The worst possible aspect award goes to from Diablo4

That's some juicy loot you've got there, Diablo 4 Gold. Finally, there's the Sacred Unique Staff just below, which has been deemed the "most worthless unique ever" by the Sorcerer unfortunate enough to own it.

I present the most worthless unique ever: from Diablo4

Considering the vast, vast amount of individual loot items in Blizzard's game, and how this number gets even bigger when you factor in Aspects, there's inevitably going to be some gear that just turns out to be utterly useless for everyone simply by pure chance. If it isn't happening to you, it's pretty funny, but if we were to land these items, it'd be another story entirely.

You can read up on our Diablo 4 Battle Pass guide for a full look over how the debut season will work in the game when it arrives.

A Diablo 4 player obtained a bow that had a one in 175,616 chance of dropping, and declared that it's "still crap."

The player in question is the individual behind the Reddit post seen just below. They've managed to get their hands on a very elusive Eaglehorn bow, which is classed as an Ancestral Unique Bow in Diablo 4, one of the rarest items in the game. According to their comment though, it's not that good of a find.

 


Just wanted to show my 1 in 25 million Eaglehorn bow from Diablo4

So why does this very rare bow suck? It all comes down to a bug. Commenters say crossbows are better for the third in-game season in a row in Diablo 4 - purely because the crossbows themselves are actually bugged and deal way more damage than they're meant to.

This bug supposedly comes about if you've got points in a crossbow's Weapon Mastery. If you use the 'Puncture' skill with the crossbow, your next core weapon ability is seemingly guaranteed to do five times the damage it's meant to. This is a bug and one that tears apart any foe at that.

You might also be wondering why the Eaglehorn bow had a one in 175,616 chance of dropping, instead of one in 25 million like the player claims. It turns out that all Eaglehorn bows' Dexterity statistic doesn't offer all the numbers between 1 and 10 for the player on a randomly generated roll.

Only numbers one, five, eight, and 10 are possible in the Dexterity category when the bow is generated. This means you've got a 25%, or one in four chance of getting a 5 Dexterity value when you obtain the bow, and not a 10%, or one in 10 chance, as most players probably suspect.

Still, that's not knocking the feat of obtaining the bow itself - it's just that this bow is redundant when the crossbows are still broken. There are a few Diablo 4 players in the comments saying that they've been grinding out the action RPG in an attempt to get the Eaglehorn bow, but now they're cutting that journey short after seeing this post.

You might have Diablo 4 pre-order bonuses waiting for you if you purchased the game before it fully released, or if you've since bought either the Digital Deluxe or Ultimate Editions of the game. Some of the items, such as the special Inarius emote are already unlocked and just need to be equipped, while other items, such as the mounts, need to be unlocked by making significant Diablo 4 story progress - don't expect to receive instant gratification from your buying choice! Here's exactly how you can get your Diablo 4 pre-order bonus items to use as you play.
