How does Chaos Armor work in Diablo 4 Season 10

Chaos Armor is one of the many new toys added in Diablo 4 Season 10, and the opening days have opened up new ways to design your build.

Unlike the Uniques, these armor pieces allow you to surpass the normal slot restrictions. We can finally try them out with the start of Season of Infernal Chaos. If you’re still confused about how they work, this guide will break down how these gears work and how to use them to their full potential.

Diablo 4 Chaos Armor explained

Chaos Armors aren’t entirely standalone pieces of gear found in the game. So far, any Unique you get was tied to a fixed slot. Chaos Armor variants allow you to have the same Unique usable for another slot, while improving its stats. For example, I get a Unique that fits into my Helm slot. You can now get the same Unique, which will fit into a different slot. It’s not just a different armor slot; Chaos Armor will have the same item power, while offering better stats.

• Chaos Armor is always at maximum item power.
• 20% stronger than the base Unique power.
• Will have one or more Greater Affixes.

These gears are extremely powerful and offer the freedom to go past the limitations of your existing build. They’re account-specific, so you can’t trade them with other players. When using a Unique’s alternate version, you can’t use its original form simultaneously.

How to get Chaos Armor in Diablo 4

There are various ways to obtain these gear pieces in Season 10.

• Chaos Rifts and Mythic Chaos Rifts are excellent sources for finding Chaos Armor. The Mythic variants are much harder than the normal Chaos Rifts, but offer better rewards.
• The new Bartuc boss fight also offers a chance to find Chaos Armor (based on your luck).
• There’s a slight chance to get Chaos Armor from Infernal Hordes.
