I can't choose Delta anymore.

I can't choose Delta anymore. The option to select him just disappeared. I have capsules where you can select Ace, Nina and Dally, but Delta's capsule just disappeared. Is this a bug or is it supposed to be like this?

Was mildly excited to try a new character, but can't find a way to switch chars. Tried standard, mega mode, community -- same result: only two capsules (Ace + Nina) and nothing else. At first I thought maybe Delta is tied to the Dally DLC, but I guess it's not, since OP has the DLC but is experiencing the same issue.

[EDIT] Just in case it's not clear: I don't have the DLC and Delta is missing for me too.

Delta wasn't part of the DLC. He came with a free update, but with the release of the new character, he just disappeared.

So I peeked in the 30xx Discord, and apparently Delta has to be unlocked; there were people who got him unlocked early, presumably due to a bug, then lost him after an update "fixed" the game. Way to kill enthusiasm for a new character. Probably never gonna unlock him then, since I hate the standard mode and play exclusively on Mega Mode. Lame.

unlocking him is really easy tho. Delta is unlocked whenever you unlock the entropy cluster. if you wanna do that without completing a standard mode run then. story spoilers there go to the tutorial, and after grabbing Zen Mortar as Nina, backtrack to the start, climb up, and beat the hidden boss within. this will give you some titan shards, which should unlock the entropy cluster. you may have to open standard mode for it to register, unsure (just enter the hub and see if he's there), and then you should probably have him

[phonon5891]

No thanks. The hidden boss itself isn't that hard, it's the path to it that's insufferable. The backtracking is annoying enough, but then you add all the effing spike traps, leaps of faith and by the time you get to the hidden boss you're dead in 2 hits. To top this all off, to retry you have to go through the whole thing all over again. Maybe I'm getting old, but this pisses me off more than getting the secrets in MMX1-3. F this, I'll just stick with mega mode.

Why not just use the assist options if it's that hard for you?

[phonon5891]

It's not too "hard" per se. It's annoying. It's a drag. It feels like a chore. It feels like going through Sky Lagoon in X4 then backtracking right before the boss room all the way to the left, go through a spike maze, do some leaps of faith, then fight the same giant boss but with 2x damage and 10x HP. It makes me feel like MM/Mega Mode (and by extension myself, who only plays that mode) was not even on the devs' minds when they made these cool updates, because you apparently can't unlock these updates in MM. Reducing game speed, reducing damage taken, reducing enemy health -- to me none of these help with the mental exhaustion of boosting through an empty tutorial stage with no upgrades followed by leaps of faith and a damage sponge boss.

This kind of thing somehow pisses me off more than X8 and the timed missions, and I max-ranked all of those and 100%-ed that game. Again, maybe it's just me getting old, but that's just how I feel.

Nah, I get the frustration of wanting to just play a mode and not having to run around and do things you don't want to do. There's a reason I turned on the assist stuff just to save me time. It took me 50+ runs to finally get a run to obtain 4 corruption pieces before level 8 of Deepverse (the RNG is better now, but back then it was a big oof).


Mega mode should definitely have a way to also unlock Delta independent from standard mode.

ok i just learned something. try entering level 5 in mega mode and die in it 5 times. that should also unlock delta, cause an alternate unlock condition for him is reaching level five 5 times
