FEATURES

SUPREME WEAPONS

• A new tier of rarity is now available for your weapons! 
• Supreme weapons drop from top tier bosses in expeditions and can be obtained by upgrading one of your currently encrypted legendary weapons with Arkforge in the salvage matrix.
• All current and future naturally looted legendary weapons can be upgraded to supreme. The exception to this are DLC 2 Arkbreaker weapons (obtained from the warmaster). We are working on a system that will allow these to be upgraded in the future.
• The chance of success for upgrading an encrypted legendary to a supreme will be 5%. More Arkforge can be added to increase this chance, however the cost goes up more the higher you go.
• Supreme weapons will gain a damage boost and add an additional Supreme bonus.
• Older bonus weapons (pre-patch) will instead roll from the current Epic bonus rolls instead of the supreme table for their additional Supreme bonus.
• Supreme weapons have a rare chance to drop from Expeditions at tier 30+ and round 8+. Each different Expedition has different supreme named weapon drops.
  
  

RARITY BONUS REROLL SYSTEM!

• A new system has been implemented that allows players to reroll one of their rarity tier bonuses for an Arkforge cost. This option is available via the salvage matrix. Once you have selected a rarity tier to reroll, the item will be locked to that tier, and you will only be able to reroll that tier going forward
• We've also added a feature in the salvage matrix that allows you to go back to the original rolls a weapon had, if you are unhappy with the overall changes to your weaponusingthereroll feature.
  • DLC 2 Arkbreaker weapons cannot currently use the reroll feature. We are working on a system to allow these to be rerolled in the future.
    
    

PRIVATE INSTANCES

Players can now choose to create their own arkbreak instance (Major currently, Minors will be coming soon!) and invite their friends and clanmates. This will have a Hunter Requisition cost for the creator of the instance, and will prevent other players from joining your Warmaster instance without your permission!

THE SHRILL

A new enemy has appeared in Silicon Valley. This new mysterious enemy can be found in Silicon Valley. Check it out, and keep your eyes peeled for more information coming up about this new threat in Defiance!

GAME UPDATE

ARKFORGE CAP

• Added a weekly cap to Arkforge obtained via events in game. 
• The cap does not include Arkforge from lockboxes, daily and weekly rewards, or Arkforge purchased from the store. 
• Patrons are exempt from the cap.
• The cap is currently set to 500 per week.
• If you go over the cap, a red display will indicate that you have reached the cap in your chat window and you will no longer gain Arkforge from events.
• If you are a patron, and your patron status lapses, the cap will be set to 0/500 when that happens and you will start adding to it. If you become a patron again, the cap will be removed.
  
  

EPIC BONUSES

• Updated the possible epic bonuses that weapons can generate to remove some of the more unpopular options and add new bonuses. Only newly created weapons after this patch are affected.
