[Play free now] Phoenix Labs continues to evolve the world of Dauntless by introducing a new ranged weapon, the Ostian Repeaters, which players can take into battle today. In addition, Dark Harvest, an expansive new Halloween-themed game event, will be arriving to the Shattered Isles, introducing a mysterious and savage, new Behemoth. Available for players to lock and load, the Ostian Repeaters offer a totally new way to hunt Behemoths. The Repeaters are a pair of high-powered pistols which Slayers can use to hammer off shots from a distance, but there are also big benefits for staying close range as well. The closer a Slayer is to their quarry, the more damage is dealt. Slayers that are close to a Behemoth can also siphon off some of the creature’s aether to empower their next set of shots while reloading. The introduction of the Ostian Repeaters also adds a new modular customization system for Slayers to adjust the long-range weapon to fit their playstyle.
