Each class in Diablo 4 Season 11 has new unique items, often leading to entirely new builds or playstyles. Barbarian's new unique item, Chainscourged Mail, allows for a continuous jumping playstyle.

Infinite Leap Barbarian build is more like a speed farming build. It's not particularly powerful, but it's very fun. it allows you for quick completion of content like Helltide, Dungeon, and Infernal Hordes through endless jumping.

Leap Barbarian Gameplay

The core of Infinite Leap Barbarian build relies on the unique effect of Chainscourged Mail. Its effect is that when you cast a damaging melee skill, that skill is disabled. Once all melee skills in your skill bar are disabled, they are reactivated, and their cooldowns are refreshed. For each skill disabled, your melee skill damage increases by 50-100%[x].

This means that if you only have one high-damage melee skill, you can use it infinitely. These pants make leapquake builds a breeze, and among all the new unique items in Season 11, it's definitely one of the top-tier items.

Leap Barbarian Gear

• Helm: Harlequin Crest (Ruby+Ruby)
• Chest Armor: Aspect of Bul-Kathos (Ruby+Ruby)
• Gloves: Vehement Brawler's Aspect
• Pants: Chainscourged Mail (Ruby+Ruby)
• Boots: Wildbolt Aspect
• Amulet: Melted Heart of Selig (Diamond)
• Ring 1: Bold Chieftain's Aspect (Diamond)
• Ring 2: Ring of Starless Skies (Diamond)
• Bludgeoning Weapon: Brawler's Aspect (Igni+Tec)
• Slashing Weapon: Aspect of Earthquakes (Neo+Ohm)
• Dual-Wield Weapon 1: Ramaladni's Magnum Opus (Ruby)
• Dual-Wield Weapon 2: Sabre of Tsasgal (Ruby)

Chainscourged Mail is the core starting gear for this build. To effectively utilize its unique effect, you cannot have other Brawling skills in your skill bar.

Harlequin Crest provides all skill levels and attributes, offering a significant damage boost. Melted Heart of Selig is one of the best mythic items in Season 11, providing abundant resources and survivability, making it ideal for Barbarians.

Wildbolt Aspect increases Leap Ranks, perfectly complementing this build, while Aspect of the Earthquake is the core of its damage output. It causes Barbarian's Leap to trigger Earthquakes, dealing high damage and providing substantial damage reduction.

Vehement Brawler's Aspect increases the area of effect of your Leap, which is crucial for fast farming.

Other Diablo 4 items, such as Ramaladni's Magnum Opus and Sabre of Tsasgal, provide damage amplification for Leap and Earthquake, enhancing your gameplay experience. Finally, since Leap is affected by attack speed, remember to stack it as much as possible when crafting equipment.

Leap is the primary movement and damage skill. If you have a 100% Lucky Hit Chance, you can efficiently trigger its effects. As long as you can hold down Leap skill, you can perform consecutive jumps. Combined with or using dodge to adjust your position, you can achieve high-speed movement and clearing mobs.

With only one Brawling skill, all three Shouts skills - War Cry, Challenging Shout, and Rallying Cry - can be used. They provide damage amplification, rage generation, and reduced damage taken.

Wrath of the Berserker grants Barbarian Berserking and Unstoppable status and increased damage. Ground Stomp is used to refresh ultimate skill cooldowns and manage rage issues. You also need to use Dominate Glyph in conjunction with Ground Stomp to ensure the Overpower effect on enemies is always up.

The ideal choice for Technique is Polearm, as it provides Lucky Hit chance and extra damage to wounded enemies. A Two-Handed Mace is also a strong alternative, offering slightly higher damage and faster animation speed.

• Marshal: Provides cooldown reduction for non-Shout abilities.

• Weapons Master: Restores Fury.
• Warbringer: Consuming Fury grants Fortify effect.

Infinite Leap Barbarian build is quite fun, but it might not perform very well in high-difficulty content like The Pit. On T4 difficulty, you can farm all content comfortably - especially if you enjoy a fast, spam-heavy farming playstyle

Every game has its own settings system. However, for some games, settings are simply menus for adjusting graphics or sound effects, while for others - especially shooters - they have a significant impact on the overall gameplay experience.

Helldivers 2, a third-person shooter incorporating popular alien invasion elements, also has many options in its settings system that are closely related to your shooting accuracy, movement, and other aspects.

Some of these options are readily visible and adjustable, but others are hidden and difficult for the average player to discover or understand, yet they are crucial to your Helldivers 2 experience. We'll introduce them to you below.

Visual Display

To ensure proper game operation and allow you to move and perform other actions normally, Helldivers 2 uses medium to high motion blur. However, this can sometimes make it difficult to find or see targets when rotating rapidly.

Therefore, it's recommended that you either set this parameter to zero in the graphics settings or keep only a slight effect, such as setting it to 25 or lower according to your preference.

Additionally, Helldivers 2 adds scene effects such as fog or rain clouds based on the current battlefield environment or map. If you want them to look more realistic and clear, you can adjust the settings under the graphics tab to change the resolution.

If your device has average performance, you can choose medium settings to maintain the best balance between realistic effects and reducing system load. After all, ensuring the game runs smoothly is more important.

It's worth mentioning that Helldivers 2 also has an advanced depth-of-field feature. You can choose to keep the entire game screen in sharp focus, or only keep your character and nearby environment sharp, while distant objects will be blurred.

You can turn off depth of field in the graphics menu, which by default makes distant enemies and buildings clearer, but this may affect device performance, especially when related to field of view.

Icon Display

This type of content can also be considered part of the visual display, but it focuses more on details. For example, there are actually four subtitle settings: off, only in the game world, only on screen, and full-screen. You can adjust these settings in the accessibility menu.

Furthermore, the crosshair color can be changed from the default white to other colors you prefer, or colors that better match the current combat atmosphere, including yellow, green, or red. This setting can also be found in the accessibility menu.

If you want your crosshair to be clearer when aiming, you can create an outline around the crosshair through the additional settings below the color options. This way, even if your white crosshair appears blurry in the background explosion, the outline will help you find your target.

Sound Settings

For the same reason as designing camera shake, the game includes a midnight mode in its sound design, allowing you to play the game at a lower overall volume, but primarily reducing other noises while amplifying important ambient sound effects.

This means you can play the game without being disturbed by noise, while still not missing important sound effects such as enemy invasions, allowing you to use sound to locate various objects and enemies.

Movement And Aiming

In Helldivers 2, the way you move and its consequences depend not only on your actions but also on the settings. Sometimes, improper settings can even lead to death.

For example, if you don't change the settings, you'll automatically climb buildings while sprinting by default, making you an easy target for enemy fire - even though your intention was just to sprint!

To solve this, you must go into the game settings and turn off the automatic climbing option while sprinting. Afterward, you can decide whether to climb buildings or terrain that requires climbing. Sometimes manual control isn't necessarily unintelligent.

Regarding shooting and aiming, although Helldivers 2 is essentially a third-person shooter, it allows you to quickly switch between third-person and first-person perspectives while aiming because the target's attack distance changes rapidly.

Usually, for a smoother switch, you need to enable dynamic aiming mode, but this mode only works when the aiming trigger type is set to "hold" and no controller is being used.

For example, if you hold down the right mouse button to aim in third-person view, you then need to press another button to switch to first-person view. This allows you to choose the control method as needed for faster perspective switching.

Furthermore, to enhance the game's cinematic feel and player immersion, Helldivers 2 incorporates camera shake in its shooting system. However, if your aiming skill isn't high, this so-called realism can actually hinder your gameplay.

Therefore, if you feel the upcoming combat requires calm shooting, or if a large-scale explosion scene is about to occur, you can open the display menu and turn off or reduce the camera shake.

On the other hand, the game's crosshair is also set to dynamic by default, meaning that the crosshair won't be visible when you're moving and not attempting to raise your weapon unless you hold down the aim button.

This setting is primarily suitable for tactics like heavy machine guns and anti-tank guns, but if you don't like it, open HUD menu, find the crosshair visibility setting, and change it from dynamic to visible.

This setup not only makes your weapon's crosshair visible while moving, but it also displays the crosshair when placing anti-tank guns, allowing you to aim only after the turret has finished rotating, thus gaining a better field of view on the battlefield.

However, for the core gameplay of "shooting," changing the settings is only one aspect; your final combat win rate mainly depends on your weapon's performance. Therefore, we recommend that you buy Helldivers 2 items in advance to arm your character.

Item Throwing Settings

Besides using guns to aim at enemies, throwing small melee weapons or grenades is also an important way to engage enemies in Helldivers 2.

You can remap items to the quick throw button via the throwable button, or if you have enough key space, you can map both simultaneously in the key binding settings, as quick throws save all the extra time of preparing throwables, speeding up the throwing process.

If you want to try this setting, please check Key Binding Combat tab and find the throwable and quick throw buttons.

These are some important Helldivers 2 settings and their impact on the actual gameplay. You can adjust them according to your personal needs and habits to create the perfect Helldivers 2 experience for you. Have fun!
