The Mega Brutal Plague Inc. Bacteria: A Guide to Success

Suppression, a crucial ability in the mega brutal mode of Plague Inc., allows your bacteria to spread across country borders with ease. However, when using the fungus' spore abilities, it can be challenging to pop all the red bubbles at once. To simplify things, you can experiment with the Metabolic Jump gene, which automatically pops all orange and red bubbles. This gene setup is highly recommended, especially when paired with Patho-Stasis.

The latter gene prevents the increase in DNA costs for abilities, which is essential in the mega brutal mode where success is largely dependent on careful planning. Without genes, your success rate becomes entirely random, making it difficult to achieve a consistent outcome.

One of the key weaknesses of the fungus plague is its limited transmission via ships and planes. To counter this, you can use the spore abilities to infect new countries. Spore Hardening, unlocked by evolving two Spore Eruptions, allows your fungal spores to linger in the air, increasing their chances of infecting other countries.

To evolve Spore Eruption, you'll need to complete a specific sequence: evolve Spore Burst six times in a counter-clockwise direction. This ability, along with Spore Burst and Spore Eruption, is unique to the fungus plague.

Transmission through ships and airplanes is indeed challenging for this plague, as indicated by its description. To unlock the Fungus plague, you'll need to complete the Virus plague on either normal or brutal difficulty (check out our Virus Brutal guide for more information).

As the third unlockable plague, the Fungus plague requires careful planning and strategic use of abilities to succeed in the mega brutal mode. By mastering Suppression, Metabolic Jump, Patho-Stasis, Spore Hardening, and Spore Eruption, you'll be well on your way to conquering this challenging plague.
