Authors of the Diabloid about the Wild West presented the item system - new teasers for The Dark West

Black Hand studio presented a new dev diary dedicated to the development of the action-RPG The Dark West. The game's setting is a "cursed frontier" (mystical Wild West).

The developers decided to talk about an important component of the "diabloid" – the loot system. The game will feature various classes of items: from weapons (rifles, revolvers, shotguns) to accessories (rings, talismans, poker cards).

Items will also have "affixes" (modifiers) that can range from simple characteristics, such as "increased attack speed," to more complex ones, like "reduced movement penalty during reload." Items have a limit of six affixes, and each modifier can appear on an item only once, i.e., if there is already an affix for "movement speed," you cannot get a second one.

Items will have different qualities, affecting the strength of their affixes. The game will feature the following "quality" options: Rusted, Worn, Sturdy, Pristine.

There will also be "Masterworks":

Items will have a Tier, which will determine their base characteristics and the level of affixes they can receive; Roman numerals from I to VIII are used for designation.
