Deep Rock Galactic (DRG) Survivor Guide – Tips for Beginners

  1. Unlock all classes – to do that you have to play and complete missions to level up your Player Rank. Read more about it here.
  2. Weapon to unlock first – as your first pick we recommend Zhukov Nuki7. This weapon is able to hit multiple opponents from all directions, which makes it quite easy to take care of initial swarms.
  3. Weapon to unlock second – as your second gun, pick M1000 Classic. This gun is like a sniper rifle. It targets the most dangerous opponent in the vicinity and deals a lot of damage. It is ideal to quickly eliminate bosses.
  4. Kill bosses as soon as possible – after the appearance of the boss, enemies will become more and more dangerous and numerous as the fight prolongs. If you are not quick enough, you may kill the main adversary, but you will not be able to extract due to number of smaller bugs.
  5. Upgrades to pick – always remember to pick the rarest ones, but prioritize reload/fire rate, dwarf speed and digging speed. What is more choose the weapon you depend on the most.
  6. Digging is a good way to run away – you will be often surrounded by enemies. However, in most cases you may save yourself by digging tunnels in the rocks. Prioritize those without resources, as they are easy to break.
  7. Gather resources – during runs you will be able to find various resources. Gold and Nitra (red mineral) are used to progress your Dwarf between dives, but special materials can be used to permanently upgrade your characters between runs.
  8. Get Supply Beacon – at some point a supply beacon appears on the map. To use it you have to remove all rocks in the vicinity and stay nearby for some time. As a reward, a supply crate will drop, which will grand you an artefact. A good idea is to pick the one which heals you more after level up.
  9. Do side quests – they are in the top right corner of the screen, by completing them, you will be boosted with some useful resources.
  10. Collect red crystals – they will replenish your HP a little bit, so it is a good idea to look for them.
  11. Check the map as soon as possible – you have to move a lot to survive in DRG Survivor. It is useful to discover and memorize as much of the map as possible. It will make your life easier when the number of enemies will be enormous.
