"Rapid advances in medical science allow for the production of advanced artificial organs. As production ramps up, it is hoped that the ability to replace organs will significantly improve life expectancy. Is humanity on the brink of immortality?" — Plague Inc., Artificial Organs introduction paragraph |
Artificial Organs is a scenario added in the Mutation 1.8 update.
What happens?[]
At the beginning of the game, a popup will show saying "Artificial Organs adored by the world." When a disease is spotted and has lethal symptoms, a popup will appear saying "Artificial Organs to save lives." The lethality of the plague will be reduced significantly, and they will continue to do so for the rest of the game unless the players counter it. The lethality reduction is enough to counter even the Bio-Weapon's Unlock Annihilate gene and the evolution of normally end-game symptoms like Total Organ Failure and Hemorrhagic Shock. This effect is more pronounced on higher difficulties.
Due to the nature of the scenario, only normal plague types are allowed.
How to counter Artificial Organs[]
To stop the Artificial Organs from decreasing a plague's lethality, players must evolve both the Insanity and Hyper Sensitivity symptoms after the "save lives" popup. After players do this, a popup will show up, saying "Victims of <plague name> rip out organs". After that, the plague's lethality will slowly increase instead.
