Welcome!

Hey! I've got 24 builds here, 6 for each class, that I hope you'll be able to use to give your gameplay some variety as well as give you an edge in special scenarios! Deep Rock Galactic is full of different situations that call for all kinds of approaches and this guide will showcase the myriad of ways you can specialize your dwarves to deal with whatever horrors Hoxxes VI sends your way! Keep in mind, these are what I use on Hazard 5 consistently (solo and 4 man) with a very high success rate and compliment my play style really well. Some may not be for you but don't take it as me saying that I am objectively correct about these being the best builds and more of a friendly suggestion to try something out!

Just in case you don't want to watch the videos with the detailed explanations of each build and strategy or just want a quick reference, I also have a link to my karl.gg profile here with every build mentioned in the videos! I recommend watching the videos though because they go into depth about how to best use the configurations I chose. I would also really appreciate it because I spent a while making these!

Happy mining! Rock and Stone!

>no ultra mobility scout build with hoverclock/special powder combo
what the FUCK is this guide?

As someone who's played.... way too much and doesn't like always running the meta, love this guide, especially the breakdowns in the videos of how to use each effectively. I know I'll be coming back to it from time to time those times you log in and just think to yourself "I want to run a build I havn't run in a while, I'm just not sure what..."

Only feedback I can give is, in the guide itself, putting the weapons builds along with the OC's for quick reference. Something that would look like:

1:40
Firestarter: Reliable generalist with big AoE fire grenades (Warthog, PGL)
Warthog: 11321 / Stunner OC -- PGL: 11121 / Clean Sweep OC -- Turret: 2132

Again, awesome work, rock and stone!

Thank you for taking the time to create these!

Not playing only the meta? 0/10
Amazing builds as always

Jake 5 Dec, 2020 @ 8:13pm

really nice builds, thank you

Siirvend [author] 4 Dec, 2020 @ 6:22pm

Oh yeah, especially when you have to specialize for those tough stages in the elite dive.

slashening 3 Dec, 2020 @ 5:11am

would be useful for my deep dive runs, tysm

You're very welcome! Thank you for making amazing content for the community and these fun builds. I was thinking you were messing around a little bit so I thought I would bring it up, glad that both versions work though. The special powder misplacement was something I thought I'd bring up since it might give people the wrong idea. I'm glad I was able to help you and possibly anyone else in the future from being confused.

Siirvend [author] 27 Nov, 2020 @ 11:38am

@8ranger22 Hey glad you caught those!

I was probably messing around with the Zhukovs at one point with Zapshot and changed some stuff around. I used my build in game as reference when making the karl.gg loadouts so I definitely used the changed mods and OC when doing that. I changed karl.gg to the video config so there isnt any confusion. I dont think that set up is bad, I was just tinkering so the video build will still be perfectly serviceable!
As for the special powder, yeah that was just misplaced. That was supposed to be on the Boomstick for build 1, woops. Thanks man!
