Egg Hunt missions are one of the types of missions available in Deep Rock Galactic. Egg Hunt is the first new mission that player can unlock after completing the first Mining Expeditions. Egg Hunt missions begin in large, unconventional caves with many corridors and involve the acquisition of a certain amount of alien eggs. The latter are extremely well hidden and it takes a lot of pressure to locate them first and then to get them out of the nests.

Unlike the other resources available in Deep Rock Galactic, alien eggs are not visible at first glance. They are buried deep in organic matter and must be extracted from there by using a pickaxe. Matter is very susceptible to damage and can be destroyed with just one strike.

While playing multiplayer game, you can always ask for the support of your teammates.

If you are being attacked by aliens or you are located extremely high and have no chance of delivering the egg to the depository, you can always throw it at the better positioned allies and start fighting against your opponents or descend to the ground safely.
