Diablo 4: List of all Unique items and how to get them

Diablo 4 places a heavy emphasis on grinding for top-tier gear in its endgame, and in terms of both rarity and power, you won't find anything better than Unique drops. These phenomenal items are stronger than even Legendaries, and feature some of the most impressive affixes and bonuses in the entire game.

Because of how immensely powerful they are, Uniques are must-have items for anyone looking to dominate Diablo 4's endgame. Therefore, we've put together this helpful guide that goes over everything you need to know about them, including an explanation on what separates Uniques drops from Legendary ones, how you can grind for them, and a complete list of every Unique and the bonuses that each one provides.

Diablo 4: Unique vs. Legendary gear

Uniques (identified by their brown color) come in both generic all-class and class-specific varieties, and with their high number of affix stat buffs and unique Legendary Aspect-like bonuses, are very similar to Diablo 4's Legendary items. However, there are some key differences that distinguish the two and solidify Unique loot as the most desirable type in the game.

While Legendaries have randomized types of affixes, Unique gear has static ones that will always appear on the item whenever it drops. Also, even though the potency of these affixes is randomized, the power of affixes on Uniques is typically higher than what you'll usually get with Legendaries.

The special effects provided by Uniques are also considerably stronger than most Legendary Aspect buffs, which is saying a lot considering how valuable Legendaries can be. Hilariously, Blizzard even had to nerf the Gohr's Devastating Grips Unique (it makes the Barbarian's Whirlwind skill cause an explosion when it ends) because when paired with a well-made Whirlwind build, it was capable of one-shotting some of the toughest bosses in the endgame.

It's also important to note that each individual Unique will always take up the same slot on your character (e.g. the previously mentioned Gohr's Devastating Grips always spawn as gauntlets). Additionally, you can't extract Unique effects and imprint them on other pieces of gear at the Occultist like you can with Legendaries and Legendary Aspects.

Diablo 4: How to get Unique items

To nobody's surprise, Unique items in Diablo 4 have an incredibly low drop rate compared to other types of loot because of how much they'll level up the power of your builds. However, there are a few things you'll need to do before you have a chance of getting them to spawn in the first place.

First, you'll need to complete the campaign and beat the Cathedral of Light Capstone Dungeon while playing on World Tier 2: Veteran. This will unlock World Tier 3: Nightmare. You'll then need to kill boss monsters and open Tortured Gifts in Helltide locations while playing on World Tier 3 and hope you get a Unique to drop.

Notably, some Uniques will only start dropping in World Tier 4: Torment, which you can't access until you beat the Fallen Temple Capstone Dungeon on World Tier 3. At the moment, it's unclear which Uniques these are, though we'll update this article as soon as we know.

Some Uniques drop from specific bosses. Right now, we know of two: the Mother's Embrace ring that drops after fighting the campaign's final boss, and The Butcher's Cleaver axe that you have a small chance of obtaining after you kill him.

These Uniques can be equipped by multiple (and in some cases, all) classes. Compared to class-specific Uniques that buff or alter specific class skills and systems, these ones affect broader mechanics that every class interacts with.
