Diablo 4 Streamer Rob2628 has revealed just how much the Season 5 patch buffs Mythic Unique drops. The results are an insane two drops within three minutes.
Diablo 4 Season 5 is here and despite a rocky start with server lag and crashes, some happy accidents have arisen from the chaos. Devs have decided to keep an unintended carryover of Tempering Manuals from Season 4 and some players are experiencing rapid level-ups from a new bug.
Of course, there are also a bunch of intended goodies like Hellbreach Dungeons, Infernal Hordes, and the newly reworked Mythic Uniques. In fact, the new drop rates for those Mythic Uniques in Diablo 4 Season 5 have many players convinced that they’re bugged too.

Diablo 4 Streamer Rob2628 has revealed an insane Mythic Unique farm with baffling drop rates. However, players aren’t exactly thanking him for it.
In a new video uploaded to his YouTube channel, Rob2628 has applied the Diablo 4 Season 5 patch but is logged into a character in the game’s Eternal Realm. The streamer has carried over enough materials to frequently summon the Tormented variant of Lord Zir.

In just five encounters with Zir, Rob2628 manages to pull two Mythic Uniques in the span of a few minutes. This includes the coveted Harlequin Crest or Shako if you’re spicy.

A series of buffs to the drop rates of Mythic Uniques for Diablo 4 Season 5 means that each Tormented boss has a 7.3% chance to drop one. Rather than thanking Rob2628 for the info, players are flaming him for revealing what they believe is a bug.
“Damnit Beavis, don’t make them nerf it before I even get a chance to get home,” one user said. “Why make a video like this knowing Blizzard follows you?” another responded. “Not everyone can play all day and get paid, some of us have real jobs and would like a chance to get some Mythics too after work.”

It’s more likely the result of new increases to Mythic Unique drop rates, and a small amount of luck.
