[2019] PINNED: Frequently Asked Questions!

- What is ERR://23'y%/?
Just a rare gem that has no function yet, hold onto them.

- Can I play solo or with one friend?
The games difficulty scales with the amount of players in the match so two players is just fine! For playing alone, host a Solo game and you will have the aid of an All Purpose Drone named Bosco to help you out (as seen in the tutorial)

- Is this game crossplatform?
For xbox 1 players and the windows10 store it is!

- Are four packs available?
Steam no longer supports four packs for newer games (other games got grandfathereed in) but it could be possible for other stores to allow these someday!

- Will we have splitscreen on PC/xbox?
Unfortunately no :(

- What is Deep Rock Galactic?
Deep Rock Galactic is a first-person co-op FPS in the vein of Left4Dead, with fully destructible and procedurally generated levels. Up to 4 players will team up as a band of roughneck sci-fi dwarves and go hunting for gold in the underground depths of an extremely hostile alien planet.

- Who are the Dwarves?
In the far future, the Dwarves are basically the SWAT team of the interplanetary mining conglomerate Deep Rock Galactic. When all other measures have failed - when a mineshaft has suddenly gone dark, or a particularly heavy alien infestation is uncovered - the Dwarves are the ones you send in. And things tend to fail alot when you're attempting to establish a profitabke mining operation on the most hostile planet in the galaxy.

- The most hostile planet in the galaxy?
Oh yes. The executives of Deep Rock Galactic have had their eyes on this awful rock for a long time, because it is so unusually rich in valuable and rare materials. The downside of this is that it is the home of one of the largest collection of hostile alien species ever encountered as well. This is an ugly planet. An bug planet. A bug planet and a xenomorph planet. A planet of things like corrosive worms that would like nothing better than to take up residence in your sinus cavities. It's bad, is what we're saying.

- So how are you meant to survive down there?
While Deep Rock Galactic might be stingy with the paychecks, they have never spared any expense on equipment. The dwarves are decked out with the heaviest weapons and the most advanced gadgets this side of Rigel VII. Anything from heavy flamethrowers to guns that fire climbable concrete platforms into walls - if it can be bought for money, the dwarves have access to it. Learning to navigate the caverns quickly, work together, and efficiently use your tools are the keys to survival

- What engine is the game made in?
The game is made in Unreal Engine 4.

- Will there be progression? Levels? Unlocks?
Currently you gain levels to the characters you play and your account, every 3 levels your Classes gain adds 1 level to your account, this unlocks game modes, upgrades, and some cosmetic things in the memorial hall. More of everything is of course planned!

There will be one soon, probably on Trello ! Atm they're focusing on putting out fires

Originally posted by Maevine: Forgive me if this was already asked, but how frequently will this game be updated? If there's no set schedule, is there an estimate between every update?

Hm well since they started working on this game in august 2016 we've gone through 7 major updates so far, but the last few months were mostly tied up in the launch and PR/marketing stuff. So that kind of gives you a track record. They should also start doing more Vlogs and post a roadmap soon enough!

Of course not, but i'd love to see Loot Barrels someday :)...not the kind you can open. Just fancy looking barrels!

yes!
