We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our new season, "Outlaw", coming your way on July 17, 2025, at 7PM (PDT).

Dive into the details below and be sure to experience the changes firsthand in-game once the update goes live.

Note: These patch notes are still a work in progress. Please note that some elements are still being fine-tuned for the final release.

I. New Gameplay and Content

Seasonal Mechanic: Outlaw

• Carjack: Transport Vehicles will now appear in stages. Before Timemark 7, they appear randomly; at Timemark 7 and above, they are guaranteed to appear. Interact with a vehicle to start the heist.
• Security Crackdown: Transport Bodyguards will try to evacuate with valuable TOWER Supply Caches. Your job is to hunt them down. When you defeat a bodyguard, their cache calls in waves of Reinforcements.
  • Chase the Bodyguards: These units will try to flee. Defeat them to make them drop valuable supply crates.
  • Fight the Reinforcements: These units will attack you directly. Defeat them for immediate rewards that drop on the ground. The faster you clear them, the more loot you get.
• Black Market Bounties: Attacking TOWER transports will increase your Crime Rating. The higher your rating, the more notorious you become, unlocking access to Black Market Bounties. These are optional objectives that add extra challenges to your runs, like killing a certain number of elites within the time limit. Completing them grants bonus rewards.
• Central Vault: Once you've stockpiled enough TOWER Coins from your runs, you can finance a high-stakes heist on the Central Vault. This is the boss run of the season
• Hot Streak: Intercepting Transport Vehicles can yield TOWER Tokens. Use these tokens to participate in high-risk, high-reward gambles on your currency and gear.
  • Gambling on Currency: You could bet a token on a stack of Fluorescent Memory. You might multiply that stack several times over for a huge profit... or you could lose the entire thing in an instant.
  • Gambling on Destinies: The stakes get even higher with your Fates. You can gamble a token on an Undetermined Fate for a chance to instantly upgrade a Micro Destiny Slot into three Medium Destiny Slots. It's a massive power boost if you hit, but if you fail, you're left with nothing.
  • Gambling on Gear: Hot Streak also lets you take huge risks with your equipment, and this works on various rarities of powerful gear.

As Torchlight: Infinite's SS9 season "Outlaw" rolls out, players can dive into thrilling new features like Carjack missions, TOWER Supply Caches, Black Market Bounties, and high-stakes gambling systems via Hot Streak. Whether you're chasing bodyguards or wagering your fate and gear, this season is all about risk and reward. To maximize your loot and get ahead in the black market economy, don’t forget to Buy Torchlight Infinite Flame Elementium and stay one step ahead of the law.

New System: TOWER Sequence Crafting

We're introducing TOWER Sequences, a powerful new system for non-Legendary Weapons and Shields.

Through the Outlaw seasonal gameplay, you can obtain special supplies called "Mods." These can be used to add powerful "TOWER Sequence" affixes to your non-Legendary weapons. These provide not only rich stats but also build-defining mechanics, some of which replicate effects from iconic Legendary gear.

III. Gameplay and Drop Adjustments and Optimizations

General Gameplay Adjustments

• A new "Camera Follow" option has been added to the Battle settings. When enabled, the camera will track player movement more smoothly during non-Blink mobility skills. This option can be disabled in the settings menu and is enabled by default.

• Developer's Note on Explosion Affixes: We found that "chance to explode on kill" affixes felt weak without significant investment in Area of Effect, while builds that already had high AoE didn't need them. To make these affixes more universally useful and consistent, we are changing how they work.

   

  • Their base area has been increased, but they no longer scale with Skill Area bonuses. Their damage has been adjusted to compensate.

  • This change affects the following sources:

     

    • Ultimate Chest Armor Pre-fix
    • Legendary Gear: Flying Bird, Memory, Hunting the Eye of the Kraken, Troublemaker, Praise for Injury, and Restless Glacier
    • Dual Kismet: Evil Flame
    • Hero Trait: Unholy Baptism (Oracle Thea|Blasphemer)
• To better align the difficulty of side content with the core Netherrealm progression, monsters in zones like Aeterna, Nightmare, Mistville, and the Snowfield will now have +100% Additional Life and +50% Additional Damage.
• The values of resistance-countering negative affixes found in the final Netherrealm Reverberation have been reduced by 33%.

Game Balancing

To ensure the long-term health of the game's ecosystem and maintain diverse gameplay, we follow these core principles for balance adjustments:

• Targeted Adjustments: For core mechanics or builds that have maintained a significant power advantage over multiple seasons, we will make necessary adjustments based on detailed data analysis and player feedback to ensure overall balance and a diverse meta.
• Consistent Content Updates: We will continuously bring fresh content to all players—including new mechanics, gear, and strategic paths—to constantly expand build options and inspire creativity.
• Buffing Underused Builds: We will periodically evaluate and strengthen underperforming or low-usage build components to help them regain competitiveness and allow a wider variety of playstyles to shine.

Drop Adjustments

• To enhance drop diversity, the variety of stack sizes for currency has been increased.

   

  • Ember can now be obtained in stacks of 1, 5, 10, 20, or 50.
  • Sacred Fossil can now be obtained in stacks of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.
• Developer's Note: To improve the excitement of finding a Secret Realm, we have reduced their spawn probability while significantly increasing the quantity of their rewards.

Confusion Cards

• Added a new Confusion Card: "Narrow," which grants "+20%/40% Additional Compass Drop Quantity."
• Added new Confusion Cards related to the Sandlord gameplay mechanic.

Netherrealm & Deep Space

• Developer's Note: We feel the rewards in Deep Space currently don't match its high difficulty. To make this content more appealing, we're making the following drop adjustments:

   

  • The drop rate of Green Sprout in Deep Space has been increased by +200%.
  • The Legendary item "Immolating Flame" will now only drop in Deep Space difficulty stages.
  • The Fire Zone exclusive Fluorescent Memory has been renamed to "Helio Rock."

• Developer's Note: We believe that Level 21 Active Skills dropping globally is too common and reduces long-term chase goals.

   

  • Level 21 Active Skill gems will no longer drop directly from mobs in the Netherrealm.
  • Level 21 Active Skills can now only be obtained by exchanging the Fluorescent Memory "Helio Rock."

Netherrealm Talent Constellation

• Profound Talent Constellation:

   

  • Added Major Node: "If no Compass is placed when opening a Netherrealm stage, there is a 25% chance for 2 additional random Bosses to appear."
  • Added Major Node: "When allocating points in non-gameplay Talent Constellations, activating nodes no longer requires activating prerequisite nodes. In Netherrealm stages, -50% additional drop quantity."
  • Added Major Node: "When opening a Netherrealm stage, if no Legendary rarity Compass is consumed, it is considered as if no Compass was consumed."

• Beacon Talent Constellation:

   

  • Removed Medium Node: "In Netherrealm stages, Beacons have a 2% chance to Upgrade."
  • Added Medium Node: "Stages have a 3% chance to contain a group of Queen's Disciples; defeating them has a chance to drop Beacons."

• General Talent Constellation:

   

  • Added Medium Node: "Netherrealm stages have an 11% chance to spawn 2 additional random Bosses; Bosses take 50% less Damage."
  • Added Node: "When opening a Netherrealm stage, if there are no less than 6 weak Base Affixes, the stage has a 50% chance to spawn 2 additional random Bosses, -100% Drop quantity, Bosses take 50% less Damage."
  • The node granting a chance for Rare monsters to drop additional Precious/Legendary Gear has been changed. This effect now applies to Bosses instead of Rare monsters.
• A new Sandlord Talent Constellation has been added.

Compasses

• Developer's Note: Some Rare-quality gameplay Compasses have not achieved their expected effect. We have decided to remove the following: "Flourishing Might Compass," "Mecha Might Compass," "Brilliant Mechanical Compass," "Cruising Mechanical Compass," and "Collection Doll Compass."
• Added a new "Sandlord Compass" and "Boss Compass."

Game Mechanic Adjustments

Goddess of Hunting

• Developer's Note: We want to make the Goddess of Hunting a more attractive strategy for farming Compasses. To achieve this, we've added more Talent Nodes that affect "Plane Watcher Treasure Chests" and "Traveler Treasure Chests," allowing players to obtain large amounts of Ecliptic Compasses from them.

Cube

• Developer's Note: We believe the experience of getting Flame Sand from the Cube is not ideal. Therefore, certain types of Cubes of Craving that could contain Flame Sand will no longer appear.

Aeterna

• Increased the health and attack power of monsters in the smaller Aeterna areas.

Nightmare

• To enrich the drop experience, Dream Talking can now be obtained in stacks of 1, 3, 5, 10, or 20.
• Increased the health and attack power of monsters within Nightmare maps.

Mistville

• Increased the health and attack power of monsters in Mistville.

The Frozen Canvas

• Increased the health and attack power of monsters in the Snowfield.

Tarot Gameplay

• Increased the health and attack power of monsters in the Tarot Path.

Clockwork Ballet

• Developer's Note: We found that reaching high ratings early in the Clockwork mechanic could have a significant negative impact on the gameplay experience. In order to improve this we have made the following changes:

   

  • The Talent Node "Clockwork Ballet Games have a chance to start with Rating B" has been removed.

  • The following Member Services will no longer appear:

     

    • "Upon starting Clockwork Ballet Games, immediately receive 1 Cogwheel Voucher (Purple or Orange rarity), initial time set to 15 seconds, initial Rating set to B."
    • "Stages will have exactly 6 Cogwheels, 3 Cogwheels increase Cogwheel rarity by +1; initial challenge Rating is S, challenge Rating cannot be increased further."
• Developer's Note: We felt it was unfair that the Doll Gameplay could self-sustain its own Compass consumption so easily. Therefore, the drop rate of Ecliptic Compasses in Doll Gameplay has been reduced.
• Adjusted the appearance of the Portal to the Iron Curtain of Eminence. The Portal will now have a chance to appear when the season-exclusive gameplay portion is complete, rather than replacing the entire Clockwork Ballet session.
• Fixed an issue where some services in the Clockwork Ballet Gameplay were applying their effects multiple times.

Arcana

• Developer's Note: The market price of Star Nets can sometimes discourage players from changing their Kismet. To address this, we have significantly increased the drop probability of Star Nets.

Traveler & Watchers

• Developer's Note: To better reward players who take on high-difficulty Plane Watchers, we have adjusted the drop rates for Exclusive Legendary Gear and modified the Legendary Gear drop pool. Higher-level Planes will now offer better rewards.
• For example, in Plane 6, the chance of dropping an Exclusive Legendary Gear has been increased to 350% of its previous rate.
• The Legendary item "Winter of Origin" will now drop from Timemark 8 Travelers (previously Timemark 7).

Character Panel

• The panel will now display your Max Life Bonus, Max Energy Shield Bonus, and Max Mana Bonus. The display order for these stats has also been optimized.
• Added new lines to display Barrier Absorption Bonus and Additional Barrier Absorption Bonus.
• Added new lines to display Minion Life Restoration Speed and Minion Life Restoration per Second.
• The Energy Shield Charge per Second calculation shown on the panel will now correctly include all charging speed bonuses.

IV. Other Adjustments and Optimizations

• Switching Builds is now disabled during a Boss Conquest attempt.

Sandlord Mechanic

    *For the best results, please use a Dolby Atmos-compatible device (smartphone or PC) and enable the "Dolby Atmos" setting in-game.

  • Added Custom Environmental Reverb: A New, Breathing World

     

    To further enhance the sense of realism, we have implemented custom-designed reverb for the game's diverse environments. Vast temples, caves, and enclosed chapels will all have their own unique acoustic signature. This approach creates a tangible and deeply immersive world, enhancing your sense of presence.

Hero Adjustments

Divineshot Carino | Zealot of War

• Developer's Note: The following are supplementary explanations and adjustments for the effects of the reworked Burning Red mechanic.

• Incinerated Glory:

   

  • Now allows Blank Firing. When you have ammunition, each use consumes one ammunition to gain a stack of Heat Up.
  • Casting a Projectile skill during Blank Firing now grants the Scorched debuff.
  • Heat Up: Each stack adds +(1.6/2/2.3/2.6/3)% Damage dealt by Projectile skills and +0.1 degree to max Projectile deviation angle.
  • If the Scorched state persists for 10 seconds, a forced Reload occurs, which removes all stacks of Heat Up and Scorched upon completion.

• Extreme Heat:

   

  • Upon reaching maximum Heat Up stacks, you no longer gain Scorched and instead transition into the Burning Red state. Burning Red ends immediately after a Reload.
  • Defeating an Elite enemy increases the duration of Burning Red by (3/4/5/5/5) seconds and restores 3% of Max Life and Energy Shield.
  • Grants +(0/5/5/10/16)% Additional Damage.
  • Burning Red State: Persists for 10 seconds. During this time, you do not gain Scorched, and Reload will not activate. You gain a 200% bonus to the effect of Heat Up, but you cannot use Empower, Curse, or Warcry skills.

• Endless Frenzy:

   

  • For each +1% Knockback distance, gain +(0.2/0.3/0.4/0.5/0.6)% Additional Damage and -0.1 degree to max Projectile deviation angle. This effect can stack up to 100 times.

Cateye Erika | Lightning Shadow

• Charging Equation:

   

  • Removed the effect: "When hitting an enemy, reduces enemy's current Numbed persistence time by -0.1 seconds".

Divinity Slate Changes
