Diablo 4 accidentally enabled a gold rush of elite loot, and i🥀t's been quickly quashed.

If you didn't know, Diablo 4 𝓡has a truly elite tier of loot called 'Uber Unique' items. These should be pretty damn rare, but they were dropping at an absolute deluge over the past day from Helltide Events via Helltide Chests, thanks to a new patch 🎉that launched with unintended consequences.

This caused an absolute gold rush of loot, or as close to a gold rush as you can come in Diablo 4. Thousands of players around the world cashed in on the weird drop rate for Diablo 4's Uber Unique items from Helltide Chests, basically getting their hands on ultra-rare gear with nearly 🥀zero grinding involved.

Just when the gold rush was p๊icking up steam, it was stamped out by Blizzard. The developer has taken matters into their own hands by completely disabling Uber Unique items from dropping from Helltide Chests while they inves𒀰tigate the drop rates from the endgame activity chests.

It's a shame, but good things can't last forever. We just hope tha😼t you were lucky enough to get💜 in on the gold rush of Uber Unique items while the going was good, because now you're facing a truly staggering grind if you want to get your hands on some of the rarest items in all of Diablo 4.
