DRG Overclocks: What Happens When You Have Them All?

Combat Summary

• If no weapon Overclocks appear as a reward after completing a Forge slot, it means you’ve collected every currently available one for your arsenal.
• Forge rewards will then shift to Infused Matrix Cores for cosmetics or Blank Matrix Cores, ensuring you always get something useful.
• Continue running weekly Core Hunts and Deep Dives to acquire Blank Matrix Cores in anticipation of future Deep Rock Galactic content updates that may introduce new Weapon Mods or Overclocks.

Understanding Forge Rewards

Upon successfully completing a machine event, you’re granted a Blank Matrix Core. These cores are then infused at the Forge to unlock specific Overclocks or cosmetic items. When the reward screen no longer presents a weapon overclock as an option, it’s a clear indicator: you’ve successfully acquired every single one available within the current game version. Management hasn’t been holding out on you, for once.

The All-Overclock State

Reaching the state of having all Overclocks is a significant achievement, signalling complete mastery over your Weapon Mods. This means you own every existing Clean, Balanced, and Unstable overclock for all weapons across all classes. From this point forward, any Infused Matrix Cores you forge that would have been weapon overclocks will instead yield Infused Matrix Cores for cosmetics or simply Blank Matrix Cores, which you can save for future content. It ensures no core goes to waste, even if your weapon arsenal is complete.

Maximizing Future Core Gains

Even after collecting all weapon Overclocks, your weekly Core Hunts and Deep Dives remain vital. These missions are your primary source of Blank Matrix Cores. Holding onto these blanks means you’ll be ready to infuse new Weapon Mods or overclocks the moment Management decides to drop a new patch. Don’t let your core acquisition pipeline go dry; staying prepared is key to rapid adaptation.

Miner’s Chatter

Experienced Miners confirm this behavior: a lack of weapon Overclocks at the Forge signifies a complete collection. While some express a slight disappointment at not having more to chase immediately, most see it as a welcome sign of progression and an opportunity to focus on cosmetic cores or save blanks for future game updates in Deep Rock Galactic. The consensus is that it’s a clear system, leaving no room for confusion once you hit that milestone.
