Level 4 Uber Weapons Update

Hey everyone! Quick update on the weapon combining system.

The Level 4 Arsenal

I've added 7 max-level weapons that you can't buy — you have to earn them by combining:

  • Piercer (AK47 Level 4) – Bullets penetrate infinitely and explode on kills

  • Grizzly Mayhem (Bear Cannon Level 4) – Every 5th shot spawns a MEGA bear

  • Reaper (Shotgun/Blunderbuster Level 4) – Executes the highest HP enemy below 30% health

  • Zeus's Wrath (Lightning Staff Level 4) – Chains to 5–8 enemies and stuns them

  • Phoenix Shuriken (Ninja Star Level 4) – Bounces up to 5 times and sets enemies on fire

  • Nova Cannon (Plasma Staff Level 4) – Fires 10–12 homing pellets at unique enemies

  • Reaper (Shotgun Level 4) – Executes highest HP enemy below 30% health

How it works

Buy the same weapon twice in the shop and they'll combine into the next level. Keep doing this until you hit Level 4. It's pretty satisfying when you finally get there — I added some gold highlighting and a special sound effect so you know you've hit the top tier.

These Level 4s are combine-only. You won't find them in the shop rotation, so you actually have to plan your purchases and work for them.

Small Fixes

  • Fixed bug where Overdrive would not activate

This is a first pass, and lots of iteration will happen to make these feel super overpowered when you finally get one.
