Diablo 2: Resurrected PTR 2.5 live with Terror Zones and more



What you need to know

  • The latest pre-release patch is live for Diablo 2: Resurrected’s Public Test Realm (PTR) and introduces Terror Zones and various bug fixes to the game.
  • Terror Zones are an optional new activity that improves the leveling process to 99.
  • Terror Zones scale with the player level, providing monsters at least two levels higher than the host player and dropping loot and experience based on this level. 
  • PTR access is only available via the PC version of the game and can be accessed through the Battle.net launcher. 

Diablo 2: Resurrected’s Public Test Realm (PTR) 2.5 is the first addition to the game’s end-game content since Uber Tristram, following up on Diablo 2’s 1.11 patch that went live in August 2005. Diablo 2: Resurrected PTR 2.5 bring Terror Zones to the game, an alternative way to grind your character to level 99. Level 99 is the max character level and takes over 3 billion XP to achieve — no mean feat. Blizzard has stated with this update it wants to “offer an alternative to repeatedly farming Baal, Diablo, or Nihlathak.”

What are Terror Zones?

When playing a Terror-enabled instance of the game, demons will “terrorize” a certain area of the game on an hourly basis. Only certain zones in each Act can become terrorized. Upon entering a Terror Zone, an audio cue will sound to indicate the enemies, at least two levels higher, are on their way.
