Mission Details
Cave Type	Unknown

Objective(s)	Collect 7-10 Aquarq
Payout	585-910
XP Payout	1750

Point Extraction is a mission type in Deep Rock Galactic.

A huge deposit of a glowing, blue crystal named Aquarq has been located, and the Dwarves are sent in to extract as many as possible. The Mine Head, a heavily armored mining platform, is sent in to assist you. Point Extractions are the third unlockable mission type, the second being Salvage Operation.

Aquarq Chunk — An Aquarq extracted from the walls

Collect Aquarqs

Point Extraction missions always take place in a large cavern filled with Aquarq. The Drop Pod lands in the cavern, along with the Mine Head, which lands shortly after the Drop Pod lands. The Mine Head acts as a central playing point throughout the mission. Similar to On-site Refining, the M.U.L.E. is not present, and resources gathered by the team must be deposited into the Mine Head.

The Aquarq that must be collected for the primary objective are embedded in the walls of the cavern. Small, blue crystals dot the location they are buried, and they must be dug out using the pickaxe or other terrain destroying tools or weapons. Aquarq are large resources, and must be carried back to the Mine Head by hand.

After the primary objective has been completed, a red button on the Mine Head platform will appear, and can be interacted with. Pressing the button using the [Interact] key ("E" by default) will launch the Mine Head rocket and Mission Control will announce that they will send in the Drop Pod to extract the Dwarves after the rocket has been secured at the Space Rig. The Drop Pod will take two minutes to arrive, after which the Drop Pod will land and open for three more minutes before departing, with or without the Dwarves.

While you must complete your primary objective to finish the mission, you can choose to collect an optional secondary objective resource for a Credit and Experience bonus upon mission completion.

Cave

Point Extraction missions take place in large, expansive open caves with various height levels. They always have at least one small tunnel that leads to a medium sized cave. Keep an sharp eye out for this cave, as it can be hard to spot. The Mine Head will always be positioned in the general center of the main cave.

Objectives

Primary Objective

Collect 7-10 Aquarqs

The number of Aquarq to collect is dependent on the length of the mission.

Length	Objective	Primary Payout	Secondary Payout
	Collect 7 Aquarq	585 1575	195/325
	Collect 10 Aquarq	910 2450	280/350 1260/1120
Base Values (complexity/length bonus deducted)
	Collect 10 Aquarq	650 1750	200/250 900/800

Secondary Objective

Unlike all other mission types besides On-site Refining, Point Extraction missions have Dystrum as a possible secondary objective.

Possible Secondary Objectives:

Collect 10 Alien Fossil

Collect 15 Apoca Bloom

Collect 20 Boolo Cap

Collect 100 Dystrum

Collect 14 Ebonut

Exterminate 10 Fester Flea

Collect 12 Gunk Seed

Collect 25 Hollomite

Trivia

Deep Rock Galactic refuses to send in the Drop Pod to save the team until after the goods are secured. This is even more evidence showing they prioritize profit over employee safety, and consider employees disposable.

Bugs

Mission Control will announce that the M.U.L.E. has been secured while ascending in the Drop Pod, despite the M.U.L.E. not being present in this mission type.

-== About ==
-Point Extraction missions always take place in a large cavern filled with [[Aquarq]] {{icon resource|Aquarq}}. The [[Drop Pod]] is landed into the cavern, along with the [[Minehead]] which unfolds and acts as a central playing point throughout the mission. Unlike all other mission types, the [[M.U.L.E.]] is not present, and [[resources]] gathered by the team must be deposited into the Minehead itself.<br/>

-The Aquarq that must be collected for the primary objective are embedded in the walls of the cavern. Small, blue crystals dot the location they are buried, and they must be dug out using [[Driller|Driller's]] [[Reinforced Power Drills|Titanium Powerdrills]] or a [[Basic Pickaxe|pickaxe]]. Aquarq are large resources, and must be carried back to the Minehead by hand. For this reason, it is recommened that at least one player on the team picks [[Gunner]] and deploys multiple ziplines around the cavern using his [[Zipline Gun]], as dwarves holding Aquarq can ride on ziplines with no movement penalty.<br/>

-Enemies in Point Extraction are far more common than any other mission type; they will attack frequently in large swarms. However, the automatic Sentry Turrets on the Minehead will assist the team in combat, and there is an abundance of [[Nitra]] {{icon resource|Nitra}} that can be used to order [[Resupply Pod|Resupply Pods.]]

-After the primary objective has been completed, a red button on the [[Minehead]] will become activated, and can be interacted with. Pressing the button will launch a spacecraft located at the top of the Minehead into space, and [[Mission Control]] will annouce that they will send in the Drop Pod to extract the dwarves after the Minehead has been secured at the [[Space Rig]]. After two minutes of defending against a final swarm, Mission Control will land the Drop Pod close by. The Drop Pod will wait for three more minutes before leaving the cavern.
