The colorful online role-playing game WildStar offers real challenges again. With the latest update, you can struggle through “Overwhelming” difficulty raids and show how hardcore you really are.
WildStar advertised itself upon release as being the “hardcore” MMO that brings back intense 40-man raids like in the good old WoW Classic. Ultimately, that wasn’t such a good idea, and many players found the endgame too “hardcore”, leading WildStar to become somewhat more accessible.
However, Carbine doesn’t quite want to part ways with hardcore raiding just yet, as the latest update 1.7.2 brings the first raid in “Overwhelming 1” difficulty.
WildStar – New Raid in Extra Hard!
The raid Y-83 was already present in “Hard” difficulty, and now the even tougher Overwhelming Mode is added. And if that’s not enough, you can play the raid in both hard AND overwhelming!
The overwhelming mode fundamentally increases the damage and health points of the enemies in the raid. The hard mode increases these values further and unlocks new combat techniques and boss mechanics. So, really hardcore!
Overwhelming Raids – It gets even harder!
As a reward, there are significantly better items and resources like Progenitor Access Particles. So far, there is only the raid Y-83 in the overwhelming mode of level 1. The developers plan to unlock more raids for this mode in the future.
Once all raids in the new difficulty level are available, the rotation will start again in future updates, and gradually raids of level “Overwhelming 2”, then 3, and so on will be introduced. Each time, the raid will become even harder and the loot even more epic.
You can ideally fill your raid schedule this way, as each difficulty level has its own lockout timer. So you can now complete and loot Y-83 four times a week. Provided you are hardcore enough!
