Hunting for Chaos Armor is a huge part of the Diablo 4 Season 10 experience, as the new feature can be a complete game-changer for builds. With Chaos Armor allowing certain Uniques to appear as types of gear other than their original, this seasonal mechanic allows Diablo 4 players to create gear combos not possible in previous seasons. However, obtaining Chaos Armor can be somewhat tricky, and Diablo 4 players will want to utilize a consistent method of farming for this gear that yields guaranteed results.
There are a variety of sources that Chaos Armor can drop from, including from Chaos Rifts starting at Torment 1 difficulty and higher. Additionally, battling the new Infernal Hordes boss Bartuc, Lord of Chaos, has an increased chance for Chaos Armor to drop with a guaranteed drop on Torment 4 difficulty. To even access Bartuc, players need 666 Burning Aether, and with Chaos Rifts not guaranteed to drop Chaos Armor, there is only one clear way to farm the seasonal gear that provides consistent success.
Diablo 4's Best Chaos Armor Farm Guarantees Drops with a Bit of Investment
In order to guarantee Chaos Armor drops from this farming method, players will need to do a bit of setup. The success of this farm hinges on players finishing the season journey and spending the Smoldering Ashes they earn on the Blessings that increase Nightmare Sigil drops with the Chaos Rifts affix, as well as the increased chance for Chaos Armor to drop from Greater Infernal Caches. Doing so sets players up to take advantage of Diablo 4‘s best Infernal Warp farm, which can translate into seasonal reputation and Greater Infernal Caches that are guaranteed to have Chaos Armor in them.
Complete the Season 10 Journey for Smoldering Ashes
The first thing Diablo 4 Season 10 players will want to do to set up this Chaos Armor farm is to complete the seasonal journey by following the missions assigned under the associated tab. The rewards for completing each chapter include Smoldering Ashes, which can be invested in Seasonal Blessings that give players different benefits. In this case, players should prioritize maxing out the Urn of Chaos Nightmares first, followed by the Urn of Chaos Armor.
The Urn of Chaos Nightmares increases the chances of Nightmare Sigils dropping with the Chaos Rifts affix, while the Urn of Chaos Armor increases the chances of Chaos Armor dropping from Greater Infernal Caches. At 4 Ashes invested, the Urn of Chaos Armor guarantees a 100% chance that a piece of Chaos Armor will drop from Greater Infernal Caches. Now, all players need to do is find a consistent way to earn these caches.
Use Nightmare Sigils with Chaos Rift Affix to Farm Infernal Warp
With the 40% increased chance for Nightmare Sigils with the Chaos Rifts affix to drop from maxing out the Urn of Chaos Nightmares, players can spend time in Helltides farming for these keys. Running Diablo 4‘s Nightmare Dungeons with this affix is the most consistent way to earn Infernal Warp from Chaos Rifts, which will be a necessary component for obtaining Greater Infernal Caches.
Players may also find the odd Chaos Armor drop from these Chaos Rifts as well, although this is not guaranteed.
Trade Infernal Warp for Warp Scrolls and Farm Reputation for Greater Infernal Caches
With enough Infernal Warp, players can spend it on Warp Scrolls at the vendor next to the reputation board in Yelesna. These Warp Scrolls grant players 6,000 seasonal reputation, which will allow them to advance the reputation board quests to earn a series of useful rewards, including a repeatable Greater Infernal Cache reward after they reach tier 24. With the Urn of Chaos Armor active, each of these Greater Infernal Caches will be guaranteed to drop a piece of Chaos Armor. So, the final loop for this farm is:
- Farm Helltides for Nightmare Sigils with the Chaos Rifts affix
- Run Nightmare Dungeons while closing Chaos Rifts for Infernal Warp
- Exchange the Infernal Warp for Warp Scrolls
- Use Warp Scrolls to increase seasonal reputation and earn repeated Greater Infernal Caches with a 100% chance to drop Chaos Armor
Completing the seasonal reputation board also grants players a Resplendent Spark, which can be used to craft Mythic gear. It’s a nice bonus for gearing up on Chaos Armor through this farming method.
