About the Game
Welcome, Survivor!
DEEP ROCK GALACTIC: SURVIVOR is a single player survivor-like auto-shooter. Take on hordes of lethal aliens, mine riches, and unlock powerful upgrades to survive, as you wield the full arsenal of Deep Rock Galactic. It's one dwarf against all of Planet Hoxxes!
REVERSE BULLET HELL, WITH MINING
Kill bugs, upgrade your gear, and delve ever deeper into the lethal caves of Hoxxes. Collect and assemble a devastating array of guns, unleash hell upon wave after wave of alien monsters in fast and frenetic combat, and tunnel your way to collect precious riches from deep within the cave walls. With the auto-shooter gameplay, you don’t worry about aiming and firing – just run and mine for your life, as you automatically blast away.
Each mission is entirely unique with its own procedural cave generation and enemy waves, just as you've come to know from Deep Rock Galactic.
COMPLETE MISSION OBJECTIVES TO BECOME STRONGER
Dig deep, Miner! Once the Drop Pod releases you into the oppressive darkness, you’re on your own. Complete the mission objectives set forth by the Company, and make it back to the Drop Pod in time to try your luck at even more deadly and lucrative encounters. Progress deeper and deeper into the planet while you grow ever stronger, survive all the way to the very end of your assignment, and finally get extracted alongside your hefty sack of loot.
DEEP ROCK, FROM A WHOLE NEW PERSPECTIVE
Now you can explore the Deep Rock Galactic universe in a whole new single-player-focused experience! Play each mission from a top-down perspective, navigating the caves of Hoxxes as you've never seen them before, soaking it up through nonstop auto-shooter action. Greybeard Deep Rock veterans will recognize much from Deep Rock Galactic, and if you are a recently joined Greenbeard: Welcome all the same! We are thrilled to have you on board. You will like it here. Management requires it.

Hello Miners,
It’s time to gear up. Today we’re launching Heavy Duty, a brand-new paid DLC packed with destructive firepower, frozen frontiers, and high-stakes missions. Alongside it, a free update rolls out to all players with endless mode, mastery rewards, tag system changes, and the usual slew of system improvements, bug fixes, and balance changes.
Let’s break it down:
[dynamiclink href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/4395500/Deep_Rock_Galactic_Survivor__Heavy_Duty_Expansion/"]
HEAVY DUTY EXPANSION (DLC):
NEW CLASS: THE DEMOLISHER
Built for destruction. Engineered for overkill.
For the first time in DRG history, we’re introducing a new class: The Demolisher.
This new powerhouse class operates a fully weaponized industrial vehicle known as the Rockdozer, turning the battlefield into a demolition site. Crush the swarms beneath your wheels, leaving a trail of devastation. If the other dwarves fight the bugs…the Demolisher plows them down.
The Demolisher brings an arsenal of 11 new weapons with him to Hoxxes, available to other classes via the tag system
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43726543/db93b2e83a7e8697813bac7fc2b25ba2a978ec1f.gif"]
NEW MISSION: EGG HUNT
Collect alien eggs and have Bosco deliver them to a central cargo pod in a star-shaped flow, forcing you to branch out and return under fire. Once you hit the quota, a short grace period lets you risk it all for extra rewards… if you dare.
Deliver the final egg, and everything changes. A Brood Nexus erupts on top of the pod, locking down your exit and triggering a multi-phase boss fight. It spawns relentless waves of enemies, and at key moments, creates Nexus Sprouts that must be destroyed before you can damage the nexus again.
NEW BIOME: GLACIAL STRATA
Glacial Strata introduces a fast-paced frozen biome where the environment is as powerful as your arsenal. Slide across smooth ice for bursts of speed at the cost of control, trigger deadly icicle traps by shattering ice crystals, and face new cryo-infused enemies adapted to the cold.
With more biome choices added to missions, and without increasing progression requirements, you gain greater freedom to tackle challenges your way.

Update 1.1 (Free Content)
Endless Mode
The long-awaited Endless Mode is finally here.
The first 10 stages of an Endless Dive are shorter, with increased enemy density. You will move through these early stages quickly while ramping up your power at a much faster pace than usual.
Endless is a variant of Elimination, but with its own constraints. You can only carry up to 15 artifacts, so every choice matters. From stage 11 onward, the challenge shifts. Difficulty increases significantly, and each stage will test your build and decision-making skills.
We have spent months optimizing Survivor, but we fully expect players to find new and creative ways to push systems to their limits. We are looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
Mastery Rewards
For those who take on the toughest hazards, mastery now comes with additional rewards.
Mastery milestones grant rewards based on mastery points earned. Higher hazard levels yield more points, meaning greater rewards for players who push themselves further.
This system is aimed at the greybeards who want their skill and persistence to be recognized.
Tag System Expansion
With the new weapons and effects added to the pool from the DLC, we wanted to expand the available synergies and give all players more options and variation in their builds. That’s why we’ve added new tags and tag synergies.
We have added new overclocks to match the tags, so if you pick a Sidearm overclock, you can also get an Ultimate Sidearm Unstable overclock. If you pick the sidearm overclock on multiple weapons, you can start getting upgrade cards to match that synergy.
Some tags already existed, like Spray and Precise, but were never used, so now you can pick upgrade cards for those as well!
The new tags and tag synergy upgrade cards are:
Sidearm, Favourite, Groundzone, Thick Boy, Spray, and Precise
Improvements & Fixes
Picking overclocks now adds relevant \
Upgraded to Unity 6
KD-tree-based physics improvements
XP cube performance optimizations
VFX system improvements
Memory leak fixes and general stability improvements
Achievement “Unreasonable uptime”: Fixed an issue where the achievement still required 60 seconds, even though it should be 30 seconds. (again)
Achievement “Undercooked”: Fixed an issue where you didn’t get the achievement if you salvaged the Overclock. (again)
Mission Goals: Fixed an issue where you had to complete 2 stages instead of just 1 while activating B0b-33 no more than 2 times. Also, B0b-33 now only activates if there is fuel. (again)
Improved the design of achievements where you have to equip 6 pieces of gear of the same rarity. It now also counts higher rarity gear. (……again)
Balance changes
Overclock balance
NEW UOC: Ultimate sidearm: +60% damage to all other weapons
Weapon balance
"Lead Storm" Powered Minigun buffed: Clip size 150 → 200, base damage 25 → 28
Voltaic Stun Sweeper buffed (again): Base damage 48 → 55, Potency 20 → 22
Breach Cutter (again): Has the \ tag
Artifacts balance
Multi Tool nerfed: Reload speed -25% → -20%, every unique \ equipped: reload speed +5% → +4%
Elimination gate 2 nerfed (again): Mandatory Pep Talk now gives +10% XP gain, and +100 Max HP, Omega Mini Exploders mutator is changed to Serrated Claws II
That’s everything for today’s launch. Whether you’re crushing bugs with the Demolisher or pushing your limits in Endless Mode, there’s a lot to dig into.
Now get back down there, miner.
Rock and Stone.
Features
Mid-game saving is here!
The game will now autosave when you enter the shop. If you need to end the game before finishing a run, it will resume at the beginning of your last shop visit.
Improvements & Fixes
Optimized bullet trail rendering. This reduces the CPU load in bullet-heavy scenarios
We introduced additional levels to some of the upgrades in the upgrade menu, depicted with an extra ring in the screenshot below

Today, we released a tiny security patch on Steam. Version 1.0.87p (same as the last version number)
Unity Technologies have found a security flaw in their engine that affects Windows, and todays update has that flaw patched out.
Unity says that they have no knowledge of anyone exploiting this issue, and no users have been at risk.
For Deep Rock Galactic : Survivor - no one was ever at risk, since this is a single player game (unless you accidentally invited a hacker physically into your house with a USB stick).
Unity and Microsoft have already updated Windows Defender, so without this patch, you might experience issues with being allowed to play the game.
No other changes are included in this patch.
For technical details on the vulnerability see https://unity.com/security/sept-2025-01#details
