Predictions For The Next Hero

Closing Notes - The End End of Duplicates

In case you missed in there is a new blog post on the main Dota 2 site which details how the unboxing system works with new and existing treasure chests.

  Peek inside any treasure and you’ll notice a few changes.

  From now on, you will no longer have a chance to receive a duplicate item from opening a treasure multiple times; each time you unseal a treasure, you will find a different item.

  In addition to ensuring you won’t receive the same item twice, each time you unlock a treasure you will also have a chance to obtain bonus rewards. Bonus rewards are granted in addition to an item found inside a treasure, and some treasures feature multiple bonuses. This means you could gain two or more items each time you open a treasure!

  After you have unlocked all items within a treasure, the list of items that can be obtained from opening that treasure is reset and the items can be earned again in a new random order.

  Every treasure past and present now ensures that you will not receive duplicates, and has a selection of bonus items. If you’ve ever hesitated to unseal a treasure, take another look at what they have to offer!

  Looking for the perfect treasure to pillage for non-duplicate riches? Try the new Treasures of Radiant Arms and Dire Arms. Each unseals to reveal an entire hero set, which include the first sets made available for Lifestealer and Puck. Opening either treasure also gives you a chance to find the Vestments of the Fallen Princess, the first set for Vengeful Spirit, as a bonus reward!
