Core Keeper: Bags & Blasts

Discover the sun-drenched sands of the Oasis, a brand-new sub-biome located within The Desert of Beginnings that's home to the adorable Drohmble, a camel-like creature that wanders these bountiful plains. Be sure to ranch these adorable creatures to uncover a valuable (but stinky) resource useful for crafting new mid-late-game weaponry. Prepare for a monumental fight against Nimruza, Queen of the Burrowed Sands, a gigantic super cicada who makes for a royal challenge in one of Core Keeper's biggest boss fights yet. Highly requested by the Core Keeper community, the introduction of Pouches also provides efficient new ways to organize items without taking up an explorer's valuable inventory space. These handy new items allow players to carry resources such as ore, seeds, fish, and valuables in separate, dedicated spaces, making inventory management easier while on long expeditions away from your base.

  • Oasis Sub-Biome – Discover the scorching sands of the Oasis, a brand-new sub-biome located within the Desert of Beginnings, complete with new resources, vegetation, and the camel-like Drohmble.
  • Explosives Skill Tree & Grenade Weapon Type – With eight new skills to master, the new Explosives skill tree provides a brand-new way to play Core Keeper via the new grenade weapon type.
  • New Bomb Types – Blast through cavern walls or defeat Core Keeper's toughest enemies with brand-new bomb types to discover, including the powerful vacuum-creating Void Bomb and the multi-blast Blunder Bomb.
  • Inventory Overhaul – With the introduction of pouches, these handy new accessories provide efficient new ways to manage your inventory, with separate dedicated places to store resources and free up valuable inventory space. The new hotbar swapping feature also allows players to choose which inventory row appears in their hotbar, allowing quicker access to essential equipment, while quick stacking lets players easily sort items into nearby chests.
  • Supersized Boss Fight – Take on Nimruza, Queen of the Burrowed Sands, in this colossal fight against a supersized insect. Tackle Nimruza alone or buddy up with friends online in one of Core Keeper's biggest boss fights yet.
