Notes[]

  • The items monsters gain are cumulative; when advancing to the next stage, the monsters will keep all the items they already had in addition to the new item from the new stage.
  • Monsters cannot gain blacklisted items, on-kill items, sprint-related items, and equipment-related items. They also cannot gain any boss items or equipment.
  • Monsters will not normally gain lunar items, but can acquire them if a player has SotV IconSotV IconSurvivors of the Void - DLC Content

    • Each Combat Director has a defined team, which overrides the Spawn Card's default team. The Camp Director always spawns enemies on team Void, including Voidtouched enemies that would normally be on team Monster, so none of these will gain items.

    A delivery containing 2 items (79%/20%/1%) will appear in a random location on each stage. (Increases rarity chances of the items per stack).
    , every monster that has spawned as the starting monsters when entering a stage will also have its own corresponding Crashed Multishop. The player can interact with these as normal, gaining many free items.
  • The game rolls for a new item at the beginning of a new stage, even with the Artifact disabled. This is probably so that the game properly accumulates the items in the case the player visits Bulwark's Ambry at a later time.
  • The game will roll for a new item only when the stage number increases. Since visiting most Hidden Realms does not change this counter, a new item will not be rolled. For example, visiting the Bazaar Between Time afer the first stage will roll for a new item since leaving the first stage increments the stage counts. But leaving the Bazaar Between Time does not change this and will therefore still have two items after advancing to the next Environment.
