Mycopunk New Release Offers Free Content and Major Gameplay Enhancements

February 13, 2026

Mycopunk, the hyper‑customizable, mission‑based looter shooter that pits players against fungal aliens, launches a substantial new update. The patch adds a free upgrade system, a brand‑new Photon Disc Grenade, a polar map area called Ice Floes Region, and a host of quality‑of‑life improvements and bug fixes.

Key Highlights

Health Highlighting: Looking at an enemy part now displays a health‑bar overlay; shooting an immune enemy highlights its attached immunity pixie.
Titles: Player titles are automatically selected from the set of equipped employee upgrades.
Upgrades Are Free: Default resource costs for upgrades have been removed, allowing unlimited upgrade unlocking without grind.
Grenade Auto‑Fire: Holding the grenade key automatically fires Photon Discs; with the “hold‑grenade” upgrade you can press‑and‑hold after firing a disc to keep auto‑firing.

New Features

Photon Disc Grenade: An experimental ordnance that rolls across the floor, cutting a saw‑like path and releasing waves of energy. Multiple charges can be stored.
Ice Floes Region: A new polar map area featuring ice, spilled liquid Saxonite, and fungal hazards.
Free Upgrade System: All upgrades can now be equipped without spending in‑game resources.
Grenade Input Changes: Default melee bound to press‑right‑stick; L1 tap throws a grenade on controllers; all bindings are fully re‑bindable in settings.
DMLR Turbocharges: Added turbo‑charge upgrades for DMLR exotic weapons.
Arc Lightning: Lightning attacks now have a chance to arc to an additional target.
Autocycler: Damage increased; upgrade size reduced by one cell; new HUD element shows mode‑switch timing; laser‑battery indicator replaced.
Hot Swap: Laser damage increased; laser recharge 50 % faster; upgrade size reduced by one cell; auto‑switch to laser mode after final DMR shot.
Voltaic Battery: First explosion deals more damage; projectile travels farther; thrown batteries highlighted when distant; over‑heat sound when laser charge is depleted; hit VFX no longer lags.
Upgrade Order Logic: Upgrades now apply in the order they were equipped rather than by instance ID.
Combustive Rounds: Renamed from Explosive Bullets; non‑elemental grenades trigger “bee” explosions; Swarm Launcher bullets from Crop Duster are quieter.
Ralph’s Conundrum: Lead Flinger’s element forces fire when equipped if current element isn’t fire or acid.
Inverted Controls: Scrapper’s Upside‑Down upgrade now correctly inverts controls.
Structural Survey Rework: Increases damage dealt to enemy limbs.
Ammo Processor: Can now refund ammo reserves at a reduced rate when the magazine is full.
Ambient & Music Updates: New music for the Ouroboros amalgamation and improved ambient sounds across all levels.
Hub Ammo Cart: Refills grenade charge.
Volume Slider: Added for the in‑game radio.
Rotation Binding UI: Shows max rotatable rarity with color coding.
