THREAD in GAMMA discord.
Check it out if you want to discuss about the mod and/or give feedback!




This mod revamps existing artifacts, aiming to achieve better balance but still keep it within lore. It also
introduces a new tier system for artifacts.
Changes detectors to locate certain rarities, also some balance changes like cost, range etc and certain upgrades for armor.
This mod is balanced around veteran difficulty, and is intended to work well with a hardcore balance overhaul!

So what are you waiting for? Jump in and become a true artifact hunter and a legend of the zone!










Features THREE new Artifacts!

Overhauls ALL artifacts and also introduces a 4-Tier system. No artifact is the same.
Artifacts generally use specific primary effects depending on its element of origin.
Some artifacts also have added special effects to fit its aesthetic on top of it's element.







Features TWO new Detectors!
I recommend using SVAROG DETECTOR made by aptefakt with this mod!

You can now find respective detectors at your local trader!
