Deep Rock Galactic: Driller Class Build Guide

Deep Rock Galactic's Driller class provides teams with a traversal support class with immensely helpful crowd control abilities. While other classes specialize in gunning down enemies, building structures, and lighting hard-to-reach places, the Driller focuses on clearing the path for other players. The main attributes of a Driller deal with cutting through rock quickly and effectively to lead the way for teammates.

Different class builds can be equipped for players to maximize efficiency with the Driller class in Deep Rock Galactic. The Driller's crowd control weaponry mixed with its quick traversal and path-building abilities make for a supreme co-op class. Any of the other three Deep Rock Galactic classes can be paired up with the Driller to defeat any of the challenges presented in the game. However, in order to maximize usefulness, players can use a standard Driller class setup with a promoted character in Deep Rock Galactic. Using this class setup assures Driller players will benefit their team spectacularly.

Depending on player preferences, each player will have a slightly different class build for the Driller. While some weapons, equipment, and throwables work well for some Deep Rock Galactic players, they might not be as effective for others. The most standard setup for each weapon, piece of equipment, and throwable may vary, but the main point of the Driller stays the same. No matter which class build players use, the Driller must manage crowds of enemies while clearing pathways through rocks for teammates. As a result, driller weapons are regarded as some of the best for Mining Expeditions in Deep Rock Galactic.
