Deep Rock Galactic: Mission Types Guide
Uncover key strategies and tips for every Deep Rock Galactic mission type, from Mining Expeditions to Elimination. Dive into the action!
Stepping into the mines of Hoxxes IV isn’t just about chopping through alien bugs and hunting for shiny minerals—every run comes with its own objectives and curveballs. Whether you’re a new recruit figuring out what “Egg Hunt” really means or a seasoned dwarf who still gets tripped up by a Salvage Operation, understanding the differences between mission types can make all the difference between stumbling out alive or becoming glyphid chow. Each mission brings its own rules, goals, and ways to earn your pay, so getting a handle on what to expect is a great way to stay one step ahead underground.
Mining Expeditions: The Core Mission of Deep Rock Galactic
Mining Expeditions are the backbone of Deep Rock Galactic’s mission line-up—straightforward, lucrative, and deceptively simple. When you sign up for one, your main job is collecting a set quota of Morkite, the glowing blue-green ore found only on Hoxxes IV. It sounds simple, but there’s more than just pickaxing a few rocks. Whether you’re running hazard 1 or going for a Hazard 5 deep dive, knowing how these missions play out makes a big difference in getting paid (and making it out).
Mission Structure
Mining Expeditions begin deep underground. Doretta drops you off in a twisting cavern system, flashlight beams bouncing off jagged walls. Right away, you’ll spot your first goal: fill your team’s quota of Morkite and haul it back up using the Drop Pod.
These missions are marked by an “M” icon on the mission map in the Space Rig. Each zone’s layout, enemy density, and secondary objectives switch up from run to run, keeping even veterans on their toes. Morkite amounts scale with difficulty and party size, so expect to hunt down more ore when you bring the full crew.
Primary Objective: Mining Morkite
Your main task: collect a set amount of Morkite. You’ll find this ore in chunky blue-green veins along the walls or ceilings of the caves. Grab your trusty laser pointer (hold CTRL by default) to highlight deposits for your buddies. Only Morkite you deposit into Bosco (when solo) or the M.U.L.E. counts.
While mining, it helps to:
- Communicate: Shout out rich veins or tough-to-reach spots.
- Split up, but safely: Send one or two dwarves to hunt for side paths and corners where extra Morkite hides, but keep others close enough for backup.
- Platforming: Engineer platforms and Scout grappling hooks make reaching high-up ore a breeze.
Secondary Objective
Every Mining Expedition also throws in a side hustle. These range from collecting Alien Fossils or Apoca Blooms to smashing Fester Fleas. Completing secondary goals nets everyone extra credits and crafting minerals at the end—worth keeping an eye out as you move through the caves, but never risk the whole crew for a fossil stuck over a pit of acid.
Caves and Hazards
Mining Expeditions stay fresh through random map generation. Sometimes you’ll slog through twisting tunnels, other times the game throws in waterfalls, hazardous mushrooms, or steep drops.
Expect to deal with:
- Environmental Challenges: Holes, poison spores, electrified crystals, or sticky goo can get in the way. Use tools and teamwork to clear paths.
- Enemy Waves: Glyphids and other local nasties hunt in packs. While Morkite is your main target, don’t let your guard down—swarms can hit without warning, especially after you trigger certain events or when hitting milestones.
- Cave Complexity: Caves can snake vertically and horizontally. Toss flares everywhere, use the Terrain Scanner (TAB) to track explored areas, and keep an ear out for crewmates who wander off.
Prepping for the Drop
Picking the right gear is key. Mining Expeditions welcome all classes—each has its perks:
- Driller: Great for digging tunnels directly to hard-to-reach Morkite nodes.
- Engineer: Deploys platforms below hanging ore to let everyone mine safely.
- Scout: Fires up flares to spot Morkite and grabs distant deposits with the grappling hook.
- Gunner: Protects the crew during swarm attacks and anchors ziplines up steep chasms.
Bring grenades and a decent supply of ammo, but don’t go overboard—Professional miners save heavy firepower for Glyphid Praetorians and swarms.
Call the Drop Pod: Extraction Phase
Once you fill the Morkite quota, everyone gets a message: “All objectives complete—press the button on the M.U.L.E. to call for extraction.” The Drop Pod rockets down and you’ve got five minutes to scramble back, while enemies go into overdrive.
Extraction is usually the most hectic part:
- Stick Together: Map markers show where to go, but caves rarely hand you a direct route.
- Leave Flares: Mark tricky jumps or turns for the slower-moving dwarves.
- Revive Downed Allies: Extraction counts only if you all make it. Don’t leave someone behind if you don’t have to.
- Don’t Get Greedy: Ignore extra gold veins if the swarm’s on your tail—credits mean nothing if you die yards from the ship.
Tips for Successful Expeditions
- Manage Light: Flares keep you from missing hidden Morkite veins. Never underestimate how much you’ll need.
- Resource Management: Save resupplies for swarm moments or extraction runs. Don’t burn through them looking for every last nugget.
- Comms Are Life: Shouting out enemy spawns, ore finds, or when you’re lost can save missions.
Why Mining Expeditions Matter
Mining Expeditions offer a straightforward way to learn cave layouts, class roles, and danger management. They’re also great for first-timers thanks to clear objectives. Even after hundreds of missions, diving in for “just one more Morkite run” is both rewarding for progression and perfect for honing those dwarven instincts.
Mining Expeditions set the foundation for every other mission type in Deep Rock Galactic, wrapping together teamwork, exploration, and the constant threat of glyphids to keep dwarves sweating—and laughing—the whole way through.
Point Extraction
Point Extraction flips the usual mining adventure upside down. Forget leisurely drilling for ore—now you’re in a race. Your goal: gather a set number of Aquarqs, those odd, blue crystalline geodes scattered all over multi-level caves. Teams dip in, scoop up what they can, and scramble to escape before bugs turn the place into a buffet.
How Point Extraction Works
Point Extraction missions are marked by a diamond-shaped icon with a gem inside it back at the Space Rig. Once dropped in, you’ll notice the main difference: there’s no M.U.L.E. waiting for you. Instead, Ommoran Extraction Devices—or mini-miners—sit front and center, humming on a metal platform. This is where Aquarqs need to be delivered.
Main Objective: Collect and Deposit Aquarqs
Aquarqs don’t grow on cave walls. Instead, you’ll spot chunks of blue crystals jutting out from rocks, signaling where one is buried. Pulling one free involves:
- Mining out the Aquarq core using pickaxes or drills. They’re usually embedded in rocky nodules, sometimes high up or tucked in nasty spots.
- Transporting the Aquarq back to the platform. Each Aquarq weighs you down, leaving only your secondary weapon and flares. You move slower and can’t sprint or jump well, making you a glyphid snack if you're not covered.
- Depositing the crystal into the collection unit by slamming it into the marked slots.
The number of Aquarqs needed scales with mission hazard level and crew size—typically six to eight per run.
Secondary Objectives and Bonus Loot
Just like other missions, there’s a secondary item to collect. Fester Fleas, Fossils, or Bloom flowers often pop up as you traverse the maze. More interesting, Point Extraction caves stuff extra minerals like gold, Nitra, and Bismor in quantities you won’t see elsewhere. If you’re quick, you can go for a “bonus loot run,” but don’t risk wipes just to pad your pockets.
Map Layout and Cavern Design
Point Extraction caves trade twisting tunnels for a giant, open shaft—think “dwarves loose in a vertical playground.” You’ll see huge drop-offs, looping ledges, and random floating crystals everywhere. Ommoran Extraction rigs love sticking you in the middle, with caverns stretching up, down, and all around.
- Verticality: Expect big height changes. Grapple hooks, ziplines, and platforms become essential.
- Fewer dead-ends: Most areas loop back, so you’re rarely stuck in a corner.
- Hazard placement: Watch for holes in the floor or enemies dropping from above. Glyphids love surprising you when you’re carrying an Aquarq.
Enemies and Swarms
Point Extraction triggers constant, smaller bug waves, interrupted by occasional full-blown swarms. Bugs know exactly where your platform is, and they’ll focus attacks there. Enemies tend to arrive from multiple directions, including above and below. Special types like Mactera Grabbers and Goo Bombers show up more often in these wide-open caves.
- Mini-waves: Regularly spaced but not massive.
- Swarm phases: After returning about half of your Aquarqs, swarms intensify to stop your progress.
- Distractions: If anyone falls off a platform or gets spaced out alone, glyphid spitters and shooters can be a major hassle.
Team Roles and Class Strategies
The right class mix makes or breaks these missions. Each dwarf shines in a specific way:
Scout
- Grapple hook lets Scouts grab high-up Aquarqs solo and scout routes for the team.
- Flare gun lights up dark vertical spaces, revealing hidden dangers or loot.
Engineer
- Platform gun makes safe walkways for carrying Aquarqs above pit traps or connecting ledges.
- Turrets on the platform help lock down the extraction zone from multi-directional bug assaults.
Driller
- Drills chew through walls to save everyone from long climbs or link the platform with hard-to-reach Aquarqs.
- Can quickly carve escape tunnels during swarms or rescue stranded teammates.
Gunner
- Ziplines are lifesavers for moving heavy Aquarqs up or down without excessive risk.
- Shields safeguard the platform when bugs launch a multi-pronged attack.
Extraction and Final Stand
Once the team deposits all required Aquarqs, hit the extraction button. The Drop Pod lands at a random spot, not always near the platform. There's no M.U.L.E. to guide your path, so route planning matters.
- Flares and markers: Toss flares to mark safe paths—chaos breaks loose fast when everyone’s hauling minerals and bugs swarm from all sides.
- Stick together: The bugs will be relentless and target anyone lagging.
- Don’t wait—move: Stragglers get picked off quickly; coordinate and punch through as a group.
Tips for Winning Point Extraction
- Prioritize Aquarqs: Focus on knocking out the main objective early. Secondary loot is bonus if you can swing it.
- Build a fortified platform: Engineer turrets, mark supply drops, and keep resupplies nearby.
- Transport safely: Have Gunner and Engineer coordinate ziplines and platforms for easy Aquarq runs.
- Rotate defenders: Swap who carries and who covers. Don’t let one person do all the heavy lifting (literally).
- Watch for sneaky glyphids: They often ambush while you're focused on crystals.
Why Point Extraction Stands Out
Point Extraction is fast-paced and chaotic, requiring quick thinking and solid teamwork. Vertical design, constant pressure, and the thrill of hauling giant glowing rocks across enemy-infested pits set it apart. If you ever wanted a Deep Rock mission that tests agility, shooting, and coordination at once, this is the mode.
Short and punchy: haul rocks, swat bugs, outsmart the cave—simple, sweaty, and like nothing else in Deep Rock Galactic. Grab some dwarves, watch each other's backs, and get rich or get eaten trying.
Egg Hunt
Egg Hunt throws you right into one of Deep Rock Galactic’s most frantic mission types. Your objective: grab alien eggs tucked away in the cave walls and haul them to the M.U.L.E. It sounds easy—until the bugs start getting angry. Here’s what you should know before you set out looking for those glowing ovals.
Objective: Collect and Deposit Alien Eggs
Every Egg Hunt mission features a set number of eggs, usually 4, 6, or 8, depending on team size and mission difficulty. Each egg is buried within orange, slightly glowing “nest” patches in the cave walls. When you’re close, your HUD pings the nest location, and the egg’s heartbeat thumps louder as you dig.
- Locate the nest: Check the map for egg icons. Listen for the pulsing sound and watch for orange, vein-covered rock.
- Dig carefully: Use pickaxes or Driller’s tools to break in. Eggs can sometimes get stuck—try mining around them until they pop loose.
After extraction, run the egg to the M.U.L.E. and deposit it. One egg at a time is usually safest, since trouble arrives with every egg you pull.
Map Layout & Cave Features
Egg Hunt maps stay unpredictable. The caves branch out, often wrapping around a central shaft or splitting into several arteries off the starting room. Side chambers frequently hide bonus loot or awkwardly placed nests.
- Twisted tunnels: Eggs love to spawn behind extra-thick walls or on cave ceilings.
- Hazards nearby: Expect drop-offs, sticky goo, or acid spitters in egg chambers.
- Hidden pockets: Some nests are way off the main path, encouraging you to split up—risky if bugs are already swarming.
Triggering Swarms: How Danger Ramps Up
The key risk with Egg Hunt isn’t just finding the eggs—it’s what happens when you remove them. Each egg has a chance to trigger an instant glyphid swarm, especially later in the run. Early eggs might buy you some peace, but by the time you’re halfway done, expect trouble every time.
- “Silent” eggs: Sometimes you’ll get no spawn, but don’t count on it.
- Screamers: Occasionally, an egg sets off a roar—bugs pour in fast. Be ready to fight.
- Stacked swarms: If you rush egg after egg, you might have two swarms at once—not fun unless your team is rock solid.
Secondary Objectives and Bonus Loot
Like other modes, Egg Hunt missions offer extra contracts for bonus minerals or killing specific enemies. It’s tempting to grab extra gold or hunt for crafting mats, but always keep the main egg count in mind. The longer you stay, the larger the waves grow.
- Moar loot: Eggs often lead through pockets with Nitra, Gold, or crafting materials.
- Secondary targets: Collect fossils, kill Mactera, or nab other items for XP.
Team Roles and Strategies
Different classes shine in Egg Hunt. Here's how each should play their part:
Scout
- Flares: Light up chambers so you don’t face bugs in the dark.
- Mobility: Grapple to tricky nests or rescue a teammate cornered by a swarm.
Driller
- Tunneling: Shortcuts between nests cut down on backtracking or awkward long routes.
- Crowd control: Great for clearing bugs that cluster up after an egg pull.
Engineer
- Platforms: Help nab eggs from high walls or ceiling nests.
- Turrets: Drop turrets at bottleneck points to cover retreats with eggs in hand.
Gunner
- Ziplines: Connect hard-to-reach egg nests right back to the M.U.L.E.
- Shields: Drop a shield when an egg pull triggers a full bug rush.
Tips for Surviving Egg Hunt
- One at a time: Don’t grab multiple eggs in different spots unless your team has cleared the swarm and you are grouped up.
- Prep before pulling: Set up turrets, reload, and mark resupply boxes before mining an egg.
- Ping the map: Use your laser pointer so the team knows which egg you’re going for.
- Watch for tunnelers: Bugs love to dig right through the cave—never take your eyes off the rear.
- Don’t stray too far: If you split up and a swarm comes, it’s a long run back for help.
Extraction and Final Push
Once all eggs are secured, hit the extraction button on the M.U.L.E. The Drop Pod’s arrival spawns a brutal final push of bugs. Sometimes the exit lands near you; sometimes, you’re sprinting through a labyrinth packed with angry glyphids.
- Light the way: Keep those flares and beacons marking the path—nobody wants to run blind.
- Stick together: Moving as a squad is way safer than a mad solo dash.
- Double back: If things get rough, don’t be afraid to fall back to safe zones or turrets before making the last run.
Why Egg Hunt Is a Fan Favorite
Egg Hunt rewards quick, coordinated teams who can react fast and handle “oh no” moments on the fly. The tension of “will this egg summon a billion bugs?” is a real adrenaline hit every time. It’s an excellent way to practice teamwork, communication, and crowd control. Plus, nothing feels better than finally clearing that last nest and getting out alive.
Whether you’re a greenbeard or a battle-worn veteran, Egg Hunt brings equal parts reward, chaos, and excitement—all packed into a few, nerve-wracking eggs. Good luck down there, miners. Salvage Operation
Salvage Operation is one of Deep Rock Galactic’s most distinct mission types, turning the usual mining run into a tense rescue job with some defend-the-point flavor. You’re not dropping in for minerals—you’re salvaging downed M.U.L.E.s and recovering lost gear from a previous, less fortunate mining crew. It’s a mode heavy on teamwork, close-quarters defense, and quick thinking.
Main Objective: Recover and Reboot the M.U.L.E.s
The core task is to find three disabled Mini M.U.L.E.s scattered around the cave. Each one’s bust-up parts are hidden nearby—legs and body shell—so your team needs to locate everything, repair the bots, and send them home before things heat up.
Locating the M.U.L.E. Parts
- Look for blue signals: The radar pings where each Mini M.U.L.E.’s signal is coming from, marking the general area.
- Follow the beeping: The M.U.L.E. legs emit a rhythmic beeping—getting louder as you get closer.
- Mark the parts: Use your laser pointer to call out found legs or downed bodies, making it easier for everyone.
Repair Process
- Reattach the legs: Carry each leg over to the corresponding Mini M.U.L.E. body. Just run up and hit the interact button to attach.
- Fix the unit: Once all three legs are in place, commence repairs—hold your interact button, and you’ll solder the bot back to working order.
- Repeat: Get all three Mini M.U.L.E.s running again, and you’re halfway there.
Secondary Objective: Recover the Black Box
After all Mini M.U.L.E.s are up and functional, your next big task is recovering the "Black Box." This device contains mission data—think of it as the deep-space flight recorder—and is fixed at a random spot in the cave.
- Find the box: It shows up on your HUD once the M.U.L.E.s are salvaged.
- Defend the area: Once you activate recovery, bugs start pouring in. You’ll need to stay inside a narrow zone around the Black Box while a meter fills—stepping outside slows progress.
- Cover all sides: Cave layouts are unpredictable. Sometimes you’ll have choke points; other times, you’re out in the open. Lay down turrets, C4, or other gadgets before booting up the box to make your life easier.
Final Extraction: Defend the Uplink, Then Escape
After all objectives are checked off, you call in the Drop Pod—but it won’t unlock right away. Instead, an Uplink device drops down and tasks you with re-establishing a connection to HQ.
Uplink Phase
- Stay in the ring: An uplink circumference projects on the ground. Everyone must stay inside; straying out slows or pauses the upload.
- Bug storm: Things get hectic fast—expect constant enemy waves. Shields, AoE damage, and turrets take center stage.
- Don’t stray: Splitting up here is a death sentence; if anyone is downed outside the zone, it’s hard to recover them.
The Great Run
Once the uplink is done, you finally get the green light to board the Drop Pod. The classic GWANG sound blares, bug spawns ramp up, and you have to get out fast.
- Watch the clock: There’s only a few minutes to escape.
- Follow flares or terrain markers: Mark the path with Scout’s flares or glowsticks if the route is twisty.
- Don’t leave anyone behind: If teammates fall, decide fast—rescue or cut your losses.
Salvage Operation Strategy Tips
Splitting the Team—Yay or Nay?
While it’s tempting to split up and grab M.U.L.E. parts faster, it often backfires if a swarm spawns or you get caught in a tough spot. Sticking together makes it much easier to fend off ambushes and revive fallen dwarves.
Class Roles
Engineer
- Perfect for defense. Turrets guard the repair zones or uplink area. Platform Gun gets legs off high ledges.
Driller
- Shortcut king. Tunnels can speed up leg retrieval. During defense, his flamethrower melts clusters of bugs.
Scout
- Scouting and light. Useful for finding M.U.L.E.s hidden in the dark or up high. His mobility makes risky leg runs safer.
Gunner
- Tank and support. Ziplines make carrying parts safer across chasms. His shield saves lives during wave defense.
Setting Up for Defense Phases
Always drop your turrets, prep grenades, and ping resupply pods before hitting the Black Box or Uplink objectives. Having the whole team loaded up is the difference between a clean run and a messy wipe.
Communication and Map Awareness
Call out legs or repair points. Use pings and your HUD—not everyone has the same cave angle. It’s easy to get spun around when things go loud. If someone’s down, coordinate a group rescue instead of trickling in one by one.
Common Hazards
- Cave Leech: Lurks above repair zones—check before you engage.
- Environmental threats: Often there are exploding plants, acid spitters, or mud pits around objectives.
- Long runs: After the uplink, sometimes the Drop Pod spawns far away—sprint, but also watch your stamina and flanks.
Why Salvage Operation Stands Out
Salvage Operation flips the mining routine. Instead of searching for an exit, the cave itself becomes your final stand—twice. It’s about resourcefulness and adaptability, challenging you to survive wave after wave while handling clutch repairs and precision defense. If your squad likes intense moments and close shaves, Salvage Operation is a must-play mission in Deep Rock Galactic. Stick with your crew, brew up a plan, and get those bots home in one piece. Rock and stone!
Elimination: Hunt the Dreadnoughts
Among Deep Rock Galactic’s mission types, Elimination is all about tracking down and destroying Dreadnoughts—the biggest and meanest bugs in the caves. Instead of hauling minerals or retrieving lost gear, your job here is simple: find the Dreadnought eggs, crack them open, and wipe out whatever comes out… before it wipes you out.
Mission Overview
In Elimination, your squad faces off against either Dreadnought Hiveguards, Glyphid Dreadnought Twins, or the Glyphid Dreadnought itself. The main goal is to locate and take out a set number of boss enemies, ranging from two to three depending on mission difficulty.
Here’s how the process unfolds:
- Locate egg markers on your HUD: These glowing orange icons pinpoint where the Dreadnought eggs hide.
- Crack the egg: Once you interact with the egg’s pod, it triggers a short animation, and the fight begins—there’s no turning back!
- Fight the boss: Each Dreadnought has unique abilities and attack patterns that force you to think on your feet.
- Defeat and repeat: Once one is down, move on to the next until every target is eliminated.
Preparing for Battle
Elimination missions push teamwork and preparation to the limit. Here are key steps before cracking eggs:
- Stock up on resources: Collect Nitra for ammo resupplies. Fights drag on, and you’ll burn through bullets.
- Scout the arena: Boss nests often sit in open chambers with lots of hazards. Clear out exploder plants and stalagmites to give more space to maneuver.
- Set up defenses: Engineers should position turrets near where the fight will happen. Gunners: get ziplines in place for fast escapes or highground.
Fighting the Dreadnoughts
Each Dreadnought type has unique quirks. Coordination and knowing when to play aggressively—or back off—are key.
Glyphid Dreadnought (Standard)
- Attacks: Charges, fiery breath, explosive flame bombs.
- Weakness: Glowing orange spots on the abdomen (usually only exposed when it attacks).
- Tactics:
- Station someone behind the Dreadnought to get clear shots at weak points.
- Watch out for its flame attacks—they hurt a lot and can linger on the ground.
- If it charges, keep away from walls to prevent getting pinned.
- Use the Gunner’s shield to keep folks alive through tough flame phases.
Dreadnought Hiveguard
- Attacks: Rapid ranged shots, ground pounds, spawns “Sentinel” bugs during shielded phases.
- Weakness: Glowing orbs on its body, exposed once all Sentinels are defeated in each phase.
- Tactics:
- Focus on Sentinels when the Hiveguard’s shield is up—they’re the key to opening it up for damage.
- Scout’s mobility can help lure the Hiveguard around, exposing its weak spots for others.
- Spread out to minimize getting caught by ground pound AoE.
Dreadnought Twins
- Enemies: The Lacerator and the Arbalest, who fight as a duo.
- Attacks: The Lacerator charges and does melee damage, while Arbalest fires projectiles from afar.
- Weakness: Both have weak spots on their abdomens, but only take real damage when somewhat separated.
- Tactics:
- Try to keep the Twins apart—if they’re close, both regenerate health.
- Gunners can drop shields to force them apart, while Drillers use terrain manipulation to split the chamber.
- Never focus on just one twin – balance damage so you don’t get overwhelmed when only one remains.
General Tips for Elimination Missions
- Ammo is life: Constantly call in resupplies, especially before and between boss fights.
- Clear adds: Dreadnought battles regularly spawn smaller glyphids or other enemies. Don’t let them stack up—assign someone to clear mobs.
- Stay mobile: Dreadnought attacks punish standing still. Use ziplines, platforms, or drilled tunnels to keep moving.
- Revive quickly: Going down mid-fight can spiral into a wipe. Keep Gunner’s shield or Scout’s IFG grenades ready to cover revives.
- Class synergy:
- Engineers: Turrets for extra DPS, platforms to create fighting positions.
- Drillers: Makeshift tunnels or escape routes; flamethrower and cryo cannon are great for add control.
- Scouts: Flares make arenas easier to see; mobility for baiting attacks or reviving.
- Gunners: Shields and ziplines are essential for both offense and team survival.
Hazards Unique to Elimination
- Environmental threats: Ceiling hazards like cave leeches or flammable gas vents can turn a fight south quickly.
- Tight arenas: Not every Dreadnought nest is big and open; be ready to adjust tactics if cramped.
- Boss phases: Most Dreadnoughts enter temporary invulnerable phases—don’t waste ammo, focus on healing/shields until they’re open again.
Extraction After the Hunt
Once the last Dreadnought falls, the mission isn’t over. You still need to reach the Drop Pod—often while a final swarm spawns.
- Plan your escape: Drop Pod can sometimes land far away from the last nest. Mark the trail with flares.
- Don’t split the team: Stick together, especially with enemies chasing during extraction.
- Use resources wisely: Save grenades and shields for the final sprint if possible.
Why Elimination Missions Are a Fan Favorite
Elimination delivers tense, action-packed boss battles that require every class’s toolkit and solid teamwork. It’s less about hoarding minerals and more about surviving hard-hitting targets that won’t go down easy. If your squad enjoys the pressure of big fights and clutch plays, Elimination missions offer some of the most memorable moments you’ll find in Deep Rock Galactic. Gear up, trust your crew, and smash those bugs. Rock and Stone!
