Since the game's launch, Diablo 4 has added seasonal powers to almost every season. While their names and specific functions vary, they essentially all provide new combat benefits in a season-specific manner.
Season 10, the final season of 2025, is expected to launch on September 23rd. A month before that, Diablo 4 2.4.0 PTR will be available from August 19th to 26th, allowing you to preview and test the main gameplay of Season 10.
This PTR will allow you to experience the power of Season 10 new Chaos Perks in advance and, combined with them, craft new builds to farm Diablo 4 gold in new dungeons and in-game events in a seasonally specific way.
With this in mind, we'll introduce all Chaos Perks that will appear in the game and their combat effects.
Chaos Perks Overview
Chaos Perks, also known as Chaos Powers, are divided into general and class-specific types based on their stats. They rank on four rarity levels: magic, rare, legendary, and unique.
There are three general powers of each rarity, and every class has one specific Chaos Perk of each rarity, for a total of 36. Regardless of your playable class, you have access to 16 powers.
Equipping Chaos Powers activates their effects without attaching any other items. However, it's important to note that you can only equip one unique power and three non-unique powers per battle, and some perks may offer advantages as well as disadvantages.
However, by choosing perks wisely, they can be used in conjunction with your class skills and gear to craft new builds tailored for Season 10.
How To Obtain And Upgrade Chaos Powers?
In all Season 10 updates, Chaos Rift is a seasonal event. These rifts will randomly appear throughout Diablo 4, including dungeons. Killing the monsters that spawn from these rifts will reward you with Chaos Perks, as well as special rewards like Chaos Armor.
Once you've earned Chaos Perks, you can consume seasonal currency to upgrade them, up to level 10. However, upgrades only increase the inherent stats of your powers and don't grant any additional effects.
The exact currency name and the required amount per level won't be fully known until 2.4.0 PTR or even the release of Season 10. But honestly, this won't ruin your PTR experience.
