Save Files for Promotions & X Missions

Grind-free achievements. Just click to promote different dwarfs.

Only for Achievements Completion

Please ignore this guide if you intend playing DRG yourself. It will only take you 300+hrs.

Links and Locations

Back up your own save files first!

1) They can be found at:
D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Deep Rock Galactic\FSD\Saved\SaveGames

2) Download my files from: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gersNS7XkJVo2vRxwN3oD1kmkxlGzX4J/view?usp=sharing

3) Switch off Steam Cloud sync, swop the folders content, start up the game.

Complete X Missions

In one folder you will find these:


So, select a required folder for one of below achievements, and beat a mission:

Consistent Performance
Successfully complete three Hazard Level 3 missions from start to finish in a row.


Employee Of The Month
Successfully complete four Hazard Level 4 missions from start to finish in a row.


Rock Solid
Successfully complete five Hazard Level 5 missions from start to finish in a row.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Select SaveGames 99 Solo + 4DD Done,
and either complete any mission solo for
Bosco, You're The Best
You've completed 100 Solo missions. Most impressive.


or any Deep Dive for
Veteran Diver
Complete Any 5 Deep Dives


Select SaveGames 499 Missions Done and beat any mission to get
Legendary Miner
Complete 500 missions.

Bittergems (and other Stones)

Select SaveGames 9 Bitter Gems, then start any mission and search for purple dots.

Once the gem is deposited, the trophy will pop up.

You may also try getting these two:
Prospector
Collect 20 Compressed Gold Chunks.


What Are These Things?
You've collected 5 mysterious alien artifacts. They are hot to the touch, and smells faintly of...tarmac?


Unfortunately, I've already found 20 and 5 respectively, before I realised the numbers.
However, they may trigger related achievement retrospectively.

Search for a spiked wall for the err cube:


Search for gold dots for the gold chunk.

Promotions

Finally, promotions!

In another folder are back ups for each dwarf before first silver and gold.


The best part: you don't have to play promo assignments and you have enough minerals.
Literally, just walk/run to the promotion terminal and click "promote".

a) Replace folder in the given order, launch DRG, promote a dwarf to his first silver, quit;
b) Repeat with gold promo, then do the same for other miners.

... or you may try to promote the last gold (Scout and Engineer) and hope to trigger all promo-related achievements at once.

Firstly, I've struck upon this guide randomly and I'm not gonna use it, because I want all my achievements legit way, I enjoy this game. However, I admire your dedication and a good will with whom you've posted it, great job, miner!
Also, livinghell, true achievement hunters do not use SAM at all, cringe.

[Ninjamantis]

the only thing i want from this is the 100 solo missions, im at 32 and fuck that, that is a fucking trash achievement they should remove or lower the number

[livinghell]

True achievement hunters usually simply use SAM on different dates. Because savefiles can become not usable after any update.

[fancy]

So does this then make my characters promoted in game? Because if its just achievements then wouldn't achievement manager be easier and safer?

[RealFNG]

It's still working. All u guys need to do is re-name the file of XXXXXXX_Player.sav. Replace XXXX with the numbers of your own save file. Only Player.sav needs to be re-named. Others seems doesn't matter.

[Michael]

It isnt working, could you add me on discord or something and show me how to do it

[Delamaine]

Doesn't work anymore

[Lord Of War]

Yes, they do.

[White Wolf]

Hello, does the saves for promotions still works?
I was trying to use them, but I'm not getting it to work.
thanks for sharing anyway

[Lord Of War]

It's a severe OCD, I'm afraid
