v2.2.0

Release Date

  • 2026-07-01

Main Theme

  • Zombie Mode, Run Mutator System, and New Equipment: This major version adds a brand-new Roguelite survival mode, five new melee weapons, two new equipment sets, and a per-run mutator system that applies random modifiers every run. Several impactful bugs have also been fixed.

Detailed Update Log

New: Zombie Mode (Doomsday Zombie Survival)

A full Roguelite survival mode joins the mod. Buy a "Zombie Tide Invitation" from the base merchant to enter — you go in empty-handed and face endless waves of zombies.

  • Core loop: Preparation → Combat Wave → Settlement → Reward Selection → repeat
  • Every 5th wave is a Boss Wave (5 boss types: Titan / Hunter / Splitter / Shielder / Corruptor)
  • Three enemy tiers (Normal / Special / Elite) with 12 Elite affixes
  • Pollution system: difficulty escalates as you progress — enemy HP, damage, and elite/special rates all increase
  • Purification Points system: earn by killing zombies, spend at the supply terminal, cash out 1:1 on successful extraction
  • 70+ reward types (stats / ballistic mods / triggers / mutators / fortifications / temporary NPCs / contracts / insurance…)
  • Safe-zone supply terminal spawns each preparation phase with nurse and merchant services
  • Extraction opportunity appears after each boss wave — leave anytime with your purification earnings
  • Entry items: Zombie Tide Invitation (entry ticket) + Zombie Tide Beacon (optional: skip prep countdown)

See the dedicated "Zombie Mode" wiki page for full rules.


New: Run Mutator System

Before each run starts, 1–3 random mutators are drawn from a pool of 15 (default 2) and applied immediately for the entire run.

  • Applies to: Standard BossRush, Infinite Hell, From Scratch, Faction War, Blood Hunt (Zombie Mode excluded)
  • Three categories: ⚔ Enemy Buff (7) / ★ Player Boon (2) / ☠ Environment Rule (6)
  • On by default; disable via enableMutators config
  • Count adjustable via mutatorCount (1–3)

Pool includes: Swift Storm / Iron Fortress / Bullet Rain / Giants / Ratswarm / Bloodhounds / Vicious / Fleet Footed / Sharpshooter / Hemorrhage / Festering Wounds / Undying / Glass Cannon / Lifesteal / Volatile Remains.

See the dedicated "Mutator System" wiki page for full effect details.

Fixes

  • Fixed: Dragon King's "Guardian Sacrifice" second-life and Dragon Descendant's one-time revive now trigger correctly; no longer bypassed by lethal damage.
  • Fixed: Reforge screen stat comparison values displaying blank or incorrect numbers.
  • Fixed: Vending machine UI crash on open (caused by deferred item injection caching issue; affected tickets, invitations, and similar items).
  • Fixed: Achievement progress no longer resets on save load; boss kill counts no longer double-counted.
  • Fixed: Courier deposit service now returns the correct item snapshot; deposited items no longer lost or misdelivered on retrieval.

Improvements

  • Performance: Noticeably reduced stutter during map transitions and entry — integration init is now spread across frames, localization and reflection results are cached, death-frame serialization no longer blocks the main thread.
  • Improvement: Zombie Mode in-run rewards greatly expanded; temporary NPCs (merchant, nurse, goblin, courier) can now be summoned via reward selection options.
