I started playing at the weekend with my teenagers, we’ve agreed to only play DRG when we’re together so no-one goes off ranking up too fast which is what happened when we played Valorant.

We’ve selected classes somewhat randomly, I’m playing engineer, they are driller and gunner.

After about 3 or 4 missions they’ve got to rank 4 and I’m still on 3. I feel like they’re getting more kills because they have more killy weapons (waaagh), is that what the rank system is based on?

If so, have I chosen a class which is slower going or gets better late game? Or, does it not really matter as much as I think? I can see that ranking up means better upgrades, presumably therefore more kills so it could be a feedback loop.

Overall we’ve found it to be great fun as well as a kind of chaotic, screaming mess!

    I didn’t play engi for the longest time for similar reasons. After I unlocked some module upgrades I tried the engi again. I consistently get the most kills in the team, unless there is another engi.

    My build:

    Voltaic: 2-3-1-2-1 with Well Oiled Machine overclock

    40mm: 1-2-1-2-2 with Fat Boy

    Turret: 1-1-2-2
