Best way to upgrade your character in Deep Rock Galactic Survivor

Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor has a lot going on for you, and every time your character levels up, you have to choose one of the three skills to upgrade. It can be daunting with all the choices, but this guide will teach the best way to upgrade your character in Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor.

What skills to prioritize in Deep Rock Galactic Survivor

Generally, you will have a choice between fire rate, reload speed, crit chance and damage, mining and walking speed, among others. However, these should not be the focus as they don't matter once you are level 15 to 20. The main reason for that is this game allows you to overclock your weapons at certain levels.

Once you overclock a weapon, you get massive boosts with it, which are better than any skills you might have chosen along the way. In some rare occurrences, you will get a legendary or better upgrade option, in which case, you should go for that, but anything else is a no, as your primary focus should be overclocking your weapon.

How to overclock your weapons in Deep Rock Galactic Survivors

To overclock your weapons, you have to choose skills that level them up and reach the required level for overclocking. The skills have weapon icons and a small description, where you can find the weapon related to the skill and see whether that skill increases its level.

The paint job upgrade increases your weapons level by one or more levels. This is generally a better choice when it increases more than one level and when you don't have other skills that level up your weapon. Unlike other upgrades, the paint job does not provide any straight buffs to the weapons, and it only helps you reach overclock levels faster.
