Achievement Hunting Tips

Practical tips and strategies for efficiently hunting and unlocking all achievements in Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor.

Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor features a vast array of achievements, many of which require specific playstyles or conditions. Here are some tips for efficient achievement hunting:

• Character Unlocks: Simply play the game to unlock the Scout, Driller, Engineer, and Gunner.
• Resource Achievements: Focus on mining Gold ('Get that Midas touch', 'Au-fully rich') and Nitra ('Gotta stay Nitrated', 'Sprinkle of Nitra') in early dives. Spending Gold ('Corporate Discount', 'Big spender') will come naturally with progression.
• Statistical Achievements: Dedicate specific runs to certain stats. For example, a run focused on Max HP and Armor for 'Delicious BLT' and 'Why so Salty?', or a run with high fire rate weapons for 'Count em!'.
• Weapon Overclocks & Masteries: Choose one weapon per dive and focus all your upgrades on it to reach level 18 for its Overclock achievement. For 'True Mastery' achievements, you'll need to complete a dive at Hazard 5 with that weapon, requiring a highly optimized build.
• Situational Achievements: 'Close call' (kill Dreadnought with <30 HP) might require intentionally taking damage or getting lucky. 'Pillar of Society' (15,000 kills standing still) requires a very specific, high-survivability, high-AoE build.
• Exploration: 'Axe in face!' (destroy all rocks in one main mission stage) encourages thorough mining and exploration.
• Death: Don't worry about dying; 'Hoxxes Manual' is earned by dying 3 times, and it's a natural part of learning the game.

Many achievements will unlock naturally as you play and experiment, but some require a conscious effort and dedicated runs. Use the achievement list as a guide for new challenges and ways to experience the game.
