Hoist your pickaxe! Exploring the hostile worlds of Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor is dangerous work but with a bit of grit and a gutsy crew of burly dwarven space miners, even the ugliest bugs in the galaxy cant stop you... or at least, not for long. Find out why we love digging up trouble in this slick survival game:

Each job on Planet Hoxxes is a race against time: once the drop pod lands, head out into the mines and start chipping away to gather resources. But dont get complacent hordes of aliens are constantly swarming your position!

Good thing youre well-equipped to handle em. Each character class (Scout, Gunner, Driller and Engineer) has specific gear (grenades, plasma rifles, rocket launchers and flamethrowers) to battle back creatures and level up.

Digging isnt just necessary for scoring gold, ore and other valuables its also essential for staying alive! As mobs of extraterrestrial insects chase you down, hack away at walls to carve out long, impenetrable escape routes.

Just dont get cornered: if the timer runs out and you miss your drop pod ride, your run is over and your space miner is toast.

At first, you might only last a few levels. But in time, powerful upgrades (increased weapon damage, faster reloads) and awesome armour will help you delve deeper. Slap together the right loadout and even Planet Hoxxes deadliest foes wont stand between you and glorious riches.

Dont sleep on upgrading your movement speed. Even the fastest dwarves could use a boost!
