Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor: 10 Pro Tips for BuildingThis video provides 10 tips and tricks for a more successful build in Deep Rock Galactic Survivor. Covers strategies such as weapon tag sharing, optimizing kinetic/status effect builds, managing rate of fire and reload speed, prioritizing overclocking, understanding yellow/blue upgrades, adjusting stats by weapon, preventing overuse of utility stats, and maximizing income.
1. Weapon Tag Sharing: Maximize Synergy 🤝
- ✅ The more tags shared between weapons, the better.
- ✅ Increases the efficiency of upgrades that apply to multiple weapons at once, like 'Lightweight Weapon' upgrades.
- ✅ Check the number of shared tags when selecting weapons to consider synergy effects.
| Tag | Description |
|---|---|
| Kinetic | Physical damage type |
| Projectile | Weapon that uses bullets or projectiles |

2. Kinetic Build: Focus on Critical Hits and Penetration 🎯
- ✅ Kinetic weapons often lack penetration.
- ✅ Increase critical hit chance and damage to enhance the damage profile.
- ✅ Depending on the build, critical hits and penetration are generally effective for kinetic builds.
02:22 - 03:23
3. Status Effect Build: Utilize Continuous Damage and Debuffs 🔥
- ✅ Status effect (fire, electric, toxic) builds focus on stacking damage on enemies.
- ✅ Invest in power (increased stack count) and status effect damage upgrades.
- ❌ Critical hits do not significantly affect status effect damage, so they are a low priority.
- ⚠️ It is better to focus on specific stats rather than spreading investments across multiple stats.
03:24 - 04:36
4. Rate of Fire: Powerful, but Consider Efficiency Reduction 🚀
- ✅ Rate of fire is a very powerful upgrade for clip-based weapons.
- ✅ The stronger the weapon's attack power, the higher the efficiency of the rate of fire.
- ⚠️ If the rate of fire is too high, the frequency of reloading increases, which can reduce DPS.
- ✅ Consider the magazine consumption rate to determine when to stop upgrading the rate of fire.
04:37 - 05:34
5. Reload Speed: Maintain Continuous Firepower ⏱️
- ✅ Reload speed is an important stat that reduces the time a weapon is not dealing damage.
- ✅ The goal is to reduce reload time as much as possible to maintain continuous firepower.
- ⚠️ As with rate of fire, efficiency reduction should be considered for reload speed as well.
- ✅ If you feel the reload speed is fast enough, it is better to invest in other stats.
05:35 - 06:38
6. Overclock: Maximize Weapon Potential ⚙️
- ✅ Overall category upgrades are good, but overclocking maximizes the weapon's potential.
- ✅ The final overclock, especially the one you get at rank 18, is very powerful.
- ✅ It is important to raise the rank of the desired weapon, and sometimes you have to accept less attractive upgrades.
- ✅ Overclocking changes the characteristics of the weapon and provides basic stat bonuses.
06:39 - 08:03
7. Yellow and Blue Upgrades: Understanding Multiplier Effects 🌈
- 🟦 Blue upgrades simply add stats (e.g., rate of fire +10% x 5 = +50%).
- 🟨 Yellow upgrades have the effect of multiplying existing multipliers.
- ✅ Yellow upgrades are generally more powerful and have the effect of upgrading upgrades.
- ✅ If you find a yellow upgrade in an artifact, take a closer look.
| Color | Effect |
|---|---|
| Blue | Simple Addition |
| Yellow | Multiplier Multiplication |

8. Stat Adjustment by Weapon: Building a Custom Build 🛠️
- ✅ Each weapon has different preferred stats.
- ✅ Grenades require different upgrade settings than miniguns.
- ✅ Turret-based builds benefit greatly from increased rate of fire (no ammo consumption).
- ✅ Analyze the weapon you are using and consider which traits have the greatest effect.
- ✅ The same weapon can be built differently through overclock upgrades.

9. Prevent Overuse of Utility Stats: Focus on Damage ⚔️
- ⚠️ Utility stats (movement speed, pickup range, penetration, reload time, etc.) become less efficient as the difficulty increases.
- ✅ It is important to defeat enemies quickly at higher difficulties.
- ✅ HP, defense, and luck are good choices when you don't know where to invest.
11:34 - 12:45
10. Maximize Income: Secure More Upgrades 💰
- ✅ Mine as much gold and nitra as possible to purchase more upgrades.
- ✅ Luck helps increase income by increasing drop rates.
- ✅ Utilize equipment items that provide additional bonuses when mining resources or defeating enemies.
- ✅ Secure more stats to strengthen your build.
