Diablo 4 Season of the Construct: New Mechanics, Content, and Rewards

Get ready for the latest season of Diablo 4, the Season of the Construct, which brings new mechanics, content, rewards, and a slew of other changes to the game. In this guide, we'll take you through everything you need to know about the upcoming season, including the new seasonal mechanics, features, and content.

Uncovering the Ancient Technology of Zoltun Kulle

The Season of the Construct revolves around Zoltun Kulle's ancient technology, known as The Loom, which has been corrupted by the demon Malphas. This technology is causing chaos in Sanctuary, and it's up to you to stop it. With the aid of Ayuzhan, Zoltun's former companion, you'll battle through Vaults and find a way to stop Malphas' plans.

A New Companion: The Seneschal

This season introduces the Seneschal Companion, a new pet-like companion that you can upgrade and alter to fit your needs in combat. The Seneschal Companion can deal damage, provide support, and take incoming attacks, serving as a vital role in your gameplay experience. You can refine your Seneschal using Governing and Tuning Stones, which work similarly to Vampiric Powers in Season 2, allowing you to tweak your construct's abilities to fit your build and playstyle.

Upgrading Your Seneschal

• Earn Governing and Tuning Stones through the Seasonal Journey and Vault Dungeons
• Use these stones to upgrade your Seneschal's abilities and attributes
• Tweak your Seneschal's abilities to fit your build and playstyle

New Dungeons: Vaults

The Season of the Construct introduces new dungeons known as Vaults, which can be accessed once you have the required amount of Pearls of Warding. These dungeons are filled with hazards and constructs that you must navigate to complete. With Zoltun's Warding, a special buff that provides you with greater rewards, you'll need to make your way through the Vaults carefully to get the best rewards possible.

Arcane Tremors and Shattered Stone

Across Sanctuary, you'll find Arcane Tremors, new areas filled with constructs of various difficulties for you to defeat. Defeating these constructs will earn you Shattered Stone and Pearls of Warding, which can be used to earn higher-level rewards from the Vaults and upgrade your Seneschal.

The Gauntlet: Coming Later in the Season

Later in the Season of the Construct, The Gauntlet will be released, featuring a weekly fixed dungeon for players to take on to earn their spot on the leaderboards. After each week, the top scorers will be immortalized in the Hall of the Ancients. Stay tuned for more details on this upcoming mode.

Quality of Life Improvements

The Season of the Construct also brings several quality-of-life improvements, including changes to Helltides, which will now always be active with a five-minute rest every hour. PC players will also be able to use WASD movement instead of the mouse, and there will be an extra stash tab for players to purchase.

New Seasonal Journey and Rewards

The Season of the Construct brings a new Seasonal Journey, including new Chapters, Objectives, and rewards such as cosmetic items like the Awoken Adamant Armor, mounts, weapon skins, and emotes. Players will need to create a new seasonal character to participate in the Seasonal Journey and earn these rewards.
