Elevator Symbols & Red Skulls

Read the symbols before the elevator descends. They preview special conditions, objectives, rooms or rewards in the generated Deep Layer. These meanings are based on a community video demonstration, not an official symbol glossary, so confirm unusual behavior in the current game build.

A post-launch community guide documents these 15 rolls: Black Market, Gold Rush, Heavy Machinery, Surveyed, Overcharge, Lucky Find, Hidden Stashes, Bank/baseline, Power Outage, Reinforcements, Hazard Zone, Lights Out, Mutation, Nesting Grounds and Rot Bloom. The official launch announcement confirms that 1.0 added new elevator modifiers, but it does not publish an icon glossary. Treat this list as current community mapping, not developer-authored rules or a source for exact multipliers.

A pre-release community video separately demonstrated scattered shop items, a fuse objective, a map room, traps, reduced lighting, an extra compactor, eligible 2× gold behavior and a boarded hidden gold room. These examples help interpret several current names—Gold Rush, Heavy Machinery, Surveyed, Lucky Find, Hidden Stashes and Power Outage—but they are not proof that every demo icon survived unchanged into version 1.0.

The red skull is consistent with the current Reinforcements label: expect more Corrupted pressure than on a baseline layer. Treat it as a danger modifier, prepare before processing noisy loot and keep a clear return route. The evidence does not establish a permanent enemy count or spawn multiplier.

Yes. GRAIN ROT is receiving launch fixes and balance updates. This page avoids exact damage, timing, spawn-count and reward-total claims because those details are more likely to change. If the current game behaves differently, trust the live build and check recent patch notes.
