Deep Rock Galactic – Lesser Known Little Tips

Tips and Tricks

Gameplay Tips

• Scout has a flaregun.
• You can use C4 on Scouts it’s a very important thing to know.
• Bosco can carry gems and Doretta’s head.
• Don’t try to melee a bulk detonator they don’t like that very much.
• You can burn swarmers with the flame of your jet boots just like hover boots. A good way to deal with a lot of them if you happen to find the boots.
• If you throw a satchel, throw a axe right after it. That way the satchel will float in the air and cover more area above (can be useful in tunnels).
• If you stand on a big exploding plant (the glowing red one) melee bugs cannot reach you.
• Ping every mushroom you see.
• You can pet ceiling tentacles.
• Drills count as a melee on ebonuts.
• Rain in the cave negates the hot floor hazard.
• Performing a ledge grab negates all fall damage. Can be used to save yourself from a lethal fall if terrain allows for it.
• You can use supply pods to dig out aquarqs, eggs and other things in the ceiling, or help a fallen teammate at a platform high above get down.

Hotkeys Tips

• Pressing Space while using the map will point your dwarf to the direction you’re facing on the map.
• Holding E while on a pipe will stop you at the next section that needs to be built.
• Holding E will let you grab zip lines when falling (no need to time it).
• Holding E and landing on a pipe line will negate all fall damage.
• Hit CTRL-E to set an individual waypoint. This is displayed as a blue dot on the map, and only visible to your dwarf.

Bonus tip

As an engineer, at the end of a mission, dig a hole into the ground , make a little cubby house, call Molly down then plug the hole, then call for extraction. In about 30 seconds it’s gonna get “cozy”. It’s quicker if you have a driller with you.
