About this guide

This is a fan site about one DLC: Brotato: Primal Dread, released on 2 November 2026. It is written and maintained by one person, and it exists because the first week of a content drop is when players need answers and when the least reliable information is being published.

The site is not affiliated with Blobfish Games or Evil Empire. It is not official and does not speak for the developers. Everything here is quoted from a public source or observed in the game.

Coverage

Primal Dread specifically, plus the parts of the base game that the DLC changes. That means:

• The Jungle map, its waves and its hazards.
• The Evolution stat, the Mecha and Mutation paths, and the drops that push them.
• The ten new characters, with the caveat that only four have published mechanics.
• The 1.2.0.0 free update and the 1.2.0.1 patch.
• The purchase decision: price, content, comparison with Abyssal Terrors.

It does not re-teach Brotato from zero. There are well-made resources for that, and a site that tries to cover both ends up shallow at both.

How the numbers are sourced

Four sources, in order of authority:

When those sources disagree, the newest official source wins, and the page says which build it was checked against. When none of them covers something, the page leaves it out rather than filling the gap with a guess. That is why, for example, the weapons page has no list of seventeen weapon names: the DLC does not publish one.

Out of scope

It does not invent numbers. No damage values, no drop tables, no win rates. If a figure is not published, it is not here.

It does not do tier lists. A ranked list of characters two days after launch is a vibes ranking. The best characters page uses roles and published mechanics instead.

It does not host files. No mods, no trainers, no downloads. Links go to Steam or nowhere.

It does not run ads for anything it has not disclosed. The privacy page lists the advertising partner and where the units appear.

How often it is updated

Pages carry a checked date, not a published date. A page that says "checked 2026-11-04" has been verified against the build current on that day.

The order of updates is by patch impact: when a patch lands, the pages it touches are re-checked first. After 1.2.0.1, that meant the patch page, the mutagen page and the Mecha page before anything else.

The site is written against build 1.2.0.1. If your game is on a later build, some numbers may have moved; the contact page is the fastest way to get a page corrected.

Why the site looks like this

The design borrows from the game rather than from a template: jungle greens and acid highlights sampled from the official screenshots, a chunky display face for headings, hard edges and thick borders instead of soft cards, and a wave-counter motif in the navigation and the facts strip.

The reasoning is simple. A guide site should feel like it belongs to the game it documents, not like a generic blog with a screenshot at the top. If you are jumping between the game and the guide mid-run, the less the two look alike, the more often you lose your place.

Corrections

Corrections are welcome and are the main reason the contact page exists. A message with the page URL and the number you think is wrong is enough; a source makes it faster. Corrections with a public source get priority, and the page's checked date moves when they land.

Where to go next

If you are new here, the guides index has every page in one table with three reading routes. If you want the DLC's content list first, start with what Primal Dread adds.

How a page gets its checked date

Every page ends with a line like "Checked 2026-11-04 against the 1.2.0.1 build". That line is not decorative. It is the date the page's claims were last compared against the sources above, and it moves when the page changes or when a patch makes the page worth re-reading.

Pages are re-checked in patch order rather than alphabetically: after 1.2.0.1, the patch page, the mutagen page and the Mecha page went first, because that patch touched mutagens, the Mecha shop UI and the word Mechanize.

How it is built

A static site generator, a folder of Markdown files and a JSON manifest. No database, no CMS, no login. The whole thing builds in under a second, which is why a correction can go from email to live in one deploy.

Git history holds the changes, and the checked dates tell you which build each page was verified against.

Since launch

The site was written on 4 November 2026, two days after the DLC and one day after the first patch. That timing shaped it: the 1.2.0.1 page was written before the character pages, and the weapons page was written around systems rather than names, because no weapon list exists to write.

If you are reading this weeks later, expect the pages with checked dates closest to today to be the most reliable, and expect the 1.2.0.1 page to become historical rather than current as soon as another patch lands.

Who writes it

One person, who plays the game, reads the patch notes, and has no access to the developers. The site's authority is entirely in its sources: when a page says 200 achievements, it is because the Steam achievement list says so, and you can check it in ten seconds.

If a page here ever asks you to trust an unsourced number, it has failed its own rule.
