Gauntlet Season 4

Gauntlet Season 4 arrives with a myriad of levels, complete with new and returning modifiers. Toxic Shields is a brand-new modifier which causes you to lose the equivalent in health whenever you gain shields.

Gauntlet cycles are now 16 levels instead of 20. This means that the rewards you earn every 5 levels will not be distributed on the same set of encounters every cycle.

Earn new weapon trackers from the Research Lab, and climb the Gauntlet leaderboard to secure brand-new exclusive titles this season, such as Elemental Conqueror, Elemental Scion, and more!

 

New Cells

Three new themed cells are available in the Research Lab this season.

– Impulse: Gain 10% increased movement speed. Critical hit damage is increased by a percentage for every percentage of increased movement speed, benefitting from up to 50% increased movement speed.
– Inertia: While sprinting, build up to a percentage of increased critical chance over 4 seconds. This critical chance lasts for 2 seconds or until critical damage is dealt.
– Conservation: Losing bonus movement speed grants an increasing number of shields for every 5% movement speed lost. This effect cannot happen more than once every 2 seconds.

If you haven’t gotten the Earth, Water, and Fire cells from Season 3, you can use your leftover crests from Season 3 for a guaranteed +1 cell from the Last Chance tab of the Research Lab. After two weeks, the Season 3 cells will no longer be available for direct redemption. They will only appear in random core drops thereafter.

 

Hunt Passes: Orrery Scientists & Shamanic Wisdom

The Orrery scientists and Krolachi shamans return to the Shattered Isles with battle-ready weapons and mystical armour.

Unlock the Orrery Scientists cosmetic Hunt Pass to earn state-of-the-art Orrery gear, or harness the wisdom of Krolachi shamans with the mystic rewards in the Shamanic Wisdom cosmetic Hunt Pass.

• Gnasher weapon unique effect will no longer remain active when changing loadouts.
• Serrated Blades will now be removed if Slayers change loadouts while it is active.

Event: The Silver Sword Returns

Reckoning: The Story Continues

The portal driver is a mysterious device found in the shadows of the Umbral Deeps. It saved the people of Ramsgate not long ago, but at what cost?

Activating the portal driver opened a portal away from the sundered city, but it also knocked the entire aetheric spectrum off-balance. The Agarus took root in a Farslayer homeland. The Urska awoke from a long slumber. The Chronovore appeared. The Thunderdeep Drask returned from extinction. New evolutions, like the Frostwülf and the Fenroar. New variants like the Lightbound Boreus. The surge of radiant aether. All of this was connected to the imbalance of the aetheric spectrum.

Participate in weekly story quests to help the Slayers of Ramsgate unite against this new disaster — one that they have unwittingly caused themselves…

Quality of Life

UI

Reckoning

Kat continues to investigate Granny Strega’s cryptic warnings. But are the Slayers of Ramsgate too late to stop whatever danger is on the horizon?

More Bonus Events

Be on the lookout for new bonus events that will run from now until the end of the year. Each of these minor events will be linked to a character in Ramsgate, offer bonus progression, and a temporary repeatable quest.

Island Adventure: The Exile

A Krolachi warrior has been exiled to Hades Reach. Help him complete his Wild Hunt and reclaim his honour. However, be wary of the Krolachi Seer, the leader of the exile’s former clan. She may have other plans! Slayers can only access this adventure once they’ve unlocked the Reforge node on the Slayer’s Path. Each of the island adventures is intended to give Slayers new ways to uncover stories about the Shattered Isles, while boosting weapon experience at key moments in progression.

A shadow has settled over Ramsgate. Speak to Honest Ozz in Ramsgate to learn more about how you can participate in this year’s event.

That’s right, you can now redeem your Harvest coins for bundles of rams, patrol keys, combat merits, bounty tokens, aethersparks, or tonics.

Additionally, mysterious notes with strange markings have appeared in a dark corner of the city. Uncover the notes’ meaning and you may get an even closer look at the workings of the Unseen. Some say this is the only way to unlock the free Unseen Neophyte Hunt Pass.

Dark Harvest runs from October 13 to November 1.

 

Hunt Passes: Krolachi Flame & Ancient Tribes

The Shattered Isles are not for the faint of heart. It’s difficult to build a life while battling both Behemoths and the natural elements. But the Krolachi, like some ancient cultures, have found a way to live within the dangers of the world — as part of it.

Unlock the Krolachi Flame cosmetic Hunt Pass to earn a set of armour and weapon skins fit for a warrior of Krolach. Dig into the Ancient Tribes cosmetic Hunt Pass to earn a set of Primal gear skins.

 

New Season: Elemental Fury

 

The Elemental Fury season brings new weekly challenges, story quests, and Reward Cache items for Slayers to earn. Collect Elemental coins to unlock two complete sets of tactical armour and an array of sleek weapon skins, previously available in the Rogue Elements Hunt Pass.

Kat’s investigation into the growing imbalance of the aetheric spectrum continues with haste. Arkan Drew believes that using the Portal Driver to save the citizens of Ramsgate may have had some unintended consequences.
