Deep Rock Galactic is a game about teamwork, mining precious minerals, and shouting “Rock and Stone!” at inappropriate moments.
This guide combines serious survival tips with the kind of humor only a 600-hour miner can deliver.

Remember: The caves are dangerous, the enemies are deadly, and the drop pod always leaves without you if you’re late.

Stay with your team

• DRG is not a solo hero shooter. Wandering off means you’ll meet the local wildlife alone, and they’re hungry.

Always check your ammo

• Call resupplies before you’re dry. Running out during a swarm is like bringing a pickaxe to a gunfight.

Light up the caves

• Press F like your life depends on it – because it does. Dark corners are where Glyphids plan their parties.

Veteran Note: If you hear “Rock and Stone” behind you, it’s either a teammate or something worse.

Gunner – Crowd control & ziplines. If you’re not setting up escape routes, you’re just a heavy gun tourist.

Engineer – Platforms & sentries. Build stairs, save lives. If you’re shooting instead of building, expect angry eyes from Scouts.

Driller – Direct paths & crowd cleanup. A good driller saves minutes; a bad one digs to Australia.

Scout – Lighting & mobility. You’re the eyes of the team – stop trying to solo every Praetorian and actually light the cave.

• Never tunnel straight up – gravity is patient, and that rock will find your face.
  
  
• Save grenades for swarms – throwing them at one bug is like nuking a mosquito.
  
  
• Revive safely – clear the area before running in. Nothing says “team wipe” like dying on top of a fallen ally.
  
  
• Call resupply early – if you wait until 0 ammo, you’ve already lost.

Sandblasted Corridors – Long sightlines, but the sandstorm will ruin your aim.
Dense Biozone – Tight spaces and enemies hiding everywhere.
Hollow Bough – Pretty… until the vines grab you.
Magma Core – The floor is literally lava. Treat it like one big hazard zone.

Veteran Note: In every biome, the real hazard is the guy who “accidentally” presses the button early.

Gunner – Minigun + Armor Breaking mods = goodbye Praetorians.

Engineer – Platform Gun with Expanded Ammo Bags – your Scout will worship you.

Driller – Cryo Cannon for crowd control – nothing’s scarier than a frozen Bulk Detonator.

Scout – M1000 with Focus Shots – turn your aim into art.

• Always salute the pod before boarding.
  
• Loot bugs are friends… until they’re loot.
  
• Don’t press the button until everyone is ready.
  
• If you fall, shout “I regret nothing!” – it won’t help, but it’s tradition.

Deep Rock Galactic isn’t just about mining – it’s about surviving with style.
Follow these tips, keep your humor sharp, and remember:

• A good dwarf is worth his weight in gold, a great dwarf brings the gold back.

Rock and Stone, Miners.
