Rogue Core database

Rogue Core Classes

This catalog preserves five roles documented in the Closed Alpha source set. Class identity was centered on signature gauntlet abilities while weapons and most equipment were shared across the team.

Current roster check · August 29, 2026

Early Access lists Retcon, not Gorgon

The current official Steam description lists Guardian, Falconer, Retcon, Spotter, and Slicer as the five playable classes. The cards below preserve an older Closed Alpha source set, so its Gorgon entry is historical and must not be read as the current roster.

How class identity works

Gauntlets first, weapons shared

Rogue Core classes primarily determine the player's signature gauntlet ability. Unlike base Deep Rock Galactic, weapons and most equipment are shared across classes and found during a run.

Start with the class page, then follow internal links to the matching gauntlet, recommended weapons, and seed build page for the full loadout context.

How to pick a class

Pick Guardian when the team needs a stable hold point, safer revives, and a way to turn dangerous rooms into manageable lanes.

Pick Falconer or Spotter when the squad already has survivability and wants more target pressure, debuffs, or autonomous damage.

Pick Slicer when teammates can create safe burst windows. The class is strongest when dives are planned, not improvised.
