Armory

Have you ever wanted to play one build in Helltides and another in the Pit, but felt it was too bothersome to change all your paragon and gear for it? The solution to this problem is the Armory! Brand-new, this functionality allows players to change their build setups with the click of a singular button - all while being completely free!

The Armory feature allows players to create multiple builds and quickly swap between them. You save your current equipment, skills, paragon points, and glyphs. This allows you to alter your character's loadout to fit the content you are about to challenge in Sanctuary.

For instance, if you are about to do Helltides with some friends, you need to use a speedfarming build. However, if you and your friends want to challenge the Pit at the highest level, you need an endgame build instead. Previously, players often got stuck with one build as the process of changing took a significant amount of time. Now, the Armory allows players to press a singular button to optimize for any challenge they are approaching.

At the very bottom of the interface, there are three buttons (highlighted in the image to the right). The left button called Load changes the character's gear to the loadout you have selected. The Save button saves your character's current state into the Armory for later use. Finally, the Rename button simply renames the selected loadout.

Finding the Armory while adventuring could not be easier as it is scattered all over Sanctuary. Access the Armory from the following locations:

• Main Cities
• The Dark Citadel
• Tree of Whispers
• Training Area

The precise location of the Armory was next to the Stash during the Season 7 PTR. It remains to be seen if this is the case when the Armory reaches the live servers at the start of Season 7.

This new system has a few, yet impactful, limitations that you need to be aware of. These limitations are a part of the system itself and are likely to remain in the future as well.

• Items need a physical space (such as your Stash or Inventory)
• Altering items changes the items saved to a loadout (aspects, stats, etc).
• Items in loadouts get a small icon to indicate they are part of a loadout, deleting this item removes it from the loadout.

You can avoid all of these issues (except for stash bloat!) by having items for specific builds in your stash. This is not a perfect solution, as amulets and other pieces can be incredibly rare in Diablo 4. Just make sure to check your items after equipping a loadout to ensure all aspects are correct.

Summary

• The Armory is a brand-new system that allows players to alter their loadouts instantly to match the content they engage with.
• You can find these in the Main Cities, the Dark Citadel, the Tree of Whispers, and the Training Area.
• There are some limitations to this system, make sure to check that your loadout applied the correct Aspects when you change between loadouts.
