[2020] 1.0 LAUNCH IS LIVE!

Hello Miners! It’s fantastic to finally be welcoming you all to Deep Rock Galactic 1.0!

This marks the end of more than two years of Early Access development and It has been an amazing journey! We could not have asked for a better community to have along for the ride. And, if you are a new player, rest assured that hard work in the mines awaits you, alongside high adventure, big guns, fancy beards, alien monsters ... and of course - all your fellow dwarven miners!

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

--- 1.0 PATCH NOTES ---
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!

NEW PROMOTION TIERS Believe it or not but now there are 3 more Tiers above Gold, for when you are promoting your dwarves: PLATINUM, DIAMOND, LEGENDARY! This is mainly 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!

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.

A couple of months ago we were toying around with awarding you vanity on the promotion itself (some of you might have tested it on the Experimental build), but we were not totally happy with the system and have instead gone for an approach with unlocking Prestige Assignments based on your Player Rank.

BIOMES Crystalline Caverns have gotten more crystal variations. It’s now crystal clear why it is called by that name!

COMMUNITY REQUESTS Here are a bunch of features we have added by popular demand:

We have added a sweet Golden Paintjob for your trusty Pickaxe to the Supporter Pack
We have added a separate volume slider for Mission Control. Don’t tell Management!
We have improved head bob scaling to now affect more animations
We have added a separate Camera Shake slider, to be able to scale down camera shakes to your liking
We have added an option to invert x-axis for the camera when you are downed

MISC. For the 1.0 launch, we have focused on fixing bugs and various issues, so this part of the patch notes is a bit longer than usual. It includes all fixes done while 1.0 was on the Experimental Branch. Thanks to all who helped us test the game up to launch!

PATCH NOTES - S04.16

No, but seriously.

What would a gunner call "guns" that don't weight at least 100 pounds?
