Hello Miners,

Welcome to SEASON 06 - RELICS OF HOXXES! New discoveries on Hoxxes require your urgent attention. You’re delving into a brand new planetary region, pursuing new riches, and facing off those who might stand in the Company’s way.

Season 06 is live right this minute here on Steam, and it’ll come to consoles in about two weeks. As always, this small delay is because of console-specific certification processes.

Let’s take a look at the new season!

Technical note: Steam's video embedding feature is still uncooperative for some people, it seems. If you don't see a clickable video right below this text, there should be a small hyperlink instead.

Patch notes - S06: Relics of Hoxxes

---

NEW MISSION: HEAVY EXTRACTION

The Company has detected a new material that was recently unearthed by a series of planetwide tectonic shifts. Huge deposits of Resinite have been discovered all over Hoxxes.

Delve underground, seek out the Resinite Masses, dig them free, and extract them via the lift rockets we send down to assist in the endeavor. We’ve got no equipment to triangulate the exact location of Resinite Masses, so keep your eyes peeled for great amber chunks sticking out of the ground.

As always, Management recommends familiarizing yourself with the mission details in the Miner’s Manual aboard the Space Rig. Good luck down there!

---

NEW BIOME: OSSUARY DEPTHS

A new planetary region has been discovered, and management has approved the Ossuary Depths for extraction operations. This gloomy new biome is home to a grim collection of skeletal remains gathered from all over Hoxxes.

And among these dusty bones lives a new threat: The Ossirans.

---

THREE NEW ENEMIES

OSSIRAN SCRAB: This winged menace is capable of swarming you from above and below. It’s an agile threat when flying through the air, and its thick outer shell allows it to put up a strong defense when grounded. Your best bet is to deal damage when it's airborne.

OSSIRAN PIT JAW: This larger variant of Ossiran lies in wait just below the surface, ready to ambush any dwarf that wanders too close. Its jaws are strong enough to incapacitate, and it’ll take a good chunk out of your health if it catches you. It may let you go, especially if provided with sufficient incentive from your allies, but be warned - once its cover is blown, the Pit Jaw will relocate to set up another ambush nearby.

OSSIRAN BONE COLLECTOR: Lacking any offensive capabilities, the Bone Collector will flee when confronted by a heavily armed dwarf. Should you encounter it, give it a fright and keep an eye on where it runs off to…

---

SEASON EVENT: OSSIUM RAID

Ossiran Bone Collectors have been spotted all over Hoxxes. You’ll know them by their distinct blue glow and scurrying movements (no, it’s not Scout). The Bone Collectors are harmless, and will run off when threatened (wait is it Scout?). Once they do, follow their trail through the caves until you reach their lair. Digging through a thin layer of dirt, you’ll find a secret trove of Ossium gems, a unique and valuable byproduct of the Ossirans’ bone collections.

Be aware: Disturbing the Ossium gems will alert nearby nesting Scrabs, so be careful when raiding these Ossium troves.

---

NEW DEEP DIVE SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: HEAVY EXTRACTION

The aforementioned tectonic tremors have caused Resinite Mass deposits to appear throughout the caves of Hoxxes. Now you may encounter them in any biome during Deep Dive operations. In this case, you you know what to do: Find the Resinite Mass, dig it free, and extract it using the provided lift rockets. Then carry on with your main objective.

---

NEW MISSION WARNINGS

SCRAB NESTING GROUNDS: Swarms of Scrabs have settled in caves all over Hoxxes. Expect a steady influx of Scrab hostiles, and try to steer clear of their nests.

PIT JAW COLONY: Reports have come in of migratory groups of Pit Jaws spotted both within and beyond the Ossuary Depths. Watch your step on any mission where this warning is active.

---

NEW PERFORMANCE PASS

Season 06 comes with a brand new Performance Pass loaded with new cosmetics, mineral bundles and an all-new weapon framework, Diesel Driven, to earn through good old hard work.

As always, the Performance Pass (and all other Season 06 content) is completely free, and you can always switch back to progress in other seasons' Performance Passes whenever you want.

---

NEW DANCE MOVES

We’ve taught the dwarves another 2 new dance moves:

• Get groovy with The Disco Finger.

• Or showcase your elastic appendages with The Arm Wave.

Dance moves are to be used responsibly at the Abyss Bar dance floor only.

---

NEW WEAPON MAINTENANCE PAINT JOBS

We’re expanding the Weapon Maintenance reward system with a new paint job to earn: WM 6.1 ‘Crimson Call’. It’s red.

---

NEW DLC: THE RELIC RAIDER PACK

Join the Relic Raiders: Deep Rock Galactic’s daring division of combat archaeologists. If antiquities turn up at a dig site, it’s the Raiders who get sent in to catalog, appraise and extract the goods. They’re a bit old school, sure – but so is their line of work.

Whoever said “It belongs in a museum!” clearly didn’t know how much this stuff sells for.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4207910/Deep_Rock_Galactic__Relic_Raider_Pack/ This DLC is purely cosmetic, and will not affect your gameplay, performance or progression in any way.

---

Hello Miners,

This patch is just a small patch to prepare for upcoming holiday events, as well as 2 small fixes, we found in the airlock.

With Love, The Ghost Ship Crew

--- PATCH NOTES —

• Fixed profanity filtering, so it now works and follows your Steam settings

• Added some effects to change when using the photo-sensitivity options

EDIT: Updated to Patch S05.11.1 to fix a small backend issue

Hello Miners,

We have hopefully fixed the issue where mods would be disabled after reloading the game. In addition we also added a Refresh button to the modding menu, that should help resolve various issues when there are issues connecting between the game and mod.io.

With Love, The Ghost Ship Crew

— PATCH NOTES —

• Fixes issues where some had mods disable when reloading the game, forcing them to enable their mods everytime they started the game

KNOWN ISSUE: When refreshing on the modding menu, it will say mods have been disabled due to a crash. This is just an UI issue with the prompt, as mods are still loaded

Hello Miners,

We have fixed some issues with the modding update, biggest of which was an issue, where the mod list would not populate with your mods if a mod status was pending

With Love, The Ghost Ship Crew

--- PATCH NOTES —

• Fixed that your sorting settings for viewing mods where not saved

• Renamed mod browser buttons for clarity

• Fixed an error when populating the mod list, which would result in an empty list if a mod was pending

• Removed keyboard navigation from mod browser as it broke searching

Hello Miners,

We have made some changes to how modding behaves in DRG, as well as updating the Mod.io API. We have moved Modding from the menu in the Spacerig to the start of the game on the info screen. The idea behind this was to reduce potential errors that could happen because of hot loading mods. We have kept the modding menu in the Spacerig, but as view-only so players can see what mods they have active, but no changes can be made on this menu except loading back to the info screen.

Since the Mod.io API has been updated, we now also have an ingame mod browser, as well as the option to use your preferred browser. The API update should also have several years of fixes for the plugin.

With Love, The Ghost Ship Crew

--- PATCH NOTES —

• Updated modding behaviour

• Added missing hit reactions on enemies

• Fixed Glyphid forelegs not being blown off when killed by explosions

• Increased visibility of Unknown Horror when in Medium and Low Effect Quality.

• Added content for upcoming events

• Updated game credits with latest translators
