Update 15: Mutation Warning!
Deep Rock Galactic - GSG Community



Hello Miners!
Before we head out for a couple of weeks of sorely needed summer vacation, we have cooked up a lovely little mutation to the game for you all!

Also, Steam Summer Sale is still active for a few more days, so remind your friends that now is the chance to get onboard!

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!

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
•   Increased the sprint speed bonus of the Weekend Athlete perk.
•   Rank 3 Field Medic Perk will send nearby Glyphids fleeing when you finish reviving a teammate.
•   Rank 5 Resupplier Perk will auto-reload all your weapons when you resupply.
•   Fixed grammar and typos on several Perks and Milestones.
•   Red Sugar Rocks: Max rank will give you a 20% speed boost for ten secs.

Our Steam Game Developer Page

As you may have seen, Steam has launched a beta of Game Dev and Publisher pages here on Steam. We have also created a page, where you can see which products we have available. Also, there is a link to our social media pages. We would love to expand our followers there as well, so if you want to, please follow the link below and follow our Steam Game Developer page :)

https://store.steampowered.com/developer/ghostshipgames/

Community Streaming

It is possible to let streamers stream to our store page, and we have seen that Shibby -
- had quite a success on our store page. So if you are a Streamer, and want to restream to our store page, please contact the community manager in our Discord Server - discord.gg/drg :)

Summer Vacation Time

Summer is upon us, and that means we are also going on summer vacation. So we will be a bit less active in our different forums, social media etc.
Also, we are moving to new offices in August, due to we have grown in team size. We need more SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!
We will slowly be more active in August, and at full speed in September!

Until then there is only one thing to say:
ROCK AND STONE!

UPDATE 16: WINTER HAS COME!
Deep Rock Galactic - Deep Rock Galactic



Hello miners! We’re back in the saddle after some lovely summer vacation and have cranked out a new patch for you. In response to all the hot weather we’ve been having, we figured the obvious thing to do was add an ice biome. Right?

--- PATCH NOTES ---

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...

•   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.
•   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.
•   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.
•   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…
•   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.
•   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...
•   See what your friends are playing and join their game directly from Discord.
•   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.
•   Tons of new voice lines added.
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.

Changelists from Experimental Builds
•   Build 17177: https://steamcommunity.com/app/548430/discussions/9/1736588252375509806/

UPDATE 18: JOB OPPORTUNITIES
Deep Rock Galactic - Deep Rock Galactic



Howdy Miners!
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 (planned for Update 19) 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.

You can join any missions on the server list, regardless of completion of the Probationary Period. 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 and missions.

*** ATTENTION VETERAN MINERS! ***
Players who have played the game before will get an option to skip the Probationary Period from The Assignment Board terminal.

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)
POINT EXTRACTION
•   Added a Medium Length (Collect 7 Aquarq). This will also be part of the Probationary Period Assignment
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
Buffs have been added to some of the beers and prices have been adjusted, so beers with buffs costs quite a bit more than those without buffs.
•   RED ROCK BLASTER: +30% to max health
•   SKULLCRUSHER ALE: +50% Pickaxe damage
•   DARK MORKITE: +20% Morkite mined
•   GLYPHID SLAMMER: A new none-buff beer, but it will still make you happy :-)
•   Beers with buffs have been given a lower potency effect, so you can drink one without getting drunk. This is done to prevent you from always having to drink the Leaf Lover’s Special if you don’t want to play with the drunk effect on.

Note that Buffs will remain after drinking Leaf Lover’s Special. And also note that Buffs won’t stack. Also-also note that beers have some randomness in how hard they affect you.

As always, we will monitor both in-game metrics and your reactions to further iterate on the effect of Beers.

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.

FIXES AND IMPROVEMENTS
•   New dance move when listening to the jukebox.
•   Zip-line fix. Now clients also get forward momentum when jumping off the zip-line.
•   Save files are not overwritten if there is no connection to steam
•   Third person flamethrower gunsling added
•   Fix recoil. It was added before the shot was fired, so you could never be fully accurate.
•   Fix a case where clients are unable to load the map. Resulting in stuck on loading screen.
•   Detect chunks and gems falling out of the world and beam them back
•   SpaceRig - No more blue light in drop pod when launching a mission
•   Oktoberfest banner changed
•   Savegame: Players can no longer gain extra XP above the cap
•   Added mission stats: Total beverages consumed & Total beverage round ordered
•   Fullscreen mode is now handled correctly and does not reset in between sessions.
•   Sun added behind Planet Hoxxes in Spacerig. Planet model slightly updated as well.
•   Clients can now open the mission map while in a hosted game

Changelists from Experimental builds
•   Build 19077: https://steamcommunity.com/app/548430/discussions/9/1732089092446718553/
•   Build 19148: https://steamcommunity.com/app/548430/discussions/9/1732089092458558333/
•   Build 19236: https://steamcommunity.com/app/548430/discussions/9/1732089092458558333/
•   Build 19278: https://steamcommunity.com/app/548430/discussions/9/1736593325992021158/

Restructure of News, Blog and Reveals Subforum

We have tried not to make too many announcements here on Steam, in order to make sure that you don't feel like we are spamming you.

But we have heard that you really want to follow what we are doing! So we have made a subforum named News, Blog and Reveals, which you can subscribe to. In that subforum, we are posting news and smaller updates on the development, so if you subscribe you get notified :)

Link for the subforum: https://steamcommunity.com/app/548430/discussions/10/

UPDATE 18.5: HALLOWEEN
Deep Rock Galactic - Deep Rock Galactic
 


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!
•   Limited sale of Pumpkin Helmets! Boo muhahaha!!!!
•   Banner in Abyss Bar and moody lighting.

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
•   Fixed crash when failing Salvage mission during fuel pod stage
•   Fix for damage indicator could get stuck on the screen
•   Fixed some minor issues in Magma Quake
•   Graphics Settings: Disabling fullscreen restore to prevent mouse issue and not being able to click continue into the game
•   Fix case of clients cant load on join
•   Fix scout IFG slowdown, was incorrectly set to only 30% slowdown, reset to 75%
•   Lootbug drop nerfed. Used to drop 15-25 value gold and Nitra - now drops 5-15.
•   Fixed Eliminations mission not always spawning enough cocoons. Dreadnought cocoon now carves a space for itself and has less strict spawn requirements
•   Fix for cursor disappearing on campaign reward window.

Changelists from Experimental Builds:
•   Build 19577 - https://steamcommunity.com/app/548430/discussions/9/1735468061777214413/
•   Build 19663 -
https://steamcommunity.com/app/548430/discussions/9/1736594593594806756/

Roadmap Update - April 2019
5 Apr @ 2:45pm - GSG_Jacob   




Attention, Miners!

Due to glyphid swarmers in the machinery, the roadmap update has landed a little later than usual, but boy oh boy is it a good one. First of all, Update 24 will arrive early May instead of April, due to the Easter holiday in Denmark. Contentwise, for update 24 we’ll be getting a bit handsy. We are introducing no less than [REDACTED] new grenade types - not the big one we teased on Twitter, but we’re confident that everyone will be happy with their new throwable ordnance. Also, you want more swing in your pickaxe? There’s a mod for that!

With new things to throw at the enemy, we’re also giving you more to throw at. In Update 24 new creatures that go bump in the night will show up on Hoxxes IV and if you have been following us on social media, you might recognize a few.

We weren’t completely satisfied with the anticlimactic way missions were ending, so we are revamping the end screen to make it feel more… victorious if you make it out alive. Those left behind might not feel the same.

Some of you may have noticed that we are adding Steam Achievements (Yes, we did see the spreadsheet tracking it on Reddit). However, since we have a lot of Achievements coming up, they will not make it into Update 24. We’d rather do some more work on them and listen to suggestions and feedback, before letting them out into the wild. Please leave a comment on this post, on the subreddit or on the Discord if you have suggestions for cool achievements.

In regards to future updates, we’ve begun to look at the endgame of Deep Rock Galactic. Our vision is to keep you engaged and rewarded past the first promotion of your dwarves, whether it’s adventures, useful upgrades, equipment, or overall challenge. The endgame will tie into the Daily Adventures mentioned on the roadmap, but with the significant change that it won’t be daily and we will change the name of Daily Adventures to reflect this (once we come up with something fitting).

Community Update - May
1 May @ 6:18pm - GSG_Jacob   


Attention Miners!
Welcome to the second Deep Rock Galactic community update! First and foremost, we hope you have been enjoying going face to face with the Horrors of Hoxxes in Update 23. It’s been great to see all the positive feedback, and we’re looking forward to hearing what you think of the next big update. In regards to the release of Update 24, we are pushing the release back a little bit, to be able to finetune and polish the new content some more. We are confident that the update will land May 15 - remember to check back in due time for the experimental release.

Fan Art
We’re still blown away by all the amazing fan art that the community keeps pumping out, and below you’ll find a small selection from our different channels.

Drilling in the dark
This first moody Driller piece comes from DIwii on Discord.


Karlburster
Discord user Grimjak went above and beyond merging DRG with Alien, one of the big inspirations.


Leave no dwarf behind
This black and white piece from Discord user Lesolan turned out great.


Cotton Eye Karl



Why would you even...
Reddit user JoeDuncan made an enemy suggestion that’s too good not to share. It’s aptly named “Brood Nexus Warden Bulk Bearded than you Grabber Detonator” because it’s all of those things.


Dwarvengers
Last, but not least, our mention of the endgame in our roadmap resulted in this great Avengers mashup from Reddit user GryphonKingBros.


Content Teasers
So what is coming in Update 24? We’ve already shown a little bit on our different channels. If you missed it, catch up below.

UPDATE 24 - EXPLOSIVE EXPANSION
15 May @ 2:52pm - GSG_Jacob   



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.


MODELS AND AUDIO
-----------------------------------
- New Heavy Sentry model for Engineers
- New Sentry models for the Minehead
- New Floodlight models for the Minehead
- Several new enemy and weapon sounds
- New Hoxxes model shown on Space Rig


GEAR TWEAKS

Roadmap Update - June 2019
7 Jun @ 3:01pm - GSG_Jacob



Listen up, Miners!
Fasten your safety harness and keep your eyes focused on the information terminal - this is going to be a long lecture.

The next update is a big one. The smart ones among you have probably already guessed it; Update 25 is all about the Endgame in Deep Rock Galactic.

What does all that mean? Well, first and foremost, the endgame will be focused on content that is primarily available once you have enough missions under your belt to promote your first dwarf. We are aware that once you get your dwarf past the first promotion, there are other and better-paying mining gigs out there, so we are setting you up for some special assignments for you to do once you reach the appropriate rank.

Be aware that this is a preliminary description of what we want to do; as this is a creative process, the design is subject to change along the way.



Deep Dives
Once your first promotion happens, we will trust you enough to grant you special privileges and access to a new mode called Deep Dives. This new mode is a set of periodical high-risk multi-objectives, that won’t give you the normal payout, but instead, award you "Batteries".

Each part of a Deep Dive will take you deeper into the bowels of Hoxxes IV, and you will have to field a full team of reliable dwarves from the very beginning to be able to make it to the end - the current personal drop pod will not be able to make it this deep (and the current budget does not allow us to upgrade their performance to this extent), so at the end of each part, we won’t be retrieving you but supplying you with a fresh pod to take you to the next and deeper part of the Deep Dive.

A Deep Dive will consist of three different missions chained together with a mix of objectives. These objectives will be similar to the main objectives you already know, except more than one will need to be completed. Example; In one mission you might have to salvage two Mini-M.U.L.Es and battle a dreadnought. Health and ammo will carry over from one Deep Dive mission to the next, so be sure to stock up on Nitra and Red Sugar before you move on.

The difficulty level on a Deep Dive will be fixed. You will not be able to bring a greenbeard to a Deep Dive. Do not attempt a Deep Dive on your own or while ill-prepared - you’ll be wasting company resources, and you don’t want that kind of attention from Management.

A new Deep Dive will appear every week. You will be able to do a Deep Dive several times, but you will only be able to reap the main rewards once. Should you fail during a Deep Dive, which we fully expect many shall, you will receive a partial reward - but the real gold is at the end of the Deep Dive, behind the hordes of vicious aliens.

Furthermore, each Deep Dive will take place in the same caves, with the same types of aliens for everyone. However, spawns will still be unpredictable, so stay alert while on a Deep Dive.

Machine Events
Using Batteries, you will be able to access Machine Events, that will randomly appear in the normal missions. You will be seeing abandoned machinery appear in some normal missions, but interacting with them will only be possible if you have Batteries. Every dwarf, even greenbeards, on the team will be able to get access to these events as long as at least one dwarf has enough Batteries to activate it, and chooses to do so.
Activating these events will add something entirely new to do, like hunting Glyphids for resources, tracking treasure or throwing explosive barrels at something big and angry.
The rewards for activating and successfully completing a Machine Event will be a craftable item Blueprint, credits, and XP.



Blueprints and Overclocks
Blueprints will give you access to a new, powerful type of weapon modification called Weapon Overclocks, that goes in their own unique slot. There will be a vast number of available overclocks for the weapons, but beware - turning up the juice might not be all it’s cracked up to be as the more powerful Weapon Overclocks comes at the cost of instability in the form of drawbacks.

Blueprints will be awarded randomly - and some might be rarer than others - but you will never be awarded the same Blueprint twice.

Blueprints will also cover new rare cosmetics, such as weapon skins and glorious beards, matching the latest dwarven trends from back home. Even Bosco might get some fancy new skins.

So when is this happening? Due to the size of the upgrade, and the upcoming summer holiday, it's going to take a bit longer than usual. We're committed to releasing Update 25 in August/September. This is a huge thing which we know you'll love.

Once again, be aware that this is a work in progress and that anything in our roadmap might change as we test and improve.



And more?
While we’ll focus on the Endgame in this update, we might add some additional small surprises to Update 25, but you’ll have to stay tuned for those.

Are we at 1.0 yet?
Not yet. As you may have noticed, we’ve shuffled the roadmap a bit. That doesn’t mean the ideas for future content we had listed have gone away for good - we just want to focus on Update 25 and commit to that. We still have a lot of content we want to make come alive in Deep Rock Galactic, and the Endgame update is not the end of that.

Hotfix 7 Balance Update
20 Jun @ 1:10pm - GSG_Jacob



Attention Miners!

While you impatiently wait for Update 25 to bring the Endgame to Hoxxes IV, we have decided to give you a little bonus hotfix. We’ve been doing more hotfixes than usual to keep you sated, and this one has a little extra something to keep you busy.

First of all, we have given the gunner a little love in regards to balance, as per request from the community.

The Minigun has gotten some much-needed punch, including both base damage and adjustment of mods. The Autocannon also got an overhaul, although not as significant as the Minigun.

Other weapon tweaks are counting the Boomstick, the Auto 210b, and the Voltaic SMG.

For those of you who like to work the long nightshifts with Bosco as a helping hand, we’ve upgraded the drone algorithm, allowing him to retrieve gems and other objects from afar. However charming that is, please do not spend too much time playing fetch with company property. You’re on the clock.



Q'ronar Shellbacks have had their diet modified and their armor should now be less durable. Their Younglings should also appear less frequent. Hopefully, this will reduce the amount of deadly pinballing in the narrow caverns. The bug causing muffled sound for the entire game has also been squashed.

FULL HOTFIX 7 NOTES
-----------------------------------

•   Bosco can now dig out and carry objects!
•   Q'ronar Youngling encounters should be a bit more rare.
•   Q’ronar Shellback’s armor is significantly weaker. Most weapons will be able to break it in a few shots. Weapons with armor breaking capabilities will still excel at it.
•   Tweaked the rolling animation of the Qronar enemies to resolve unintended jerkiness
•   Changed material on the weakpoint of the Glyphid Menace, when it dies so it does not light up dead
•   Fixed a bug with sounds becoming muffled for the remainder of a mission after getting hit by a rolling Q’ronar enemy
•   Glyphid Praetorian backside is again considered a weakpoint but does not give any damage bonus on its own
•   Fixed a bug with the Mission Assignment icon not showing in the Mission Terminal
•   Fixed a bug with clients being required to open the map in order for the host to be able to see their Mission Assignment
•   Increased attenuation distance for sound and camshake when digging out eggs
•   Fixed a bug with the Terrain Scanner getting stuck
•   Fixed cases where you would switch weapons after mining and using the Terrain Scanner

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.

If you missed the previous hotfixes, here’s a highlight of the dents we’ve hammered out since the update was released.

FREE WEEKEND + SALE 35% OFF
Thu, 12 September 2019

Attention Miners!
As we’re getting very close to the launch of update 25, we want to recruit new Greenbeards to work the mines below the surface of Hoxxes IV. We’ve already passed the mark of recruiting 750.000 brave dwarven brethren, so to celebrate this we’re having a free weekend as a recruitment drive. Join Deep Rock Galactic, the most tenacious space mining corporation in the galaxy, and get your limited edition recruitment helmet, while supplies last.

SALE
During the Free Weekend and an additional couple of days, Deep Rock Galactic will be 35% off, so if you have friends that have been waiting for a reason to take the plunge, this is it. Give them a nudge. The Free Weekend runs until September 16, 5PM UTC. The sale ends September 18, 5PM UTC.



YOU GET A HAT!
As an extra bonus, we have something special for everyone taking part of the free weekend. For this limited time only, we’ll have a special, handcrafted, hot-off-the-forge helmet available in the nearest Accessory terminal (it’s the first one you see when you exit the personal pods). Remember that this is only available during the Free Weekend, so you’ll have to go grab it in the Accessory Shop, or you’ll miss it.

COMING UP
If you join Deep Rock Galactic this weekend, you can look forward to the upcoming release of Update 25, which will feature Deep Dives - a new endgame mode for seasoned, promoted dwarves. Additionally, Deep Dives will grant access to new powerful weapon overclocks and new, glorious beards, helmets and other cosmetic items.

For a full teaser of Update 25, watch this video.




Update 25 is slated for release later this September.

Deep Dives and Overclocks - FAQ
Wed, 25 September

Update 25 releases at 1pm CEST on the 26th September!

Hi Miners,

Thanks to everybody for the feedback, both on the Experimental build, but also in general for the expectations for Update 25. This update is by far our biggest yet, and it even grew so big that we had to chop it up into two updates. This has created some confusion, questions, and speculations on what the experience will be and specifically for how to get the Overclocks. To sort this out, we’ve created a FAQ just on the topics around Deep Dives and Overclocks.

So Update 25 is not the complete Endgame?
In short: no. It’s more like Endgame: Part 1.

Update 25 will not release with the complete system for giving out Matrix Core rewards. Specifically, it will not include Blank Matrix Cores and Machine Events, which will be part of Update 26. Therefore, the total amount of rewards for Deep Dives is a bit less until Update 26 releases.

The time from Update 25 to Update 26 should be considered a transition phase, where you’ll be able to get a feel for Deep Dives and a taste of the Overclocks. And we, the developers, can get some valuable feedback while we finish and refine the system.

How many Overclocks will I be able to get in Update 25?
Each Deep Dive (Normal and Elite) will reward you with a random Matrix Core infused with a specific weapon Overclock. On top of this, you will get a weapon Overclock for completing the Weekly Core Hunt assignment. So in total, 3 weapon Overclocks per week. On top of this, you will be able to get Matrix Cores from the Forge Mastery, so some weeks you’ll get an extra Overclock.

And to get you started, there will be a new one-time Assignment for Promoted Dwarves - called Breach the Core - that will reward you with a generous amount of infused Matrix Cores, including 3 Overclocks.

Obtainable Matrix Cores:

New One-time Assignment: Breach the Core
•   3x Infused Matrix Cores: Weapon Overclocks
•   3x Infused Matrix Cores: Cosmetics
•   Completion Unlocks Weekly Core Hunt Assignment


New Assignment: Weekly Core Hunt
•   1x Infused Matrix Core: Weapon Overclocks
•   1x Infused Matrix Core: Cosmetics


Deep Dive
•   Stage 1: 1x Infused Matrix Core: Crafting Materials
•   Stage 2: 1x Infused Matrix Core: Weapon Overclocks
•   Stage 3: 1x Infused Matrix Core: Cosmetics


Elite Deep Dive
•   Stage 1: 1x Infused Matrix Core: Crafting Materials
•   Stage 2: 1x Infused Matrix Core: Weapon Overclocks
•   Stage 3: 1x Infused Matrix Core: Cosmetics


Forge Mastery Level Reward (forge 5 Matrix Cores to increase level)
•   1x Infused Matrix Core (Either Weapon Overclock or Cosmetic)

ATTENTION: The way we reward Matrix Cores will change when we introduce Blank Matrix Cores!

So to sum it up: First week you engage with the system in Update 25, you will be able to obtain 8 WEAPON OVERCLOCKS: 3 (Breach the Core) +1 (Weekly Core hunt) + 1 (Deep Dive) + 1 (Elite Deep Dive) + 2 (From Forge Mastery if you forge everything).


Okay, so how many Overclocks will I be able to get in Update 26?
At the time of writing, 6 per week. 2 from doing Deep Dives, 1 from Core Hunt assignment, and up to 3 that you’ll be infusing yourself through doing Machine Events during normal missions.

In Update 26, we’ll introduce Blank Matrix Cores, and you will get these on top of the other rewards. We have not decided on a final amount, but it should at least double the weekly output, so in addition to your 3 Infused Matrix Cores, you’ll get at least 3 Blank Matrix cores (if you complete both Deep Dives and the Weekly Core Hunt). Furthermore, when you infuse the Blank Cores by completing a Machine Event, you’ll get some influence on the outcome. This is still in development, so we can’t say exactly how this will work yet.

How many Overclocks will there be in Update 25?
Update 25 will release with more than 90 weapon Overclocks (around 5-6 per weapon).

Will you release more Overclocks in the future?
Probably, but as always, we’ll weigh it against other features and content.

How often will the Deep Dives reset and when?
In Update 25, the two Deep Dives (Normal and Elite) will get a new seed each week (7 days), starting on the launch day (26th of September), and then the first new seeds on the following Thursday (3rd of October) and so on...

When will Update 25 and Update 26 release?
Update 25 releases on Steam on Thursday 26th of September at 1 PM CEST. And then followed by hot-fixes as needed. We hope to get it out on Xbox about two weeks later.
Update 26 does not have a release date but could be early November.

Remind me what a Matrix Core is?
Matrix Cores are basically a sort of item container. They can contain either a blueprint for a Weapon Overclock, a blueprint for a Cosmetic Item, or a hefty chunk of Resources (Crafting Materials). When you own a full, or “Infused” Matrix Core, you can go directly to the new Forge on the Space Rig and craft the reward if you have the prerequisite Crafting Materials. In Update 26, we’ll start rewarding you Blank Matrix Cores as well, which you’ll bring with you into normal missions and Infuse yourself by completing Machine Events (a new system of random events random events in normal missions, also introduced in Update 26). Infusing Matrix Cores manually is going to give you some choice in what exactly you’ll be infusing it with.

I’m still confused about Update 25 and Update 26! Help!
If you haven’t already seen it, we’ll advise you to watch the Update 25 Status Report video - most of what is said in the video is still true! You can also check the patch notes on the Experimental build. Again, they are not final but could help you find some more info.




We hope this FAQ has been able to answer most of your questions. And as always, we encourage you to discuss these things with your fellow miners (and us), on Discord, Steam, and Reddit.

Till next time,
Rock and Stone!

- The Ghost Ship Crew

UPDATE 25: ENDGAME - PART ONE
Thu, 26 September 2019



Deep Dives! Overclocks! Beard Physics!


Hello Miners,

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.

The Beginning of The Endgame
Fri, 11 October 2019

Mikkel Martin Pedersen, Game Director at Ghost Ship Games



Hello Miners, words from the Game Director's table.
Mikkel Martin Pedersen, here. Time for a little development update on Deep Rock Galactic! It’s been a crazy two weeks since the launch of Update 25, and I think you deserve a little inside information on what’s going on. But first, let me take a moment to express my gratitude for your reception towards the Deep Dives and all the other new features that arrived in the Update. Thank you from the entire Ghost Ship Crew!

Forging the Endgame

Work on what we call DRG’s Endgame has been ongoing for almost 5 months now - from core idea, to implementation, and launch. In fact, It’s always super scary to implement big new systems into a game loop that’s already been established. Update 25 was our biggest update to date, and to see it all in operation is an amazing feeling. We’ve observed how our number of concurrent users on Steam has almost doubled since we launched the update - a good sign you’re all busy completing Deep Dives and collecting Matrix Cores on a weekly basis.

And let me tell you a secret: I'm as excited as you to play the new Deep Dives every week. Like most things in the game, the Deep Dives are procedurally generated, and we are not deciding how they look or feel. That means some weeks they will be harder and some weeks will be easier - and that’s just the way we like it! The fact that the game is able to throw you a curveball once in a while, and that we allow crazy things to happen, that is such an integral part of what we believe makes DRG fun.

“The Mantra of the Curveball” is something we use for pretty much all the procedural systems in the game - from cave generation to enemy spawning, and so on. It's the magic that keeps the experience fresh and, interesting and sometimes brutally unfair, but it also lets you have those epic wins, where you make it out alive against all odds.

So yes, I’m indeed very excited to play the new Deep Dives!

Another secret I’ll let you in on, is that I haven't actually managed to complete an Elite Deep Dive yet. Elite Deep Dives (and Deep Dives in general) are built to be challenging and it is okay if you can't fully complete them...and I'm not just saying this because I haven't managed to complete it myself yet ;-).

Just try the Deep Dives out and see how far you can get, win some Matrix Cores and then if you get tired of playing the Deep Dives go and play the weekly Core Hunt instead, and obtain some Matrix Cores in your own pacing.

Another big part of Update 25 is, of course, the Weapon Overclocks. Designing and implementing those have definitely been a bit of a challenge. It’s been almost impossible for us to fully test how they’d impact the core gameplay, and we’ve been eagerly awaiting getting the update live so we could make use of all your feedback to continue tweaking and balancing all of them. And on that note, once more, thank you for all the feedback. Really. It is an incredible help for us when it comes to making Deep Rock Galactic the best game it can be. Weapons, Overclocks, Difficulty, and so many more numbers are continuing to be tweaked, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, and Update 25 has already received over 10 Hotfix patches just in the short time it’s been out.



Hotfix galore!

So what’s the deal with all these hotfixes, you might wonder? Was the game totally broken, when we released Update 25? The short answer is “no”. Slightly longer answer follows:

Update 25 was, as mentioned, a huge update - our biggest to date. It incorporated a ton of new systems, many of which are dependent on each other, and almost all of which made the game behave in new, unpredictable ways. And the simple fact is that we cannot prepare for every eventuality - that’s where the feedback from you comes in, and what helps us push these many, many rapid hotfixes.

One thing that’s become clear during our now 18 months in Early Access is this: The more time passes between each Update, the more features might end up breaking in unexpected ways, and the more time we need to get the game properly back to its former glory.

Another thing we’ll now have to pay extra attention to is the fact that the weekly Deep Dive needs to stay consistent for the entire week. Pretty much every change we make to the procedural content has a chance to cause the Deep Dives to change in subtle or less subtle ways, or even reset fully. This actually happened last week - those of you that were fast on the trigger might have noticed you were able to complete two Core Hunts in one week, and reap the rewards twice. Lucky you! Now to ensure that doesn’t happen again, knock on wood… ;)



Update 26 Commencing...

Right now our focus is fixing whatever critical bugs remain in the wake of Update 25, and we’re confident we’re almost at the end of that list. Meanwhile, work continues on Update 26, which focuses on wrapping up the Endgame. It’ll likely surprise no one that 26 is named ENDGAME: PART TWO, and here are some of the new features you can look forward to:



Machine Events are by far the biggest of the new features. Machine Events are preset gameplay challenges you can randomly encounter during normal missions - they need a promoted dwarf to activate, but everyone on the team will benefit from it, regardless of promotions. Completing a Machine Event allows you to infuse a Blank Matrix Core with either a new Weapon Overclock or Cosmetic item. Blank Matrix Cores are obtained by completing Deep Dives and Core Hunt assignments in addition to standard rewards.

You’re probably curious about new Beers, Victory Animations, and Bosco Skins too...buuut that’s all we’re gonna say about those right now. :>

We’re aiming for a mid-november release for Update 26, though as always take that estimate with a pinch of salt - we’re done when we’re done - but at least there’ll be plenty of Deep Dives, Core Hunts, and normal missions to complete while you wait!

As always - we urge you to keep in mind that DRG is still in Early Access and that things will keep evolving as work continues on the game. Numbers will be tweaked, things will be changed, some might get more powerful, and others might not. Every change we do happens for good reasons, but as said - if you have feedback, do let us know. We want to hear it and we are listening.

Now...time to go see if I can make it through this week’s Deep Dives…who knows, maybe I will complete the Elite Deep Dive this week! Lock and load, Miners!

DRG Game Director
