Fashion has always been a big part of Dauntless — after all, defending the last bastions of humanity is great and all, but what’s the point if you don’t look snazzy while you do it? Come update 0.8.0, however, there’s going to be a major rework to the game’s dye system. For starters, dyes will no longer be sold in “big, awkward bundles.” Instead, players will be able to buy 13 different sets of “curated dye trios,” which are groups of dyes “that work well together and speak to a theme.”
This will also come with a change in pricing, with the new trios being sold for 125, 250, and 600 platinum, though what determines the price differences between different trios is unclear. Nevertheless, the devs note, “This is a step up from our current price structure, so be sure to stock up before 0.8.0 if you want to save on existing dyes.” On top of that, eight dyes — Blood Moon, White, Black, Black Pearl, Peach, Ashen Brown, Straw, and Dust — will no longer be obtainable when 0.8.0 goes live, though it’s worth noting that players will keep any and all dyes they acquire before the update hits, so if you can’t live without any of those eight dyes, you might want to make sure you get your hands on them soon.
The dye rework will also introduce “a select set of dyes that can only be obtained from powerful Heroic and Heroic+ Behemoths.” To commemorate the occasion, update 0.8.0 will debut two new colors, Subzero (deep sapphire) and Sovereign (deep emerald). And lastly, players will also be able to earn dyes by progressing along each season’s Hunt Pass Elite Track, with the upcoming season five offering the Quicksilver and Bloodlust dyes for players to commemorate their participation in the season. For the full details on the upcoming dye system changes — and to check out some previews of the new hues coming with the update — be sure to catch the full post on the game’s official site.
