Motion Twin’s roguelite action side-scroller Dead Cells has received a new update pertaining to The Bad Seed DLC. The Bestiary update adds six new enemies, 11 new affixes and two new items for players to mess around with (including the Crowbar from Half-Life). The update is free for all current DLC owners.

As for the new affixes, eight are normal and add Ice, Fire, Bleed or Poison, Grenades, Arrows and so on to active skills. The others are starred affixes with effects like extended duration on abilities, spreading oil and fire when a trap is destroyed, etc.
