Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor adds an entertaining twist to the “survivors” bullet hell shooter genre, standing out as one of the more enjoyable recent releases in this category.
The original Deep Rock Galactic, launched in 2020, is a class-based co-op game featuring “badass space Dwarves” delving into procedurally generated caves, battling aliens together. Survivor expands upon this universe with a fresh take on gameplay.
Unlike its co-op FPS predecessor, Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor offers a solo experience. Players venture into caves solo, gathering resources, upgrading abilities, and battling bosses, akin to titles like Vampire Survivors within the genre.
Red Sugar is a vital resource that players must mine to progress in Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor. Understanding its importance is crucial for completing dives and overcoming bosses to unlock new levels and characters.
How to get Red Sugar
Red Sugar can be found within the rock walls across various dive locations. It appears as a single, large red mineral embedded in the rocks and must be mined to collect.
Unlike Nitra, another red consumable that spawns in clusters, Red Sugar must be individually mined. Players must approach it and strike it multiple times to extract it. Additionally, Red Sugar can drop from Loot Bugs found in various locations.
Once mined, Red Sugar falls to the ground and can be picked up under specific conditions. Here’s how to utilize Red Sugar effectively in Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor.
How to use Red Sugar
In Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, Red Sugar serves as a health restoration item and can only be collected when your health is not at maximum.
The recommended approach is to weaken the Red Sugar mineral with your pickaxe, then mine it and collect it when you need to replenish your health. Alternatively, you can mine it and leave it on the ground, but be cautious as it may disappear or become lost amidst alien enemies.
Moreover, periodically dropped cargo crates within each dive may contain power-ups that increase your permanent health each time you collect Red Sugar, providing an additional incentive to utilize this resource strategically.
