Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor Brings Back Classic Egg Hunt Mode in Upcoming Heavy Duty Expansion
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
Funday Games is bringing the classic Egg Hunt mode from Deep Rock Galactic to its autoshooter spin-off Survivor as part of the upcoming Heavy Duty expansion launching on April 30th, featuring a new star-shaped map layout and a chaotic extraction finale.
Developer Funday Games is mixing up the autoshooter formula by bringing a fan favorite mode from the original Deep Rock Galactic into Survivor. As originally reported by Rock Paper Shotgun, the upcoming Heavy Duty expansion is reintroducing the classic Egg Hunt mission type with a few clever mechanical twists tailored specifically for the spin-off's survival gameplay loop. Players will drop onto alien planets to track down and secure eggs, utilizing their trusty drone dog Bosco to haul valuable cargo back to a central pod.
Unlike the linear progression seen in the mainline cooperative shooter, the Survivor variant adopts a star shaped layout that forces players to constantly branch outward and return to home base. Positioning and route planning will dictate success, especially as quotas scale and players push for extra bonuses. Anyone who has spent hours frantically collecting golden eggs in Splatoon will find a familiar and welcome rhythm here, testing movement efficiency against tightening survival margins.
The tension peaks once the final delivery triggers a chaotic finale. As soon as the last egg is secured, a massive Brood Nexus erupts directly over the extraction point, forcing players to hold their ground against waves of hostile swarms before taking down the boss to punch their ticket off the planet. Players can dive into the new mode when the Heavy Duty DLC officially launches on April 30th.
