Description

This is a collection of useful life hacks that will simplify your hard work in DRG.
All these life hacks are designed for greenbeards, but perhaps experienced dwarves will learn something new.
I would also like to clarify that this guide was written thanks to a translator, so if something is crookedly translated, then write about it in the comments and I will try to fix it

You can also familiarize yourself with the other parts:

In Industrial Sabotage, when you activate the Caretaker and start attacking his vulnerabilities, you can walk along the edge of the platform without taking damage from electric traps.

To descend from a great height, you can attract the attention of a Praetorian/Oppressor/Dreadnought/Warden/Dwarf and landing on it, you will not receive damage from falling.

At the Omen event, use: platforms, ziplines, Molly, cleaning pod, supply pod, Refinery pipe to avoid damage from cutters.

Platforms

Zipline

Tin can

With the help of a drill or any other weapon, you can break the spit of a Spitballer or spits of Korlok Sprout or fireballs of drednaughts(only with weapon).

Drills

Weapon

You can climb faster on ziplines.
To do this, you need to: Hold Shift + W and quickly press E + Space bar.

Turrets and patrol bots explode when receiving a full charge of fire.

Playing as a driller, you can dig under the shooting turret in order to instantly destroy it. With a defense turret, such a trick will not work.

You can kill Huuli very quickly and easily if you have a scout with 2 cryo-grenades or bosco with 2 cryo-rockets in your team (well, or a driller with a cryo-cannon at the very least). Freeze it and kill it without playing catch-up.

Batteries for the cargo-crate will spawn within a radius of up to 30 meters. Keep this in mind when searching for batteries.
Also, do not forget to press TAB and check if there is a cave above or under the cargo box, because the batteries may be there.

#10

You can unload much faster and without a perk for unloading. To do this, you just need to rest against Molly and quickly press E + RMB

#11

If you replenish your health under an iron will, then you will not fall after it ends.
This works very well with the vampirism perk, when there is no supply-pod or red sugar nearby, then you can just kill 1 glyphid with a pickaxe.

#12

The Detonator and the Ghost-Detonator deal damage to other bugs, so they can be used to clear the area by sacrificing some of your blood.

#13

In order not to waste ammo on the Explosives Glyphids, just let them come to you, wait until they start detonating and run away. A lot of explosives were killed without loss of ammunition.

#14

A snowdrift softens the fall damage slightly

#15

Playing as a driller, you can easily break the ebonuts with your drill without spending a pickaxe power attack.

#16

In extraction mode, you can order Bosco to build or repair the pipe.
This is done with a laser pointer.

Build

Repair

#17

You can climb to the top of the Mobile Refinery so that the enemies can't get you (except for the spitters)

You can climb up this pipe

#18

The seasonal mutator (at the time of writing the manual, this is "Lithophage Outbreak") gives the largest percentage of the premium (50%) among all other mutators (15-30%).

Cave Leech Cluster - 15%
Parasites - 15%
Regenerative Bugs - 15%
Exploder Infestation! - 20%
Mactera Plague - 20%
Swarmageddon - 20%
Low Oxygen - 20%
Lethal Enemies - 25%
Elite Threat - 30%
Haunted Cave - 30%
Rival Presence - 30%
Shield Disruption - 30%
Lithophage Outbreak - 50%

#19

Even for an unfulfilled event of matrix cores (Ebonite Mutation, Kursite Infection, Tritilyte Crystal, OMEN), you will still get additional experience when the event is over.

#20

You can scan the area for the presence of useful ores with a laser pointer. Just hold the pointer and drive along the walls until waves appear next to the pointer.

#21

In Industrial Sabotage, Driller can throw c4 on the Caretaker's head to damage all 4 vulnerable places. To do this, the engineer needs to build a bridge for the driller from which he can drop the parcel, or driller can dig up the wall so as to be above the Caretaker's head.

BOOM BABY

#22

The more players there are, the stronger the enemies.

#23

You move faster while jumping

#24

You can set a waypoint (only visible for yourself) with the laser pointing by pressing 'use' (default: E). You can also see this waypoint on the scanner.

#25

Radiation crystals can be broken with a single blow in the middle. Just aim for where it glows the most.

#26

Playing as a gunner in Escort Duty, you can use any primary to destroy laser crystals by shooting them at the tops.
The same trick can be done with a grenade launcher from an engineer.

Gunner

Engineer

#27

Playing as an engineer in Escort Duty, at the second stage of drilling the Ommoran Heartstone, you can build platforms over the Doretta in order to protect it from stones.
It is important not to build in one layer, it will be better if you add a platform from the bottom and top.

#28 (bonus)

You can press like button! Give me likes and I will be glad

The End

Thank you for taking the time to read my manual. I hope your green beard has turned a little black while you've been reading.
Use these lifehacks and simplify life for yourself and other dwarves.

Beat the beetles, dont met the cave leeches. Rock and stone!

@Rick64 Thank youuu

I was going to criticize this work for being split-up into so many parts, but that was before I looked past the title.

Dude, awesome work! Very nice guide! Love the gifs! And the tips are very good!

I'm jealous and happy for you.

CHAUS [author] 5 Jul, 2023 @ 9:45am

@-----DASH-----, Thank you, I changed the numbers 18 and 27, so it's really much better.

Regarding number 7, I don't know for sure. But I think that if you have a "tap to sprint", then it won't work, it seems to me that the sprint will stop after you get hooked on the zipline

-----DASH----- 5 Jul, 2023 @ 4:11am

Amazing guide!!
#3 standing on Molly is a great tip. Why didn't I think of that, duh.

#7 does this only work for the setting 'hold to sprint', or also 'tap to sprint'?

Addition to #2: you can also land on pipelines from the Mobile Refinery, just hold 'use' (default: E) when you're about to smack into the pipeline from great height and you will start grinding, without taking ANY fall damage.

The same works for ziplines. When falling, don't try to grab it by pressing 'use' at the right time - instead, just hold 'use'.

#18 the 'super hit with a pickaxe' is called 'pickaxe power attack'

#27 the text is a bit confusing, I would suggest:
"You can set a waypoint (only visible for yourself) with the laser pointing by pressing 'use' (default: E). You can also see this waypoint on the scanner."

i never knew that you could defend the drill from the rocks with engi platforms! wow!

Waf 20 Apr, 2023 @ 12:09pm

The C4 on Caretaker can be done at the bottom of it if the range and dmg augment are taken

✟Christ Chan Gaming✟ 17 Apr, 2023 @ 3:57pm

didn't know PGL could destroy beamers like gunner's primaries can, also didn't know cruisers were valid for shooting zips from. very cool

Walter White Sex 17 Apr, 2023 @ 6:51am

Damn, I play driller and when the engineer build that bridge above the caretaker I did not understand why he was pinging me

Gnoll 16 Apr, 2023 @ 7:24pm

omfg so that's how people use iron will to self-rez? why hasn't that been patched out yet...

bewilderment aside, the is the best guide ever made

May your rocks be hard and your stones be heavy.
