Deep Rock Galactic: Biohazard Pack (released 2022) is a cosmetic add-on for the cooperative sci-fi shooter where players undertake mining expeditions on hostile planets, battling alien swarms. This pack specifically adds unique armor sets, helmets, and themed paintjobs for gear and drones, enhancing visual customization without altering core PvE gameplay or progression.
This title, released in late 2022, is an expansion focused on cosmetic customization for the core cooperative first-person shooter experience. Available on PC and Xbox platforms, the central premise involves players descending into the hostile planet of Hoxxes IV to complete mining objectives while combating indigenous alien lifeforms, which are currently affected by a Rockpox infection scenario.
The underlying game structure revolves around cooperative PvE expeditions. Players select one of several distinct classes, each possessing unique tools and traversal methods, to navigate procedurally generated cave systems. The primary loop involves exploration, resource extraction, managing ammunition and objectives, and surviving intense waves of hostile creatures.
This content is purely cosmetic and does not alter the core mechanics, difficulty, or progression of the main game. The Biohazard Pack introduces specialized visual gear for player characters. This includes four unique armor sets, each paired with a corresponding helmet design.
Beyond the primary gear sets, players gain access to Biohazard-themed paintjobs. These visual overlays can be applied to existing armors, primary and secondary weapons, and even the player's personal utility drone, allowing for extensive visual personalization across the loadout.
This pack is intended for existing players who enjoy the established cooperative mining and shooting gameplay loop and wish to enhance the visual presentation of their dwarf characters with a distinct, thematic aesthetic.
