Salute every chance you get. It keeps moral up, embraces comradery among the team, and idk where im going with that, its just cool...

Sometimes you just need to satisfy a thirst that can only be quenched by lethal amounts of rum.








Or maybe you just want to goof off...

Teamwork makes the dream work. No "I" in Team. Ect.

Part A: Teamwork via your guns/utility : Teamwork can make anyone cool. Helping people over the course of the mission can really help the overall fun of the mission. Teamwork can change a bad mission into a good one.



No matter what the trouble is, as long as you have some good teamwork, you will usually prevail.
And that makes a team cool.



Part B: Perks : Sometimes perks can help out your fellow dwarves more than it can help you, which is a good thing.
Such as the Field Medic perk, did your coworker just eat an exploder? No worries, as the field medic perk will help them back on their feet almost instantly. Almost everyone runs this perk and almost everyone will appreciate you using this perk.


Or maybe you want to prevent a fellow teammate from going down, if thats the case, then the Shield Link perk is just for you. If some ones shield is down, or even your own shield, if you are close to some one, your shield recharge rate will be faster. You also have the ability to boost someones shield for a short duration, this can be good for a hasty retreat through some bugs, or possibly a final stand.




Part C: No team? No worries just make one! : Some people prefer going alone, which tends to be very dangerous in those dark caverns. Sometimes you just need to make your own team.
Bosco can help with that, a little killing machine in a tin box. Bosco can provide all the support you could ever need, from shooting things, to mining some ceiling ore, to reviving you, and Bosco can even deliver a coordinated airstrike every now and then.


And then there is Steeve, by using the Beast Master perk, you can tame any variant of the glyphid grunt to help you out.

Another way of being cool is by being open to Green Beards, they are new to the game just like you probably were a little while ago.



And not being the guy that has "Promoted Dwarves Only" or something like that in the lobby title...

For those people out there who host or maybe the people who do this ^ , if you are nice to greenbeards even if they barely know how to play, chances are high that, they will look up to you and learn. People tend to listen to friendly people. If they have a friendly host they have a better game, and they learn more, which usually makes the game session overall better.
Its a win win all around.

And if you are a greenbeard reading this, its a 2 way street, if you are nice the host/non-greenbeards will usually appreciate that as well.

And im not saying any of you have to bend over backwards for people, there are some people who will just not be friendly regardless.

When you are about to extract, most of the time you have to push the big red button...
I know its tempting but don't push it yet.



If you are host and you are about to push that big red button, ask your fellow teammates if they are ready first, they could possibly be looking for that spec of jadiz in the wall they spotted a second ago.


If you are a non-host, ask the host first if they want to leave, they may want to explore the rest of the cave or start a machine event for extra loot.


All in all just ask if everyones good to go, that makes you a cool guy.

When you get done with a mission, chances are high that you have to trek back up to the drop pod to leave, if some one goes down, you would be a cool guy if you go back and save them, even if it means sacrificing yourself.

It is immensely cool if you manage to save a fellow coworker from perishing in the depths of hoxxes and live to tell the tale.


"There's heroes and there's legends. Heroes get remembered, but legends never die. Follow your heart, and you'll never go wrong." Some guy from a movie or something

7A: Facial Hair : Just look at this scout, they got themselves a funky little beard there. Pretty cool.


Or what about the engineer with his funny stache from the hit video game "faster than fast" . I don't remember what it actually is called but you probably get it.


Or maybe you want some tentac- can i even say this, or am i going too far?


Or maybe you want something a little more festive?


There are lots of options to choose from, pretty much 90% of them will be cool.

7B: Apparel : Almost all the armor types in the game can look good as long they are paired with a good hat/helmet. Sometimes the apparel you wear can warrant you not having facial hair, it still can look cool.
Like Gunner over here in their fully enclosed armor.


Or maybe you want to look like you are wearing an armored hazmat suit


Or maybe you prefer no brain protection at all.



As a final note, everyone has their own fashion sense, as long as you get something that you like, thats cool too. As long you have the confidence to wear it, that is ultimately cool.

While this guide is mostly done now, it is still open to suggestions, if you do want to suggest something that would fit in nicely, leave it down in the comments, i will try to look at all of them. However i will not be looking at this guide as much now that its mostly done, as i want to make another here soon.

Also feel free to call me a dummy or something as I am not the brightest dwarf in the pod.
If something I put down didn't make sense because I can be bad at describing things specifically. Miscommunication happens here and there and I don't want to/be misconstrue(d).
So if any yall thinks there needs to be clarification somewhere, slam it down in the comments as well.

There are other ways to be cool and everyone perceives "being cool" differently, so this guide you are viewing may not be 100% accurate for every lobby.
Also keep in mind that management does not pay you nor does company insurance cover you when saluting in the middle of a swarm, on top of a Dreadnought that is still alive, nor right in front of a Bulk detonator that is either still alive or dying. I do not take responsibility for such consequences.

I would like to thank a friend who helped me in the process of gathering some of the screenshots in this meme guide.
I would also like to thank anyone who supports the guide, whether through a like, comment, or even suggestion.




Anyways now that you are here...
ROCK AND STONE TO THE BONE!!!
