Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor presents players with a multitude of choices as their characters level up, requiring them to select one of three skills for enhancement. Amidst the array of options, this guide aims to streamline the decision-making process and offer insight into the optimal character upgrades in Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor.
What skills to prioritize in Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor?
While players are typically presented with choices like fire rate, reload speed, crit chance and damage, mining and walking speed, these considerations become less significant beyond levels 15 to 20. This shift is due to the game’s feature allowing weapon overclocking at certain thresholds.
Overclocking a weapon provides substantial boosts, surpassing the benefits of previously chosen skills. Exceptionally, if presented with a legendary or superior upgrade option, it’s advisable to opt for those. However, the primary focus should be on weapon overclocking.
How to overclock your weapons
To overclock your weapons, invest in skills that increase their levels until reaching the required threshold for overclocking. These skills are denoted by weapon icons and brief descriptions indicating their relevance to specific weapons and their potential level increases.
What does the paint job upgrade do?
The paint job upgrade elevates your weapon’s level by one or more increments. Opt for this upgrade when it offers multiple level increases and when other skills do not contribute to weapon level enhancement. Unlike other upgrades, the paint job does not directly enhance weapon performance but expedites progress toward reaching overclocking levels.
What are Yellow Diamonds on weapons with some upgrades?
When selecting an upgrade or overclock option, players may notice yellow or golden diamonds above their weapons, indicating upgrade synergies. These diamonds signify how well the upgrade aligns with the weapon’s attributes. The more matches between the upgrade and the weapon’s characteristics, the more beneficial the upgrade is.
