Large Deposit (Unused 220)

Learn how to complete the Large Deposit (Unused 220) Machine Event in Deep Rock Galactic and secure a vital Nitra reward.

The Large Deposit (Unused 220) is a valuable Machine Event in Deep Rock Galactic, offering a significant Nitra reward. Successfully completing this event provides a critical resource boost, enabling more frequent resupplies and increasing your team's overall survivability on Hoxxes IV.

This specific Large Deposit event often spawns in an area with a significant amount of environmental hazards. Expect the Nitra vein to be located near or within areas containing hazards such as acid geysers, explosive fungi, or deep chasms. The enemy waves will typically be a standard mix of Grunts and Swarmers, but the presence of these hazards significantly increases the danger. Enemies can be pushed into hazards, but so can your own team. The terrain might also be uneven, making movement and aiming more difficult.

Strategies for Hazardous Environments:

• Hazard Awareness: Before activating the event, thoroughly scout the area and identify all environmental hazards. Mark them for your teammates.
• Controlled Engagements: Try to lure enemies away from the most dangerous hazard zones. If possible, use hazards to your advantage by luring enemies into them.
• Prioritize Safety: When mining or defending, be acutely aware of your positioning relative to hazards. Avoid standing directly over acid geysers or near explosive fungi.
• Scout's Role: The Scout's mobility allows them to quickly reach the Nitra vein and begin mining while others provide defense. They can also use their grapple hook to navigate hazardous terrain more safely.
• Engineer's Platforms: Platforms can be used to create safe pathways over hazardous terrain or to establish elevated firing positions away from ground-level threats.
• Driller's Tunnels: The Driller can create tunnels to bypass hazardous areas or to provide safer routes for teammates.

Combat Tactics:

1. Designated Hazard Watcher: Ass one player to be particularly vigilant about the hazards, calling out when enemies are near them or when teammates are in danger.
2. Focus Fire on Threats: Standard Grunts and Swarmers are manageable, but be mindful of Exploders that might be near explosive fungi.
3. Controlled Mining: If the Nitra vein is large, consider a mining rotation. One or two players mine while the others provide a defensive perimeter, ensuring they are not in immediate danger from hazards.
4. Call for Resupplies Safely: When calling for resupplies, ensure the drop zone is clear of hazards. Have teammates cover the area to protect You interacting with the resupply.

Key to Success: Constant awareness of environmental hazards and careful positioning are crucial for successfully extracting the Nitra from the Large Deposit (Unused 220).
