How to unlock the Time Well Spent achievement in Deep Rock Galactic - Definitive Guide

This achievement can be done solo on the Spacerig, but will go faster if done co-op.

There are 25 barrels located around the Spacerig that you will need to maneuver into the Drop Pod. Select any mission from the Mission Select station in order to open the Drop Pod doors. As the host, a countdown timer will start whenever you enter the Drop Pod so be careful. If you enter/exit too many times quickly, the game will lock you in the Drop Pod and force start the mission. If in co-op, it is best to have a non-host player do all of the barrel maneuvering inside the Drop Pod.

All barrels on the first floor can be kicked towards the bottom of the Drop Pod stairs. Avoid crowding the bottom of the stairs with multiple barrels and only do one at a time. With some practice, you can kick a barrel 2-4 times while it is in the air in order to get it up the stairs. Then kick the barrel up the ramp and into the Drop Pod. To save space, I recommend getting the first 4 barrels into the Drop Pod seats. This will get you:

Then, move onto the 2nd floor. You can try dropping these barrels directly onto the Drop Pod ramp, but this will run the risk of dropping the barrels into the pit below the Drop Pod. If this happens, it can be fixed and will be covered later in this guide. Otherwise, just play it safe and just get the barrels somewhere on the first floor so you can kick them up the stairs. Repeat this process for the 3rd floor.

If some of the barrels do fall into the pit below the Drop Pod, you can kick them up and over the 3 pipes and then under the bridge (towards the direction of the big glass window and the Deep Dive terminal). On the far side of the bridge there is a hole on the left and right where barrels may become trapped, so try to kick them straight forward. You can then kick them right towards the Deep Dive terminal and back onto the first floor. If one of the barrels gets stuck in one of the holes by the bridge and you are having trouble getting it out, press the "Gravity Recalibration" button on the 2nd floor. This will make all of the barrels float upward and you should be able to dislodge it. Be sure to check on the barrels you already have in the Drop Pod as they may have shifted during recalibration.

The barrel locations are listed below for reference:

1st floor:
- 2 barrels to the right of the "Drone Modification" terminal
- 3 barrels to the right of the stairs leading into the Drop Pod
- 1 barrel on the walkway behind the large green panels of the Shop
- 4 barrels to the right of the Jukebox
- 3 barrels to the right of the Deep Dive terminal

2nd floor:
- 1 barrel to the left of the Gravity Recalibration button
- 1 green barrel on the slightly raised catwalk to the left of the Gravity Recalibration button*
- 1 barrel at the top of the elevator next to the tunnel and backside of the Drop Pod
- 6 barrels in the open area directly above the Mission Select station

3rd floor (take the elevator on the 2nd floor to the "Top Hangar". This is to the left of the 2nd floor door to the Memorial Hall):
- 2 barrels to the right when you first step out onto the catwalk
- 1 barrel at the top of the stairs on the right side of the catwalk

*(all barrels are blue colored except where noted)

Once you have earned the achievement do not try to start a mission with the barrels inside the drop pod because your game will definitely glitch out and put you into an endless loading screen as it did with mine.

Good to know that this is a possibility. I was able to successfully start a solo mission after doing this achievement so it's not a guarenteed crash though.

I've attempted this twice, and both times had a barrel completely disappear on me. I was on the 25th one and it just vanished when I was trying to kick it up the stairs. Glitchy!

Done this a few days ago. It is still glitchy. It is important that you don't enter the ship at any point because if you move 1 barrel it can have a ripple effect on the rest of them causing a despawn or worse, crash. Took me 3 trys because a barrel kept going awall.

Maybe they've fixed it? No issues for me today.

This game stopped unlocking achievements for me for some reason. I did this with a friend and he got the achievement and I didn't. I went for two other achievements after this and they didn't unlock for me either. Anyone else have this happen to them?

What absolutely stoopid achievements!
First, it has nothing to do with mining or exploring. Just goofing around in the hub.
Secondly, and lastly, you need another player to assist, as I play solo 98% of the time.
So dumb.

. 30 Mar 2022.
. Achievement unlocked!
After my little rant almost a year ago, I decided tonight to attempt this again, solo. Took me almost a whole episode of the show ALL OF US ARE DEAD to get all 25 barrels in the pod. Only 1 fell below, and I extracted it over the pipes, as the guide suggests.

11th thumbs up for me. Well written and concise guide with all needed information.

This achievement put my gamerscore at 402,799.

We are all very happy you shared all of that information E vee dub!

And since the length of an episode of the show "All of us are dead" is an internationally recognized way of measuring time, we now have a great estimate on how long this activity will take.

E vee dub, you are truly a loser no one would want to be around. Cried over an simple achievement, came back to brag about gamerscore. What a nerd.

This achievement put my gamer score at 1, 372, 292 btw

It's still glitched with barrels sometimes disappearing, very frustrating.

JAN 2024 UPDATE: I just got this achievement with a friend (first try, no disappearing barrels for us). It seems they removed the two barrels near Bosco but the achievement will still pop without them. Another tip that might be obvious, but remap your kick to the right bumper on controller, or left mouse click to make it easier.

You need to throw 25 barrels into the capsule.
There are 13 barrels around the capsule, 9 barrels on the floor above and 3 at the very top.
If the barrel fell down under the drill, then it can be pulled out from there by turning off gravity, or by pushing it over an obstacle with protruding pipes that leads to the window.

I recommend changing the controls while processing the barrels, namely: put the kick on another key instead of the square, for example . Then kicking the barrel at the same time as manipulating the stick will be much more convenient.

You need to put all the barrels (25 of them) from the station into the dive capsule, and at the same time you will get “ The A-Team ”. A list of all barrels with locations can be found in the tooltip for " Foreign Objects In The Launch Bay ".
The most difficult thing is to throw the barrel onto the stairs of the bridge to the capsule; this will require training. If you drop the barrel down to the airlock, it's okay, you can go down there and kick the barrel to the observation window (don't try to lift it up the stairs, it's too high).
