Last Epoch: Major Minion Enhancements Coming in Season 3

Sure, here it is:

—

Alright, so Last Epoch, right? They’re shaking things up again. This time, they tossed a curveball with minions in something they call the “Assassinate mode.” Sounds fancy, huh? But who knows what it’ll actually feel like. This is rolling out in the next season, which, I gotta admit, I wasn’t totally keeping track of. But yeah, the devs spilled the beans on their forums. Classic move.

Anyway — yeah, the game dropped in 2024, and since then, it’s been this wild mix of time-hopping and dungeon crawling. Pretty rad if you ask me. Five classes to pick from, and a bunch of ways to spice them up. It’s like a buffet of character options. Right now, they’re in what they call the “Tombs of the Erased” season. Does that name even make sense? Maybe it does after a few hours in. They launched this new season back in April, with fresh zones and big bad bosses. But hey, moving on…

So, here’s the lowdown on the “Assassinate mode.” Minions are getting sneaky. Apparently, they’re gonna scope out enemies from afar — targeting those rare dudes and boss kinds. Like, do I need more focus in my life? Guess I do now. And you can bounce back to the ol’ “Protect mode” whenever, which basically means keeping your critters close. Think of it like leashing a hyper dog, but in-game. Icons show the way, so watch for swords and shields — those are your breadcrumbs.

And oh, the devs are tinkering with the minions’ targeting mojo, so maybe they won’t have attention spans like goldfish anymore. Fingers crossed.

Then, there are these updates to the Beastmaster’s crew — Raptors, Scorpions, Bears. Not your regular zoo lineup, huh? New nodes thrown in there too. People have been yapping for ages about cosmetics in Offline Mode, so finally, that’s happening. A simple play here and there, and boom, offline fashion parade. Why it took this long, beats me.

August 21st rolls in with more changes, like some Merchant’s Guild updates. Shopping filters, new tokens — ways to get stuff without jumping through hoops or kissing the right rings. Sounds decent, but we’ll see how much it changes the game dance.

That’s the scoop. It’s a lot, but hey, that’s games for you. Always something new, always something left behind. Let’s just hope this stuff sticks the landing, right?
