Pressure, not puzzles

Hazard levels in Deep Rock Galactic add pressure. The mission is the same; the margin for error shrinks.

The readiness test

Finish a mission with resources left over. That surplus is the buffer the next hazard level will eat.

Move up with the team

A team moves up together. One player who is not ready turns a manageable mission into a rescue.

Frequently asked questions

How do hazard levels work?

Hazard levels raise enemy damage, spawn rates and pressure. They do not change the objective, only how much the cave pushes back.

When am I ready for the next hazard level?

When you finish missions with nitra to spare. If every mission ends empty, the next level will break you.
