The Drill Guide | Deep Rock Galactic

I’m a dedicated gunner player, and whenever a driller drills straight to the dropship, I always watch his back the entire way without even thinking twice

For those looking to optimize ebonut collection, use impact axes. They instantly get rid of the shell, and you can pick them back up.

I had no idea drills had an absurd 10,000% armor breaking aspect to them :o

My man actually covered himself in wood chips just for that intro. That's dedication. Also, try drilling to 12 with your drill setup. It requires you to stop holding the button as you hear the 12 terrain break and your drill will hit 100%, but not overheat.

at 19:26 when you talk about sabotage, while none of the driller primaries work well against the boss, the flamethrower works obscenely well against the bots, as they instantly die when set on fire no matter the health

I still think the zipline launcher needs some love, the ability for the zipline to cart pears/chunks/eggs/aquarqs/data cells/ect would be a nice bonus having said that i find this guide amazing as any and all information on any classes is helpful :P

I'll be real - when I first started playing Driller seemed like the least interesting class. But the more I play and the more I watch other people's strats I see Driller is probably the best dwarf all around. Insane DPS, great utility, and if you're alone you can drill anywhere and get stuff you'd normally have a scout get, even if you're less efficient.

You can also use throwing axes to one shot the small ebonite glyphids, so not just the drills and pickaxe

it looks like the terrain was curved when you saved yourself, using the 2m wideness of the drills, you must have caught the terrain when it was closer to the drill range but far enough from your feet that you were able to drill in time

I'm a newly self-proclaimed driller main, and when i finally decided to look for ways to get gooder at drilling, many fellow dwarves pointed me to your channel, and your content is definitely helpful(and sometimes amusing). You've earned this Dwarf's subscription. Rock and Stone, brotha!

When drilling to the drop pod, especially when molly is lagging behind, drill just to the drop pod's entrance but don't breach the terrain. This essentially turns the tunnel into a map long bunky, allowing easier management of glyphid spawns until molly docks. when the gates are open (or when an oppressor decides to spawn inside the tunnel) simply breach the surface and run straight up to the drop pod. Bonus points if you breach with a C4 and everyone dashes out just like in the movies

I have quickly found the drillerr to be my favorite simply because I can immediately drill to the drop pod. Otherwise it is so difficult to leave the mission sometimes. This guide was amazing for me. Rock and stone! ⛏️

impact axes can also be used for traversal. you can stick them in the wall, climb up on them. Then retrieve them when you're done.

S+ driller guide! Explanation: I think you must be in precize angle with drills as you are falling down (little bit higher than aiming comletely down), so you are somehow closer to the side of that hole that is about to be created, and so you can ledge grab. Climb animation is canceled since you are still in drill animation. 2nd theory: Its somehow releated to reseting your velocity by drills and it could be affected by FPS in that given moment too. It could be even releated to physics in engine in a way like barrel jumping/boosting is, there is no way how to do it consistently.

5:50 Holy crap, pressing the jump key while the terrain scanner is up is a trick I had no idea about!

Fantastic Video! I was really surprised that you went over pretty much everything with the Drills, and your videos have helped a ton when I play Driller. Keep up the awesome content!

The drill save may work because ledge grabs cancel fall damage. As you are drilling out a piece of terrain below your feet, you create a ledge to grab. Maybe your character grabs this at the last second as you hit the ground where you drilled into?

outstanding video man. love your channel. i main driller (i literally cannot play another class lately because of the sheer versatility of the class), and i still learned more than a few things here. you deserve every subscriber you have in addition to many many more that i’m sure you’ll be getting soon :) rock and stone!

As a secret little tip, satchel charges can almost destroy all of the caretaker's vents or a load of their health if you get above them by either using a tunnel or by using a gunner's zipline

Greenbeard here, been playing a few days now with my buddy who is also new. We had a lightbulb moment when he said we're thinking like humans, think like a dwarf and since then we've been digging tunnels everywhere lmao. Great video as well. This is a really fun game.
