Dave the Diver got Rover through the In the Jungle DLC collaboration, where Rover from Wuthering Waves appears as a hidden crossover guest rather than a story-character recruit. The reporting on the DLC describes it as a special collab unlock tied to that expansion’s content, not a base-game progression event.

Quick Scoop

The simplest way to say it is: Rover was added as part of a crossover event in the DLC, so players “get” Rover by playing the DLC content and meeting the collab’s unlock conditions.

What that means

  • Rover is not a standard Dave the Diver character.
  • The appearance is part of a promotional crossover.
  • The DLC frames it as a hidden or special collab reveal.

In plain English

If you saw people asking “how did Dave the Diver get Rover,” they’re usually talking about the crossover cameo in the Jungle DLC, where the character shows up through a collaboration setup rather than normal gameplay recruitment.

TL;DR

Rover was added to Dave the Diver via a DLC crossover, not through the main story or a permanent in-game system.
