These new pets are made to help you get through the tough parts of the Darkzone easily.
Also, we've made a change to the Protein Pet. You don't have to have low health to use its special power anymore, which makes this pet a lot more useful.
Here are the two new pets we've added this season:
 Monarch's Mate |  Monarch Slayer |

This boss packs a punch with a health value of 90,000♥, making it a formidable opponent.
A Treasure Trove of Drops. What sets the Vampire Boss apart is its unique loot system. Rather than dropping its items, it generously offers a range of items usually dropped by other bosses – and in multiples per defeat. So, taking down the Vampire Boss rewards you with a bounty of valuable items, enhancing your collection significantly. Plus, the Vampire Boss is the exclusive source for the exciting new Vampire Mask.
