Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core takes the chaotic co-op formula of the original game and pushes it into a much more dangerous roguelike direction. Between facility reclamation runs, brutal Gatekeeper fights, Ascensions, and punishing Gauntlets, there’s a lot to work through if you’re aiming for full completion.
Thankfully, the achievement list is fairly manageable overall. Most unlock naturally through progression, while a handful require class-specific Ascensions, difficult endgame content, or some very specific multiplayer coordination.
Here’s the complete list of every achievement in Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core and how to unlock them.

What Makes the 100% Grind Difficult?
Most of the early achievements in Rogue Core are extremely straightforward. Simply playing through runs, progressing through facility depths, and defeating Gatekeepers will unlock a large chunk of the list naturally. Things get significantly harder once Ascensions and Gauntlets enter the picture.
Each class-specific Ascension achievement requires dedicated playtime with individual roles like Slicer, Spotter, Falconer, Guardian, and Retcon. Players aiming for 100% will eventually need to become comfortable with every class instead of sticking to just one favorite build.
The reclamation achievements also become more demanding as depth increases. Clearing a Depth 4 facility for the Reclaimer Gold achievement is where the difficulty noticeably spikes, especially if your team composition or build setup isn’t optimized.
Then there are the Gauntlets. “Doesn’t Afraid of Anything” is challenging enough for most players, requiring survival through a standard weekly Gauntlet. But “Gauntlet Legend” is easily one of the hardest achievements in the game, asking players to complete one of OMEGA’s enhanced endgame Gauntlets. These runs are designed to punish mistakes and push coordination to the limit.
There are also a few quirky achievements mixed into the list, including “Ram Rod Really Rocks,” which requires four players to gather in the showers aboard the RV-09 Ramrod. It’s one of the more lighthearted achievements in an otherwise brutal list.
How Long Does It Take to Get 100%?
Most players will unlock the majority of achievements naturally within the first 15 to 25 hours as they progress through facility depths and experiment with different systems. However, full completion takes considerably longer because of the Ascension grind and endgame Gauntlets.
A realistic estimate for 100% completion sits somewhere around 50 to 70 hours depending on player skill, team coordination, and how quickly weekly Gauntlets are cleared. Solo players may take even longer, especially when attempting the harder reclamation runs and late-game challenges.
Final Thoughts
Compared to the original Deep Rock Galactic, Rogue Core leans much harder into replayability and long-term progression. The achievement list reflects that design philosophy perfectly, rewarding players for experimenting with multiple classes, surviving increasingly difficult content, and mastering the game’s roguelike systems.
The good news is that nothing here feels impossible. The bad news is that some of these Gauntlets are probably going to make you question your entire squad.
