[h2]Attention, Miners!
[/h2]
More teasers are inbound. First, a quick look at what is coming to Hoxxes when Season 03 arrives. Last week you saw a brief glimpse of something previously not seen before in the caves. And this week, you get a closer (although briefer) look at this unknown entity.

Yup, that is definitely not robots.

But do you know what is? The Engineer’s new Grenade - the Shredder Swarm!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

The Shredder Swarm Grenade spawns a swarm of reprogrammed Shredder Drones that will target any enemy in its vicinity. The Engineer has worked closely with R&D to ensure this miniature squadron of death does not target anything Dwarven. Management has complete faith in the reliability of this new addition to your arsenal, and can’t wait to see the improvements to productivity and overall deadlines brought forth by this flock of mechanical murderers.

We know you are excited for more, and we have more teasers coming soon. Stay tuned Miners!

Until then, get back to work.

Rock and Stone!

[h3]Hello Miners,[/h3]
OktoberFest can now also be enjoyed in German and other supported languages, and the performance point bar should now start correctly at the mission end screen.

With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

[h3]— PATCH NOTES —[/h3]
- Fixed a visual issue with the Best Wurst Beer Mug x2 Performance Point bonus
- Tweaked the lights at the Abyss Bar, should now be brighter
- Added missing translations for Oktober Event
- Updated the Oktober Splash Screen, scouts face is no longer obscured by a logo

[h2]Hello Miners,
[/h2]
We have a few more things to tease for Season 03. First up, something new has appeared in the caves of Hoxxes. We don’t want to spoil too much, but you might be able to spot it in this short clip:

We will be talking more about…whatever it is…very soon.

For something more hands-on (pun intended), check out the Springloaded Ripper, the second in the lineup of new grenades for Season 03:

This throwable workplace hazard unleashes a set of springloaded sawblades that will shred most organic matter it encounters. Operate with care and deadly precision. Management considers this new tool a prime example of why beer is not allowed on missions.

That’s it for this round - stay tuned for more teasers and upcoming reveals, and do be sure to catch our dev streams every Thursday and Friday on Twitch (channel: ghostship_games).

With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

[h2]Hello Miners!

Oktoberfest has officially started on the Space Rig. ‘Tis time for beer, new hats, and work-related fun - and Management has supplied all of the above. Here’s what you can expect for the next two and a half weeks, in a bit more detail:

• A new assignment, the Oktoberfest Celebration assignment is now available to all eligible employees*. Complete it and receive a hefty reward, alongside the two new hats (see below)
  
• Two new hats, awarded in the Oktoberfest Celebration assignment (see above). Whether you favor the Kegger or the Trachtenhut, any of these two fine additions to your wardrobe will let anyone know that you were there at the DRG Oktoberfest 2022!
  
• The Best Wurst Beer, a seasonal, sausage-flavored brew for the event. We have heard it described as Oktoberfest in a mug…among other things.
  
• Earn Double Season XP! While Management had no issue securing enough of this new beer for the event, a shipment of Best Wurst Beer mugs crashed on approach and the mugs are now scattered across Hoxxes! Locating one during a mission and bringing it back will double your Mission Performance Points for that mission.
  
• Oktoberfest Decoration on the Space Rig - and there’s a lot of decorations this time around. For some reason, Oktoberfest really lit the creative spark in the Party Committee. Go see for yourself!
  

Enjoy Oktoberfest, Miners! Management is both excited to bring you this new event and slightly worried about what two and a half weeks of drinking and partying will do to overall productivity. Guess we’ll find out!

Rock and Stone!

With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew

Hello, Miners!

You probably all saw our Dev Stream last week where we showed one of the upcoming grenades for Season 03. But just in case you were getting a refreshment from the bar and missed it, here it is again. Say hello to the Scout’s new grenade: The Voltaic Stun Sweeper!

While The Voltaic Stun Sweeper does stretch the definition of ‘Grenade’, we firmly believe you will get a lot of good use out of this shocking version of a Boomerang.

There will be more teasers, announcements, and reveals from now until Season 03 releases. So keep on the lookout for future posts, watch our Dev Streams every Thursday and Friday, and join the official DRG discord if you want to stay in the loop of all things Deep Rock and Season 03.

Until next time,
Rock and Stone!

With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew
