After its predecessor was a co-op first-person shooter, Funday Games is now taking you on a top-down single-player adventure. In our Deep Rock Galactic Survivor tips and tricks, we explain how the battles and mining work and how you can level up quickly.

1) Level up your weapon to level 12
The higher your weapon’s level, the faster it reloads and the more damage it inflicts. We recommend leveling up a newly unlocked weapon to 12 as quickly as possible before your run ends. This will unlock access to special overclocks, which are extremely useful and boost your equipment’s effectiveness and functionality.
Level increases happen through upgrades. Usually, you gain one extra level per upgrade. However, some rare forms allow you to level up more quickly. Once your character hits level 5, you can carry a second weapon. If you have more than three weapons to choose from, you can roll again each time you level up.
2) Leveling tips
Speaking of leveling up, each time you do in Deep Rock Galactic Survivor, you can choose from three upgrades. You might boost your dwarf’s stats, enhance a specific weapon’s stats, or upgrade an entire weapon type or damage type. If an upgrade impacts multiple weapons, the game shows this with two upward arrows in your weapon bar.
The upgrade options at each level are random and not predetermined. If you’re unsatisfied with your choice, you can invest some of your gold to get three more suggested upgrades. Your current level and the number of experience points you need to reach the next level are displayed in blue at the bottom left of the screen. You earn experience points by killing bugs or mining resources with your pickaxe. The XP is displayed in the form of small cubes.
3) Make your way through the rocks
Let’s move on to one of the most important Deep Rock Galactic Survivor tips and tricks. Avoid mining entire rock formations completely. It might look good and be fun to do, but it also has a downside: bugs can see a clear path to you and attack in groups.
If you want to get to the other side of a group of rocks, it’s best to carve a narrow path. The AI is designed so that enemies will always take the fastest route to you. If you’ve dug a tunnel, they will use it to reach you. This ensures that larger groups of enemies will slow down and only reach you sporadically.
Take advantage of these situations by shooting into the tunnel and taking out the bugs one by one. Keep in mind, however, that some of the larger creatures will also be mining and able to approach from the side. Always stay alert and watch your surroundings.
4) Deep Rock Galactic Survivor tips: Gather resources
The gameplay of Deep Rock Galactic Survivor is split into two parts. You’ll both fight and gather resources with the pickaxe. On each map, you’ll find gold, nitra, and red sugar. There are also two random resources that you can use to buy upgrades after your dive.
You’ll need gold to reroll an upgrade selection or buy upgrades. Red sugar can be used to heal your dwarves, and red nitra can be used to purchase upgrades between levels. After each dive, you’ll receive some credits to spend on upgrades. However, you shouldn’t neglect mining. Over time, you’ll learn when to switch between combat and mining.
5) Fight the bugs
Keep an eye on the milestone progress bar. About a third of the way through, you’ll receive supplies, and a swarm will appear in the middle. It won’t disappear on its own. You’ll need to either avoid the large number of bugs or blast them away with all the ammunition you have.
Beware of the large orange bugs. These have the unpleasant ability to explode if you get too close, causing you a lot of damage. However, since the explosions cause friendly fire, you can also use this mechanic to your advantage. Intentionally get close to one of these bugs and quickly run away when it lights up. When it explodes, it will take any enemies standing around with it to their deaths.
6) Boss fight tips
Once the milestone bar in Deep Rock Galactic Survivor fills up, the boss will appear. If you manage to survive the bug called Elite, your mission is successful. To kill him as quickly and efficiently as possible, we’ll share a simple trick.
Save your supply capsule until the boss fight starts. Then head to the signal and clear all the rocks in the area. Make sure the elite are at the signal point before summoning the capsule. Ideally, it will hit your boss directly in the head, resulting in an instant kill.
Don’t forget to collect the artifact right after. Then make your way to the drop pod within the 30-second time limit and complete the run. Of course, you can also use the capsule earlier to drop on enemies, but it’s most effective to use it on the boss.
