How to unlock the Barrel Rider achievement in Deep Rock Galactic - Definitive Guide

Straight after the introduction mission, when you enter the hub, kick over any of the blue barrels and proceed to jump up on one and stay on it.

It took me a few attempts as the physics launches you about but there’s plenty of them around.

There’s probably an easier way but this worked for me

Agreed, this achievement is very janky as the barrels launch you everywhere and are VERY hard to stay on. My method was to pile a whole bunch of them into a corner, then jump on the pile. Even doing this it took me several tries.

This achievement is obtained in the hub area. The best method I found was to kick a barrel in the corner of the forge computer. This should get the barrel stuck and allow your whole team to get it.

I joined a friend's game, and tried to get the achievement. I managed to stand on a barrel for more than 3 seconds. It popped only after I left his game and was in my own game. Jumped on a barrel (not even 3 seconds) and then it registered and popped.

A good spot is across the Abyss Bar in the Space Rig, in the corner to the right of the Jukebox (facing the Jukebox). There are some chairs and a table. You can squeeze/kick a barrel in between the gap, and try to jump on it, without all too much glitching-barrel-action.

Another good option is kicking a barrel in the drop pod (it’s also another achievement which requires 4 barrels in the 4 seats). Once the barrel is in the seat, its way more easier to stand on it.

Any Blue, Green, Or Yellow Barrel On The Space Rig (Your Lobby) Will Do.

The Games Physics Break When You Try To Stand On A Barrel, And Using The Directions Buttons Can Keep You On For A Few Seconds If You Are Lucky.

This Usually Ends With You Falling Off Onto The Floor, The Barrel Flying Across The Room, Or You Flying Across The Room, Which Is Hilarious.


Jam A Barrel Into A Corner, Or Relentlessly Try To Jump Into Piles Of Three Of Them, And The Achievement Should Be Yours In No Time.


Goodluck!

Im not sure if the barrels are intentionally as glitchy as they are or if the devs just haven't gotten around to fixing them because theyve been as touchy as they are since they were put in the game during early access. What I did was I gathered the first three barrels together and jumped into them and hoped that I'd stick to one for 3 seconds. There's not much else you can do as you'll find out right away if you jump on one they immediately want to bounce you off.

The barrel quickly flies out from under your feet, as if it was malfunctioning.
I received the trophy when I placed a barrel against the wall at an angle and held on to it for about 5 seconds, after which I received the trophy.
This slope can be found to the left of the "Deep Drives" table, which is located to the left of the bar.
In fact, there is glass further from the floor, which is located just below the floor, this is the place we need.
We throw the barrel onto the glass to the left of the machine and pin it lying against the wall of the platform, and then jump onto the barrel.

I suppose you can squeeze the barrel between the wall and the window frame and jump on it.
At the same time, the screen twitches, as if you are spinning on a barrel, but the barrel does not jump out from under your feet.
I did it the first way, and noticed this only after.

I kicked a barrel between two objects while standing, jumped from the top and after 3 seconds a trophy fell out, an indicator that you are doing everything correctly, the screen twitches, it means you are on a barrel and the trophy will soon fall out.

This is not the barrel that needs to be thrown into the ring, but one of the blue barrels that are placed in different parts of the station. The difficulty is that the game engine keeps throwing you off the barrel, but there is a trick: collect several barrels with kicks, making a “raft”, and jump into its center, trying to hold on. With proper luck, everything will work out the first time.
