The Betrayal league and Hardcore Betrayal league are upcoming challenge leagues.[1] They will launch on December 7, 2018.
In this league, the players assist Jun Ortoi on her mission to uncover and take down a mysterious group known as the Immortal Syndicate. Players can encounter a Syndicate member in a zone, along with their allies - or enemies. Once defeated, the member can be interrogated, killed, bribed, or coerced to betray other members. This process helps gather intelligence on the Syndicate, with the ultimate goal of sabotaging its divisions and defeating the Syndicate leader. Different rewards can be obtained based on who was placed in charge of a division, rank of members, and connections between other members. Syndicate members drop Veiled items which contain a mystery affix that can be converted into one of three different modifiers, which can be leveled up into stronger versions.
The league introduces a reworked master system to the base game. In the absence of the old Forsaken Masters sans Zana, Einhar Frey, Alva Valai, Niko the Mad, and Jun Ortoi have taken their place, offering tasks from their respective challenge leagues as missions.
All characters and stashes will be moved to Standard league and Hardcore league respectively when the leagues end. Characters that die in the Hardcore Betrayal league are immediately moved to the permanent Standard league.
League mechanic
The Betrayal league mechanic has the player assist Jun Ortoi in her vendetta against the Immortal Syndicate. On most maps, Syndicate events appear, which allow players to defeat and capture one or more Syndicate members. They can then be either interrogated or bargained with, which allows the player to gradually gather intelligence about the Syndicate's network and influence its composition. As soon as enough intelligence is gathered, the player and Jun can raid a Syndicate safehouse for valuable loot.
Syndicate divisions
There are four divisions of the Syndicate: fortification, transportation, research and intervention. Each member is assigned to a division, but this can change through bargains made after a member's capture. Each Syndicate event appearing in the world is associated with one of these divisions.
Fortification
In fortification events, a fort is placed on the map, defended by respawning Syndicate goons and one or more Syndicate members. The player and Jun must first destroy the fort's gate and then defeat the Syndicate members. This will stop their underlings from respawning.
Transportation
In transportation events, a caravan consisting of three carts, a number of goons and one or more Syndicate members proceeds towards an exit. The player and Jun must defeat the Syndicate members before the exit is reached.
Research
In research events, the player and Jun raid a Syndicate laboratory as Syndicate forces are in the process of destroying the evidence. They must befeated before all four evidence stashes are destroyed.
Intervention
In intervention events, the player is simply ambushed anywhere on a map by Syndicate members and their henchmen.
