Killstreak
Killstreaks are a new Seasonal mechanic being added to Season 12. Kill Streaks reward players for quick and consecutive kills, granting bonuses depending on the Bloodied Affixes from their Bloodied Items.
Failure to kill enemies in a period of time will end the Killstreak, which grants experience and Reputation based on how large a player's Kill Streak was.
Bloodied Items
Bloodied Items are the new item gimmick or power for Season 12. These are special affixes on your gear that provide bonuses depending on your Kill Streak tier.
| All Bloodied Affixes | |
|---|---|
| Rampage (Armor) |
Increase in power based on current Killstreak Tier |
| Feast (Weapon) |
Apply Combat bonuses based off total kills in your current Killstreak |
| Hunger (Jewelry) |
Customizes reward offerings, scales with Killstreak Tiers |
Bloodied Items are not exclusive, and an item can be both Ancestral and Bloodied. Similar to other affixes, Bloodied Affixes can stack their effects.
Bloodied Sigils
Bloodied Sigils will only be available once players reach Torment I. They appear on Nightmare Dungeons, Infernal Hordes, and Lair Bosses. The difficulty of these sigils is expected to be a Torment Tier higher than what difficulty players are currently on.
Bloodied Sigils also have the special Relentless Butcher affix. This type of the Butcher will continue to respawn in a player's run even after defeat. Keep in mind that this affix does not affect the spawn rate of a normal Butcher, and there can even be a chance that both Butchers spawn at once.
Slaughterhouses
Slaughterhouses are dungeon-like activities where you take on the role of the Butcher. Instead of fighting through dungeon maps, your hunting grounds are the main towns of Sanctuary. Your objective will be to eliminate 200 villagers and Wanderers; upon reaching that number, a group of tougher Wanderers will appear at your location.
You can complete this activity with a party, but be aware that you might steal Brutality gains from each other. You will also need Slaughterhouse Keys to access the activity.
New Unique Items
Season 12 will also release 5 new general uniques available to most classes. As of February 3, 2026, these uniques are already available for testing in the 2.6.0 PTR!
