Evolution is a game mode featured in Dinogen Online and Dinogen Arena. The mode revolves around Dinosaurs killing the Humans to evolve into more advanced species.
Dinogen Online[]
Evolution returns in Dinogen Online as one of the Ranked gamemodes.
As with its predecessor, the Dinosaurs start as Compies, and must kill the Humans to gain points and evolve to more advanced species, while the Humans must survive until time expires.
Note that human suicides (such as due to explosives) will also count towards Evolution.
Unlike Arena however, once the Dinosaurs evolve, an MH-6 will enter the area, and drop a random Turret crate for the Humans to use. The MH-6 is upgraded to an Osprey VTOL upon evolving to Carnotaurus, with the VTOL dropping off an extra Ammo crate, while also helping to fend off the Dinosaurs with its explosive autocannon.
Dinosaurs also receive innate buffs exclusive to Evolution - all Dinosaur species get 50% damage resistance to bullets, while the Compy gets 400 HP in normal games, or 200 HP in Hardcore. Note that the Stegosaurus doesn't receive any extra buffs to bullet resistance, remaining at 50%, as it always does in Ranked.
