“When playing a Terror Zone-enabled game, every hour, the armies of the Burning Hells will focus their demonic might on specific zones, terrorizing them. The monsters in these zones will be at least two levels higher than your current level or their original level, up to a maximum per difficulty. The experience received and the loot dropped by killing a terrorized monster will be based on this new level. In addition, terrorized monsters will also grant additional experience points.” Here are the level details for each monster type per difficulty: Normal

Base: +2 levels up to level 45 Champion: +4 levels up to level 47 Unique: +5 levels up to level 48

Nightmare

Base: +2 levels up to level 71 Champion: +4 levels up to level 73 Unique: +5 levels up to level 74

Hell

Base: +2 levels up to level 96 Champion: +4 levels up to level 98 Unique: +5 levels up to level 99

Of course, Diablo II: Resurrected update 2.5 will also include a long list of bug fixes and tweaks. If you need to know about that you can get the full, unabridged patch notes, right here. Activision Blizzard has faced a series of lawsuits and other legal action on the heels of a suit filed by California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) alleging widespread gender-based discrimination and sexual harassment at the Call of Duty publisher. You can get more details on that unfolding story here. Diablo II: Resurrected is available now on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and Switch. Update 2.5 is available now on PTR.
