one of my favorite things about Deep Rock Galactic is the dwarves' enthusiasm, and how infectious it is. something as simple as a hotkey that lets your character salute is such a small, yet impactful feature that brings out the best in people when they're together.
DRG players have taken to making their characters salute whenever:
a new player joins their game
whenever the team completes an objective, or kills a tough enemy
whenever a player revives them
whenever the team completes the entire mission
whenever anyone does something cool
whenever they successfully piss off mission control
or even just… whenever someone else salutes. even if literally nothing happened to warrant the saluting. even when there's a good chance the first salute was an accident.
this creates an environment where the players are constantly and endlessly CELEBRATING each other’s company, all in a game about mining stuff and shooting alien bugs in the face.
it immediately establishes a sense of camaraderie with people you’ve never met, and i think it’s beautiful how this game encourages uplifting each other.
