Getting dropped onto an alien world as an ore-hungry dwarf is a lot more fun that it sounds. Once you’re kitted out and dropped into a mining expedition in Deep Rock Galactic, you have a lot of stuff to do. You can explore the depths of a rocky asteroid or planet, delving to your heart’s content. And that’s where the fun begins. The game already has a great tutorial system for explaining the basics, but it can’t hurt to use out-of-game resources too.
Learning the Deep Rock Galactic Controls can be the difference between life and death for a dwarf. If you can’t swap to your various weapons, you’re going to be in trouble. But, the game isn’t all about combat. There will be environmental hazards like giant chasms that you need to cross. Things like the Mobility Tool can help with that.
The various tools for requesting Resupply and moving around become vital for some of the higher difficulty levels. Check out the controls listed below for each platform, learn how to resupply, and more.
