Me on my way to watch another video telling me to play the game i have 410 hours in:

I swear the reason the DRG community is so nice is because of the V key, how many games can you think of that have a dedicated button for expressing positivity?

Deep Rock Galactic dev here! Really glad you enjoyed the game. Rock & Stone!

Quick tip: if you are hosting a deep dive, keep in mind that people can't join once it's started. So the people you start with are the people you finish with if they don't leave, no more. Also, the missions for each dive get posted every week once they're out on reddit and discord so you can plan accordingly.

Remember all content from previous seasons goes into normal loot pools. So if you started now you've got at least three or four years of content sitting in chests to find.

I'm really tired of mission control telling me that Barrel-chan can't come with me on missions.

To anyone who watches, I just want to say thank you, I hope you enjoyed the content. I am happy to report, I have beat a deep dive. ROCK AND STONE!

I know you're overly critical on yourself, so I want you to know that you are putting out grade a quality content right now. I know you put a LOT of thought into the changes you made, and they are blatantly paying off for the best. You're doing an amazing job and I am SO happy I'm here to experience this chapter.

I love how much attention DRG is getting recently I’m all for it this is the best co op game on steam ROCK AND STONE

Also a fun fact, if you miss any cosmetic stuff it's not lost you just have to find them in supply crates

Picked it up a few years ago but only started playing recently as I heard the community was nice. I can attest to that, in a few games I saw: many veterans just casually reviving me after the nth time without complaining, or taking the time to explain some objectives, or doing most of the hard work as I get distracted by something in game or them going back half a map to revive another teammate so we could all leave together just shows how much the people here are.

I only discovered it a few months ago and its been the greatest thing thats ever happened in my life, not even the birth of my firstborn son will come close to discovering deep rock galactic

Dude got supercooling chamber as his first overclock. He doesn’t know how lucky he is

7:52 you can click the hexagons at the season event bonus to claim scraps

Eyy, nice to have you aboard, greenbeard! It's so great to new DRG videos recommended to me on KZfaq. I have nearly 2k hours into Deep Rock Galactic and it is still so much fun! Best of luck on your future deep dives. The Elite Deep Dive is really tough, but I know you can do it with time! May Karl bless you with your to-be-favorite overclocks! Finding the right overclock can help you get that boost in power. ROCK AND STONE!

Great video, definitely notice the effort in the editing. What made me fall in love --like head over heels-- with DRG? After my friend helped me complete those tutorial assignments I was feeling it, but then a few days later I wanted to play and he wasn't on. I decided to try hosting the lobby, thinking to myself "oh I'll probably be hanging out with Bosco for the next few matches." Nope. Hazard 3, filled instantly. We played out my assignments and bid eachother farewell. Next day, same thing. And the day after. I could do all my assignments, and since player assignments can overlap I always had these random dwarves joining in and helping me finish. Truly an amazing cooperative experience.

ROCK AND STONE BROTHER!! I must say that you captured the game quite well in this video. Most people who make videos telling their viewers to buy DRG usually already have hundreds of hours of mining on Hoxxes, but you didn't when you made the video and you already told your viewers to go buy DRG. And I'm happy you did, this tells me that, not only do you enjoy the game a lot, but you are on your way to become a full blown graybeard in no time my dude. I'd be up for that Deep Dive if you need someone to fill out the team. Rock and Stone my friend, Rock and Stone.

I never thought a game would make me feel like this, but Deep Rock Galactic is such an amazing game that makes me feel dirty for getting it at a discount instead of buying it at full price.

It would take me way too long to list all of the positive aspects of DRG so I’ll just say this: to anyone who’s on the fence, it’s a hidden gem and one that you should experience 👍

You can save scum promotions to get specific overclocks. I did it for special powder, zooming around the caves at 100 mph now. Also haz 4 is easy you just need a good gunner/engi with an aoe loadout for the million grunts and a sniper scout to kill the specialty mobs. Cryo nade and 5 m1000 shots kill a prea in 2 seconds but pheros can make an entire flank not your problem for 15 seconds

Let's go lad, Did play a few hours of this game and had a great time with it. Need to get back to it at some point

A very important note about the season pass. Anything you don't unlock before the next season is just moved into other loot pools in the game. For example, this season, on the pass at tier 97, has a blue hair colour. If you don't get that, before the next season, _you can still end up finding it elsewhere._ you aren't missing out on any cosmetics in the long run if you don't complete the season stuff The difficulty of deep dives increases per stage. The regular one is 3>3.5>4, and the elite is 4.5>5>5.5. The rewards are a blank core, an overclock core, and a cosmetic core given per stage in that order (stage 1 gives the blank, etc) Good luck on your next deep dive attempt, go make Karl proud. Rock and Stone to the bone!

Incredible video Zane!!! Rock and Stone Forever!!! Love this game! I am definitely going to dive back into this game after watching this video, it has been awhile since I have played it.

you dont buy drg, somebody beats you up in a dark alley saying you are a pointy eared leaf lover and then drg appears in your steam library

We started playing DRG at the same time, even somehow have the same favorite class, and I knew from the first three missions I played that it was gonna be good. I used it to correct an abysmal sleep schedule I had going on the first night I installed it. I had woken up at 4pm and started the game up around 9-10pm. Played it until 6pm the next day. The last game I found to be good enough to play for 20 hours straight was Risk of Rain 2. This is a gem, a once in a generation classic.

I've thought so many times about getting into this but never have. Might have too now

7:50 please tell me they know they have to claim the season event bonus scrips above the season challenges by clicking on them after they get 6 plaguehearts... Oh lord if they miss out on those scrips for cosmetics I'll be so sad.

Some of the POGGIEST things in DRG (not in a specific order): - "Special Powder" on Scout's shotty - 5 "FAT BOY" nuke launcher on Engineer - "Roller Coaster Tycoon Simulator" - Modded content (Like 8 (or more) person Elite Deep Dive or "Oops! All Bulks!" pub) - "ROCK AND STONE!"

Rock and Stone ! almost 2000 hours under my belt, and I still love watching reviews for the game lol. Congrats on your Deep Dive success btw.

Rock and Stone brother, welcome to the mines ! I have like 700h now in this game and nothing to unlock anymore besides when new season swings around but i still play it almost daily anyways cause its just a fun game ! (If you ever get bored of the game i would suggest checking out the mods for this game, they can really refresh the feeling. There are a lot that are just cosmetic/client side but that are QoL as well as approved mods that alter the gameplay but are still allowed to progress on a regular save ! And then Sandbox mods that require a seperate save but can be really crazy things and alter the gameplay and progression a lot)

13:01 dont let management hear you saying that sappy shit. Rock and stone, brother.

Me: oh boy cant wait to do my first deep dive! my first drop: the droppod lands on a nemesis

I’m 43. Legit couldn’t remember the last time I turned on game and felt like a little kid. First time out of the drop pod, I look around and just smile IRL. Then bugs hit me. This game is truly special.

This is the first DRG video I've come across. You've convinced me to buy it, and it's on sale right now on Steam for $9.89 USD, until August 17th. Also, I subbed to you, I dig your style.

"I don't know how many hours I'm gonna get out of drg" DRG is the ONLY time-sink game I've played that I don't regret... all 850hrs of it. ROCK AND STONE, BROTHERS

elite deep dive is like haz 5,5 ( i think that was confirmed by devs) . its reeeeeeeeeeealy hard i have 510 hours in the game and its still hard lol . dont be afraid to do deep dives (and elite) for each mision (out of the 3) you get a core so even if you fail you get stuff also some overclocks go really crazy . for example : as engineer you can get for your grenade launcher overclock that makes it lyterali portable nuke launcher . or theres one that makes it sniper rifle with HUGE weakpoint dmg overclocks really unlock the build making , some weapon perks you wouldnt normali even look at make sense with some overclocks

I am so glad you enjoy this game! I have about 400 hours in this game and absolutely love it. Rock and stone brother ⛏️

My brother and I just started playing this game only yesterday since DRG is on sale for like 10 bucks, and I gotta say DRG is one of the only games I would be completely fine with paying full price for, so much content, and so much fun! and has one of the best communities I have ever seen, I'm kinda mad at myself for not trying this game sooner, super excited to get more addicted to this game man. ROCK AND STONE!!!!

16:55 "there hasn't been any griefing" This guy hasn't played with enough drillers.

Beat my first deep dive pretty easily after I learnt how it works and failing on the first stage for the first time. Was with a buddy of mine and we played as scoot and engi. But yeah man. Stuff is hard. I tried an elite but got absolutely smashed on the second stage. Was quite hard tbh.

Highly recommend trying out each of the classes and promoting them all at least once. I also started out as an engineer main, and still am, but it's easier to be helpful to the team knowinf what each classes goals are. Another side note, iron will is a great peek. Hope you keep enjoying the game!

youtube just recommended me. Welcome to my favorite game!!! Don't do elite deep dive till you are comfortable on 4s. Unless you want hilarity, cause its funny af even if you are mowing them down. I have 44 days in mission time. 1056 hours. I have max promotions on 1, with 2 others coming very soon. It is just so damn addicting. I'm on all the time man. Set your server name in your options to be something custom, maybe mention your channel. Then, to be anonymous, just change it to something else. Dont be afraid to join haz 3 servers. Most groups in 3s end up with someone experienced who could carry it all if they had to. So you are gonna make it. And what if you dont? Play the game more. Its basic math. I'll help you through a deep dive man. Assuming I find you. That crap is fun. Rock and stone, brother!

I noticed you only had one weapon for each slot for the engi. Wait till you see the other 4! (that goes for the other classes but engi all the way). Another thing looking is thosw plaguehearts you collected you have extra scrip if u click on the red in the little dna strand. Unless they are collected then mb ;-;

I got DRG when it launched out of EA in 2020. I really wanted to try it before then but had a lot on my plate at the time. I can say it is without a doubt one of the absolute gems, easily in my top 10 favorite games of all time. I've put nearly 300 hours into it. The community are a bunch of hilarious memesters and when you get sick of all your involved narrative driven games and competitive games it's nice to sit back with a drink in hand and mine some minerals with the homies. It's the kind of game you can put down and pick back up again then spend all weekend doing missions back to back and going on Deep Dives. Ghost Ship is one of my favorite developers just because of how serious they take "Made by gamers, for gamers." DRG is just FUN. There's no predatory monetization behavior. There's no FOMO. No grinding. It's all about being in the moment. Just a bunch of dwarves creating chaos and spamming "WE'RE RICH" Rich indeed Miners. Rich indeed.

Fun fact stuff in the season tree will end up as normal drops after the season closes.

My man, the entire world does not stay at 5 in the morning along with america

There is some magic in feeling like a real professional on real team of professionals getting shit done.

Sweet as intro into techno montage. ROCK AND STONE!!

If you don’t Rock and Stone, you ain’t coming home!

You forgot to mention the music. The music is bangin'! Fighting off a massive swarm while listening to those tasty jams never gets old to me. Rock and Roll and Stone!!

Been playing it with the VR mod which is mind-blogging AMAZING! It's free and if you have an HMD is a must-play imo. ROCK AND STONE BROTHERS!

Best co-op game for sure. It's funny how your team can wipe within two minutes of landing when you play on hazard level 3-5, if you happen to aggro a hole big caveful. And to all of you who don't want to kill loot bugs: Once you leave those caves empty of minerals, they will slowly starve to death. So killing them quickly is a good option. Rock and stone!

Rock and Stone brother! I hope you beat a deep dive since you posted this video, I have yet to do one yet

Would like to remind everyone that DRG has not won the Labor of Love award, but Cyberpunk did. Remember not in anger, fellow dwarves, but for victory in the future.

We live in a society where engineer drg gets compared to torbjorn overwatch and not engineer tf2

I enjoy your honest style of game reviews, I hope more will be created.

Welcome to board greenbeard! Rock and Stone!

Deep Dive - you get awarded a core after each mission - blank core, overclock, and cosmetic I think you also unlock Elite Deep Dive after completing your first Deep Dive. Another thing worth noting is the difficulty - Regular Deep Dive: Starts at Hazard 3 for mission one and gets a little bit harder each mission, but doesn't quite reach hazard 4 - There will be 2 warning total across the three missions. Elite Deep Dive: Starts at slightly above Hazard 4 and progresses to slightly _above_ hazard 5 - there will be 2 or 3 warnings total across the 3 missions. BTW after selecting the Deep Dive you can press escape and see the mission parameters. On the escape screen you can also check your loadout and perks at any time (even mid mission) by clicking the ammo icon in the lower right. I use this alot when I forget what perks I have equipped or what weapon mods.

Ah my favorite horde shooter. The game where the lobby is more entertaining than some AAA titles. And yes, Bosco is awesome. Even salutes you when you rock and stone. Best AI companion ever made

Welcome aboard greenbeard! Rock and stone!

You forgot to mention the dedicated salute button.

That first mission earns your first grey hair on way to no longer being a green beard. Welcome aboard miner.

I feel like you made this whole video just to deliver that living under a rock joke lol

Cool video! I have around 500 hours and it was interesting to see a newbies POV. I dont think thefirst 10 missions are a tutorial tho. And you didn't collect scrips in the BP(season event bonus part)

I would highly recommend checking out the many qol mods available for the game. A couple that I believe should be in the base game are weapon heat crosshair and platform placement preview. Any mod that is in the verified category can be used at all times and are client side only, theres a ton of great mods out there.

Great video! Rock and Stone to the bone!!

3:25 "Scout has a flare gun" Shows footage of cheese gun. Ahh yes, Engineer, the most Scoutiest of Scouts.

ROCK AND STONE BROTHER! Great video btw

The obligatory "we're rich" ping-bang lol

1:17 no its just they don’t spend all the money on advertising and instead on actually making the game good relying on word of mouth and a few trailers that they did put out to get the word out

And some of those negative ratings are people not cutting the developers some slack because they didn’t release another massive update after like 3 massive updates

Why does everyone think of the Engineer as Torb isn't he closer to Engie from tf2 I mean you have to manually refill the turrets with ammo just like Engie does? Torbs turret never needs ammo refills.

Deep Dives aren't the only way to get Matrix Cores required for overclocks! I highly recommend playing at least once a week, and doing the "Weekly Core Hunt" assignment. Grants you a blank, weapon, and cosmetic core similar to how the Deep Dive does.

It's so cool seeing wvery KZfaqr on the planet and their gran realising the glory of this game all within the space of a few months seemingly

DRG is like being on a hard drugs. You can kind of just forget all the horrors of reality, and go mining on another planet as a dwarf who drinks lots of beer and makes Mission Control mad all the time.

Today I have: Played the Deep Rock Galactic board game. Played Deep Rock on steam. Watched this video about Deep Rock. I hope Karl would be proud.

Ah... I see you've learned the pinging ritual. You will go far on hoxxes. Rock N Stone!

I’ve been playing for about 3 months now and i finally convinced my friends to get this game so now I have a squad to play with and the games more fun than ever

I have like 500 hours in the game and I still havent even leveled my driller. Not that I dont want to play driller I just love my scout and engineer

2:58 usually I use the Zipline to be in the air and not take much damage and provide supporting fire for missions like point extraction and refining missions

It took me and my friends like 20 hours to notice the perk tree

Great video 🤘

Welcome to Space Rig 17, Miner. Grey Beard here. Rock and Stone.

Crazy? I was crazy once. They put me in a cave. A dark cave. A dark cave with alien bugs. And bugs make me crazy.

I was in a similar situation. I never heard of drg but I saw some people on my friend's list playing it a lot. Then one day they gifted the game to me and I got into it. A side note. It's probably a side effect of playing Final Fantasy all my life but whenever I see DRG my brain is wired to assume they mean Dragoon.

“If you Rock and Stone you’re never alone.” After close to 800 hours in DRG I can say it certainly is worth paying full price plus dlc expenses.

when you said it took you 8 hours for the first assignment, in my mind i heard a vine boom.

Welcome Miner! The truth is out there, so is the gold.

Dude missed Mods hehehe Sharpen your pickaxe there's a lot to do in these caves. Rock and Stone!

Rock and Stone brother !

New DRG person! Rock and stone, miner, we salute you!

Anyone who reads this: BUY THIS GAME! the community is the best community in all of gaming, it's the best coop game ever made, and it's fun af. Easily my fav game. The only thing we ask of you is to PLAY YOUR ROLE: you will get much better much faster and help the team if you know what yiure supposed to do. For example, if youre scout, dont focus on swarms of enemies. Instead you need to take out threats like spitballers and acid spitters. You also need to focus on nitra. If you're an engineer, dont go pick axing for resources in a room until you scan it to platform for your scout and put down your turrets. Once your a greybeard these rules can be broken of course but the trick of the game is efficiency. These are good habits to get into hazard 4 and below. Lastly, pay respect to Karl.

I'll look for your discord next thing after the comment and help out with deep dives, I guess a lot of new players now also join your server and could need some guidance

"From Overwatch" *Angry Texan noises*

Just wait til you start collecting all those juicy overclocks.

Elite Deep Dive is hazard 4.5, 5, 5.5 difficulty missions. Id auggest you fully unlock your ideal survival build for the long haul. Ammo gets tight.

Great video and what was the music in the beginning ?

I have experienced the same thing, currently one month in and have accumulated over 100 hours.' Rock and Stone

Rock and stone brotha!

Rock and stone miner. Welcome to the mine
