Hello Miners,

Over the past year, our community has been creating their own in-game challenges, each week bringing a new challenge with self-imposed rules and creative twists that change how you play the game. Examples include: “Kinetic Bounce” - complete a run only using kinetic weapons, “Beyblades” - drones only, or “Naked Beams” - only use beam weapons (sooo many beams!)

What started as a couple of fun wacky ideas shared on Discord has grown into something much bigger. You’ve proven that the game can be played in so many more ways, with new strategies, pure chaos, and insane runs!

To everyone who has created a challenge, streamed a wild run, or just joined in: Thank you! The passion that we see from all of you gives us energy and inspires us to keep pushing for more.
Fun fact: Community challenges were actually a big source of inspiration for our “Lethal Operations” and “Vanguard Contracts”.

If you’ve never seen these challenges before, now’s the time! Join our Discord and check out the challenge announcements[discord.gg] channel to explore past challenges and join new ones. Pssst...psst.... the next challenge is going to be Celebrate with a Bang . Keep an eye out on the channel for more info.

Here’s to many more crazy challenges and epic runs! Keep creating and sharing, we’ll be watching (… and probably failing a few challenges ourselves.)

Hello Miners,

Welcome back to our sneak peek series for the 1.0 release of Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor! In this second installment, we’re turning the spotlight on the Engineer class and its class mod visuals: Maintenance Worker, Tinkerer, and Demolitionist.

These new looks aim to give each class mod a stronger visual identity, so whether you’re patching up your turrets, optimizing gadgets, or blowing things sky-high, your equipment will look the part. Like with all class mod skins in 1.0, these are automatically unlocked when you acquire the class.

We’ll continue rolling out more of these visual updates for each class, so stay tuned. Once we’ve revealed them all, we’ll shift gears and start digging into the bigger gameplay changes coming with 1.0. This is just the beginning.

It is universally agreed that the most important tool for a Maintenance Worker is not a wrench or a screwdriver - it is a hat. What it lacks in pure utility, it makes up for in covering up his bald spot. The tinted safety glasses make the dark caves of Hoxxes even dimmer, but the shoulder-mounted flashlight compensates for this, effectively cancelling each other out.

The Tinkerer has opted for a company issued welding mask that unfortunately does not cover his majestic blonde beard. We can only pray that welding sparks decide to fly around it out of respect. The coils and tubes on his shoulders are in fact epaulettes awarded for distinguished engineering service.

Finally, we have the Demolitionist. He’s all about safety first, which is why his outfit looks like he is emerging from a child car seat. The baseball batting helmet has built-in noise-cancellation which effectively blocks out noisy explosions and encouraging comments from management.

The skins are still WIP and may change a bit before launch. In the next post (coming next week or the week after) we’ll take a look at the new Gunner class mod skins. Many other features of the 1.0 update are still kept under wraps. We will reveal them in the coming months once we are ready to share a more detailed look at them.

Rock and Stone!
