Best Class And More Tips For Deep Rock Galactic Rogue Core

To get the most out of these crates, you want to wait until your guns are almost out of ammunition. This way, you refill both of your ammo caches and get the most out of your existing ammo. Of course, if you’re extremely low on armor or need ammo for a specific gun, use a crate if necessary, but more often than not, you want to save your restock until it’s most beneficial. 

Target Enemy Weak Spots 

One thing you’ll notice right away in Rogue Core is that enemies can hit extremely hard. This can make solo play much more challenging compared to the original Deep Rock Galactic and adds a new layer of strategy to co-op runs. While enemies will always hit hard, you can eliminate them much faster if you target their weak spots. 

There are certain weapons you can loot during runs that specifically target an enemy’s weak spot, and these weapons should be prioritized over most others you’ll find. When you’re just shooting an enemy without weak spot damage, you’ll notice that it takes much longer to kill them, which leads to more deaths. 

Don’t Skip The Side Content

At the start of a run in Rogue Core, your primary objective is to make it as far as possible. However, to aid you in that goal, you can also complete side objectives called “Intel Tasks.”

While these aren’t mandatory to complete, you want to try to finish as many as you can. These reward you with upgrade points that increase your overall level, gaining you access to additional levels, tasks, and more content. 

You Don’t Always Have To Carry Toolboxes

Toolboxes are one of the primary ways to upgrade your character and weapons during a run. You need to find a Workbench and then use the Toolbox locator to find the Toolbox in a random spot on the map. Once you find a Toolbox, you then need to lug it back to the Workbench to secure the upgrade from it. Normally, this involves your character carrying the Toolbox in one hand, which limits your mobility and weapon usage. 

However, if you don’t want to manually transport the Toolbox, there are a couple of different ways to get it out of your hands. The first is simply handing the Toolbox off to Cooper, which is only possible while playing solo. If you’re playing in a team, you can throw the Toolbox from place to place by pressing your fire button with it equipped. You’ll still have to carry the Toolbox to the Workbench eventually, but throwing it around allows you to deal with any enemies or move faster during the process. 

Use Different Kinds Of Weapons 

In your loadout, you can equip two total weapons. Which weapons you equip is totally up to you, and at the start of a run, you won’t have many options, considering you begin with nothing equipped. As you go along, though, you want to try to equip two weapons that behave differently from each other. 

If you manage to find a great long-range weapon early on, then your next weapon should excel at something else, such as dealing serious close-range damage, specializing in a type of elemental damage, etc. Of course, you can also pair weapons that match your class, but having the ability to swap between weapons with different traits is going to be extremely beneficial when dealing with hordes of enemies. 

Abilities Are Always Reliable 

While your weapons will be what you use a majority of the time when fighting enemies, you don’t want to forget about your abilities either. It’s easy to only think about what weapon to use when there are two dozen plus enemies coming at you, but your class’s abilities are often a better way to deal damage or escape a sticky situation.  

Of course, each ability has a cooldown after you use it, so you need to be smart about when to pop them. As long as you understand your class and get some play time in with it, though, you’ll develop a sixth sense about the best situations for each ability.
