The massively multiplayer action RPG Dauntless received Patch 1.13.0 recently. This update marks the start of Gauntlet Season 2.
For those who are new to Dauntless, the Gauntlet is a challenge mode where guild members hunt five rounds of Behemoths in the ruins of old Ramsgate. Guilds can climb up the leaderboards by completing as many levels as possible. Furthermore, members can earn a single crest per five levels, which can be used to purchase rewards at the Research Lab.
Patch 1.13.0 also introduces three new themed Cells in the Research Lab. The first is called Reduce - a cell that lowers the player’s attack speed in exchange for more damage dealt. The second is Reuse, a cell that grants a small attack speed bonus whenever the player breaks one of the Behemoth’s parts. And lastly, Recycle is a cell that progressively increases the player’s damage against one body part. This bonus is lost whenever they hit the other Behemoth body parts.
