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 started playing drg with my family when they were already around level 10, and it doesn’t really effect the gameplay. It’s cool when everyone is a different class, and someone gets a new unlock and you all get to see it for the first time together.
The only time it might matter is if you play with randoms, a rare minority will assume your skill level from you player level.
Playing with people you know, it really won’t matter at all about the skill level
Rock and stone!
