Become the Nightmare:
Everyone who has ever successfully defeated on of EpicDuel's extreme Nightmare bosses knows it can be a slog. To aid those who wish to grind out wins against Nightmare bosses for achievements and drops, we're adding new anti-Nightmare cores to the drop pools. These cores will have a 15% drop chance. Nightmare boss drops will also come equipped with anti-boss cores. If the Nightmare boss shares a drop pool with a non-Nightmare boss, those drops will also have anti-boss cores equipped where applicable.
The power increase for these cores are defined below:
- Primary (Bane): +400
- Sidearm (Shot): +200
- Blast (Auxiliary): +200
- Guard (Defenses): +300
