Rift Rework
We reworked Rifts to make them scale better in difficulty, rewards, and gameplay.
In Tier 4, up to 3 Rifts can appear. Each Rift lasts for 80 seconds.
Rifts now have two phases:
Corruption
- Stand inside the Rift and kill enemies to fill Corruption.
- At 100%, the Rift is captured and the next Rift can spawn.
Instability
- A captured Rift stays active and becomes unstable.
- Stay inside to raise Instability.
- Kill enemies inside to raise it faster.
- Step outside to lower Instability.
Higher Instability means stronger Wraiths, but also more score.
While standing inside an unstable Rift:
- you gain passive score every 2 seconds. The higher the Instability, the higher the score.
- the bonus % score of the rift is applied to all kills
Leaving the Rift stops this passive score and bonus score percentage.
Each captured Rift also increases your score bonus during Instability, but the danger goes up too.
Capture the Rift, then decide how far you dare to push it.
Gear Tooltips
We updated gear tooltips to make Purity much easier to read, so Pure Legendaries are clearly distinguishable from regular Legendaries.
