Grave Digger Mining and Construction

Learn how to open tunnels through mineable terrain and build defenses as a Rook. Follow the mining controls, then use the Construct Hammer to plan and complete fortifications.

    Equip the Rook's Construct Hammer, press Q to select a construct, and press the left mouse button to place its plan if you have enough Supplies.

Learn the objectives and victory conditions for Control, Assault, and Territory Push. Understand how Campaign links skirmishes and how Final Stand differs from the end-of-match Last Stand phase.

Grave Digger FAQ

Common questions about Grave/Digger, answered for new and returning players learning combat, loadouts, and progression, including console players.

Can I play Grave/Digger on console?

Consoles are enabled, but the developer says support is incomplete and some controls may not work. Mouse and keyboard are recommended; the official Trello documents console controls with a reminder to test your layout.

What base classes are available in Grave/Digger?

The official Trello lists seven base classes: Soldat, Rook, Mortician, Officer, Jaeger, Lancer, and Vanguard. They cover infantry and ammunition support, engineering, medicine, reconnaissance, traps, melee combat, and shield protection.

Can every class dig in Grave/Digger?

Yes. Classes have a Mining Pick, while Rook uses a Heavy Pickaxe. The standard Mining Pick breaks grey rock but cannot mine black rock. Hold the primary mouse button to mine, or both mouse buttons for precision mining; digging makes noise.

How do I shoot and steady my aim in Grave/Digger?

Hold the right mouse button to aim, wait for the aiming delay, then press the left mouse button to fire. While standing still and aiming, hold Shift to steady your aim. Use R to reload and T to check ammunition.

Why can I not equip every weapon combination in Grave/Digger?

Weapons use inventory weight. Most classes have two weight slots, while Soldat has three. Primary weapons cost two slots and secondary weapons cost one. The Survivalist perk adds one slot, allowing Soldat with Survivalist to carry two primary weapons.

How do I earn and spend Medals in Grave/Digger?

Medals buy weapons, perks, and cosmetics. The official Trello states that 200 experience earns one Medal. Experience comes from activities such as finishing rounds, combat, healing allies, capturing objectives, and supporting your team.

Do higher ranks make me stronger in Grave/Digger?

No. Ranks are titles earned through hours spent in the game and provide no gameplay or cosmetic benefits beyond the title. The Golden Empire and Royal Nation use different rank names but share the same playtime requirements.

Are there any verified active Grave/Digger codes?

As of October 4, 2026, no developer-confirmed promotional reward codes were found in the official sources checked. The command /restoredata restores Beta-period Hours and Kills; it is not a promotional code.

Is Grave/Digger still in its original Beta period?

The official Campaign Launch V.1 notes dated August 16, 2025 mark the game's full launch after Beta. The June 29, 2024 Roblox creation date is earlier and should not be confused with that launch date.
