Deep Rock Galactic Classes Guide — All Four Dwarves

Updated 20 Oct 2026 Source Synthesized from published Deep Rock Galactic guides and game mechanics; rewritten in original wording on 20 October 2026 By Antewise Editorial

Four jobs, one cave

Deep Rock Galactic classes are roles, not skins. Each one answers a different problem, and a team that covers all four handles anything the caves produce.

Classes in the data: Driller, Engineer, Gunner, Gunner, Scout, Scout.

What each one owes the team

The Gunner holds ground and shields the team. The Engineer builds platforms and turrets. The Driller reshapes the cave. The Scout lights it up and reaches what nobody else can.

Picking yours

Pick the job you enjoy, not the one with the biggest numbers. A dwarf you play well outperforms a meta pick you do not.

Frequently asked questions

How many classes are there?

Four: Driller, Engineer, Gunner, Gunner, Scout, Scout. Each carries a distinct weapon set and a distinct job on the team.

Do I need all four in a mission?

No, but a balanced team covers more. Two of the same class leaves a gap that the caves will find.
