Mechanics

Upon killing a rare monster, the player gains all of its mods for the next 20 seconds. You also gain the mods if a Minion, Trap, Mine or Totem kills a rare monster; this is an exception to the usual definition of "you".

The following mods can not be gained by the player:

  • FracturedFractured
    Nemesis
  • Inner TreasureInner Treasure
    Nemesis
    Monster drops 1 additional Unique Item (Hidden)
  • Soul ConduitSoul Conduit
    Nemesis
    Corpse can not be destroyed (Hidden)
    Can not be dominated (Hidden)

Effects

An example showing the active mods stolen from slain enemies. Displayed mods: Frenzy Charges, Power Charges, Headhunter Buff, "Accuracy and Crits" Aura, Endurance Charges, "Energy Shield" Aura, "Medium Physical Damage" Aura, Tailwind, Inspiration Charges

Common mods that players can gain from killing rare enemies are listed in the table below. It is possible to gain all of these mods at once, if players can consistently kill rare enemies, therefore, it is possible to activate extreme defensiveness and huge damage boosts. Players will commonly gain mods that grant them a proximity shield, mods that multiply player's energy shield upto 10 times, and mods that grant improve damage and critical strike chance.

While the Headhunter has stolen mods from a slain enemy, it will display the activated mods next to the player's auras. The monster modifiers that Headhunter has stolen sometimes use alternate names, eg "Life Regen Aura" for the VitalityVitalityAura, Spell, AoE

Note: It is not possible to gain any "negative" mods from enemies such as curses or hexes. Mods gained will always have a positive effect either to improve the player's defense or offensive capability.
