Overclock Categories

Explore the Overclock Categories in Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor. Learn how to effectively manage and utilize overclocks to enhance your mining and combat capabilities.

Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor introduces a system of Overclocks that significantly alter weapon performance. These can be broadly categorized to help players understand their impact and make informed choices during gameplay.

• Damage Overclocks: These primarily focus on increasing the raw damage output of weapons, either per shot, per second, or through enhanced critical hit effects.
• Utility Overclocks: These enhance a weapon's secondary functions or add new utility. This could include increased ammo capacity, faster reload times, improved status effect application, or unique firing modes.
• Area of Effect (AoE) Overclocks: These modify weapons to affect multiple targets or a larger area. This might involve splash damage, wider projectile spread, or the ability to pierce through enemies.
• Rate of Fire Overclocks: These focus on increasing how quickly a weapon can fire, leading to higher sustained damage output and quicker clearing of weaker enemies.
• Unique/Transformative Overclocks: Some overclocks fundamentally change how a weapon functions, offering entirely new firing patterns, projectile types, or even secondary effects that are not directly tied to damage or standard utility.

Understanding these categories will help players tailor their loadouts to specific mission types, enemy compositions, and personal playstyles.
