Possible bug tech: on escort missions during the floating rocks phase, driller can stand on top of Doretta and drill the falling rocks instantly when they fall on her, no damage and it saves mad ammo. Just like drilling the spitballer shots, basically.

Important note: do NOT try the C4 levitation thing with the volatile compound upgrade. The C4 WILL blow up in your face, causing you to take a lot of damage.

As a new player, a lot of these tips are flying over my head, but one thing that stands out to me is your ability to interweave combat & objectives. My group still has a definite "context switch" moment when changing between the two, and our missions are taking too long because of it.

As a new player to the game (47 hours) looking to main driller with cryo/epc/axes combo, I really appreciate all the useful tips learnt here. Especially the axe cancelling and the spitball blocking with the drills.

You can use impact axes to destroy the shock crystals as well! Takes 3 of them and you can retrieve, and you can also get rid of multiple biome hazards like the poison shrooms, cave urchins, one hit the ebonut shells but not the radioactive crystals sadly. Love the vids man :)

Axis uploaded??

With the vines that creep up on terrain, I've found that if you find their "stem" that they retreat to, and destroy the terrain supporting it, the vine is destroyed. Takes some time, though.

driller= most versatile class, dont @ me

Before this video I thought "I cant wait to see what build he uses, he has more experience so he knows whats best" then I saw the build and HE HAS THE EXACT SAME BUILD I DO

Dude, I never knew how effective the fragile mod is - back then I checked the wiki on how both T5 mods worked, and I saw that fragile only triggers on "low" health targets and it doesn't even kill them if they have frost resistance. So I dismissed it as just a funny gimmick mod and went with cold radiance without even giving fragile a try. Didn't realize that grunts only have 90 base health so even if they were still at full health after getting frozen, it can trigger with a 10% chance per hit. It's pretty brutal. Does make triggering vampire with the drills a bit more difficult though since you kill frozen grunts so fast, you can't just freeze a large group of them and then heal for half of your health bar.

For such a simple game, there is actually a lot of nuance. The skill ceiling for each class, specifically driller, is really surprising. I figured the best you could be at Deep Rock is decent game sense and good aim, but a lot more goes into it. You can be a pretty damn good driller even with poop aim, and that's what I love about this game. It feels really cool to wipe swarms with the floating satchel charge tech, or mine a nitra vein on the ceiling with the secondary. Great video btw, I learned a lot and I'm definitely going to practice this stuff!

"Sometimes you just gotta style on"

Welp. Think I've found my favorite and most informative DRG channel. Rock n stone!

Just started playin yesterday and this is the best gameplay footage I’ve seen on the driller

Really nice video, it's super good to be able to know how a more experienced player goes around doing his missions and all the neat little secret tricks!

I used to be a boy scout and your scout video turned me into a Chad Scout. Can't wait to discover the gems in this one !

*EDIT: This video helped me beat my very first HAZ 5 solo mission. :O *

Hello AK, I found your videos just today and they are great. I am looking fwd to the Remastered EPC guide as I am having issues getting it to work consistently. All of your other videos are great as well. I am now a subscriber.

Your videos keep gettibg even better. Cant wait to see you get the deserved growth.

I really liked all the neat tech you showcased in this one. I learned a lot.
