Hello Miners,
This steam post marks the beginning of a new series where we’ll be sharing sneak peeks at what’s coming in the 1.0 release of Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor. Over the next few weeks, expect a steady stream of bite-sized Steam posts, each one diving into the visual upgrades we’ve been cooking up for class mods. Once we’ve showcased the new skins, we’ll shift focus to some of the bigger gameplay changes. There’s a lot to talk about, and we’re just getting started.
We’ve long wanted to give class mods more visual identity, so you can instantly tell whether you're rocking a Recon Scout or lining up headshots as a Sharpshooter Scout. With 1.0, we’re making that a reality. The skins are automatically unlocked when you acquire the class.
Here he is: The Classic Scout as you know and love him with his shoulder-mounted flashlight, double-antenna headset for primo reception, and of course, an early prototype of some Smart Glasses so he can POV record himself running away. Nothing new here - it’s a classic for a reason.
The Recon Scout spent his Employee of the Month bonus points on a leather 5-panel cap with red racing stripes to match his beard. Extra bulky shoulder pads allow him to attach two scanners for improved uh… reconnaissance. If you think they look like overpriced gaming routers, did you consider that perhaps those routers are inspired by the Recon Scout’s shoulder-mounted scanners? I bet you didn’t.
This one was a no-brainer: If you want to be a sharpshooter, you have to have the tactical goggles on. They got more zoom than a border collie, the yellow tint that you need to disassociate from reality, and an extra optical in the middle just in case.
The skins are still WIP and may change a bit before launch. Next week, we’ll take a look at the new Engineer class mod skins: Maintenance Worker, Tinkerer and Demolitionist. Stay tuned!
With the reveal of class mod skins, we are updating the roadmap to 1.0. The rest of the headline features of the update are kept tightly under wraps. We will reveal them in the coming months once we are ready to share a more detailed look at them.
Rock and Stone!
