Latest Dauntless Update 1.55 May 20 Patch Notes:
NEW BEHEMOTH
The Chronovore has arrived in the Shattered Isles across an infinite weave of dimensions. It’s up to you to destroy it whenever it rears its head in our own timeline. Progress through the free Chronoslayer Event Pass to unlock the Chronovore’s Ultra Armour set. This Event Pass unlocks upon completing the “Impossible Isle” quest line and will never expire.
NEW ISLAND IN THE HUNTING GROUNDS
A new destination has been added to the Hunting Grounds. Travel to the Paradox Breaks and face the Chronovore. Summon the beast at the temple ruins using Chrono-Stones collected from Elder and Primal Behemoths.
NEW TECHNIQUE PERK
The Pulse perk turns every tenth hit into a critical strike. Level up this perk to increase the frequency of critical strikes. At max level, every fifth hit is a critical strike!
NEW LEGENDARY ABILITY
Craft the new Chronovore legendary weapons and control time itself. Activate this ability to rewind your Slayer’s position by three seconds. Any adverse side effects of time travel have yet to be discovered …
REWARD CACHE
The Reward cache has been bolstered with new content in 1.6.3, including a brand new set of weapon skins and the new Infinity Guard armour set
