The early access build of Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core offers five different Reclaimers, and they act as the classes. Each class (or Reclaimer) has unique abilities, strengths, and weaknesses.

There’s no bad Reclaimer, but some of them already feel a tad overpowered.

Complete Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core Reclaimers class tier list.
So, we have five different classes available to pick from. The results below are based on the full-game experience, but it also takes the public test into account. I have used three different tiers to separate the available Reclaimers.
- S-tier classes/Reclaimers are pretty much the best possible choices. They’re easy to use, have a lot of damage potential, and raise your chances of success.
- A-tier classes are close (to S-tier), but you’ll need to spend a bit of time learning the basics.
- B-tier classes aren’t bad, but they have a steep learning curve.
S-tier
- Guardian: Survivability seems to be a slight issue for many, and that’s where this class comes in. Guardian is all about survival for yourself and your allies, and complements all other Reclaimers. Concussive Barrage allows you to damage and stun enemies, while Repulsion Zone helps repulse enemies. Armor Beacon is one of my favorite class skills as it replenishes Armor to damaged allies. You no longer need to depend on finding supply caches to get ammo, and the recharge rate is quite fast. Overall, it’s a great choice for solo and team play alike.
- Slicer: This is the best offense class in the current build of the game. He can use his sword to generate a horizontal slice that does 560 damage, making it one of the best AoE abilities. He can further use his Blitz as an escape route that defies gravity. Then there’s the Shield Belt that adds a layer of protection for himself and all allies against ranged attacks. The healthy balance of offense and self-care makes Slicer an extremely powerful class.
A-tier
- Spotter: The Spotter can be considered as B-tier if you’re going solo. In teamplay, however, he has an important role to play. His Crit Dart has three charges. You can use them to mark enemies that raise the Crit Chance by +100% against them, or you can create a zone. All enemies trapped within the zone will have higher chances to take crit damage. The Sonar Radar is great to scan the map for resources, allies, and enemies, while Ranger’s Pocket provides the team with extra supplies. Overall, the Spotter is the best support class in the game.
- Falconer: This is arguably an S-tier class if you’re playing solo since you’ve help from your drone. It can search for nearby enemies close to the marked location and do damage. The Thunder Rod creates a zone that does +100% Electric damage to enemies within the radius. The Remote Drone Revive allows your Shock Drone to revive a fallen teammate. Overall, it’s a decent class to master.
B-tier
- Retcon: This is the most complex class to master, as the Rewind Time ability takes a lot of learning. Once you do so, you can undo damage, lost ammo, and more by effectively using the ability. The Rage skill also requires you to take damage if you want to maximize it. The Contingency Plan allows you to have a last glory by providing a revival with full armor and health. All things considered, the Retcon is a complex class that can do well in the hands of experienced players.
