The Diablo 4 Public Test Realm (PTR) is returning soon to preview the new content and changes inbound for Season 10, including an Infernal Hordes revamp, a new boss, and a new unique armor type, Chaos Armor. The Season 10 PTR will be available from August 19 to August 26 for PC players.
Where Season 9 brought a revamp to Nightmare dungeons with Horadric Strongrooms and Escalating Nightmares, Infernal Hordes is next on the list for a refresh. The Season 10 PTR will introduce new Chaos Monsters that provide shrine-like buffs when defeated, as well as optional Chaos Waves that will dramatically up the difficulty of a wave in return for a higher Aether reward.
The Fell Council is also getting a rework–one member of the Council will be designated as Council Speaker each time you fight them, gaining enhanced abilities along with the title promotion. Players will also have the option of ignoring the Fell Council altogether and opting into a brand-new boss fight with Vizjerei Warlord Bartuc–formerly the Warlord of Blood, now the Warlord of Chaos. Players will have to spend Aether to fight Bartuc, but the punishing boss fight promises increased rewards if the party successfully defeats him.
While most of the Infernal Hordes rework provides more challenging fights for experienced players, Blizzard is also introducing a stripped-down, earlier-game version called Fleeting Hordes. The mode will be available in pre-Torment tiers, and will consist of four waves before facing off against two members of the Fell Council.
A new unique armor type called Chaos Armor is also being introduced in the next PTR, allowing players to harness the power of Chaos for themselves. Chaos Armor provides a more powerful version of existing unique items, but true to its name, Chaos items will only drop for an item slot other than the one the original item was intended for–unique boots may drop as gloves, for example, or an amulet as chest armor. The item shakeup will enable new builds, allowing players to combine affixes in ways that weren’t previously possible.
All Diablo 4 players on PC can opt into the PTR through the Battle.net app–including Game Pass players, who can access the Battle.net client through the Xbox App. The Season 10 PTR will be open from August 19 to August 26.
Check out the full list of new content and patch notes for the 2.4.0 PTR below:
Infernal Hordes Reborn
The Infernal Hordes are hotter than ever; we’re dialing up the intensity on this incendiary mode.
Infernal Hordes refined
- We’ve done a significant re-work of Infernal Offerings revealed between each Wave. Our goal is to try to make all offerings feel valid as choices for you as you start to stack them to focus on your run.
- We’re doing this by balancing existing offerings, changing the effects of some offerings, and adjusting base Monster populations.
- At the start of the Infernal Hordes, you’ll now start with an Infernal Offering to immediately stoke the embers and breathe some fire into your run.
The Fell Council
The Fell Council has had some promotions. When fighting them, one of their members will now be the designated Council Speaker, and gain enhanced abilities.
Chaos Monsters
Hell has unearthed a new monster family from deep its horrid maw. Born of smoke and brimstone, these Chaos Monsters provide a powerful shrine-like buff when killed.
Chaos Waves
Hellfire brews the dastardliest maladies. Within the Infernal Hordes, you’ll occasionally be offered the choice of a Chaos Wave within the Infernal Hordes from your Infernal Offerings. You can expect an amount of Chaos Waves offered relative to the Infernal Compass Tier each time you enter the Infernal Hordes.
Chaos Waves completely alter the upcoming wave, imbuing havoc and intense challenge. These waves will have significantly increased difficulty, but reward far more Aether should you be able to survive.
Chaos Waves will have many different combinations to discover and master. Dodge deadly projectiles from Chaos Rifts, slay a rampaging Hellwyrm, or hunt down erratic Aether Goblins. Chaos awaits!
Fight Bartuc, the Warlord of Blood
Rather than facing off against the Fell Council, you can choose to risk your hard-earned Aether and throw down against the insidious, reborn Bartuc to complete your Infernal Hordes run.
The Fleeting Hordes
We’re introducing a warming version of the Infernal Hordes to burn through earlier in your character journey.
In Pre-Torment Tiers, you’ll play this modified version of the Infernal Hordes to slay through before reaching Torment difficulties.
Fleeting Hordes will be 4 waves in total, with limited Infernal Offerings to keep the packs of vicious Goblins under control.
Upon completing the 4 waves, you’ll fight two Fell Council members before you can spend your hard-earned Aether for rewards.
Bartuc Beckons
An infamous Vizjerei Warlord known for his acts of cruelty performed in the Mage Clan Wars, Bartuc’s perversion knows no bounds. He returns to Sanctuary with a new title, Warlord of Chaos.
- Each member of your party will need to spend Aether to fight the infamous Vizjerei, Bartuc who was once known as the Warlord of Blood. The first player who chooses sets the decision for the rest of the party.
- Bartuc will harness Chaos Portals to shoot projectiles at your location, master his tactics and enter these Chaos Portals tactically to gain the upper hand.
- Upon defeat, Bartuc’s rewards will appear on the ground, so you do not have to spend additional Aether to claim these spoils.
Harness Entropy with Chaos Armor
A new Unique Armor type—Chaos Armor—has entered Sanctuary.
- Chaos Armor is a more powerful version of existing Unique items that come with a diabolical twist. Chaos Armor are Unique items that appear as more powerful counterparts for other Item slots, leading to entirely new ways of dispensing carnage. Chaos Armor can appear for the following item slots:
- Helm
- Chest
- Gloves
- Pants
- Boots
- Chaos Armor will only appear as an item fit for anything other than its original slot. For example, Flickerstep won’t have a Chaos Armor version in the Boots slot.
- Chaos Unique Powers are also more potent than their normal counterpart, always appear at Maximum power, and have at least one Greater Affix.
- Note: you won’t be able to equip the same Unique item between Chaos version and standard.
For example, you could have Fists of Fate drop as a Helm instead of as Gloves, allowing you to equip a different set of Unique Gloves to compound those affixes in a combination that was previously unavailable.
The following Uniques will be available as Chaos Unique:
