Playing DEEP ROCK GALACTIC for the FIRST TIME 

would you want “DEEP ROCK GALACTIC … For Noobs” ?

ROCK AND STONE

The way he joins a random lobby and our community is immediately THRILLED to show him all the fun things about everything is the real heart of the game

hearing macro say "We're rich" on his first time finding gold is a very good sign

My favourite part was how Macro did one (1) mission as driller and already managed to blow up the scout

ROCK AND STONE MACRO! I really hoped you enjoyed one of my favorite games!

Always wonderful to see more greenbeards joining in the game, probably one of the only team games where it makes you feel positive instead of antagonistic to your team like other games

Most player friendly game to be made so far that’s actually good. It once was even free with ps+

Macro, let me put it this way. The Leaf lovers special is the Deep Rock equivalent of the Grimmace shake in todays meme culture.

deep rock is this kind of game that tricks you into being a nicer player, not only by being a cooperative game, with classes designed to complement one another but also the interactions leads you to just want to have fun with your homies and make sistem control mad by throwing barrels to the dropship or something

a few additional tips as driller, you're often expected to drill towards the drop pod at the end of a mission. just look towards the floating icon marking the drop pod and drill in a straight line towards it. also, later on, you will get a cryo cannon that doesn't do a lot of damage, but can freeze enemies. frozen enemies take additional damage from all sources. you also can get a perk that gives you a bit of health for getting melee kills. so, combine those two and your drills, you can turn entire swarms into health packs. as gunner, the ziplines are best fired at a downwards angle (-5 at minimum) so you can get a speed boost going down. that's not to say ziplines going up is bad, just slow, and when you get damaged while on ziplines you'll fall off. and being on ziplines makes you aggro ranged enemies. as engineer, while shooting platforms at ore veins high up is the standard play, you also need to think about whether or not the scout can actually mine the entire vein, especially if the vein is very tall or very long. my recommendation is to play scout yourself and get a feel for platform placement firsthand, but generally, putting the platform at roughly right in the middle of the vein gives the best result, and remember, it's easier to mind downwards than upwards. as scout, remember that firing your zipline cancels your sprint if you're touching the ground. i like to jump first and then fire the grapple because that doesnt cancel the sprint. i mean, this is only true on toggle sprint. i know most people prefer hold sprint, but like, idk, it feels weird, like its just toggle sprint but they tried to tell it to un-toggle once you release the button, but it doesnt quite work that well. anyway, in addition to that, scout is generally not very good at swarm clearing, but he's great at supporting the team with flares and also he can grapple behind lard enemies to shoot at their weak point in their backs and one last thing, yes, greybeards (that's the community's name for veterans) treat greenbeards (new players) very well, but it's not purely out of the kindness of their hearts. yes, i am revealing a dark secret about the community here, the real reason why they're treating you so nice is... ...because when you get better at the game yourself, it's your job to pass the kindness forward to any new player you meet. rock and stone, brotha!

Genuinely one of the most fun games I’ve played in recent years, especially when it comes to the mechanics in the overclock system

I hope Macro keeps playing drg and enjoys it as much as the rest of us and ROCK AND STONE TO THE BONE!

I will tell you This game’s community loves newer players and tries its best to make them learn the game and have fun And any content creator bringing in new dwarfs for drg are given the red carpet by the older players We hope you enjoy the game! Rock and Stone!

NO WAY HE ACTUALLY PLAYED IT

Idk if someone in chat said this already, but people don't usually use the vc in game (in my experience) but they do use the discord a lot. Also usually party leaders will disband teams or players will leave the party after a mission, it's how the flow of the game works and it's not personal

Makes me the happiest to see him play this and genuinely enjoy it

Always amazing to see new Miners joining the company! Rock and Stone!

That first team you had was so wholesome, what a great game Good video

I know this is probably just gonna be a one off to satisfy the crowds, but if you ever wanted pointers or other info or whatever I'm sure lots of us would be willing to help out, myself included. Karl knows we could use the playerbase.

That guy in the first match was so cool

You should play this with zanny

The game and its cooperative aspects really shine on Hazard 4. Where there's always a lot of bugs to kill. Which is my favourite thing to do in the game.

IF YA DONT ROCK AND STONE, YOU AINT COMMIN HOME!!!!!

IF YOU ROCK AND STONE, YOU'RE NEVER ALONE

I hope you end up playing this a bit. Probably my all time favorite game, maybe not most hours but something I can always come back to. By far the best community I’ve ever seen in a game, with some of the most wholesome and hilarious moments I’ve had in gaming, as well as an incredible dev team that has done things I think should be universal across games. Rock and stone, hope to see you down on Hoxes

I will have to warn you. This game is one of the most generous and fun games to play even casually. The community is amazing and wholesome with most things unlike other games like skins and battle pass being completely free. Like that purple crystals you were getting in your first game, those are actually this games “premium currency” like overwatch or apex coins

Rock and stone to the bone! I hope macro plays deep rock more it’s so good.

Seeing people enjoy deep rock for the first time makes me so happy

Just a general tip: big bugs are resistant to elemental damage, and explosions. Shoot them with bullets. All bugs have armor, and weak points in heads and butts. Equally use your primary, secondary and grenades(G button), as resuply replenish half of everything. Aside from those, its an easy learning path. Read about your equipment in the upgrade terminal, and enemies in the monster manual. And also, you can use ctrl to ping stuff and learn its names. The game has the most wholesome community, so don't be afraid to ask about anything

As a gunner main, if you wanna go purely by feel, I think my favourite gun is actually the scouts second primary, the M1000. Initially, I hated it, but the M1000 is fantastic if you get used to it. What I think is important to keep in mind going in is that it is not a sniper rifle, even if it looks and can be built like one.

Would love to see more of this!

Please do a series on this the longer you play the more stuff appears

Hope you keep playing it, there is so much more content to discover, new weapons, upgrades, overclocks, thousands of cosmetics, events, biomes, bosses, season encounters, all the beers, there is just so much and you can also change how classes play pretty significally with all the customization

Here’s some pointers for the long run: unlock all the armor upgrades at some point: you get more max hp, even if it’s just 5 points per each tier you unlock by upgrading your armor rig. each class has a total of 3 weapons for each primary and secondary slot and there’s enough room to tweak each of them to your liking- is more ammo or damage more valuable? Do you want your flamethrower’s flames to stick or do you need bugs burning now? the support and mobility tools are good on thier own, but shine when paired with other classes. a driller can make a decent bunker, and the gunner’s shield can help fortify it. a scout can light caves up so the engie can see where the resources are and platform them for the scout to in turn mine them. And once you hit max level with your dwarves, promote them to see a whole new world- overclocks.

So with the first lobby being friendly, basically all of the community is like that lol. Its so fun, especially after you unlock overclocks. Rock and stone miner! Also, every single cosmetic in the game you can unlock for free by finding in missions so you pay once and get everything from playing 😃👍

HE DID IT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ROCK AND STONE YOU POINTY EARED LEAF LOVER

“For rock and stone” “Miners, swarm incoming” Intense music

1:08 unknowingly partaking in one of the biggest inside jokes in DRG

Hasn’t been a minute into the video and he discovered ROCK AND STONE!!!

The only game where you'd rather die for your team rather than kill them, which is funny cause this is one of the few games where you can kill them!

Its a great feeling seeing greenbeards having fun their first time playing. ROCK AND STONE!

Welcome and Rooock! Something which the game doesn't tell you: everything up until you have promoted at least once dwarf is basically tutorial. After this you can access everything and most importantly you will get the key to start Machine Events which are random spawns in missions. You put blank matrix cores in them and get to pick a weapon Overclock or a Cosmetic. Overclocks are the endgame (for an old theorycrafter like me anyway), they can completely change a weapons behaviour (Unstable) or act as an extra mid that give you utility (Stable) or just do the same thing as that Damage/Ammo mod you already had installed (Clean) which let's you pick the Rate of Fire mod instead. Overclocks are awesome (I mean it!) and it just becomes more fun the more you get letting you try wacky synergies and strategies. I wish players were exposed to them sooner since gamers have zero attention span and imagination these days ;). Stick with it, you'll thank me! Cheers and Stooone!

BRO FINALLY PLAYED PEAK

YEEEAAAH ROCK AND STONE

Nicest community in the history of online games. The game is so masterfully designed and balanced that it just makes people nicer.

Zanny would be proud

LETS GO, ROCK AND STONE!!!!

ROCK AND STONE 💯💯💯💯

I love that deep rock galactic is getting a surge of new players. I'm new too, but I love seeing this game grow before my eyes!

I would love to tell you so many things about this game, its so nice just a heads up many enemies have armor and weak points, the weakspots are either their mouth/head or the glowing spots on their body, with some being permanent and some disappearing after taking enough damage. There is three types of armor in the game too, light - which blocks 30% of damage until it breaks, heavy - which blocks 100% of damage until it breaks, and unbreakable - which blocks 100% of damage at all times the bulk at 17:00 has those yellow glowing weakspots, and the oppressor at 16:25 has unbreakable armor everywhere except its glowing ass of a weakspot

Let us all shout Rock and Stone to Ghostfrog for introducing this fine RU-vidr to this Game and its Community, Rock and Stone Ghostfrog we salute you ⛏.

WE MINE FOR ROCK AND STONE!!!!

I commented explaining every ore/crystal/mineral in DRG, but now here are some tips for Macro and any newbies to DRG who need a quick tip. Negating fall damage can potentially save, and will save, you many times. An example of this was 21:07 where macro jumped to a fall that would've killed him, but thanks to the engineer having a fall damage negating upgrade on their platform gun, landed without even taking a single point of damage. You can safely expect most engineer's platforms to have this upgrade, as it is the only upgrade in the second tier of the platform gun. Additionally, you can save yourself from fall damage by holding the interact key while in the air, and landing on a zipline, where it will safely attach you to it and never take any fall damage. The same zipline trick can be used on refining mission's pipelines, and by holding space mid air and vaulting an object just before you crash into the ground, although the latter technique is a bit more finicky, so be careful! Be a good spot, if someone asks in chat "r", that is dwarven code for "ready?", and if you are indeed ready for whatever, be it a boss, or calling in the drop-pod, simply reply back "r". Some other rules that arent as cru- I mean, far more crucial for dwarven interaction are: spam pinging bittergem, a certain type of mushroom from the fungus bogs, and compressed gold until mission control get mad. (ROCK AND STONE!) And of course - Wait.. DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE?

Fun fact macro! As driller, if the scout on your team is being a selfish player, you can satchel charge them. This gives them a boost that helps the team. Only scouts have this special ability though. Rock and Stone

FINALLY

Its awesome seeing new people find this game and enjoy it.

"engineer? sentry turret? oh so it's torbjorn" ENGINEER from tf2:

ROCK AND STONE LADS!!

One of the best games ever made. Wholesome and restored my faith in humanity

6:20 i felt a disturbance in the force, as if hundreds screamed in agony.

the moment he ordered the leaf lover's special it was doomed from the start, that pointy eared elf bastard

ROCK AND STONE!

I love this game so much. Literally the best game and best monetization model ever. And has amazing music and mod support so you can make the game as stupid as possible

"no Molly slander in the chat" You play enough, you won't need chat to slander Molly, you'll do it all on your own.

This reminds me of when I first began playing the game. I'm so glad Macro likes it.

Even if you don't make a deep rock video I genuinely hope you just play the game on your own because it's really enjoyable and always welcoming to new players.

i got kicked once for drinking a leaflover, even though i wasn't the one who ordered it

“Apex physics” scout sound intensify

WERE RICH

I can't believe he thought of Torbjorn instead of the original engineer- Dale from TF2.

There’s a setting in settings that can turn off copyright music from the jukebox btw, just for future proofing

Seeing new players to this game will never not be an amazing experience. I haven't done a deep dive yet and I haven't taken on Hazard 5 missions, but I am not really a greenbeard anymore either

I'm a driller main, thousand + hours, blah blah blah. I love this game so much. Especially the community. Fun thing about the drills, the optimal build actually has the drill damage up talent and the drills cool while drilling. Drills count as melee. There is also a vampire perk from melee damage. You can just drill crowds of grunts and heal.

"So this will help me out in the mission?" *black out stout on the bar* Rest of the team: "Ummmm.... yep."

Okay, this'll be the last of my spoiler-free newbie tips comment (dw im not gonna post spoilers in this comment section), so I hope this helps SOMEONE. So, here I present: Upgrades, levels, and classes! Welcome, miner, to this company-mandated beginners' class on your equipment, role, and promotion qualification! The first topic we will begin with is your role in your squad. Driller, please step up. Ah, Driller, the backbone of a dwarven squad. Having you in a complex cave is essential for any dwarf that doesn't want to.. strategize.. and just wants to brute force through the caverns, bending this pitiful planet Hoxxes to our dwarven whims! Additionally, in the *rare* occasion you get into a fight, the driller is best for dealing with the squishy grunts and swarmers, allowing the rest of the dwarves to focus on the bigger glyphids, mactera, and whatever else is to be found in this seemingly endless planet. Ah, good, the Engineer's here.. finally, done tinkering with your turrets and whatever else R&D has idiotically trusted you with? Good, step up. The Engineer might be considered the brains of a field operation, strategically placing traps and turrets at every corner to slow down and blow holes through every pitiful native of this forsaken planet so as to have the rest of the squad unencumbered by stray survivors of the Driller's barrage of flame, frost, and whatever disgusting goop we recycle.. I see, however, the Scout was left behind after being blown up by the Driller, so we will have to find a new candidate for your team.. however, Gunnner! Oh, Gunner.. A torrent of bullets, overheating barrels, and the trusty sidearm too! The gunner makes up for his lack of mobility with the most powerful weaponry on this side of the galaxy, and even a military grade shield generator, even hivemind glyphids can forge their own free will just to be afraid of this walking tank. Hmm, management has assigned a new Scout for your team, he will be coming to this space rig likely toward the end of this class. While we wait for him, let us move on to your equipment. Driller, you start with a custom made CRSPR Dwarven Flamethrower, courtesy of Deep Rock Galactic, of course, a flamethrower needs no introduction. Additionally, we will grant you high grade set of powered titanium drillers, a number of satchel charges, a SUBATA pistol, and up to eight throwing axes. As we see fit, we will also grant you licenses to unlock new weapons - although, I will leave them as a surprise. Engineer, you will start with a WARTHOG shotgun, a specially crafted shotgun with the perfect spread to get every pellet into a glyphid's head from a respectable range. Additionally, we will grant you a turret, with the chance to get two, a platform gun that shoots a special plascrete foam solution - and NO, it is NOT edible, so don't try.. also a 40mm impact grenade launcher, unfortunately in its base form, you can't "rocket jump", or whatever you call it.. Additionally, you will get four L.U.R.E throwable distractions.. just don't get distracted yourself, will you? Gunner! You start with a "Lead Storm" Powered Minigun, go as crazy as you want to! ...But be careful of overheating.. Additionally, we will grant you a Zipline launcher - please be mindful it's faster going down than up - a shield generator that prevents *almost* everything from getting to you, and a Heavy Revolver for a quick burst of high damage. Onto ranking up and how to get a prestigious promotion. The first thing to wrap your head around is that you can gain a company "level" after a set amount of experience. Experience is gained from completing mission objectives, happening across rare encounters throughout Hoxxes, mining resources, and killing enemies. After you have "leveled" your 25th time on any one class, you will be given an assignment from management that will allow you to be promoted after the assignment's completion. Three missions later, go to the memorial hall, pay respects to your fallen brothers QUIETLY. There's been so many disrespecting fee-fi-fo-fummers bumbling about drunk in the memory hall lately! Get your act together! ..Anyway, pay respects to your falling brothers, and walk up to the promotion terminal, pay a measly predetermined fee, which varies from dwarf-to-dwarf, and bravo! After your first promotion, we can trust that your mission success percentage is high enough that you're worth our effort - and drop pod fuel - of scheduling and sending you into an elite or standard deep dive, to prove your worth and gain the ever-so-desired weapon OVERCLOCKS. Hmm, well, that's the end of the final lesson that you dwarves should know, and our Scout's not here.. so.. dismissed, miners! You now have the knowledge to brave the caves of Hoxxes, and prove yourself a true dwarf.

Hearing you defend Molly early in the video is great. Wait until you've run a few hundred missions and on some of those Molly will arrive and unexpectedly bump you...off a cliff...to your death. Good times...good times.

The guy that said friendly fire wasn't anything big hasn't been C4'd on hazard 5. On lower hazard it's okayish but it's good to pick up the habit of not shooting your mates because it prevents their shields from regenerating.

It is a sad day when kids see a turret building class and say "it's like torb from overwatch!" rather than "it's like the engineer from tf2!"

Drg vet here,in my 800+ hours ive seen two toxic players. Its really an anomaly in gaming that im glad to be a part of

Breakdown of each mineral, with minimal spoiling except for the names of a few missions: Morkite, primary mission objective material for the mining missions, you've seen it! Alien Eggs, primary mission objective material for the egg hunt missions, apparently they make good omelets.. or so I've heard. Aquarqs, primary mission objective material for point extraction missions, they are large, glowing blue crystals that are useful for whatever, management doesn't disclose what they do with hoxxes' minerals. Alien fossil, an ancient fossil that appears to be in the form of a Nautilus, or atleast something similar.. also, it's a secondary objective... and ALSO, *please* have a scout on your team, otherwise it'll be hard to get to them.. Dystrum, a secondary mission objective that only occurs in point extraction and refinery missions, a blue-colored metal that can be hard to see in some biomes without sufficient lighting, keep your eyes peeled! Hollomite, secondary mission objective, chosen randomly for each mission out of a variety of secondary objectives. Bismor, a crafting material used to upgrade your equipment, make NEW equipment, and also sell it for a little bit of profit if you really want to.. it's a yellow metal with orange studs sticking out of it, and for whatever reason is almost always shaped in a cubicle shape. Croppa, a crafting material used to upgrade your equipment, make NEW equipment, and also sell it for a little bit of profit if you really want to.. it's a lime-green metal with purple studs sticking out of it, unfortunately this makes two of the three biomes it can be found in hard to be spotted in.. Enor pearl, a crafting material used to upgrade your equipment, make NEW equipment, and also sell it for a little bit of profit if you really want to.. a luminescent, head-sized pearl that is found lodged in the walls of caves, you might have to dig a little to get to the big one.. it spawns similarly to aquarqs and jadiz, so look out for the distinctive, albeit smaller, glowing pearls that light up a wall slightly. Jadiz, a crafting material used to upgrade your equipment, make NEW equipment, and also sell it for a little bit of profit if you really want to.. a lumiscent, torso-sized crystal that glows as green as a leaflover around trees.. it spawns similarly to aquarqs and enor pearls, so look out for the distinctive, albeit smaller, green crystals that light up a wall slightly. Magnite, a crafting material used to upgrade your equipment, make NEW equipment, and also sell it for a little bit of profit if you really want to.. a dark orange metal, dark-grey studs protruding from it, it sticks out from the floor Umanite, a fully green crystal that's hard to miss, it grows out from the floor and edges of walls like hollomite, and yes, it's ALSO a crafting material. Phazyonite, a purplish-pink crystal that's hard to miss, it often splits into smaller 'branches' for lack of a better term.. you can spend it to get cosmetics from the shop in the spacerig, there's no restrictions as to where you can find it. Nitra, a red metal that management loves to the extent they will give you a resupply if you get atleast 80 points of it! So never pass it up.. aslong as you aren't being murdered by 50 glyphids.. Red sugar, a glowing red crystal that has some kind of healing agent within it.. don't pass it up if you're low, and let your teammates know if one of THEM is low and you see it. Gold, gold, gold, gold! WE'RE RICH! Compressed g- WE'RE RICH! WE'RE RICH - Oh, my aching head. (it's just really good and rare gold, it spawns similarly to jadiz, aquarqs, bittergem, and enor pearls) Bittergem, WE'RE RICH - Yes, yes, you're rich.. kindly get a move on! I've got management breathing down my neck here! (it's pretty much the same as compressed gold, don't pass it up if u see glowing purple crystals that spawn similarly to jadiz and such) ER-O-CUB-E, R&D and management has found no way to capitalize on these anomalous rubik's cube-like.. whatever they are.. but since they are rare, we will give you a slight experience bonus for collecting them, although it seems like a waste to me.. Now, I know there's a ton of other *resources*, but I am specifically looking at *minerals*, and a lot of the other resources will directly spoil rare boss/event encounters, and I want Macro to be able to experience those firsthand, as it really helps if the first time you find out about the rare encounters if you experience them ingame, and not just from reading a fan comment.. regardless, I hope this helps you understand what they do, if you read it, of course.

I hope you you'll made more videos about this awesome game

I remember watching your Titanfall 2 play through, I would absolutely love to help you along with this game! I love meeting new people in this game, helping them and teaching them new tricks.

You should upload more! It's such a good game

I love how you can tell the age of a player by whether they compare Engie to Torbjorn from Overwatch or the Engineer from TF2

Nice to see more green beards join the company! ROCK AND STONE!

i’m so glad you decided to make this video. great youtuber playing a great game haha

1:08 HE SAID THE THING

Deep rock is a game about a soulless corporation, yet the devs that make it are the opposite of soulless

Ode of the fallen in the end was such a vibe

and remember macro, if you dont rock and stone, you aint coming home

Dude went on a first mining mission, mined more than he was asked to then realized that he's just an expendable asset to the company. He's already a full-time employee~

your community has great taste brother.

I’ll be honest made my engineer look like Dr. Eggman

Welcome to DeepRock Galactic, You'll get drunk more often than You actually get paid

Welcome to the team, greenbeard. Enjoy your stay, use the laser pointer on Gold Chunks and mushrooms, slap the dice, and kick barrels into the launch bay (management loves it) ROCK AND STONE

1:05 he is gonna be an exelent dwarve just for those two sentences

Just letting you know you can throw grenades with g. Rock and Stone!

As a bit of a greybeard myself, I am delighted to see you join us

The developers sum up the game as Minecraft, team fortress Big guns, left for dead wave hoards. It's the best way to describe the game to a friend, and we are not offended but honored by it.
