Salt Pits

Master the open and challenging Salt Pits biome in Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, utilizing long-range weapons and high mobility.

The Salt Pits biome is known for its vast, open caverns and crystalline salt formations. This environment often features enemies that can cover ground quickly or launch ranged attacks across open spaces. The primary objectives here might involve mining large salt deposits or dealing with specific types of fast-moving or burrowing enemies.

Successfully completing a Salt Pits Hazard 5 dive ('Salt Pits' achievement) demands excellent situational awareness and the ability to manage large groups of enemies in open areas. Weapons with long range, high projectile count ('Count em!' at 150,000 projectiles), or wide area-of-effect are highly effective. Mobility is key for kiting and avoiding being surrounded in the expansive spaces. Look for opportunities to use the large salt pillars as temporary cover or to create choke points. Enemies like Glyphid Praetorians and Mactera are common, requiring a mix of single-target and AoE damage. Upgrades to critical hit chance ('Squint and squeeze the trigger' at 75% crit chance) can significantly boost your damage output against tougher foes.
