Hello Miners,
"New year, new me", they say, and Management will approve, if "new me" is even more focused on the work done. Speaking of that, Management is pleased to see so many employees completing their new assignments in the Ossuary Depths!
Anyway, a new year also brings a new Lunar Festival in Deep Rock Galactic, and this year, we're galloping into the Year of the Horse. This year's Lunar Festival goes live in DRG on Tuesday, February 17th at 13.00 CET, and it'll last until March 3rd, 13.00 CET. Here's what's included int he event, straight from the horse's mouth.
Time to start horsing around!
The Company has decided to reward the most stable workers with a new headpiece, the Staggering Stallion. Any dwarf, who completes the Lunar Festival 2026 work assignment, will receive this whimsical addition to their wardrobe. As an extra incentive, the assignment will also unlock the Peerless Warrior, a shiny gold-horse-tiara for the ponys, bronys and Rock and Stone-y's.
Legacy Lunar Looks
We got a note from R&D that their experiments to turn old hats into lethal weaponry has not yet yielded successful results, so management has generously decided to hand these out to employees instead.
Grab all the previous Lunar Festival hats and headwear by completing the Last Year's Blessings assignment. They come with same-minute shipping, the moment you complete your assignment, because that's how efficiently the Company runs.
Furlong-lost Treasure
A cargo ship transporting rare golden horse statues had an unfortunate unplanned rapid disassembly when it hit a stray meteorite. We thought the cargo had gone to the knackers, but we've gotten reports it's been dropped across Hoxxes IV. The Company will get a hefty finder's fee for any of these, so any team recovering a Golden Horse Statue will be awarded with Double Performance Point Bonus. Fortunately, they glow in the dark!
Firecrackers are back on the menu
We've decorated the Space Rig with firecrackers, lamps, banners, and Space Persimmons. And while we said "back on the menu", we'd like to emphasize, that the firecrackers are not edible!
So stop by the Abyss Bar and enjoy the festivities.
