Diablo 4 players have uncovered an overpowered build capable of generating endless damage—so intense it causes server slowdowns. Discover how this exploit works and why fans are questioning the Berserk crossover's pricing.
Diablo 4 Season Highlights
Game-Breaking Build Triggers Server Instability
The newest Diablo 4 season introduces powerful boss abilities that, when optimized, create an unstoppable damage loop—crashing servers in the process. Content creator Macrobioboi demonstrated this build on May 9, showcasing its ability to wipe entire enemy waves instantly using specific boss powers and a key Legendary Aspect.
This exploit requires equipping the Vampiric Curse Legendary Aspect, which applies a permanent Vulnerable status to foes. Typically, Vulnerable temporarily boosts damage output, but this Aspect removes its expiration—keeping enemies debuffed indefinitely.
The Flesh Reaper's Disruption boss power compounds the effect—normally removing Vulnerable to inflict a stun. Vampiric Curse prevents Vulnerable from disappearing, triggering endless stun cycles. Completing the setup, Varshan's Life Steal delivers massive damage with every boss power activation.
The resulting calculations overwhelm servers, as seen in wudijo's gameplay footage where enemies remain frozen amidst endless skill effects. "The system processes countless simultaneous calculations," he noted, "explaining why this build causes such severe lag."
While Blizzard hasn't addressed this performance-heavy exploit, players continue testing its limits—trading gameplay smoothness for unprecedented power.
Berserk Crossover Sparks Monetization Concerns
Diablo 4's current Berserk collaboration introduces iconic manga cosmetics—but their premium pricing gives fans pause. While some items are earnable through gameplay, the most desirable sets demand real money.
Players can obtain free cosmetics by collecting Behelits and redeeming them at the Berserk Reliquary, including:
● Hawks Destiny Back Trophy
● Skull Knight’s Heraldry Mount Armor
● Brand of Sacrifice Marking
● Foretold Eclipse Headstone
● Od of the Berserker Emblem
The collaboration's flagship items—including legendary armor sets—require Diablo 4's premium Platinum currency:
● The Berserker Armor, Barbarian - 2,800 Platinum
● The Hawk of Light, Rogue - 2,800 Platinum
● The Struggler, Rogue - 2,800 Platinum
● The Skull Knight, Necromancer - 2,800 Platinum
● The Schnoz, Pet Bundle - 2,800 Platinum
● Warhorse of the Hawk, Mount and Mount Armor - 2,500 Platinum
Each premium set costs approximately $28—half the game's original price—with the complete collection reaching $150 (including bonus Platinum). This mirrors Diablo 4's previous WoW crossover, suggesting future collaborations may follow this expensive trend.
While the Berserk items boast exceptional quality, their steep cost leaves many players conflicted about purchases. Diablo IV is available across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC—stay informed with our latest coverage below.
