Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor Introduces a Dwarf with a Twist – The Demolisher Class!

Hey gamers! If you’re a fan of Deep Rock Galactic, brace yourselves because the latest expansion, Heavy Duty, has just dropped a game-changing class that’s got everyone buzzing: the Demolisher. It’s about time they shook things up, right? For eight years, the original four classes have ruled the roost, but now we’ve got a dwarf who rolls in with a car!

Yes, you heard that right! This new class comes packed with a fresh set of weapons and three subclasses, all while cruising around in a vehicle that feels like a mix between a go-kart and a bulldozer. It’s a wild addition, and it’s not just a gimmick; the Demolisher actually controls like a car! Forget the usual running and dodging mechanics—this dwarf requires some serious driving skills to navigate through the chaos.

After logging over 150 hours in the game, I’m having to completely retrain my muscle memory. Instead of slipping through enemy swarms, I’m now focused on plowing through with my vehicle, shoving smaller enemies aside and digging through terrain faster than ever. The weight and feel of the vehicle change how you approach the game, making each encounter a whole new experience.

With the Demolisher’s kit, health and armor upgrades are now top of mind, allowing for a more aggressive playstyle while dishing out close-range damage. You’ll be leaving a trail of destruction and setting traps, which is an absolute blast! Plus, there’s a new snowy biome, Glacial Strata, that adds some slippery fun but doesn’t stray too far from the established gameplay.

One of the coolest additions in this expansion is the Egg Hunt mode. It’s a fresh take on the gameplay rhythm—rather than just clearing enemies, you’re hunting eggs and strategizing your routes. But be careful! Each egg you unearth triggers swarms of enemies, so you’ll need to think on your feet to manage the chaos.

And the finale? Oh boy! After collecting three eggs, a drop pod comes in, but there’s a twist: you can stick around to grab more eggs for extra rewards. This leads to a heart-pounding dash as you try to secure those last few eggs before the pod takes off. The excitement ramps up with a gigantic worm monster that chases you down, requiring sneaky strategies to take it out while managing the horde it spawns! Talk about a thrilling end to each round!

This expansion offers tons of content for just $10, and for those keeping an eye on their wallets, a new patch is also available. It includes a robust endless mode, expanded weapon tagging, and new mastery milestones to enhance your gameplay experience.

If you thought the game would slow down post-early access, think again! There’s plenty to keep you busy, and I can’t wait to dive back in for another 150 hours. Happy mining, folks!
