What is D2R Ladder Reset Season 2

Ladder season is a very distinctive feature in Diablo 2 Resurrected. Players will have the opportunity to unlock a series of new Runewords once the D2R Ladder season 2 start! These Runewords are brand-new affixes that have never appeared in the series, but the Runewords are exclusive to the Ladder only just like the original version of Diablo II, they cannot be used in Non-Ladder. At the end of the Ladder season, players who have successfully produced these Runewords will move their Ladder characters to the Non-Ladder. 

D2R Ladder Season 2 Release Date

Diablo 2 Resurrected Ladder Season 2 could be reset sometime mid to late September most likely.

D2R Season 2 Ladder Modes

Compared with the classic version of Diablo II, Diablo II: Resurrected also has four different Ladder modes, including:

1. Classic Ladder: the common version of Ladder game, including four acts.

2. Hardcore Ladder: the expert mode version of the Ladder game (only 1 life), including a four act game.

3. Expansion Ladder: the common version of the Ladder game, including the five act game, which includes the content of the "Lord of Destruction" expansion.

4. Hardcore expansion Ladder: the expert mode version of the Ladder game (only 1 life), including five acts of the game, which includes the content of the "Lord of Destruction" expansion.

Differences Between D2R Ladder & Non-Ladder 

The main difference between the Ladder mode and the Non-Ladder mode is that some special high-level hidden items can be dropped in the Ladder mode, and some high-level Runeword dedicated to the Ladder mode and some block formulas dedicated to the Ladder mode can be used. Although it is not possible to directly drop or make exclusive equipment for the Ladder in the Non-Ladder mode, you can trade with players of the season to obtain the D2R Ladder items after the end of the Ladder season.

After the end of the season, Ladder characters will be transformed into Non-Ladder characters, which is completely consistent with D3. After the character in the Ladder mode is transferred to the Non-Ladder character, the special equipment of the Ladder is brought into the Non-Ladder mode and the Runeword of the Ladder can continue to be used in the Non-Ladder.

The price of the Ladder mode is different from that of the Non-Ladder mode. Players who are ready to switch to the Non-Ladder mode need to make sufficient preparations before the end of the Ladder season.
