I started playing at the weekend with my teenagers, we’ve agreed to only play DRG when we’re together so no-one goes off ranking up too fast which is what happened when we played Valorant.
We’ve selected classes somewhat randomly, I’m playing engineer, they are driller and gunner.
After about 3 or 4 missions they’ve got to rank 4 and I’m still on 3. I feel like they’re getting more kills because they have more killy weapons (waaagh), is that what the rank system is based on?
If so, have I chosen a class which is slower going or gets better late game? Or, does it not really matter as much as I think? I can see that ranking up means better upgrades, presumably therefore more kills so it could be a feedback loop.
Overall we’ve found it to be great fun as well as a kind of chaotic, screaming mess!
I’m running around screaming and dying and throwing flares at enemies and grenades at my allies. Are you meant to do something else?!
Seriously though, I don’t think I placed them as best as I could, our last mission was liquid morkite and I feel like I could have done better turret placement on platforms in the central chamber.
See there, that’s the problem. You’re an engineer playing like you’re a driller.
