Old God's Rite is a Seasonal Mod from Episode: Revenant.

Acquisition

Unlocked on tier 5 of the Slayer Baron Apothecary Satchel Seasonal Artifact. This perk was added in Act III of Episode: Revenant.

Usage

This perk creates a shower of enemy-seeking projectiles after collecting a Void Breach and damaging enemies with Void weapons.

Projectile Mechanics

• Activation: Pick up Void Breach → Deal Void weapon damage
• Projectile Type: Seeking (tracks enemies)
• Damage Output: High - can clear red bar groups
• Duration: Brief projectile storm effect

BOOST Effect

With the correct Tonic active:

• Enhanced Generation: More projectiles spawn
• Trigger: On final blows instead of just damage
• Increased Coverage: Wider area of effect

Void Breach Sources

Methods to generate Void Breaches:

• Void Renewal: Void kills during Devour
• Power from Pain: Tonic bonus on weakened kills
• Supernova: After weakening pulse
• Seasonal Activities: Episode-specific sources

Strategic Applications

• Add Clear Monster: Projectiles handle groups efficiently
• Chain Reactions: Projectiles can trigger more breaches
• Boss Damage: Multiple projectiles hit single targets
• Safe Engagement: Attack from cover while projectiles seek

Synergies

Creates powerful loops with:

• Void Renewal: Breach generation during Devour
• Power from Pain: Weaken → Devour → Breaches
• Supernova: Weaken enemies for easier kills
• Void Weapons: Graviton Lance, Le Monarque

Visual Confusion

• Revenant Act III trailer showed this with Slayer's Fang
• Community initially thought it was weapon perk
• Actually artifact perk creating the projectile effect
• Works with any Void weapon after breach pickup

Build Optimization

• Void Primary: Consistent projectile generation
• Breach Generation: Focus on creating breaches
• Add Dense Content: Maximize projectile value
• Warlock Void: Natural Devour access helps

Combat Applications

• Gambit: Excellent for blocker clearing
• Seasonal Activities: High enemy density
• Strikes: Add phases become trivial
• Solo Content: Additional damage source

Notes

• Projectile damage scales with power level
• Cannot trigger on immune targets
• Brief cooldown between activations
• Visual effect is distinctive purple rain
