Season 3 of Diablo 4, Season of the Construct, is about to roll out to the player base, and with it comes a whole bunch of new activities, stories, and mechanics for players to explore. One of the major new features are Vault dungeons. These are elaborate lairs full of forgotten and malicious machines that will test your abilities to dodge traps lest you want its best loot.
Blizzard developers went into detail about the specifics of the Vault dungeons alongside a wealth of other features coming in Diablo 4’s Season of the Construct in a special livestream. The difference between Vaults and your usual dungeon is they bring a unique kind of challenge. These dungeons will be filled with traps. Of course, skirting them carefully means not getting hurt, but there’s more to it than that. If you can make it through the dungeon without being damaged by the traps, the rewards at the end of the dungeon will be improved. That includes a boss at the end of these dungeons that you’ll have to fight while traps are going off.
One of the main features of Season of the Construct is that players will gain a machine companion known as the Senechal Construct. This little spider bot will accompany your adventures and you can upgrade its capabilities with the help of Tuning Stones. These can give the Construct abilities like lightning, spread shots, piercing effects, and many more depending on what kind of offense or defense you want it to have. Undoubtedly, Vaults will also provide loot with which to power up your construct with better upgrades for those who do well in avoiding the traps.
Diablo 4’s Season of the Construct kicks off on January 23, 2024 on available platforms. It will be the game’s biggest update as we await the upcoming Vessel of Hatred expansion in 2024. As we dip into the season, stay tuned for more updates and details on Diablo 4.
