Wayfinder “The Reaver King” update adds new story, bosses, weapons

Airship Syndicate and Digital Extremes have released the final mid-season update before Season 2 of Wayfinder, titled The Reaver King. The update for the Action RPG MMO brings a trove of new content ahead of Season 2 which is expected to release later this year. Players with any Wayfinder founder’s pack can jump into The Reaver King starting today.

The Hollow Heart Opens

The main story of Wayfinder will proceed forward with The Reaver King, with four new main quests and three side quests. This is the biggest Wayfinder update yet, and will culminate in players taking on The Reaver King.

An existing Lost Zone, Hollow Heart, features all new content and secrets for players to explore as they attempt to make their way towards the two new bosses: Wormwood and The Reaver King. Each boss comes in the form of new hunts.

Players will also have access to a third Imbuement Slot for the Shadow element which to continue altering the existing Lost Zone threats and rewards. Rewards include three new weapons each with their own abilities that players can acquire. The three new weapons are:

• Rose & Thorn — Blood-stained flower petal-esq daggers. Ability: Thorn Blossom – Slam into the ground, shooting thorns up from the ground in an area below the Wayfinder. Enemies hit will be inflicted with Rose Blossom for 10 seconds, taking additional damage each time they are hit.
• Eclipse — Two-handed axe that consumes all light around it. Ability: Steel Vortex – Throws the axe to spin in a vortex in front of the Wayfinder, dealing damage multiple times before returning. Deals additional damage for each level of Momentum consumed.
• Nightshade — A sword and shield that predates humanity. Ability: Wyvern’s Fury – Reloads the gun with an empowered clip. During this clip, the weapon is fully automatic and every bullet is infused to apply a stack of Poison on hit. Poison is a small DoT that stacks up to 20 times and deals damage over 6 seconds.
