Update 14: Feature Creep Update 16: Winter has come
Before we head out for a couple of weeks of sorely needed summer vacation, we have cooked up a lovely little mutation to the game for you all!
— DRG Update Page

Update 15: Mutation Warning mainly introduces mutators to missions and includes some general improvements as well as vanity items. This update went live on July 3rd, 2018.

New Features[]

The new major content introduced in this update.

Mutator System[]

All missions now have a chance to have mutators attached. Warnings are negative and anomalies are either neutral or positive (there cannot be two warning or anomaly mutators on the same mission, only one of each). Missions with warnings add to the hazard bonus.

  • Warnings: Exploder Infestation, Shield Disruption, Mactera Plague and Cave Leech Clusters.
  • Anomalies: Gold Rush, Mineral Mania, Triple XP, Low Gravity, Critical Weakness, Golden Bugs and Rich Atmosphere.

Terrain Scanner[]

The ol’ flat Terrain Scanner has had an overhaul! The camera is now fully rotatable and zoomable, and you’ll have a much easier time finding where you need to go.
