New Virus Strains

Virus strains represent an additional injection of difficulty into the already familiar environments. Whenever you play Virus Strains, you choose how many there will be. But as to what they will do? That is up to chance. And now there are several new ways that Virus Strains can turn out:

  • Mixed virus: This area may contain enemies from all the areas. Maybe those Flipbugs got lost.

  • Overgrown viruses: Powerful enemies may now appear in Cell Extraction rooms. Don't get too relaxed!

  • Fragile bullets: Most bullets may break when deflecting them. But they'll still hurt if you don't!

  • Vengeful virus: Some enemies may shoot a bullet at you on death. Best be ready for these little final gifts.

New Anomalies

Certain rooms on your playthrough may be affected by anomalies, and there are now several more that you can come across while exploring!

  • Lights off: Reduces vision.

  • Rockets: From time to time, rockets will appear and chase you.

  • Poisonous ground: Poison puddles appear around the room from time to time.

  • Larvae swarm: Enemies spawn a Larvae when they die.

We hope you are excited to experience all that the update has to offer! Do you have favorite anomalies and virus strains? Perhaps ones you just love to hate? Let us know in the comments!
