Gameplay Explained: Loot & Progression in Crimson Moon

Crimson Moon · published 22 Jul 2026, 16:39 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

One of the most exciting parts of every hunt in Crimson Moon is never knowing what you'll discover next. 

As you fight your way through the fallen city of Gildenarch, you'll uncover a huge variety of weapons, armour, trinkets, consumables and powerful upgrades that can dramatically change the way you approach combat. 

Every Hunt Rewards Exploration 

Loot can be earned in a variety of ways throughout your journey. 

Search every corner of Gildenarch, defeat powerful elite enemies and towering bosses, or complete missions to earn valuable rewards. 

The deeper you venture into the city, the greater the risks - but also the greater the rewards. 

Purify Your Arsenal 

Finding powerful equipment during a hunt is only part of the journey. 

As you progress, you'll be able to purify the gear you discover, permanently adding it to your collection. Once purified, that equipment becomes available at the Loadout Station, allowing you to equip it before future hunts. 

This means every successful run expands your arsenal, giving you more opportunities to experiment with different weapons, armour, trinkets and combat builds. 

Discover New Builds 

Not every Nephilim fights the same way. 

Some equipment belongs to larger armour collections and synergistic gear sets designed around different playstyles. Whether you prefer aggressive, high-risk combat or a more resilient defensive approach, discovering new equipment opens the door to entirely new ways to tackle Gildenarch. 

You'll also be able to upgrade your favourite weapons and armour over time, increasing their rarity and preparing yourself for the increasingly dangerous challenges that lie ahead. 

Greater Risk. Greater Rewards. 

As you push deeper into Gildenarch, you'll encounter stronger enemies, rarer loot and even greater opportunities to refine your build. 

For those seeking an even greater challenge, higher difficulty levels offer increased rewards, including more opportunities to earn higher-rarity gear. 

Every hunt is another chance to discover powerful equipment, experiment with new combinations and prepare for the battles still to come.
