*** The Naturalist Update ***
BALL x PIT's final free update is The Naturalist Update, which brings a selection of new balls and passives to your favorite ball-bouncing roguelite, as well as two new characters.
The first new character, The Ballbearer, doubles down on firepower, literally, giving you twice the amount of Ball slots to build an arsenal – at the cost of giving up passive items completely. Then, on the flipside, there's The Hoary Hoarder, who only has room for two Ball slots, but makes up for it with double the amount of passive slots, letting powerful item Evolutions do the heavy lifting.
The Naturalist Update also adds 11 new Balls to the mix. Lightning Bug lights up the battlefield by spawning a firefly with every bounce, seeking out the strongest enemy before zapping nearby targets with a burst of lightning. Drill tears through enemies from behind, piercing straight through them and dealing extra damage along the way. Armageddon calls down a destructive meteor shower the moment it hits an enemy. You'll have to discover the rest yourself.
The Naturalist Update also features 5 new passives, including Platinum Dumbbell, which rewards clean shots, giving your balls a damage boost that lasts until they finally collide with the back wall. Inglorious Hammer keeps the pressure on after a bounce, causing balls that hit a wall or the back of the arena to immediately strike a random enemy for reduced damage. Remote Detonator turns every kill into another explosive opportunity.
All of this and more awaits you in The Naturalist Update!
