12 Tips For Beginners in Deep Rock Galactic

[@ikruh2658]

finally, it's time to watch a beginners guide after 500 hours

[@jameswyman4664]

Agreed I have 400 hours and I still need to know more.

[@Jarate_gaming]

A little over 300 (200 on just Driller) hour. I need more info.

[@L1g7h]

You'll never know when you'll learn something new XD.

[@Jarate_gaming]

@@L1g7h yeah lol

[@nando6458]

I’ve only got 1200 hours lol

[@tylersmith9942]

A game so good you still watch tutorials even after hundreds of hours

[@MistaH1N1]

Im gonna play this for the 1st time coming weekend and streaming at the same time. Whats your #1 tip for early game, that this video might not have covered? I cant wait to play this!! Over 200k positive reviews on steam is insane.

[@tylersmith9942]

@@MistaH1N1 I'm a little late to responding, but my #1 tip is "Team play". Stick with your teammates, play to your classes' strengths, and mine that nitra! (Also be sure to get as much of every mineral ore you can) Clean them dry. Never want to miss out on potential nitra especially when the bugs come marching in.

[@MistaH1N1]

All good and thanks for replying!! I streamed this with another streaming buddy of mine recently and we enjoyed it soo much we are gonna recruit 2 more friends and do it this weekend. 1st game we played was fun. 2nd game I opened public lobby and with a team of 4 it was soo much better!!! I think the biggest challange I see right now is knowing what to do. We did different quests and we had no idea what to do, our team mates knew so we followed.@@tylersmith9942

[@marcelloriyanto7351]

agree

[@sonicpulse535]

I watched it and I'm over 2,800 hours.

[@Feryion]

To be precise, fellow driller mains: **restock before calling the pod if you intend on drilling to the escape pod** trust me. You dont wanna be stuck in a corridor during a swarm mere meters away from a successful mission.

[@ChickenSpeed]

2 drillers is so op lol alternating drilling means nonstop progress

[@adawg3032]

i got the game today and im learning really fast that the people who play this game are really good people. this community has been a blast to game with

[@L1g7h]

Little things i can add. 1- If you don't know what to do, alway be looking for something to shoot. 2- Mine your nitra with your shoulder to the wall never fails. 3- Never be shy to pick ammo upgrades. Damage one only work when you learn to use your weapons.

[@simplyyunak3189]

Pro tip for green beards: the first promotion aka reaching lvl 25 is top prioritiy, otherwise you cant get weapon overclocks

[@luisdimensity]

I just stared. What does weapon overclock mean?

[@simplyyunak3189]

@@luisdimensity each weapon can have 1 weapon overclock, that modifies the weapon stas (like more ammo, more damage)

[@daviantart7744]

​@@luisdimensity These are special perks. The variety is from: 'adds 1 dmg and 1 aoe dmg' to 'changing your ammo to nuclear payloads (+600% dmg) but you have like -80% max ammo'

[@fladenlava]

very specific improvements for your weapons that can change the playstyle of them drastically @@luisdimensity

[@preythestars]

⁠@@luisdimensityOverclocks are unique weapon mods that can vary from just slightly changing up weapon stats / functionality to completely changing up the weapon into a different playstyle. For example, Scout’s Deepcore GK2 rifle without an overclock is just a standard assault rifle, but with the “Bullets of Mercy” overclock, the GK2 will be able to deal bonus damage against burning/frozen/electrified debuffed enemies with a drawback of a lower magazine size. There are three types of overclocks: “clean” gives a small boost with no penalty; “balanced” gives a moderate boost with a slight penalty; and “unstable” gives a large boost with a large penalty to the weapons. You can earn these by promoting a class, playing Deep Dives, or completing the weekly core assignment.

[@finntheviking5579]

Actually, the best way to deal with a bulk fast if there is a swarm already on doretta is to either sacrifice one chunk of her health, as she has immunity after taking permanent damage OR the much more risky and fun way which is to let doretta take damage, from the other bugs as the bulk approaches, then just before killing the bulk throw a shield down and heal doretta fully. Then kill the bulk on doretta. There is about a 4 second window of immunity after doretta is fully repaired

[@scorpion563]

You can also damage doretta yourself

[@countsudoku6305]

there is one more option, bulk doesn't seem to care about drilldozer at all, its just collateral damage. what it cares about is one of players, if team has brain and use it one of teammates will lure detonator far enough and then kill

[@finntheviking5579]

@@countsudoku6305 true, but when the bugs are swarming dotty, you gotta stay close. Hence my suggestions being focused on if youre forced to stay close to Doretta

[@RS-pn9wu]

i think that using cryocannon freezes it and it can't explode after you kill it

[@M1911pap]

​@@finntheviking5579Youd be surprised how many bugs dont gaf about dotty. its that 90% of the time, someone is ontop of her, giving you the illusion that she attracts bugs

[@phuros]

one important tip from me for any fellow greenbeards, get adopted by at least one experienced player, i got adopted by an entire group and i instantly got overall better at the game and if you don't you probably can ask people in lobbies for help, they tend to be friendly

[@thetsarofall8666]

800 hours and here i am for my beginners training.

[@HorrizonLP]

In case anyones interested, as a casual player it took me like 5 konths to get all overclocks, now after 7 i also had the minerals to forge all

[@luketalbot2643]

It's kind of part of tip 12, but please play the way you want. There's sometimes a mentality that people like myself fall into that you have to try and play the best, be on the hardest setting, etc. You don't need to be a leet Haz 5 gamer, you don't have to play to the 'meta'. My friends play Haz 4 and that's a challenge for me, when I'm solo or doing public games I mostly do Haz 3 because that's what I like. And that's ok! Don't feel like if you're not playing super hard you're not playing right, it's entirely up to you!

[@Phoub]

A hot tip I have for communicating on console is that you can bind opening chat to pressing salute twice in quick succession

[@jdjones7855]

Always be there for the Greenbeards, im proud of the amount of pointers ive given out

[@Thomasfoolery69]

I just played my first game and the guy didn't have mic but at the end after a lot of revives I saw him write hell yeah you guys did great! I gotta watch more KZbins before I get on again but everyone seems helpful

[@N0V-A42]

I'd like to add an addendum to tip 10. Adding a steep section to the start of every tunnel on the way back will allow Engi to seal the tunnel behind the group with the platform gun.

[@kagenekoUA]

8:46 you did a great job fitting 10 biomes on 1 screen, and I would say that using sandblasted corridors as a background is quite appropriate 😅

[@IYPITWL]

I just played my first few hours w a buddy. Others joined and we followed them. He picked the driller and I picked engineer. :)

[@jorgeianfernandez9885]

Back in season 1 or 2 I was scout and whenever I saw a vein I'd yell CHEESE PUFF and point towards a vein. It was hilarious and he was always on point with the placement. It was beautiful teamwork.

[@victortapirdea5343]

A little tip for scouts when there's an armored enemy trow a grenade (slow motion) and go to their back and shoot

[@democracy.superiority.enjoyer]

I would like a unique enemy for every biome but that might be a season 6 thing

[@MsMacintosh]

Ooo, magma graphics would be so cool! Like a lava-spewing praetorian, fire resistant grunts? Poison for the fungus bogs? I would love to see more variants and new enemies!

[@cheeseboy2312]

As a driller newbie, I was considering about it, but now that I'm sure drilling straight to the escape pot could be more convenient, thanks.

[@MRGue69]

recently started with drg with 6 other friends and we fukin love that game! Thank you for your guide, that helps a lot! Greetings from Germany! Rock and Stone!

[@SlySoSerious]

i rly wish there were some kind of a healer class :< love to play as healer! but this seems interesting regardless :) mayvbe ima give it a try

[@cherrycat5599]

You can use the field medic active perk to act as a healer. Play gunner and use the shield to prioritise downed teammates

[@SlySoSerious]

oooh rly? thanks for this !

[@scorpion563]

For the nitra crusts thing, generally for low levels if you're playing slow you make a good argument for it, but once you start to speed up your play it becomes less and less worth it to mine the crusts. As for the driller mining to the pod, if you aim a bit above the icon, it allows you to surface at ground level or a bit above it rather than under the pod, which can allow for easier mobility in and out of the tunnel if say a dwarf goes down. Otherwise solid beginner video.

[@johnvanek9514]

I find that as you develop your technique for mining, there shouldn't be much crust left over anyway. For example, I'm a scout mining a horizontal piece of nitra on the wall, mining the "top layer" of the nitra leaves a perfect "bottom layer" to vanish off the vein. Even better if you mine close to the walls to easily dig out some space

[@PraiseDolan]

Nah eat ya crust fam

[@shatifan_the_slime4445]

quick an easy tip for nitra mining, each vein is only 2 smacks wide, to cleanly pick off every single bit of the vein, go from the very top or very edge of the vein first, then down slightly then back up, you zig zag when you mine nitra

[@blendes3240]

I see alot of new players that arent used to fps games start out on hazard 3 and they die a few times and then leave the game before it ends, probably uninstalling the game 5 seconds later.

[@craigfunk3453]

Yeah. As a console player i will ping anything im 'ready to do' and once the whole team pings it all at once, its 'go time'

[@slavking992]

Level 600 players jumping in to 50 - 75 % hazard missions, maybe mine one strip of morkite and end the mission while the noobs just wanna find some minerals for upgrades.

[@toum1548]

Watching this guide made me feel like i'm not a beginner anymore

[@nowzaaa]

As a new player this video has taught me a lot

[@gerharddiedericks2120]

Didn't notice the ammo segments; thanks for that tip :)

[@trollmaster6994]

You dont need to stick together all the time but always have at least 1 other person with you so you can rescue each other. Also nobody cares how you play unless they need to revive you 5+ times par mission.

[@dominicaustin6016]

My mates and I just had our first night on this and had the best coop fun, I think, ever!

[@boss123ah]

You can type on console. Go to your settings I forget where specifically but you can press R3 twice and it brings up the keyboard.

[@vitaminbleach1217]

Goes from pyro main to a person who likes the driller the most makes sense

[@democracy.superiority.enjoyer]

You can turn on chat on ps4 in the options menu, rock and stone twice in quick succession and the chat pops up

[@lightsplitter5541]

Rock and Stone !

[@PennsyPappas]

I wish i had watched this video or one like it when i started off. My journey started a few months ago after some friends convinced me to get the game. Okay fair enough but not much if anything was really explained to me or in a god way and they play on Hazard 4. Needless to say i easnt having a good time but as of recently i am javing fun now after playing a bit more on my own on lower hazard levels. I now feel alot more confident than i did before but i almost uninstalled the game because i really wasnt having fun. So for those of you in a similar situation do ask for lower hazard levels if higher ones are hard for you ajd ask your friends for better instructions. It will make all the difference in the world.

[@LordRazer3]

No matter how good you are you can still fail. Nothing is saving you when you jump down a hole and land between 3 spitballers 3 lithophage breeder's. Oh and a sandstorm just started

Due to shitty internet, i mostly play solo, and I always skip the nitra crust. Im around 150 or something like that, but when I do play multiplayer, i mine everything

Tell us about hazards ☣️. When jump to next one? Is it worth? For what purpose?

Nifty little game. Why didn’t I get on it sooner……..

[@tzeffsmainchannel]

7:01 This is NOT advisable anymore! I tested out solo-mode and "drilled my way to the escape pod but then suddenlt it ran out of power! (no, *it wasn't just overheated!)* So, I was then slowed down to a crawl, because I couldnt go back, the entrrance I made was *filled with creepers* that just couldn't fit to get in (which is a good and also a bad thing!) *This Dwarf was Left Behind!*

[@tzeffsmainchannel]

Just survived for the first time in solo mode (gotta test it out before ruining other players' game!). I simply followed the shiny beeping beacons that easily lead me to the dropship!

Don’t mine the crusts. It’s 80 nitra for a resupply. An extra 0.1 nitra isn’t going to be the difference

I am not surprised that muricans hate the bread crust. Murican bread is disgusting and the crust just tastes like wet bread.
