Update 2026.5.6

New Legendary Weaponry

We’ve added 4 brand-new offensive abilities that can be unlocked via the Skill Tree for 50 Upgrade Points each. Once unlocked, these can be found during your runs:

  • Sequax: Fires intelligent projectiles that automatically track down the nearest threat.

  • Resilio: Unleashes "bouncy" bullets that ricochet off walls and objects until their duration ends.

  • Penetro: A high-skill weapon that charges a laser in place before releasing a massive, penetrating beam.

  • Mola: Spawns massive, stationary spheres. While they don't move on their own, they can be pushed around the arena as heavy physical obstacles.

The Reward Orb System

Bosses have leveled up their loot! The Augment Orb has been replaced by the Reward Orb:

  • Strategic ChoiceUpon opening, you can now choose to swap your current weapon for any of the new abilities you've unlocked in the Skill Tree.
  • Classic BackupIf you prefer your current build or haven't unlocked new weapons yet, you can still choose a standard Augment as your reward.

Physics & Survival Overhaul

  • Stable ObjectsWe have disabled angular velocity for all physical objects. This makes objects feel "stiffer" and significantly reduces unpredictable physics behavior, giving you more control over the chaos.
  • The Immortal Loop: Player Grace Periods are now refreshable! If you take damage while the period is active, the timer resets. With the right timing, you can maintain a state of "practical immortality" during the most intense waves.

  • Smart Health Scaling: Picking up a Max Health augment now dynamically adjusts your current health based on your percentage of the total pool, ensuring you get the full benefit immediately.

Social & HUD

  • Passive Flex: Your global leaderboard rank is now displayed next to your name in the top-left player list. Show your teammates exactly who they are playing with!
