Deep Rock Galactic Guide: Best Class For Playing Solo

Deep Rock Galactic might be catered towards cooperative play, but here are some tips for playing solo.

Funnily enough I consider Gunner the worst character to play solo. The zipline is honestly mediocre and limited in use. Engi would be my top pick for solo play, followed by Driller.

As a driller, if you dig at 45 or less degrees, you won’t get stuck. And if you do that, you’ll get anywhere you want to, fast. People underestimate the speed of the drills, and unless you’re just stupid with conservation of fuel, or you don’t get any resupplies even though it’s a max length mission, you’ll be fine. As for weaponry, I prefer the flamethrower. It can take our virtually any horde, and I don’t find ammo to be much of a problem for it either, even on extreme and lethal. It’s range is also so good that I honestly haven’t found any cave where there’s been something that I thought I could burn but I couldn’t. Either it’s potshot distance, or it’s fla, thrower distance, as long as you get the range upgrade. As for potshots, you cane a silly do that with Bosco and your pistol, it’s pretty good at tearing through weak spots, and as for big fat monsters, a good old plastic explosives and an axe to the weak spot combo is sure to take them out.

I shift between Engineer and Gunner. I find a Gunner with the right perks to be very versatile, particularly once you pick up some experience with how to traverse up walls, where to best carve in steps with your pickaxe, and gain a generally good understanding of each of the mission types. Engineer can be more versatile and powerful, and sometimes that's necessary solo, but I prefer the faster pace and playstyle of Gunner.

I say engineering is the best for solo he has a lot of options with wave clearing and tank killing and the turrets have separate ammo from ur gun ammo so even if u do run out of bullets ur turrets r still firing

[ugandanmetalsonic]

in my opinion the engineer is the best for higher hazard solo cause the abillity to make bridges and stairs using the platform gun can save you a lot

[slyllamademon]

Endgame classes make short work of Haz 5 missions, I would say driller is best generalist, you can make Stairs with his drills, now down waves of bugs with your satchel charges, primary, and the EPC with the Thin containment field modification, which causes an implosion when hit by projectiles that does big damage to the target and destroys all of the terrain in the vicinity of the implosion, it can kill mactera, glypids, and spitball infectors well, but it’s got a steep learning curve, so what class is best for solo mining is up to you, and randoms are your best bet because they usually know what they’re doing.

Engineer is way better solo class you have AOE secondary and Sentry turrets to defend locations like the driller while you have to go fill up the fuel canisters orgo repair fuel lines also has lure grenade

The zipline is by far the worst traversal tool, especially for solo.

[Darkwater]

Managed to get the achievement for a level 4 hazard with no downs or refills today. Just so happened to be solo to boot. Was playing gunner.

[ouddamynd]

I've been able to go solo with all of them: mostly scout and driller for most of them but gunner and engine for escorts. Even secondaries except fossils...

[Imagine_Trying]

Having put some time into this game, i do agree that Gunner is the best solo class in early game.

However Engineer and Driller are the best in the late game with their more flexible kits and traversale tools.

Scout is good too but the issue is the low damage compared to other classes in solos. Otherwise a skilled scout is likely the best overall if you can deal with that short coming

[durp]

To me engi and driller is best for solo cuz they have good traversal tools and an op satchel charge but dont get me wrong the shield generator is very reliable but the zipline is slow and when you get hit you fall off

[saiyanraoh]

Thanks for the guide. I despise multiplayer...Anything really, and I'd hate for a game to be ruined with forced interactions with other players. Always wanted to try the game and now with the game being offered up on Humble Choice, Thanks!

[wowsydrowsy]

I like scout the most as seeing enemies from far away has always been the best to kill huge waves in my opinion, also once the horde gets close to you, you can just grapple far away again

[seidyn]

gunner is wrost class to play solo, its really depends on the mission, if you need to scort doretta, engenner can be the best, for extract liquid morkit, driller is the3 best, to extract arquarks, scout is the best, to kill dreadnought, engen, and driller are the best.

[Tartarum]

I have played only gunner and for a while scout but gunner is just so fun that i don't think i'll use somebody else.

[brettcatublas]

Doing lethal runs on da best solo shotgun turret whip and breach cutter you will be unstoppable

{Subscribed}-Great review bro bc I'm now going to buy the Deluxe Edition for $17.15 so thank you for helping a guy who hates online bc of cheating, they have to have a AI to find all cheaters and that's the only way I'm going to play online. I look forward to seeing more of these great reviews.

[grandchampion]
