Deep Rock Galactic patch notes

Published:

As Deep Rock Galactic is getting ready to go full throttle release mode with the 1.0 on this coming Wednesday, the developers have shared a greeting with a list of the updates and improvements we can expect to see from this coming Wednesday.

Hello Miners! For the last two months, we’ve been prepping Deep Rock Galactic for going 1.0. Our time during this Update has been mostly spent on getting the game as ready for launch as possible – and that has meant a focus on fixing bugs and tweaking numbers. You’ve seen a lot of this in the latest stream of Hotfixes already – which helps us by giving us some time to react to feedback from you guys, and allows us to get the game as stable as we possibly can for launch. 

This marks the end of more than two years of Early Access development. It feels almost unreal, and we could not have asked for a better community than you guys to have along for the ride. We are super, super excited to leave Early Access and seeing where the game will go from here. And fear not…we are far from done adding to DRG!

Rock And Stone!
With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

SOUNDTRACK VOL. II
—————————-
For the last year we have been working on a Vol. II of the soundtrack for DRG – and it is finally here – allowing you to mine, fight and groove to 14 completely new tracks of synthy, bassy goodness! Deep Rock Galactic needs to invest in some bigger speakers…NOW!

PRESTIGE ASSIGNMENTS
—————————-
As you increase your Player Rank, you will get access to special Prestige Assignments. Completing them will reward you with full sets of Pickaxe parts, Armor skins and new Helmets. Prestige Assignments are unlocked at Player Rank 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 75 and 100.    

NEW PROMOTION TIERS
—————————-
Believe it or not but now there are 3 more Tiers above Gold, when you are promoting your dwarves! So this is mainly gonna be a show-off thing for super veteran players who have been investing blood, sweat and a lot of time in Deep Rock Galactic. We salute you!
