A little something extra that I think is worth mentioning is when you're jumping/falling to a zipline or cave angel you don't have to time pressing "e" You can just hold the button down as soon as you jump and you'll automatically grab it when you reach it.

-ressuplies pod can and will kill you if you stand under them. -boarding the drop pod with the secondary objective items either in your inventory or your hand will not complete the objective. You need to deposit them before leaving -holding "e" while falling lets you grab a cave Angel or a zipline. You don't need to time it. -grabbing a zipline lets you escape the hold of mactera grabbers. -pressing "x" makes Bosco either drop or throw whatever he's holding. -do not freeze a Crassus detonator. There wont be any gold spawn -a greenbeard is almost always welcome. A greenbeard who doesn't read the chat nor answer ISN'T! -while looking at the map, press the spacebar to align yourself with the direction you're facing in the map overview -the unknown horror is visible on the map (a black sphere) -in "on site refinery", the leaks are visible on the map. -aquarqs and gunk seeds are visible in the map once you've popped them or dug them up. -press "e" while holding the laser pointer to set a waypoint where you're pointing. -if you can, bind the grenade to a button situated on your mouse. being able to move while aiming is quite pleasant. (particularly for impact axes) -EPC mining can also be useful for bringing down the scout who died 50 meters above everyone. -Bosco can kill fester fleas if you ping them. -Dreadnoughts cannot be set on fire. -balance the damages between the 2 dreadnoughts (arbalest and lacerator). otherwise they will heal like crazy. -Bet-c does not give xp. if you want to avoid her, you absolutely can. -kill the Tyrant weed's healing pod in priority. dont ask, just do it. -bring Dotty's head back on the pod. She's part of the team. -wait for the other players before attacking the mineral hoarder. (or the prospector, or starting an event) -if you click with your laser pointer on the differents parts of the OMEN MODULAR EXTERMINATOR, you can see what weapons it is going to use. (bottom one is always the lasers. second and third floor can be any combination of drones/heavy burster/twin slicer) -in "on site refinery", do the secondary objective BEFORE starting the refinery (especially if it involves gunk seeds). the bugs will certainly overwhelm you after the liquide morkite is safe. -if you hate swarmers (who doesn't?) "thorns" is a really good perk. More over, if you have a weapon that does less than 15 dmg, in HAZ 5, you will NOT one-shot a swarmer. -the "strong arm" perk DOES NOT grant you a carry speed for gems and other heavy objects. the beer "backbreaker stout" does. (this might have been patched. -do not run in the memorial hall. it's really not respectful for Karl. -as gunner, if you like to hang whil shooting, it's a good idea to set up a parallel zipline 2 meters under your first zipline. if you fall, you can catch the other one. -as a gunner in an iron will state, resurect your teammate, THEN set up your shield, then die. Your teammate will (hopefully) rez you right after your death. -as gunner, if you purchase the shield expansions in tier 1 and 3, your shiled will be big enough to protect the entire dildozer. -yes, it's actually called a "dildozer", look at its pointy end. -as engineer, press "r" (reload) when having your turrets selected to toggle between which of the two you will relocate. -as engineer, please plug the hole created by the ressuply pod, especially if close to the uplink or the fuel pod -as engineer, "turret whip" will also work on other engineers' turrets. (not sure about the overclock "turret discharge" or "turret arc" for the stubby voltaic SMG though) -as engineer, please set up plateforms just above your eyes above the OMEN MODULAR EXTERMINATOR buttons (not stacking them on top of each other.) this will (hopefully) negate the lasers cutting your ankles but you will activate the buttons -"repellant additive" can also be used to funel the bugs on your proximity mines, make sure to use this strategically. -proximity mines will disappear in an explosion 3 minutes after exploding for the first time. -if you hear a scout screaming whil being stuck on the ceiling, either place a plateform under him or stand under him. otherwise, he'll fall to his death. -as engineer, call you sentry before leaving Hoxxes IV. (you can do it while the animation of the pod leaving the planet is playing) otherwise your turrets will be left alone on Hoxxes. They will be terribly sad. (also, management is tired of buying new ones each time you go on a mission) -as scout without an engi (or a bad one), you can hang on the wall above the gold you want to mine, then call Molly. She'll come right under your feet and you will be able to start mining. -as driller, "hardened drill tips" in the tier 1 upgrade of your drills only upgrades your REAL drill speed by 20%, not 50. ("Drilling in the name of" made a good video about this) -as driller, drill a tunnel in which the crasus detonator can explode. (you're a dwarf after all, express your love for gold) -if you are using a weapon overclock that does something with bullets when they are hitting the ground (bounce elsewhere or convert to electro/cryo minelets), use blow through rounds as well: you will hit your ennemy, and then the bullet will have its interaction with the ground as well. -do not, under any circumstances, tell management you are in possession of a weapon overclock.

A very small thing but worth mentioning nonetheless: In the radioactive exclusion biome, the cave vines are passive and you can actually pet them the same way you would a lootbug. I’m saying that because when I first encountered those things hanging from the ceiling and reaching for me, my gamer instincts made me blow them to oblivion. Don’t waste your ammunition on what is essentially a friendly organism !

For number 75 let's say you have to deposit one aplaca bloom for the secondary mission and you keep it in your inventory and do not deposit it and take the dropship, you will fail the secondary mission. You need to deposit it before boarding.

Some Additions to Tips 6. 1:40 Thin Containment Field can also be broken by other dangerous projectiles such as the acid attack from a Spitter or Menace. 9. 2:43 Iron Will is especially helpful when combined with the perks Field Medic, Resuppler, and Vampire. Field Medic can help you revive you fallen teammates faster and Resuppler can make reviving yourself with a resupply much faster and more beneficial. Vampire also allows you to revive yourself when no red sugar or resupply is nearby. This perk build is a personal favorite of mine which can save a failed mission when everything goes wrong! 11. 3:24 The IFGs also do 30% bonus damage to anything inside of them. Combine this with the Stubby or Zhukov's Conductive Bullet modification and you'll be doing 60% more damage just from an IFG along! 19. 5:58 Something I would recommend to change in the settings is to enable Toggle Laser Pointer and Terrain Scanner. Just try it once and you'll know why it's really good. 25 7:14 Two reliable ways to deal temperature shock damage (which is a 200 disintegrate damage to all enemies each time it's applied) is with Scout and Driller. With the Driller use the Cryo Cannon and the EPC with Plasma Burn to deal Fire Damage. With the Scout use the Drak-25 with Thermal Exhaust Feedback and the Zhukovs with Cryo Minelets. 27 8:07 Also make sure to not stand on your platforms when you're using repellent. The bugs will straight up ignore them. The best use I found with repellent is to make a path to funnel the bugs to. 44. 13:01 The Driller's drills can also be used to prevent flying rocks from colliding with the Drilldozer. Just drill facing upwards and below the rocks and when they hit your drills they'll break apart instantly. 47. 13:51 This is unfortunately false. Hitting reload on the Minigun will play it's gunsling animation which has no effect on cooling. This is also true with the drills. However there's no reason no too if you're cooling of the minigun and don't want to use your secondary. 59. 17:13 You can also pet the Hexawing Gniffers and Breather plants in Azure Weald and Radioactive Exclusion Zone respectively. These two are just for fun. 66. 19:06 Specifically Mutators (just like Hazard Level, Mission Length and Complexity) contribute to the Hazard bonus which is what Credits, XP and crafting minerals are multiplyed by at the end of the mission 72. 20:33 To my knowledge Dreadnought swarms will only happen on Mining, Point Extraction, or Refinery Missions. I'm completely sure they won't show up during a Salvage, Elimination, Escort or Industrial Sabotage mission, but they could show up during Egg Hunts.

Had that 1.53% chance of a dreadnought pop today. We were doing a hacking pod. At the end of a point extraction. The bugs were already constant, but when the dread showed up? Pandemonium. I don’t even know how we got the data cube and made it to the pod. It was very rock and stone

A super helpful map tip - When spinning the map around it can be hard to tell which way you are facing vs the way you want to go. Hit Spacebar to have your Dwarf align with the way you spun the map.

As a beginner at Deep Rock, this primer was well executed and very informative. No BS. No yammering on. Straight and to the point. I thank you and my ADHD thanks you. Excellent video! I appreciate you!

If you want to challenge yourself, drink a blackout stout then quickly start the mission as soon as possible, you should blackout AFTER it hits 0. This sometimes causes the drunk effect to stay active the entire expedition.

Another tip regarding pipelines: if you fall from a high place directly onto a pileline, you can keep your E key pressed and, upon touching the rail, you'll immediately slide and avoid any and all fall damage, no matter your fall velocity or height. Pretty useful for all classes not called Scout!

Something to keep in mind the minigun reload animation is purely cosmetic and any decrease in heat is placebo.

I still think pumpjacks should give O2 on low oxygen, it gets real rough otherwise. Especially on tough biomes like the bough

I just started playing the game this weekend and I'm having a blast! There are three things I learned right away: 1. The community is really nice and helpful towards new players! Thank you! ❤ 2. You have to spam ROCK AND STONE as much as possible. 3. When you find a big chunk of gold you don't deposit it right away. You all gather around it with the laser pointers and yell "We're rich!!"

Been playing with a group pretty consistently since launch on playstation last month. This channel has been real helpful, especially with the overclock guides and such. Keep up the great work!

One thing that I would add on to number 73 is that you can also have BOSCO mine the laser pillars as well when you’re solo in those Dozer missions 😂👏

Once again a great video. Well structured and informative accompanied by your sunny attitude. You light up these infested caves like no one before you. Thank you, Rock and Stone.

A little Tip for Drilldozer mission that ive been doing that helps a lot in solo. You can use Bosco to mine Oil shardes on the roof of the cave so you don't have to mine up to it. Makes drilldozer in solo more tolerable. I forgot to add that you will have to use the battery laser thingy to pick it up still but it'll save you time still.

For tip 73, you can also order Bosco to break a crystal for you. It will go for the base and not the tip, but it's a way to get rid of them eventually. Its Tier 1 Mining Expert perk will also make it destroy a crystal faster. For tip 86, you can also keep your E key pressed while jumping (on PC at least) and you will always grab a zipline while falling without having to time the button press.

24:51 bro made the cleanest transition known to man and thought we wouldn’t notice?

Recently found out about your channel Reape! Gotta say, has to be the most informative and thorough DRG channel out there! Subscribed and hope to see you on the caves, rock and stone

For tip 79 and resupplies, on my first multiplayer mission with randoms, the graybeard called in 3 resupply pods (one for each player, or just 4 resupplies each)… During the boss fight, when I went to get my 3rd resupply (of the whole mission), I realized they were all empty. The other greenbeard (lower level than even me) had taken not only all of his but also my own (and probably some of the graybeard’s). It’s not rocket science, it’s basic math 😂 I am a greenbeard and even I can tell that you have to freakin share lmao… It can be forgiven, sure, but remember that if you take everyone else’s ammo, you also take away their fun because they can’t do anything anymore.

Tipp 101: You can pre-drill doretta missions. Use the compass in the top middle of your screen and go for direction 220, be sure that you are not to high, low, left or right from where doretta is facing or you drill past a cave. Tipp 102: You can also pre-drill on morkite missions. Go for the 220 on your compass again and drill down in an ankle about 40 to 45 degrees. This makes the extraction go alot smoother. Best is to have your team go the regular way to mine stuff from the tunnels while you already set up the escape tunnel during the mission. Note, this is quite fuel consuming, better take a max fuel drill for that.

Super comprehensive and informative! You can see that you put in a lot of work into this Video, good job Ron! Actually the best DRG content creater out there!!

Awesome vid, this must have taken forever to make. New to Deep Rock since the ps launch and your videos have been a huge help! Rock and stone!

I had no idea about the dreadnaught thing until one spawned in my escort duty and destroyed Dotty. It’s also the only time I’ve ever lost due to Dorretta being destroyed

A little fall damage tip for brand new players who chose the scout path, when falling you can use the grappling hook and shoot the ground below you when it’s reachable but you cannot use it if you went high WITH it unless you work on a good charge rate.

I've played Deep Rock Galactic for over 600 hours. not ONCE did I EVER notice #76 happening, but I know that even with little nitra veins, salvage missions have always felt manageable on resupply pods. I feel so confused, how this was never something I acknowledged or noticed.

Since DRG came out on PS4,you became my Wikipedia of Rock and Stoning !!! You are doing a great job man! and by staying objective while still been subjective about your own preferences,you give people ideas without hindering their own progress and playstyle. Good job mate ! Did i hear a ROCK AND STONEE anyone !!!?

Overhangs (even without the repelling additive, though regular enemies will just walk over it) also are handy to help prevent things like Meances, Webslingers, or the worst of all Acid spitters, from having really ridiculously far lines of sights to get a cheap shot or two at you from above. Also helps if the roof is low enough grunts or other similar enemies could attack you from their position on the roof. Though like was stated, be careful on placing too much. Since you are cutting off line of site for you and others also.

As a driller main, I LOVE that last tip and it makes so much sense too. I am pretty surprised though that you didn't mention the really good tip, (for goo gun for example) which is that any weapon with a "hold click" kind of charge shot mechanic that takes up extra ammo, can all be used at 1 ammo in the clip and still work just as well. I always use this on the sludge pump to get some free easy shots off.

Regarding engineer platforms with repellant, the platform in the path of a bug increases the distance in the calculation of the bug optimal/shortest path. So all you have to do is make that number higher by increasing the distance to travel on the platforms, at some point with enough platforms in a row, the bug will go around it, even if there is a great distance, since it sums up to less distance than walking over 5 platforms in a row for the straight line path. This means you can make wide overhangs as well, just increase the number of platforms going forward in the middle of the overhang, and gradually decreasing towards the sides. For example, the overhang over a pod would be centered on said pod and almost come to cover it in the middle, the overhang will have the shape of a half moon.

For Tip 53, an easy way to find these are by looking at the map for the trail in the ceiling (similar to the ones made by drop pods you call in)

This is one detailed video that everyone, grey or green should watch. Major props Ron, keep up the kick ass DRG videos!

Awesome video man! I've been playing the game for a while now, and turns out there's still lots to learn about this game. Keep up the awesome content!! Rock and Stone!

Just started playing the game, you have no idea how much these tips helped my gameplay. Thank you!!!!

With tip 43, you can also freeze the Crassus before it dies and get the same effect. This also cancels out the gold crater that a Crassus leaves behind, so make sure your Cryo driller knows not to do this Also I did not know about Goo negating falling damage!

Great Video! There's a ton of good information for new players. Following just a few of the 100 tips will improve your gameplay. Very impressed that you did a full 100 tips.

I just got into DRG last weekend when it was free to play, this video was dope! Thank you for putting it together!

I just started last night, all of these tips are helpful. Some don't make sense to me yet (idk what promotion is) but I think I'll figure it out soon. Thank you!

Just an edit for tip #5: Hoverboots does no fire damage but does apply heat. (The difference is heat is what heats up enemies, and fire damage is simply a damage type that some enemies may or may not be weak or resistant to)

Okay i only read the title and already LOVE this video. I'll share this will my my fellow dwarfes 😎

This vid missed a very important tip for on site refinery missions, you can hold the interact button (usually E on pc) to automatically start riding on pipes to save yourself from fall damage without having to time the button press. It also stops you at unbuilt pipelines and begins repairing automatically, which makes the repair job a little less tedious.

Regular detonators won't explode if you kill them with a headshot. Also Bosco really is MVP. He can dig out compressed dirt, he can dig out minerals on the wall, and he can dig out resources inside walls (Aquarks, compressed gold, jadiz, enor pearl, etc.) and automatically carry them back to you, which is _really_ nice when they're in hard-to-reach places. If you ping carryable things on the ground, he'll also bring them to you (for example, you can shoot down a gunk seed and ping it on the way down, and he'll find it and bring it to you) so on point extract missions you can just sit on the onsite refinery and let him do all the work. Plus he'll track down and kill fester fleas if you ping them. Basically, if you're solo, ping everything and Bosco will do the rest. (And if you salute him he salutes back!)

Thx This was very helpful and a good Vid too and keep on Rock and Stoning

Excellent video, add one, when you are doing missions to protect the bulldozer, you can simply with a driller drill in the direction 220 and it will take you right to the core. This takes a bit of the excitement out of the game, but allows you to clear areas before bringing in the bulldozer.

After only "200" hours i still learned a couple of new things. Thanks dude.

Tip 101: if one of the liquid morkite geysers in a on-site refining mission is more than 100 meters DIRECTLY ABOVE the refinery, then just abandon the mission, ~4k credits is not worth 47 minutes of your life.

I have over 600 hours in the game, and I had never noticed repairing mini-mules gave you gold and nitra.

I am late to the party, but love your channel. Thanks for your work, rock and stone ! Your videos are very well made and I had a blast watching them.

This is a great video! A good mix of beginner and lesser known tips!

with almost 1000hours in DRG, I still learn a few things in this video. great job! I think every miner should watch this!

You can put personal waypoints by pressing Use key while using the laser pointer. Useful for Driller if you are doing rival data deposit hacking or On-site refining where you can place the way point on the objective and then drill precisely towards the objective.

These are really useful, thanks! Some of them I already knew but now I know more.

Great tips, thank you! Speaking of common courtesy, I once had a guy pop a dreadnought egg before we were ready and then leave the session.... we were on haz 4 with 3 dreadnoughts and he totally screwed us all over since we were still looking for nitra to resupply before the fight..

very good video, after playing with my friends for a while I found some of these pretty naturally but I still learned a lot.

If you're piss drunk and don't want to be on missions, order a Leaflover's Special. The perk buzzkill will get you sober in a jiffy

Super useful video! Thanks a bunch!

thank you for the vid. im lvl 500 but didnt know about the reload animation cancel and the drill block trick xd always good to know new stuff btw, not sure if you explained this but you can cancel mining animation releasing the mine button right after the hit, immediately starting next mining cycle. if well executed, may save some precious frames. Also works offensively when hitting enemies, may also help a bit when triggering vampire perk. Needs a bit of practice otherwise you lose some cycles by releasing earlier

Rock and stone my fellow miner! Thanks for some awesome tips, make sure you tip Lloyd when you see him at the bar next!

This was great, thanks!

I know this is an old vid (and someone probably said this already), but pressing 'r' does not cool down your minigun. It's just an animation that takes time, and your minigun cools down at the normal rate while the animation is playing! That being said, there's a bunch of stuff I didn't realize already (like that the nuke doesn't lose resources when blowing stuff up). Keep up the good vids! : D

What an amazing video! That must have taken a good while to make ;) Thanks for making this!

Hey I’ve been watching a lot the last month due to DRG coming to PS5…. Just wanna say thank you for the content, helped me so much when I first started… ROCK N STONE!!!

Wow these were allot of tips and tricks, great video

Wow 300 hours in and I had no idea the mini mules gave you nitra and gold for fixing them, great video ron. I wish this video was out when I started

27:52 Any direct damage dealt to those shots will stop them. Meaning any class with a high fire rate weapon will easily deal with the spitballer (EG : Gunner with the base minigun). Simply make sure that you are aiming your stream of fire at the mouth where the spitball will spawn when it's about to shoot one, and you are trouble free.

I feel I should point this out, Reapee, but for Tip 63... Hazard Ratings and Cave Complexity being used to determine stops can be thrown out the window. From the MISSION SELECT screen, underneath, where the quota for missions can be found (# Eggs, # Moarkite, etc.) it tells you a number followed by a Fuel Cell icon. This tells you how many stops are in the mission. I found this out recently and was only a thought until I went into a mission (The mission said 2, I thought 2, and there was 2 pit stops.), making it easier to determine a good plan. That aside, I'm still new to the game and some things I never of, really nice! Thanks!

Nice, I've been playing Alot, so more information and tips and tricks will make my game easier. Great content man.

Close the door to your room when using the CRISPR on Driller. You may not actually notice your own maniacal laughter, but everyone else in hearing distance will.

Tip 101 you can use an online savegame editor to save you a bunch of grinding, and get all the OCs so you can play

Tip 101: If a fellow dwarf is frozen, you can pickaxe them to progress their unfreeze progress by a large chunk

For the floating rocks against engineer platforms I think they nerfed this tactic since now when the omaron explodes between phases it also ruins your platforms too. You’d have to put those platforms up very fast when that phase begins which def would be hard to do.

Over 9k subscribers, you need another 9k, you got this man

I’m a PlayStation player that just got the game and have been having a blast! Rock and stone!

I have played over 200 hours, and this video still had heaps of useful tips I did not know! Thank you!

I never knew the drills worked on vampire or impact axes. That's changing my perks on driller as that's a new one tbh.

Great video man 😄 Must've took awhile to put all the tips together!

I actually never knew about the extra morkite thing, that might come in handy

This video was super helpful man! Most of these were news to me and will be trying to use them in the future! Awesome content will continue watching for sure.

Well done vid Ron, even with visual representation of each tip! Recommended for every new miner and greybreards alike! RnS

I've found that gunner is the best dwarf for solo missions, being high damage, long range and the bubble shield guarantees invincibility for at least a few seconds. Driller is also good.... Except on missions that have wide open areas and you have lava gushers out of range of your flamethrower and every time you go to build a pipe a fucking stingtail fucking yoinks you away and you also have spiders fucking sniping you with webs and Bosco decides to ignore your order to fire the fucking rocket.... Engineer and scout honestly work best together than with the others due to their utilities.

For Tip 73, I like to use the RJ250 Compound on your 40mm to break the beam crystals. A nice well placed shot does the trick. Lots of ammo, fun mod, and useful if your teams a little, uhhh, off.

Thanks as a new player I found this very informative! Thanks

67. I had someone mine an entire crassus detonator with epc while my back was turned and I had pots o gold, tragic

200 hours and I didn't know half these 😂 great video really love the attention to detail DRG has.

Very well thought out tip list, but you forgot to mention one thing: Pots o' Gold is a great buff to have if you need more credits from completing a mission, but it's not a good idea to have when you start an open public game or join a game because not every teammate will have that buff active. Unless you tell them in advance to leave the gold for you to mine, thusly benefiting to the high bonus gold count in the long run, you're better off just going with either Red Rock Blasters, Slayer Stout, or Rocky Mountains as your buff. Pretty much any buff that doesn't have to rely on shared effort.

Some of these really helped out, because I was telling my friends some of the wrong things. Thanks for these tips and clearing up my confusion.

From what I have seen the Plasma Burster mod on the Hurricane is working as intended. It wrecks anything airborne as the missiles pierce, turn around since your targeting is still on the airborne enemy, then keeps repeating the process.

I chuckle when you get dreadnaughts on other missions. Mission control is unusually worried when it happens :P

Subscribed. I just started the game, looks fun!

I was doing a solo mission and heard “glyphid dreadnought incoming” was confused and scared at the same time

Tip 47 about the minigun cooling down faster when spun in false.

Tip 101:When you see a Mushroom spam mark it.

Been playing for like.... 250 hours? And i've mained Scout and Engi the most. The driller axe tips you dropped at the very beginning of the video was news to me! Thanks!!!! I might have to main driller for a bit

Another use for the platform gun on escort missions, you can use it on the lasers, use 2-3 to reach the top amd you only need to break the top bit for it to stop, and if any others are close to one you already have platforms and can jump to the nearest one

An addendum to the dash breaking slows tip. In general, if you can reach a high enough threshold of speed bonus, you will completely beat a slow. For instance, scouts mods that add movement speed, rich atmosphere, etc. can easily allow you to ignore slows like snow, blizzards, and sandstorms. Stacking harder can potentially let you beat webs or goo, but this is much more difficult.

Never knew about the resupply pods on salvage missions, wow, that can be really useful, sice these missions are the hardest in my opinion.

I've played a fair bit now, and I still learned a few things. I didn't know you could fly with cave angels...

well dayum man i thought i was experienced but this is really helpful man i only knew like half of em

A favorite trick that I like to use is to throw a L.U.R.E. behind an Oppressor which will usually turn them around and then you can shoot at the exposed weak spot without concern of damage, or being flung across the map. As a side note, I'm pretty sure that L.U.R.E.s do not work on each of the main Dreadnaughts, the exception being any of the "smaller" bugs spawned by said, Dreadnaughts. Also, what Bosco mines is not simply a in conjunction of what vein you selected. Where you select is actually the center of a large circle, and Bosco will mine anything with in that circle (unless you pointed at dirt or rock that contains a singular, grabbable object, such as an egg or gem, or a leg to a mini mule). So make sure to select the center-most of where all the minerals are.
