Don't call the drop pod until everyone is ready.

Don't take 2 resupplies unless someone says so, or you clearly need it more.

Don't take someone else's beer! You thieving scum!

Don't be inconsiderate when calling the Mule, someone might be trying to deposit a heavy object.

NEVER insult Karl lest ye smite yeself with ye foolish words.


Do watch for friendly fire!

Do be a friendly dwarf and salute your teammates! Rock and stone!

Do buy your teammates a beer, don't be a leaf lover.

Do have fun, DRG has a very friendly community, so be nice :)

1) Always platform hard-to-reach resources so the Scout can get them.










2) Make it a habit to put up your Turret whenever there's going to be action. Noob engineers forget to put their turret down, thus not making use of an important part of their arsenal. I recommend one turret (twin turrets are also viable) with target prioritisation.










3) Take out swarms of grunts with your powerful secondary weapons. Breach cutter was nerfed in update 32, still a viable choice but I recommend the grenade launcher instead. Nuke is the best overclock, but watch out for the friendly fire.













1) One of your jobs is to use your grapple hook to get inconvenient resources, especially the ones that the Engineer platforms. You lack a bit of firepower so make up for it with gathering stuff. You should also be the one to go revive fallen friends if they're in a tricky spot.










2) Use your Flare Gun to light up the ceilings of big caves to see leeches, fossils, resources, gunk seeds, ETC.










3) Scouts typically have a longer range primary weapon, so you should snipe those aliens lurking at the other side of the cave.














1) Use your Zipline to make big gaps, cliffs or ravines more easy to traverse.










2) Because the Gunner has heavy weaponry, they should prioritise killing enemies over mining minerals. I recommend the Autocannon with the Carpet Bomber overclock for swarms and the Bulldog pistol for single targets.










3) Throw down a Shield for protection when reviving a friend.













1) It's your job to Drill out dirt/blocked tunnels, eggs, staircases, ETC.










2) At the end of a mission, if the terrain is difficult, drill a tunnel to the drop pod (And don't forget to mark it for your buddies). Remember to be efficient with your fuel and look at the 3D map so you don't miss shortcuts.










3) In some situations, (typically hazard 4 or higher) the driller can work with the engineer to make bunkers. This is a more advanced technique that can easily go wrong. (I'll make another guide for bunkers)










4) The drillers second secondary weapon, the Experimental Plasma Charger, is a very useful tool, I'll make another guide on how you can use the EPC to clear bad terrain, take out groups of enemies and even gather resources.
