It's been seven years, but Valve surprised the community by releasing Diretide just before Halloween.
Halloween is this weekend and fans were given a big treat with the release of 2020 Diretide. It seems that seven years of ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Giff DIRETIDE has finally paid off and it looks glorious.
The 2020 Diretide comes with an in-game custom mode and reward drops in any normal or ranked match.
The Hallowed Chest of the Diretide, which can drop in any matchmaking game or in the Dire tide event, includes more than 60 seasonal and spooky effects and cosmetics for the heroes, couriers, deaths and kill streaks.
However, to unlock each chest players will need to purchase a chest key for $2.50. The treats inside the chest contain immortal items, immortal sets, contributors sets, and ultra-rare emblems created in four different colors.
60 cosmetics – 5 tiers:
- Tier 1 treats: a total of 32 contributors item sets
- Tier 2 treats: a total of 16 sets coming with an ambient effect
- Tier 3 treats: a total of 8 immortal items for Shadow Shaman, Undying, Phantom Assassin, Phantom Lancer, Omniknight, Mars, Bane and Grimstroke
- Tier 4 treats: a total of 4 immortal sets for Juggernaut, Slark, Snapfire and Sniper
- Tier 5 treats: ultra-rare Emblems of the Diretide coming in four different colors.
Don't worry if you can't get your favorite item. Valve's new “improved marketability” feature allows the players to buy any of the items from the market. There is also a recycling system allowing players to combine 10 items of the same tier to receive a random item of the tier immediately above, up to tier 4 drops.
Diretide 2020 is now live and will end on the 22nd of December.
