NEW CONTENT

River Raids Update
  • Added 3 new Rivers to the RIVER RAIDS game mode. (Erriff, Berbha, Rhine)
    • Face 2 River Champions and the new Champions of the Faith. Defeat them to get your hands on new weapons.
  • Added new rewards to River Raids (Lugh's Armor and 5 weapons - including a short sword)
  • Jomsviking Hall can be upgraded to Level 4-5, allowing players to hire Jomsviking of Level 4-5, respectively.
    • Jomsviking of higher rank can carry more rations and do more damage to enemies.
  • River Raid Longship cargo can be upgraded to Level 4-5.
  • 3 new abilities can be found in River Raids monasteries:
    • Spinning Harpoon: Eivor performs a spinning attack that can be combined with other harpoon-based abilities. Enemies caught in the spin are knocked back
    • Percussion Arrow: Hit an enemy's Shield to create a shockwave that staggers and damages nearby enemies.
    • Precision Axe Throw: Eivor performs a devastating axe throw that targets an enemy's weak point.
Rune Perk Changes
  • Targeted Rune socketing: This update means that RUNES will only affect the weapon they are socketed in, allowing players to create more targeted loadouts.
    • For example, you could fill your left-hand weapon with Attack runes and your right-hand weapon with Stun runes so that both weapons have very different effects.
    • Some stats will stay global (example: Assassination damages, Fire damages, etc.).
    • No changes have been made to Runes slotted on armor; they will still impact your character as a whole.
  • Perk & Rune Perk Cap removal: We also removed the CAP that prevented Perks & Rune Perks (diamond shape) effects from stacking beyond a certain threshold.
    • Players will now always see the impact of their Perks and be able to create more specialized loadouts.
  • Difficulty Setting Adjustments
  • Added Aesir (Nightmare) combat difficulty to the game.
    • +200% damages received
    • Standard damage inflicted
    • -40% rations heal

    • Very Hard: 60%
    • Nightmare: 60%
