OUT NOW

In Early Access and Game Preview

WHAT IS "Open ALPHA"?

After a lengthy and highly successful run of the CLOSED ALPHA, we are ready to announce the next stage: The OPEN ALPHA! 

The OPEN ALPHA runs from November 9th to November 12th, during which ANYONE previously signed up for participating in the Alpha will be allowed in. Upon conclusion, all operations will be shut down in preparation for our full launch onto Early Acces in Q1 2018, and all OPEN ALPHA employment contracts will be nullified.

Your participation and feedback during the OPEN ALPHA will play an extremely important role in how we choose to develop our further conquests, and we strongly urge you to join us for this limited and exclusive opportunity!

Hello Miners!

Before we head out for a couple of weeks of sorely needed summer vacation, we have cooked up a lovely little mutation to the game for you all!
 

MUTATOR SYSTEM
----------------------------

From now on, all missions have a chance to appear with Mutators attached to them. They come in two variants: Warnings and Anomalies. Anomalies are neutral or even positive, while Warnings will severely increase the danger you’ll face. Missions with Warnings on them also add a substantial Hazard Bonus to the final score. Look on the mission map for the new Warning and Anomaly icons!

The following Warnings and Anomalies are already implemented, and we expect to add lots more in future patches.

WARNINGS:

• EXPLODER INFESTATION: Whatever mutation affects the Glyphid Exploders, this is likely one of the epicenters! Hordes of ‘roided-up, rabid Glyphid Exploders will do their best to turn you into a fine red mist.

• SHIELD DISRUPTION: The cave is heavily electrostatically charged. And wouldn’t you know it, it makes your shield generators short out. So...no shields!

• MACTERA PLAGUE: Macteras of all kinds have completely taken over this cave! Flying horror descends from the sky! You could say it’s going to be... Macterrible!

• CAVE LEECH CLUSTERS: If you have a phobia of Cave Leeches, this cave will either cure you or confirm your worst fears...

ANOMALIES:

• GOLD RUSH: This cave has extraordinarily rich deposits of gold; huge veins of it just waiting for the sweet caress of your pickaxe!

• MINERAL MANIA: Crafting Minerals galore! It is the reason to go to Hoxxes after all.

• TRIPLE XP: 10 credits says you can’t guess what it does...

• LOW GRAVITY: Jump vast chasms! Scale nearly vertical walls! Just keep in mind... fall damage is still a thing, so don’t get TOO cocky...

• CRITICAL WEAKNESS: Multikill! Aim for the weak spots for severely increased damage!

• GOLDEN BUGS: Each kill earns gold for the team!

• RICH ATMOSPHERE: You feel energized and can move more easily around. Your beautiful voice may appear slightly altered by the rich atmosphere, Chipmunk!

TERRAIN SCANNER - NOW IN 3D!
------------------------------------------------

The ol’ flat Terrain Scanner has had an overhaul! The camera is now fully rotatable and zoomable, and you’ll have a much easier time finding where you need to go. Terrain Scanner has been mapped to both [TAB] and [M] by default. Go try it out! 
 

VANITY UPDATES
--------------------------

DYE YOUR HAIR OR DIE DYEING!
For Update 14, we experimented briefly with locking hair colors to classes, to make them stand out more. It turns out the players didn’t enjoy that too much... in fact, we practically feared being strung up like elves! Rejoice, however! Custom hair colors are back, and are even a bit more advanced now!

MORE HEADWEAR ADDED
A couple of new hairdos have been added (The Franklin and The Gamekeeper), as well as a bunch of much-requested variations to some of the hats and helmets!

TAKE YOUR DWARF FOR A SPIN!
Ever wondered what your dwarf looks like from behind? Well, you can now rotate your dwarf in all the relevant menus!

Note: For those who wondered where all your armor went after Update 14, it was down to a massive reworking of the system we use for all the Vanity items. All those affected should have gotten all the credits and minerals you spent on them back.
 

BOSCO UPDATES
--------------------------

AN EVEN BETTER BOSCO
Bosco has had a brain upgrade and should now be much better at doing what he’s told and dishing out damage. He is so good that we had to tweak down his damage from 8 to 6 per bullet. His burst fire has also been adjusted to be a bit slower.

RETURN OF THE DRONE
When starting a multiplayer game solo, Bosco joins you until another player joins. If that player drops out again, Bosco will reappear!
 

FASTER WAY TO PLAY
-----------------------------

EASY FRIEND INVITE
Invite your friends directly into your game! And you don’t even have to have set up a mission yet!

JOIN FRIENDS UNINVITED
You can always join your friend’s game - unless they already have a full team that is!
 

MISC.
---------

REGENERATING HEALTH
Health will regenerate to a specific minimum after taking massive damage. No more running around with 1 hit point!

MINIGUN UPDATE
The Minigun has had a massive overhaul, with a snazzy new model, improved animations, and new particles. After firing the Minigun, the accuracy is reduced at a slower rate.

LOOK WHO’S TALKING NOW
An icon is shown next to a player’s icon when using voice chat.

HUD IT LIKE YOU WANT
Some aspects of the HUD can now be hidden through the Options. For now, Enemy Health Bars, the Compass, your depth, Player Name, Class, and Class Icon.

SALVAGE OPERATION TWEAKS

• Uplink and Fuels Cells have gotten new models and animations.

• Escape Pod powering up time reduced from 120 seconds to 90 seconds.

PERKS, BUFFS, AND NERFS

• Increased the sprint speed bonus of the Weekend Athlete perk.

• Rank 3 Field Medic Perk will send nearby Glyphids fleeing when you finish reviving a teammate.

• Rank 5 Resupplier Perk will auto-reload all your weapons when you resupply.

• Fixed grammar and typos on several Perks and Milestones.

• Red Sugar Rocks: Max rank will give you a 20% speed boost for ten secs.

Summer Vacation Time
Summer is upon us, and that means we are also going on summer vacation. So we will be a bit less active in our different forums, social media etc. 
Also, we are moving to new offices in August, due to we have grown in team size. We need more SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!
We will slowly be more active in August, and at full speed in September!

Until then there is only one thing to say:
 

ROCK AND STONE!

Hello Miners! This time around we’ve cooked up a fairly massive update together for you, just in time for summer vacation. And speaking of summer vacation - DRG just cancelled yours! New missions and monsters await and you got a ton of milestones to meet! So get to work!

MAJOR NEW FEATURES

------------------------------------

NEW MISSION TYPE: SALVAGE OPERATION

It is your job to go in and clean up after a failed mining expedition. You will have to salvage three Mini Mules and repair a damaged drop pod in order to bring all the lost equipment home. Get ready for a combat heavy experience where teamwork and good preparation is key to success! Don’t be another failure!

NEW ENEMY: THE MACTERA GRABBER

The Grabber is the new terror from the sky. It snatches up a random dwarf and flies away with him, before dropping him to crack like a nut on the floor below! Depending on your luck, you might just end up with some bruises - or you might end up being dumped into a chasm! Shoot ‘em quick, that’s our suggestion...

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

Deep Rock Galactic is now tracking your work performance! On the KPI screen in your cabin you can check out detailed stats on your performance. By reaching predefined milestones you earn perk points, that can be spend on awesome perks for your dwarves, making your day to day work a little easier.

IMPROVED VANITY CUSTOMIZATION SYSTEM

The Vanity System has had a complete overhaul, expanding greatly on our options. Here are some of the new features:

• Build the beard of your dreams! Individually customize hair, eyebrows, sideburns, moustache and beard!

• All armor has received an overhaul! More detail has been added in general, and armor now supports textures! Look at the nice tiger stripes on the Gunner’s armor!

• The original selection of beards has been broken up into parts and added back in to support the new system.

• A small selection of new Hats, Hair, Helmets, Beards, Moustaches, and Sideburns have been added. We are by no means done here yet, this was just what we managed to get in for this patch.

NEW ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

• During missions in the Sandblasted Corridors, you will now have a chance of encountering blinding sandstorms and forceful wind tunnels.

• The Magma Core just got a lot hotter! Try to avoid the hot magma rock - It burns! Also notice that explosions will expose the hot magma rock under the surface - turning the battlezone into a dangerous place for friends and foes.

BUFFS AND NERFS

------------------------------------

ENGINEER: PLATFORM GUN

• Start ammo increased from 10 to 12 platforms.

• Mag size increased from 3 to 4 platforms.

• Extra platform upgrade added. First upgrade adds 4 to max ammo, second upgrade adds another 4, making it possible to shoot out 20 platforms when fully upgraded. Time to build some awesome bridges and staircases!

ENGINEER: SENTRY GUNS

• Starting sentry gun max ammo increased from 400 to 425.

• Damage per bullet has been decreased from 7 to 5.5.

• You can now upgrade max ammo for the sentry guns. The upgrade gives +75 max ammo - making you reach a total max ammo capacity of 500.

DRILLER: HANDGUN

• The starting clip size of the Handgun has been increased from 8 to 12 bullets.

• Clip size upgrade has been increased from +4 bullets to +6 bullets.

BOSCO

• Bosco now deals 8 points of damage instead of 6 per shot

• Friendly fire factor decreased from 0.2 to 0.1. Not fun being killed by your favorite Drone afterall!

ENEMIES

• Praetorians now spit acid!

Hey Miners!

It’s that time again, and we have some interesting changes for you to enjoy! This update is more experimental than usual with tweaks to the health system. Please try them out and share your thoughts using the Feedback button in game.

We realize it's a smaller patch than usual, but that's just because we're working on some meatier stuff in the background we're not quite done with yet. Watch this space for more info!

Also for Xbox Players we have added a Feedback button, where you can give some feedback to us. It is very helpful for us!
 

COMMUNITY REQUESTED FIXES
-----------------------------------------------------

• LESS SHIELD
  Some of you hardcore miners have been requesting that the game was harder - especially on higher difficulties. We have tried to make tweaks that make the game harder on higher difficulties but feel almost the same on lower difficulties. We have lowered your starting shield from 30 to 25 and changed the shield upgrades to the shield from 10 to 2.5 (giving a 10% boost).
  

• MORE HEALTH
  To compensate for the lack of shield - we’ve increased player health from 100 to 110 hp.
  

• MORE RED SUGAR
  Furthermore, the amount of healing you get from red sugar has been increased 25% and the amount of red sugar spawned in a mission has been increased by 10%.

TWEAKS
-----------------------------------------------------

• SOLO ENEMY NUMBERS & HEALTH
  Exploring the caves of Hoxxes by yourself takes more time and can be brutal, so we have made it so the swarms will be a little bit smaller when you are on your own. Enemy health has also been lowered a little bit for solo expeditions. The creatures of Hoxxes are still dangerous so don’t drop your guard!
  

• BOSCO NOW WITH 50% MORE REVIVES
  While he really wants to, Bosco can’t always save you from a cave leech. He feels really bad about it and has requested that he be allowed to revive you 3 times instead of 2. The request has been granted.
  

• MACTERA SPAWN HEALTH INCREASED
  In a continuing effort to perfect the Mactera Spawn, we have changed its health from 180 to 210. Remember to use cover and aim for the weak-spot!

Hey Miners!
It’s patch time again, and we have a bunch of cool new stuff for you! Tweaks, bug fixes, and the first new enemy! Also, along with these smaller updates, we are now initiating some larger content and feature development. More on this later, when we reveal a larger roadmap of things to come. 
 

---COMMUNITY REQUESTED FIXES---

BOSCO JOINS YOU IF YOU START A HOSTED GAME ALONE
A very popular request from the community has been for Bosco to join you when you start hosting a game. This way you can start mining with Bosco assisting you, while you wait for your friends or strangers to join your game. We have done a rough first implementation with no bells and whistles, and it works like this:

• Bosco joins you when you start hosting a public/ private game and head in alone.

• When the first a player joins your game, Bosco will self-destruct for that game session.

JADIZ BUFF
Jadiz has been one of the hardest crafting materials to collect and we have buffed it! Jadiz will now spawn a bit more often in the Crystalline Caverns region and we have changed the value range of it from 7-18 to 10-18. 

WANT NICE CLEAN SCREEN SHOTS?
Some of you have been requesting been able to take nice clean screenshot and we actually also need that feature! Now you can Hold [H] to toggle the HUD on/off. 
 

---NEW STUFF---

• NEW ENEMY: SAY HELLO TO THE MACTERA SPAWN!
  The Mactera Spawn is our first proper flying enemy. It will attack from a distance using its vomit attack. Smack that Fly!
  

• SWARMER TUNNELS
  You can now come across strangely looking small tunnels coming out of the walls. Glyphid Swarmers live here. They are very territorial and will aggressively defend their nest! A simple advice: Avoid them!
  

• CAVE LEECH LETS YOU GO “GENTLY” WHEN IT DIES!
  Previously, when a dwarf was dropped from a dying Cave Leech, he might drop for a long distance, mysteriously taking no fall damage, which was as designed but seemed weird. Now the Cave Leech slackens its’ tongue and lowers you down more gently, making it seem more realistic that you don’t take fall damage.
  

• DESTRUCTIBLE ARMOR ON GLYPHIDS!
  Direct enough firepower to those pesky armor plates to shoot them off and expose the soft underbits underneath!
  

• NEW PASSIVE CREATURE: IS IT A PLANE? IS IT A BIRD? NO IT‘S A FLYING JELLYFISH!
  The Dense Biozone region of Hoxxes is now inhabited by large, passive, flying jellies.
  

• MINERAL TRADE TERMINAL
  In the Mineral Trade Terminal you can trade your credits for crafting materials, but be advised that materials are priced fairly exorbitantly. You can also sell your precious crafting materials for credits, but again don’t expect a fair price. Deep Rock Galactic are always trying to maximize their income even if it comes from its workers!
  

• REVOLVER RELOAD ANIMATION
  The Gunner’s Revolver now has a proper reload animation - as well as a cool gunslinger move when you try the reload while it’s fully reloaded.
  

• FLASHLIGHT NERF
  Range on the dwarves’ flashlights has been tweaked down from 12.50m to 11.00m, making them a bit weaker.
  

• PATHFINDER IMPROVEMENTS
  Enemies are now less likely to go straight through thin cave walls.
  

• M.U.L.E. SAFETY FIX
  If for some reason the MULE does not find its way back to the Escape Pod, the doors will still open 15 seconds before countdown runs out.

...And tons of minor stuff, mostly bug-fixes behind the scenes, but also small visual upgrades. For full overview see the patch notes below.
