<\/p>\n
MOD, an Assassin hacker, has created a new type of simulation called \u201cDomains.\u201d These trials are designed to help the Dark Animus users sharpen their combat and survival skills. Those who can rise to the challenge can earn dozens of new and remixed outfits, weapons, trinkets and engravings.<\/p>\n
The higher the difficulty, the more gameplay modifiers will be applied. The goal is to push you out of your comfort zone and make you rethink your loadouts. A strategy that works in one Domain may not in the next.\u00a0\u201cTime to get those Mythic and Artifact upgrades you\u2019ve been putting off!\u201d<\/p>\n
MOD has an exclusive shop and in-game currency you can use to purchase new end-game gear sets, new powerful engravings, and a progression tree to support the Domain\u2019s increasing challenges. As you push through higher difficulties, MOD will reward you with weapons and armors that longtime Animus users may recognize.<\/p>\n
And you will need it all if you want to beat the hardest challenge levels (and get the secret rewards along the way!)<\/p>\n
Note:\u00a0None of these items will ever be in the store or the exchange. These are Domain-exclusive, for bragging rights only!<\/p>\n
