Relic Hunters Legend News

Hey there, Hunters! Let's face it, having the perfect gear by your side is a big deal when taking on the evil Ducan Empire!

We're diving headfirst into the weapons and gear stats in Relic Hunters Legend. Ready to unleash your inner warrior? Great! Because we're about to share the countless ways which weapons and gear can transform you into an unstoppable force.

[h2]Weapon & Gear Rarity [/h2]



Relic Hunters Legend features different Tiers and Rarities of Gear. Tiers represent the Gear's level and Enhancement capacity, and Rarity represents the amount and type of Affixes a Gear has.

Your Gear’s Tier also affects your Gear Score, which is a special stat that reflects your Hunter's equipment quality. It will also provide additional bonuses as your Gear Score gets higher.

[h2]Affixes[/h2]



Affixes are bonuses that come together with your gear. From simple ones like "+5% Base Movement Speed" to complex powerhouses like "Shooting while in the air gives you +100% Critical Chance", affixes can shape your playstyle.

Affixes come in varying intensities. A pair of boots may bestow "+12% Base Movement Speed" instead of a meager "+5% Base Movement Speed." The better the Rarity of your weapon, the more Affixes it has. Embrace their diversity, as they help you become a stronger Hunter!

[h2]Gear Score[/h2]



The Tier of your Gear also affects your Hunter’s Gear Score, which is a special Stat that stands for how well-equipped your Hunter is and will give extra bonus the higher rank you get!

Achieving a higher Gear Score rank not only means your Gear is of overall higher quality, but also unlocks cool benefits for your character, such as new portrait borders, a new look for the Hunter, and significant overall bonuses to Attack and Defense values.

If you’d like a more visual breakdown of these topics view our TikTok here! Also, if you want to see the power of gear and weapon stats for yourself sign up for the next Closed Beta on the Relic Hunters Steam Page!

Hey Hunters!
Today we’re diving into the explosive world of WEAPONS! Who doesn’t enjoy unlocking the best loot? We’ll examine their unique strengths and strategies for BLASTING EVIL DUCANS!

[h2]Damage Types [/h2]

Weapons in Relic Hunters Legend offer two kinds of damage: Physical and Elemental. Each has its own unique damage effects, allowing you to optimize your attacks and exploit enemy weaknesses.

[h3]Physical Damage Types [/h3]


Physical Damage weapons take down shields with ease. There are three types of Physical Damage: Impact, Frag, and Magnetic.

Impact damage is the most common form you’ll see. They do +25% extra damage against shields and can stun some targets, helping you gain control of chaotic battles.

Frag damage causes Injury, which inflicts continuous physical damage and deals extra punishment to Health. It also boasts a +25% damage bonus against Shields, ensuring no obstacle can withstand your assault.

Magnetic damage, the rarest and most coveted type, wreaks havoc on Shields with a staggering +75% increased damage. Strikes can Silence enemies, rendering them unable to use special Skills.

[h3]Elemental Damage Type [/h3]

For those who enjoy the elements, Elemental Damage offers three types: Fire, Water, and Nature.

Fire damage inflicts Burn, gradually damaging the target over time and dealing additional harm. It also provides a +25% damage bonus against Armor.

Water damage Freezes foes, immobilizing targets and buying time to eliminate other units and heal. It also provides a +25% damage bonus against Armor.

Nature damage counters regenerative abilities, inflicting Contagion, rendering targets immune to healing from any source. It also provides a +75% damage bonus against Armor.

Choose your weapons wisely and utilize their diverse damage types to take on any challenge.

[h2]Weapon Types [/h2]


Whether you're a fan of Pistols, Auto Rifles, Marksman Rifles, Shotguns, SMGs, Machine Guns, and more, there’s a weapon for every playstyle—heck there are even Grenade Launchers!

Love sniping? Our Legendary Marksman Rifle, the Trick Shot, has got you covered! Its bonus effects give your Hunter a 100% Critical Chance while shooting in the air! Get up high and fly while shooting down at your foes.

Wanna do some super extra damage? The Legendary SMG, Grim Reaper, is feared by all Ducans, dealing an extra 20% damage for each Condition (Stun, Injury, Silence, Burn, Freeze or Contagion) the targets are suffering from. No Ducan stands a chance!

If you use the Legendary Pistol, All Second Chances, you'll be able to increase Critical Damage by +25% (max stacks 5) for every shot that is not a Critical Hit! Everyone deserves a second chance, after all!
That’s just a brief look into some of the awesome weapons Relic Hunters Legends have, there are so many more to be discovered!

[h2]Weapon Stats [/h2]

Weapon Stats let you know how strong a weapon can be! These stats are determined by three key attributes: Tier, Affixes, and Enhancement Level. For more power, be on the lookout for weapons with a higher Tier Rarity!

Affixes provide unique gameplay stats that give extra bonuses, like Reload Speed, Skill Recovery Speed, Fire Rate, Ammo Capacity, and more! This helps you customize your gameplay and gives you some extra fighting power.

Get ready to try the different weapons out for yourself in the next Closed Beta! Sign up on the Relic Hunters Steam Page ! We look forward to seeing you in-game as we take on the Ducans!

Cheers ~
