Abyss Bar

"No Refunds! No Refills! No Regrets!"

- Abyss Bar Slogan

The Abyss Bar is a large section on the main floor of the Space Rig. Here you can have a drink with your fellow dwarves, dance to the tunes on the Jukebox or take rounds trying to kick barrels into the Barrel Hoop.

The Bar
At the Bar, you can order a drink from the robot bartender Lloyd. A price list is visible on the top right corner of the bar and when talking to Lloyd.

Starting from Rank 3, players are able to purchase Beers from the Abyss Bar. Depending on the potency of the drink and how many are consumed, the player's character may become intoxicated. The effects of intoxication include borders of the screen becoming a wavy double-image, the player's view will wobble around randomly and the player's character will move in random directions of their own accord. These effects will become more extreme if the player drinks more Beer, and if too much Beer is consumed in a short amount of time, the player's character will pass out drunk. If alone the player will respawn in the Infirmary, though if other players are present they will need to be revived - similar to losing all of one's health in a Mission. Either way, the player will wake up sober.

It is possible to enter a Mission while intoxicated, though there is no incentive for doing so besides bragging rights. You will not receive a Hazard Bonus for completing a Mission while drunk.

On the bar's counter players can see a small green tipping device, where they may pay 5 credits to leave a tip. This has no effect besides triggering a random dwarf voiceline thanking Lloyd.

'''Players who suffer motion sickness are advised to avoid drinking too much, as the effects of being drunk can cause dizziness and nausea. Make sure to drink Leaf Lover's Special to "cure" the effects of intoxication.'''

Lloyd
Lloyd the robotic bartender seems to be an all-purpose drone, similar to Bosco. However he wears a hat and bow tie, as well as being connected to what seems to be barrels of Ale in the ceiling. He can dispense drinks from his arms to serve the player if they order a drink from the bar.

By approaching and interacting with Lloyd, he projects a list of the available drinks with descriptions and price tags for you to order from. Upon ordering, as many tankards as there are players in your lobby will emerge, quickly being filled by Lloyd. Then each player can grab a tankard, give a salute and drink.

If the player cannot afford, or hasn't reached the rank requirement to purchase a drink, Lloyd will deny them service by shaking its chassis/head.

Available drinks
"Management reminds all employees that contrary to common belief the available drinks do intoxicate dwarves, do have influence on their ability to walk straight and do possess the potential to knock them out."

Craftable and special beers will require brewing materials found in missions in the form of collectible plants: Barley Bulb,  Yeast Cone,  Malt Star and  Starch Nut.

Corporate Issue
These drinks are always available.

Today's Special
These 8 drinks provide the dwarves with a buff once consumed. Only one of them is sold at a time, the special drink changes upon mission rotation and buffs can't be stacked.

Beer License required to be paid first to unlock the whole selection: 1000 Credits,  5 Barley Bulb,  10 Yeast Cone,  10 Malt Star,  15 Starch Nut.

Note: The effect from the Pots O' Gold only applies to gold mined with a Pickaxe. Gold detached from the walls by Bosco, environmental effects or with a weapon will not be doubled.

Craft(able) Beer
These 13 beers provide fun interactions and effects only in the Space Rig. Before they can be purchased, you will need to pay a sum of credits and Beer Hops to upgrade your beer licence. Each beer comes in its own unique cup.

Total Beer License Cost: 10300 Credits,  160 Yeast Cone,  174 Malt Star,  267 Starch Nut

Bonus Drink
Drinks that can only be ordered by owners of the Supporter Upgrade DLC.

Potency
The potency of the drink will affect the intoxication level of the player, adding to the total, causing different effects after passing certain thresholds. The intoxication level goes down by 1% every 24 seconds.

The effects of intoxication slowly become worse and worse as the player's tolerance is used up. These effect happen roughly at these points:

The Barrel Hoop
The Barrel Hoop mini-game is located at the back of the Abyss Bar. Players stand behind a barrel which is dispensed from above, and attempt to kick the barrel into a moving hoop that incinerates barrels, beer mugs and dwarves that pass through it. Scores can be reset via the red button to the right of the game. The player will die if they jump into the incinerator hoop, only to respawn in the medbay afterwards. If the player dies while intoxicated, they will receive an achievement.

Scoring and point values
The game consists of four phases, with the first phase active while no barrels have been passed through the hoop. Upon entry of a barrel, the game will allocate the appropriate points, and proceed to the next multiplier phase. All phases above first phase remain active until the hoop 'bounces' back 3 times from the time of a barrel's entry into it. If another barrel is passed through the hoop within the time limit, the game will progress to the next phase, capping out at Phase 4 where the point values are multiplied by 4. If a barrel is not passed through the hoop within the time limit, or a shot is missed, the game is returned to phase 1.

First phase has a 1x point modifier, Second phase 2x, Third phase 3x, and 4th phase 4x. Phases are indicated by the size of the text on the scoreboard located above the moving hoop, although the text size does not increase between phases 3 and 4.

Employee of the Month Screen


Just above and behind the Jukebox is the Employee of the Month Screen.

It shows the current name and profile picture of the Employee of the Month on the Deep Rock Galactic Discord, along with the Discord's current online and total users.

It also randomly shows one of 5 flavor texts;
 * Managed to mine 10000 Nitra without using a pickaxe.
 * Got a broken back after carrying the entire mission on the shoulders.
 * Won a drinking contest against Bosco.
 * Forgot to bring ammo to a mission. Highest kill count anyway.
 * Secretly knows what the error cube is for. Won't tell anyone.

The Jukebox
The Jukebox contains a wide variety of songs from many different genres that are literally irresistible to dance to. Whenever a song is playing and you are within range, you cannot fight the urge to dance! Cost 2 per use.

Jukebox Songs

† - Songs with this mark are non-instrumental and contain vocals.

Trivia
When enough resources and credits been collected to purchase a Beer License, there will be a short visual of a glass mug being filled with beer followed by six lines of comedic text relating to the creation of your license. Six random quotes can appear when obtaining a license:
