Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor's v2.3.0 update, released today, includes several long-requested additions to the game. The biggest of all is the new seasonal ladder - everyone starts on level ground, with a common goal: reach the highest tier in the shortest time, and reap the rewards. These goods include several cosmetic items, store discounts and high-quality gear. Coupled with the ladder, a new Void Crusade, Zircon has also been added to Inquisitor.

A full overview of the new features can be found here - make sure to check it out to see the new mechanics, objectives and more.

Gameplay-wise, we implemented several changes: not only does the new main menu and the character creation screen come with a refreshed look, we have also increased the number of character slots to make room for the new heroes of the Inferno. Ancient Relics have received a name suffix based on their enchant to make them more distinguishable, and also come with an extra enchant slot for some extra performance.

For a more detailed look on what the new patch contains, take a look at the patch notes below!

[h3]Balance[/h3]

Ancient items

The following changes will apply to newly acquired Ancient Relic items:

• Ancient items will have one additional enchant slot now, making the total number of slots 5
  
• The items have now received a distinctive name to make it easier for players to decide if they want to unlock them
  
• All ancient item enchants got revised, several new and unique enchants have been added
  
• Ancient items now always roll maximum values on their enchants based on the item level
  

Perks

• Attack anchor
  10% /second, up from 5% /second (the max value is unchanged)
  
• Augmented Body 2
  No Suppression damage removed, added 50% Max Suppression and 25 Suppression Damage Resist, and no longer disables HP regeneration
  
• Enhanced attrition
  Gives 150% DoT up from 50%, but now also gives -50% damage for everything that is not a DoT
  
• Heatsinks
  Heat Damage bonus increased from 15 to 25%

  Now Blinds the enemy instead of giving a flat damage debuff

• Rabble Slayer
  Gives 60% Damage Bonus increased from 20%
  
• Stride of the blessed
  30% Movement speed up from 25%, DR debuff also increased from -5 to -10
  

Energy Shield system

Energy Shield mechanics reworked. Shield behavior moved into 2 statistics:

• Energy shield: The regenerating, permanent part which can be gained either from the Deflector Field belt item or the Puritan Perk
  
• Shield charge: Acts as a refill for Energy shield but it can overflow creating a consumable "healthbar". Can be gained from "on-hit" "on-crit" etc. type of effects. Shield charge can be gained even without using a Deflector field or Puritan Perk, but on its own it does not regenerate
  
• There is a third supplementary effect "Shield regen" that determines the speed at which your permanent shield is recharging. It is always a percentage and an additive statistic. Energy Shields from the Puritan Perk and Deflector field regenerate 1% shield value/sec until they reach their maximum shield value

Personal Void Shield

• Now gives a massive - item level*100- points worth of Shield charge boost. It can be stacked up practically indefinitely but it doesn't regenerate

Deflector Field

• Now gives item level*25 Energy Shield, 1%/sec Shield regen, 25% Reflect chance and 100% Reflect damage for 60 seconds. Added a maximum cap to Energy charge of 15 000

Misc

• The Enunciator Heroic Deed is available for every class now which unlocks the 'Stride of the Blessed' perk
  
• Enemy HP and Damage scaling has been significantly improved, from lvl 70 the game gets gradually harder and harder. Added enemy levels up to lvl 120
  
• Enemy Suppression scaling has been improved while the player's suppression damage dealt is no longer affected by the negative modifiers of mission level difficulty
  
• Armour items rescaled: Now all armours give higher Damage reduce values at lower levels and lower values at maximum item level. Crusader armours also give HP now

• From now on Vulnerability stacks count as a single Debuff/ stack
  
• Reborn Marauder now spawns fewer Toxic entities on death
  
• Triple shot psalm doctrine now gives -30% crit chance instead of -50% damage bonus
  
• Enchants providing HP regeneration have been increased by about 50-80%
  
• HP gain per hit type enchants have been increased. Mostly affects the endgame
  
• The Suppression regeneration have been increased by 50-80%

• Loot quantity major
  
• Damage Bonus for Area of Effect major
  
• Damage reflect major
  
• Damage reflect chance major
  
• XP bonus
  

Constructs

• Added Weapon damage for construct weapons. Since it counts as a “base damage” for all construct skills, to keep it balanced Kataphron Destroyer’s and Kastelan Robot’s weapons intentionally give half the damage as they have two separate weapon modules, but the overall damage is the same as their single weaponed counterparts
  
• The Constructs' HP and Damage internal scaling were buffed to varying degree
  
• Hp regen module now gives % Hp regeneration instead of flat regen to increase its usefulness in the late game. Using HP and regen as a base for tanking is a valid tactic now
  
• The Kastelan's base HP scaling was toned down by about 12.5%, as it benefited more than any other construct from the previous changes
  
• The Kataphron Destroyer's base HP scaling increased by about 15%, as it benefited less from the changes than other constructs. It aims faster with the Grav-Gun now
  
• The Necromechanic Rainment no longer has a cast delay
  

The following enchants can be found now on various items equipped by the Tech Adept:

• Ranged/Melee Damage bonus for Constructs
  
• Physical/Heat Damage bonus for Constructs
  
• Damage bonus for every kind of Construct Skills
  
• Physical/Heat Damage bonus for Constructs

• Base Damage for Constructs
  
• Debuff-based damage bonus (eg. “against bleeding”) for Constructs
  
• Movement Speed for Constructs
  
• Movement Speed for the Tech Adept
  
• Base HP for
  
• Damage Reduction/Resists for Constructs
  
• % HP bonus for all Constructs

• Construct Damage for
  
• Construct Flat Hp enchants (stacks with % Hp on the modules)
  
• Ranged/melee damage
  
• Damage resist
  
• Shield
  

DoT changes

• DoT Suppression damage dealt increased from 0.2 to 0.5
  
• Enchants related to DoT damage have been seriously buffed (300-600%)
  
• They tick every 0.5 sec instead of every sec, making on-tick effects much more reliable, also being able to deliver just the right amount of damage in time (less overkill)
  

Reflect behavior reworked

• All reflect effects have been moved into 2 stats: Reflect chance and Reflect % damage
  Note: Reflect does not negate the incoming damage but hits back, so it's more of an offensive stat
  
• Reflect chance: the chance of hitting back, on damage taken
  
• Reflect % damage: Cap removed, now can be stacked indefinitely, hits back for a percentage of the incoming damage
  Note: Reflect chance and Reflect damage don't work without each other
