↖ Boltcaster

• What's New: Boltcaster got a makeover with its passive 'Bolt Bolt', upping your damage every third shot. It's a mix of power-up and nerf, but overall, it's a damage fiesta waiting to happen.
• Best Upgrades: Still a bit of a mystery, but keen perks are your go-to. Keep an eye out for 'Cly Jacked' for more consistent dot uptime.
• Farming Spot: Annoyed Auaa Wasia on Aisle of Z. It's a hot farming spot, so gear up for some competition!

 

↖ Deep Freeze

• What's Cool Now: Deep Freeze got a pleasant surprise with a buff in damage against frozen, rooted, and shielded enemies. It's loaded with solid perks like vicious and refreshing move.
• Upgrade Options: It's a playground of choices here. Depending on your style, go for Pylon Burst, Empowered Spike, or Attunement.
• Where to Find: Ice Troll in the new dungeon. Pro tip: Many just farm the first boss and bail, so plan accordingly.

 

↖ Vengeance

• The Odd One Out: Vengeance remains a peculiar mix of damage and healing. If you're into a hybrid playstyle, this is your pick.
• Recommended Upgrades: 'Blessed' or 'Savior' could be your best bet for some healing boost. But it's all about how you want to swing it.
• Farming Method: PvP track, so get ready to show some muscle!

 

↖ Gladiator

• Not Much to Cheer About: Honestly, Gladiator didn't get much love. It's not the best in the shed, so maybe skip upgrading this one.
• Where to Farm: Tribunal Ice MTH in the southeast of Elian Wilds. Though, why you'd want to is a mystery!

 

↖ Koya's Knee Guards

• A Tough Catch: These knee guards are a bit of a mixed bag. They're claimed to reduce incoming ranged attack damage, but the jury's still out on the actual effectiveness.
• Upgrade Tips: 'Health' seems like a safe choice, but 'Sheering Heals' could also be a contender.
• Farming Frustration: Outpost Rush caches, and it's a bit of a grind, so patience is key.

 

↖ Quickdraw Gloves

• Unique Appeal: They offer damage immunity for 0.5 seconds after weapon swap. A niche pick, but could be a gem for healers.
• Smart Upgrade: 'Health' is usually the way to go here.
• How to Get: Season pass, level 100. Keep climbing that ladder!

 

↖ Winged Leather Shoes

• Not the Best Bet: These shoes don't seem to offer much. They're available at level 20 of the season pass, but don't sweat it if you miss them.
• Possible Upgrade: If you do bother, 'Health' is probably your default choice.

 

↖ The Unmoved

• Jury's Still Out: Haven't fully tested these yet. They promise immovability, but it's unclear how effective they are.
• Probable Upgrade: 'Health', as usual, seems like a good addition.
• Where to Get: PvP track again, so brace for some battle!

 

↖ Inferno

• Now Hotter Than Ever: Inferno got a nice little buff, especially for INT builds. It's more suited for damage now than strength.
• Optimal Upgrade: 'Empowering Fireball' could be your go-to for that extra punch.

 

↖ Odo

A Small Change: Now also affects knocked-down enemies. It's a niche item, but if it suits your style, why not?
