Deep Rock Galactic Upgrades Guide

Focus beats spread

Credits and minerals arrive slowly. Spending them across every class produces four weak loadouts. Pick one dwarf and push it.

Weapon before utility

Weapon upgrades change what you can survive. Utility upgrades make an already-working run smoother.

Check the base first

Before you buy, read the weapon’s base numbers in the equipment database. Upgrades multiply what is already there.

Frequently asked questions

What should I upgrade first?

Your primary weapon. Damage output decides whether a mission is manageable, while armour and utility upgrades are smaller increments.

Should I upgrade everything evenly?

No. Focus one weapon and one class at a time. Spread spending produces four weak dwarves instead of one strong one.
