In our most recent update one of the newest additions to Deflector are brand new evolutions. For those of you that need a refresher - these are upgrades unique to each bioshell and acquired by defeating Great Viruses, the mid-bosses of Deflector's biomes.

Today we're taking a closer look at the brand new evolutions! There's one for each bioshell and each has to be unlocked through a challenge before you can acquire it. Let's dive in!


Bioshell: Eradicator
Evolution name: Boomerang Orbit
Evolution function: Every consecutive deflection of the boomerang generates a boomerang that will orbit around you. They are lost when retrieving the boomerang.
Required challenge: As Eradicator, kill 10 enemies with your boomerang before retrieving it.
This evolution is a real treat for the dedicated boomerang-bouncer which is reflected both in its challenge and in its function! Get those kills without ever catching your boomerang!


Bioshell: Slasher
Evolution name: Combo Slash
Evolution function: Defeating an enemy with Radial Slash will release a Radial Slash at the enemy's position.
Required challenge: As Slasher, complete 3 survival rooms without dashing nor receiving damage in a single game.
Radial Slash kills will now make enemies explode into an additional Radial Slash! Can you handle the challenge to unlock this powerful evolution?


Bioshell: Gunslinger
Evolution name: Wall Burst
Evolution function: No longer shoot bullets while holding the wall, but release a burst.
Required challenge: As Gunslinger, kill 100 enemies with bullets deflected with your wall.
Project the entirety of your defensive wall at the enemy whenever you fire your weapon with it raised! Of course weaponizing your defenses in this way will require you to first prove you can do it by deflecting!


Bioshell: Spark
Evolution name: Orb Blast
Evolution function: Deflected orbs release a wave when hitting an enemy.
Required challenge: As Spark, kill 10 enemies with a single use of the active.
Spark's active ability packs a punch. This evolution's unlock condition challenges you to prove it by burning through a crowd of enemies in a single use! And in return you'll unlock the evolution to add more of a punch to your orbs as well.


Bioshell: Lightfist
Evolution name: Superfist
Evolution function: Releasing deflect at full charge fires a piercing fist.
Required challenge: As Lightfist, kill 6 enemies with a single double punch of the active ability.
You might want to group up your enemies before trying that challenge. Your reward? Lightfist's fully charged fist becomes a full high-flying piercing projectile!


Bioshell: Corrupted
Evolution name: Multiple Shards
Evolution function: Release two additional Crystals Shard lines when attacking.
Required challenge: As Corrupted, absorb 10 bullets with a single absorb.
That's one challenge for the specimen with a voracious appetite. Fed on enemy projectiles the Corrupted will be able to evolve to release three rows of crystalline shards with every attack!
