Hello Miners,
The eggs are back. There are dozens of them. Hundreds, even.
At a time when the world is more focused on eggs than ever before, we thought it would be apt to bring back the ultimate in egg-centric celebrations: The Great Egg Hunt.
That’s right, eggheads. The Great Egg Hunt is coming back to Deep Rock Galactic on Thursday, April 10th, and it’s bringing a veritable eggload of goodies and professional development opportunities along with it.
It’s time to count our eggs before they hatch. Here’s a preview of what’s coming – and if you’re interested, there’s some Rogue Core news down at the bottom.
A new hat for your health and pleasure
You can’t spell The Great Egg Hunt without “hats!”
Well you can, but it wouldn’t make a very good segue to talk about hats. Speaking of hats, we’ve got a new one for you. The college kids down in R&D have spent the past year pushing the envelope of noggin-covering technology, and their proud result is the Winged Buckaroo.
Want it? You’ll have to work for it. We’re a mining company, not a hat charity. You can earn it via the Great Egg Hunt assignment in the Mission Terminal.
Historic hats of Egg Hunts past
Celebrating The Great Egg Hunt with just a single hat would be like making an omelet with a single egg. Ridiculous! Only a child would be satisfied.
Fret not, miners. Management, in their boundless generosity, has approved the release of a cache of headwear from previous Egg Hunt celebrations. If you forgot to collect these earlier editions, now’s your chance! Complete the Last Year’s Spring Fashion assignment and you’ll get all of them forever.
Wanted: Adorable bunnies, dead or alive
Despite their track record, Management decided to once again entrust a load of Mechanical Spring Bunnies to the infamous Longbeard Freight Company. But to our great dismay and surprise, those buffoons have biffed the job once again! Another Longbeard vessel has been lost with all hands over Hoxxes, and its payload is now scattered throughout the caves.
These confounded rabbit toys are making a horrible racket, and it’s disrupting our Deep Scan activities. If you see one while down in the caves, shoot its lights out and deposit it in the M.U.L.E. to earn a Double Performance Pass Bonus for your whole team.
The Space Rig has been egged
If you thought last year’s egg budget was excessive, you wouldn’t believe what this year’s seasonal decorations cost the company. Management has forked over a small fortune to deck out Space Rig 17 with lovely pastel lights, adorable bunny garlands, inflatable carrots and a bounty of decorative eggs. As always, the eggs are to be appreciated from a safe distance.
While the eggs have been unusually expensive this year, please don’t be concerned that these eggshorbitant eggspenditures are cutting into Company profits. Management has wisely found room in the annual budget by eliminating wasteful spending on laundry, cleaning and sterilization services in the Medical Bay.

But wait, there’s more! There’s also a new Below Decks behind-the-scenes article, which explores the design process behind the Reclaimer gauntlets you see in the video. Give it a read if you’ve got the time and interest.

That's it for now! See you all next week to offer you an egg in this trying time.

Hope everybody's doing well -- Rock and Stone.
With eggs,
-The Ghost Ship Crew
