The most important rookie mistake: Not slapping the dice when about to go on a mission 🎲🎲
Indeed.
You must have the blessing of the great dice gods in any risky venture.
Snakeeyes....ROCK AND STONE BROTHER!
I always slap them for good luck whenever I enter or exit the pod.
Always slap dice it is an ancient ritual of the dwarves
8:10 Remember: Pots o' Gold only applies bonus gold from mining it with the pickaxe.
Bosco, Thin Containment Field implosion, C4, or other terrain manipulation to break it free will not provide this bonus.
Correct
Just found this out yesterday. I've been had XD
Update: it now applies to Bosco.
@@TwiliPaladin On the Experimental branch?
Here's a tip, don't jump in front of the dwarf with a big gun, I've noticed as gunner that for some reason teammates seem to gravitate in front of my gum
I think new players don't register that friendly fire is a thing.
The Gunner has the right of way
Thats because it's the safest area in the cave!
because you can't see behind yourself to know if you are strafing into the gunner's line of fire. most enemies are melee so mobility is the name of the game rather than cover and firing lines...
in games like this it's actually the job of the shooter to check their fire =P
@@entropicflux8849its the job of both. One interrupts in case the other gotta walk a bit. Also, gunners projectiles are many and bright. You definately see them if you are anywhat suited to shooters.
Was in a mining mission with 3 lone-wolves. It was terrible. Everyone kept calling Molly from opposite ends of the map. The mule ended up pacing back and forth across the middle of the map, never quite reaching one player before another player called it.
Stick together!
Oh god, that is so frustrating, this game is all about team work and some people just aren't cut out for playing with others, sadly. Thanks for watching.
Or just have some patience. Or meet up with one of the players so you can both unload at the same time.
But yeah, it's a game about teamwork. Sticking together is primary. :P
You mean 4 lone wolves? If you were also alone it means you didn’t follow anyone lol.
@@RealNaisuCinema damn you got rekt bro L L L L
@@txxvictorious4120 huh
I take the no dwarf left behind rule very seriously. If you are downed or left behind you can bet I’m coming back for you.
Great to hear that! Rock and stone brother!
Yeah either we all make it or I'll be one of the ones downed, best believe im getting my boys on the pod or dying trying
I mean if they didn't Rock and Stone, they ain't coming home XD
So far I’ve had to leave people behind only once, pretty new still but
It was my first haz four mission, the extraction wave was insane, it had mactera plague and lethal enemies I believe, we just had one person consistently up, if one got picked up the reviver went down, two people had fallen through the same hole right before the pod that was deep enough to trap you for a bug to kill you but not super deep. Me and the driller were running through a hole he’d dug before coming back for me (so we’d have a straight shot) and he was fighting what was ahead while I fought what was behind, he fell in the same hole but I made the jump, I wanted so badly to go for them but it was filled with bugs, I was out of my zip lines and my shields from saving people, and I had like a minute left, so I would have had to dig manually, fight whatever was in there, and pick them up without getting hit like once and there were mactera everywhere. I decided it was best if I didn’t risk it, because I had almost no chance as a green beard to pull it off, but it still felt terrible
@@narfdc2043It’s hard when you are forced to leave a dwarf behind, it always hurts to make this decision. Rock and Stone for our fallen miners
One more tip with bosco: on extract missions where you have to set up pipes to refine liquid morkite, bosco can build the pipes. Just place them all the way to the pump, then order bosco to build the pipe. He’ll build the whole thing while you start on the next one.
Yeah good tip, for some reason in all my time playing before I'd made this video I never even realised it, just shows how even experienced players still have room to learn. Cheers
I actually never knew that, thank you
Also don't forget a properly upgraded engineering platform negates fall damage. Just worth mentioning. Any good enginner can lay out those landing pads. That the scout will then ignore.
Thanks for watching and the suggestion.
It's important remember that it won't _negate_ it just _reduce_ it. A lot of the time it reduces it to/below zero damage, but you can still take damage landing on one
To that end, consider occasionally throwing one or two under high ziplines or near likely drop-offs to make traversal easier and safer for everyone. Plats can be used for much, much more than just throwing under mineral deposits.
Seriously, as a scout main I'm always infinitely grateful when engies do this 😍
@@SoFarSoGoodSoWhat14Everyone who plays scout in any capacity is eternally grateful for this act
Couple that came to mind while I was watching:
1 - as you buy weapon upgrades, it fills in the little cells below that unlock new cosmetics, but if you buy upgrades for your armour, you unlock actual buffs, +health etc, so if you're struggling to stay alive, think about putting some points into your armour first instead of weapons
2 - scout is a good class to learn with, as his team doesn't rely on him for his traversal, since only he can use it
3 - no dwarf left behind!
Good suggestions.
the best class to start with honestly depends on your level or experience with fps games. scout is really good all around, absolutely, but for someone with little to no experience with games like this (aka me) i honestly recommend driller. driller's flamethrower doesnt really need precise aiming and his drills mean drop pod panic basically isnt an issue so its better for players newer to the genre as a whole. this is purely anecdotal though, and scout is an equally valid pick
A tip I would add is to get accustomed to sound! A lot of special glyphids have unique sounds that act as a warning, same way L4D's special infected do. I cannot tell you how much better I got after I committed menace, grabber, and stingtail boises to memory. It can really make a difference and prevent you from getting yeeted into a chasm, gunned down by puke, or spirited away to Narnia
Good tip!
the stingtail is the most recognizable que for me. though the my rarely spawn in my runs
Yah, the drop pod panick is what hits me the hardest as a new player. I also don't know how to triangulate myself in large maps, so it's always a pain when the pod is based in an upper level.
When I was a new player I had that too, but now I just play as the Driller class, with the driller it's almost impossible to not get to the drop pod as long as you resupply your drills before the pod is called in. Just drill in a straight line to the pod and you and your team can get home without all the environmental aggro or aliens chipping away at you. Cheers
@@PlayGames_PG yeah i played engy my first few missions before realising that with driller i can skip all the drop pod issues. thats my main now haha
Thanks for promoting the good teammate philosophy that makes for a better community. Rock and stone 🤘🏽
No worries Jonathan, I'd say most of the community are team players but it is always good to promote working together. Cheers
To me it is worth grabbing all minerals in a mission as the xp is 100% worth it, I have put 7 months into this game and already have a legendary 1 promoted dwarf.
I guess it depends from dwarf to dwarf what you prioritise. Cheers
@PhotographyGamer Also, if you leave behind even a single ore, you aren't a dwarf, you are a leaf-lover.
Here are some simple tips that a beginner might not know
1. Ping anything of importance whether you have a team or not because this helps identify priority targets like nitra, materials, or tough enemies.
2. Use your power attack to save ammo since it is essentially a free kill on a grunt but it can also help against enemies weak to melee like oppressors which take significant damage from melee.
3. I advise taking the normal tunnels blocked by dirt instead of giant holes next to spawn since those tunnels contain easily obtainable resources and allow you a easy path to spawn if needed.
4. Do not use actual credits or materials on shop cosmetics especially since there is a resource with no other purpose but to buy cosmetics called Phazyonite.
5. Focus on perk slots before any other perks and get thorns and resupplier since those are as basic as bread for a reason. (THEY ARE INSANELY USEFUL DO NOT SLEEP ON THOSE 2)
6. Engineers should use platforms under high up minerals since scouts can grapple to them.
7. Keep an eye on your tools and weapons when you aren't in danger so you can always use something when you need it.
If anyone asks I made the mistake of skipping thorns and resupplier and that is why I don't want you to skip them like I did.
Thanks for the ideas, I think the best thing about this game is everyone finds their style or the things they will prioritise, thanks for pointing out your ones.
ALWAYS bring at least one barrel with you, bonus points if you get a barrel in all four seats
It drives me insane when people don't mine ALL of something.
Yeah, maybe on the lower difficulty it isn't as bad but when it's a high risk mission is just puts you in the danger zone for longer than you need to be there!
Correction: spend all your resources on cosmetics. In DRG, it's drip or die.
Correction: Do whatever you want in DRG, this is a guide based on what I do. Thanks!
Hey! Dont forget to upgrade your armor suit as early as possible. It gives you more hp
Yeah, always helps.
All of the upgrades, in fact. Each milestone gives increased health, usually in 5's or 10's, but every bit helps
I guess it's understandable that some says it's better to speed run the mission instead of full explore. True for some players they have their reaons. There're player lvl 1000+ vets, every cosmetics unlocked - of course they don't need anything from lost gear or cargo crate. And there're sweaty gamers, running haz 5 only as a warm up for modded haz 6 missions - it's true on high haz level time is crucial, every extra minute wasted means more and more bugs will spawn and more ammo used. But as the title suggest, this is more of a beginner thing - for player just try out DRG, playing on haz 2 or 3. They don't have any cosmetics or good enough to speedrun.
Good points, but I think if you are joining another team you don't get the final say, if you want to rush through a mission do your own one and host it. But they join others to get cheap XP boosts without putting in the ground work. Thanks for watching.
I have about 16 hours on DRG on steam which obviously isn't enough to get much knowledge as many things you mentioned in this video I didn't know, except for type of guys who waste ammo cause that's me xD. Great video btw.
I've probably done between 200-300 hours on PC/PS4/Xbox to date. It takes time to learn all the aspects of the game and how to get ahead, but it's fun along the way for sure. Cheers
Thank you! Really helpful vid!
*>Has 1k hours in DRG...*
Thanks for watching.
I have seen one crassus detonator in my life and I’m thankful for that team. We took advantage.
When I started playing I didn't see many, I think it's random but I see more lately for sure. Thanks for watching.
I found one crassus detonator and very much so underestimated it's health and was playing with green beard
Dont forget the most important tip...
Spam ping the big mushrooms and compressed gold.
We're rich!
@@PlayGames_PG We're rich!
never felt so welcomed played with a french fellow very nice i almost team miles him with my c4 he laughed and said all good man 🤣even the kid i was playing with was helpful i see my self playing this game a lot
Most of the community are really positive and playful, you will always get those players who are just XP addicts and don't work well with others but for the most part I found the community amazing.
Last night I played solo drill mission and I've encountered a crassus detonator right at the start. I was so grateful for Bosco mining the golden ceiling I couldn't get to, and that I haven't started up the drill until I have mined all gold. I love this game.
Bosco can be very helpful if you fancy going solo, makes those hard to reach minerals so much easier to get.
Damn number 8 hit home. Last game I spent so many ammo on a friendly spider 🤣🤣
haha, we've all done it!
Not Steve
Spider?
I apologise. Not spider, but Steve 🤣
Cheers lad, there are a good couple tips here that I didn’t think about, good video!
No worries, thanks for watching and commenting.
Greybeard here. Verticality continues to be a problem with us too.
Indeed, never take the verticality of a level for granted, the drop pod will make you pay, even us grey beards! Rock and Stone!
2:05 "won't be such a problem" my ass, i've seen lvl 300+ players spending resupplies after every single swarm on haz 3 & 4 and STILL require a double-dip
Well, one thing you can't control is what players you end up with, I'd always recommend playing with mates to avoid such things.
rule number 1, DO NOT join multiplayer if you're not getting the hang of the game or at least level 12 on the same class !
I have to disagree with that, teaching newbs the ropes is one of the most fun parts of the game, because someone did it for you too. Thanks for watching.
i also notice people not collecting any nitra or anything while on an escort mission
I think people get worried that the dozer will be left unguarded, you need a team that communicates on that mission to make sure someone is always doing some defence.
when i play with randoms they're the exact opposite of u...they call drop pods when other players are not ready, never wait for anyone and rush to the drop pod themselves, disappearing into nowhere while I was covering their asses. even when im hosting. Idk why people say the player base of drg is not toxic. that combined with the amt of times i was kicked out right before the end of a mission tell a diff story.
btw im in east asia, fewer servers i think(even fewer ppl speak english). maybe that explains my poor experience w public matches, idk.
I think like most games there is a degree of randomness to who you get matched with. I think in my hundreds of hours of play I've had 2/3 trolling incidents, mostly it has been great. Thanks for watching.
It's really sad you're having such an experience in Asia. That's not how I know DRG.
After 2800 successful missions I've maybe encountered 20-30 very 'angry' people, but that's about it. Even kicks for fresh Greenbeards are rare. They will go down, you will pick them up and you will Rock & Stone together every time. They might even learn to provide platforms. :D
I remember a Driller who'd occasionally C4 the floor in Magma Core, which is stupid and he knew that. He was still a good Driller and the mission went fine. That's honestly the only time I recall being trolled in DRG.
I don't know how anyone could play this, press "V" and not get that sense of comradery.
I very rarely run into toxic players in the higher difficulties, haz 4 and such. When I play Haz 3, I run into more chucklefucks but they either shape up or don't last, I figure because this game isn't fun when you're not playing with the team and not being a team player makes everything much, much harder for yourself. If you aren't Chad Killington, the harder difficulties punish you hard for sloppy teamwork. The game itself tends to filter them out.
East Asia? Make friends with Aussies, mate. They suck less.
The worst are scouts who freeze nade you, and drillers who cryo freeze you right at the end..... While still on the fuckin ramp, i truly, and deeply despise drillers and scouts for this reason, and scouts more so cuz when it comes time for evac, they just fuck off and let the team die then say "well i made it why couldnt you guys?"
I once watched a newbie empty his entire gatling gun clip into my guard steeve WHILE I WAS PETTING HIM.
Also, at the end of the game, we were all close to dying. He got downed about 50m away from the drop pod, and i went back to get him, and i got downed after getting him up, and he had the AUDACITY to abandon me.
Shocking!
Good tips for the greenbeards! Rock and stone!
Rock and stone!
Thanks, seeing as season 2 just launched thought a bunch of new players might drop on board.
Rock and Stone brother!
That's not just "a bug". That's Steve you are talking about
Steve is the best!
2:18 engineer has a gun that makes it so you can shoot right behind a dwarf at an enemy and not cause friendly fire
Just need to tell all the other dwarves that now haha
I don't know if anyone else gets this vibe but this game is like a Sea of Thieves but with Dwarves. I just started playing and am really liking it.
Very different games but both are good fun in multiplayer.
Background music makes this feel like Resident Evil lol
haha
I’ve promoted all my dwarves 3 times each and I still mine extra morkite every now and then, I don’t really have an excuse for it :/
haha, good work brother! I kind of gave up on the Promotions after a few, didn't see any point as the promo resources can be used to upgrade or buy other stuff. Would be good if the devs added some real benefits for becoming multiple level promotion, like having a drop pod button veto option to stop other players ending your mission early.
@@PlayGames_PG 👀
*16* mistakes, *15* fixes, in a *14* minute video.
With 13 beers drunk while making it.
Drillers & Engineers: We dont talk about Number 5! (throws C4 and Fat Mans)
Thanks for watching.
Never take another dwarfs ammo on deep dives.
The ammo is a shared resource, it isn't yours, that's a solo mentality. Be a team player.
I got my roommate drg last night and all he wants to do is kick the barrels in the bar mini game. Also when on missions he takes all the fucking ammo. Like he used up 3 supply drop things in 1 minute cuz he was “low on ammo.” So is everyone else. Make sure everyone gets their share before you steal their share
In time they will understand the ways!
The most important rookie mistake: not *ROCK ‘N STONE-ING* back
I never understand when you play with others and you Rock'n Stone them and they just stand there, shocking Dwarvery!
Rookie mistake: not spamming the V key.
Number 19: Do the richual whenever possible
Thanks for watching.
I thought I was useless as a driller, until I met scouts.
haha
Biggest rookie/greenbeard mistake...
Not Rocking and Stoning
Oh my god, I know right! The other day I hosted a mission with 3 green beards, one just got to the drop pod, sat there and refused to rock and stone while I tried desperately to save the other two, what is that all about! ha
@@PlayGames_PG That's a ban-able/kick-able offense right there.
Leave no dwarf behind brothers!
Oh also remember to Rock and Stone
Rock and Stone to the bone!
For all greenbeards i recommended dash (on the perk tree)
Good choice! Rock n Stone!
@@PlayGames_PG if this where any other game there would've been an argument, the beauty of deep rock
4:54 the worst error ever
Agreed
Thx and good video
Cheers
Mining every little piece of everything is a death sentence. Yes it kills your OCD. You know what also kills? Not finishing the mission and taking your loot with you. Level up miners. Don't fall for this first tip.
Alas it appears you have missed the point. I said mining the resources that are linked to the mission success, not every resource. Listen next time, you'll learn something. Rock and Stone!
Great tips! Next time try to get game footge that matches what you're talking about though! Most of the tips you mentioned were said during footage of random things happening, which doesn't add anything to the narration.
Thank you! Why such a nit picker? Cheer up
@@PlayGames_PG It is actually important, it makes your content go from a glorified podcast to an actual video.
What's your opinion on the new season 2 content PG ?
Too early to say, I've only dipped in the other day with a mate. But will spend a few days next week looking into it. I like the fact they added a new mineral that can buy stuff in the store without spending normal creds/minerals. The cosmetic tree/100 level stuff seems the same, but can't comment on the new weapons or assignments yet. Cheers
Remember to Look Up to see the Cave Leeches.
Wise words!
deadass thought it was pornography gamer
haha different channel I think :D

Scouts light up the area so people can see better!
:D I play scout :D
Not all scouts, just the good ones.
3:30
Wtf you can hitch a ride on those things?!
Indeed you can!
Nitra is life - me (a gunner main)
Rock and Stone!
my team.... never slaps the dice before going down, I fear this disrespect will carry into our mission leading to our deaths. Sad days indeed WHATS NEXT! NO DRINKIN baah back in my day.............................
That is shocking, they cannot be true dwarves, must have some Elvish in them! Rock and Stone!
Wish I played with you or likeminded players. I usually draw the selfish non team player kinds that make this game not so fun for me.
Yeah, over time I've made friends with a few good team players but I agree there are a lot of XP chasers out there!
What rank are you? In rank 1798 and try to do the mission as fast as you can! I'm more like a lone wolf 🐺
I've played it on Steam, Xbox and PS4 huge amounts so my overall rank is lower. Thanks for watching.
To No.5: youncan install no friendly fire mod if you dislike friendly fire (like i do)
Thanks for the info.
YOU FORGOT THE MODT IMPORTANT RULE;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"ROCK AND STONE"
OR YOU AIN'T COMING HOME!
11:27 and you even KNOW the rule but you still didn't list it. Shame, shame, shame!
Some things are unspoken rules haha if you know you know ;)
Lesson one, comment after watch the entire guide. Rock and Stone brother!
@@PlayGames_PG I actually had already watched it once, I just went back and watched again for the time stamp because I had seen that clip and was waiting to see if it was mentioned. Karl wouldn't be pleased. But I'm not Karl and I forgive you. ROCK AND STONE SHORTIES!
I hope season 3 adds something new, perhaps Karl has gone freelance and working for the Space Elves? Maybe that's what's controlling these pesky robots? Say it ain't so Karl! :D
Sooooo nobody‘s gonna talk about that he odered a leaf lovers special at 7:3o? … Just me? ok
Don't pretend you've never done it, let go of the regret ;)
What kind of music is that?
Which track? Details in the description.
@@PlayGames_PG No, not what its called but what kind that is. It sounds like the kind of hypnotising ambience you expect in a movie just befor the unsuspecting investigator falls victim to the serial killer's trap. What most confuses me, is that it spans the entire length of the video instead of highlighting the biggest mistakes.
1. No. Wasting time for minimal returns means you actually spend longer in the caves and are thus more likely to run out of ammo and fail.
Can't agree with you there, but you already knew that. Thanks for watching.
"Wasting Credits and Resources on stuff you don't need"
*shows the Cosmetic Shop*
AHEM!
_Excuse me!_ Fancy hats and Blinging beards happen to be EXTREMELY IMPORTANT for the full DRG experience! You are just shooting yourself in he foot (and your team by extension) if you opt out of shilling for the proper drip!
You know what I mean, thanks for watching.
Me who’s only played with infinite ammo cheats
Thanks for watching.
I don’t really agree with the first one because 0.1 of a mineral is so small and not worth your time.
Thanks for sharing.
If you leave even a single crumb of ore behind, can you even call yourself a dwarf?
Rock and stone
Thank you for watching.
We're rich!
Thanks for watching.
Getting out of your pod in a 5 star in order "to leave no dwarf behind" is an awful habit. Not a good one
The team comes first, always.
@@PlayGames_PG pointless RP. You save only when you can or else it's not worth wasting everybody's time.. That's pretty common knowledge in DRG
Only child hey, look out for yourself first. Good luck
@@iluvatarchem What part about 'no dwarf left behind' has you confused? If a teammates down, I either get them back or die with them.
@@SunnyGaming3710 You are saying it wrong. Here's the correct way:
"If a teammate is down, I either get them back or waste 30 minutes of everyone's time".
Here fixed it for you.
And he forgets the most important rule.
HAVE FUN. Everything else is second to that. It's a game people that is its purpose.
If having fun is a rule you've got too many rules my friend, lighten up, it's only a youtube video, go get some fresh air.
Those are least base how can you even complete a mission
Like either you really bad at video games or you only play single haz 1or2 mission
