Heart of Madness Patch – March 30th, 2022

  • Blunderbuss added to the game
  • The Blunderbuss is a ranged weapon that offers high mobility coupled with potent close-to-mid range damage. It’s the first weapon to scale on strength and intelligence, making it a good companion for bruiser or mage builds.
  • Players can progress through two-weapon mastery trees, allowing the player to choose between two distinct playstyles.
    • The Containment tree is all about closing the gap and unloading hot lead into your enemy’s face.
    • Conversely, the Chaos tree focuses on keeping your distance and bombarding areas with explosive AoE damage.
