Keer terug naar de Wonderlands met de Redux mod

De meeste mods zijn vooral kleinschalig. Een nieuw karakter, een skin of natuurlijk mods van een erotische aard. Je hebt echter ook groepen die het veel groter aanmaken, zoals het maken van compleet nieuwe gebieden voor The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim of het flink uitbreiden van Borderlands 3. Het team achter de laatste is degene waar we vandaag naar willen kijken.

Zij brachten namelijk enkele dagen geleden Wonderlands Redux uit; een mod die een hoop aan de game verandert evenals toevoegt én dat zo goed doet, dat het zo door had kunnen gaan voor een officiële expansion. Denk maar eens aan nieuwe uitdagingen voor ervaren spelers, nieuwe bewegingsopties in de vorm van de dash en double jump, een vergrootte inventory en een duidelijke aanduiding voor loot die puur cosmetisch is. De volledige lijst van veranderingen en verbeteringen is als volgt:

• Added Pearlescent Rarity. Pearls now have intrinsic traits built in, and can drop at Chaos Level 8+
• Added Unique Rarity. All mission rewards & some other items have now been swapped to Unique in order to help them stand out at endgame
• Legacy Hunts return. Signified by Athena’s Mark, hunts can be summoned at the new Legacy Obelisks around the Wonderlands for lost souls
• Added numerous NEW items, and also replaced a ton of base game items
• Added Double Jumping. Double jumps can be performed by pressing the jump button again while in air

However, the chest will only contain unique items once the player has beaten the “Fatebreaker” Main Quest. Each map contains a higher chance for certain item types. Find them all!
