Summary
This week’s update delivers major gameplay improvements, UI upgrades, and expanded content across multiple systems.
Highlights include new edge pan camera controls, 22 new Burster upgrades and 11 new Bulker upgrades, the addition of the Mini Burster agent, and the unlocking of both Bulker and Burster DNA upgrade trees (left side of the Bulker tree only, right side is placeholder).
Players can now choose Blessings at the start of every Resistance level, and every World Map level guarantees a reward.
We’ve also introduced a Stats HUD for units, Inventory tracking on the World Map, and complete reworks of both the Zombie and Patient Zero DNA trees.
Finally, losing a Resistance tier will now reset progress only within that tier instead of clearing all progress.
