Cómo jugar

Controles básicos

Los controles básicos de Deep Rock Galactic son los siguientes: 1) Movimiento: tus enanos pueden moverse en un espacio tridimensional. Las acciones de movimiento disponibles son las siguientes:

• Podrás moverte en superficies horizontales usando las teclas de dirección (ARRIBA, ABAJO, IZQUIERDA, DERECHA).
• Podrás saltar pulsando ESPACIO para moverte en el eje vertical.
• Los enanos no pueden agacharse.

2) Acciones básicas:

• Pulsa el BOTÓN IZQUIERDO del ratón para disparar cualquier arma de fuego o para golpear con tu pico.

Avanzando en el juego

Al completar el pequeño tutorial, serás teletransportado a una estación espacial en órbita, conocida como Plataforma Espacial. Aquí podrás relajarte entre misión y misión, comprar personalizaciones y mejoras para tu equipo, activar y abortar encargos o beber en el Abyss Bar.

Si eres un jugador nuevo, necesitas completar un encargo de 9 misiones, llamado Periodo de prueba, antes de poder acceder a todas las regiones de Hoxxes IV.

Las misiones de los encargos vendrán marcadas con un pequeño diamante blanco (). Completa cada una de estas misiones para avanzar en el encargo y recibir materias primas y créditos, con los que podrás mejorar tu equipo o comprar objetos en la tienda de accesorios.

Una vez que hayas completado las misiones del Periodo de prueba, podrás jugar a las misiones que quieras o hacer otras cosas. Visita las diferentes regiones planetarias y consigues materias primas, completa más encargos y desbloquea nuevas armas y terminales, compra accesorios para convertirte en un enano único o enfréntate a las misiones más complicadas con mutadores que te harán sudar (pero que te proporcionarán grandes bonificaciones en EXP y créditos).

Comenzar una misión

Los enanos son empleados que serán enviados desde la Plataforma Espacial hasta la superficie de Hoxxes IV para cumplir con diversas misiones. Si interactúas con la terminal de Misiones, podrás elegir qué región planetaria quieres visitar, la misión a completar, su dificultad y el tipo de modo de juego. Después de aceptar la misión, solo tienes que entrar en la cápsula de transporte para que comience la cuenta atrás tras la cual comenzará tu viaje a la zona designada. ¡Recuerda tener todo tu equipo listo antes de subir a dicha cápsula!

Zonas del juego

Actualmente existen un total de 9 zonas diferentes para explorar en Hoxxes, y cada una de ellas cuenta con detalles visuales, elementos interactivos y peligros diferentes que tendrás que considerar. Las misiones se generarán con diferentes mapas y zonas en ciclos de 30 minutos, permitiéndote una jugabilidad infinita en la que nunca visitarás la misma cueva dos veces. Mejorar tu equipo implica conseguir recursos, y dichos recursos se obtienen de zonas específicas del juego, por lo que tendrás que planear bien tus misiones para conseguir lo que necesitas y poder progresar. Las regiones actualmente disponibles son las siguientes:

• Cavernas Cristalinas
• Ciénagas Fúngicas
• Estratos Glaciales
• Biozona Densa
• Zona de Exclusión Radiactiva
• Núcleo de Magma
• Pozos de Sal
• Pasillos Erosionados
• Lumicavernas Azúreas
• Enramada Espinosa

Tipos de misiones

Once you've selected an area, you'll be given a list of mission types currently available in that area. Each mission has a primary objective and a bonus objective, as well as a Mission Length and a Cave Complexity. Sometimes two missions of the same type will be offered, but with such different objectives that they will play very differently, so take note! The current Mission Types are:

— Expedición Minera

The original and simplest mission, these will comprise of two mineral collection objectives, or a mining objective with a secondary collection objective. You will be dropped into the top of a cave system, and typically have to go down through multiple cave layers to gather the required minerals, before making your way back to a landing zone near the top of the caves to make your escape.

— Egg Hunt

Your main objective is to locate and deposit a specific number of Alien Eggs. The mission takes place in a nonlinear cave system, and you can collect the eggs in any order. The Alien Eggs are surrounded by dull, pink, organic material that can be mined to free them. Beware, as breaking the eggs out of the organic matter will summon a large swarm of enemies.

— Eliminación

These missions are focused on finding and eliminating a number of Glyphid Dreadnoughts, which are busily maturing in Cocoons until you find your way through the caves to them. After they're all dead, make your way back to a landing zone for extraction via the Drop Pod.

— Salvage Operation

The main objectives do not focus on mining. You must repair up to three M.U.L.E.s, after which you set up triangulation as well as fuel cells for a rundown drop pod. You must defend and stay in a zone around each of these. Once that's complete you'll have to hold out until Mission Control prepares the now linked up drop pod for your escape.

— Punto de Extracción

These mining missions will have you collect Aquarqs in a radius around your drop site, which is protected by turrets, while being attacked by constant waves of enemies and periodic larger swarms. Once all of your materials are gathered, they are launched out with a rocket and you must make your way to a separate landing site for extraction via the Drop Pod.

Una vez comiences la misión, tus objetivos principal y secundario se mostrarán en la parte superior derecha de la pantalla.

Mutadores

Los mutadores son circunstancias especiales que modifican los parámetros básicos de una misión, ya sea de forma positiva, negativa o ambas. Los mutadores pueden tener muchos efectos, desde mejorar la velocidad de los enanos a provocar una infestación de glífidos explosivos. Para orientarte mejor, los avisos son mutadores negativos, mientras que las anomalías son positivas o neutrales a efectos prácticos.

Avisos

Exploder Infestation Warning Exploder Infestation: More exploders will spawn than usual.

Shield Disruption: Shield is practically disabled.

Plaga mactera: There will be twice as many Macteras.

Cave Leech Clusters Warning Cave Leech Clusters: There will be many more cave leeches on the ceiling.

Haunted Cave: You will be pursued by an invisible, unkillable monster.

Enemigos letales: Enemies melee attacks deal double the normal damage.

Bajo oxígeno: You will need to return to Molly or other sources of oxygen or else choke on toxic air.

Parásitos: All medium sized and larger enemies will spawn carnivorous parasites upon death.

Bichos regenerativos: All enemies replenish their health if the have not taken damage recently.

Anomalías

Gold Rush: More and larger gold veins will appear.

Mineral Mania: Crafting minerals will be more common.

Baja gravedad: Significant reduction to gravity but you can still receive fall damage.

Critical Weakness: Enemy weak spots increase damage even further.

Golden Bugs: Every kill will drop 1 unit of gold.

Atmósfera rica: You will move much faster and will be able to sprint while carrying large minerals, your voice is also higher pitched.

Cavern Combat

As you explore the caves you'll encounter various creatures, including Glyphids, flying Mactera, Cave Leeches, Spitball Infectors, and many others. Periodically, Mission Control will announce that they have detected an incoming swarm, and large numbers of enemies will converge on the Dwarven Employees' location for a fight. Make sure you are ready!

If you are low on ammunition, you can order a Resupply Pod for 80 Nitra.

Understanding Your Role

A good team can be made up of any combination of Dwarven Employees, but it's important to understand what makes each one unique, and how to put their special talents to use to help your team. A well balanced team with good communication will stand a better chance at surviving deep down in Hoxxes IV.

Playing As the Driller

Artículo principal: Driller

The Driller's primary responsibility is crowd control with his CRSPR Flamethrower, and using his Reinforced Power Drills to quickly create entrances and staircases to help others access difficult to reach locations or materials. The Driller is also armed with powerful Satchel Charges that can deal huge amounts of damage to his foes.

Playing As the Engineer

Artículo principal: Engineer

The Engineer has two powerful support tools, An LMG Gun Platform and a Platform Gun. Set up turrets to defend against swarms of enemy creatures, and use your Platform Gun to provide your team with ground to stand on and platforms to reach high up minerals. Team up with the Scout to reach resources that are high up on cave walls.

Playing As the Gunner

Artículo principal: Gunner

The Gunner is equipped with a powerful Powered Minigun to protect the team from the monsters of the deep. The Gunner's responsibility is all around defense. His Zipline Gun gives the whole team the ability to cross distant chasms and with holdable items. The Gunner is also equipped with a Shield Generator that he can throw to protect his team and recharge their shields.

Playing As the Scout

Artículo principal: Scout

The Scout collects hard-to-reach ores using his Grappling Gun, and helps defend the team using his Deepcore GK2 and Jury-Rigged Boomstick, and launches flares using his Flare Gun to provide light in the darkness. While the other dwarves are equipped with a standard Frag Grenade, the Scout has a special Inhibitor-Field Generator grenade which slows down enemies and causes them to take more damage.

Ranking Up

Character Rank

The character badge.

As you play each of the game's four classes, you will gain experience and ranks separately for each of the different classes, up to rank 25. Some weapon and equipment upgrades require you to have a certain rank before you can unlock them. Your current rank and experience progress are indicated at the top left of the screen below your Class Badge.

Player Rank

Your progress as a player is also tracked at the top right of the screen on the Player Badge, the blue gem which shows your name and player rank in title and number form, as well as your current credit balance. You rank up each time the blue gem fills all three of its sections up, and one section fills up each time you gain a rank with one of the four classes.

Equipment

All dwarves start with a basic set of a primary and a secondary weapon, some grenades, a Pickaxe, throwable flares, basic armor and their respective special tools which are described above.

Usage and ammunition

Your weapons, grenades and special tools work like one would expect: If you fire/throw/use them, you spend ammunition of the respective tool.

Throwable flares refill over time at no cost. If you throw too many you will have to wait a short time until the next one is ready, but you will never have to stay in the dark for too long.

Your pickaxe can be used forever.

Your armor consists of two layers: An energy shield, which get's used up if you take damage but refills slowly if you don't take any more for some time, and the bare skin of your dwarf ("Hit Points") which gets exposed as soon as your shield gets used up completely and can only be healed with azúcar rojo and at Supply Pods.

Improvement

All of your equipment can be improved by buying modifications at the Equipment Terminal. Each object features multiple slots for mods which must be earned by leveling up with the respective class. For most slots multiple mods can be purchased - however, only one mod per slot can be used. This still leaves room for a hefty amount of personalization and improvement. Available mods can be found on the pages of the respective weapons.

Unlocking new gear

Beside the improvement of your starter set, each class has access to one additional primary, one additional secondary weapon and two more grenade types. All of them must be earned and then purchased. While the grenades are only level locked (to prevent greenbeards from playing around with Cluster Grenades), the weapons must be earned by completing the corresponding assignment.

Assignments

An Assignment orders you on a short set of missions, which must be played and accomplished in a particular order (albeit not necessarily in direct succession) to fulfill the Assignment. Most assignments are in place to reward you with something unique in the game: New weapons, access to higher hazard levels or the Mineral Trading Terminal. Two assignment types deviate from this: On the one hand, there are the Weekly Priority assignments which get renewed every week and pay a nice amount of credits and crafting minerals. There are also the Promotion assignments which are unlocked when one of your dwarves reaches the maximum class level, and are used to promote the Dwarf and reset your class level(Unlocked weapons and upgrades are kept)

Aptitudes

Aside from improving your gear you can also improve yourself. This is realized with Perks. In your Cabin, at the Key Performance Indicator Terminal (screen at the wall), you can see your Milestones (i.e. play 5 rounds in this biome). Upon completing a milestone, you can claim Perk Points which in turn can be invested in Perks. Perk Points and Perks are permanent and consistent across all classes. Your perks can be equipped at the Equipment Terminal.
