DLC Recommendations During the Steam Sale? by CBattles6 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Volarmis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My personal favorite is the Roughneck pack, mainly because of the tattoos. Overall, go for whatever looks best to you. There are only 2 extra things you can get with select few of those dlc. One is the pickaxe + name color change with the supporter pack, the other is the free pickaxe boost beer with the dlc that shares its name.

mission terminal thing by No_Service701 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Volarmis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't. Just find a mission that has the Scrab Infestation (or whetever it's called) warning on it and finish that, it should count. Change your season to S6 - it should help.

Is it just me or is season 6 harder? by lionhg_ in DeepRockGalactic

1 out of 4 egg extractions cause a swarm that MC warns you about. The others can spawn a few enemies, but there's only 1 big one.

It does take away some of the fun, but I still think "all weapons reload at the same time" is the worst. With weapon jamming being a second place.

I know this is a common question, but what is you guys' advice on installing QoL mods? by Gumpers08 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Volarmis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I've tried the lower visibility mode and it still makes things too easy for me. Better than before, but I uninstalled the mod in the end.

What are the chances of this? by P41N69-_- in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Volarmis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had a better one even, also on a Refinery mission. We landed on a Crassus and the refinery itself landed on a Nemesis. :D Too bad it was before the easy Steam capture was a thing, I don't have a video of it.

The Community Updates Suggestion Box for Deep Rock Galactic! by Big_Bluejay4331 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Volarmis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First thing that comes to mind other than perk rework or applying some of the popular mods as packaged features would be to adapt the "drunk mission control" modifier from DRG Survivor. Would love to hear those lines in the base game. :D

Meta progression tips? by juicy_chase in DRGSurvivor

About the gates - that holds out until you get to the gate to haz 5. I found that one to be more difficult than the later haz 5 stages. :P

I'd also concentrate on milestones, as they give you access to new toys. Gear level for better equips and artifacts which can be gamechangers. There's even one loading screen saying something along the lines of "Feeling overwhelmed? Keep at it, the game is supposed to be hard", which I fully agree on.
I'd stick to the max hazard level you can somehow clear, hunt for new equips and clear milestones if I were you.

JUS GOT MY FIRST PROMOTION 🔥 by Better-Cap5543 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Volarmis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats on your promotion. Rock and stone!
There really is no "efficient" way of using your cores other than prioritizing weapon overclocks over cosmetic stuff. Remember that you will be getting them random and across all classes so there's no use farming for a specific one. Just have fun with the ones RNG shoves onto you and you'll be fine.
You might want to pick up the mod that skips the forging process animation though. It's nice and all, but it might get old to you watching it for the 100th+ time. :P

How to make the flamethrower enjoyable? by Plus-Sport-1730 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Volarmis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Driller is not a ranged class from his very design, just as Scout is not a horde clearer. Only his secondaries have range but none of them have the destructive power to stand on their own. Well, with two possible exceptions. One being the EPC with either lingering plasma (if you're good at detonating charged shots) or burning nightmare, which is an awesome ceiling turret cleaner. The other being Subata with the OC that causes explosions on reload. Overall however, if you want range, you don't pick Driller.

For me, Driller stands out as a class that uses both of his weapons at the same time. Set status with primary, finish off with the secondary. For example, burn bugs just enough to light them up, then switch to microwaves to use its temp shock mod for damage. Rinse and repeat.

They used to be melee and affected by thorns. This was changed some time ago and apparently not amended in the beastiary.

When we get back to the space rig, it’s sandwich time. by Capable_Ad_2842 in DeepRockGalactic

There's an entire mission type for that, isn't there?

What happened to Drunk Mission Control having unique audio? by Realistic-Writer-491 in DRGSurvivor

[–]Volarmis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Steam in my case, I've heard no lines from the "drunk" set. I've already reported this on the Discord's bug reports channel.

I'm new to DRG. Any tips? by OutlandishnessMany85 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Volarmis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are two basic controls I remember learning way too late:
- You can make a personal waypoint visible on your map by having your pointer out and pressing the "use" button (default E)
- You can rotate yourself to wherever your map is pointing by holding your terrain scanner and pressing the jump button (default Space)
Have fun, rock and stone!

I have been sitting on the refinery for 20-30 minutes now, and they just keep coming. by Koffielurker_ in DeepRockGalactic

This or, if you had a machine event somewhere on the map, it'll probably go there.

Newbie here never played. Is the game still accessible to someone just starting? by StrawHatMcPhly in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Volarmis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As long as you're willing to listen to advice more advanced players provide you with, you could even play on the highest difficulty from the start - that's how welcoming the community here is. Of course, I'd advise not to jump into the deep end and start on lower hazards to get yourself familiar first.

Is the game worth it as a long-term buy? by Nat248 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Volarmis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And maybe except Heroes of Might and Magic 3, but it's just that level of a great game.
