Per the PS4’s update history:

– New weapon: the Oven Axe.

– New mutation: Point Blank. Close-ranged range attacks inflict X% bonus damages.
– New mutation: Barbed Tips. Inflict x damage per seconds to enemies per arrows stuck in them.
– New difficulty curve: We’re experimenting with a new way of increasing the difficulty from one BC to the next.
– BC0: Health fountains in every transition.

– BC2: No more health fountain, one minor flask in every transition.
– BC3: One minor flask after the first boss and before the second.
– BC4: No more health in any transition, enemies teleport to your position.
