A major new update has gone live for early access game Deep Rock Galactic which, among other things, adds a Lethal difficulty to the game.

In addition, new creatures – the Q’ronar Shellback, BET-C Battle M.U.L.E and Naedoctye Shocker – have been introduced to terrorize you in game.

The overall difficulty has been revamped for the game, which sees improved and better balanced spawn logic, mission specific enemy types, increases in attack, projectile, and movement speed, as well as increased damage from environmental hazards.

Other QoL updates see a new enemy health bar, additional biome content, a new mission readout bar, weapon mastery, tweaks, fixes, and mods.

Deep Rock Galactic is still in Early Access on PC and Xbox One. Update 21 is now available to download.
