How To Be More Successful At DRG: Survivor - Part 7

Hello Miners!

This is the seventh video in my series on How To Be More Successful At Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor! This series will focus on a number of topics that I believe will help you elevate your DRGS game!

For part 7, we're following up on the previous parts to correct the record or add new details. Part 7 is targeted at players who watched the other parts, but I'm sure new players will learn something too, albeit you might want to watch the other parts for context.

UPDATE 2025-12-15: Gear rarity drop chances and the chance to drop gear has changed so the final sections on gear for this video is now out of date. Links below are still valid (the docs have been updated), but more info is in a Reddit post here:   / all_things_gear_v2
