How to Get Pickaxe Parts in Deep Rock Galactic
A pickaxe in DRG contains 7 different parts: Front Blade, Back Blade, Handle, Head, Shaft, Paintjob, and Pommel.
Manually searching for the lost pack will only give you 1 random part at a time. Where doing assignments or buying DLCs will give you a whole set (7 parts of the same set) of a pickaxe.
- The Lost Pack
With the myth of the miners being abandoned on Hoxxes, sometimes you can find a lost helmet lying around in each mission in DRG.
The lost pack has a 15%, 20%, and 35% chance to spawn, respectively, on one, two, and three mission lengths. With that being said, a mining mission with 3 mission lengths is by far the easiest one to find the lost pack.
Like cargo crates, the lost helmet will play a beeping sound but at a slower rate. Use the sound to locate the helmet and scan it to reveal the hidden treasure, which is a pink star that appears in your Terrain Scanner.
If your team has a Driller, it will be much easier to dig to the treasure. Otherwise, it will be a huge pain to dig through a long tunnel. Especially if you’re in Radioactive Exclusion Zone or Magma Core biomes.
When activated, the Lost Pack can give you one of the following items: armor paintjobs, pickaxe parts, and a Bosco’s paintjob. You can get 53 different pickaxe parts through the Lost Pack in Deep Rock Galactic, divided into 7 sets and 4 separate Backblade parts.
- Pickaxe Assignments
You can unlock 4 new pickaxe sets by doing the Pickaxe Hunt assignments. They’re Chasm-Borne Cliffhanger, Gadgeteer’s Favorite, Reaper’s Claw, and Drift Crusher, which can be unlocked at the player’s rank 20, 30, 50, and 70, respectively.
Each assignment contains 4 missions. The first one will always give you a pommel, the second will give you a handle, the third gives you a shaft, and the final mission will give you blades, a head, and a lovely paintjob.
- Buying DLCs
The final way to earn pickaxe parts in DRG will involve some money!
With DLCs, you can unlock the final 7 pickaxe sets of the game. They’re MegaCorp, Roughneck, Dawn of the Dread, The Supporter, Rival Tech, Robot Rebellion, and Biohazard pickaxe.
All of the DLCs cost $7.99, except for the Supporter, which will cost $14.99 because not only does it adds a weapon framework and new paint job for armor, weapons, and pickaxe, but it also adds a new beer, one new helmet, and a supporter badge which will display near.
Those are 3 ways to get pickaxe parts in Deep Rock Galactic!
