Deep Rock Galactic Survivor, despite the name, is not a typical survival game. It is an auto shooter like a lot of older and retro-style games but this is a serious graphical upgrade. The game allows you to enjoy the retro graphics coupled with the older auto-shooter style of gameplay. It is also a top-down shooter, making auto-shooting that much more enjoyable. The survival elements in this game are in the form of a little mining and resupply, which are not typical of auto-shooter games. Supply drops are some of the most important items in-game since they can get you resupplied and ready to fight more. How to get them, however, seems to have some players confused. So, if you are wondering the same, consider reading this guide until the end.
Auto shooters, specifically top-down shooters, place an emphasis on the environment and the navigation of the environment rather than the enemies themselves. The enemies are just there to tank bullets and deal damage (where applicable). The real enemy, of course, is not backing yourself into a corner and making sure you live to see the next supply drop. This is something this game does very well, to the exclusion of how to get the supply drop.
Deep Rock Galactic Survivor: How to open Supply pods?
Supply Pods, as the name suggests, will help you resupply in-game. They contain health, ammo, or other useful tools and resources you can use to fight the hordes of enemies in games like DRGS. They are vitally important in a game since, without them, it becomes very hard to clear levels. But getting them isn’t as easy as it seems.
How did the developers mess up?
By mess up, we mean they made it hard to get to and open these drops. While it is very obvious that you have to stand in the radius of the drop to open it, the radius itself is misleading. What do we mean? Essentially, the radius has to be unobstructed by anything at all. The littlest of rocks or debris will stop the drop from fully arriving or allowing you to access it.
How to get/open Supply Pods?
So, you will have to mine/clear the entire area of the drop before you can access it. The falling drop will have a yellow indicator, which will turn blue when the area is sufficiently cleared out. If the highlight is blue, you will be able to access the drop. If not, you still have clearing to do. We hope the developers fine-tune this system because of how inconsistent it can sometimes be. If this is adequately addressed before the game heads towards its official launch, there will be little to complain about regarding this game.
Anyway, that is all we have on how to access the supply pods in Deep Rock Galactic Survivor. If you found this guide informative and would like to read more such content, make sure to visit Android Gram daily.
