Very few dwarves truly have what it takes to work the hardest and most lethal work environments Hoxxes has to offer.

Spec Ops: Toilet Training [ ]

A 3 mission long assignment that will grant the player access to the mission type Industrial Sabotage upon completion.

There's a new player on Hoxxes! An unknown mining company is prospecting this part of the galaxy, and we need to sabotage its prospecting operation and prevent it from reporting back about how prosperous Hoxxes is. Hoxxes is DRG property and we can't allow any other businesses to set up mining operations here!

Management takes an extremely dim view of this new development, and it is clear that we must fight fire with fire - the bottom line is at risk!

For that purpose, we have devised this short series of training exercises for you, to prove that you are up to the task of facing this new threat head-on. They will be heavy on the combat, and light on the mining - you will need it once you face our new enemy!

Stay frosty, miners!

The bloody machines are retaliating after our sabotage efforts and are sending their troops in to thin our ranks. We have had several reports of machines appearing around Hoxxes and sightings of something sinister and deadly among them. It's time to stand our ground!

Management wants the situation under control immediately and for that purpose we are sending you out on several on-site missions in order to scout the premises for machines and showing them who's boss.

Note that this assignment is unusual, as it can provide Blank Matrix Cores before a player has promoted their first miner and unlocked The Forge and Machine Events . Because Machine Events cannot be initiated pre-promotion, the only way to preemptively use these cores is to find a Machine Event while playing with another player who has already acquired the Tritilyte Key.

Weekly Assignments [ ]

These assignments are repeatable in order to reward players for continued play. Like Deep Dives , they reset at 11am UTC on Thursdays.

Weekly Priority Assignment [ ]

Credit


With the level of incursion on Hoxxes increasing, Management has introduced the Weekly Priority Assignment system to combat the growing workload. It means more jobs done for the Corporation, and hefty dividends paid out to the dedicated employees taking on these priority tasks. This is as close as we'll get to win-win scenarios around here, Miners. Get on it.

Depending on the type of Assignment Missions, the player will have to complete a series of several tasks (usually 3 to even 10) for which they will receive a corresponding reward. The first Assignment task is assigned to each player from the beginning and must be completed to unlock access to all types of missions available in Deep Rock Galactic. Next quests are optional and you can get rewards from them, such as access to alternative weapons or unlocking the most difficult threat level (Hazard 5).

How to perform Assignment Missions?

Assignment missions are performed throughout the whole Hoxxes IV planetary system and are associated with various primary objectives. Typically, the player has a specific type of mission to complete in the proper part of space. Also, missions have various difficulty levels, so some should be completed in a group - especially when it comes to hunting extremely dangerous Dreadnoughts.

Assignment Missions are well visible on the main planetary map and are marked by a small white diamond that is shown in the picture above - Deep Rock Galactic: Assignment Missions - General information - Deep Rock Galactic Guide

Deep Rock Galactic Beginner’s Guide

Image of Stephanie Tang

The four tenets of dwarven ethos ring true Deep Rock Galactic   from Denmark-based Ghost Ship Games. There’s nothing like getting further down through the deep places than anybody else, especially if there’s treasure down there for the taking.

While it’s not exactly brimming with storied campaign, there’s some solid, super fun gameplay in here that about makes up for the lack of spit and polish. On the surface, the first-person mining elements might superficially resemble the pickaxe action of  Minecraft , but that’s largely where the similarities end.

First-person mining in Deep Rock Galactic

Blending mining for different kinds of sparkly treasure with high-energy bug shooting,  Deep Rock Galactic  puts all of its efforts into making co-op priority number one. Sure, you could run off into the darkness to hunt for stuff (and there will be plenty of games where you’re going to find yourself doing just that), but you’re also just as likely to get overrun and downed that way too.

If you want to make sure every game is a Mission Complete, here’s what you need to know!

Deep Rock Galactic Classes

There are four classes that you can choose from (all are available right away through the Select Character terminal):

Engineer 

  • Armed with a platform gun that shoots climbable platforms on any surface.
  • Can lay down sentry turrets for support fire.
  • Carries combat shotgun and grenade launcher.
  • Armed with a minigun and heavy-duty revolver for front-line spider duty.
  • Carries zipline launcher that allows the entire team to zipline across large chasms/obstacles.
  • Equipped with titanium power drills that allow you to drill through blocked tunnels and obstacles to get to your objective (whether it’s getting in or out); you also mine faster.
  • Carries a flamethrower.
  • Carries a flare gun for greater area of light.
  • Equipped with a grappling hook which allows for faster mobility and greater maneuverability.
  • Carries assault rifle and sawed-off shotgun.

It stands to reason that normally  it’s a pretty good idea to bring one of each — and when you’re just getting started, it’s definitely an excellent idea to bring a balanced team while you’re learning all the game modes. 

(Be sure to check out our guide on how to find gems in Deep Rock Galactic .)

Deep Rock Galactic Assignment Types

This may sound a little odd, but it’s not exactly something that’s discussed too deeply when you’re in the middle of jumping into a game. Here is an overview of some of the types of assignments you’ll run into over your earlier hours with the game.

Mining Expedition Assignments

Classic digging experience: mine x amount of Morkite plus an optional number of collectibles  ( x  caps out at about 250 Morkite).

  • What you mine sits in your own personal inventory, and what actually brings the counter down is calling over the M.U.L.E. and depositing your hard-earned minerals.
  • This game mode is procedurally generated to be full of different (generally tight) chambers and areas accessible by digging through walls of common dirt.

Search & Extract Assignments

There isn’t really a huge amount of difference between the Mining Expedition and the Search & Extract mission. You will be required to bring back  325 Morkite   plus an optional number of collectibles . 

  • This game mode has a higher objective count and will require more hunting, gathering, and digging. 
  • The cave is generated randomly but always in a relatively large single chamber. You’ll find that a lot of the minerals you’re trying to get to are located up in walls higher than you are, which will often require some ziplining or platforming to get to.

Point Extraction Assignments

While still a mine and dump kind of mining mission, the biggest difference is that you are hunting for  10 Aquarq plus an optional number of collectibles  but without the benefit of the M.U.L.E., so your miners will have to return to the static rocket site to make your deposits.

  • The  Aquarq  is not out in the open like the Morkite in other mission types; you will need to look for small, blue crystals embedded in the walls and start digging through them to find the large chunk of Aquarq to be deposited. These can’t be added to inventory, you’re going to have to carry it to the rocket in both hands in order to deposit it.
  • If you’re alone, feel free to drop it and take care of the spiders that are likely to swarm. It’ll stay on the ground and roll around some, so keep an eye on where you’ve left it while you’re busy kiting and killing!
  • The cave is procedurally generated to be a large, single cavern with the items deep in walls or high up in pillars.

Collection Assignments

Similar to the above mission type, the difference lies in the layout of the caves again. Plus this time the M.U.L.E. is back in play. To succeed, you need to bring back 10 Eggs and an optional number of collectibles.

  • As with Aquarq, the  Eggs are rarely out in the open. You will need to dig into panels of dirt with squishy-looking red bubbles on the wall to dig out the large eggs buried within. 
  • This mode makes it a little easier because you are able to call the  M.U.L.E. to you for the deposit. 
  • The caves are randomly generated to be small, multiple chambers accessible to each other by walls of common dirt. 

Elimination Assignments

Slightly different from the others (but let’s be honest, there will still be plenty of digging to do), Elimination missions require you to take on some big bosses so heavy firepower is encouraged. You need to  kill 3 targets, plus bring back an optional number of collectibles .

  • Hunt down the large, pulsing Glyphid Cocoons, which will pop under enough firepower and release a large boss-level alien spider to kill. 
  • The caves are randomly generated to be in tighter, multiple chambers, with some open (just not enormously open) areas for the Cocoons.

Know your exits

Or, at the very least, how to make your own. After you’ve completed your objectives, there’s still the task of reaching the drop pod to get out of there.

The drop pod can land anywhere, and it’s likely you’re going to have to dig to get there. If you’ve got a Driller in your group, this can be a lot easier. Otherwise it’s probably time to whip out those pickaxes and make your own way.

Other things to keep in mind

  • Don’t hog the M.U.L.E. , especially if you split off to go explore different areas. Other people probably have objective items to drop into it, and it’s really no fun lugging around giant alien eggs that take up a third of your screen forever.
  • There is fall damage . You will fall, and it will hurt.
  • There is friendly fire damage . When engaging in big spider wave battles, be mindful of where you’re firing so you don’t kill your teammates by accident.
  • Just because you aren’t a particular class doesn’t mean you can’t pull your weight. Everyone has a pickaxe, everyone has flares, everyone can dig and explore and shoot things. 
  • Keep your eye out for  Cave Leeches ,   particularly in the large cavernous areas. These are long, snake-like creatures that don’t really damage you much but will snatch you up in the air and drop you down to kill you with fall damage. One skinny, little cave worm can down your entire party if they’re not paying attention while trying to revive you. 
  • Don’t be afraid to put your cash to good use. Make sure you upgrade your gear between missions at the Upgrade console! If you’ve found rare gems during your adventures, these can be put towards purchasing cosmetic items for your dwarves.
  • Put your Nitra  to good use. Use it to  call down ammo supply drops when you’re running low on supplies.

Those are all the tips we’ve got for you beginner Deep Rock Galactic players. Check out our other Deep Rock Galactic guides here on GameSkinny.

DANGER. DARKNESS. DWARVES.

Deep Rock Galactic is a space mining corporation that prides itself on having established practical dominance of some of the most lucrative systems in the outer rim. At this time, DRG have 89 orbital space rigs in operation throughout more than a dozen outer rim systems, with 16 more currently under construction.

They are currently engaged in their most daring and heavily orchestrated mining operation to date: the complete subjugation of the planet Hoxxes IV. Hoxxes IV is the single most lucrative mining location in the galaxy, containing the richest and most dense concentrations of valuable minerals. Several competitors before them have tried to tame hoxxes IV, without success.

Deep Rock Galactic is not in the business of failing. Management bids you welcome, new miner. Welcome aboard!
