Two missions in one

Every Deep Rock Galactic mission is an objective run plus an extraction run. Treat them as separate plans, because the second one is where teams die.

Plan the route out

While you are mining, note the way back. Tunnels you drilled on the way in are the ones you run down on the way out.

Save something for the pod

Nitra spent early is a resupply you do not have when the pod timer starts. Keep one pod in reserve.

Frequently asked questions

How do missions end?

You finish the objective, then reach the drop pod before it leaves. Reaching the pod is the part teams fail, not the objective.

What is the hardest part of a mission?

The extraction. The caves spawn hard on the way out, and a team that spent everything getting in has nothing left.
