The Driller is one of the four playable dwarves of Deep Rock Galactic.

His primary weapon set consists of the CRSPR Flamethrower, the Cryo Cannon and the Corrosive Sludge Pump while his secondaries consist of the Subata 120, the Experimental Plasma Charger and the Colette Wave Cooker. He has the Reinforced Power Drills, the Satchel Charge and the "Mole" Armor Rig as his equipment and the Impact Axe, the High Explosive Grenade, the Neurotoxin Grenade and the Springloaded Ripper as his throwables.


About[]

As the DRILLER, you'll be equipped with a set of TITANIUM POWERDRILLS. Your job is to clear any blocked tunnels and obstacles in the path of your team, and in combat you are also a force to be reckoned with: Your drills make short work of most enemies up close, and for longer range engagements you are equipped with a heavy duty FLAMETHROWER.
— Class Description

The Driller can create stairways, pathways and clear obstacles for the team using his Reinforced Power Drills. While excellent at digging through terrain, the Reinforced Power Drills are unable to mine minerals such as Gold and Nitra.

He is equipped to control large hordes of enemies using any of his primary weapons, which will incinerate, freeze, or melt his foes at close range. He also has a dependable Subata 120, Experimental Plasma Charger, or Colette Wave Cooker for longer range combat, as well as a destructive Satchel Charge for clearing rocks, bugs, or scouts.

The Driller has four throwables to pick from: the Impact Axe which is tossed and deals impact damage to enemies, the High Explosive Grenade which functions as a standard frag, the Neurotoxin Grenade which detonates in a cloud of toxic (and highly volatile) gas that explodes if ignited, and the Springloaded Ripper which, when tossed, will go in a straight line damaging enemies and looping on terrain if it forms a loop.

Equipment[]

All classes have twelve pieces of gear, each of which can be individually upgraded using Credit Credits and crafting resources. There are currently four unlockable weapons per class. Each weapon has its own assignment. Once a weapon assignment has been completed, that weapon can then be purchased from the upgrade terminal.
