Patch 21.2 - Progression Balancing & QoL Changes

Rocky Mayhem · published 3 Apr 2026, 12:44 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hi all,

It’s been a while since I looked at progression and after adding prestige badges, I’d like to try and make it all a bit easier while also making it a grind fest. Below is all the changes you need to know.

Game Branches

  • Main Branch has been updated to 21.2 from 21.11

  • Previous Update Branch has been updated to 20.3 from 8.5

  • Old Beta Branch is now out, with access to 5.0 from 2024.

  • Pre-Alpha Branch is now out, with access to 0.4 from 2020.

    (Beware that this is an extremely unstable old build, from prior to converting from GameMaker to Unity. Do not expect stable content.)

  • You now get rewarded a handful of levels half way and the rest on completion of the match

  • Defeating Volcanic Deity will now give a bonus of 10 levels

  • Evasion Time Trial: Rewards 25 levels with all crystals and completing it

  • Rescue Operations: Rewards 15 levels instead of 1 on completion of Level 3

  • Classic Normal: Rewards 25 levels instead of 10 - (Halfway: 10, End: 15)

  • Classic Mayhem: Rewards 50 levels instead of 30 - (Halfway: 10, End: 40)

  • Most Wanted Mayhem: Rewards 35 levels instead of 50 - (Halfway: 5, End: 30)

Money

  • Reality Shift entry cost reduced to $5,000 from $7,500

  • Rescue Operations: Rewards $1,250 instead of $250 on completion of Level 3

  • Launching a nuke in Most Wanted will now reward 2,500 points

  • Defeating either volcanic or frozen bosses will now reward a bonus 2,500 points

Extra Changes

  • Excavation: Excavator Drillship price lowered to $75,000 from $100,000

  • Excavation: Owning the drillship now visually lowers the excavation time

  • Excavation: Increased chances of getting $10,000 from Wealth Crystal by 3%

  • Excavation: Increased maximum prize from $100,000 to $125,000 from Wealth Crystal

  • Excavation: Re-organised notifications in lower left, so they do not overlap

  • Most Wanted: Removed Control Tooltips

  • Reality Shift: Updated on-screen text for objectives, and boss names so it is cleaner to look at
