Major Changes

  • Augmented Enemies thanks to Silverstrings:
    • For increased challenge, rare enemies with special abilities. See the Wiki for more details
    • (These screenshots were taken using the help of Serious Sam mode, and without helmets so you can see them better. The tough augs can’t get helmets because they don’t need them.)

  • Walton Ware mode: a game mode focused on quickly doing bingos and New Game+

    • Each round can be beaten in around 10 minutes or even less!
    • In order to make Walton Ware possible, we added these new options which it enables by default (you can also enable these individually on the Advanced page):
      • Random starting map
      • Bingo win at 1 line
      • Bingo Scale of 0% so all bingo goals are reduced to their lowest amount
      • Bingo Duration of 1 mission so it only selects events that can be done right away
      • 5 free spaces on the bingo board
    • We’re also now over 200 bingo events!
    • This is what a Walton Ware bingo board looks like
    • See the wiki for our full list of game modes.
  • New Speedrun mode: speedrun with fewer resets while still being able to enjoy higher difficulties.

    • Reduces randomization range for skill costs and strengths
    • Uses the same doors rules as Normal difficulty
    • Some tweaks to scoring to accommodate this such as doors rules having a bigger impact on your score
  • Crowd Control online and simulated together for the average streamer that doesn’t have many viewers

  • Fixes to various mirrored maps, so make sure to tell the installer to download the new mirrored maps!

  • Steam Deck fix for health display after waking up from sleep.

  • Autofill passwords even in Zero Rando mode, great for Steam Deck players!

  • We now prevent using lockpicks/multitools on doors/keypads you have the key/code for, great for people who don’t read!

  • New website Mods4Ever.com
