In Season 5, new content is coming to Diablo 4, as well as numerous new uniques for all classes. What they are and what they can do, you will find out here at MeinMMO.
Season 5 starts on August 6 and brings new content and several changes in Diablo 4. Among other things, you can expect:
- a new season mechanic: Hellbreach Dungeons, reminiscent of the “Dopamine Tunnel” that are suitable for farming XP, reputation, and gear. They are already available from World Level 1 and prepare you for the new endgame activity.
- the new endgame activity “Infernal Hordes”, where you fight against waves of monsters. It is available at World Levels 3 and 4.
- a rework of all uniques in Diablo 4: Blizzard aims to make uniques exceptional again in the “Season of Infernal Hordes” to balance all builds in the game.
On top of that, numerous new uniques are added to the game. New Uber Uniques, which will henceforth be called Mythic Uniques and are purple, have yet to be announced by Blizzard. Below, we summarize all the new uniques and their effects.

Diablo 4 Endgame Tier List: Best Builds for Each Class in Season 5
Where can I get the uniques? The uniques drop in Diablo 4 at various endgame activities, including the Infernal Hordes starting from Season 5. For targeted farming of specific items, the bosses you can summon with mats are particularly suitable. If you want to save materials, gather in groups. It’s best to look for other players farming in the general chat. All endgame bosses have specific “loot tables”, meaning a list of certain items they can drop.
