Before a player starts their game, they can insert '''Genetic Code'''. These '''genes''' allow personalization of pathogens by providing boosts to how one infects people, reacts to different environments, acquires DNA, and just the playstyle in general of your pathogen.
 +
Except in some scenarios, players can insert one of the genes from '''Genetic Code '''before they start their game.  These genes allow personalization of plague, for example, by providing boosts to infectivity and DNA gain, increase/decrease the mutation rate, and so on.
   
−
Every time a player wins a game with a [[Standard Plagues|standard plague]], they unlock one of the 25 genes, regardless of the difficulty level. The same goes for victories in the [[Neurax Worm]]. However, the other special plagues normally unlock one of their special genes.

There are five different types of genes: DNA Genes, Travel Genes, Evolution Genes, Mutation Genes, and Environment Genes. Players can only have one of each type of gene per game, meaning that there are a large number of different genetic combinations that one can use for any disease (3,125 to be exact) . There are exclusive genes for [[Necroa Virus]], [[Simian Flu]], and [[Shadow Plague]]. On Android, you must buy the premium version for $1.00 in order to use the genes that you unlocked.

{{MainArticle|body=Main Article: [[Multiplayer#Genetic Code|Multiplayer § Genetic Code]]}}

The Multiplayer Mode adds unique genes that allow players to give certain advantages in a specific type of environment while making the plague less effective in others. These genes also include advantages of different mechanics such as making the player's disease kill people infected with other diseases faster, or making DNA bubbles that appear in the plague's country of origin score more points until the opponent finds the player's country of origin.

Latest revision as of 21:56, 13 April 2024

Except in some scenarios, players can insert one of the genes from Genetic Code before they start their game.  These genes allow personalization of plague, for example, by providing boosts to infectivity and DNA gain, increase/decrease the mutation rate, and so on.

Every time a player wins a game with a standard plague, they unlock one of the 25 genes regardless of the difficulty level. The same goes for Neurax Worm. However, the other special plagues can unlock one of their special genes.

There are five different types of genes: DNA Genes, Travel Genes, Evolution Genes, Mutation Genes, and Environment Genes. Players can only have one of each type of gene per game, meaning that there are a large number of different genetic combinations that one can use for any disease (3,125 to be exact). There are exclusive genes for Necroa Virus, Simian Flu, and Shadow Plague.

On Android, you must buy the premium version for $0.99 in order to use the genes that you unlocked.

Standard Plague Genes

DNA Genes

These genes give you more DNA in different ways.

ATPBoostIcon
Gen Name ATP Boost
Description Get bonus DNA at the beginning (8 extra starting DNA points)
MetabolicJumpIcon
Gen Name Metabolic Jump
Description Get more DNA from popping red, biohazard bubbles
(The points given are random. There is a 6/13 chance that the player will get one more point per bubble. The DNA Points given by the red bubbles depends of the disease's severity.)
CytochromeSurgeIcon
Gen Name Cytochrome Surge
Description Get more DNA from popping orange DNA bubbles
(In general, the gene tends to give the player a +1 DNA at the beginning of the game when the disease is basic and has not been found. When the disease is more complex, in particular the severity has increased, the gene gives the player more DNA per orange bubbles. The range that gives more DNA for the gene is random.)[1]
CatalyticSwitchIcon
Gen Name Catalytic Switch
Description Get bonus DNA from popping blue, cure bubbles(2-5 DNA points from each blue bubble)
MetabolicHijackIcon
Gen Name Metabolic Hijack
Description Orange and Red bubbles are automatically popped for you (1/6 probability of losing 1 DNA point from each red and orange bubble)

Mutation Genes

These genes let you tweak how your plague mutates.

DarwinistIcon
Gen Name Darwinist
Description Increases the chance of your plague mutating (+0.4 mutation)
CreationistIcon
Gen Name Creationist
Description Decreases the chance of your plague mutating (-0.4 mutation)
GeneticMimicIcon
Gen Name Genetic Mimic
Description Your Plague is harder to cure (+0.15 cure requirement)
Base Oxidisation Icon
Gen Name Base Oxidisation
Description Your plague can mutate Transmissions. Easier to cure (-0.1 mutation, -0.05 cure requirement)
Base Hydrolysis Icon
Gen Name Base Hydrolysis
Description Your plague can mutate Abilities. Easier to cure (-0.1 mutation, -0.05 cure requirement)

Travel Genes

These genes give your plague a boost when spreading.

TeracyteIcon
Gen Name Teracyte
Description Increases chance of your plague spreading by land (+7 infectivity)
AerocyteIcon
Gen Name Aerocyte
Description Increases chance of your plague spreading by air (+7 infectivity)
AquacyteIcon
Gen Name Aquacyte
Description Increases chance of your plague spreading by sea (+7 infectivity)
SuppressionIcon
Gen Name Suppression
Description Plague more likely to cross a closed land border (3 times infectivity between closed land borders)
NativeBiomeIcon
Gen Name Native Biome
Description Increases infectivity in your starting country

Environment Genes

These genes boost your plague in specific environments.

XerophileIcon
Gen Name Xerophile
Description Give your plague a bonus in arid climates (+0.5 arid effectiveness)
HidrophileIcon
Gen Name Hydrophile
Description Give your plague a bonus in humid climates (+0.5 humid effectiveness)
RurophileIcon
Gen Name Rurophile
Description Give your plague a bonus in rural environments (+0.5 rural effectiveness)
UrbophileIcon
Gen Name Urbophile
Description Give your plague a bonus in urban environments (+0.5 urban effectiveness)
ExtremophileIcon
Gen Name Extremophile
Description Give your plague a minor bonus in all environments (+0.2 arid, humid, rural & urban effectiveness)

Evolution Genes

These genes change the way your plague evolves. Note that these types of genes don't interfere with the Genetic Drift in Mega Brutal difficulty, which determines how much the amount of infected population should scale, although they are primarily designed to cut certain DNA point costs, especially early in the game.

IonisedHelixIcon
Gen Name Ionised Helix
Description Bonus DNA when devolving (-2 devolution cost)
TranslesionIcon
Gen Name Translesion +
Description Costs to devolve don't increase
SymptoStasisIcon
Gen Name Sympto-Stasis
Description Symptom costs don't increase but easier to cure（-0.1 arid, humid, rural & urban effectiveness, -0.1 cure requirement)
TransStasisIcon
Gen Name Trans-Stasis
Description Transmission costs don't increase but easier to cure (-0.1 arid, humid, rural & urban effectiveness, -0.125 cure requirement)
PathoStasisIcon
Gen Name Patho-Stasis
Description Ability costs don't increase but easier to cure (-0.1 arid, humid, rural & urban effectiveness, -0.11 cure requirement)

Unlocking via gameplay

You can unlock genes by playing the game in any difficulty.

  • Beating any plague type unlocks a random gene.
    • Beating a Necroa Virus game unlocks a random Necroa gene.
    • Beating a Simian Flu game unlocks a random Simian / Artificial gene.
    • Beating a Shadow Plague game unlocks a random Shadow / Flight / Blood Rage gene.

Multiplayer Genes

The Multiplayer Mode adds unique genes that allow players to give certain advantages in a specific type of environment while making the plague less effective in others. These genes also include advantages of different mechanics such as making the player's disease kill people infected with other diseases faster, or making DNA bubbles that appear in the plague's country of origin score more points until the opponent finds the player's country of origin.

Glitches

  • In some versions of Plague Inc: Evolved, the player can save the game just before winning and reload it many times as needed to unlock all genes for a disease type in Genetic Code.[2]

Trivia

  • Some of the genes have good and bad sides. For some genes that make your plague easier to cure, however, some abilities and symptoms can override that effect.
  • Neurax Worm is the only special plague that doesn't have its own special genes.
