It seems that treacherous mining operations are just as dangerous in third-person as in first, so much so that the company offers Supply Drops to help out. The question is, what are the best Supply Drop upgrades in Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor? We have the answers to help you out!

Best Supply Drop upgrades in Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor

There are a plethora of Supply Drop rewards, also known as Artifacts. We only know so far about these ones, although there are plenty more that are unlockable:

All these drops are helpful, but in my experience,the XP Scanner is the best. More XP means you level up faster and gain access to rewards quicker. This is also advice mainly for the early game since most of these Artifacts take time to unlock.

CommonandUncommongrade level-up rewards aren’t game-changing, but they do add up.EpicandLegendarybonuses can transform a run that’s in a death spiral into a win in an instant. On that basis alone, even a small XP boost is worth grabbing whenever you can.

TheNitra Scanner is excellent for second placeas you can spend Nitra between stages. Like level-up rewards, these can be game-changing but more limited as you won’t obtain them as often.

We have theRed Sugar Cube and Gold Scanner at the back of the pack. Gold seems plentiful in Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, and although more is good, I wouldn’t prioritize it. If the Red Sugar Cube granted a more significant health buff, it might be worth grabbing.

If you’re at a much higher level and can access better Artifacts, I’d go for theBLT Ration Packduring crucial moments when you’re low on health, theBRN Shield Beltfor an extra damage dealer, andNitragenic Powderfor a Critical Chance buff with no penalty.

Do Supply Drop rewards stack?

Although Supply Drop rewards are small, they do stack. This means you can focus on a single perk during each stage to yield greater rewards overall. It may take a while to reap visible rewards, but they do add up. Alternatively, you can mix and match to patch up holes in your build.

Some of these Supply Drops specifically note that they can stack up to a certain point, so keep that in mind when diving. Now that you know the best Artifacts to pick, you should also know about thebest permanent upgradesin DRG:S.
