Deep Rock Galactic season 2 will add new weapons and robots

Lace up those miner's boots, because a new season is about to arrive in colourful co-op game Deep Rock Galactic. Developers Coffee Stain Publishing and Ghost Ship Games have announced that the Season 2 performance pass will kick off April 28 on PC, and it'll be adding a selection of new weapons, a new robotic rival, and more.

The developers say the Season 2 performance pass offers about double the amount of rewards over the first season pass. You can earn scrip and rank up your performance pass by participating in any mission, or you can jump into the new special season event mission. As the season progresses, you'll be able to spend scrip on new seasonal beards, helmets, weapon frameworks, and more - all found on the season's unlock tree.

The seasonal event is called Rival Signal, and Ghost Ship says it's a race against the clock to interrupt the Rival Communications Router. You'll have to gather the data cell stored in the router and shut everything down before it self-destructs, all the while fending off hordes of the Rivals' angry robots. You'll also have to be on the lookout for a new nemesis, about which Ghost Ship will say little, other than that it's armed with "giant claws."
