Greetings Adventurers,

With this PTR release, we’re introducing the next weapon to be brought to the shores of Aeternum!

The Blunderbuss

The Blunderbuss is a ranged weapon that offers high mobility coupled with potent close-to-mid range DPS. It’s the first weapon to scale on Strength and Intelligence, making it a good companion for bruiser or mage builds. The Containment tree is all about closing the gap and unloading hot lead into your enemy’s face. Conversely, the Chaos tree focuses on keeping your distance and bombarding areas with explosive AoE damage.

Please let us know how you enjoyed this piece of content on the PTR! In particular, we’re especially keen on feedback relating to PvE and PvP combat balance (both fighting with or against a blunderbuss), mechanics and the “feeling of fun”, skill usage, perk usage, and any technical issues such as gameplay bugs and client stability or performance problems.

Thank you and have fun!
