The Pit Bubble Returns to Diablo 4

We missed you Pit Bubble!

Since the beginning of Season 14, the immunity bubble that would appear surrounding the Glyph upgrader after killing the Pit Guardian in The Pit, was no longer spawning. This created some friction amongst players, as surrounding enemies no longer de-spawned when the player completed the bar to spawn the Pit Guardian. Players sometimes got caught losing health or even dying while trying to upgrade their Glyphs.

Earlier today there was a blue post on the forums from Community Manager Lyricana confirming that "The pit bubble will be returning in an upcoming patch" with no date or other information. When today's patch was released, players were surprised with the return of the pit bubble!

Pit Bubble Updates

Blizzard had updated their patch notes to include the return of the bubble. With this there are some extra notes about the Pit bubble to keep in mind:

  • The bubble will spawn immediately if there is no Whisper ambush at the end of the Pit run
  • If a Whisper ambush is spawned, the bubble will be suppressed until the boss is killed

Patch 3.1.2

The return of the pit bubble was not mentioned in the patch notes for Patch 3.1.2, but definitely a very welcome surprise. If you would like to check out our summary of the patch notes for today's patch, check them out here.
