Need to know how to promote your character in Deep Rock Galactic? There’s nothing like showing off your progress and good work like getting a promotion. But how do you do it?

Deep Rock Galactic is full of missions and mining to enjoy in the dark caves of Hoxxes IV. Whether you’re going in solo or with a team, it’s tons of fun. And, with the Special Edition release date coming up, it’s never a better time to grind. Once you’ve done work, you’re able to be promoted. We’re here to show you how to do it.

How to get a promotion in Deep Rock Galactic

To get promoted in Deep Rock Galactic, you have to first reach level 25 for your class. If you haven’t done this yet, play more missions and finish assignments to get to the necessary level. You won’t be able to be promoted if you aren’t level 25, so don’t waste your time looking for the promotion assignment.

Once you’ve successfully gotten to level 25, head over to the Assignment Board and you’ll see the Promotion Qualification assignment for whatever class you’ve reached level 25 in. These assignments are a specific set of high-risk and high-payout missions. They’re different for each class. Here are the mission types for each class:

Engineer

  • Mining Expedition
  • Salvage Operation
  • Egg Hunt
  • On-site Refining

Driller

  • Mining Expedition
  • Escort Duty
  • On-site Refining
  • Point Extraction

Scout

  • Mining Expedition
  • Salvage Operation
  • Egg Hunt
  • Escort Duty

Gunner

  • Mining Expedition
  • Salvage Operation
  • Egg Hunt
  • Escort Duty

Once you’ve completed the assignment for your respective class, it’s time to head to the terminal and get that sweet promotion. Luckily, I found that for my first promotion, these assignments didn’t take too long. They were well worth the time. If you have a specific class you want to promote, try to get used to the mission types before the promotion. It makes it easier to complete the assignment.

Where to find the Promotion Terminal in Deep Rock Galactic

Once you’re at level 25, and completed the Promotion assignment, head to the Memorial Hall. Behind the big statue and up the ramp is the Promotion Terminal. Go here, and you’ll be able to be promoted.

Unfortunately, being promoted means you do have to pay a fee. However, this is well worth it for the rewards you’ll get.

Never turn it down

You should always promote yourself when you can. While you do have to pay a fee, it’s small and well worth the rewards you get for it. Plus, you get to show off to everyone you play with as promotions are the prestige levels in the game.

What do you get for getting promoted in Deep Rock Galactic?

As a reward for promotion, you’ll receive the Honor Badge. This is a bronze border around your profile with a star at the top. For your first promotion, you’ll unlock the border. Future promotions will add stars to the border and change it from bronze to other colors. You’ll also receive three rewards to claim, which will be useful for the endgame.

Getting promoted will reset your level to one, as well. This will allow you to continue leveling up and earning rewards for it. You’ll also gain access to the Deep Dives endgame activity, and The Forge terminal.

That’s everything you need to know about how to promote your dwarf in Deep Rock Galactic. If you’re looking for more info, check out our Season 5 release window for all the news on the next season of the game.
