Diablo 4 Unveils Patch Notes for October 7 Update (v2.4.1)

Blizzard Entertainment has released a new Diablo 4 update on October 7, introducing balance adjustments, Infernal Hordes improvements, and a wide range of bug fixes — including the long-awaited resolution for the Druid’s Aspect of the Wildrage issue. This marks the first post-launch update for Season 10: Infernal Chaos, now live across all platforms. ⚔️

🌋 Season 10: Infernal Chaos Overview

Launched on September 23, Diablo 4: Season 10 — Infernal Chaos arrived with major permanent improvements to Infernal Hordes alongside fresh seasonal content like Chaos Rifts, new Chaos Powers, exclusive Armor sets, questlines, and the Diablo 4 x StarCraft crossover event.

Now, the October 7 update refines this foundation with key tuning adjustments and gameplay fixes to ensure smoother combat balance and improved event pacing.

⚖️ Chaos Powers & Perk Adjustments

The patch targets both underperforming and overpowered Chaos Powers to achieve better equilibrium across classes.

• Convocation of Spirits and A Beast Cornered have been enhanced for greater reliability and higher potential damage.
• Barbarian’s Single-Minded Fury and Rogue’s Unpredictable Alchemy, Hit and Run, and Orphan Maker now deliver stronger buffs, making these builds more rewarding.
• For Sorcerers, Crackling Energy will no longer trigger from the Convulsions passive when already full on charges — preventing premature depletion of resources during high-speed attacks.

🔥 Infernal Hordes Enhancements

Infernal Hordes have received significant gameplay tweaks to elevate intensity and engagement:

• The range of Soulspires has been expanded, offering better coverage and reward dynamics.
• Monster ambush frequency has increased inside Infernal Hordes, creating a more chaotic and immersive atmosphere.
• With the Ambushing Hellborne Infernal Offer, players will now face even more Hellborne encounters, amplifying both challenge and loot opportunities.

💬 Developer’s Note: “These changes strengthen the frenzied nature of Infernal Hordes while maintaining Soulspires as a high-risk, high-reward system.”

🧙‍♂️ Major Bug Fixes & Class Updates

The update resolves numerous class-specific and gameplay issues, ensuring better stability and consistency.

Key Fixes Include:

• 🐺 Druid: Fixed a bug allowing Aspect of the Wildrage to cause infinite poison creeper damage stacking. The Aspect has now been re-enabled.
• ⚔️ Barbarian: Fixed issues where Wrath of the Berserker incorrectly buffed weapons below Rank 5 and where Barbed Carapace failed to activate properly.
• 💀 Necromancer: Fixed a bug preventing Bone Storm duration increases when using Osseous Gale Aspect and Alter the Balance together.
• 🗡️ Rogue: Resolved problems with Shadow Clone, Momentum, and Poison Trap spawning via Aspect of Bursting Venoms.
• 🔮 Sorcerer: Fixed issues involving Chaos Armor Heshe e Kesungi incorrectly displaying affixes and rune effects not triggering correctly.

🧩 General Fixes & Quality Improvements

• Updated Season Journey objective descriptions (Entropy & Tides of Chaos) for clarity — only overworld activities now count toward progress.
• Fixed quest progression blockers, such as issues during the Blood on Parchment boss encounter.
• Corrected visual and drop rate errors, including those related to Belial’s Lair and the Hateful Stone mount trophy for Paragon 300.
• Improved UI clarity, stability, and performance across all platforms.
