Deep Rock Galactic Resupply & Nitra Etiquette Guide

Combat Summary

• Never take more than two resupply charges from a four-dwarf pod unless explicitly given permission or it’s a dire, team-wide emergency.
• Always ping Nitra deposits and resupply pods. Communicate low ammo needs to your team before ordering, especially in tight areas.
• If teamkilled repeatedly over resources, disengage from the specific players, block them, and report their behavior to Management. Don’t escalate.

Even experienced Miners sometimes struggle with resource management, especially the unspoken rules of Deep Rock Galactic resupplies and Nitra. While most incidents are accidental, consistent harassment around shared resources is often a sign of Toxic Players who misinterpret common courtesies or simply enjoy griefing. As a New Miner Guide, understanding proper Resupply Etiquette and Nitra Management is crucial for smooth runs and avoiding unnecessary conflict.

Resupply Etiquette Explained

A resupply pod provides four charges. In a full team of four, the standard rule is ‘two for me, two for you.’ Each Dwarf gets two charges. Do not take more than two unless a teammate is specifically offering their share (e.g., ‘I only need one, you take three’) or a critical, team-wiping situation demands it (like a single Dwarf being the last alive and needing all available ammo to survive a swarm and revive others). Calling a resupply when others are near full ammo, or taking more than your share, is a common flashpoint. Always ping it, check team ammo, and communicate. Your primary weapons are often more ammo-efficient than secondaries for general use, so manage those reserves.

Nitra Management Best Practices

Nitra is the lifeblood of our operations on Hoxxes IV, directly correlating to how many resupply pods your team can call. Every piece of Nitra collected contributes to the shared pool. While there’s no strict ‘don’t mine Nitra’ rule, there are common-sense Teamwork Tips that prevent issues:

• Always deposit: Don’t hold onto large amounts of Nitra unless you’re literally carrying it to a deposit point. Hoarding makes the team think you aren’t contributing.
• Ping it: Use your laser pointer to ping Nitra deposits. This helps the Scout or Engineer (if present) locate and collect it efficiently.
• Don’t ignore it: Every miner should grab Nitra when they see it, especially if the team is low. Your example of being killed for mining extra Nitra is highly unusual and points to truly toxic behavior, not standard etiquette.

Dealing with Toxic Players

The examples of being consistently downed for trying to get ammo or mining Nitra are not standard procedure or acceptable behavior, even among ‘higher level players.’ This is outright bullying. Your response of letting them die was understandable, but in the future, consider these options:

• Disengage: If you encounter players repeatedly teamkilling for no valid reason, leave the mission immediately. Your time is too valuable to waste on such antics.
• Block: Use the in-game player block feature to avoid matching with them again.
• Report: Management doesn’t appreciate insubordination or intentional sabotage. Report players who engage in targeted harassment or teamkilling to the system. Provide details and screenshots if possible. While Management is slow, they do act on repeated, severe infractions.

When Things Go Wrong

Your instincts to wait for the team, use class abilities, and buy drinks are all good habits. The issue wasn’t your ‘newness’ or a fundamental misunderstanding of the game. It was a failure of the other Miners to uphold basic teamwork. Some individuals use their rank or perceived experience as an excuse for bad behavior. Don’t let their toxicity discourage you. There are plenty of good Dwarves out there who will uphold the values of Rock and Stone.

Miner’s Chatter

The community largely agrees that deliberate teamkilling over resources is unacceptable. While minor accidental friendly fire happens, especially with area-of-effect weapons, persistent attacks, blocking resupplies, or stranding teammates at extraction points are considered severe violations of Miner solidarity. Many recommend immediate mission abandonment and reporting such players.
