Explosive Exposition
In this update, we're releasing a treat for the loremongers among you: the Codex has finally been retrieved from the archives (it was on the top shelf), and is packed full of information for those who've been wanting more insight into the world and story of Blood Reaver. Meanwhile, for those who'd rather Reave than read, we're giving you the opportunity to get permanently barred from the library with two new and highly explosive weapons.
Codex:
The Codex has been unearthed from the dusty archives of the Scholars' sanctum, and is now available to study from the main menu. In it, you'll find descriptions of weapons, enemies, abilities and Fates, as well as scraps of information about the history of the Reavers and their eternal war against demonkind. Entries will mostly be unlocked through gameplay, but you'll want to stay watchful for loose pages as you move about the map.
New Weapon: Minotaur
A devastating weapon which launches an explosive projectile capable of incinerating whole clumps of demons at a time. Not recommended for use in close quarters, but don't let us tell you how to slay. If the Minotaur's destructive power is somehow not enough, the infused version gets truly absurd.
New Relic Weapon: Weeping Dragon
A second Relic Weapon to join the Crystaline Agitator - the Chaos Demon's cannon-arm, ripped away and repurposed by the Blood Reavers. Launches a ball of blood-magic-demon-magic chaos death at anything unfortunate enough to be within range. A monstruous tool for levelling the horde. As with the Minotaur, you'll want to keep your distance from the blast.
