DNA Damage

What does it do? I know it goes up every time you die, but what happens when you reach max DNA damage?

Not sure, but it seems like due to the fact it ticks down every time you die, there might be a cap on the amount of times you can die?

To tinker with this I spent time dying 101 times in a row, the number just keeps going up after 100 (went to 105 with no issue) so it doesn't seem like a cap, although every death also changes that graph you see on the death screen with LIFE and PRIMORDIALITY

It possibly has multiple functions but one of them is death multiplier. In necropolis there is a door with a number that ticks down with each of your deaths and the more dna damage you have the faster it goes down.

I thought it was a game over mechanic

Where is this door? Is it in the funeral office?

One of the tomb outside funeral home has it, the one memorial for fallen EFP officer.

Seems like you have to die many times for that six digit number to go down. Someone messing with steamcloud offline files and able to get in, nothing in there but a NPC head. Maybe later Necropolis is fleshed out we will know what is inside.

As of now DNA damage has no penalty. The part of the game explain why you are able to use soul retention augmentation still hasn't implemented.

Yeah I was thinking it'll be similar to the CruS mechanics regarding mutation for dying too much and the game getting easier.
