It’s entirely possible to play Dauntless solo, but the game is leagues better with friends around, and though most teams can be formed by simply hopping into a queue and waiting for matchmaking to do the work, September 3rd will introduce a new Slayer Links system that will make hunting with friends a rewarding experience in the literal sense.
Players can create a Slayer Link by going to the Social menu, opening the Slayer Links section, and inviting someone from their friends list to be linked up. Three of these links can be made at a time and last for seven days, and doing so will reward players with Slayer Link XP earnings alongside the usual Hunt Pass XP to get rewards from a unique pool, including the rare Crown of Friendship head cosmetic.
In addition to this new friend-centered system, September 3rd will add a Farslayer’s Fall mini-pass which will feature a number of returning fan favorite cosmetics. There’s a quick video showing off the returning costume goodies below, so if any Slayers missed out on them the last time, then they’re getting a second chance.
