</>Common questions about Speed Demon
What does Speed Demon do in Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor?
Speed Demon lets you dial your movement speed way past the normal cap in Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor. Set the multiplier and you zip around the cavern, kite big swarms, and reach objectives before the bugs even notice you. Drop it back to 1x any time to return to vanilla speed. It's great for relaxed exploration, for dodging late-wave chaos, and for the simple pleasure of feeling ridiculously fast. It installs in one click through the ProjectMods desktop app.
How far past the normal cap can I go?
Up to 5x your normal speed. Speed Demon is a multiplier rather than a fixed boost, so 2x makes Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor feel snappy and 5x makes the swarm look stationary. That's a deliberate range — some players want to shave the walking out of a run, others want to genuinely outrun everything on Hoxxes. You set where on that scale you sit, and you can move it mid-session as often as you like.
Does Speed Demon change mining, pickups, or anything else?
No — Speed Demon only touches how fast your dwarf moves in Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor. Drilling speed, pickup range, damage, and enemy behaviour are all untouched, which is why players often run it next to Power Driller and Loot Magnet rather than instead of them. Spawns and hazard tiers stay vanilla too. The run is the same run; you're just crossing it much faster than the game expected, which is exactly what makes kiting so much easier.
Can I go back to normal speed without removing the mod?
Yes. Set the multiplier to 1x and you're moving at stock Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor pace immediately — no restart, no leftovers. That makes Speed Demon easy to use situationally: crank it while crossing ground you've already cleared, drop it back when you want a fight to be a real fight. The multiplier is yours to move whenever you like, and moving it never affects anything else in the run.
Why would I use Speed Demon?
Kiting, mostly. Late waves in Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor turn into a positioning problem, and Speed Demon simply makes positioning easy — you outrun the pile-up instead of trying to thread it. It's also the most relaxed way to explore a biome you like, or to reach objectives while the bugs are still organising themselves. Pair it with Loot Magnet so the loot keeps up with you, or with Rock Solid if you want to be fast and unkillable at once.
What options does Speed Demon include?
Speed Multiplier
How many times faster than normal you move. 1 = off (vanilla speed).
