The Season of the Inferno has arrived!
Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor's v2.3.0 update, released today, includes several long-requested additions to the game. The biggest of all is the new seasonal ladder - everyone starts on level ground, with a common goal: reach the highest tier in the shortest time, and reap the rewards. These goods include several cosmetic items, store discounts and high-quality gear. Coupled with the ladder, a new Void Crusade, Zircon has also been added to Inquisitor.
A full overview of the new features can be found here - make sure to check it out to see the new mechanics, objectives and more.
Gameplay-wise, we implemented several changes: not only does the new main menu and the character creation screen come with a refreshed look, we have also increased the number of character slots to make room for the new heroes of the Inferno. Ancient Relics have received a name suffix based on their enchant to make them more distinguishable, and also come with an extra enchant slot for some extra performance.
For a more detailed look on what the new patch contains, take a look at the patch notes below!
Patch v2.3.0
New Features
New Void Crusade: Zircon
Collect 5 Zircon Void Shards to challenge the forces of Chaos and receive your righteous rewards. The Zircon Crusade is also available in Hardcore Mode.
Several new stat displays have been added to the Character sheet:

Applications to a Cabal can be cancelled now
Updated the description under the Glory window to be more informative
The various thresholds of the Critical Strength are now displayed in its tooltip under the Character sheet
Balance
Ancient items
The following changes will apply to newly acquired Ancient Relic items:
Ancient items will have one additional enchant slot now, making the total number of slots 5
The items have now received a distinctive name to make it easier for players to decide if they want to unlock them
All ancient item enchants got revised, several new and unique enchants have been added
Ancient items now always roll maximum values on their enchants based on the item level
Perks
Attack anchor 10% /second, up from 5% /second (the max value is unchanged)
Augmented Body 2 No Suppression damage removed, added 50% Max Suppression and 25 Suppression Damage Resist, and no longer disables HP regeneration
Enhanced attrition Gives 150% DoT up from 50%, but now also gives -50% damage for everything that is not a DoT
Heatsinks Heat Damage bonus increased from 15 to 25%
Persistent attrition Now Blinds the enemy instead of giving a flat damage debuff
Self Mortification Now gives 0.75% damage bonus for each percentage of missing class resource
Close quarters gunnery Added multiple damage levels, starting from the old behavior, scaling up to 75% damage when the enemy is in melee range.
Rabble Slayer Gives 60% Damage Bonus increased from 20%
Stride of the blessed 30% Movement speed up from 25%, DR debuff also increased from -5 to -10
Energy Shield system
Energy Shield mechanics reworked. Shield behavior moved into 2 statistics:
Energy shield: The regenerating, permanent part which can be gained either from the Deflector Field belt item or the Puritan Perk
Shield charge: Acts as a refill for Energy shield but it can overflow creating a consumable "healthbar". Can be gained from "on-hit" "on-crit" etc. type of effects. Shield charge can be gained even without using a Deflector field or Puritan Perk, but on its own it does not regenerate
There is a third supplementary effect "Shield regen" that determines the speed at which your permanent shield is recharging. It is always a percentage and an additive statistic. Energy Shields from the Puritan Perk and Deflector field regenerate 1% shield value/sec until they reach their maximum shield value
Personal Void Shield
Now gives a massive - item level*100- points worth of Shield charge boost. It can be stacked up practically indefinitely but it doesn't regenerate
Deflector Field
Now gives item level*25 Energy Shield, 1%/sec Shield regen, 25% Reflect chance and 100% Reflect damage for 60 seconds. Added a maximum cap to Energy charge of 15 000
Misc
The Enunciator Heroic Deed is available for every class now which unlocks the 'Stride of the Blessed' perk
Enemy HP and Damage scaling has been significantly improved, from lvl 70 the game gets gradually harder and harder. Added enemy levels up to lvl 120
Enemy Suppression scaling has been improved while the player's suppression damage dealt is no longer affected by the negative modifiers of mission level difficulty
Armour items rescaled: Now all armours give higher Damage reduce values at lower levels and lower values at maximum item level. Crusader armours also give HP now
Increased the value of Energy Shield, Suppression and HP enchants to varying degree
From now on Vulnerability stacks count as a single Debuff/ stack
Reborn Marauder now spawns fewer Toxic entities on death
Triple shot psalm doctrine now gives -30% crit chance instead of -50% damage bonus
Enchants providing HP regeneration have been increased by about 50-80%

Damage bonus enchants for Psychic Power schools increased by 30% and now count as primary enchants

HP percentage
Suppression damage reduce major
Suppression damage reduce godlike
Loot quality minor
Loot quantity major
Damage Bonus for Area of Effect major
Damage reflect major
Damage reflect chance major
XP bonus
Constructs
Added Weapon damage for construct weapons. Since it counts as a “base damage” for all construct skills, to keep it balanced Kataphron Destroyer’s and Kastelan Robot’s weapons intentionally give half the damage as they have two separate weapon modules, but the overall damage is the same as their single weaponed counterparts
The Constructs' HP and Damage internal scaling were buffed to varying degree
Hp regen module now gives % Hp regeneration instead of flat regen to increase its usefulness in the late game. Using HP and regen as a base for tanking is a valid tactic now
The Kastelan's base HP scaling was toned down by about 12.5%, as it benefited more than any other construct from the previous changes
The Kataphron Destroyer's base HP scaling increased by about 15%, as it benefited less from the changes than other constructs. It aims faster with the Grav-Gun now
The Necromechanic Rainment no longer has a cast delay
The following enchants can be found now on various items equipped by the Tech Adept:
Ranged/Melee Damage bonus for Constructs
Physical/Heat Damage bonus for Constructs
Damage bonus for every kind of Construct Skills
Physical/Heat Damage bonus for Constructs
Suppression Damage Bonus for Constructs
Base Damage for Constructs
Debuff-based damage bonus (eg. “against bleeding”) for Constructs
Movement Speed for Constructs
Movement Speed for the Tech Adept
Base HP for
Damage Reduction/Resists for Constructs
% HP bonus for all Constructs
Flat HP regen for all Constructs
The following enchants can be found now on Construct modules:
Construct Damage against enemies
Construct Damage in crowd
Construct Damage alone
Construct Damage for
Construct Flat Hp enchants (stacks with % Hp on the modules)
Ranged/melee damage
Damage resist
Shield
DoT changes
DoT Suppression damage dealt increased from 0.2 to 0.5
Enchants related to DoT damage have been seriously buffed (300-600%)
They tick every 0.5 sec instead of every sec, making on-tick effects much more reliable, also being able to deliver just the right amount of damage in time (less overkill)
Reflect behavior reworked
All reflect effects have been moved into 2 stats: Reflect chance and Reflect % damage Note: Reflect does not negate the incoming damage but hits back, so it's more of an offensive stat
Reflect chance: the chance of hitting back, on damage taken
Reflect % damage: Cap removed, now can be stacked indefinitely, hits back for a percentage of the incoming damage Note: Reflect chance and Reflect damage don't work without each other
Fixed bugs
Several stability improvements and fixes
Fixed an issue where the Personal Void Shield and the Fiery Form dropped off if a cutscene was triggered
The Archeotech Shotgun has now 14 ammunition up from 12

Patch 2.2.3
Skulls for the Skull Throne 4
Event description:
Conclave operatives have learned about a new-fangled scheme of the Archenemy dubbed the "Skull Tithe". Vile agents known as "Skull Procurators", wielding previously unseen warp-symbols have been unleashed to reap skulls for the mysterious ritual.
In response, the Conclave has issued a special implant designed to gather data about this threat. When equipped, it enables its user to identify and tell apart these malefactors from their generic brethren. It will also analyze kill data from the sensorium feed and provide valuable insight to both the user and the noospheric cogitator network.
We expect all Throne Agents to supply their assigned implant with data to its maximum storage capacity.
