Run planner

A four-step hunt checklist.

Use this before and after a run. It covers only the loop and loot categories named by official sources—no made-up drop rates or tier labels.

Updated August 31, 2026

  1. 01

    Prepare

    Start at the Church

    Check NPCs, upgrades and the War Table before committing to a mission.

  2. 02

    Configure

    Choose the mission and difficulty

    Successful runs can introduce missions, modifiers and skill achievements. Higher difficulty brings greater rewards.

  3. 03

    Hunt

    Collect four loot families

    Watch for weapons, armour, trinkets and consumables during the run.

  4. 04

    Return

    Purify discovered equipment

    The official loot explainer says purification after a successful run expands your arsenal.

Dynamic difficulty

Risk is tied to reward.

Steam’s official feature copy says mission difficulty can match player skill, and greater difficulty brings greater rewards. It does not publish reward multipliers.
