A new feature that can be enabled to increase difficulty (and reward) on any Campaign or Survival map. This can be used with or without Hardcore.

There are currently no enemies that are resistant or immune to Fusion.

A new Rift Mode adds stronger enemies which are not just cosmetically different but also boast more health, higher damage and some nasty tricks.
