Pathogenic Metabolic Sustain Build — Overcharge From Loot
Metabolic Mitochondrion is one of the clearest sustain-oriented build cores because the official Swarm update defines its mechanic directly: picking up loot gives overcharge in addition to the normal resource reward.
What you need to know
Why the loop works
Loot already matters during a run. Metabolic Mitochondrion adds overcharge to that same event, turning routine pickups into another resource event that connected organelles can exploit.
Build for consistency, not a single screenshot
Official balance notes have changed Metabolic Mitochondrion overcharge timing, so treat the mechanic as the durable part of the build and verify exact current values in the live codex before publishing a numerical breakpoint.
Common questions
What does Metabolic Mitochondrion do?
The official Swarm update says picking up loot also gives overcharge.
