Diablo 4 Hotfixes, July 7th, Part 2: Uber Uniques Return

Staff Avatar by Staff

Today’s second hotfix batch brings the Uber Uniques back and changes the way Uniques in general drop from Helltide chests. All types of Uniques can now drop from all types of Helltide chests!

And in case you missed what started all of this, with Uber Uniques dropping frequently from Helltide chests, you can read the full story here.


HOTFIX 2 – JULY 7, 2023 – 1.0.4

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where Uber Unique items had an unintended higher chance to drop from Helltide Chests.

Developer Note: With the above change, we have re-enabled Uber Unique drops in Diablo IV. In total we have discovered that only 142 accounts obtained an Uber Unique between the launch of 1.0.4 and when we disabled Uber Unique items from the game on the evening of July 6th. We do not plan on removing these items from the accounts. In the future, we may need to take action to maintain fairness within the game when a bug or exploit impacts the gameplay of others.

Gameplay Changes

  • Helltide Chests will now have the chance to drop any Unique and not be restricted to specific item slot limitations from any chest.

Developer Note: With the above change players will now be able to find Unique items from ALL Helltide Chests. Uber Unique items also have a chance to be found from all chests.
