Last Epoch Enhances Minions Significantly in Season 3

Sure, here it goes:

—

So, Last Epoch—this game that’s been out since 2024—like, it’s not just another action RPG. You get to time travel, crawl through dungeons, and mix up your characters in all sorts of cool ways. It’s a wild ride. Anyway, they just announced something, and honestly, I’m both hyped and puzzled.

Picture this: minions in the game will now have an “Assassinate mode.” I mean, come on! In the third season, which is coming soon, you can have these little guys focus on enemies from a distance, aiming at those rare baddies and bosses. But wait, there’s also a “Protect mode” if you want them to hang out close by. The switch is guided by icons—a couple of swords mean they’re ready to assassinate; a shield means they’re in protective vibes. Seems simple, but knowing me, I’d keep forgetting which is which.

And you know what’s even more fun? They’ve decided to update how these minions pick their targets. So, now they won’t just hop around like random popcorns in a pan—apparently. They’ll stick with one enemy till it’s down, which, let’s face it, should’ve been a thing from the start. But, hey, better late than never, right?

I digress. With Season 3 also comes this update for the Beastmaster’s minions—like Raptor, Scorpion, and Bear—getting some shiny new nodes. And speaking of something random, players can now flaunt their cosmetics in Offline Mode. Remember those times when the internet just throws a fit? Well, now you can still look cool in-game without it. You gotta play online just once to set it up, though. Not too bad.

Oh, and did I tell you about the Merchants’ Guild updates? No? Well, they’re tweaking some filters to make shopping easier. Plus, they’re introducing these tokens so you can snag items without needing favors or a specific rank. It’s like a small gift to make gaming life smoother.

Anyway, these updates are dropping on August 21. So, if you see me zoning out in front of my screen, you know what’s up. Game developers just keep on refining and adding new stuff, which is always a win in my book—or screen, whatever.
