Deep Rock Galactic Survivor, a popular dwarfish bullet-heaven spinoff, is preparing for a 1.0 launch in September with a fully-fledged gear system.
Despite being in early access, the game has already sold over a million copies, and developer Funday Games has revealed that the release version will introduce a loot system called 'Gear'.
The Gear system in Survivor includes six types of gear, such as armor, weapon mods, canisters, gadgets, tools, and chips, which can be acquired in missions across four tiers from 'uncommon' to 'legendary' with potential 'quirks' that alter their effects.
Funday Games states that the Gear system will enhance gameplay by making milestones more meaningful, utilizing crafting materials, and emphasizing the role of the drone sidekick Bosco. The game is set to launch on September 17 with more exciting features planned.
