgrade for Gatling Gun has been added allowing you to boost the damage 25%. A mandatory upgrade for players with affinity for Extreme difficulty.
Added smoke effect to make it more obvious when you overheats

A BETTER BOSCO
If you pointed at a really tiny chunk of unmined minerals Bosco would go there and not find the tiny chunk then abort the task. Now he can find the chunk and dig it. Bosco is also much better at not sneaking up in front of you when you are mining. All quality of life fixes to you favorite drone!

**NEW STUFF

TEAM CAMS LET YOU STAY IN THE ACTION**
1st iteration of Team Cams - Keep an eye on your teammates are doing while you are incapacitated. Now it is less of a downer being down!

ELECTRO CRYSTALS
Deadly Electro Crystals have been added to Crystal Caverns. Don’t get too close - they pack a punch!

**TRAVERSAL TOOLS PROHIBITED IN DROP POD **
Platforms (and Supply Pods) can not spawn/ attach to drop pod anymore. We get it... some of you had fun filling up the Drop Pod with platforms, but Management reminds you that Platform Concrete is notoriously hard to clean out!

GRAVITY RECALIBRATION
A temptingly tantalizing button called “Gravity Recalibration” has been activated on the Space Rig. Management will likely frown on employees abusing it - but it’s so big and red...

FIXED STEAM REGION SEARCH
Before some people had a hard time finding games in their own region. We have fixed this now (we hope)!

...And tons of minor stuff, mostly bug-fixes behind the scenes, but also small visual upgrades. For full overview see the patch notes below.

**FULL CHANGE LIST

CAVE CONTENT**

Electric Plants are now Crystals and can be found in the Crystal Caverns Region
Try to prevent dead end tunnels when they are really small and have tight bends.

WEAPONS & TOOLS

Gatling Gun reworked
Pickaxe will be less aggressive in hitting non hostile objects
FIX: Grappling hook getting stuck in grapple mode
Prevent Pickaxe when using Last Equipped weapon key
Rephrased super shotgun upgrade to match that it does not get double barrel fire only faster fire rate.
Fixed Shotgun reload speed upgrade not showing correct numbers

BOSCO

Bosco can now detect smaller veins of minerals when you order him to mine
Bosco is now be better at not being in the way when you're mining minerals

HUD / UI

FIX: Control layouts now contains Controller Layout (again)
Fixed large upgrade digits barely fit in the UI
Mission Map locked mission gfx update
Mission Map: Mission Icons now transparent if mission is locked, Password has correct spacing
Fix ui bug if incoming player is kicked before he selected character

SPACERIG

There is a new switch in the space rig, I wonder what it does?

DOWN CAMERA MODE

Cycle through players while waiting to be revived or for the game to end. No more staring at your soon to be corpse!

SERVER LIST

Server List got a facelift
Fixed Search Distance in server browser

SAVEGAMES

Beta branches in Steam will now save to separate save games. (Copies the save from main the first time). A backup save will now be saved after each mission, it checks total character XP so it should never be overwritten by a game with less progress.
Create backup save before upgrading to version 11 savegame

LOCALIZATION

Updated all languages from Crowdin
Korean added to game

SOUND, ANIMATION & EFFECTS

Improved cave leech sounds
Made Fire animations for flamethrower and gatling gun loop correctly instead of starting over repeatedly
Fixed tracer on assault rifle
Shield & health damage overlays now clears after revive
Drop Spike audio fix
Added maggot crawl audio
Tweaked camera offset on 1st person arms.
Gatling Gun muzzle particle offset tweaked
Tweaked Tentacle audio location

Scaled up the flamethrower particles

Try to fix/improve network errors. Enable kick of players that have not selected a character
Fixed flare gun flare randomly getting ejected from walls when they are destroyed nearby
Fixed depth meters for Biomes
Better support for pathfinder blockers and danger zones. NPCs recalculate paths when entering an area that has changed.
You can no longer revive while carrying a gem
Fixed enemies not being able to walk where the drop pod was landed after it has taken off
Platforms can no longer form inside the drop pod
Supply Pods can only be called down on terrain.
Better host quit message

Fix dwarf status is not shown on endscreen

Hey Miners!

It’s patch time again, and we have a bunch of cool new stuff for you! Tweaks, bug fixes, and the first new enemy! Also, along with these smaller updates, we are now initiating some larger content and feature development. More on this later, when we reveal a larger roadmap of things to come.

--- COMMUNITY REQUESTED FIXES---

BOSCO JOINS YOU IF YOU START A HOSTED GAME ALONE
A very popular request from the community has been for Bosco to join you when you start hosting a game. This way you can start mining with Bosco assisting you, while you wait for your friends or strangers to join your game. We have done a rough first implementation with no bells and whistles, and it works like this:

Bosco joins you when you start hosting a public/ private game and head in alone.
When the first a player joins your game, Bosco will self-destruct for that game session.

JADIZ BUFF
Jadiz has been one of the hardest crafting materials to collect and we have buffed it! Jadiz will now spawn a bit more often in the Crystalline Caverns region and we have changed the value range of it from 7-18 to 10-18.

WANT NICE CLEAN SCREEN SHOTS?
Some of you have been requesting been able to take nice clean screenshot and we actually also need that feature! Now you can Hold [H] to toggle the HUD on/off.

--- NEW STUFF ---

**NEW ENEMY: SAY HELLO TO THE MACTERA SPAWN! **
The Mactera Spawn is our first proper flying enemy. It will attack from a distance using its vomit attack. Smack that Fly!

**SWARMER TUNNELS **
You can now come across strangely looking small tunnels coming out of the walls. Glyphid Swarmers live here. They are very territorial and will aggressively defend their nest! A simple advice: Avoid them!

**CAVE LEECH LETS YOU GO “GENTLY” WHEN IT DIES! **
Previously, when a dwarf was dropped from a dying Cave Leech, he might drop for a long distance, mysteriously taking no fall damage, which was as designed but seemed weird. Now the Cave Leech slackens its’ tongue and lowers you down more gently, making it seem more realistic that you don’t take fall damage.

DESTRUCTIBLE ARMOR ON GLYPHIDS!
Direct enough firepower to those pesky armor plates to shoot them off and expose the soft underbits underneath!

**NEW PASSIVE CREATURE: IS IT A PLANE? IS IT A BIRD? NO IT‘S A FLYING JELLYFISH! **
The Dense Biozone region of Hoxxes is now inhabited by large, passive, flying jellies.

**MINERAL TRADE TERMINAL **
In the Mineral Trade Terminal you can trade your credits for crafting materials, but be advised that materials are priced fairly exorbitantly. You can also sell your precious crafting materials for credits, but again don’t expect a fair price. Deep Rock Galactic are always trying to maximize their income even if it comes from its workers!

REVOLVER RELOAD ANIMATION
The Gunner’s Revolver now has a proper reload animation - as well as a cool gunslinger move when you try the reload while it’s fully reloaded.

**FLASHLIGHT NERF **
Range on the dwarves’ flashlights has been tweaked down from 12.50m to 11.00m, making them a bit weaker.

PATHFINDER IMPROVEMENTS
Enemies are now less likely to go straight through thin cave walls.

M.U.L.E. SAFETY FIX
If for some reason the MULE does not find its way back to the Escape Pod, the doors will still open 15 seconds before countdown runs out.

...And tons of minor stuff, mostly bug-fixes behind the scenes, but also small visual upgrades. For full overview see the patch notes below.

📎 Patch13_MinorLifeChanges.jpg

Hey Miners!

It’s that time again, and we have some interesting changes for you to enjoy! This update is more experimental than usual with tweaks to the health system. Please try them out and share your thoughts using the Feedback button in game.

We realize it's a smaller patch than usual, but that's just because we're working on some meatier stuff in the background we're not quite done with yet. Watch this space for more info!

COMMUNITY REQUESTED FIXES
-----------------------------------------------------

LESS SHIELD
Some of you hardcore miners have been requesting that the game was harder - especially on higher difficulties. We have tried to make tweaks that make the game harder on higher difficulties but feel almost the same on lower difficulties. We have lowered your starting shield from 30 to 25 and changed the shield upgrades to the shield from 10 to 2.5 (giving a 10% boost).

MORE HEALTH
To compensate for the lack of shield - we’ve increased player health from 100 to 110 hp.

MORE RED SUGAR
Furthermore, the amount of healing you get from red sugar has been increased 25% and the amount of red sugar spawned in a mission has been increased by 10%.

TWEAKS
-----------------------------------------------------
SOLO ENEMY NUMBERS & HEALTH
Exploring the caves of Hoxxes by yourself takes more time and can be brutal, so we have made it so the swarms will be a little bit smaller when you are on your own. Enemy health has also been lowered a little bit for solo expeditions. The creatures of Hoxxes are still dangerous so don’t drop your guard!

BOSCO NOW WITH 50% MORE REVIVES
While he really wants to, Bosco can’t always save you from a cave leech. He feels really bad about it and has requested that he be allowed to revive you 3 times instead of 2. The request has been granted.

MACTERA SPAWN HEALTH INCREASED
In a continuing effort to perfect the Mactera Spawn, we have changed its health from 180 to 210. Remember to use cover and aim for the weak-spot!

📎 Patch14_FeatureCreep03.jpg

MAJOR NEW FEATURES
------------------------------------

NEW MISSION TYPE: SALVAGE OPERATION
It is your job to go in and clean up after a failed mining expedition. You will have to salvage three Mini Mules and repair a damaged drop pod in order to bring all the lost equipment home. Get ready for a combat heavy experience where teamwork and good preparation is key to success! Don’t be another failure!

NEW ENEMY: THE MACTERA GRABBER
The Grabber is the new terror from the sky. It snatches up a random dwarf and flies away with him, before dropping him to crack like a nut on the floor below! Depending on your luck, you might just end up with some bruises - or you might end up being dumped into a chasm! Shoot ‘em quick, that’s our suggestion...

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Deep Rock Galactic is now tracking your work performance! On the KPI screen in your cabin you can check out detailed stats on your performance. By reaching predefined milestones you earn perk points, that can be spend on awesome perks for your dwarves, making your day to day work a little easier.

IMPROVED VANITY CUSTOMIZATION SYSTEM
The Vanity System has had a complete overhaul, expanding greatly on our options. Here are some of the new features:

Build the beard of your dreams! Individually customize hair, eyebrows, sideburns, moustache and beard!
All armor has received an overhaul! More detail has been added in general, and armor now supports textures! Look at the nice tiger stripes on the Gunner’s armor!
The original selection of beards has been broken up into parts and added back in to support the new system.
A small selection of new Hats, Hair, Helmets, Beards, Moustaches, and Sideburns have been added. We are by no means done here yet, this was just what we managed to get in for this patch.

NEW ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

During missions in the Sandblasted Corridors, you will now have a chance of encountering blinding sandstorms and forceful wind tunnels.
The Magma Core just got a lot hotter! Try to avoid the hot magma rock - It burns! Also notice that explosions will expose the hot magma rock under the surface - turning the battlezone into a dangerous place for friends and foes.

BUFFS AND NERFS
------------------------------------
ENGINEER: PLATFORM GUN

Start ammo increased from 10 to 12 platforms.
Mag size increased from 3 to 4 platforms.
Extra platform upgrade added. First upgrade adds 4 to max ammo, second upgrade adds another 4, making it possible to shoot out 20 platforms when fully upgraded. Time to build some awesome bridges and staircases!

ENGINEER: SENTRY GUNS

Starting sentry gun max ammo increased from 400 to 425.
Damage per bullet has been decreased from 7 to 5.5.
You can now upgrade max ammo for the sentry guns. The upgrade gives +75 max ammo - making you reach a total max ammo capacity of 500.

DRILLER: HANDGUN

The starting clip size of the Handgun has been increased from 8 to 12 bullets.
Clip size upgrade has been increased from +4 bullets to +6 bullets.

BOSCO

Bosco now deals 8 points of damage instead of 6 per shot
Friendly fire factor decreased from 0.2 to 0.1. Not fun being killed by your favorite Drone afterall!

ENEMIES**

Praetorians now spit acid!
Praetorian difficulty rating increased. It is now more deadly, so you will encounter fewer of them.

Cave complexity is now more accurate, making sure that the difference between simple and complicated caves is more apparent.
High Complexity missions are now locked to player rank (2 for medium and 3 for high complexity).

MUTATOR SYSTEM
--------------------------
From now on, all missions have a chance to appear with Mutators attached to them. They come in two variants: Warnings and Anomalies. Anomalies are neutral or even positive, while Warnings will severely increase the danger you’ll face. Missions with Warnings on them also add a substantial Hazard Bonus to the final score. Look on the mission map for the new Warning and Anomaly icons!

The following Warnings and Anomalies are already implemented, and we expect to add lots more in future patches.

WARNINGS:

EXPLODER INFESTATION: Whatever mutation affects the Glyphid Exploders, this is likely one of the epicenters! Hordes of ‘roided-up, rabid Glyphid Exploders will do their best to turn you into a fine red mist.
SHIELD DISRUPTION: The cave is heavily electrostatically charged. And wouldn’t you know it, it makes your shield generators short out. So...no shields!
MACTERA PLAGUE: Macteras of all kinds have completely taken over this cave! Flying horror descends from the sky! You could say it’s going to be... Macterrible!
CAVE LEECH CLUSTERS: If you have a phobia of Cave Leeches, this cave will either cure you or confirm your worst fears...

ANOMALIES:
-GOLD RUSH: This cave has extraordinarily rich deposits of gold; huge veins of it just waiting for the sweet caress of your pickaxe!
-MINERAL MANIA: Crafting Minerals galore! It is the reason to go to Hoxxes after all.
-TRIPLE XP: 10 credits says you can’t guess what it does...
-LOW GRAVITY: Jump vast chasms! Scale nearly vertical walls! Just keep in mind... fall damage is still a thing, so don’t get TOO cocky...
-CRITICAL WEAKNESS: Multikill! Aim for the weak spots for severely increased damage!
-GOLDEN BUGS: Each kill earns gold for the team!

RICH ATMOSPHERE: You feel energized and can move more easily around. Your beautiful voice may appear slightly altered by the rich atmosphere, Chipmunk!

TERRAIN SCANNER - NOW IN 3D!
-------------------------------------------
The ol’ flat Terrain Scanner has had an overhaul! The camera is now fully rotatable and zoomable, and you’ll have a much easier time finding where you need to go. Terrain Scanner has been mapped to both [TAB] and [M] by default. Go try it out!

VANITY UPDATES
------------------------
DYE YOUR HAIR OR DIE DYEING!
For Update 14, we experimented briefly with locking hair colors to classes, to make them stand out more. It turns out the players didn’t enjoy that too much... in fact, we practically feared being strung up like elves! Rejoice, however! Custom hair colors are back, and are even a bit more advanced now!

MORE HEADWEAR ADDED
A couple of new hairdos have been added (The Franklin and The Gamekeeper), as well as a bunch of much-requested variations to some of the hats and helmets!

TAKE YOUR DWARF FOR A SPIN!
Ever wondered what your dwarf looks like from behind? Well, you can now rotate your dwarf in all the relevant menus!

**Note: **For those who wondered where all your armor went after Update 14, it was down to a massive reworking of the system we use for all the Vanity items. All those affected should have gotten all the credits and minerals you spent on them back.

BOSCO UPDATES
------------------------
AN EVEN BETTER BOSCO
Bosco has had a brain upgrade and should now be much better at doing what he’s told and dishing out damage. He is so good that we had to tweak down his damage from 8 to 6 per bullet. His burst fire has also been adjusted to be a bit slower.

RETURN OF THE DRONE
When starting a multiplayer game solo, Bosco joins you until another player joins. If that player drops out again, Bosco will reappear!

SERVER IMPROVEMENTS
----------------------------------
EASY FRIEND INVITE
Invite your friends directly into your game! And you don’t even have to have set up a mission yet!

JOIN FRIENDS UNINVITED
You can always join your friend’s game - unless they already have a full team that is!

SEE FULL SERVERS
The Server List didn’t show full servers before - it does now!

MISC.
--------
REGENERATING HEALTH
Health will regenerate to a specific minimum after taking massive damage. No more running around with 1 hit point!

MINIGUN UPDATE
The Minigun has had a massive overhaul, with a snazzy new model, improved animations, and new particles. After firing the Minigun, the accuracy is reduced at a slower rate.

LOOK WHO’S TALKING NOW
An icon is shown next to a player’s icon when using voice chat.

HUD IT LIKE YOU WANT
Some aspects of the HUD can now be hidden through the Options. For now, Enemy Health Bars, the Compass, your depth, Player Name, Class, and Class Icon.

SALVAGE OPERATION TWEAKS

Uplink and Fuels Cells have gotten new models and animations.
Escape Pod powering up time reduced from 120 seconds to 90 seconds.

PERKS, BUFFS, AND NERFS

📎 GlacialStrata2.jpg

**GLACIAL STRATA **- a brave all-new icy hellscape biome, complete with unstable and deadly ice spikes in the ceiling, terrifying crevices opening up under your feet, exclusive enemy types, and the first iteration of our all-new Temperature system! Play it cool - just be careful you don’t end up as a meat popsicle...

📎 Caves.jpg

Ice! The main material of the Glacial Strata planetary region is ice instead of rock, so fire melts it! Use this information wisely.
Deep snow! Look out for piles of it. It won’t harm you, but it’ll slow you down and is impossible to sprint through.
Frozen lakes! Watch your step - they’re quite slippery.
Hot Springs! The only relief from the biting cold, if you disregard the “tools” you carry with you.

📎 Flora.jpg

Explosive Ice Plants! Use them to freeze aliens in their tracks, but watch yourself...they’re just as likely to hit you as the enemy.
Platform Plants! Shoot them to release the liquid inside - it will freeze instantly and form useful (but brittle) platforms for you to use.

📎 bomber2.jpg

It comes in two versions. Ice Bomber for the new biome. Goo Bomber for the other biomes.
The Ice Bomber, releases sickening streams of freezing substance as it flies past you.
The Goo Bomber, releases sticky streams of goo substance as it flies past you.

📎 FrostGlyphids.jpg

Frost Glyphids! Several species of Glyphid have adapted to the cold and will continue to hunt you for your lovely warm flesh even here. And watch out for the Frost Praetorian - it’s a stone cold killer. On the upside, they all seem quite susceptible to heat of any kind…

📎 NewHazards.jpg

Cold Vents! Watch out for cracks in the walls and telltale horizontal streams of air - occasionally, they’ll let out blasts of bone-chilling wind.
Thin Ice! Walk carefully and keep your ears peeled. Deep chasms might just open up beneath you at a moment’s notice.
Unstable Icicles! Keep an eye out for algae-filled icicles in the ceiling. The slightest disturbance tends to make them fall thunderously to the floor and shatter. Woe be to any that stand underneath them at that point.

📎 Temperature.jpg

While body odor remains low on the list of dwarven priorities, keeping an eye on your body temperature is now more important than ever. Get too low and you’ll get frozen in place. Get too high and you’ll burst into flame. Keeping towards the center of the scale is safest.
Certain actions or items will reduce or increase your temperature. Some, such as the flamethrower, are pretty self-explanatory.
Enemies follow the same rules. They can be both frozen and set on fire, though they’ll have unique resistances or weaknesses depending on their species. FYI: Frozen enemies can be shattered if enough damage is applied to them...

📎 Discord.jpg

See what your friends are playing and join their game directly from Discord.

📎 Bosco.jpg

New HUD icon so you always know what Bosco is up to.
Bosco no longer mines dirt that is closer to the Player than the wall instructed to mine at.
Bosco now always goes for the Grabber / Cave leech that grabbed the Player.
Bosco will not revive the Player without being near him/her after getting killed by a Cave leech or Grabber.
Tweaked Bosco’s priorities - he’ll now focus on the enemies instead of mining when instructed to.
Optimization while pointing at enemies.

📎 voiceLines.jpg

Tons of new voice lines added.

📎 other.jpg

STEAM

Improved the way savegames are handled - your savegames are now named after your SteamID to prevent problems when sharing a single machine.
Backups are now written to separate files each session to prevent save game corruption from accidentally trashing the backups.

MOLLY

Fixed Molly choosing to walk away while someone is depositing. Manners, Molly!

WEAPONS

Fixed Scout IFG Grenade not applying the proper damage resistance penalty.
Fixed an issue with Ziplines where clients could move slightly and increase speed while on the zip line.

ENEMIES

The Spitball Infector now starts dormant and only wakes up if you get too close or it is injured in any way.
Mactera Spawns have become much weaker to melee attacks.
Mactera Grabber should no longer scream unless it’s actively chasing you.
Enemies should no longer continue making sounds after they’re dead. Stands to reason, really…
Mactera Spawn should no longer get stuck outside the Navmesh after dashing.

OTHER

Fixed framerate drop when pointing the laser pointer at Glyphid tunnels and embedded minerals.

Update, Hotfix 4
Our fix for displaying game time didnt work, it does now!

Experimental Branch Update

Changelist for Experimental Build 19077

Howdy @everyone !
Time to put on your brand new armor sets, drink beers with buffs and take on new exciting assignments. Oktoberfest is over and we have been busy packing a big bag of cool features for you. Enjoy!

NEW ASSIGNMENT SYSTEM
Our goal with the assignment system is to create a smoother start for new players and at the same time create excitement for getting access to new content. Assignments in the future will be used to unlock new content like alternative weapons and planet regions.

THE PROBATIONARY PERIOD:
When you start the game for the first time you now have to complete the Probationary Period in order to prove your worth as a miner. The Probationary Period is a 9-missions long assignment and will take you through the different regions of Hoxxes and challenge you with various missions to complete.

Completing missions that is part of an assignment grants you bonus rewards in the form of crafting materials and credits.

After completing the Probationary Period you will have unlocked all regions, missions, and difficulties.

ATTENTION PRO MINERS!
Management of DRG is insisting that experienced players also complete the Probationary Period. We tried hard to make them see it differently, but they were very persistent!
.

RETIREMENT
RETIREMENT APPLICATION:
When you max out a character at level 20, you get the option to complete the Retirement Application Assignment for that character. Select it from the Assignment Board Terminal. When you have completed the assignment you get the option to retire that character from the Character Selection Terminal.

RETIRING A DWARF:
When you retire a character that character will reset to level 1 and you will lose all progress on weapons and upgrades for that character. You will, however, keep all progression on perks, credits, crafting materials, and vanity items. The first time you retire, you will also unlock an extra perk slot for that specific character. Retiring a character is the only way you can increase your player rank above 26, since you need to gain character levels in order to gain player ranks. We are also considering to introduce unlocks of vanity and other features for players above player rank 26.
.

MISSION UPDATES
In order to make a smooth Probationary Period assignment, and in general to improve the long-term mining experience, we have tweaked some of the missions and made both simpler and more complex versions of them.

EGG HUNT:
We have for a long time been wanting to improve the missions types Egg Hunt and Search & Extract. In the end, we decided to just merge them together. Here are the changes:

Egg hunt now takes place in a cave system, similar to what you used to encounter in Search & Extract.
Instead of having to run around and search for the eggs you can use the Terrain Scanner (hold down [M]) to spot their location.
You have to collect fewer eggs than previously.
Egg hunt now has multiple complexities and lengths.
Search & Extract have been removed for now.
We resisted the temptation of calling Egg Hunt for Search & Eggstract!

SALVAGE MISSION

The cave systems can now generate both medium and high complexity levels
Length short (Assemble 2 MINI MULES) and long (Assemble 3 MINI MULES)

ELIMINATION

The cave systems can now generate both medium and high complexity levels
Length short (Kill 2 Dreadnoughts) and long (Kill 3 Dreadnoughts)
.

BEER BUFFS

NEW MODEL FOR ASSAULT RIFLE
Scouts assault rifle has gotten an overhaul of model, animations, and sound.

NEW ARMORS
8 new Armors (called MK3 Basic and Heavy) have been implemented, ready for you to buy and equip. They will be unlocked at player rank 10 and 12 respectively. if you are lower than player rank 8 you will only see the MK2 armor in the shop.

DIFFICULTY TWEAK
Hazard levels for 2-player games have been tweaked to make the jump from playing solo to two players less steep. Scaling factors of enemies for 2-player games have been adjusted like this: Low risk 0.4 to 0.3, Challenging 0.5 to 0.4, Dangerous 0.75 to 0.66, Extreme 1.0 to 0.9

The Mactera Plague warning has been tweaked down in difficulty. Some craziness is still ensured, but now it should be less punishing.

📎 Update_18.5.png

Good EEEEEEvening, Miners!

Halloween is upon us and we have made a small update for you to get spooky! We don’t really consider this a true update since we are working on the next big update which will include new weapons and upgrade system and a total makeover of the prices for vanity and upgrades. Exciting times ahead!

--- PATCH NOTES ---

HALLOWEEN

Pumpkins added to the Space Rig for you to kick!
Trick-or-Treat Pumpkins in the caves. Try your luck smashing them!

RETIREMENT AND XP FIXES

We have been really positively surprised to see how well the retirement system has been received. However, we never intended people to go through a full retirement cycle as fast as we can see some of you are doing right now (as low as 4 hours). Our intent is that leveling a character to retirement level should take much, much longer. We have right now made a bunch of fixes to the existing system, but with update 19 you should be expecting a much bigger change to the system of Retirement and XP's. Consider yourself warned 😃
Prevent Giving Retirement Rank if you have 0 XP
Prevent multiple clicks on retire character in the UI
Retirement assignments mission rewards removed
Triple XP is now Double XP

FIXES AND IMPROVEMENTS

Fixed issue with Discord Party id's and preventing invite button to work in some cases

Experimental Build 20912

**Hello Miners! **
We got a fat, new update coming your way - this time with a massive upgrade to your armory, improvements to the upgrade system and an overhaul of the retirement system! Read all about it below! Lock n’ Load!

--- PATCH NOTES ---

8 NEW WEAPONS

DRG is happy to inform you that we’ve expanded on our list of suppliers, and a new, larger catalog of armaments has been made available! In order to obtain licenses for the new gear, you will need to complete Weapon Assignments. When a license has been obtained, you will be allowed to purchase access to the weapon in question. The following new weapons are now available:

NEW WEAPONS: GUNNER

"THUNDERHEAD" HEAVY AUTOCANNON: A peculiar but devastating weapon. The slow rate of fire is made up for by heavy damage, delivered with glee by the belt-fed .50-caliber tungsten rounds. The Thunderhead is a somber weapon for the sophisticated executioner, delivering death as inexorably as the passage of time itself.

BRT7 BURST FIRE GUN: More precise than an SMG, with the stopping power of a small shotgun, the BRT (or "Burt", as it's sometimes called) is highly prized among collectors and connoisseurs alike.

NEW WEAPONS: SCOUT

M1000 BOLT-ACTION CLASSIC: The original design for the M1000-pattern DRG-issue precision rifle goes back hundreds of years, practically unchanged. High damage, respectable fire rate...and that "Ping". A prime example of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

ZHUKOV NUK17: Never sophisticated, but never disappointing either. The NUK family of twinned micro SMGs has a long and treasured track record, yet Those In The Know generally agree that the 17 is among the very best.

NEW WEAPONS: ENGINEER

"STUBBY" VOLTAIC SMG: So what's better than an SMG? An SMG that fires ELECTRIC BULLETS! The boys in R&D have wired a prototype ArcGen into the guts of this trusty Subata 312, meaning it now unleashes a storm of electrified DEATH! Word of warning: Keep away from water.

BREACH CUTTER: The Breach Cutter releases directional blasts of sonically-charged plasma powerful enough to deal with most any alien in your path. Originally a mining tool, it's now been frequency-tuned to crack open flesh and bone rather than the sediment deposits it was designed for - often with quite spectacular results!

NEW WEAPONS: DRILLER

CRYO CANNON: Mad geniuses have tried perfecting this implement for as long as anyone can remember, but our lads at R&D seem to have perfected it! Handily portable (for a dwarf, anyway), it does exactly what you think: It's a friggin' freeze ray. Let 'em have it.

EXPERIMENTAL PLASMA CHARGER: Bullets are so last year. Instead, why not incinerate your enemies from the inside out with a highly experimental anti-matter-powered gun firing supercharged plasma bolts? What's the worst that could happen? (If you find out, please report to R&D).

NEW WEAPON MODS SYSTEM

The Weapon Upgrade System has been scrapped in favor of a brand new Weapon Modification System, and each weapon can now be customized and tweaked to your individual tastes! More than 200 new Weapon Mods have been introduced, a lot of them consisting of entirely new features. For example, “Blow-through” is now a thing - fire bullets straight through an enemy to hit enemies behind it! Or how about “Fear” - send enemies into a fleeing panic by sheer brunt of your firepower!

For this round of upgrades, the new system has been implemented for all new and old weapons, but it is not yet implemented on tools, grenades, and armors. This will happen with future updates.

Also, no more static still-pictures of gear on the upgrade screen - we’ve finally gotten a proper and rotatable 3D model viewer implemented!

REPRICING OF VANITY AND WEAPON MODS

All vanity items and weapon upgrades have been repriced! You’ll keep any vanity items already unlocked. All weapon upgrades have been refunded, leaving you open to explore the new system at leisure.

PROMOTION (FKA RETIREMENT)

The Retirement system has received a fairly significant overhaul. The changes are as follows:

“Retirement” has been rephrased to “Promotion” instead.
The level cap for each dwarf has been raised from 20 to 25.
The last mission in a Promotion Qualification Assignment is no longer a forced solo mission
Promoting your dwarf no longer takes any progress away from you! Yes, you read correctly - all weapon upgrades carry over! The only thing that resets is your character’s level.
You still have to clear your debt to DRG before getting a promotion
Titles for player ranks have been extended to player rank 75 and a lot of new titles have been added.

GUNNER: SHIELD GENERATOR

The Gunner has swapped his DET PACK for a SHIELD GENERATOR. It creates a force field that keeps the bugs at bay and protects everyone inside it. We got a quick comment from the gunner: “To be honest, sharing gear with Drill-boy ain’t for me, so I called in a favor with the eggheads up in R&D to make me something special - and they came back with a friggin’ Shield Generator! Now I can safely stand my ground while killing bugs galore! Good times!”

EGGHUNT TWEAK

Digging an egg free in Egghunts now has a chance of spawning a group of angry bugs. The number of eggs you need to collect have been increased a bit.

BEER BUFFS

TODAY’S SPECIAL: A Randomly chosen buffed beer will be available for purchase each “day” (it updates when the mission map gets new missions). Also, the buffs are actually working now! :-)

TERRAIN SCANNER ALIGNMENT

With the Terrain Scanner active, hit [SPACE] / (X) to spin your character around to face in the direction of the map.

SPECIAL WAVES

Once in a while you can now run into pure waves of Praetorians, Macteras, Glyphid Warriors or Swarmers. Whether these waves are harder or easier than normal waves is for you to figure out.

ENEMY TWEAKS

NEW ENEMY - THE GLYPHID VETERAN WARRIOR: The Veteran has 50% more health and much stronger armor than a normal Glyphid Warrior.
Glyphid Praetorians have been to the gym! Their health has been buffed by 50% and they’re less susceptible to being shot in the head than before - getting behind them and shooting them in their big fat butts is now much more important.
Sound has been added to Exploder footsteps. Listen carefully and you can hear them sneak up upon you!
Removed fire particle effect when other enemies are hit by the Praetorians Acid Spray.
It was not supposed to be there and was causing a significant frame drop.
Tweaked the number of enemies spawning for 2-player games down a bit for Hazard 2 and 3.

FIXES AND IMPROVEMENTS

Hints on the loading screen have been updated with 3 new hints for Milestones and Perks, The Terrain Scanner and Mision Mutators.
Added some more motivational quotes for screens in Space rig.
Bosco now determines the angle of which to dig tunnels in dirt from the players face, rather than their feet, to the point they pointed at. This should result in more expected results, especially when standing close to the dirt
Damage multipliers on Physical materials changed to be on the physical material
Fixed Abyss Bar menu not closing correctly when pressing ESC
Changed Acid symbol to Biohazard / Poison symbol.
Better flare overdraw prevention
Flares now cast shadows!
Grenade Launcher grenades are much more visible while in the air.
Purchase Item UI now show all required resources
Heat cooldown on Minigun tweaked
Blowfly should now rotate correctly when shooting
Fixed a bug that caused Bosco to abort his light task as soon as there were any enemies near the player

Update 19: Hotfix 1 + Info on Upgrade Refunds
Thank you all for the feedback on Update 19 and especially for the weapon upgrade/ modifications. As expected it’s been very hard for us to fully balance Update 19 and make it 100% bugfree. With this hotfix, we’ve fixed most of the upgrades that were broken (Grappling Hook is the only known one still lacking). We’ve also seen some comments on performance issues. We think it could be related to the introduction of videos on the character selection screen and those videos have for now been disabled for when you late-join a game.

We’ve seen some people being confused about the refund given based on the changes we’ve made to the upgrade system. Let me emphasize that you’re being refunded with all the credits and resources you’ve spent on buying weapon upgrades in the old system and that you should be able to re-upgrade the weapons to their previous state after the refund. However, since we’ve greatly expanded on the number of available upgrades (modifications) you cannot just unlock them all with the credits and resources you got refunded.

The new modification system is not just a rework but more an expansion of the previous system. If you had a fully upgraded weapon before, after the refund you should be able to reach a very similar state (perhaps even buy some extra modifications). A fully upgraded weapon from before Update 19 should be quite similar to a weapon in which one modification has been bought in every tier of the new system.

With Weapon Modifications, we aim to create a much deeper system that allows players to make interesting choices while they level up and to customize their loadout to suit their playstyle.

Again thank you all for the feedback, it really helps us make a better game!

Hope it all makes sense 😃

Once the mod is active, the player can point with the Terrain Scanner and press [RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON] or (LEFT TRIGGER) and Bosco will fire a rocket at the target.

📎 Update21_GoingLethal_BlogHeader02.jpg

Hello Miners!
With this update, we are introducing more insane challenges - a new LETHAL difficulty level for you to master, multiple new enemies, Mastery and Skins for weapons, and a gazillion other fixes and improvements.

Lunch Break is over! It’s time to go to work!

**- The Ghost Ship Team **

** - NEW ENEMIES - **

BET-C - THE BATTLE M.U.L.E.
Deep Rock Galactic didn’t invest much in the safety system of their BET-C series of combat M.U.L.E.’s. It only takes a few Xynarch Charge-Sucker parasites licking the robot’s circuits to turn them against the dwarves. In that situation, BET-C’s fast-tracking auto-turret and grenade launcher could become a major threat for any expedition. If you find an infected model, aim for the attached organisms and, once they are eradicated, carefully hammer BET-C until it turns into a trustworthy companion for the rest of the mission.

**Q’RONAR SHELLBACK **
The Q’ronar Shellback is a deadly creature that you might bump into in the Radioactive and Salty regions of Hoxxes. Their tough shells and fast movement speed make them quite hard to kill - try to dodge its rolling attack and kill the Shellback when it stops to spray poison venom at you.

NAEDOCYTE SHOCKER
The Naedocyte Shocker is a strange alien flying jellyfish-like creature. They often appear in large swarms and is preferably dealt with before they get close enough to zap you with electrical shocks. So far they’ve been spotted in the regions of Dense Biozone and the Glacial Strata.

** - NEW DIFFICULTY LEVEL - **
By popular demand, we’ve added a LETHAL new difficulty setting only for the most masochistic and badass dwarves out there! We hope you have “fun”... 😄
.

** - OVERALL DIFFICULTY REVAMP - **

GENERAL SPAWN LOGIC: The general logic behind how we handle spawns has gotten a big overhaul - balancing waves is now a much more exact and controllable thing for us. This is actually the biggest of all changes we’ve done to the difficulty system, but also the hardest to explain in detail - maybe we’ll do a blog post on this in the future :-)

MISSION SPECIFIC ENEMY TYPES: The Mission Generator now also pre-selects the specific mix of enemies players will encounter in a given mission. Instead of randomly selecting from every enemy type available in the game, players will now face themed swarms of enemies. This change won’t be particularly visible right now, but will serve to improve the overall feel and flow of the enemy swarms as we add more enemy types to the game.

The goal here is to make each mission feel a lot more unique, as well as making it more attractive for players to pursue a more strategic approach - if you have a rough idea of what awful things you might face down in the depths, you stand a better chance of going in as prepared as you can be.

TIME: As a rule, lowering the time between spawning enemy waves means more enemies in general, which results in an overall higher difficulty. Knowing this, we’ve made a few changes to how we time waves:

Time elapsed before the first wave appears is based on Difficulty - so higher Difficulty means the first wave arrives faster.
Subsequent waves will also spawn faster depending on difficulty level.

SPEED: Attack speed, projectile speed, and movement speed of enemies are increased for the highest difficulties.
.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS: You now take more damage from environmental dangers on higher difficulties.

**YOU GET THE WAVES YOU DESERVE: **Multiple waves are now allowed to spawn at the same time and do not cancel each other out.

Example 1: Digging two eggs out in Egg hunt will generate two small waves instead of only one.
Example 2: You can not cancel a wave in progress by calling in the drop pod

IMPORTANT BUGFIX! It turned out Difficulty scaling from 3 to 4 players was not working before - meaning that a 4 player game was as easy as a 3 player game. That is fixed now - so you should feel an overall increase in difficulty for 4 player games on all difficulties. We’ll, of course, continue to monitor and tweak as needed.
.

** - UI IMPROVEMENTS - **

NEW ENEMY HEALTH BAR
We’ve completely revamped the way we put health bars on enemies. Now it will show when the player is aiming at an enemy and it will do it on top of that enemy (instead of in the center of the screen). Additionally, it displays the damage applied to the enemy with every shot.

NEW MISSION READOUT BAR
The Mission Readout Bar visible on the Space Rig has been updated with more information about the mission in progress, as well as gotten a graphical overhaul.

** - NEW BIOME CONTENT - **
In The Salt Pits Region, you’ll now start seeing fragile Salt Platforms - stand on them, but be careful. They’re not tested for dwarf girth.

** - PREVENT LATE JOIN DUPLICATION - **
You want a diverse team? You don't like teams with three Engineers? The Host now has the option to select “PREVENT LATE JOIN DUPLICATION” from the Escape menu and Options menu. Selecting this option means players LATE JOINING your game will need to select a character class not currently in play.

**Please note: **This option does NOT restrict character selection on the Space Rig - we leave that up to you guys to figure out among yourselves.
.

** - WEAPON TWEAKS & FIXES - **
Yes, we have been both buffing and nerfing a lot of the weapons and here is a compiled list of changes!

PLASMA CHARGER:

Flying Nightmare damage no longer stacks on top of direct hit damage.
Bouncy Projectiles also bounce on enemies.

.

DEEPCORE GK2:

Damage tweaks to compensate for the frame rate dependency fix.

.

** - UPDATED UNREAL ENGINE VERSION TO 4.21 - **
For quite some time, we have been stuck with Unreal Engine 4.19, but we finally managed to update the engine to 4.21. It seems to have fixed a lot of GPU crashes. Happy days!

**- MISC. - **

Alien Egg Collection mission should now properly distribute the eggs in the mission area.
Assignment missions can now include Mission Modifiers. For difficult assignments, higher complexity missions will be preferred.
Fixed Restore Save pop-up showing up unnecessarily for ultrawide monitors.
Small adjustment to Steam warning message.

** - UPDATE 21 - HOT FIX 1: Driller Gear and Difficulty tweaks - **

Upon releasing Update 21 we quickly realized a couple of significant bugs had crept in. The Cryo Cannon wouldn’t freeze enemies as intended (freezing a Praetorian was almost impossible - yikes), and after watching various streams from players, we also saw a need to tone down the frequency of random enemy wave spawns. Please try it out again and let us know what you think. That and multiple other things should also be fixed with Hotfix 1 for Update 21 - check the Patch Notes below for a full overview. Lethal is still Lethal though 😃

One of our more ambitious gameplay reworks to date landed with Update 21 - a full rework of how we calculate Difficulty in the game. For a long time, we’ve used a relatively simple system for this, and it was simply not living up to our demands any longer. Now we have a bigger and much better system under the hood - we have way more knobs to turn, but it also means that the Difficulty settings currently in the game all have changed - and perhaps in ways we have not yet fixed, tweaked, or even realized.

Some of you have taken to Reddit, Steam, and Discord to write about this. As always, we appreciate your candid and honest feedback about these things, both the positive and the negative. Right now we are hard at work on the first Hotfix for Update 21, and there will be much more balancing, tweaking, and reworking of the numbers coming in the next Hotfixes and Updates.
.

** - UPDATE 21 - HOTFIX 1: Patch Notes - **

Overall Difficulty tweaks

Longer time between random enemy spawns for all difficulties (Lethal not so much)
Difficulty rating of Mactera Grabber and Bomber increased, so the spawn system spawns them less often
Enemy encounters in caves reduced in size
Less enemy spawning during Salvage and Point Extraction (Please remember that we still want these two missions to be the most hectic missions)
More Nitra spawning in Egghunt missions
.

📎 Update23_HorrorsOfHoxxes_BlogHeader01.jpg

Hello, Miners!

What a party! Thank you so much for all that participated, sent in fantastic contest entries, and got down to some right ol’ dirty cavedelvin’ with us during the celebrations. Now, though, we’re all out of Dark Morkite, there’s no more confetti in our hair, and we’ve gotten right back to work. That’s right, it’s Update Time, and we think we got a good one for you! First things first though:

THE PRICE INCREASE LOOMS
As we mentioned during the One Year celebrations, we’ll be raising the price of the game to $29.99/€27.99€/£24.99 on March 28th! And as we said, if you got friends looking for a sign on whether or not to join up, now’s a really good time to make that plunge. To delve into the darkness. To dig deep into their pockets and...eh, you get the idea.

THERE’S SOMETHING... NEW... IN THE DARK
With Update 23: Horrors of Hoxxes, we chose to focus on one of the most often requested improvements for the game (ourselves included): More aliens! Well, more aliens you shall have - alongside a ton of other stuff, we’ve got a bunch of new Hoxxes natives for you to pump full of lead, as well as some much-needed facelifts for some of our old friends.

Have a gander at the list at the end of this post for the full notes or dive in as un-spoilered as you please! Either way, we’re pretty proud of this one.
.

AND BEYOND!
Checkmark on 23: Check! Onwards to 24! We still have some design ahead of us before we can fully commit to the headlines on this one (some key members of the team are out of town, attending conferences), but 24 will likely be a less feature-oriented Update, and more focused on polish and improvement of current stuff while we put work into more long-term stuff in the background. So far it looks like Update 24 will bring things like yet more Mods to unlock, at least one new enemy type, and a bunch of UI improvements such as revamped Mission Load and Mission Complete screens, but we’ll have something concrete to share with you soon.

That’s pretty much it for now. All that’s left is to wish you all some lovely trips down into the dark to meet all your new...friends… :>

Until then,
ROCK AND STONE!
- The Ghost Ship Crew

**--- PATCH NOTES --- **

** - A GAZILLION NEW ENEMIES - **

GLYPHID MENACE
-This distant cousin of the Glyphid Acidspitter is both smarter, faster, and more aggressive. It’ll burrow into the ground between firing off devastating volleys of corrosive goo, making for a high-priority target when spotted.

GLYPHID WARDEN
-This mysterious Glyphid sends out regenerative waves of spores to its nearby kin, reinvigorating and buffing them. Better take it out quick.

GLYPHID BULK DETONATOR
-A sickening horror of the deep. It’s Bulky and it Detonates. You’ll know it when you see it - and then you’ll likely die. You have been warned.

NAYAKA TRAWLER

The first species encountered of this awful breed of Hoxxes wildlife. The Trawler has been observed in the Sandblasted Corridor Region and it burrows through sand at high speeds, aiming to catch prey in its’ extended maws as it passes. Don’t stand in front of it.

GLYPHID GRUNT SLASHER
-A more durable and fast version of its weaker cousin, the Grunt. Plus...its long-bladed legs deal thrice the damage. Nasty buggers!

GLYPHID GRUNT GUARD

Another variation of the Glyphid Grunt. This one is heavily armored and has twice the health but is a bit slower than a normal Grunt.

RADIOACTIVE GLYPHID PRAETORIAN

In the Radioactive Zone, Praetorians have mutated and now do radiation damage! Better keep your distance.

RADIOACTIVE GLYPHID EXPLODER

Exploding with radiation! ‘Nough said!

RADIOACTIVE GLYPHID SWARMERS

They glow in the dark and are radioactive - they’re small enough that the radiation they emit isn’t enough to affect a healthy dwarf, however.
.

** - ENEMY TWEAKS - **

GLYPHID DREADNOUGHT OVERHAUL

New behavior: If the players are hidden in a small hole, the Dreadnought will now destroy the terrain until it gets to them. Can’t stop me now!
New attack: Swarmer Egg. Besides the fireball, the Dreadnaught will shoot a projectile full of swarmers. If hits the players, it will also cover them with pheromones, turning them into the target of new enemy swarmer spawns.
Regenerating armor. Make sure to attack it while it’s vulnerable. Health values have been modified to conform to this new system.
An all-new Boss Health Bar lets you know when you are facing a serious challenge. For the moment it’s only for the new and improved Dreadnought, but it’s almost like we have plans to use it for more things in the future, isn’t it? :>
Fixed the bug that would allow you to trap the Dreadnought using the Gunner’s shield
All its attacks and behaviors have been tweaked. The Dreadnaught is now more aggressive, more responsive, and more dangerous. Management wishes you luck.
More Nitra is spawning in elimination missions since you will need more ammo to take down a Dreadnought.
Fix so 2 Dreadnoughts can’t spawn in Point Extraction at the same time
Supply Pods won’t instakill a Dreadnought anymore - it still deals a good chunk of damage though.
Dreadnought's fireball damage reduced
Tweaks to Dreadnought's behavior for solo play

Q’RONAR SHELLBACK

Rolling periods are now shorter so it will open up more often to shoot (which almost means more chances for players to shoot it).
Armor resistance and base health reduced.
It can only be found in Salt Pits now. Radioactive Exclusive Zone didn’t feel like a healthy place to settle down.

CAVE LEECH

Received a much-needed model and animation overhaul. Now grabbier than ever!

NAEDOCYTE SHOCKERS

All new model and animations.
.

BET-C BATTLE MULE

BET-C’s grenades have proper models and improved shaders
BET-C now moves away if there are players too close to her for a few seconds
BET-C no longer turns into an unkillable murder machine if the parasites die too quickly

MISCELLANEOUS ENEMY TWEAKS

Enemies now only use melee attacks that are in range to actually do damage
Grabber only screams if its target is valid
Chance of getting a generic scripted wave increased compared to special scripted waves
Tweaked all the Glyphids blood particles. They are now much more visible
Glyphids have received several new attack animations
Glyphid Warriors have been renamed to Glyphid Grunt, because that’s what everyone kept calling them. Also, it fits. :>
.

** - MISSION TWEAKS - **

DIFFICULTY

Difficulty reduced a bit on 2-3 player games on Hazard Level 3-5

ELIMINATION MISSION

The location of the cocoons will no longer be displayed using an icon, now they appear on the terrain scanner
Cocoons are more evenly distributed throughout the map
New debris has been added in the vicinity of the Cocoons, in case you had trouble spotting the 15 ton, pulsating, gurgling, alien egg

SALVAGE MISSION

Defense Zones have been increased a bit in size

EGG COLLECTION

Reduced Egg Collection goals depending on Cave Complexity from 5, 8, 10 to 4, 6, 8

POINT EXTRACTION

Slightly increased spawn rates
Wave music added to the announced waves
CLEARER GEM FRAGMENT INDICATION
The glowing bits around embedded crystals like, Aquarq, Jadiz etc. now only glow when said item is close. No more returning to already mined spots!

** - MORE GEAR MODS - **

We are still in the process of adding mods to all the gear and we are slowly getting there. After this update, only the Pick Axe and the Grenades are left to do.

LMG GUN PLATFORM

Number of turrets, target prioritization, build speed, scan angle. You are a special snowflake and now your automated killing machine can be too.

SATCHEL CHARGE

Have you ever thrown down a Satchel Charge only to regret it immediately? Well, now you can install a kill switch for safe disarming and retrieval. Plus many other mods like carve size and fear effects.

FLARE GUN

More flares? Longer burn time? Auto-reload? Illuminate the situation with these and other mods.

SHIELD GENERATOR

Customize the size, duration and recharge time of your happy place.

Please note: You have been refunded credits and minerals invested in previous upgrades!

** - STATUS EFFECTS ON HEALTH BAR - **
Enemies’ health bars now display status effects such as being electrocuted, etc. They also show temperature variations so players can now know how far from bursting into flames or freezing they are.

** - VANITY - **

MK5 ARMOR SETS

Management has approved the introduction of an all-new set of armor for the most experienced employees to procure - the mighty Mark 5!

1ST PERSON ARMOR

All first-person animations now display the correct armor!

SUPPORTER GEAR MORE GOLDIER

By popular request, the Supporter Upgrade Armor and Weapons have gotten a material overhaul - now more goldier than ever!

** - BOSCO QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS - **

It will now try to position himself below cave leeches, and not above them
It will be less glued to the floor when fighting except versus cave leeches

📎 Update24_ExplosiveExpansion_BlogHeader03.jpg

Take your seats, Miners!
We got new grenades, eye candy, personal drop pods, a bunch of new enemies, and a TON of gear tweaks to brief you about, so grab a brew and listen up!

Also - look out for the [COMMUNITY REQUESTS] - these are things you guys have been very adamant in talking about and bringing to our notice, so keep up the good work! It is, as always, very appreciated. :D

--- PATCH NOTES ---
GRENADE LOADOUT

The boys and gals in R&D have been hard at work once more! All the old grenades have been reworked, and a ton of new ones have been added. Each class can now unlock up to three distinct types of class-specific throwables, with the potential for more to come in future Updates.

Engineer: L.U.R.E, Plasma Burster, Proximity Mine
Gunner: Sticky Grenade, Incendiary Grenade, Cluster Grenade
Scout: IFG, Cryo Grenade, Pheromone Canister
Driller: Impact Axe, HE Grenade, Neurotoxin Grenade

LOADING SCREEN MAKEOVER

We’ve finally gotten our new orbital drone cameras installed, enabling much better and varied scenic views of mining crews descending to the surface of Hoxxes at the beginning of each mission.

END SCREEN MAKEOVER

The End Screen shown at the end of each mission has gotten a much-needed overhaul as well. Now you get to pose and display all your lovely cosmetics in full 3D while the mission data ticks up!

STEAM ACHIEVEMENTS

They’ve been a long time coming, but they’re finally here! 50+ Steam Achievements have been added to the game, ready to be unlocked! We’ve strived to make them retroactive anywhere it made sense.

NEW MOBS

NAEDOCYTE BREEDER
Imagine a floating bag of slime, constantly spewing out pulsing egg-sacks full of ravenous young. They may look like gentle giants (depending on how much you like tentacles), but trust us when we say you want to take these oozing blimps out quick.

NAEDOCYTE HATCHLING
The result of leaving the Naedocyte Breeders to do their thing. We’ve run into more developed varieties of these before, but this is the first time we’ve ever encountered them in their larval state. They are hatched ravenously hungry, so mind yourselves that you don’t get overrun.

Q’RONAR YOUNGLINGS
Younger and softer variation of the Shellbacks. Unlike their more solitary-minded mature state, the Q’ronar Younglings hunt in packs. Do not underestimate them.

GOLDEN LOOTBUG
Now, this is an interesting one. Unlike the common Lootbug, this particular breed gorge themselves on gold alone. Management has no qualms with employees taking them out for sport and personal gain.

HUULI HOARDER
This rare beastie seems like a bit of an oddity among the otherwise mostly hostile Hoxxes fauna. Often referred to as “The Clown Car”, the Huuli Hoarder is an abject coward and will run away from any potential threat once startled. However, like the common Lootbug, they subside solely on a diet of precious minerals - as in, taking them out will net you a tidy profit, just take care that you don’t let it separate you from your team.

LATE JOIN DROP POD

[COMMUNITY REQUEST] Let it not be said that Management does not care about employee complaints. Joining a mission already in progress now dumps you into a personal drop pod, letting you safely land in the mission area instead of utilizing the horribly unreliable teleportation technology used so far. As with the Supply Pod, it is recommended to keep a safe distance to the landing zone.

BETTER DISCORD INTEGRATION

Sign up for the Miner’s Union and join our wonderful Discord community directly from the Space Rig! We have bigger plans for this down the line, but for now, you can use it to see the number of active members and such.

MISSIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS

[COMMUNITY REQUEST] The Mission Map now displays Assignment Icons for every team member, making it easier to choose which missions to go on.
[COMMUNITY REQUEST] The Hazard 5 Unlock Assignment now requires you to play the associated missions on Hazard 4 difficulty
[COMMUNITY REQUEST] Dwarves leaving a game will now drop a resource pouch with any materials they had in their inventory
[COMMUNITY REQUEST] Added an option to opt Bosco out of solo missions at the Drone Modification Terminal

UI AND CONTROLS

Personal Temperature HUD overhaul
[COMMUNITY REQUEST] Added option to disable Mouse Smoothing
Improved gear stats display in the Equipment Terminal

PICKAXE POWER ATTACK

Surrounded by awful bitey things? Let them know how you feel about that! While having your pick out, hit Fire to unleash a devastating Power Attack. There’s a cooldown on it, so spend it wisely.

WEAPON BALANCE TWEAKS
We are constantly tweaking and balancing the weapons based on player feedback and our own testing, and quite a few tweaks are coming in this hotfix. Since the weapons are currently a living system that is still growing and evolving there will certainly be more tweaks in the future, especially with the upcoming addition of the overclocks in the next update. Your feedback has been invaluable in this process so please, keep it coming.

Minigun
The minigun has been suffering, especially in high hazard missions, so we’ve made a few changes to address this.

Increased base damage
Increased value of the Lighter Barrel Assembly mod to allow for more a more responsive gun build
Increased value of Magnetic Bearings mod to better balance against the rest
Increased slightly how long you can shoot before overheating to help against larger swarms
Increased value of Magnetic Refrigeration mod to better balance it against competing options
To better balance it against the other choices the Aggressive Venting mod will now also cause enemies to flee
Stun is now a default function of the Minigun to help gunners stand their ground, we are also working on improving the stun system in general for the next update.
Changed the Stun mod to a Stun Duration mod since stun is now built-in

Auto 210
Some of the mods for this gun have not been able to hold their own so we’ve done some changes to better balance the whole weapon and prepare it for the upcoming overclocks.

Tweaked the crosshair to look a bit more balanced and moved hit confirmation to the inner markers
Shortened base stun duration
Increased base stun chance
Stunning a creature now requires a weakpoint hit
Replaced the Stun mod with a Stun Duration mod
Decreased the bonus of the Overstuffed Magazine mod
Increased power of Choke mod
Swapped places of the Choke and High Capacity Magazine mods
Increased base pellet count to compensate for the mod rearrangement

Boomstick
This has been another weapon that needed an overall balance shift to make the mod choices more relevant and interesting.

Increased the rate of fire bonus from Double Trigger Mod so it feels smoother, also rephrased the description a bit
Decreased effect of the Bigger Pellets mod to better balance against the Expanded Ammo Bags mod
Increased base damage to compensate for the Bigger Pellets mod tweak
The Boomstick now has a base chance to stun targets
Increased the power of the Stun mod to better balance it against the competition
Increased effect of 3rd row Expanded Ammo Bags Mod to better balance against the High Capacity Shells mod

Autocannon
The Gunner’s Autocannon also needed a little love, though not nearly as much as the minigun.

Increased value of Damage Reduction Mod so that just like with the minigun, players can better stand their ground against a swarm.
Increased base splash damage range to help the gun deal with large swarms
Removed friendly-fire from splash damage so you can safely fire into the fray and not hurt yourself when shooting enemies at point blank range.

Voltaic SMG
This little powerhouse had a crazy build hiding in it, those mods responsible have been reigned-in to better compare to the Auto 210 while others got a needed boost.

Fixed the Electrocution Bonus mod (it used to give a 120% damage bonus which was crazy) now it does 30% just like the NUK17s.
Renamed the Electrocution Bonus mod to Conductive Bullets since the two mods were identical in function.
Adjusted the values of Increased Caliber and High Velocity Rounds to better balance against the other mods and other weapons.
Increased the value of the Improved Gas System mod to make it more relevant
Swapped places of the second Expanded Ammo Bags mod and the Improved Gas System mod
Increased the range of the Electric Arc mod as it was too short

Other Weapon Tweaks

Increased damage done by the Gunner’s Sticky Grenade to the creature it is stuck on as it felt a bit meh before.
Decreased the damage bonus of the Defender mod for the LMG Gun Platform as it has turned out to be too powerful.

slow wharf Jun 24, 2019, 1:16 PM

UPDATE 24 - HOTFIX 8

Fixed Q'ronar Shellback’s unintended 100% Explosion Resistance to 80%
Woodlouse younglings are no longer completely immune to explosions and electrical damage when rolling
Fix for Bosco making gems unreachable after someone Latejoined

slow wharf Sep 26, 2019, 11:35 AM

Hi Miners, @everyone
Whew! You’ve been patient with us for a long while, but Update 25 - our most ambitious update to date - is finally here! Deep Dives, even more gear customization, late-game rewards, tons of new skins, cargo crates, overhauled beard physics...hoh boy, Miners - this is a big one. Our beards grew 6 inches just from writing these patch notes.

--- PATCH NOTES ---

DEEP DIVES
----------------------------
If you’re a Dwarf that’s looking to go places, we have just the opportunity for you. As a promoted Dwarf you have been deemed worthy to get special access to weekly Deep Dives - three consecutive seeded missions, where ammunition and health carries over to the next mission. In Deep Dives you will have to complete two objectives in each stage and chances for encountering Mutators are very high. Each of the three stages of a Deep Dive will grant you rewards upon completion, ranging from minerals to the new Matrix Cores. While you can complete the week’s Deep Dives as many times as you want and improve your best time, bear in mind the rewards can only be claimed once per week.

MATRIX CORES
----------------------------
Not getting paid enough? We’re giving your Deep Rock Galactic pay-slip a boost. Matrix Cores are the cornerstones of the new rewards introduced in Deep Rock Galactic. In Update 25 you will receive Infused Matrix Cores - Matrix Cores with already predefined content, that can be used to forge Weapon Overclocks or glorious all-new beards and helmets. In Update 26 we will introduce a way to infuse Blank Matrix Cores, but more on that when we get closer.

THE FORGE
----------------------------
The place where you go with you Infused Matrix Core and forge them into something usefull. Also note that forging Infused Matrix Cores will increase your Forging Mastery and earn you even more Matrix Cores. It’s Hammertime!

WEAPON OVERCLOCK CORES
----------------------------
If you’ve been wanting bigger explosions or new ways to shred entire tunnels of bloodthirsty glyphids, then you’ll love the upgrades you’ll be unlocking for your arsenal. Weapon Overclocks range from basic but minor improvements like increase magazine capacity, to providing entirely new ways to modify the overall weapon functionality.
Deal radioactive splash damage with your Grenade Launcher? There’s an overclock for that. Gain more airtime while aiming down the sights of the M1000 rifle? There’s an overclock for that. Shred the enemies with ice shards from your Cryo Cannon? You guessed it. There’s an overclock for that.

COSMETIC CORES
----------------------------
With Update 25, we’re doubling down on glorious facial hair and other cosmetic items. If you thought your current beard was the most dwarven it could get... boy, do we have some hairy news for you.

NEW ASSIGNMENTS
----------------------------
BREACH THE CORE: Upon your first promotion of any dwarf you get access to a new assignment called BREACH THE CORE. Complete this to earn a handful of Infused Matrix Cores and get your collection of Weapon Overclocks and Rare Cosmetics kick-started. Completing the assignment will also unlock the Weekly Core Hunt.

WEEKLY CORE HUNT: For those veteran dwarves looking to make a little spare cash for beard accessories on the side, there’s now Weekly Core Hunt assignments available for Promoted Dwarves. Finishing these will reward you both a Weapon Overclock Core and a Cosmetic Core. Stay strong and classy.

CARGO CRATES
----------------------------
It’s not all about the Deep Dives, though. Be on the lookout for lost Cargo Crates in the caves of normal missions - they are known to contain copious amounts of minerals and weapon skins!

NEW MUTATORS
----------------------------

WARNINGS
----------------------------
LOW OXYGEN: As the title says - hold your breath and try not to die before you reach an oxygen tank.

LETHAL ENEMIES: The aliens are extra cranky today. All enemies deal significantly more damage.

REGENERATIVE BUGS: I’ll have what they’re having. All enemies regenerate their health if you wound them and don’t take them out straight away.

PARASITES: Well, it gets even worse. The aliens in this place are just… ugh… just full of angry, parasitic worms.

HAUNTED CAVE: There’s… SOMETHING… in this cave. It is hunting you. Relentlessly. And it just...won’t...die! Don’t stop. Don’t look behind you. It’s right there constantly coming for you.

ANOMALIES
----------------------------
VOLATILE GUTS: You thought Exploder Infestation was bad? Well, whatever infested those poor creatures has run rampant here. Every alien explodes. Just awful.

BEARD PHYSICS
----------------------------
Glorious facial hair is the hallmark of a good dwarf. We’ve added enhanced beard physics to enhance that magnificent feeling of having a proper dwarven beard.

MORE DWARVEN SHOUTS
----------------------------
Nothing is more dwarvish than yelling at stuff, so we’ve added a whole new range of voice lines to the mix. There are new shouts for Power Attacks, salutes, grenade throws, laser pointer, and lots more.

BIOMES
----------------------------

New dripping rainfall effect. It can often occur in Dense Biozone and rarely in Crystalline Caverns.
Moving through deep snow in Glacial Strata is less of a slog now - you should notice a significant boost in movement speed.

BULLET TRAILS
----------------------------
They make weapon spread, recoil, and other features more visible so the effect of certain Mods and Overclocks is clearly noticeable. Plus, we also think they look neat.

NO MORE “FLOATING ISLANDS”
----------------------------
Strange anomalies were causing gravity-defying behaviour where crystals, dirt, and other biome elements were floating when separated from their anchor points. They no longer do that. No more getting stuck on tiny little bits of floating rock after digging!

CUSTOMIZABLE HUD
----------------------------
Less is sometimes more. There is a whole slew of new options for HUD customization, letting you set up what’s shown and what isn’t completely to your liking - including dynamic options to make elements appear when they are relevant and disappear when they are not.

INTERPLANETARY MINERS UNION
----------------------------
The Interplanetary Miners Union has finally made its way to Hoxxes IV for Discord users. By joining one of the three Union Chapters, you can work towards both specific chapter goals and a collective goal. There are Union sanctioned rewards to collect!

THROW LIKE AN ATHLETE
----------------------------
Being a miner demands precision in every aspect, and so we’ve added a new throwing mechanic to the game. Click to let go of a held object, hold down to charge your throw with the desired amount of force.

WEAPON TWEAKS

SATCHEL CHARGE

Loading a mission can in rare cases result in black screen or load-bar not progressing. We have seen this at the office but have yet to find what's causing this.

New hotfix hotfix up - weekly core mission should work now

sly heath Oct 4, 2019, 1:04 PM

Hotfix 7

Hi Miners,
As you can see we are busy hotfixing update 25 and we are not done yet!

With hotfix 7 we have tried (again!) to fix the black screen issue some people are experiencing - fingers crossed it is fixed now. The other big topic is that we discovered a bug in the logic for spawning enemies and since we fixed it more enemies have been spawning than was meant to. We have tried to normalize the difficulty now, but will continuously be monitoring the difficulty.

Another thing to notice is that when we do changes to anything related to missions and cave generation the Deep Dives may change, but you can still only reap the rewards for completing the Deep Dives once.
Cheers,
-The Ghost ship Crew

UPDATE 26 LIVE NOW!

Hello Miners! @everyone

Update 26 is here! In this second part of the Endgame, we’ve added a brand new system of Machine Events to encounter during normal missions, a much needed overhaul and expansion of the Bar, all new Victory Moves, as well as skins for both Bosco and your weapons, plus an absolute ton of minor bug fixes, tweaks, and improvements. Let’s get to work!

--- PATCH NOTES ---

MACHINE EVENTS
----------------------------

Deep Rock Galactic is developing strategic operations all around the planet. The company is worried about some strange mutations affecting the creatures of Hoxxes as well as peculiar crystals interfering with scanners and other devices in orbit. To eradicate the threat or simply to take samples, these operations require expert dwarven action to be finalized. If you stumble upon one, give it a go and hope that the reward is worth the risk!

Three different Machine Events can be found in random missions: Kursite Infection, Rock Mutation, and Tritilyte Crystal. Each of them offers a different timed challenge that must be completed in order to get access to the Core Infuser where Blank Matrix Cores can be used.

To activate a Machine Event, the player must own the Tritilyte Key. You will own a Tritilyte key if you have a Promoted dwarf.

BLANK MATRIX CORES
----------------------------

Blank Matrix Cores are part of the rewards for Deep Dives and the Core Hunt assignment. The first section of both Deep Dives will now reward Blank Matrix Cores instead of Mineral Container Cores. They can be infused by doing Machine Events, turning them into Overclock or Cosmetic Matrix Cores that can be used in the Forge.

BAR & BEER OVERHAUL

Notes from the Developers:
*- Machine Events are currently NOT rewarding players without Blank Matrix Cores: This is more a missing feature than a bug, so it will take a bit more time before a solution is implemented. The plan is to have the Machine Event appear as a Completed Objective and award you on the Mission End screen.

The "Hold-E to pick-up items" feature is hotly debated - thanks for all the feedback! This feature is something we always wanted in the game to create immersion and the feeling of working in the mines, so you are not just sprinting through the scenery. Changes like this are always tricky post-release. The current implementation is a first-pass and there are several ways it can be improved. The verdict is still out on this one, but as always, we want to test it with all of you and then get a feeling of the impact before we react.*

⛏️ --- HOTFIX 4--- ⛏️

Notes from the Developers:
It’s well known that beards and big armors are not a happy mix. While we have fixed the clipping issues, the issue with hidden beards in most armors for Gunner and Driller is even more pronounced. Don’t fret, we will fix this and make sure there are heavy armor options which allows you to showcase your magnificent beards. Making this will take a bit of time, so don’t expect it to be part of a hotfix.

Completed Machine Events now shows as a completed Mission Objective below Secondary Objective.

⛏️ UPDATE 27 LIVE NOW! ⛏️ @everyone

Hello Miners!

Update 27 is here, and just in time for the holidays! This update is a big bag of both lesser and major goodies: We’ve wrapped up the last Machine Event and added a ton of small but significant improvements and features - and a new enemy also managed to make the cut!

And from all of us here at the office: All the best wishes and a happy New Year! Now get back to work!

The Ghost Ship Team

--- PATCH NOTES ---

NEW MACHINE EVENT: OMEN MODULAR EXTERMINATOR
----------------------------
R&D came up with a brilliant idea for helping out our Pest Control teams: Project Omen - a vast network of interlinked Modular Extermination Towers, strategically inserted into caves all over Hoxxes. However, much to their regret, the Exterminators turned out to be just as dangerous to our own people as the bugs they were supposed to protect us against! So, the strategy is clear: Project Omen needs to be shut down. However… for security reasons, that can only be done through a… hands-on approach, by our esteemed ground teams.

Get in there, find and activate the Exterminator, engage the Maintenance Pads to expose the machine Cooling Tanks, and blow them to bits. Easy. Well, and you have to do so within a limited time window or the device goes into Lockdown.

PS: Do note, the Exterminators can be constructed from a variety of different modules, so for your personal safety, do take care to learn the patterns of each. R&D aren’t in the business of making kids’ toys, after all...

NEW ENEMY: GLYPHID OPPRESSOR
----------------------------
The Glyphid Oppressor is basically Veteran Glyphid Praetorian. It is a slow and extremely heavily armored tank - impossible to deal with from the front, but has a weak spot in the back. Up close, it deals a lot of damage and has a powerful area knockback attack. It can dig through the ground to get to you - Maneuverability is key to take it down this unstoppable beast.

LOADOUTS (COMMUNITY REQUEST)
----------------------------
Tweaking and modding your equipment has been a big thing in the game for a long time, and only got more complex with the introduction of Weapon Overclocks. So by popular demand, as well as our own, you can now set up and save up to three full loadouts for each of your dwarves!

NEW WEAPON SKIN
----------------------------
The FOURTH RELIC weapon skin can be found for all weapons in the Cargo Crates in the mines. It’s a callback to the past glory and greatness of the dwarf nation - adorn your boomsticks with golden ritual bands and clan insignia, and make your stand!

SMALL NEW ANIMATIONS
----------------------------
After introducing the recent pickup animations, we got inspired and have added a handful of other ones as well to better describe the actions happening. New animations added for:

Ledge Grab
Interacting with a Terminal
Hanging pose when on a Zipline
Throwing of carriable objects
...and maybe some more?

GAMEPLAY AND BALANCE TWEAKS
----------------------------

The Warning Shield Disruption will now give a smaller Health bonus.
Enemies now back out of active Shields instead of turning around and running away exposing their weak butts.
Glyphid Guards and Praetorians have had their Resistances to Temperature and Stun increased, making them a bit tougher to kill.
Glyphid Guard has had its health increased.
Glyphid Bulk Detonators unfreeze faster and when if they die while frozen they now explode with a nonlethal shockwave.
Jadiz and Enor pearl can now be found in Cargo Crates and are being dropped by the Hooli Hoarder.
Stepping over loose chunks of Minerals makes them float to you instead of just popping away.

WEAPON MODS & OVERCLOCKS BALANCE
----------------------------
THUNDERHEAD AUTOCANNON

Fixed the fire rate ramp-up mechanic so that the Lighter Barrel Assembly mod now works correctly and the weapon's top rate of fire can be displayed in the weapon stats as rounds per second instead of a percentage.
Replaced the Quickfire Ejector mod with a Magazine Capacity mod.
The Damage Resistance at Full RoF mod now displays a shield icon when it is active and the resistance amount can be seen in the weapon stats.

BEARDS & ARMORS
----------------------------
R&D has been very busy cooking up a solutions to ensure heavy beards and heavy armor can coexist in peace and harmony. Facial hair and combat suits are not natural friends, but now selecting a large beard will custom fit your heavy armor to make sure there is room for all that bushy glory.

This solution is not fully implemented yet! But our team of armorers and barbers are working round the clock to get all combinations of beard and armor looking their best.

NEW CAVE CONTENT
----------------------------
We have once again turned our attention to the caves and will be improving the variety of the special formations and flora that you can find down in the depths. For this update, we have added just a few new things to Fungus Bogs and The Salt Pits but there is more on the way.

In the coming updates more will be added all over the place.

ABYSS BAR
----------------------------

All beers now have unique beer mugs! Beer just tastes better when it’s looking fancy!
(COMMUNITY REQUEST) Unlocking a new beer now triggers Lloyd to serve up a free round - Only fair since you spend all the time collecting the beer ingredients.
Visiting the Abyss bar has never been more exciting!

UI & HUD
----------------------------
We are doing a lot of minor visual improvements all over the UI and HUD and will continue to do so in the coming time. For now, we’ve been focusing on making Unlocks and Rewards feel more satisfying and informative.

The mission map has received parallax scrolling to make it feel more dynamic
Ammo Status UI has been updated and better shows your ammo status

MISC. & FIXES
----------------------------

Mixer Integration now works again and can be enabled in the Options menu, and only Hosts can activate Mixer input

⛏️ UPDATE 28 LIVE NOW! ⛏️

Hello Miners,

Feeling Perky? Good, because UPDATE 28 is here to satisfy you with a meaty overhaul of our entire Perk System, the first part of the Space Rig redesign, as well as a very cool new addition to the way you can customize the look of your firearms.

The current focus for us here at Ghost Ship is to get the game ready for 1.0. Some of the ongoing tasks are a better onboarding experience for new players, as well as the upcoming Miner’s Manual which will teach you more about the game. And last but not least we’ll be doing a ton of quality of life improvements - but all that is for future updates, for now, we’re talking Update 28. Let’s dive in!

Cheers,
The Ghost Ship Crew

--- PATCH NOTES ---

PERK SYSTEM OVERHAUL
----------------------------
Perks can now either be Passive or Active. Passive Perks are pretty much what the Perks used to be. Equip one of these and you get a passive increase to a given stat. No activation needed - equip it and the benefit is just there. Active Perks, however, requires activation from you, and generally have either a Cooldown on their use or limited uses - sometimes even both! Their limited usability is compensated for by letting us make them more powerful.

With Update 28 we are also introducing a bunch of new Perks, both Passive and Active, and have tweaked the costs and requirements for pretty much all of them. This means that all Perk purchases have been reset, any spent Perk Points have been refunded to you, and all Perks need to be unlocked once more.

We hope you’ll have a lot of fun playing around and experimenting with the new Perk System, and as always we’re looking forward to hearing your feedback.

BEASTMASTER
Ever wanted to have a loyal Glyphid companion following you around? Well, this Active perk lets you tame a Glyphid Grunt. Your loyal many-legged sidekick will help you in combat and keep you company during the quiet periods.

BORN READY
If you hate reloading then this new Passive perk is for you. All of your weapons will automatically reload when not equipped for a few seconds.
**
DASH**
This Active combat mobility perk will quickly get you out of trouble with an extreme burst of speed for a short duration.

JUMP BOOTS
Dwarves may not be known for their jumping ability but with the aid of technology this Active perk lets you soar through the air. Useful both in combat and for quick vertical traversal. Just remember: what goes up must come down.

SEE YOU IN HELL
Go out with a bang with an Active perk that lets you detonate a plasma charge after going down, taking the bastards with you. For gameplay purposes the explosion was made to trigger quickly so you’ll have to do the Predator laugh yourself.

SHIELD LINK
This co-op focused Active Perk lets you overcharge a teammate’s shield to 300% for about 15 seconds. It also has a passive effect when you are close to a teammate, increasing the shield recharge rate for both of you.

TEMPERATURE INSULATION
Do you hate the cold? Is your Driller teammate constantly burning your behind? Do you want to see what is at the bottom of a lava geyser? Then get this Passive perk and enjoy a large resistance to extreme temperature fluctuations.

THORNS
A Passive perk that will deal damage to any critter foolish enough to bite you. Especially effective against swarmers and other small nuisances but keep in mind that it will not prevent you from taking damage from the attack.

Active Conversions
Not all of the Active Perks are new, the ones below are all heavily modified conversions of old perks.

ACTIVE IMPACT COMPENSATORS
We have transformed the old Passive Impact Compensators perk into something a little more powerful with fall damage reduction reaching 75% at Rank 3! As an Active perk it now requires that you hold the Jump button while landing to activate the effect and there is a not insignificant cooldown after each use.

BEZERKER
Another Passive to Active conversion, this perk now greatly reduces your Power Attack cooldown along with boosting normal melee damage. It is no longer dependent on your health but is instead activated by doing two Power Attacks in a row.

FIELD MEDIC
The old co-op favourite is now an Active perk and it gives you the ability to instantly revive a teammate once per mission. The perk’s old passive effect of speeding up the normal revive process is still there along with the Fear AoE that triggers when you finish reviving someone.

HEIGHTENED SENSES
We have expanded Heightened Senses to include all enemies that can grab you and it has become an Active perk with a limited-use ability to escape after being grabbed, killing your captor in the process.

IRON WILL
Now an Active perk that can only be triggered once per mission, we gave Iron Will a longer duration and it now grants a movement speed bonus instead of a penalty. The effect also gives stronger melee attacks, a faster power attack cooldown, resistance to slow-down effects and all of your weapons will be automatically reloaded when you activate this perk, so you get up ready to take names and kick ass.

MODIFIED PERKS
----------------------------
FRIENDLY
Formerly known as Loveable, now reduces both your incoming and outgoing friendly-fire damage. It still doesn’t completely remove it though, so remember to watch where you are shooting

RESUPPLIER
On top of the original reduction to the time it takes to resupply and the automatic weapon reload, this passive perk now also increases the amount of healing you get when resupplying.

SECOND WIND
A reincarnation of the Weekend Athlete perk, Second Wind is a Passive perk that will boost your sprint speed after running for a few seconds. Great for getting to point B faster or for making distance between you and the murderous horde.

STRONG ARM
Now this Passive perk also grants a bonus to throwing heavy objects like Gems on top of it’s old bonus to throwing flares.

UNSTOPPABLE
We took the Strong Back perk and slapped on a resistance to all environmental slow effects. The result is a perk that keeps you moving in all situations.

VETERAN DEPOSITER
We’ve given this old-boy an increase in the damage reduction radius and buffed the deposit speed to a maximum bonus of +50%.

SPACE RIG REDESIGN
----------------------------
The Space Rig is something we’ve wanted to update for a long time. It is, however, a large task, and we will be doing it in steps. The first and most crucial step is what we’re doing in Update 28 - the overall rearranging and restructuring of the place, and getting everything in more contextually sound and meaningful positions instead of just having rows of identical terminals next to each other. Work on the Space Rig will continue from now on and up until we end Early Access and launch the game fully, and will include full terminal overhauls such as how we’ve treated the Forge by giving it a fully custom model from the get-go.

PAINTJOBS & FRAMEWORKS [COMMUNITY REQUEST]
----------------------------
Sometimes good things come out of a bug! As some players have pointed out, a bug in the Equipment Terminal allowed you to merge some of the weapon skins together. We’ve decided to implement it as a full feature after seeing the response it’s been getting.

Weapon Skins are now divided into two distinct categories: Frameworks and Paintjobs. Frameworks change the actual model - adding or altering stuff on the weapon to make it look different. And Paintjobs is the overall coloring and texturing of the weapon. Making this split allows for a lot more combinations than were available so far, and should serve to make new Paintjobs feel a lot more rewarding to get than before since you can use it with any Framework. Every existing skin has gone through this revamp, and you get to keep anything you’ve already unlocked.

BLANK CORES VS. RESOURCE CANISTERS [COMMUNITY REQUEST]
----------------------------
If you have obtained all Overclocks you used to get a resource core in place of an Overclock. You now get a blank core instead. We agree with you that it makes so much more sense, though it will make you guys who play a lot, burn through the content that much faster.

⛏️ HOTFIX 4 LIVE NOW! ⛏️

Hello Miners,

Before we get to the patch notes, let’s talk about Jump Boots and why we are removing them in their current form.

So, why do we remove something that almost all of you regard as a lot of fun and one of the better Perks? Basically, we have a quite specific vision in mind for Deep Rock Galactic. We have always stated that this is a Co-op First game and every design decision has to be with the co-op aspect in mind. But the Jump Boots detracted from the class dependencies unless everybody had them on. From a design point of view, we might as well give everybody Jump Boots as a default movement mechanic. So, let’s talk about why we believe that’s not a good idea for this game.

Apart from the co-op aspect, we have a punchline called “Danger Darkness Dwarves”. This is the very core of Deep Rock Galactic. You play as hardy dwarves working their way through danger and darkness. It’s never easy. It’s slow and hard work. But you have the weapons, tools, and skills to overcome the challenges. You are tough and you never give up. We have used this as guidelines when designing features for the game.

But, while some features can be fun in isolation, they can affect other aspects of the game that are fun. When that happens, we have to decide which features have priority. In this case, altering the terrain and creating paths for yourself and your teammates as you traverse is considered a core principle of DRG and what sets it apart from other titles. Therefore, although a high mobility skill can be apparently fun, it can remove the fun from many other situations - situations that support the fantasy of playing a hard-working, space-mining dwarf.

So, why did we include them in the first place? In short, it was a miscalculation on our part. Our approach to Early Access has always been to release what we have as soon as possible and then fix and tweak based on your feedback. But for Jump Boots, this was the wrong approach. Most of you rightfully fell in love with their easy-fun and general-purpose abilities, both useful in traversal and combat. And individually, there is nothing wrong with that, but seen as a whole (as we must do as Devs), this turned out to be a huge risk to the core of the game. We should have foreseen this and kept Jump Boots in the cooker a bit longer before making a decision on them.

We hope you understand and can forgive us for this mistake

We do expect to bring Jump Boots back later, maybe as a reworked Perk, maybe as Mutator or maybe as part of a power-up system. But for now, they are gone.

Now onto the rest of the patch notes

--- PATCH NOTES ---

Firstly, thanks to all of you for the feedback on the Perks. We’ve looked through your discussions, comments, and suggestions, both here on the Steam forum, in the Discord, in Reddit, and everywhere else where you write to us. In many cases, there are arguments both for and against certain changes, so we are mostly focusing on where there seems to be consensus and where we agree that it’s better for the game in the long term.

Rebalancing

We have been doing a major rebalance of the Perk Points and Milestones economy. With the previous implementation, the grind was simply way too long. Our design goal with the new implementation has been to allow you to unlock the majority of the perks within your first promotion of each of the four dwarves (roughly around 40-50 hours of gameplay). Here is what we have tweaked.

We have:

Reduced the prices of the Perks in the Perk-tree
Lowered the goals for the individual Milestones, so they should be much easier to complete now.
Increased the number of excess perk points in the system - meaning you don’t have to complete every Milestone to fully unlock the Perk-tree.

With this rebalance we have had to reset the Milestones. Don’t panic! You haven’t lost anything, but when you open the game the first time after you have updated, you will have to re-reclaim every Milestone you have previously completed. It is a bit of work if you are an experienced miner, but on the other hand, it also gives you the opportunity to see all the progress you have made in the game in a very fast way 🙂

Perk Changes

Many of you have pointed out that the removal of Weekend Athlete was too much of a change. Even with the introduction of Second Wind and Dash, it is clear from the mission-success metric that the higher hazard levels increased in difficulty beyond what was intended. Therefore, we are lowering the enemy speed boost on the highest difficulty a little bit and then we’ll check the metric in a few days again.

As written above, we are removing Jump Boots for now. Related to this, we are reworking Active Impact Compensators. They were not as useful as we intended, so we are now merging in a bit of the idea from Jump Boots and turning this into a Perk called Hover Boots. Their main purpose is to halt your flying movement when you activate them. You can use this to avoid falling damage or any environmental effect that pushes you around.

The rest of the Perk changes are smaller improvements and QoL fixes. We’ll keep reading the feedback and monitoring our metrics to see if further tweaks are needed.

⛏️ HOTFIX 8 LIVE NOW! ⛏️

Hello Miners,

We are back with yet another hotfix for Update 28. This hotfix will most likely (fingers crossed) be the last one before we fully start to focus on Update 29.

When we launched Update 28, we had removed two perks: Weekend Athlete and Souped Up Zipline Motor. We were super focused on explaining some of the other perk changes we had made (guess which!) and we forgot to tell you some of the reasoning behind why these two were pulled. So here it goes:

When we were rethinking the perk system, there were two things that we wanted to change: perks that were boring because they presented an obvious choice to the player and perks that were causing uninteresting and not enjoyable in the long run gameplay. In the case of Zipline Motor, we just thought that everyone should be able to use a speed increase and it should not be a choice against other perks. Unfortunately, we didn’t implement it in time, but here it is!

For Weekend Athlete, the conversation was similar. More speed was too strong to allow the rest of the perks to compete and that was the reason for its removal. However, we didn’t realize the big impact it would have for all the players who have enjoyed the game at that speed for so long (including many of us devs). We have spent these weeks trying to find out what we think is the ideal speed for the game and we have decided to increase the base sprint for everyone to a value similar to what the first stage of Weekend Athlete was.

Hotfix 8 also has a lot of other perk-improvements visually as well as functionally. Look in the notes below for details.

And finally, thank you for all your feedback! It really helps us shape the game, and even though all of you are not always happy with the changes we do, we do listen and decisions we make are never set in stone. Please keep it coming 🙂

Cheers,

The Ghost Ship Crew rocknstone

--- PATCH NOTES ---

General Sprint Speed increased
Enemy Movement Speed has been slightly increased for Haz 4 and 5 and on Elite Deep Dives now that player Sprint Speed has gone up
Added a new mechanic to Ziplines. All dwarves can now slide fast on Ziplines that are angled downwards. Simply look down the zipline and press and hold forward to let go of the break. Release forward to slow down again. Sliding speed is relative to the angle of the Zipline.
Fixed a bug that prevented Machine Events from being interactable when the FIRE button is remapped
Fixed text overflow for certain languages on elements in Mission Selection
Improved the logic of how enemies select a target and distribute themselves between the player, Steeve, Pheromones and the Lure
Reverted a previous change which has since caused M.U.L.E. to be more likely to walk through terrain
Slightly reduced the size of perk pop-up icons

PERK TWEAKS

SHIELD LINK

Shield Boost now lasts for 30 seconds at final rank
Added first person effect to Shield Boost when giving and receiving it.

BERZERKER

Updated the Perk description, old text could be misunderstood.
Added a new first person effect overlay to give you a better feeling of how long it lasts.

THORNS

Added a small cooldown so that a large group of swarmers does not get killed in a single pass and can still pose a minor threat to the player.
Added a 4th tier to the perk bringing the damage assigned up to 24 HP.

HOVER BOOTS

Hold to activate time decreased to be way more snappy
Cooldown decreased to a 75 secs when max upgraded
Hangtime Increased to 3.5 when fully upgraded
Improved the Hoverboots visual effects

FIELD MEDIC

Instant Revive now activates instant on button press instead of hold.

SEE YOU IN HELL

Explosion now leaves an electric field behind for 15 seconds electrocuting and scaring off enemies.
Explosion deals double damage of what it used to and can now take out Praetorians on some difficulty settings.
Fixed a sound bug, that would mute the explosion sound if music was turned down.
Passive Effect added to the Perk. Any time an enemy hits you with a melee attack you get a temporary melee damage bonus. This effect lasts for 1.5 seconds. Revenge never felt this good before :-)
Added a new icon.

DASH

Reduced cooldown of Dash on all tiers
Increased the speed of Dash slightly
Added new third person effects to Dash
Added a new sound for when Dash is activated
Fixed a bug that caused Dash to sometimes not activate, it should be way more reliable now.

SWEET TOOTH

Changed Sweet Tooth to give you more health from Red Sugar

BEAST MASTER

Steeve can no longer be affected by Sticky Flames
Added new sound and particle effects when you tame a Grunt
Steeve is no longer ignored by other enemies. This means he will actually start taking damage when fighting his siblings.

ELEMENTAL INSULATION

Temperature insulation is now called Elemental Insulation and gives resistance to all elemental damage: fire, cold, poison/acid, radiation, and electricity.
Percentage bonuses on the tiers have been reduced to +20%, +25%, +30% -to not make this perk too OP with the changes listed above.

SECOND WIND

Speed percentage bonus of Second Wind has been reduced. The percentage increase on Second Wind is based on the general sprint speed, and since that has been tweaked up, we had to tweak the percentage bonus down in order to have the effect of Second Wind stay the same as it was.

UPDATE 29 is now live on Steam!

--- PATCH NOTES ---

PICKAXE CUSTOMIZATION

Every miner needs a pickaxe, but no two pickaxes need to look the same! Find and unlock new parts to customize each of the six different sections of your pickaxe, not to mention a handful of brand new Paintjobs for it as well. Crack those rocks in style!

LOST PACK ENCOUNTER

If you see some lost gear scattered around the place, try to find a blinking helmet. Use that to download the location of the lost dwarf’s backpack and track it down using your Terrain Scanner. They are always full of pickaxe parts and precious minerals.

DROP POD OVERHAUL

Let’s be blunt… the Drop Pod has been in need of a facelift for a while. That has now happened - including Fuzzy Dice!

NEW DWARF SHOUTS

BISMOR, BISMOR, BISMOR! A good bunch of new shouts have been added, including some notorious missing Laser Pointer shouts!

SPACERIG EXTERIOR

Did you know that the Launch Bay is only a small part of the Spacerig infrastructure?

MINER’S MANUAL

Missions, Crafting Resources, Damage Types, Weapon Mods... There are so many systems in DRG! It can be overwhelming at first. We collected as much information as we could and created a ton of new infographics to make a guide. Hopefully this will help during the first few hours of the game. There might even be some details veteran miners didn’t know.

It’s the intention that the Miner’s Manual will continue to expand with new entries and chapters in future updates.

IMPROVED TUTORIAL

Mining is way more fun once you know the basics. There is now a brand-new and more streamlined Tutorial with clear instructions and tasks. Let’s get the Greenbeards up to speed as soon as possible, Management wants to see that ore flowing!

ESCAPE-MENU OVERHAUL

With the inclusion of the Miner’s Manual, we decided to redo the whole Escape menu. The main tab is the Status, where you can read all the information about your current Mission, Loadout, and Team. Many of the items link directly to the Miner’s Manual, so you can learn more about, for instance, the current Mission Warning Mutator with just one click.

VANITY ICONS

All cosmetic items, both from The Shop and The Forge, now have proper icon previews! They are perfect for quick sorting and to avoid “guess forging”, but, most importantly, they look cool.

ARMOR PAINTJOBS [COMMUNITY REQUEST]

Rearranged many of the Mods
NOTE: Anyone who owned the removed Mods will be refunded the Minerals and Credits they spent

Overclock Tweaks

⛏️ HOTFIX 8 LIVE NOW! ⛏️

Hello Miners,

This hotfix includes a moderate boost to the health of the Glyphid Praetorian as well as several weapon fixes and tweaks, especially to the Experimental Plasma Charger. Read the patch notes below for all the juicy details!

--- PATCH NOTES ---

Fixed a bug that caused your character model to turn into a grenade in Terminals
Further improvements to prevent the Droppod from landing on Machine Events.
Fixed a bug that could make other players animations look laggy if their net connection was poor
Enabled network smoothing on the server when looking at clients
Beast Master now actives by holding the Use button
Fixed a bug that caused Glyphid Praetorian / Glyphid Oppressor / Dreadnought attacks to only damage players and not tamed Glyphids
Fixed a bug that caused enemies to attack tamed Glyphids even after they are dead
Fixed a bug that enabled the Glyphid Oppressors attacks to trigger after death
Increased the damage from Temperature Shock
Made Temperature Shock activation more reliable and responsive
New temperature shock icons and added a sound to improve feedback
Fixed a case where enemies would not spawn from waves if you buried yourself in a tiny room so small that it has no nav points
Added new crystal formations to Crystal Caverns

ENEMY TWEAKS
----------------------------

Added a 25% health boost to the Glyphid Praetorian
Having diverse enemies (in terms of speed, size, health, attack rate, etc.) is what we think creates interesting action and makes target prioritization relevant and worth mastering. We have units with radically different properties so the mix of enemies, together with the level layout, will often generate small combat “puzzles” that are fun to engage with.
One element we always considered vital is having enemies with a significantly larger health pool. That’s the reason why Praetorians can be found in every mission. An enemy that stays alive for longer is likely to produce situations in which the player has to reevaluate the combat circumstances. For instance, you might need to engage another target before finishing this one off. It makes smaller and more aggressive enemies shine because they synergize. They also incentivize teamwork, since they encourage joining forces to be defeated.
We felt that, with the current firepower, Praetorians are not playing their part. They die too fast for these things to happen. A moderate health boost should allow the Praetorian to perform the role we envisioned for this enemy.

GENERAL WEAPON FIXES
----------------------------

Fixed Warthog crosshair showing a dot in the middle
Fixed BRT mod that stuns on all bullets hitting the target not working for clients.
Fixed a bug that caused the crosshair to disappear
Fixed Sticky Grenade for client
Fixed return to sender being able to reverse the projectile speed multiple times
Fixed Explosive Goodbye not being activatable for clients
Fixed line projectiles with Explosive Goodbye not exploding if you pressed again too quickly
Increased the size of the plasma field left behind by the Explosive Goodbye mod on the Breech Cutter

EXPERIMENTAL PLASMA CHARGER TWEAKS
----------------------------

Changed the two charged shot damage mods to affect both AoE and direct damage
Replaced the Bouncy Plasma mod with the Plasma Burn mod that heats targets up potentially setting them on fire or extending the burn time of enemies that are already on fire
Made it so that the Thin Containment Field mod now also affects the heat generated by normal shots
Decreased the charge speed bonus from crystal capacitors
Lowered the radius bonus of the Expanded Plasma Splash mod
Flying Nightmare projectile now continues through all targets but no longer causes an explosion on impact
Reduced the base radius of the Flying Nightmare projectile
Flying Nightmare radius is now increased by the Plasma Splash mod and Overcharger OC
Updated the stats display to more clearly communicate the damage of a Flying Nightmare projectile
Increased the direct damage bonus and added an AoE damage and range bonus to the Overcharger OC and the penalties are now charge shot ammo cost and cooling rate
Increased the damage bonus and ammo penalty of Heavy Hitter OC
Increased the size of the field left behind by the Persistent Plasma OC and extended it's life
Replaced the cooling penalty on the Heat Pipe OC with a penalty to the heat generated by normal shots and added a small bonus to charge speed
Fixed the Persistent Plasma OC not triggering when a Thin Containment Field shot was detonated
Fixed Flying Nightmare damage not being affected by the Overcharger OC

⛏️ 🎉 1.0 LAUNCH BUILD LIVE NOW ⛏️🎉

Hello Miners!

It’s fantastic to finally be welcoming you all to Deep Rock Galactic 1.0!

This marks the end of more than two years of Early Access development and It has been an amazing journey! We could not have asked for a better community to have along for the ride. And, if you are a new player, rest assured that hard work in the mines awaits you, alongside high adventure, big guns, fancy beards, alien monsters ... and of course - all your fellow dwarven miners!

We are super, super excited to leave Early Access and seeing where the game will go from here. And fear not...we are far from done adding to DRG!

Rock And Stone!

With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

--- PATCH NOTES ---

SOUNDTRACK VOL. II
----------------------------
For the last year we have been working on a Vol. II of the soundtrack for DRG - and it is finally here - allowing you to mine, fight and groove to 14 completely new tracks of synthy, bassy goodness! Deep Rock Galactic needs to invest in some bigger speakers… NOW!

NEW PROMOTION TIERS
----------------------------
Believe it or not but now there are 3 more Tiers above Gold, for when you are promoting your dwarves: PLATINUM, DIAMOND, LEGENDARY! This is mainly a show-off thing for super veteran players who have been investing blood, sweat and a lot of time in Deep Rock Galactic. We salute you!

PRESTIGE ASSIGNMENTS
----------------------------
As you increase your Player Rank, you will get access to special Prestige Assignments. Completing them will reward you with full sets of Pickaxe parts, Armor skins and new Helmets. Prestige Assignments are unlocked at Player Rank 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 75 and 100.

A couple of months ago we were toying around with awarding you vanity on the promotion itself (some of you might have tested it on the Experimental build), but we were not totally happy with the system and have instead gone for an approach with unlocking Prestige Assignments based on your Player Rank.

BIOMES
----------------------------
Crystalline Caverns have gotten more crystal variations. It’s now crystal clear why it is called by that name!

COMMUNITY REQUESTS
----------------------------
Here are a bunch of features we have added by popular demand:

We have added a sweet Golden Paintjob for your trusty Pickaxe to the Supporter Pack
We have added a separate volume slider for Mission Control. Don’t tell Management!

⛏️ Small update to fix crash when joining games.

rough blade May 16, 2020, 8:43 AM

⛏️ Hotfix 1 - Build 40190 is live!

Fixed Dreadnought eggs in elimination was not using correct terrain detection and could be placed on very thin ground, making the egg break immidiatly.

Flares are now upgraded from the start instead of having to purchase mods. Those who bought the mods will get them refunded. The flare mods were a remnant from the old upgrade system. They were not adding anything substantial to the player progression and were an unnecessary hindrance to new players
Adjusted Machine event floor height so that they are less covered. (Like before)

⛏️ HOTFIX 2 LIVE NOW ⛏️

Hello Miners!

We just released a new hotfix patch and besides the usual chunk of fixes and tweaks, we’ve also added some things in relation to the cosmetic Packs.

First of all, we realized that the Dark Future Pack lacked an obvious component: a Dark Future Paintjob for all weapons. It makes sense to have the counterpart included so you can have a complete look with one purchase.

From all the feedback we got (and thanks for that), it was clear that some were quite confused on what they had actually received in the various Packs and where to find the items. So we have now added a nice Claim pop-up for each Pack, including the Supporter Upgrade. This will pop for all that have bought the Packs no matter how long time since it was acquired.

Finally, we saw there was a clear expectation that buying a Pack with a unique Framework (armor or weapon mesh) would include a Paintjob that was applicable across all meshes of the same type. This is not the case by default, so we added the Pack unique Paintjobs to fit other meshes.

For the in-game Frameworks (again both armor and weapon meshes), we have now added a new icon to the default Paintjob indicating that this default Paintjob is just the basic skin and not applicable to all meshes.

In this hotfix you will also find a small QoL feature for photosensitive players, and minor convenience tweaks like changing Waypoint marker to Use key (defaults to E) instead of holding Fire, which was not super intuitive.

We’ll keep listening to your feedback and adjust accordingly.

With love
The Ghost Ship Crew

⛏️ UPDATE 31 - NOW LIVE ON STEAM! ⛏️

Hello Miners!

It’s time for our first Post-Launch Update! And speaking of the launch - a hearty welcome to all the new miners! We hope you enjoy the game, and we want to give a big thank you to all the veteran miners who have been helping you learn the ins and outs of deep space mining since launch.

Update 31 is primarily focused on doing a bit of pick-up after launch - adding some things we had to cut for the 1.0 because of time constraints, as well as fixing a ton of minor and major bugs and crashes based on feedback from you guys. Update 32 will add new Mission Types, but more on that when our plans are more fleshed out.

Cheers,
The Ghost Ship Crew

**--- PATCH NOTES ---

MINER’S MANUAL: CREATURE PAGES
----------------------------**
An obvious part of the Miner’s Manual we planned from the very beginning - a full library of every creature in the game. And now it’s there, chock full of information, tips, and even a bit of lore for those into that kind of thing! Every creature-entry starts off locked and will be revealed as you encounter them in the flesh.

3 x NEW SECONDARY OBJECTIVES
----------------------------
We’ve added three new Secondary Mission Objectives to spice things up a bit.

GUNK SEEDS: Shoot the hanging slimesacks to release the precious Gunk Seeds within!
EBONUTS: Destroy the tough outer shell and harvest the nuts inside!
FESTER FLEAS: Pest control - take out these small annoying bugs before they start multiplying!

NEW ENEMY: KORLOK TYRANT-WEED
----------------------------
The Tyrant-Weed is a brand new encounter for you to...encounter in the caves. Take out the central Heart-Growth before it manages to seed the surrounding area with so many shooting sproutlings that it overwhelms you! When you have destroyed it remember to deposit the Tyrant Shards, which will reward you with a nice credit and XP Bonus upon mission completion.

BIOME UPDATES
----------------------------
Radioactive Exclusion Zone, Dense Biozone, Fungus Bogs have all gotten a bunch of new shapes added to them. Huge Mushrooms, Coral-like Growths, and more - go explore to discover it all!

NEW BEER: SMART STOUT
----------------------------
A new beer is ready for you to unlock in the Abyss Bar, once you reach Player Rank 23. Drink it and you will be struck by momentary flashes of deep insight...

SPACE RIG UPDATES
----------------------------
The Space Rig continues to be fleshed out with more detail - it’s dirtier and messier than ever! The Wardrobes in particular have gotten a graphical overhaul that should hopefully make them stand out a bit more.

[COMMUNITY REQUEST] Added a Refrigerator to the Abyss Bar! It doesn’t display fanart yet, but we’re looking into options. :D

JUKE BOX UPDATE
----------------------------
We have had to remove two tracks from the Jukebox due to problems with content creators getting unjustified copyright claims. To compensate we have added nine brand new tracks - reggae, surf, rock, banjo and more.

**UPDATE 32: ROUGHNECKS AT WORK
**
Hello Roughnecks!

It’s finally time for our first major Post-Launch Update! The main dish is two brand-new mission types: Escort Duty and On-site Refining. Both mission types focus on heavy duty mining equipment that needs tender loving care and protection from a team of hard working dwarves! The side dish includes a ton of new cosmetics, further weapon balancing, a much-needed overhaul of the Assignment Board, and many other things. Bon appetit!

It’s time to get greasy! There has never been a better time to be a combat miner working for DRG. See you in the mines!

With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

--- PATCH NOTES ---

NEW MISSION: ON-SITE REFINING

Management has a new thirst: Liquid Morkite. They are sending you in alongside an On-Site Refinery to fill. Locate the Liquid Morkite wells and hook them up to orbital-insertion industrial Pumpjacks, connect them to the Refinery by building huge, winding pipelines, and pump those deposits dry! Oh, and the good people down in RnD even felt generous enough to build in a handy way to use the pipelines for quick, easy, and SAFE* traversal.

*Check the clause 3.15 of your contract to read more about the company’s definition of “safe”.

NEW MISSION: Escort DUTY

In this heavily combat-focused mission you are sent in to obtain a mysterious Ommoran Heartstone! Only the specially built autonomous Drilldozer can make it through the outer shell of the Ommoran and reveal the prize inside: The priceless Ommoran Heartstone. The Drilldozer will land at a safe distance, and then automatically home in on the Ommoran. Your job is to keep the dang thing safe and fueled as it digs its way towards the objective. Guard it with your life, Miners!

NEW ASSIGNMENT: ROUGHNECKS AT WORK

This new Assignment serves as a crash course in how to safely complete the new missions and make it back alive - and will reward you with some fancy new headwear on completion. What’s not to love?

NEW COSMETICS

Attention, fashion freaks! The new fall collection has just dropped with a beautiful selection of new Beards, Headwear, and Hairdos! 27 new Cosmetics have been added to the Shop, 11 new Cosmetics can be forged with Matrix Cores, and 1 new Headwear will be rewarded by completing the new assignment.

NEW DLC: ROUGHNECK PACK

If you really want to rough it up, the new Roughneck Pack has you covered. Spice up your looks with four new sets of unique armor (one per class), new helmets, and new Paintjobs. This pack is squarely aimed at those that can’t be bothered dressing up as a space marine, and just want to get stuck into the hard work at hand! Finally, show off those figurative guns - as well as that choice selection of tattoos you’ve kept under wraps for so long!

On top of the Armors, the pack comes with two unique helmets, as well as a new Paintjob for Bosco and your Pickaxe.

RANDOMIZE COSMETIC IN WARDROBE

Talking about fashion...if you are one of those persons who can’t decide which helmet to wear or how to style your beard or maybe you are just too afraid to try something new and daring, well….we got great news for you: The Wardrobe has been equipped with new Randomize buttons - Full Outfit as well per Category. Trying out new and unexpected combos has never been easier!

ASSIGNMENT BOARD VISUAL OVERHAUL

DRG just invested in a better Assignment Board. Enjoy a fancy and more intuitive layout as you select your next assignment!

THROW MECHANIC CHANGES

CONTROLS: When carrying gems and other heavy items you can now throw on both [LEFT AND RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON] on PC or [LEFT AND RIGHT TRIGGER] on XBox. We made this change to accommodate the Fuel Canister (used in the Escort Duty mission) which is carried like a gem but also has functionality like a weapon or tool. In the future we could imagine having you find other tools and weapons that could be used in a similar way.

AUTO CANCEL THROW: If you do not release the throw button after reaching max throwing power the throw will auto-cancel after a short time.

HOTFIX 4 - Halloween fixes and free hats

Hello Miners,

Yesterday, we activated the Halloween event and it had way more Pumpkins than intended. We have dived into the caves and destroyed all the surplus pumpkins.

Also, after reviewing the feedback and weighing pros and cons, Management has decided that the two Halloween hats from 2018 and 2019 should be added to all players' wardrobe while the Halloween event is live.

Cheers,
*The Ghost Ship Crew *

Halloween themed Title Screen
Fix pumpkin mesh not replicated correctly. Resulting in weird movement for clients

pickaxe HOTFIX 7 pickaxe

Hello Miners,

Yet another bundle of miscellaneous tweaks and fixes!

There will now be a few more enemies during the Rock Attack phase of the Ommoran fight.

pickaxe HOTFIX 8 pickaxe

Hello Miners,

This will probably -hopefully- be one of the last hotfixes for Update 32 and our hotfix-spamming will soon come to an end - Hooray! But for now, here is a hotfix with some more tweaks and a bit of bug-fixing.

Cheers,
The Ghost Ship Crew

--- PATCH NOTES ---

⛏️ UPDATE 33: NEW FRONTIERS - NOW LIVE ON STEAM! ⛏️

Hello Miners!

It’s the first Update of 2021, and we got some spicy stuff for you! This time we got two entirely new Planetary Regions for you to explore - the mysterious wonders of the AZURE WEALD, and the thorn-infested hell of HOLLOW BOUGH. Update 33 also includes all new Mactera variations, and several new strains of horrible Glyphid Dreadnought mutations. And then of course there’s the usual slew of other goodies - read more below for the full picture!

With Love,

The Ghost Ship Crew

**--- PATCH NOTES ---

NEW BIOME: AZURE WEALD
----------------------------**
The Azure Weald is a chilly place, every bit as hostile as the rest of Hoxxes IV - but still, we cannot deny it is oddly beautiful. Dazzling, bioluminescent clusters of lichen light up the darkness, illuminating this fertile and overgrown Region in flickering neon colors. Don't let that lull you into a false sense of security, however - the Azure Weald brings to mind the deep jungle, in all its splendor and horror - and much like its terrestrial counterparts, it is absolutely not out to make friends. Kill or be killed - this is the law in this place.

NEW BIOME: HOLLOW BOUGH
----------------------------
Hollow Bough is a biological oddity that has the Science Department scratching their heads - this entire region of the planet is dominated by colossal, organic conglomerations resembling the inside of hollow trees. However, these structures are under attack by an invasive species of voracious vine-like plants, as much a threat to us as the planet itself. We recommend traversing these environs with extreme caution. The deep, dark folds of wood and bark house much more than a first glance let on.

NEW MILESTONES
----------------------------
New biomes means new Milestones - one set for Azure Weald and one for Hollow Bough.

MISSION OVERHAUL: ELIMINATION
----------------------------
It’s Dawn of the Dread down there! Multiple reports have come in from teams finding Dreadnought Cocoons that are further progressed in their metamorphosis than previously encountered. While there are no external markers on the cocoons to show that they are different, the things waiting patiently inside certainly are. So far two confirmed Dreadnought variants have been encountered but disturbing as this is, R&D ensures us that we are fortunate to have found them now and not later when the metamorphosis might be closer to completion.

DREADNOUGHT HIVEGUARD
Completely covered with unbreakable armor, this variant of the Dreadnought is immune to all damage, exposing it’s vulnerable areas only briefly while enraged. To make matters worse, the Hiveguard can call reinforcements to aid it in battle, hence the name. The Glyphid Sentinels that answer this battle call are unlike any we have ever seen. We have no idea where they are coming from but they are both fast and tough. R&D recommends engaging the Dreadnought Hiveguard with great caution and a lot of ammunition.

DREADNOUGHT ARBALEST AND LACERATOR
Question: What’s worse than one Glyphid Dreadnought? Answer: Two Glyphid Dreadnoughts. It would appear that a Cocooned Dreadnought can split in two during metamorphosis. The two monsters - the Arbalest and Lacerator - are both quite different from the original and from each other, displaying wholly unique behaviors. They would be bad enough on their own, but together they pose an immense threat - able to attack from multiple directions and varying ranges at once, while also displaying extreme mobility. Luckily, their shells are softer than that of a regular Dreadnought, allowing damage to pass through from any angle. R&D insists that this apparent weakness is only due to the untimely opening of the cocoon.

GLYPHID DREADNOUGHT TWEAKS
----------------------------

Dreadnought is now more aggressive and can now shoot two fireballs in a row when under 50% HP
Increased the Dreadnought's armor HP across all hazard levels but especially for Hazard Level 4 and 5 and made the Dreadnought's armor regrow after taking less damage
How soon the Dreadnought's armour regrows now scales with hazard for solo games just as it does for multiplayer
Extended the time before the dread regrows it's shield on lower hazards
Increased the Dreadnoughts base health across all hazard levels but especially for haz 4 and 5
The Dreadnought is now more aggressive in multiplayer games
Increased OG Dreadnought's movement speed, especially for higher hazards
Made the Dreadnought’s speed scale properly in solo games across the different hazard levels
Increased the range of the Dreadnought's Trembling Stomp AoE attack, extended the duration of the attack’s warning phase and improved the visibility of the warning
Made the Dreadnought occasionally perform it's Trembling Stomp AoE Attack after being frozen
The Dreadnought now unfreezes at a higher temp but gets there just as fast, making it harder to quickly freeze him twice in a row
Expanded the splash range of the dreadnoughts Swarm Bladder projectile
The Dreadnought is now invulnerable for the few seconds while it's armor regrows
In multiplayer games, when only one player is left alive the Dread will occasionally stop to roar(similar to how it does in solo games) giving the last player a slightly better chance to revive or resupply, etc.
“Sticky Flame Slowdown” mod no longer slows the Dreadnought down to a crawl, it’s still effective just not as extreme
Decreased carve size of the Dread's fireball
Fixed the Dreadnought damaging itself with some of it's attacks

**MISSION OVERHAUL: SALVAGE

LOCATING MINE M.U.L.E. LEGS:**
It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster but we have finally fixed the issues with locating all the legs needed to fix the Mini M.U.L.E.s. We’ve taken this opportunity to also tweak the gameplay around it to better match our original vision. Now you can interact with a broken M.U.L.E. to download the locations of it’s missing legs to your terrain scanner. No more searching high and low for that last leg.

**CONNECT FUEL CELLS TO DROP POD: **
Update 32 came with a bunch of new tech that we were more than happy to add to existing missions. Exactly how the fuel made it from the fuel cells to the drop pod has always been a bit of a mystery, but not any more! Now in just a few easy steps you can connect a fuel-line between the two, similar to how you build pipelines in the On Site Refining mission.

MISSION OVERHAUL: POINT EXTRACTION
----------------------------
After the release of Update 32 with its shiny new machines, the old Minehead really began to show its age, so we decided it’s about time for an update of the model to match the raised standard. We hope you like it.

**NEW ENEMIES

MACTERA TRI-JAW**
A new type of Mactera has been spotted in the depths. More cautious than its brethren, the Tri-Jaw tends to hang further back while delivering a triple barrage of projectiles. Make no mistake, it is a deadly thing, and should be exterminated with extreme prejudice.

MACTERA BRUNDLE
Reports have been coming in of an armoured Mactera variant spotted flying in the swarm. These tough cookies can survive many attacks that would outright kill their more fragile cousins and they keep their vulnerable abdomens covered most of the time.

DEEPTORA BOUGH WASP
A distant cousin of the Deeptora has been spotted living in the folds and nooks of the Hollow Bough. Like their sand-dwelling cousins, the Bough Wasps are extremely territorial and will swarm any intruder that stray too close to their nest.

STABBER VINE
Hollow Bough is full of creepy stuff but none is as dangerous as the Stabber Vine. Plant or animal, the jury is still out on this one, it is very aggressive and persistent in it’s assault. Any dwarf foolish enough to stray too close will be repeatedly attacked by it’s stabbing vines. Keep your eyes peeled for it’s tell-tale spike as most of its body is difficult to distinguish from the mass of the relatively harmless red vines that infest the area.

NEW JUKEBOX CONTENT
----------------------------
Some content creators have experienced copyright claims from music in the jukebox. So far we have tried to spot fix the problem by removing tunes that caused this problem, but now we have a better solution. We have produced 8 new “safe” tracks which are the only ones you will hear when you tick off STREAMER MODE: DISABLE COPYRIGHTED JUKEBOX MUSIC in the option menu. Those 8 tunes are of course also available to everyone in the “normal” Jukebox. This solution has also enabled us to bring back previously removed tunes.

Furthermore we have added a bunch of new dance moves. So it’s time to kill it on the dance floor!

STEAM AWARD AWARD HELMET
----------------------------
In celebration of our Steam Award nomination and our amazing community that made it possible, we would like to present to you a fancy new helmet: The Horned Marauder. Just because you deserve it!

OVERHAUL OF MINERAL TRADE
----------------------------
The Mineral Trade menu was deemed ready for an update by management. It’s now more intuitive than ever and daily deals have been added. Once per day you can now benefit from an extra good deal (as in, not so bad deal!)l.

M.U.L.E. DOCKING
----------------------------
Some long overdue polish on the docking of the M.U.L.E. is coming. No more jittery flapping about, Molly now has her own spot on the Drop Pod with a fancy electro-magnetic crane for loading and unloading.

SAVE DORETTA
----------------------------
Since almost the first test of the Escort Mission on our experimental branch players have been requesting for a way to save Doretta. It’s something many here at GSG have wanted as well and we are happy to announce that you no longer have to leave Doretta all alone in the dark. While it is not viable to return the bulk of the Drilldozer back to the Space Rig, kind dwarves can now grab Doretta’s head and carry it with them to the escape pod.

Don’t expect any reward! Management really doesn't care!

WEAPON BALANCING
----------------------------
Nothing this update as we have been too busy making the two new biomes and new enemies to do any meaningful weapon balancing.

COMMUNITY REQUEST
----------------------------
[COMMUNITY REQUEST] You can now select audio output source and input source separately in-game
[COMMUNITY REQUEST] Games with Friends can now be sorted in the Server List

**UPDATE 34: MODEST EXPECTATIONS
**
Hello, Miners!
We’re back with a modest update for you! Work is proceeding apace for the longer-term goals included in the upcoming Update 35, but with Update 34 we want to sweeten the long waiting time a bit. We got new Elite Enemies for you, the possibility of double Warnings on missions, two brand new Warnings to add to the mix, a lot of weapon tweaks, and more to keep you busy! It’s time to dive back into the depths of Hoxxes and face the new dangers!

With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

--- PATCH NOTES ---

ELITE ENEMIES

Elite enemies are tougher, faster, more dangerous versions of the standard bugs that you already know and love (to kill). They have a small chance of appearing in regular missions at Hazard Level 3 and above, so consider it a special occasion when you encounter one!

NEW WARNINGS

New dangers have been discovered in the caves!

ELITE THREAT
Missions with this Warning will have a sure-fire chance of you encountering elite enemies.

SWARMAGEDDON
A tsunami of swarmers awaits you in the mines. Bring plenty of pesticide and bullets!

DOUBLE WARNINGS - DOUBLE THE FUN

An innovation committee assigned by management has tried to answer the following question: ‘What novel and unique new initiatives can we introduce to boost company profit?’ After many ideation sessions, workshops, and off-sites, they finally have the answer: Missions with two warnings instead of one!

Gather a team of fellow miners and try your hand at this extreme challenge. Prove that you are the toughest among all miners and that you eat regular Single Warning missions for breakfast. Rock and Stone!
NB! Missions with double warnings are deemed so challenging that they have been excluded from Deep Dives and Assignments.

CONTROLLER MAPPING

Are you frustrated with the current controller bindings? Do you feel that your mining performance could improve if you could just map the actions differently? Do you want more from your controller experience? Have we got some news for you! With the new option to rebind actions on your controller, you can finally get the unique layout that is just right for you.

IMPROVED BULLET TRACING

How shooting is handled in terms of networking has been remarkably optimized. The result should be a more instantaneous response when firing projectiles. And projectiles now use much less bandwidth!

SAVE GAME PROFILES

Now you have the option to manage different save game profiles if you’re playing with mods (or for any other reason of your choosing) so you can have a separate save for messing around. This feature was originally planned as a part of a larger modding support solution for this update, but we decided to postpone it and release it separately later. We are planning a more comprehensive and improved solution for letting mods into the main game and we will reveal more details as this project progresses. Stay tuned!

Note: We discovered an issue with the save game profile feature right before launch, we have disabled the feature for now but will enable it as soon as we introduce a hotfix for this.

UPDATE 34: Hotfix 1

Hello Miners!
We have fixed some crashes related to joining games, as well as some other nice fixes before the weekend.

Add "-dx11" to the launch options by right-clicking the game in your Steam Library > Properties > Set Launch Options

With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

true minnow Apr 29, 2021, 12:28 PM

**UPDATE 34: Hotfix 3 + Elite Plans & Changes **

Hello Miners!

With Update 34 we introduced a new enemy modification system that allows us to change some of the base properties of an enemy such as movement speed, health and damage resistances. With this we created the Elite variants of many of the foes you can encounter in the caves of Hoxxes. These Elite enemies are mainly encountered when playing missions with the Elite Threat warning but can also occasionally appear in the base game as well.

Since their introduction we have received a lot of feedback from you and we are continuously working on the system and tweaking the Elite enemies based on your feedback and our own playtests. As always, this is an ongoing and iterative process and we will continue working on this until it feels good. Your constructive feedback is an integral part of this process so thanks, and keep it up!

One of the things we have realised is that we need to more clearly communicate what we are trying to achieve with the Elite Enemies. The intention is not to create new enemy variants such as the Oppressor or the Glyphid Slasher and Guard but to instead modify the existing enemies in a way that can occasionally disrupt the flow of combat. Rest assured that we will continue to make new enemy types and variants, the elites are not intended to replace that.

Elites are designed to run with the pack and push through the players defence, or present an immediate and un-ignorable threat, or to displace the players forcing a momentary change in position and tactics. This is not possible without making them harder to kill. We want them to be the last ones standing, the bug heroes going toe to toe with the dwarves (if only for a little while). To do this they need time in which to make their presence felt.

ELITE CHANGES WITH HOTFIX 3
That said we were scaling Elite health a bit too aggressively and we have with hotfix 3 reduced the health scaling with a factor 0.2 for Hazard 4 and 5. Furthermore we have removed the Oppressor as an Elite, since we felt it didn’t really work.

ELITE CHANGES IN UPCOMING HOTFIXES
We are right now developing more ways in which we can improve Elite survivability besides just increasing health. We are looking into enhancing the strength of each Elite enemy such as unbreakable armor for Grunt Guards and Praetorians, and giving Mactera Spawn more evasiveness. Likewise we are expanding the ways in which we can modify their behaviour and attacks so that they bring a bit more to the fight while still being the same enemy at the core, and balancing the elemental resistances and temperature scaling to not break builds focused on elemental weapons and damage.

We’ll have more tweaks and changes in the upcoming hotfixes and look forward to hearing what you think. Together we forge tomorrow. Rock and Stone!

With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

pickaxe UPDATE 34 - Hotfix 4 pickaxe

Hello, Miners!
We are nearing the end of the hotfix phase for Update 34. We still have some minor issues that didn’t make it for this hotfix and as always a hotfix comes with the risk of needing a hotfix! Anyways, we got a bunch of stuff to talk about!

NEW WEAPON TEASING
With the Hotfix phase for Update 34 drawing to an end, it’s time to look towards Update 35. We are already moving full speed ahead on the new mission type, the new weapons and a lot of other stuff. And speaking of the new weapons - On our thursday stream we will show you a small teaser of one of the new weapons and which dwarf will get it, so stay tuned!

UPDATE 34 ON XBOX
We are also hard at work on bringing Update 34 to Xbox and expect it to go live on Xbox on this friday - May 7th.

MODDING SUPPORT
Work on making a solid solution for supporting mods in the game is also moving ahead, but we have no release date yet.

THE ELITES
We’ve reached a tough decision regarding the new Elite enemies:

**Elites will no longer spawn during ordinary missions, and will only be encountered during missions with the Elite Threat Warning. **

pickaxe

nitra

This actually goes right back to our initial design for the damn critters - they were originally designed just for the new Elite Threat Warning. However, on testing, we liked fighting them and we felt they made combat more interesting, so we figured we’d make them part of the main game.

We have now chosen to pivot on that. We’ve decided that they’re not up to snuff in regards to the content we usually produce, and therefore feel a bit out of place. Without anything tying the Elites to the meta, such as story and a natural presence, we feel that they are not suited for the main game in their current state.

Therefore: No more spawning of random Elites during the main game, and only during Elite Threat Warnings, as originally planned.

However, to that effect, we’ve been hard at work on improving and balancing the Elites - this should make them a more enjoyable experience across different skill levels, hazards, builds and classes. You can try all these changes out for yourself with this new Hotfix.

So will random spawning of Elites in all missions ever be a thing? Well maybe, maybe not! However, we will make more enemies and more variations to the existing enemies like we have done when we introduced the Glyphid Guard and the Glyhid Slasher as a variation to spice up the waves of Grunts. And the really good thing that has come out of us playing around with the Elites is that we have gotten a lot of new ideas for new enemies. So don’t start feeling too safe in the mines - more horrors will come your way in the future!

As always: All the feedback we get from you guys is super appreciated, and we cannot overstate our pride in having fans this dedicated.

Rock and Stone, Miners!

With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

err MODDING SUPPORT err

Hello Miners,

This is it! It’s finally happening - Modding support is here!

What started as a simple Save Game profile system turned into full-fledged modding support. We have spent the past months iterating on these features with the modding community, and it has been great to see this update come to fruition. We are excited that you’re going to have the opportunity to try out all the weird/fun/awesome/puzzling mods on display. We have much we want to tell you about this release, so let’s get right into it:

With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

--- PATCH NOTES ---

MODDING MENU

You can access all the mods from within the game through the brand-new Modding Menu. The Modding Menu is where you can easily enable and disable all of your installed mods moving forward.

We have mentioned before that we use Mod.io as a mod hosting platform. You can easily access the DRG mod.io page from within the game, and you only need to do this when subscribing and unsubscribing to mods. The game will make sure to install/uninstall those mods. And you can easily activate and deactivate mods from within the modding menu and sort the mods you have installed by name, approval category, and whether they are enabled or not.

When browsing mods, you will quickly become familiar with our three approval categories: Verified, Approved, and Sandbox. We have made detailed descriptions of these in our last Steam post and our mod.io guidelines. But here is the high-level breakdown of each category:

Verified (for Base Game) mods are QoL mods that do not impact gameplay or audio, visual mods that improve accessibility, and localized versions of in-game graphics. Mods with the types: Cosmetics, Visual, and Audio automatically default to the Verified Category if they only modify cosmetic or audio files. This is automatically detected in-game.

Approved (for Progression) mods are challenging or alternative game modes, changes to weapon stats, and mods that moderately alter gameplay elements while still retaining progression in line with the regular game.

Sandbox mods are any mod that changes rewards or mission payout, and mods that directly unlock in-game items.

It’s finally time to do that Haz 6 mission in a bathing suit with your squeaky toy hammer in place of your pickaxe. Happy mining!

SERVER TAGGING AND INFO

You can now clearly see which servers are running mods and which aren’t—no more relying on the host to put this in the title. You can also clearly see which mods a host has installed before joining.
There are also filters on the Server List that let you choose to show or hide servers that are running Approved or Sandbox mods - this means you have much better control of your server list.
You don’t need to worry about joining modded hosts by accident anymore. No more surprises and reverting to a previous save when you accidentally got a million XP from a modded game. With this update, modding should be safe, fun, and transparent.

pickaxe

STREAMLINED MOD ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION ON JOIN

While Verified mods let you play the game and join others as you regularly would, Sandbox and Approved mods come with restrictions. Approved mods require everyone in a mission to have those mods installed. Sandbox mods do as well and need you to be on a Sandbox Save Game (now made possible through Save Game Profiles).
But don’t worry, you won’t have to remember all of that. The game takes care of disabling your Approved mods when joining a host that doesn’t have those mods installed. And if you are a host with Approved or Sandbox mods installed, then the game will make sure other players have those same mods installed if they choose to join your game and it will even disabled those mods for them, when they leave. As mentioned above, they can see what mods you are running before joining you.
Sandbox is a bit different. Here you will have to disable your Sandbox mods and change back to your main save to see non-Sandbox hosts in the server list.

NATIVE BLUEPRINT SPAWNING

This feature is primarily for modders. It allows anyone modding the game better access to certain features and functionalities in DRG. If you are interested in building mods for DRG, there is already a vibrant modding community. Do you feel the cave leeches are missing sunglasses? Or that BOSCO could use a tophat? Or maybe you want to do voice lines for mission control in another language? Then it’s time to get to work on that DRG mod.

COMMUNITY REQUEST

Translation test branch: This has actually been live for a bit. If you are a community translator then you can now access a steam branch with a nightly build including newest translations from Crowdin. So you don’t have to wait for a release to see your work in-game. If you are interested in providing community translation or DRG, there is a community translator channel on our Discord with a very active community.

err23 MODDING SUPPORT - Patch 1 live now! err23

Hello Miners,

This patch includes a bunch of QoL improvements and some bug fixes for modding support. You get clearer info about what mods a host is running before joining, and we have improved the whole experience around switching to and from a Sandbox save.

We are still looking into raising the mod cap. This turned out not to be a trivial task. And, we are also evaluating if there should be an ‘optional’ tag for Approved mods that don’t require everyone in a session to have it installed. More info to come.

With love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

--- PATCH NOTES ---

Mods not packaged for the current version of the game will be disabled on game launch to prevent crashes. Mods creators can set the compatible game version on mod.io.

Pop up asking whether you want to change to a Regular Save will appear when all Sandbox mods are disabled.
You can now cancel changing to a Sandbox save when installing and enabling Sandbox mods. Cancelling will automatically disable all Sandbox mods.
Players on Sandbox saves can now see all other public servers in the Regular and Deep Dive Server list.
Players on Sandbox saves joining Regular or Approved modded games will be prompted to change to a Regular save and their mods will be disabled on join.
Changed text from 'Modded Save Game' to 'Sandbox Save'
Prevented some illegal characters in save game names to prevent save game corruption.
Added code to ensure that main saves can not be Sandbox saves. (Note: Changing names and/or info manually on files in the Save Games folder can cause this to break and can irreversibly corrupt your save).
Added enable/disable all functionality to the Modding Menu.
Added Cancel button in the Modding Menu to cancel enabling/disabling mods.
Added ‘Show Only Modded Servers’ filter to the Server List.
Added icons when joining a Modded server that show which mods are being downloaded and which you already have installed.
Added that Approval Categories for mods are shown in Join Dialog and Sever List tooltip.
Added mod info when hovering over mod name in Joining Dialog for Modded Servers.

Mods with one or more dependencies now get automatically disabled if the mod(s) they depend on are not enabled or not installed.
Added a small tooltip on the Moddin Menu, when a mod cannot be enabled because of a missing dependency.
Fixed a bug that caused dependencies to not enable/disable properly on join and leave.

SEASON 01: RIVAL INCURSION

Hello Miners,

We are proud to announce our BIGGEST update thus far - Season 01: Rival Incursion. Yes, that’s right - we are, for now, moving to do themed seasons instead of just updates. Season 01 includes four new primary weapons, a new challenging boss-fight mission, and our take on a 100% FREE battle pass called a Performance Pass that will reward you with a truckload of new unique cosmetics during Season 01.

Read the patch notes below for all the juicy details and then head over to the FAQ (https://www.deeprockgalactic.com/season01-faq) for answers to all of your questions regarding Seasons and Performance Pass.

With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

--- PATCH NOTES ---

URGENT COMPANY BRIEFING
Alright, Miners - listen up! We have confirmation: We are no longer alone out here.

A month or so ago, our deepscans started picking up energy signatures massing on the outer edge of the system. Within a week, automated scout ships penetrated the upper atmosphere of Hoxxes IV and started taking readings. Soon after, they started sending down supplies and construction materials - hectotons of it, across dozens of shuttles. Now, we are seeing full-fledged data collecting facilities being raised down in the caves - OUR caves.

In short, our dominion over Hoxxes is no longer total. Someone else is moving in on company territory.

Deep Rock Galactic

Season 01 FAQ — Deep Rock Galactic

NEW CONCEPT: SEASONS

With the introduction of a themed Season, several of the new features will only last in their current form while the season is running. Season 01 is currently expected to last for 4 to 5 months, so everybody will get a chance to experience the content. When the season ends, each of the season-related features will change somewhat, but never be truly gone.

Season Terminal
In the Space Rig, you will now find a new terminal aptly named the Season Terminal. This is where you can read Management’s all-hands briefing on the recent event, hand in your season-related loot, track your progression in the Performance Pass, and claim your rewards.

Towards the end of the Season, and probably a month in advance, a countdown will be displayed in the Season Terminal, so the end of the season will be known to all. This will also signal the start of the next season.

SEASON 01: PERFORMANCE PASS

In light of this rival incursion, Management has begun a brand-new incentive program to distinguish our most dedicated employees. This is called the Performance Pass and it’s Deep Rock Galactic’s take on a 100% free Battle Pass. Season 01 brings you 100 levels of unlocks, challenges to complete, and bonuses to collect - all completely free.

Performance Points and Season Challenges
Earning Performance Points is how you advance through Season 01’s 100 levels. You earn these simply by completing missions, alongside hefty bonuses paid out for completing Season Challenges.

Your current Season Challenges can be tracked and managed in the Season Terminal. You can at most have three active Challenges at a time, and you will get a new Challenge each day. Most of the Challenges will be completed alongside your regular work in the mines, but one of them requires handing in the hard-to-get Data Rack, which can be obtained by completing the new mission, Industrial Sabotage.

Furthermore, during missions, you may recover Data Cells for even further bonuses. Do so by chasing down a Rival Prospector Drone and destroying it - or find a rival Data Deposit, hack it, and recover the Data Cell inside.

Company Scrips and Cosmetic Tree
Some Season levels grant you rewards directly, while others grant you Scrips. Scrips are Company Credit tokens that let you unlock a single field of your choice on the new and poetically named Cosmetic Tree.

The Season Level rewards and the Cosmetic Tree are packed with brand new Beards, Helmets, Pickaxe Parts, Paintjobs, satchels of Crafting Materials, and fat stacks of cold, hard cash - and to top it off, a brand new Weapon Framework for every gun available.

At Season End
The Performance Pass and the claimable rewards will be available while Season 01 is running. Afterward, any unclaimed cosmetics rewards will go back into the game as random rewards and other yet-to-be-implemented features for the future.

SEASON 01: NEW MISSION “INDUSTRIAL SABOTAGE”

A number of mysterious prospecting facilities have recently been discovered on Hoxxes! The operations appear to be fully automated, and we do not yet know who is behind the incursion. The presence of a Rival Company on Hoxxes is unacceptable.

To complete this dangerous mission, you must locate the rival corporation’s towering Data Vaults, hack the connected Power Stations to take down the impenetrable Force Fields, and face off against the terrifying Caretaker and its minions before making off with the ultimate prize: The rival corp’s encrypted Data Rack!

Before Management lets you loose against our prospecting rivals, you need to prove yourself ready by completing the new assignment, SPEC OPS: SABOTAGE TRAINING. This assignment will be available for any miner that has completed the CONQUER HOXXES assignment. Furthermore, Management advises you to familiarize yourself with the mission details in the Miner’s Manual section before descending into the darkness.

At Season End
During Season 01, this new Industrial Sabotage mission will always be available on the Mission Map. When Season 01 comes to an end, the mission will likely be much less frequent and integrated into the game in a different way.

SEASON 01: NEW MISSION EVENTS

During regular missions, you may encounter the Rival Prospector Drone. The rival company is obviously trying to aggressively expand its operations. You must destroy these drones on sight, and collect their Data Cells.

While exploring the caves, you should also lookout for any Data Deposits left behind by the rival company. Get in close, hack the deposit with your new Hacking Device, and recover the Data Cell inside.

Please make sure to bring back the Data Cells from these encounters, and hand them in at the Season Terminal for a quick Company Scrip bonus. The Data Cells also provide you with a Performance Point bonus, so it doubles up!

At Season End
These new mission events will be active while Season 01 is running, and they will be somewhat frequent. Afterward, they will be much less frequent or even removed.

NEW WEAPONS

To help with the fight against this new lethal threat, Management has approved four new Weapon Contracts - which of course includes a full slew of Gear Modifications to buy, and 26 brand new Overclocks to find and unlock. You can get licensed for all four in the usual manner at the Assignment Board, but given the highly advanced nature of these new weapons, you will need to have attained Level 20 for the respective class.

ENGINEER: LOK-1 SMART RIFLE
Take a standard, high-grade assault rifle, bolt a semi-sentient AI Core to the side of it, and rig it up with several sophisticated tracking packages. Arm the resulting abomination with prototype rounds that interface directly with the onboard systems, and you have the aptly named LOK-1 Smart Rifle - a glorious bit of kit any Engineer worth their salt would be happy carrying.

DRILLER: CORROSIVE SLUDGE PUMP
The Corrosive Sludge Pump is what happens when the maintenance staff is left with too much time on their hands. A complicated network of piping, distillation bottles, and safety valves results in a very capable device indeed - lobbing globs of corrosive waste at those you disapprove of has never been so fun!

SCOUT: DRAK-25 PLASMA CARBINE
The DRAK-25 is among the newest additions to the DRG arsenal and is a bit of a technological marvel. Capable of laying down a blistering hail of superheated plasma without hardly ever blowing up in your hands, and comparatively cheap to manufacture! Management was quick to approve and sign off on this design.

GUNNER: “HURRICANE” GUIDED ROCKET SYSTEM
The Hurricane has quickly gotten a reputation for being a very crowd-pleasing weapon - unless we're talking about the crowd it is being aimed at. It stows a weapons package usually reserved for heavy-duty tripods into something a hearty dwarf can carry with ease and has even been upgraded with sophisticated tracking software.

NEW ENEMIES: RIVAL TECH

The Rival operations are fully automated and fiercely defended by a variety of robotic entities. Reports have confirmed that they are susceptible to small-arms fire but are quite resilient. R&D recommends targeting the less robust vent areas, identifiable by a bright orange glow.

PATROL BOT
The Patrol Bot is a defensive robot from a Rival Company, with versatile traversal options in combat, covering both ground and air. It shoots a plasma laser from the particle accelerator placed inside its "head" - which is also more vulnerable due to the many vents. Its synthetic exterior makes this a durable, tough enemy, but the firewall protecting its AI software is easy to bypass, making it a perfect target for your state-of-the-art Hacking Device.

SHREDDER
The Shredders are small flying robots, that travel in packs and roam Rival Prospecting Facilities looking for intruders. A lone Shredder poses little danger, but together they can shred a dwarf to shreds in shreconds!

CARETAKER
R&D reports sightings of these giant structures above our new Rival's data vaults, hidden behind a giant impenetrable shield. The few miners who have returned alive report that the structure is the Facility Caretaker, an extremely dangerous machine that furiously protects the valuable data hidden underneath it. Bring your strongest arsenal for this beast!

BURST TURRET
The Burst Turret is protected by an impenetrable barrier, and lies in wait for intruders. They're set up around Rival Prospecting Facilities to protect the Power Stations that keep the shield around the vault intact. Once its sensors pick up intruder movement, it will lower its barriers and attack!

SNIPER TURRET
The Sniper Turret protects the Power Stations that keep the shield around the Data Vault intact. Once an intruder enters a room with a Power Station, these turrets will immediately set their sights on their target, and shoot them with a powerful plasma laser shot.

REPULSION TURRET
The Repulsion Turret emits a barrage of Plasma Force Fields, which apply an extreme amount of force to anything it comes into contact with. Although completely immobile, the turret is protected by a barrier when inactive, and the huge amount of Plasma Force Fields it emits can't be shot through.

PROSPECTOR DRONE
A Prospector Drone sent by a Rival Company and programmed for curiosity and thorough work, it researches every nook and cranny around areas of Hoxxes for mining potential. If attacked, it will call for help from its fellow drones, and flee to avoid its precious data being lost in the depths.

NEW MISSION EQUIPMENT: HACKING DEVICE

R&D has been hard at work cracking the rival robots. You now have a handheld hacking device that will let you hack rival patrol bots and make them fight for you. The hacking device will be active when in close proximity to a hackable robot.

NEW COSMETIC DLC: RIVAL TECH PACK

To commemorate the release of Season 01, we will also be releasing a new DLC Pack - aptly named “RIVAL TECH”. The Rival Tech Pack will let you deck out all your guns in theme with our new enemies - no reason to let all those nice bits go to waste, after all!

On top of the set of new unique Weapon Frameworks for all your weapons, the pack comes with a matching Paintjob for your Armors, as well as a Rival Tech Paintjob for all other weapons and your favorite Pickaxe.

NEW FRAMEWORKS FOR THE NEW WEAPONS

A full set of 24 new framework variations for the four new weapons have been added to the pool of items you can find in the Cargo Crates. Also, if you own the MegaCorp DLC, you will get 4 new framework variations added automatically.

[COMMUNITY REQUESTS]

MORE LOADOUT SLOTS
The update, of course, also includes all the usual under-the-hood improvements and additions - and yes, we heard you, that also means a few more Loadout Slots for you to toy around with! We have added two more Loadout Slots for a total of five. We trust you will spend them wisely.

CALLING THE M.U.L.E. 2.0
When calling Molly, if she isn’t present on the mission, the dwarves will have unique shouts to let you know she is not there. There will also be unique shouts for when Molly is on the way to the Drop Pod.

We have also added an icon next to the portrait of the player who’s calling for the M.U.L.E.

POWER DRILLS WITH ANGLOMETER
We got inspired looking through the community-made mods, and have added an anglometer to the Reinforced Power Drills crosshair.

ENABLED VR PLUGINS
Speaking of modding, we have enabled the SteamVR and OculusVR plugins to allow modders to play with them. Have fun!

SEASON 02: RIVAL ESCALATION

Hello Miners,

As the title implies, our Rivals are still going strong in their efforts to disrupt our mining operations - and in fact, they are escalating their efforts! But what does that mean for you, the loyal employees of Deep Rock Galactic? Read on to find out!

With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

--- PATCH NOTES ---

SEASON EVENT: RIVAL SIGNAL

Rivals are setting up new communications equipment, which must be shut down! In the all-new RIVAL SIGNAL Season Event, you must interrupt the operation of the Rival Communications Router, hack its Antenna Nodes and shut it down before the timer runs out and the entire thing discharges a lethal energy blast! Timing and precision will be of the essence if you want to obtain the Data Cell stored inside the Router!

NEW WARNING: RIVAL PRESENCE

Hordes of Rival robots are clustering in the caves, seemingly just waiting to spring on anything carrying the DRG insignia. Some will likely see this as a welcome distraction from the usual teeth and claws of the Glyphids, but Management still doesn’t recommend underestimating these cybertronic abominations.

NEW ENEMY: RIVAL NEMESIS

ScanCom has been picking up new readings in the caves, and disturbing rumors have started trickling in from the surface. Our Rivals have unleashed something down there, something specifically designed to lure you in, hunt you down, and terminate you with extreme prejudice. Beware, Miners - the Rival Nemesis is on the prowl.

NEW PERFORMANCE PASS

By popular request we have roughly doubled the amount of Season Event Bonuses to collect by completing the various Season Events down in the caves! Bonuses for everyone!

Also, we’ve added a brand new Season Challenge, where you have to complete missions with the RIVAL PRESENCE WARNING, paying out phat stacks of Performance Points and precious Scrip.

All of that of course results in rewards - both from simply gaining levels in the Performance Pass, as well as spending Scrip in the Cosmetic Tree. We got some good stuff for you - Resource Caches, Beards, Paintjobs, Helmets, and yet another full set of Weapon Frameworks for all guns.

As always all elements of the Performance Pass are completely free and any rewards you were unable to claim in the previous season can be found in Cargo Crates, Lost Packs, Cosmetic Cores, and The Shop.

NEW SECONDARY WEAPONS

NISHANKA BOLTSHARK X-80
The Scout has picked up this extremely versatile crossbow designed for large game, built especially to fire a wide selection of projectiles. Acid-bolts, electric bolts, fire bolts, triple bolts, you name it. It is time to go hunting.

SHARD DIFFRACTOR
Meanwhile, the Engineer has come up with the SHARD DIFFRACTOR. To keep it from detonating like a thousand pounds of TNT, the thing is limited to short, controlled bursts - but don’t let that depress you: It’s powered by a 12-pound chunk of Ommoran Heartstone, and is able to vomit forth beams of raw energy as thick as your leg, reducing anything in its path to a mound of cinders.

ARMSKORE COIL GUN
The Gunner gets the ARMSKORE COIL GUN - a hand-carryable, fully-fledged electromagnetic accelerator. It fires solid tungsten spheres with enough force to punch clean through solid rock. The only limit to this pocket-sized war crime is the battery pack - which is sizable.

COLETTE WAVE COOKER
And finally, the Driller has been given the COLETTE WAVE COOKER. An ingenious mix of lab equipment and kitchen utensil, the Wave Cooker does exactly what its name implies: Point it at something organic, and watch it cook from the inside out until it bursts in a gout of viscous fluids. Recipe book not included.

PHAZYONITE

From now on, you can choose to pay for Cosmetics with Phazyonite instead of Credits and Minerals, in case you are saving up for specific upgrades.

Phazyonite can be found in the caves of Hoxxes as you go, and you will also earn it from the newly implemented Cosmetic Mastery system in the Shop.

How does that work? Simple: Increase your Cosmetic Mastery by buying stuff.

And not to worry, shoppers - the system will work retroactively. Everything you’ve already bought will be counted towards your Cosmetic Mastery progression.

Our goal is for players to buy cosmetics without sacrificing beer, upgrades and promotions. We hope it helps, especially with many of the previous season’s cosmetics landing in the shop. We have no plans for monetizing this in any way.

A-B CHOICE ON FORGE MASTERY REWARDS

Previously, Forge Mastery granted completely random Infused Matrix Cores. Now, you’ll be given a choice - two Character Classes are picked at random, you pick which of them get the Core. Some choice is better than no choice, as they say.

MEDICAL GOWN

For those dwarves returning unsuccessfully from missions, we have finally received a shipment of medical gowns. For the sake of overall morale and sanity, we urge all employees to keep their underwear on when waking up in one of these.

WEAPON BALANCE

CORROSIVE SLUDGE PUMP

Increased the base fire rate

Loadouts for Server Mods:
The Modding menu now has 4 load-outs where you can save lists of installed mods, in order to quickly enable different mod configurations. You save a loadout by clicking the checkbox next to the mods the same way you would if you wanted to enable them, clicking on the loadout you want to save to, and clicking save. You enable a loadouts modlist by clicking a loadout where a list is saved and clicking load.
Optional/Required by all tags for Server Mods:
Mods can now be tagged as either optional or Requiredbyall on mod.io.Optional tag if for mods that only need to be installed and enabled by the server's host in order to work.
RequiredByAll tag is for a mod that requires all players to have the mod enabled and installed in order for it to work.
Untagged mods are by default Optional.
-Mods tagged with RequiredByAll will be installed and enabled on join - like it has worked until now.
-Mods tagged with Optional will be listed on join, but will not be installed on join unless you opt to do so by clicking the X on the mod.

MISC.

Taking down Rival operations is paramount and so management has increased the payout for Industrial Sabotage missions.
