Today, we’re going deep (literally, Rock and Stone!) into a Deep Rock Galactic Survivor Class Tier List for May 2024 meta.

Now, before you all start a flame war in the comments about how Scout is the undisputed king (looking at you, Karl Jr. mains), hear me out. This class tier list is based on solo performance in the creepy depths of Hoxxes IV.

We’re talking survivability, damage output, and all that good stuff a lone dwarf needs to stay digging and blasting until the bitter end in the new Deep Rock Galactic Survivor game franchise.

FAQs on Deep Rock Galactic Survivor Class Tier List

Why is the Juggernaut considered S-tier?

The Juggernaut’s combination of high health, strong weapons, and defensive perks makes them incredibly resilient on the battlefield.

They can effectively draw aggro from enemies, allowing teammates (if playing co-op) to focus on objectives or take down priority targets.

Example: In a high-hazard mission with a swarm of Glyphids, the Juggernaut can use their shield and heavy weapons to hold the frontline, protecting teammates while they clear out the smaller enemies.

What makes the Sharpshooter strong for solo play?

Their high single-target damage and critical strike potential allow them to effectively eliminate priority targets and manage ranged threats.

This is crucial in solo play, where you don’t have teammates to handle specific enemies.

Example: When encountering a Mactera Spawn, the Sharpshooter can quickly take it down with precise shots using their sniper rifle, preventing it from spawning swarms of Mactera Grunts.

Why is the Scout considered lower tier in high-hazard levels?

Scout’s mobility is valuable for navigating the stages, but their primary focus on ranged combat can become a struggle against stronger enemies.

Example: On a high-hazard Elimination mission, I saw Scout struggle to take down a Bulk Detonator in time, thus putting the team at risk.
