CLOSED BETA 2: What’s New and Known Issues

We are so excited for everyone to jump into the second Closed Beta Relic Hunters Legend’s on
July 20th at 9AM CT, until July 24th at 9AM CT!

This Closed Beta is bringing a bunch of new things for you to experience into the game!

  • [h3]Relics are now available![/h3]
  1. Relics are a special type of Gear that are unique, have their own unique slot in the Backpack, and can be leveled up with XP to become more powerful and unlock new affixes.
  2. Relics can only be acquired by crafting them, using a special consumable called “Relic Blueprint.” The Blueprint will list the materials needed to Craft, but it’s usually 3 unique Relic Pieces + a few Materials.
  3. Relics also require a minimum REBEL RANK before you are able to craft and use it.
  • [h3]Relic Hunt is now available[/h3]
  1. A special Adventure that rewards players with a Relic Blueprint.
  2. Relic Hunts usually take some effort to be triggered. Ex: The player must solve a puzzle hidden in a level, get a specific item, and talk to an NPC. Then the adventure starts.
  3. Players can also trigger Relic Hunts by finding a unique key item (with a very low drop chance) in a chest.
  4. There will only be one available Relic Hunt during Closed Beta 2.
  • [h3] Small changes to Ace and Jimmy's skill trees[/h3]


Players can continue to enjoy unlocking playable Hunters through story mode, and jump into missions either solo, with friends, or with Hunters from around the world to comb the universe for powerful loot and face off against the evil Ducans.

In addition, the progress for players that joined the Closed Beta: Stress Test and Closed Beta 1 will be kept for this Closed Beta.

[h2]KNOWN ISSUES [/h2]

This is an in-development build of Relic Hunters Legend, so you may encounter some issues while you play. Below are some of the known issues you may encounter:

  • Sometimes the beam from Seven's ultimate is invisible to other Players
  • LT Speedy will occasionally run away from players and leave the boss fight arena
  • Armor Breaker in Special Missions provides 0% bonus Nature Damage
  • There is an invisible ceiling above the red chest in "No Man's Land"
  • Feats cards disappear when they are claimed in quick succession.
  • The Spirit stat description does not explain that the stat increases healing value.
  • Seven's face may disappear during certain cutscenes.
  • Players can get stuck in specific areas on different missions.
  • Players can get trapped between props on different maps.
  • Some performance issues during missions.
  • Occasionally the application will crash upon quitting the game.



If you find bugs that aren't on this list, you can report them using the steps below! Thank you so much for being a part of our community, Hunter! ⭐


[h2]REPORTING BUGS [/h2]

[h3]In-Game Bug Reporter [/h3]

If you encounter any issues while playing, there’s a handy built-in bug-reporting tool!
To access it, hit F3 on your keyboard. This will automatically take a screenshot and attach it to your report, so our team knows where the issue happened.



Next, fill out the Description text box with:

  • What you were doing when the issue arose
  • What the issue (bug) was
  • Where you found it


For instance, if the audio suddenly cut out while playing in the Galyno Canyon stage, you could hit F3 and write:

While playing in the Galyno Canyon stage with my party, the sound of the weapons disappeared right after I switched weapons and didn’t come back”.

Please feel free to report any bugs you encounter, no matter how simple they may seem. Each bug report is valuable information for our team and helps us make Relic Hunters Legend even better!

Thanks again for helping us test the servers for this closed beta.

Guide to Weapon & Gear Stats

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.
