Major Changes
- Black mucus on the ground now corrupts you, limiting your max health up to 50%. This can be healed with alcohol, high quality medical items, or with Dark Tonic
- Large amount of difficulty balance adjustments for singleplayer, generally making things more difficult in the late game to keep pace with all the powerful weapons you get now
- Secondary Classes all have all new SUPER abilities, different from the starter classes for each character!
- Hard Mode is now in the game. Enemies have 15% more health, bosses have 30% more health, more enemies show up sooner, and harder enemy types show up 5 days sooner in general spawns and 4 days sooner in waves. Bosses also get new attack patterns. HAVE FUN!
