The “Whack-a-Mole” update, which is been in beta testing, is available now for Dead Cells. Following the changes to Malaise in recent months, the update looks to tune the difficulty further while also adjusting the curve between different Boss Cells. New content includes three new Survival weapons and three Mutations.
There’s the Oven Axe whose final hit can be chained continuously; the Toothpick, a massive club that breaks over an enemy’s head if using a charged attack; the Tombstone which dooms nearby foes upon slaying an enemy with the final hit of its combo. New Mutations include No Mercy, which instantly kills foes under 15 percent health (7.5 health for bosses) and Point Blank for X percent of bonus damage on close range attacks. There’s also Barbed Tips which inflicts X damage per second depending on arrows stuck in a foe.
As for the Malaise changes, the movement speed of foes is no longer increased. Enemies also won’t spawn or convert into Elites for a few seconds after an Elite foe has been aggroed. Malaise also won’t be active in BC4 though enemies will still teleport to your position. For more details, check out the full patch notes here.
