Diablo IV Season 5 Leaked: Four New Consumables Revealed for Infernal Hordes Mode
Exciting news for Diablo IV players! Data mining from this week's Season 5 Public Test Realm (PTR) reveals four brand-new consumables arriving with the upcoming season. These additions, alongside the previously announced Infernal Hordes endgame mode, promise a significant shake-up to gameplay.
Consumables in Diablo IV are items providing temporary buffs or restoring resources. They're typically acquired through monster kills, chests, crests, or merchant purchases, and range from healing potions to elixirs boosting armor, and incense enhancing maximum life or elemental resistances.
Season 5 introduces four new consumable anointments, exclusively for the Infernal Hordes mode:
- Antipathy: A rare anointment increasing player resistances.
- Blackblood: A common anointment boosting a random core stat.
- Vitriol: A magical anointment increasing damage over time.
- Triune Anointment Cache: A new cache containing anointments, rare gear, and crafting materials.
The Infernal Hordes mode itself offers a roguelite experience, pitting players against escalating waves of enemies over 90-second intervals. After each wave, players select from three modifiers impacting subsequent encounters, increasing difficulty and rewards. Abyssal Scrolls, similar to Helltide's Profane Mindcage Elixir, will offer further challenge adjustments.
While details on obtaining, using, and crafting these new consumables are still scarce (the PTR runs until July 2nd), the discovery suggests a deeper crafting system and further strategic depth within the Infernal Hordes endgame. Stay tuned for further updates as players delve deeper into the PTR!
