Hello Miners,
The salty scent of surf wafts in from the nearby beach. There’s sand between your toes. A seagull calls as it flies overhead. You’re eating a big bowl of sunscreen with a spoon.
This can only mean one thing: It’s time for the Space Beach Party seasonal event in Deep Rock Galactic, which is a game about surfing. The Beach Party kicks off on Thursday, August 1st at 13:00 CEST and makes waves until August 15th.
Let’s take a quick peek at what’s coming!
Fun seasonal mandatory work assignments
It ain’t summer vacation without a bit of hard work! Only joking, folks – the DRG company handbook doesn’t say anything about vacation. Anyway, there’s a new assignment for you: the Hoxxes Summer Cruise.
Complete it, and we’ll reward you with our wettest hat yet: The Tentacle Topper.
The flower helps mask the smell.More sensational summer headwear
New to the Space Beach Party? You can still earn all the other cosmetic rewards from previous Beach Party events. Just complete the Last Year's Summer Fashion assignment, and you’ll earn all the old ones in one fell swoop. Might have to shake the sand out of ‘em, though.
Wanted: Pool floaties
In yet another black mark on the shipping record of Longbeard Freight, those buffoons have fumbled a big load of fun inflatable pool floaties, scattering them throughout the caves. These pool toys are critical for mining operations, so we need them back. Deposit one during a mission, and your whole team will earn a Double Performance Pass Point Bonus. Totally tubular!
Summertime radness aboard the Space Rig
Although Management didn’t approve our budget request for a wave pool, we’ve still got the Space Rig looking beachy. You’ll see it and say, “Lu-wow!” Get it? Like luau. Moving right along, the Rig’s been decorated with holiday lights, (slappable!) inflatable palm trees, beach-tastic audio ambiance, big buckets of water balloons, and several tons of coarse, rough, irritating sand.
Management requests that all employees handle the water balloons responsibly, as the insurance policy on the Space Rig doesn't cover water damage.
The 2024 Space Beach Party kicks off in just two days, on August 1st at 13:00 CEST. It might come to consoles just a teeny bit later.
Make sure to ask your teammates for help putting sunscreen on your back!
With Love,
-The Ghost Ship Beach Bums
