Brotato: Balance of DLC Is Broken (Workarounds)
Short answer
Suggested fix (unconfirmed): Scale back the mutation mechanic and reduce the stats and weapon scaling provided by tech. Disable the DLC content if
Why it happens
The Downloadable Content makes the game significantly too easy. Specifically, the mutation mechanic is overpowered, and the stats and weapon scaling provided by technology are too high, allowing players to reach extremely high waves like wave 60 on Danger 5.
How to fix it
- Disable the Downloadable Content entirely in your game options or platform menu to restore the original balance.

- Limit your reliance on stats and weapon scaling provided by technology.
If it still doesn't work
- Continue playing without the Downloadable Content enabled until official balance adjustments are released.
- Restrict yourself from using specific overpowered items and mechanics, such as the time shifter, shuriken, mech mutation, and curse combinations, during your runs.

By wave 30 or so, I…
