The Minehead

The Mine Head is a specialized heavy lifter deployed by Deep Rock Galactic to assist the dwarves during Point Extraction missions.

Appearance

The Minehead is a large, yellow colored platform with a massive auger drill at the base, similarly to the Drop Pod. It is delivered to the Point Extraction mission area, where it lands and unfolds, revealing a wide metal surface for the team to stand on, a red button, four ramps leading up to the surface, and five solid yellow platforms where two floodlights and three large Sentry Turrets, similar to the Engineer's LMG Gun Platform, will be placed. At the top of the minehead lies a small spacecraft with two doors on either side. Once approached, the doors will open, allowing players to deposit their resources, including the primary objective mineral Aquarq, into a large mineral grinder.

Point Extraction

The Minehead serves as a central playing point for all Point Extraction missions. The Sentry Turrets and Floodlights are functional, and will fire upon enemies that enter their range. The Sentry Turrets having 400 rounds of ammo each, and once the ammo is depleted, they will disappear. Once the primary objective has been completed, Mission Control will announce that the launch controls are active. The red button on the Minehead will become active, and can be interacted with. Once pressed, the spacecraft in the center of the Minehead will return to the Space Rig by flying back up the tunnel it originated from. After two minutes of fending off a large swarm of enemies, the Drop Pod will land somewhere nearby, where it will wait for three minutes before departing.

Trivia

  • In the closed alpha, the floodlights and sentries present on the platform could be summoned similarly to the Resupply Pod by spending gold instead.
