Deep Rock Galactic: Extracting Aquarq Guide

Walkthrough

1
Locate Aquarq deposits using your scanner. They appear as glowing, crystalline formations.
2
Use your mining tools (pickaxe, drills, or specialized weapons) to extract the Aquarq. Be aware of your surroundings and potential enemy ambushes.
3
Once extracted, Aquarq must be transported to a designated collection point or directly to the drop pod. This often requires carrying it manually, making you vulnerable.
4
Defend the collection point or yourself while the Aquarq is being processed or transported. Expect increased enemy activity during extraction.
5
Return to the drop pod before the timer runs out.

Tips

Prioritize Aquarq extraction when it appears, as it's a high-value objective.
Assign roles: one or two dwarves can focus on extraction while others defend.
Use traversal tools (platforms, ziplines, drills) to create efficient transport routes.
Be mindful of environmental hazards and enemy types that can impede extraction.
Communicate with your team to coordinate defense and transport efforts.
