Beasts of Bermuda adds Zupaysaurus and Favor Shop

Beasts of Bermuda has received the Guts & Glamour update, led by the addition of Zupaysaurus as a playable creature. This mid-sized dinosaur is designed around mobility, opportunistic play, and careful ability use rather than high base damage. Its toolkit rewards players who can adapt to the state of a fight.

The update also launches the Favor Shop, a system for earning and spending Favor in-game. Map work on Isla Titania, Steam Deck and Proton improvements, balance adjustments, quality-of-life changes, and a large set of fixes are included as well.

A scavenger with borrowed abilities

Zupaysaurus has an unusual diet: it benefits from rotten carcasses instead of fresh ones. Its Bile Spit ability can accelerate the decay of nearby carcasses at the cost of Stamina and Ability Power. Feeding on sufficiently rotten food fills the creature’s Plague resource. When Plague is enabled, its bites can increase the rate at which a target loses food and water. The effect can be reduced or negated by high Comfort, while charcoal removes Plague.

At night, groups of Zupaysaurus can apply Fearful Gaze to enemies when positioning and group requirements are met. The debuff lowers the target’s Comfort. The creature can also learn temporary versions of abilities from nearby dinosaurs and AI creatures. It can keep up to three learned memories, but only one copied ability can be active at a time. Their duration and strength vary by the creature being copied. Zupaysaurus can additionally imitate sounds from creatures it has tracked through scent.

Favor is awarded for discoveries, world events, and character growth. The Favor Shop includes appearance items for creatures as well as character changes and other options that depend on the character’s state. Favor can also be used to attempt the summoning of wind, lightning, or rain storms. These attempts create a world event with a tower that players may support through vocalizations or destroy through attacks. Cosmetic purchases are tied to an individual character rather than the whole account.

Isla Titania has received changes to water areas and travel routes, including link caves intended to improve connections between locations and support larger aquatic creatures. The patch also adds Proton 11 support, with Proton 11-6 named as the preferred default version on Steam Deck, alongside fixes for overlay behavior, input, and Easy Anti-Cheat on Proton systems.

What this means if you are considering the game

The update adds another specialized survival role for players who prefer ambushes, scavenging, debuffs, and situational abilities over direct strength. The Favor system provides in-game goals for character customization, while the Isla Titania changes may matter most to players using aquatic creatures or traveling between water regions.
