- The new Desert Eagle secondary weapon, a large-caliber pistol that packs tremendous stopping power when you need it most.
- A new set of exciting mutators for Challenge Mode and Challenge Horde Mode. Equip all auto-turrets with explosive ammo (but with reduced lifespan), embrace the Wild West theme by forcing everyone to use repeating rifles and revolvers, and more!
