Whether you're a Diablo 4 veteran or a newcomer to the series, choosing a leveling build sets the tone for your seasonal journey — and no better time to level than the first weekend of a season.
Here’s everything changing in Diablo 4 with Loot Reborn
02.05.2024 - 22:15 / polygon.com
Diablo 4’s new Loot Reborn update is nearly here, and will launch on May 14. Season 4’s theme is relatively light, it seems, but that’s to make way for the game’s biggest overhaul yet: loot. If you were tired of the classic “damage on Tuesdays” affixes and the general chaos of the game’s loot over the past year, Blizzard finally has you covered.
Below, we’ve highlighted some of the biggest changes coming with Loot Reborn on May 14. For the complete patch notes, keep scrolling down.
At launch, Diablo 4 had a bit of a problem when it came to its loot and loot affixes. There were too many situational effects that could roll onto weapons, making it really hard to get the affixes you want. And, even worse, these complex affixes could result in entirely dead affix spots, essentially bricking an otherwise good item.
Instead of affixes that are very specific, Diablo 4 is getting much broader in Loot Reborn. Now affixes might just read “X% bonus damage” instead of the previous overcomplicated affixes from before (which inspired the “damage on Tuesdays” meme). This should make crafting your perfect build and putting it together much easier, as most affixes will be useful for you at some point.
While most loot is getting simplified in Diablo 4, Blizzard is also adding in two new systems to help create depth for your items: Tempering and Masterworking.
Tempering allows you to replace and add affixes to your weapons, tailoring them to your needs. Masterworking compliments Tempering by allowing you to upgrade your affixes, essentially supercharging the item. Both of these systems will use endgame materials, but Masterworking specifically will use materials from the new, hyper-difficult dungeon: The Pit of Artificers.
Another old problem with Diablo 4 is that you got too much garbage loot while playing. And because you could upgrade your Rare items into Legendaries with the Codex of Power, you had to carefully comb through every single loot drop to make sure you didn’t get perfect affixes on a random Rare item.
Starting in Loot Reborn, Legendaries will just be better than Rares in almost all cases, so at some point you can stop caring about non-Legendary items you pick up. Some of the Diablo 4 developers did hint that they’re looking to make Rares useful again in the future, but for now you can just focus on Legendary items once you’re in the endgame.
Speaking of the Codex, it’s getting a major overhaul in Loot Reborn. Instead of only being able to earn certain Aspects for your Codex — and those Aspects always having worse stats than ones you’d find on a new item — you can now catalog all Legendary Aspects inside the Codex. Even better, you can extract Aspects from items directly into the Codex now, which upgrades

Diablo 4 is finally great
When a live-service game undergoes a massive systems overhaul, it’s often characterized as a reversal, a change of course, even a mea culpa — particularly if the game had been headed in a direction the community didn’t like. But a truly successful update of this type is one that enables a game to be more fully itself; to unlock something beautiful that was always present at its core, just tough to get to.
