Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor is getting a free Endless Mode, optimizations and a big expansion

One of the best survivor-like bullet heavens available, Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor is set for a big free upgrade and DLC expansion on April 30th.

The developers have revealed the free update will arrive with a much-requested Endless Mode, which the devs said they spent months optimizing it for but they "fully expect players to find new and creative ways to push systems to their limits".

On top of that they're also adding in "Mastery Milestones" for more of a challenge, an expanded tag system for optimizing player builds and other upgrades behind the scenes like:

• Upgrade to Unity 6.
• KD-tree based physics improvements.
• XP cube performance optimizations.
• VFX system improvements.
• Memory leak fixes and general stability improvements.

As for the Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor - Heavy Duty Expansion that will arrive also on April 30th this will include some big content additions:

NEW CLASS: DEMOLISHER

Built for destruction. Engineered for overkill.

This new powerhouse class operates a fully weaponized industrial vehicle known as the Rockdozer, turning the battlefield into a demolition site. Crush the swarms beneath your wheels, leaving a trail of devastation. If the other dwarves fight the bugs…the Demolisher plows them down.

The Demolisher brings an arsenal of 11 new weapons with him to Hoxxes, available to other classes via the tag system

NEW BIOME: GLACIAL STRATA

Glacial Strata introduces a fast-paced frozen biome where the environment is as powerful as your arsenal. Slide across smooth ice for bursts of speed at the cost of control, trigger deadly icicle traps by shattering ice crystals, and face new cryo-infused enemies adapted to the cold.

With more biome choices added to missions, and without increasing progression requirements, you gain greater freedom to tackle challenges your way.

NEW MISSION: EGG HUNT

Collect alien eggs and have Bosco deliver them to a central cargo pod in a star-shaped flow, forcing you to branch out and return under fire. Once you hit the quota, a short grace period lets you risk it all for extra rewards… if you dare.

Deliver the final egg, and everything changes. A Brood Nexus erupts on top of the pod, locking down your exit and triggering a multi-phase boss fight. It spawns relentless waves of enemies, and at key moments, creates Nexus Sprouts that must be destroyed before you can damage the core again.
