Each week, two major modifiers and one minor will be applied from a game pool to Hardcore Mode. Below is the current list of major and minor modifiers that can be applied. These weekly modifiers will appear in the raid’s Threat: Critical summary section of the objectives board.

 

Major:

  • When a player reloads their weapon, ammo left in the current magazine is lost.
  • The cooldown of each heart is longer, and you have 3 max hearts instead of 4.
  • No ammo drops for your current equipped weapon.
  • When injured, a player progressively loses health and can’t regenerate automatically.
  • All players can only equip one main weapon.
  • Life chunks are lost when empty, until a player heals.

  • Time of day is fixed at midnight for the entire week.
