Season 03: Plaguefall
| “ | Hello Miners,
The Rivals have been pushed back for the moment, but only just in time for a brand new threat to rear its ugly head. An insidious lithophage, a sickness of the very rock beneath our feet, has struck Hoxxes. Nicknamed the ROCKPOX, this planetary pathogen is spreading through the caves, infecting the rock and even directly affecting the local fauna. Even the hardy Dwarves can feel its insidious grasp. Prepare for PLAGUEFALL! |

The Ghost Ship Crew |
Season 03: Plaguefall is the third season for Deep Rock Galactic, introducing a new Performance Pass, new Assignments, a new creature type, one new Grenade for each class, a new mission event and a new mutator.

Narrated Update Trailer:
URGENT COMPANY BRIEFING
| “ | Space Rig 17 // All Hands Bulletin // Clearance Level Lemon Alright, Miners, butts in seats. I’m afraid there’s bad news again. The Rivals have been pushed back for the moment, but only just in time for a brand new threat to rear its ugly head. An insidious lithophage, a sickness of the very rock beneath our feet, has struck Hoxxes. A rogue comet is passing through the system, shedding hundreds of infected meteoroids as the gravitational forces tear it apart. So far, every single one has carried with it a dormant form of Rockpox, and each one represents a clear and present danger to the Hoxxian ecosystem. ROCKPOX is upon us, and if we intend to continue operations here we have our work cut out for us. Management, as always, has a plan, and, as always, this plan involves you, our dear employees. Our mission will be two-fold: Firstly, we need to prevent the infection from spreading further, by striking directly at the meteors themselves, and the throbbing Plague Hearts they contain. Secondly, we need to get in there and eradicate any infection already in place, and strip the caves of every last trace of Rockpox. Early reports show the infection causing terrible mutations in the local wildlife and overall environment. Take special care not to…touch anything. The Rockpox is a particularly vicious thing, and it will react with extreme hostility to anything that gets too close. R&D recommends keeping direct contact to an absolute minimum. The long-term effects could be …undesirable. In short: Hoxxes is no longer a gentle walk in the park, Miners. Management sends their regards. / / / MESSAGE ENDS / / / |
Update Changes
Season Event: Meteor Impact
A rogue comet is passing through the system, shedding hundreds of infected meteoroids as the gravitational forces tear it apart. So far, every single one has carried with it a dormant form of Rockpox, and each one represents a clear and present danger to the Hoxxian ecosystem.
Be on the alert for meteor strikes during your normal missions. If one happens during your mission, clear out the impact zone immediately, and get ready to get cracking. Powerful Rock Cracker modules will be sent in from the Space Rig to assist you. These must be hooked up to the meteorite and maintained while they crack it open so you can get at the Plague Hearts inside. But beware the noise is sure to attract the locals!
The hearts themselves are highly prized by the R&D department with a Scrip awarded at the season terminal for every 6 Plague Hearts you bring back.
New Warning: Lithophage Outbreak
When you play a mission with a Lithophage outbreak Warning you will encounter an area in which the Plague Hearts have grown into full Contagion Spikes, rapidly spreading across the cave.
All missions with this warning come with two main objectives:
- Lithophage outbreak objective: First, you will need to destroy the Rockpox Contagion Spikes and the spreading corruption with R&D’s brand-new anti-contaminant tools. Be extra mindful of the creeping tide of Plague Larvae erupting from the infected area as you work, and be prepared for swarms of Glyphids that have already been struck by the Rockpox and seek to disrupt your endeavours.
- Normal main objective: Second, you will still need to complete the normal mining objective. Fighting the Rockpox is critical, but it does not pay the bills! The order in which you tackle these tasks is entirely up to you.
New Mission Equipment: Cleansing Tools
To help you deal with the Rockpox infection and neutralise the Contagion Spikes, R&D have whipped up some tools: the LithoFoamer and the LithoVac. Both will be needed to neutralise and cleanse an area affected by the Rockpox.
The process is quite simple:
- Step 1: Apply a generous coating of LithoFoam to Rockpox Blisters surrounding a Contagion Spike. The foam begins working on contact chemically bonding to the Rockpox while loosening the grip it has on the rock.
- Step 2: Use the LithoVac to suckup both the LithoFoam and any Rockpox it has bonded to.
Once enough of the surrounding Rockpox is cleared the Contagion Spike will collapse, taking any Rockpox remaining in the area with it.
New Grenades
As has become par for the course, there will be plenty of incentive to do your part. First of those are another round of additions to your arsenal, this time in the shape of new throwables.
Scout: Voltaic Stun Sweeper
The Scout has gotten his hands on an Electric Boomerang that bounces from target to target, electrocuting anything hostile on the way. No mentions of shrimps or barbies, please.
Driller: Springloaded Ripper
The Driller has seen fit to re-purpose one of his favorite power tools. He is now in possession of a motorised saw that powers along the ground and even up sheer walls, slicing and dicing anything it hits.
Engineer: Shredder Swarm
The Engineer has worked closely with R&D, and they have successfully made a portable robotic swarm from captured and reprogrammed Shredder Drones. Throw it on the ground to activate your very own posse of hacked drones that attack anything hostile on sight.
Gunner: Tactical Leadbuster
And the Gunner gets a grenade with a gun on it - because of course it is. Throw and attach this device to any surface, and it will saturate the surrounding area with a blistering hail of lead.
New Enemies: Lithophage
As if it’s not bad enough that the Lithophage is devouring the very rock beneath your feet, once a Contagion Spike matures it begins to grow pulsating pods, filled with Rockpox Larvae!
Rockpox Larvae
These squirmy little devils seek out victims en masse in an attempt to take them over. Shoot on sight and watch your backs. So far both Grunts and Praetorians having been sighted stumbling around covered in Rockpox growths.
Rockpox Grunts and Rockpox Praetorians
If you happen to come across a Rockpox Glyphid do not bother attacking it directly as the affected creatures can take a tremendous amount of damage and still keep going, we are not even sure if they are still really alive. However, if you aim for the glowing Rockpox boils covering their bodies, you can even take a Praetorian down in just a few shots.
New Performance Pass
On top of all that, a brand new Performance Pass with another 100 levels of unlocks will be activated, alongside an all-new Cosmetic Tree loaded to the gills with Cosmetics.
This of course means Season 02 is coming to an end, so now is the time to get mining if you still have anything you are dying to unlock right away. That said - don’t fret, anything you’ve yet to unlock will simply be added to the ordinary loot pools in the game - nothing goes away.
Gameplay Adjustments
Assignments
We have added mission variety to all recurring assignments such as the promotion assignments. This way you no longer need to do the same missions every time you promote. Additionally the Industrial Sabotage mission will now also be available for selection in assignments.
Cave Room Variations
As we continue our exploration of Hoxxes, it only makes sense that we get some new sights on occasion. You can expect to see dozens of new cave shapes on missions now, with a special emphasis on Point Extraction missions that have been sorely lacking for a while. Don’t get lost, now.
Rival Content
With Season 3 focusing on the Lithophage we have modified the various Rival Events, Rival Presence Warning and Industrial Sabotage Mission.
The Industrial Sabotage mission is now treated as any other mission, including a slightly more streamlined lower-complexity version now also available on the mission map and in Deep Dives. On top of this we have also tweaked the mission a bit:
- Reduced minimum time to hack a generator
- Increased Transmitter Node connection Range a bit
We have also tweaked the Rival Patrol Bots based on what we’ve been hearing on the grapevine.
- Reduced bot acceleration/deceleration a bit so the bots are now a little easier to track
- Reduced damage of burst shots
- Reduced damage of sniper shots
- Reduced the speed and manoeuvrability of the homing missiles
- While the patrol bots can't be frozen solid, "freezing" them will still make their metal brittle and impart the standard damage bonus applied to frozen enemies but with all those hot electronics inside they warm back up quite quickly
- Increased the amount of heat damage required to set Patrol Bots on fire
The Rival Presence Warning is now also part of the standard warning rotation and is no longer guaranteed to be present on the mission map at all times.
Lastly, the 3 RIVAL EVENTS have been added to the general event pool with probabilities similar to the other events. The Data Cells which you can get from these events no longer will grant you scrip or bonus Performance Points but instead will give Credits and XP similar to the Korlok Tyrant Shards.
