Welcome, Inquisitor!

Here you will find all the insider information about Inquisitor in detail. The 2.0 update was a free overhaul of W40K: Inquisitor, designed to push the game towards a more traditional ARPG feel, while adding more content and variety to the game. You can use the navigation panel at the right to quickly access sections.

Note: The values and mechanics described here are subject to change upon release and future updates.

Last update: 2021. 12. 03.

Quick Facts

Crafting has been revamped to give players a better access to useful items while not being overly complicated. Therefore, the number of crafting materials have been reduced, and the Tech Tree has been altered as well.

• All crafting times have been removed so items are now instantly created upon crafting them.
• The blueprint system has been altered. Old blueprints have been removed, and numerous new ones have been added. 
• Crafted items create items based on player level.
• Relic items can now be crafted occassionally via the Crafting panel.
• Fusion is now the name of the feature that allows players to fuse sockets onto an item.

Current crafting materials include:

• Artificer material: Ancient Mechanism
• Relic material: Machine God's Spark
• Archeotech Relic material: Spark of Glory

Modify

• Relic enchants can be modified. Secondary enchants can be rerolled as well to support the main Relic enchant better.
• Players can now reroll the value of a single enchant. Price: 1 Ancient Mechanism for lower tier items, and 1 Machine God's Spark for items above Artificer level.
• Players can now reroll an item's full enchantment list for credits.
• Players can now reroll a single enchant's type. Price: 1 Ancient Mechanism for lower tier items, and 1 Machine God's Spark for items above Artificer level.
• Players can now reroll an item's base value (e.g. damage for weapons) for credits

Crafting Capacity

Items have Crafting Capacity which determines how many times that item can be modified. Integrity can be enhanced via the Crafting panel as well, using credits and materials. Integrity is displayed in the top right corner of an item's tooltip.

Salvage

Relic items provide 1 piece of Machine God's Spark, Archeotech Relics provide 1 Sparks of Glory, while Ancient and Morality Relics provide 3 Sparks of Glory.

Players can increase an item's level in the following way:

• 1 level: 1x Ancient Mechanism
• 2 levels: 3x Ancient Mechanism
• 3 levels: 1x Machine God's Spark
• 4 levels: 3x Machine God's Spark
• 5 levels: 1x Spark of Glory

By gaining an item level, a piece of gear will have increased base and enchant values.

Patch 2.0 introduces socketed items, Archeotech Shards, and Psalm-Codes to the game. These items can drop during missions and can be found in loot caches as well. Both socketable item types are designed to enhance and reinforce the Inquisitor's gear. Below you will find the bonuses applied by each item in a table. A number of sockets can now be rolled on items above item level 20. The maximum number of sockets depend on the item type. Sockets can only be rolled on Artificer items or better. A level 20 item will have a 2% chance for a socket, with a 0.1% increase per item level. This increase bumps up to 0.15% above item level 70. Sockets can be added to items of all quality via the Crafting panel, using 1 Spark of Glory and Credits. Prices will increase by 2% per level above level 20. Both Archeotech Shards and Psalm-Codes can be simultaneously used in a single item.

Possible Socket Numbers per item type:

Note: Higher tier items have a better chance to gain more sockets, while lower tier items will tend to have socket numbers from the lower range of the spectrum.

• One-Handed weapons: 1-4 sockets
• Two-Handed weapons: 1-6 sockets
• Armor: 1-6 sockets
• Main Implant: 1-3 sockets
• Inoculator: 1-3 sockets
• Belt: 1-2 sockets

Here you will find a complete list of all available Archeotech Shards within the game, as well as their applied bonuses.

Archeotech Shards have a quality modifier. You will be able to combine Shards of the same quality to a higher tier Shard. This can be done at the crafting panel. 

The crafting table of Archeotech Shards goes like this:

Psalm-Codes can be obtained by players in a similar way to Archeotech Shards, but give different bonuses. In addition, there exist specific Psalm-Code Doctrines that result in an unique, powerful bonus.

Psalm-Codes can be combined in a pyramid-manner, e.g. combining three Psalm-Codes of the same kind will result in a single Psalm-Code of higher quality.

The full list of Psalm-Codes can be found below:

	Name	Effect	Quality
	Hermeticon Psalm	+3% DMG reduce upon kill	Magic

Psalm-Code Doctrines are unique bonuses attainable by using a specific combination of Psalm-Codes. Of course, the original bonuses of each individual Psalm-Code are preserved and in effect. The table only lists the additional bonus effects gained by applying the Psalm-Code Doctrine.

The Tarot System has been reworked in the following way:

• Tarot Cards can be achieved through leveling up or through the loot system.
• Tarot Mission generation from the old UI has been removed.
• Every Open World mission can be applied a Tarot Card.
• Tarot cards can now be leveled up to level 5 for increased effect.

Major Arcana cards can now be applied onto missions with major difficulty modifiers and gameplay elements.

Tarot Card leveling works like this:

Tarot cards accumulate and stack up over time, and to level them up, you need to spend credits in order to level them.

Major Arcana

Note:  Major Arcana cards have 2 types. The cards in the first category do not adjust mission level - The Possessed, The Archeotech Vault, The Crucible, The Pure, The Treasure Trove, The Heretek Forge fall into this first category.
The rest of the Major Arcana cards adjust mission level, so players can gain more XP and loot during high-level adventures.

Empyrean Seals are a new addition to the Tarot system. Players can find Empyrean Seals through the general loot system.

Every time a Tarot item (Seal or Card) would be dropped, the drop type is determined in the following way:

• Tarot Card drop: 80% chance

These Seals can be applied onto the Minor Arcana Tarot slots, and are consumed upon usage. Empyrean Seals can not be leveled.

The Void Crusade is a new, endgame campaign that can be assembled and started via the new Tarot System. Players can combine and choose between mission routes in order to gain the best possible endgame loot, both quantity and quality-wise. You can gain access to the Void Crusade via launching it from the Command Bridge by using the Void Crusade stone that previously opened the old Tarot panel.

Quick Facts

• Unlocks at Level 35.
• Void Shards start dropping from the loot system at Level 30 to make Starting the first Void Crusade easier.
• When Void Crusades are unlocked, the first Crusade started by the player (any color) is free.
• Players can gain Shards from Challenges, Major Arcana mission rewards, or from the Void Crusade itself.
• Assembling 5 shards of the same type creates the Void Crusade map that can be accessed from the Command Bridge.
• Players have a limited amount of tries on the entire Void Crusade map before having to recreate it again from Shards.
• Each completed mission on the Void Crusade map will add to a stacking loot bonus and slight difficulty modifier.

• Hidden and Covert Missions can be unlocked by completing hidden events or finding secret info-fragments. These missions give further unique loot bonuses or allow more tries for the player
• Supreme Missions are located at the end with challenging bosses and missions
• Completing objectives and missions on the Void Crusade map rewards players with Keys
• Players may acquire a total of 6 keys from the Void Crusade
• After finishing a Supreme Mission, players can use a teleporter on the map to get transported to the final loot room where they can open Void Chests
• Players may open as many Loot Caches as they can with the number of acquired Keys at hand, besides the Supreme Void Chest which does not require a key to open

Cogitators are hidden across some of the maps which give clues about the Loot Caches' content at the final loot screen

• Unique scripts and seven new game modes are available, such as Secure the Artifact, Sabotage, or Nurgle Hunt
• New tilesets are available: Deathworld, Desert, Monastery, and Factory

Detailed Void Crusade mechanics

There are available 9 Void Chests after completing a Supreme Mission, but the maximum amount of keys a player can get is six.

• 2 keys are granted by an End Mission
• A key is granted after completing 5 missions of any kind
• A key is granted after completing at least 2 Bonus missions
• A key is granted after completing all Covert and Hidden missions
• A key is granted after defeating the Wandering Servoskull

You can find 5 Cogitators across the whole Void Crusade map. These will give players Info-fragments about the content of one loot cache from the final loot screen. All loot caches contain different loot types, so players can rely on luck or on the information gained from the Info-fragment Cogitators to access the type of loot they exactly need.

The 9 Void Chests always contain specialized loot:

	Void Chest #1	Psalm-Codes
	Void Chest #2	Archeotech Shards
	Void Chest #3	Tarot Cards, Empyrean Seals, & Void Shards
	Void Chest #4	Crafting Materials
	Void Chest #5	Blueprints
	Void Chest #6	Consumables
	Void Chest #7	Items (Higher chance for Morality Relics)
	Void Chest #8	Items (Higher chance for Ancient Relics)
	Void Chest #9	Items (Higher chance for Archeotech Relics)

There are 2 types of secret missions scattered across the Void Crusade map - Hidden and Covert missions. These have special unlock conditions and give a neat bonus to players completing them:

• Hidden Missions need to be unlocked first by completing certain basic Missions
• Covert Missions are unlocked by completing special events completed in Hidden and Bonus missions.
• Completing all 3 Bonus Missions grants the player +2 extra lives
• Hidden & Covert Missions contribute to the Loot Modifiers greatly, so it is always worth to do them!

Every map completed on the Void Crusade has 3 modifiers:

• End Loot Bonus: Increases the quantity of loot within the Supreme Void Chest
• Mission Loot Rarity Bonus: Increases the chance for higher quality drops during missions
• Mission Loot Quality Bonus: Increases rolled enchant values on dropped items

The bravest of Inquisitors can apply Tarot Cards to these missions, further increasing the rewards gained from individual missions (Tarot Cards do not modify the stacking loot bonus on the Void Crusade map). However, players should be aware of the two following factors:

• Failing a mission will make that whole branch of the Void Crusade unavailable
• Dying six times in total fails the entire Void Crusade map, which needs to be relaunched afterwards from new Shards.

Wandering Servoskull During Void Crusades, players may encounter a Wandering Servoskull. The presence of a Servoskull is indicated by a special icon on the Void Crusade map when the player arrives to a nearby mission. Within the mission, the player will receive a message when the encounter with the Servoskull starts. The Servoskull tries to escape fast, and the player has a limited time to defeat it before the Servoskull disappears. If succesful, the player is rewarded with high quality loot, increased mission loot bonuses, and an extra Void Chest Key. The location of the Wandering Servoskull is picked at random when a Void Crusade is generated, and it also randomly spawns on various spots within missions.

Hardcore Void Crusade

Players can launch a Hardcore Void Crusade - however, this will increase the Shard requirement from 5 to 7 Void Shards. Within a Hardcore Crusade, players have only one life, one opportunity to pull off a perfect run, as the Crusade is instantly failed after the first death. The mechanics that give extra lives for players (completing Bonus missions, for example) are locked in Hardcore mode and do not work.

Of course, as the stakes are higher, the rewards that go with a Hardcore Crusade are increased as well. Players receive a whopping 50% bonus for all loot bonuses within a Hardcore Void Crusade.

The Challenge system is a quick and simple way for Inquisitors to earn some additional bonus loot. Players will receive a new Challenge every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and upon completing a challenge, players will receive bonus loot.

• Players can have 5 active Challenges up at once.
• If a Player does not have a free Challenge slot, they will do not receive a new Challenge
• Players will be able to swap a Challenge a day to a new one in a future update
• Challenges are displayed on the right side panel of the GUI
• Completing a challenge gifts players with powerful loot with a chance to receive Archeotech Relics. If a player does not receive an Archeotech Relic from a Challenge, the chance to receive one increases greatly with the next Challenge. Therefore, Challenges will be a reliable source of Archeotech Relics.
• Challenges also give players a high amount of experience, similar to that of a Tarot mission.

Currently available Challenges:

1. Complete 2 missions in a row, at least 4 Levels higher than your Character Level without dying
2. Complete 3 missions in a row, at least on the same Level as your Character Level without dying
3. Complete 2 missions in a row, at least 4 Levels higher than your Character Level without using Belt or Armour skills

The Warzone now has a hundred random missions to increase variety, but the Leaderboards will work similarly than before.

The First stage of the Warzone in progress

• A total of 100 Warzone maps are implemented.
• New tilesets are available: Deathworld, Desert, Monastery, and Factory.
• These are grouped into ten blocks of ten missions with a mini-story that links them together.
• Every mission will have Warzone Hazards, with one Hazard for the first 20 missions, then two for the next 20, and so on.
• The last mission of every Warzone mission group will have an extra difficulty modifier.
• Failing a Warzone mission group will result in having to start that block of 10 missions over.
• The Warzone GUI has been reworked to accomodate these changes.
• Favour has been removed along with the Warzone Vendor.

Warzone Hazards:
These apply to the specific monster type mentioned in the header of the table.

Intels can be found occassionally from the standard loot system, appearing as items in the player's Inventory. Using an Intel opens a brand new mission on the Starmap, which of course will appear on the Mission Deployment window as well. These missions will be distinguished on the Starmap as well.

The level of the Intel Mission is determined when the item drops for the player as such:

• Same level: 40% chance
• +1 level: 20% chance
• +2 levels: 20% chance
• +3 levels: 20% chance

Each of these missions will have difficulty modifiers, based on Warzone Hazards. Each difficulty modifier is applied a bonus loot value - but the base rewards of the intel missions will be a lot better on its own as well than regular open world mission rewards.

The number of difficulty modifiers is rolled as such:

• 1x diff. modifier: 10%
• 2x diff. modifiers: 30%
• 3x diff. modifiers: 30%
• 4x diff. modifiers: 20%
• 5x diff. modifiers: 10%

Loot bonuses include:

• A chance to increase to Relic drop rates at the expense of lower tier items
• Raising the minimum base and enchant values on dropped items
• A chance per every item drop chance that another item will be dropped with the same chances
• Greatly increased Archeotech Shard drop chances
• Greatly increased Psalm-Code drop chances

You can apply Tarot Cards to these missions as well.

Weekly Buffs are rotating mini-events that take place in the Caligari Sector each week. With each freshly activated buff, players will gain an advantage in different activities. Weekly Buffs reset on Mondays with Glory.

Players can now farm Reputation for three different Ordos: Ordo Xenos, Ordo Hereticus, and Ordo Malleus. Completing Ordo missions boosts the player's Reputation to that specific Ordo, and unlocks certain perks. Each Ordo has their own store where players can buy unique items. Ordo stores reset weekly. Players can access the Ordo panel from the Hub by interacting with the Herald Cherub NPC.

The Ordo Interface is unlocked after encountering all three Ordos during the Prophecy campaign.

NOTE: Ordos are exclusive content to the Prophecy expansion.

Hunt down these Revenants and Empyrean Elites with extreme prejudice and send them back into the Sea of Souls where they belong. Then embark on a Crusade in the Void and reap your well-deserved rewards.

Season 3 - The Season of the Emyprean Echoes

New Quality of Life features (affecting the whole game, regardless of Seasons):

Seasonal Mechanics

Bodycount Bar

• Killing Champion, Commander, Villain, and Elite enemies fills up the Bodycount bar up to its maximum value of 250 points
  • Champion enemies: 1 point
  • Commander enemies: 3 points
  • Villain enemies: 5 points
  • Elite enemies: 10 points
  • Revenant enemies: Double points

Empyrean Elites

Upon reaching 250 Bodycount points, an Empyrean Elite spawns nearby. It's going to be hard to miss...

• Empyrean Elites are extremely strong and match the enemy subset of each mission when they spawn
• There are 19 different Empyrean Elites to hunt down
• Empyrean Elites can drop Seasonal Loot
• Empyrean Elites always Drop Empyrean Sliver, a special, new Seasonal Currency. Each Seasonal Tier completed increases the dropped amount by 1.
• Empyrean Elites unlock the Empyrean Key, an unique Void key that can be used to open an extra Void Chest
• In Multiplayer, when an Empyrean Elite spawns, the other players' Bodycount bar is paused until the Empyrean Elite has been defeated and continues to be paused for 10 more seconds afterwards
• All players in Multiplayer have individual Bodycount progress

Revenant Enemies

Besides Empyrean Elites, players will be able to meet other strong adversaries known as Revenants.

• Each Villain, Commander, and Elite enemy has 25% chance to spawn as a Revenant enemy when a mission loads
• In Void Crusades, this chance is 100%
• Revenant enemies are 15% stronger (HP/Damage) than their normal versions
• There are 47 Revenant enemies to hunt down
• Revenant enemies are worth double value on the Bodycount bar

Empyrean Sliver & Stashes

Empyrean Elites drop a special new Currency, Empyrean Sliver. Players can spend this new currency at Ragna Van Wynter's Shop to buy 3 types of Seasonal Loot Stash.

Seasonal Tiers Completed grant an increasing discount to these Stashes. See the Seasonal Loot table below to see what's inside them!

Empyrean Echo Spells

As players fight their way through missions to fill the Bodycount bar, various Empyrean spells are cast from within the Warp. These spells are divided into 3 tiers, each occurring less frequently than the previous one. These spells are tied to Bodycount value triggers, so the bigger the carnage, the more frequent are these spells triggered.

Empyrean Tech-Shrine

• Every shrine has a 35% chance to be converted to a Seasonal Shrine that can either spawn a Revenant Commander, or drop high quality loot and grant a buff that deals 300% Weapon Damage to nearby players for 60 seconds.

Killstreak Bonuses

Since many Seasonal items are built around Killstreaks, here is a list of all Killstreak bonuses. All Killstreaks last for 10 seconds:

Seasonal Loot Table

Here you can find the chances and sources for various Seasonal items. These values are valid before difficulty/loot bonus modifiers apply.

Seasonal Items

Of course, no new Season is complete without new rewards - we have added 16 new Seasonal items with brand new Relic enchants to help you synergize your build around the new Seasonal Mechanics.

	Fortitude of the Mechanicus Radium Carbine/Omnissian Axe Constructs Deal 30-40% more Damage when you have a Killstreak effect active
	Bane of the Unworthy Signum 20% chance on hit to cause generic Vulnerability
	Executioner's Celerity Digital Weapons Gain 20% Supreme Movement Speed for 10 seconds upon triggering a Killstreak Effect
	Infinity Rosarius Force Field 40-60% chance to gain a charge per Killstreak

	Battlemaster's Longevity Eye Implant Killing a Champion enemy extends the currently active Killstreak effect by 1 second
	Seal of the Stalwart Purity Seal 15% Supreme Damage Reduction while you have a Killstreak effect active

The following Relic Enchants can only be rolled on weapons dropped during the Season of Emyprean Echoes:

• +10-30% Supreme Crit Chance vs. Emyprean Elite & Elite enemies
• Killing an Empyrean Elite triggers the Total Destruction Killstreak Effect

The following Relic Enchants can only be rolled on armor dropped during the Season of the Void Brethren:

• +25-35% Damage Reduction against Empyrean Elites. A third of this value applies against Elites as well
• 10-15% chance to cast a Warp Nova when struck

The following Relic Enchants can be rolled on any items dropped during the Season of the Void Brethren:

• Character Level / 2 % chance for double Bodycount value gain on kill. Does not stack
• 100% Critical Hit chance for 2-4 seconds after triggering an Empyrean Echo spell

Emyprean Echo Shard

The new Seasonal Shards work against the new enemy types as well as increase Loot Quality:

Our goal with Season 4 was to shake up the enemy pool and drive players to alternate between normal and endgame game modes while hunting down the dozens of new, stronger adversaries.

The new Seasonal Journey reflects this as well, with new objectives and new rewards! Obliterate the heretics and gain new Portrait frames and Trophies!

The Caligari sector is beset by a new threat, a newly formed Chaos cult called the Void Brethren. Previously just an inconsequential cabal of void pirate gangs, they have been bestowed upon the blessings of Nurgle, a horrid gift that gives them power beyond mere mortals. With their ships they carry this gift far and wide, absorbing the dregs of the Imperium into their ranks. Other pirate gangs, fledgling cults, criminals and deserters, the Void Brethren grow stronger each day. The Caligari Conclave can ignore them no longer, they must be stamped out before their filth spreads too far.

Season 3 - The Season of the Void Brethren

New Quality of Life features (affecting the whole game, regardless of Seasons):

Seasonal Mechanics

Thunderbolt of Authority

• Dealing and taking hits, as well as using your Inoculator now grant a chance to cast a Chain Lightning that hits the closest enemy target and jumps to the next 2 enemies, dealing damage. Thunderbolt of Authority has a 15-meter range, and deals 500+CharacterLevel*50 damage. Every jump halves the damage caused. Also, every cast of ToA breaks destructible objects in a small radius (5m) around the player. ToA has an internal Cooldown of 2 seconds that can be reduced with the various new items.
• To increase your chances of casting ToA, you can use the new Seasonal Shards.

Seasonal Missions

Of course, Seasonal Missions had to play an integral part in the gameplay of Inquisitor, so we have decided to spice it up a little by adding in 59 new seasonal maps, divided into 3 tiers:

• Tier 1 - "Basic" Seasonal missions, each having a 50% chance of spawning a Pirate Spoil Trove
• Tier 2 - Tougher, "Advanced" Seasonal missions, each containing 3 Pirate Spoil Troves
• Tier 3 - "Boss" maps, with a new enemy, the Soul Grinder, with each map containing 5 Pirate Spoil Troves

How to reach these maps?

• To enter Seasonal Missions, the players need to collect Void Brethren Insignias. These Insignias can be looted from high ranking Pirate officers, destructible objects, Void Plunder Caches, and of course the Soul Grinder.
• You can use these Insignias on any mission as they are Empyrean Seals. When you use an Insignia on a mission, the mission will transform into a Void Pirate mission based on the type of the insignia you have used.

Players can loot and use 3 types of Void Brethren Insignias:

Void Brethren Insignia I Can grant missions from 2 tiers, with a low chance of granting Tier 2 maps. (25%)	Void Brethren Insignia II Can grant only Tier 2 and Tier 3 missions (85/15% chance)	Void Brethren Insignia III Can only grant Boss type missions.

What can I find within these Seasonal Missions?

	Contraband Servoskull Contraband Servoskulls can spawn instead of Villain type enemies, and work in a similar way to Void Crusade Servoskulls, e.g. you have a limited timeframe to kill them before they disappear. These grant you a stack of the Bounty of the Void Brethren buff and have a high chance of dropping Void Plunder Keys.
	Pirate Spoil Trove (Locked) These are special chests that can be found on Seasonal missions only (the higher tier the mission, the more of these you can find). You can only open these chests with Void Plunder keys, the main source of which are going to be Contraband Servoskulls. These contain a lot of high quality items including Seasonal items. If you do not have the key to the Cache, you will spawn enemies upon interacting with it.
	Void Plunder Cache These are the "regular" seasonal chests that can spawn instead of normal chests on every mission. Guarding them is Spoil Warden Kilgers who has a moderate chance of dropping Seasonal items and Void Plunder Keys.

Pilfered Tech-Shrine

• Every shrine has a 35% chance to be converted to a Seasonal Shrine that will always spawn a Contraband Servoskull upon interaction.

Bounty of the Void Brethren By completing Seasonal Missions, or killing the Contraband Servoskull, you gain the Bounty of the Void Brethren. The Bounty is a special buff that lasts for 3 missions or until death and it can stack to 5.

One stack of the Bounty of the Void Brethren grants the player

• +20% Chance for Relic or better items
• +10% Chance for Void Brethren Insignia drops
• +15 Base Damage

Seasonal Loot Table

Here you can find the chances and sources for various Seasonal items. These values are valid before difficulty/loot bonus modifiers apply.

Of course, no new Season is complete without new rewards - we have added 26 new Seasonal items with brand new Relic enchants to help you synergize your build around the new Seasonal Mechanics.

	Signum of Rampage Signum 20% chance for ToA to reset its cooldown upon a critical strike
	Tempest's Wrath Deflector Field Generator, Digital Weapons, Fabricator Scatter Field ToA applies general Vulnerability on hit
	Touch of the Void Stun Grenade, Stun Mine 25-40% chance to trigger ToA upon hitting enemies with the Stun gadget
	Genetor's Redeem Inoculator ToA has a 1-2% chance to trigger the Inoculator for free
	Reach of the Storm Neural Implant ToA only loses 25% damage per jump, +1 jump count
	Spoil Warden's Bane Main Implant +20% to trigger ToA when there is an energy shield active
	Fulgur's Alacrity Main Implant 20-50% cooldown reduction for ToA
	Gaze of Doom Eye Implant +50% jump range for ToA, +1.3-1.75 damage multiplier
	Acolyte's Heed Purity Seal ToA restores 2-5% health for every enemy hit
	Harbinger of Refuge Purity Seal ToA grants 1% Supreme All Resist and 1% Supreme Damage Reduction on hit for 2 seconds. Stacks.

The following Relic Enchants can only be rolled on weapons dropped during the Season of the Void Brethren:

• 30-75% damage bonus for ToA, +1 jump count (1 handed)
• 60-150% damage bonus for ToA, +1 jump count (2 handed)
• ToA causes 5 stacks of Burn
• ToA gains 200-350% damage bonus against Elite, Villain, and Boss type enemies (2 handed)

The following Relic Enchants can only be rolled on armor dropped during the Season of the Void Brethren:

• +50% of the Hero's reflect chance is added to your chance to trigger ToA on hit taken
• ToA grants 50-550 Energy Shield Charge on hit

The following Relic Enchants can be rolled on any items dropped during the Season of the Void Brethren:

• Restores 20% of maximum Suppression on triggering ToA by taking hits
• +66% Crit damage for ToA

Magistratus Shard

The new Seasonal Shards increase the chance to cast ToA:

Our goal with Season 3 was to create an interesting and rewarding gameplay flow, as players can encounter Seasonal enemies on basic missions, and from the items they acquire from these enemies, they can open up new, more challenging missions with unique fights and rewards.

The new Seasonal Journey reflects this as well, with new objectives and new rewards! Obliterate the heretic Void Brethren and gain new Portrait frames and Trophies!

Welcome to the Warp Surge

Our main design goals for Season 2 were to implement the feedback we received during Inferno from the players into the new Season, while creating mechanics that encourage players to constantly adapt and react to the changing events on the field of battle. Therefore we came up with the idea of Warp Anomalies that appear during missions, each providing a different bonus that you can benefit from. But beware! The warp is treacherous and the price of toying with such power may be high.

• Creating a Seasonal Character means a fresh start for every player
• Seasonal Characters can not interact with non-seasonal characters in any way but the chat
• Seasonal Characters benefit from various Seasonal Mechanics
• Seasonal Characters can receive Season-only items
• Seasonal Characters can find Season-only random missions on the Starmap
• Seasonal Characters are distinguished by the  icon in chat and near the portrait frame, and by various indicators in the Main Menu
• At the end of the Season, all Seasonal Characters become regular, non-season characters along with all their items and other possessions.

Warp Anomalies will pop up as you progress through the missions. Most of them have combined effects on the player, meaning that you can gain an advantage if you interact with them, but they will also have negative effects on the side, such as damage, or other, more mysterious effects.

Here are the anomalies you will be able to meet during your travels:

Further Season Mechanics and itemization

Besides the Warp Anomalies, our goal was to create an array of Seasonal Items that draw power and utility from Warp Anomalies while staying useful outside of Warp environments. With this vision, we created 15 new Seasonal Items with unique enchants, and along with them, 6 new Relic Enchants independent from items, meaning they can be rolled on any freshly obtained Seasonal items.

Here is the full list of Seasonal items and enchants that you can find during the Season of the Warp Surge:

	Storms of Judgement Heavy Bolter Picking up a Corpus Fleck grants you [Suppression Damage * 0.1]% Lifesteal for 10 seconds; Picking up an Elemental Fleck grants you 40-60% Suppression Damage for 10 seconds
	Hell's Gullet Chainsword or Eviscerator 30-40% Chance on kill to gain an Inoculator charge
	Siren's Storm Death Cult Blade Using the Phasing Assault skill has a 50% chance to trigger a Shock Nova on arrival
	The Dark Maw Warp Rod 15-35% [Based on ilvl] chance to apply Slow, [Enchant/2 %] chance to apply Stun on Warp damage hits
	Omicron's Enigma Omnissian Axe +2.5% All Resist for each active Construct
	Desperation's Futility Signum 10-20% Reduced Warp Damage taken
	Celtor's Flux Rosarius Force Field Killing an enemy extends the duration of the Rosarius field by 0.5 seconds, up to the maximum duration of 10 seconds
	Warpsmith's Fury Personal Teleporter Using the Personal Teleporter gives you a 200% damage bonus for 2 seconds.
	Vortex of Rapidity Digital Weapons Picking up Warp Flecks you +25% movement speed for 10 seconds [stacks up to 100%]
	Refugee's Wail Inoculator 40-60% to gain a personal Void Shield [ilvl * 35 amount] upon using the Inoculator
	The Bleak Coil Neural Implant Killing an enemy increases XP gained by 2% for 5 seconds. Stacks up to 20 times.
	Heart of Darkness Main Implant 10% Chance on Hit taken to cause Blind around the player and to gain 1 berserk token
	Vortex of Despair Eye Implant Upon interacting with a Warp anomaly gain an aura and cause 150% Weapon Damage as Warp damage every second for 12 seconds. Stacks up to 5 times.
	Annihilus Seal Purity Seal Interacting with a Warp Anomaly gives Focused state for 20 seconds

The following Relic Enchants can only be rolled on weapons dropped during the Season of the Warpsurge:

• 50% of All Damage is Converted to Warp Damage
• 5-10% chance on hit : All strikes are guaranteed critical strikes for the next 3 seconds [8 seconds internal cooldown]

The following Relic Enchants can only be rolled on armor dropped during the Season of the Warpsurge:

• Interacting with Warp Anomalies increases Loot Rarity from Monsters by 5% for 15 seconds. Stacks up to 5 times.
• Getting a Massacre Bonus grants an Inoculator charge (this applies to Killstreak and Massacre)

The following Relic Enchants can be rolled on any items dropped during the Season of the Warpsurge:

• Picking up Warp Flecks also increases your movement speed by 15% for 35 seconds
• 20-30% chance (scaling to 40-50% on level 100) to Spawn a Warp Fleck on killing a Champion enemy

The following Relic Enchants can only be rolled on Melee Weapons dropped during the Season of the Warpsurge:

• Interacting with Warp Zones creates a Gravity Well, pulling up to 5 nearby enemies to melee range

Of course, a new Season required a new Shard as well, so we added a new Warp Shard into the game, which grants the players Supreme Warp Resist, Warp Damage, or Warp Reflect, depending on where they use them.

The Seasonal Journey was altered a bit as well, based on player feedback as we tweaked around the more tedious tasks and added some new, Warp themed ones to fit the bill of the new Season.

Warp-tainted Missions

A completely fresh addition to the new Season will be an unique mission type, named Warp-tainted Missions. These missions can spawn if the player uses Intels, which now have a 33% chance to spawn Warp-tainted missions, now indicated in their tooltip as well. These missions will have unique terrain elements and effects to them, and of course the rewards for completing such missions will not be scarce.

Within these missions, unique Warp Gate anomalies can occur where the player will encounter new enemies from the Void.

Warp Chests

Loot chests will appear randomly during Warp-tainted missions, and players will have to scramble to find them before they disappear into the Warp - only to reappear again somewhere else on that map! These chests have a 30 second timer, which is also displayed above them.

Warp Shrines

Just like in the previous season, Shrines across all missions will have a 35% chance to transform into Warp Shrines, granting players the Veil of Carnage bonus for 30 seconds.

Unlock unique rewards

Unlock 4 unique portrait frames, and bolster your Trophy Desk with swirling Empyrean Rifts as rewards for your Seasonal Journey. These will be visible to other players as well so they will know you have done a great service for the Emperor.

It is time, Inquisitors, to prepare for the upcoming Warp Surge… the Inferno has now been reduced to cinders and ashes thanks to your effort, but soon enough you will face a new, darker challenge arising from the void - the Warp Surge is upon us!

Seasonal ladders are an iconic element of modern ARPGs, and we are excited to announce this new feature coming to Inquisitor. Ladders are built around a key theme, which will affect gameplay in- and outside of combat. New buffs and spells, challenging quests and exciting rewards await - who will be the one to ascend the highest on the ladder and complete all Tier Objectives?

Welcome to the Inferno

Season of the Inferno will be built around one of the most primal elements - fire. Are you going to strike down on the enemies of the Emperor with righteous flame, or will you be the one to be burned? This is for you to decide. The fiery theme will be present across the entire game for ladder characters, from the selection screen to the deepest, Nurgle-infested nests.

• Creating a Seasonal Character means a fresh start for every player
• Seasonal Characters can not interact with non-seasonal characters in any way but the chat
• Seasonal Characters benefit from various Seasonal Mechanics
• Seasonal Characters can receive Season-only items
• Seasonal Characters can find Season-only random missions on the Starmap
• Seasonal Characters are distinguished by the  icon in chat and near the portrait frame, and by various indicators in the Main Menu
• At the end of the Season, all Seasonal Characters become regular, non-season characters along with all their items and other possessions.

Seasonal Mechanics

• Inferno: Your attacks have a 5% chance to ignite enemies and cause 10% weapon damage/s for 5 seconds. This chance is increased by 4% with every completed Seasonal Tier.
  
  
• Blaze of Glory: Killing Ignited enemies or Exploding enemies grants you a stack of Blaze of Glory. 1 Stack gives the player 2% Movement Speed, 5 Heat Resistance, and 10 Hp Regeneration. Stacks up to 5 times.
  
  
• Explosion: 15% of all Normal and Horde type enemies explode when killed. This deals 30% of their maximum HP within a radius and an additional 10% of their maximum HP per second for 3 seconds in the same area.
  
  
• Shrines: All Shrines across maps have a 3% chance to turn into Inferno Shrines. While under the effect of an Inferno Shrine (60 seconds), all slain enemies explode.
  
  
• Seasonal Weekly Buff: +5% Heat Resist and +5% Heat Damage. This applies to Season and Non-Season characters as well.

Seasonal Items

During their Season adventures, players may receive unique, Season-only items with enchantments tailored to fit the fiery menace of the Inferno. There are several such items added to the Season, and some of them are rewarded within Tier Objective caches as well.

Seasonal Enchants

Besides Seasonal Items, there are a few Relic Enchants that can be rolled on any items for Seasonal Characters:

• Hellraiser (Tech Adept Weapons): All Construct Heat attacks apply Inferno on Hit with a 15% chance
• Fiery Wrath (Weapons): 10% Damage bonus against enemies affected by Inferno
• Glow (Signums): Enemies have halved resistances against heat attacks

It is important to note that with the Season update, numerous new enchants become available for Season and non-Season chaaracters alike. One of these is a 10-15% XP bonus enchant that can be rolled on any of the items to make leveling a lot easier. For the full list of new enchants and balance changes, head to the changelog.

Archeotech Shards

In Season of the Inferno, we have introduced the Inferno Shard. Each tier starts dropping after completing the corresponding Seasonal Tier. After completing each Seasonal Tier, players receive one Shard, and from that point on, that level of the Shard starts dropping from various ingame sources.

Seasonal Tier Objectives

As you progress through your Seasonal Journey, you'll have to complete various objectives. You can keep track of these by pressing Shift+J or opening the Seasonal Window from the right side widget. Completing all of the objectives in a Season Tier will net you various rewards, including guaranteed Season-only items from Tier III onwards. Each tier rewards the player with a Skull that they can display at the Command Bridge on their Trophy Desk.
