Vindictus Unveils Season 4 Episode 9: "Desperate Deterrent" Update with Increased Level Cap

NEXON released the latest update for its classic hack n' slash action MMORPG, Vindictus, inviting players to explore Season 4 Episode 9, titled "Desperate Deterrent." This update raises the game's level cap from 115 to 120 and introduces a new raid, "The One Who Protects the Altar."

New Raid and Level Cap Increase:

• The One Who Protects the Altar Raid: Set in the Mount Celsina region of Toward Taratha, this raid is reserved for the highest-level players, level 120. Participants will confront the formidable boss, Sreng, and his army of giants, as they attempt to prevent the resurrection of Lord Balor. Successful heroes completing the raid before Tuesday, July 9, will receive bonus Evil Cores.
• Level Cap Increase to 120: Accompanying the new raid is an increase in the level cap, allowing players to advance to level 120. With this new level cap, players can access powerful "Uaithne" weapons and armor, obtainable through the raid or High Expertise equipment crafting. Advancing from level 116 to 120 by Tuesday, July 23, rewards players with Boxtryoshkas and other valuable in-game items. Additionally, reaching level 120 unlocks the prestigious “Title: Powerful Paragon.”

Limited-Time Rewards:

• Additional Raid Rewards: Players engaging in Red Moon’s Energy or Niflheim region raids, Special Dungeons, and Royal Army raids before Tuesday, July 9, will earn Chieftain’s Proficiency Sweep Coupons. These can be exchanged at Expertise Stalls for valuable items, including Chieftain’s Stamps and Chieftain’s Rapid Support Potions. Collecting Chieftain’s Stamps fills up the Chieftain's shape, unlocking Blessing Stone Collection Boxes and Superior Enhancement Elixir Boxes as extra bonuses.
• Plink Plink Vending Machine Tokens: Until Tuesday, July 23, these tokens unlock special missions. Completing these missions grants players Plink Plink Vending Machine Coupons, which can be exchanged for Clone Outfit Crafting Boxes and 100% Completely Bound Success Enchant Boxes.

Despite being over 14 years old, Vindictus still gets updated regularly. While it isn't as popular as it used to be, the game still maintains a core playerbase. It's available both on Steam and on Nexon's own launcher.
