Driller Tips and Tricks

Most of the tips in this guide are regarding the best use of weapons and equipment in Deep Rock Galactic. For example, if you use the CRSPR Flamethrower on a creature long enough they will catch fire instead of just dealing fire damage. Moreover, the fire leaves lingering fire trails on the ground that deals Fire Damage. You can use the CRSPR Flamethrower to get past Spider Webs as well.

Now let’s talk about the Cryo Cannon which should be used to freeze enemies solid instead of simply using to cause direct damage. Direct damage from this weapon is very limited but freezing enemies stops them in their tracks which means you can do whatever you want to them. Cyro Cannon can be used to prevent Glyphid Exploder from exploding, just freeze it before it explodes. Meanwhile, you can stop Glyphid Paetprian from using its poison gas and stop the Glyphid Brood Nexus from spawning the Glyphid Spawns. Put the Vampire perk on the Cyro Cannon to get some HP to restore by breaking the frozen enemies with the pickaxe.

You can also use the Experimental Plasma Charger to burn the Spider Webs it must be shot right at the top. Another great tip is to remember that Two Satchel Charges are often enough brought down the Dreadnought’s Shell. But this can deal a lot of damage to teammates as well so use wisely and accordingly.
