FEATURES

Unlockables
The first part of meta progression is live! You can see a list of global unlockables with descriptions and the corresponding achievements. The unlockables include:

• Bufferflies (They will spawn around the map and grant powerful buffs)
• A brandnew challenge that can be activated during the run (Succeed to get a reward)
• Mutations (global rewards for finishing the hardest content)
• Global XP nodes
• Heroes

The list of Unlockables will grow with every other update.

New damage type: Lightning

• Lightning damage always autoaims
• Lightning heroes will have a super low min damage but super high max damage value
• Added 6 lightning perks: Codex Of Thunder, Discharge, Free Energy, High Voltage, Overload, Storm Strike

New Hero: Zikk the Stormcaller (Trait: Critting projectiles always chain. Has autoaim)

Nightmare changes
I tweaked Nightmare so it incrementally increases the difficulty in addition to the core Nightmare modifiers.

• Every higher difficulty now increases enemy HP by 10% and enemy spawn rates by 5%
• Removed the Enemy HP boost from Nightmare 5
• Nightmare 5 got a new mod: Bosses will duplicate every 30 seconds if you don’t kill them
• Enemies from Shadow Invasion (Nightmare 3) can now walk through other enemies.

More features
