How to Promote Characters in Deep Rock Galactic
When it comes to promoting in Deep Rock Galactic, you do the promotion for a specific dwarf, not your overall player. That’s why you need to choose a class and play it to level 25 in order to promote.
At first glance, 25 levels seem like much. But you can follow this guide for how to level up fast in Deep Rock Galactic!
When you do things right, you can level up multiple times just by doing 1 mission.
To promote, you have to be in a private lobby. If you’re playing solo, all good. But if you’re in a team after completing a mission, you have to say goodbye to your fellow dwarves and leave your team.
This can be done by pressing the ESC key and clicking the Leave Team option in the top right corner of your screen.
Now let’s go to the Memorial Hall!
Leave your cabin and head to the entrance between the Pickaxe Customization Terminal and the Equipment Terminal.
You will see an elevator. Wait for it to come down and go in.
Turn around, and you will be on the second floor!
Now let’s go through the tiny tunnel to enter the Memorial Hall.
It’s a big room with black ground, two floors, and some giant statues in the middle. Your goal is at the end of this room, the Promotion Terminal.
When you see a small terminal with 2 scout statues, press E to open the promotion terminal.
See the number of credits and minerals on the screen? That’s the price you have to pay to promote! Now you know why mining gold and special minerals are important, right?
When you’re done and have enough materials, just click “Yes… and hurry up I got mining to do!”, and the promotion success screen will be played. You will then be brought back to your cabin to start a new journey.
