The Butcher and the Only Unique Item in the Diablo 4 Beta?

Unique items are a higher tier than legendaries in Diablo 4, and we've only seen one drop in the entirety of the Beta so far, and it comes from everyone's favorite boss, the Butcher! Well, not everyone's favorite, as hardcore players have been having a very rough time with the red one as he just comes in and they have no real chance of escaping. 4 comments Mar 19, 2023 at 18:34 by Starym

Legendary Aspect Dungeon Location Guide on the Diablo 4 Beta

Here's another very handy map that shows off all the aspects (aka legendary powers) you can get for your codex from each dungeon in the Diablo 4 beta! While you can see which aspect comes from which dungeon in the actual game itself, it can be annoying to hover over each and every one looking for one for your class, so Gilldan went ahead and marked all of them and listed which class can get their aspect in which dungeon! 2 comments Mar 19, 2023 at 05:57 by Starym

This is what betas are all about if you ask me: hilarious bugs that are pretty useful as well! ARPGs are well known for the item grind, but it seems Diablo 4 has found a pretty easy solution to that - just let players infinitely loot 1 corpse, as spotted by MedicTree2!
