Abyss Bar

— Abyss Bar Slogan

The **Abyss Bar** is a large section on the main floor of the Space Rig. Here you can have a drink with your fellow dwarves, dance to the tunes on the Jukebox or take rounds trying to kick barrels into the Barrel Hoop.

## The Bar

At the Bar, you can order a drink from the robot bartender Lloyd. A price list is visible on the top left corner of the bar and when talking to Lloyd.

Starting from Rank 3, players are able to purchase Beers from the Abyss Bar. Depending on the potency of the drink and how many are consumed, the player's character may become intoxicated. The effects of intoxication include borders of the screen becoming a wavy double-image, the player's view will wobble around randomly and the player's character will move in random directions of their own accord. These effects will become more extreme if the player drinks more Beer, and if too much Beer is consumed in a short amount of time, the player's character will pass out drunk. If alone the player will respawn in the Infirmary, though if other players are present they will need to be revived - similar to losing all of one's health in a Mission. Either way, the player will wake up sober.

It is possible to enter a Mission while intoxicated, though there is no incentive for doing so besides bragging rights. You will not receive a Hazard Bonus for completing a Mission while drunk.

On the bar's counter players can see a small green tipping device called TIP-C (nicknamed "Tipsy"), where they may pay 5 credits to leave a tip. This has no effect besides triggering a random dwarf voiceline thanking Lloyd. There is additionally a small bobblehead dwarf on the counter that players can interact with to slap around.

**Players who suffer motion sickness are advised to avoid drinking too much, as the effects of being drunk can cause dizziness and nausea. Make sure to drink Leaf Lover's Special to "cure" the effects of intoxication.**

### Lloyd

Lloyd the robotic bartender seems to be an all-purpose drone similar to Bosco, he wears a hat and bow tie, and is connected to barrels of ale in the ceiling.

By approaching and interacting with Lloyd, he projects a list of the available drinks with descriptions and price tags for you to order from. Upon ordering, as many tankards as there are players in the lobby will emerge, quickly being filled by Lloyd. Then each player can grab a tankard, give a salute and drink.

If the player cannot afford, or hasn't reached the rank requirement to purchase a drink, Lloyd will deny them service.

### Available drinks

Craftable and special beers will require brewing materials found in missions in the form of collectible plants:  Barley Bulb,  Yeast Cone,  Malt Star and  Starch Nut.

#### Holiday Beer

These drinks are only available on certain events and holidays.

#### Today's Special

These **8** drinks provide the dwarves with a buff once consumed. This buff will last for your entire next mission, but is lost if you change lobbies or restart the game. Only one of them is sold at a time. The special drink is selected randomly each time the host loads into the space rig. Buffs can not be stacked.

**Beer License** required to be paid first to unlock the whole selection:  1,000 Credits,  5 Barley Bulb,  10 Yeast Cone,  10 Malt Star,  15 Starch Nut.

**Note:** The effect from the **Pots O' Gold** only applies to gold mined with a Pickaxe. Gold detached from the walls by Bosco, environmental effects or with a weapon will not be doubled.

#### Craft(able) Beer

These **14** beers provide fun interactions and effects only in the Space Rig.

* Each of the beers below become available for purchase once you have achieved its required  player rank.
* Licenses require paying a sum of  credits, Yeast Cone,  Malt Star, and  Starch Nut.

**Total Beer License Cost**:  10,300 Credits,  160 Yeast Cone,  174 Malt Star,  267 Starch Nut

#### Bonus Drink

Drinks that can only be ordered by owners of the Supporter Upgrade DLC.

## Potency

The potency of the drink will affect the intoxication level of the player, adding to the total, causing different effects after passing certain thresholds. The intoxication level goes down by 1% every 24 seconds.

The effects of intoxication slowly become worse and worse as the player's tolerance is used up. These effect happen roughly at these points:

 100%+ | Erratic movement becomes sharp, player passes out shortly after.

## The Barrel Hoop

The Barrel Hoop mini-game is located at the back of the Abyss Bar. Players stand behind a barrel which is dispensed from above, and attempt to kick the barrel into a moving hoop that incinerates barrels, beer mugs and dwarves that pass through it. Scores can be reset via the red button to the right of the game. The player will die if they jump into the incinerator hoop, only to respawn in the medbay afterwards. If the player dies while intoxicated, they will receive an achievement.

* The Barrel Hoop itself and counter
* The Barrel Hoop bay

### Scoring and point values

The game consists of four phases, with the first phase active while no barrels have been passed through the hoop.

Upon entry of a barrel, points will be awarded according to the table below.

If the hoop bounces off of the left side twice without a barrel being scored, the phase is reset to 1. Missing a barrel also resets the phase to 1.

If a barrel passes through the hoop within the cycle (from left to right to left), the game will progress to the next phase when the hoop touches the left side, capping out at Phase 4 where the point values are multiplied by 4.

The speed of the hoop can change whenever it touches the left side.

First phase has a 1x point modifier, Second phase 2x, Third phase 3x, and 4th phase 4x.
Phases are indicated by the size of the text on the scoreboard located above the moving hoop, although the text size does not increase between phases 3 and 4.

## Jetty Boot

Jetty Boot is an arcade machine mini-game located right behind Lloyd, and to the left of the Barrel Hoop mini-game. It costs  5 to play. The gameplay of Jetty Boot is flappy bird

* A Jet Module Crate of which Jetty Boot is inspired by

## Employee of the Month Screen

Just above and behind the Jukebox is the Employee of the Month Screen.

It shows the current name and profile picture of the Employee of the Month on the Deep Rock Galactic Discord, along with the Discord's current online and total users.

It also randomly shows one of 5 flavor texts:

* Managed to mine 10000 Nitra without using a pickaxe.
* Got a broken back after carrying the entire mission on the shoulders.
* Won a drinking contest against Bosco.
* Forgot to bring ammo to a mission. Highest kill count anyway.
* Secretly knows what the error cube is for. Won't tell anyone.

## The Jukebox

The Jukebox contains a wide variety of songs from many different genres that are literally irresistible to dance to. Whenever a song is playing and you are within range, you cannot fight the urge to dance! Seriously, you can't! Rumor has it the fifth dwarf tried to fight it, and well we can see where he is now. Or, well, where he isn't.

Cost  2 per use.

## Trivia

 "Opening Security Valves..."

 "Pasteurising...."

 "Reticulating Splines..."

 "Convincing Management..."

* The Abyss Bar has references to other media.
	+ Slayer Stout is a reference to Warhammer Fantasy's Dwarf Slayers.
	+ Arkenstout and Underhill Deluxe are references to J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit.
	+ For Underhill Deluxe, the original quote from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit is: "In a hole in a ground, there lived a Hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole filled with the ends of worms and a oozy smell. It was a hobbit hole.".
	+ Blackreach Blonde is a reference to Skyrim's Blackreach, a dwarven stronghold with mushrooms.
	+ Flintlocke's Delight is a reference to Fargo Flintlocke, a dwarf in World of Warcraft notorious for causing explosions.
	+ Glyphid Slammer's description is most likely a reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
	+ Lloyd the Bartender is most likely a reference to Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, which features a bartender of the same name.
	+ The developers have mentioned on the Deep Rock Galactic Discord that Morkite is an actual ingredient in Dark Morkite beer.
	+ Leaf Lovers special is speculated to be made by elves. In mythology, Elves tend to love nature, hence the name leaf lovers. On occasion, Dwarves will say "Pointy eared leaf lover". Elves are known for their pointy ears. To top it off, the dwarves often speak negatively about "Pointy Eared Leaf Lovers". In the recent Fantasy genre, Dwarves and Elves tend to be rivals or enemies.
	+ Burning love is a reference to the Elvis Presley song of the same name.
	+ The random quote "Reticulating Splines..." is a running gag during loading and/or computing processes that originated in Maxis' SimCity 2000 and has since been widely used in numerous games.

* Best Wurst Beer is the first holiday beer to be released for Oktoberfest 2022. It is the only beer with a unique animation where the dwarf would dip and stir the sausage wurst inside the beer before eating it.
	+ Its name may also be a pun which can be read as 'Best *Worst* Beer'.
* Drinking a Blacklock Lager, an Oily Oaf, and a Gutwrecker should put you at 99%, 1% short of passing out, but if less than 24 seconds pass from the first to the last drink, you still pass out, more than that and you do not.
* Sometimes the corporate issue drinks are free.
