KEY POINTS

Weapons and gear can be unlocked after reaching certain levels
Players must finish specific assignments in order to make new gear purchasable
Each assignment involves completing a few missions with a specific character class

Each of the four classes in "Deep Rock Galactic" has a set of equipment with which they start out. However, eager miners have the opportunity to unlock even more tools and weapons down the line if management deems them worthy.

Unlocking new gear in "Deep Rock Galactic" is rather simple, if not time-consuming. It requires a fair amount of dedication, which shouldn't be a problem if players are enjoying the game, so get ready to squash some bugs and make the interstellar space dwarf mining company proud.

How to unlock new weapons

The first thing that new players must know is that they need to finish all 10 of the onboarding missions in order to unlock the Assignments Board. This short quest chain will introduce most of the game modes in "Deep Rock Galactic" to ease fresh miners into the bigger picture.

Once the missions are finished, players must reach level 10 with their preferred class. Doing so will unlock the first weapon assignment, which will play out much like the chain of missions players finished earlier, albeit much shorter in overall length.

Finish the assignment and the associated weapon will become available for purchase at the Equipment menu. Make sure to have a healthy stock of items at the ready beforehand to save some time.
