Unique parts: legendary weapons, Einherjar armor and new quests
Since the restart on 22 October at 16:53, Midgard has been running a big update built around unique parts (the Unique parts item). New quests pay them out, and the new legendary weapons and armor spend them. Everything is server-side; you don’t install anything. Where to get parts and what to spend them on is explained in Bounties and unique parts.
Legendary weapons
- New families: the Pistol Hellgun, the Crossbow Mantis, the Auger Reactor drill and the Impact Driver Reactor, e.g. Pistol Hellgun - URANUS.
- Added Project Z properties: Eraser Breeze, Gaus Breeze, Avenger and Berserk, plus Surgeon for Barbarian, Destructor and Flugen.
- Midgard’s Norse properties: Ragnarök, Valkyrie, Fenrir, Yggdrasil and Skadi on all 12 weapon families, and Mjölnir on the Sledgehammer Destructor and the Axe Barbarian. Try, for example, Machine Gun Bulldog - Ragnarök (+25% damage at night, +50% during a blood moon) or Axe Barbarian - Mjölnir. They can only be crafted; a bundle costs 40 parts.
- A commission for 45 parts gets you exactly the legendary weapon you want, at quality 6. Reforging for 10 parts turns a legendary weapon into a new bundle of its family. Scrapping a legendary weapon now gives you 10 parts instead of 1.
The full overview is in Legendary weapons.
Einherjar armor and Valhalla
Einherjar is Midgard’s first legendary armor: four pieces that upgrade the Maus armor, 15 parts each. The full set has the Valhalla bonus: when your health drops below 15%, no direct hit can hurt you for 3 s and you heal up to 25%. After that, a 10-minute cooldown runs.
Mind the threshold: a single hit that takes you from more than 15% straight to zero still kills you. Bleeding and burning keep going during those 3 s. The helmet schematic is the reward for finishing the new story; you buy the other schematics at the Radio Station.
New quests for unique parts
- Blood Bounty: from level 50, once per in-game week, a contract on minibosses and big bosses, 8 parts.
- Lost Expedition at tier 6: 3 parts.
- Restore Power at tier 5 and 6: 2 parts.
- Black market at the Radio Station: 1 part for 100,000 Dukes.
- Tier 7 missions give 1 extra part with a 50% chance (version 1.3.0 since 23 October at 00:55; for the first hour after the update a guaranteed 3, and from 18:00 until version 1.3.0 a guaranteed 1).
Shared trader missions pay parts to every party member.
The Twilight of the Gods story
Four new chapters follow chapter 20: The Horn Sounds, The Last Muster, The Wolf Breaks Its Chains and Twilight of the Gods. Together they give 40 unique parts and, at the end, the Einherjar helmet schematic. If you’ve already finished chapter 20, the first of them appears in your journal on its own. More in Midgard Stories.
Two Project Z fixes
The fixes also apply to weapons you already own:
- Spear Combistick - Masterpiece, Guardian and Surgeon lose the extra Crisis bonus (a 25% chance of +200% damage) they had by mistake. They keep their own property.
- Machine Gun Bulldog - URANUS and SMG-5 Zinger - URANUS now get their bonus against elites, minibosses and bosses, which didn’t work before.
Details are in Project Z fixes.
