As we all know, Diablo 2: Resurrected has been officially released, and players can experience this game on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. In Diablo 2: Resurrected, many equipment players can find have many different statistics, such as increasing elemental resistance or increasing the chance of blocking. There are even some less obvious property changes, such as light radius.
Diablo 2: The only effect of the light radius in Resurrected is the amount of light around the character in the Diablo 2 Resurrected Items dark area. This may be in a dungeon, cave or above ground at night. No matter whether it is a large or small light radius, there is not much advantage, and it seems to be a mechanism left over from the original Diablo. However, it will help when the player searches for hard-to-find dungeons such as the Claw Viper Shrine in Diablo 2: Resurrected.
In the first Diablo, the increased light radius will remind the enemy of the presence of the character more quickly. This has caused some players to equip equipment with as small a radius as possible so that they can actually sneak into some enemies. This has been tested in Diablo 2, but unfortunately it does not work in the same way. It is useful in the original sequel to illuminate the environment to discover loot and advanced enemies.
If having a larger light radius is indeed attractive to players, then they should know that their basic attributes start from 13, and the maximum limit is 18. This means they only need to equip items totaling +5. Players should pay attention to more similar hidden game techniques. In Diablo 3, Light Radius becomes redundant because the game is much brighter than the previous game.
The developers also did not restore the ability to Buy Diablo 2 Resurrected Gold sneak attacks on the enemy with a low radius, so the statistics were completely destroyed. Unless the developers of Diablo 4 choose to redo the system, it seems unlikely that Light Radius will return in the upcoming sequel.
