Deep Rock Galactic News

[h3]Hello Miners,[/h3]

We’re celebrating that Deep Rock Galactic has spent 3-Year-In-Orbit! So this list is not so much a Hotfix as it is a list of the new things added in connection to the event - Since a lot of the stuff will be around after the event is over - there is however one fix for a bug that made the tutorial a bit funky.

With Love,
Ghost Ship Games

[h3]--- PATCH NOTES ---[/h3]

-Squashed a bug that made you play as Scout in the Tutorial mission instead of Gunner.

-Added 3-Years-In-Orbit Party Hat! (Claimable during the 3-Year-In-Orbit Event)

-Added Free Beers (Claimable during the 3-Year-In-Orbit Event)

-Added Scale Brigade Frameworks to Cargo Crate Treasure pool.

-Added tip-machine to the bar.

-Added Armor Hunt Assignment that unlocks Scale Brigade Armor + Scale Brigade Armor Paintjob for all classes.Take note that this assignment can NOT be aborted once started.

During the 3-Year-In-Orbit Event ( Now to March 14th) the assignment will be available to all players who’ve completed the intro assignment “Conquer Hoxxes”.

After March 14 the assignment will, for those who didn’t complete it during the 3-Year-In-Orbit event, be available at Rank 100 and above.

[h3]Hello Miners, [/h3]

As we’ve mentioned, on Friday the 26th we will mark 3 years in orbit for Deep Rock Galactic and already starting this Thursday, we’ll be having a little anniversary fun.

Beginning Thursday 1:00 PM UTC+1, you can enjoy the 3-Year-In-Orbit Anniversary events including:

• NEW ARMOR HUNT ASSIGNMENT: Unlock the new Scale Brigade Armor and Headwear by completing a special Prestige Assignment. After the event, which will last until March 14th, this assignment will only be available to players with Rank 100 and above.
  
  UPDATE: It appears to be easy to misunderstand the rules about this Armor assignment. So let's try again: Until March 14th this assignment is available to EVERY miner that has completed the Conquer Hoxxes intro campaign. And after March 14th, it will be available as a Rank 100 assignment.
  
  
• NEW WEAPON FRAMEWORKS: Treasure hunt for the matching Scale Brigade Weapon Frameworks located in Cargo Crates. These Weapon Frameworks will continue to be available even after the event ends.
  
• Free 3-Years-In-Orbit Party Hat!
  
• Free Beers!
  
• And last but not least, don’t forget to tip Lloyd in the bar - he deserves it! (also a permanent addition)
  

The Anniversary event will end on March 14th at 7:00 PM UTC+1.



On Friday, at 3PM UTC+1 you’ll want to tune into our Anniversary Stream on Twitch, where we will reveal our new roadmap, do live Q&As, play a little game called Deep Rock Galactic and much more!

[h3]DON'T FORGET![/h3]
We’re nominated in two categories for the SXSW Gaming Awards. It would mean the world to us if you’d give us a little Rock & Stone, and put down a vote for us and other favorite games here before the voting ends at 11:59 PM CT tonight.

There’s also still time to throw in a submission for the Act Like A Dwarf competition, which will be closed for submissions Wednesday 11:59 PM UTC+1. Submit your video here.

Here we go, Miners!

On February 26 we will celebrate our three-year anniversary since launching into Early Access. A lot of things have happened since then, and we feel it’s about time we gave you all an in-depth status report on how the Ghost Ship is sailing - so we’ll do exactly that during our Anniversary Event, Friday, February 26th, where we will reveal our updated roadmap and treat you to much more.



Leading up to the anniversary event we’re having a free-form Act Like A Dwarf competition, where you show us your absolute best dwarven behavior. How you’re doing it is up to you, but we’ll find some winners on the 26th. There’ll be prizes for the 20 best submissions and a little extra for those three placing in the top 3.

There’ll also be a nice in-game event with a little “Tipsy” surprise and more.

Last but not least, we’ll be streaming throughout the day on Friday the 26th, where we’ll play Deep Rock Galactic, maybe do a little live Q&A, and give you a sneaky behind-the-scenes look at some of Robert’s secret stuff, if he’ll let us.

BUT WAIT, there's one more thing. We're nominated in two categories for this year's SXSW Gaming Awards. The categories are Indie Game of the Year and Excellence in Multiplayer - it would mean a lot to us if you would go cast your vote for us here.
