Rock and Stein! Rocktoberfest Returns to Deep Rock Galactic
Deep Rock Galactic is raising a stein to the return of Rocktoberfest! The party starts today, on September 24th at 04:00 PDT / 07:00 EDT / 12:00 BST / 13:00 CEST. Miners can dust off their lederhosen for two weeks of seasonal work assignments, questionable refreshments, and dwarven festivities.
This year, Management is tapping into innovation with the new Freihand Tap Cap, allowing dwarves to keep their beer close while, crucially, leaving both hands free for work. Miners can unlock the new headwear by completing the limited-time Rocktoberfest Assignment, while the returning Hunt for Lederhosen Assignment rewards the iconic Lederhosen outfit alongside previous years’ Rocktoberfest hats.
Best Wurst Beer is also back on tap, combining a refreshing lager and nutritious sausage into one questionable, but efficient meal. Unfortunately, the mugs have gone missing. Miners who dig up and deposit discarded Wurst Steins during missions will be rewarded with Double XP. As always, the Space Rig has been decorated for the occasion with checkered tablecloths, novelty pretzels, and plenty of autumnal cheer.
The Rocktoberfest 2026 event is available now in Deep Rock Galactic and will be running until 8 October, 04:00 PDT / 07:00 EDT / 12:00 BST / 13:00 CEST.
Rocktoberfest 2026 Key Information:
Hats On, Steins Up – Complete this year’s limited-time Rocktoberfest Assignment to unlock the new Freihand Tap Cap. While Management may have reservations about encouraging drinking on the job, its hands-free design means productivity needn’t suffer.
Dressed to the Nines, Dwarven Style – Miners missing a pair of Lederhosen can complete the returning Hunt for Lederhosen Assignment to add the traditional attire to their wardrobe. Completing the assignment will also unlock previous years’ Rocktoberfest hats for anyone looking to catch up on the festivities.
Wurst Case Scenario – Best Wurst Beer returns to the Abyss Bar, serving lager and sausage in one frosty mug. Management has also discovered that reusing discarded Wurst Steins is cheaper than buying new ones, so miners who retrieve and deposit mugs found throughout Hoxxes IV will earn Double XP for their mission.
Ale in a Day’s Work – The Space Rig has undergone its annual Rocktoberfest makeover, with the Abyss Bar decked out in checkered tablecloths, novelty pretzels, seasonal decorations and, naturally, plenty of beer. Miners are encouraged to enjoy the festivities responsibly between shifts.
