Elden Ring players are hard at work putting the new Tarnished Edition DLC’s gear to the test
Players are testing the weapons, armour and classes added through Elden Ring’s Tarnished Edition DLC, sharing boss fights and build experiments online. The response shows how even a small paid addition can renew interest in a long-established game by giving experienced players new ways to approach combat and character creation.
The $5 pack adds new starting classes, armour sets and horse armour, with some items hidden in unexpected locations. Leontiel’s Greatsword has proved especially popular for its matador-inspired skill, while the Idus Knight’s chestpiece is attracting players focused on appearance as well as defence. Players also report that the Heavy Knight’s high vigour and strength make it a durable melee option, particularly later in the game.
In short
- Players are enthusiastically testing Tarnished Edition gear.
- Leontiel’s Greatsword is a popular new weapon.
- The $5 DLC adds classes, armour and horse cosmetics.
Explained simply
Elden Ring is a fantasy role-playing game in which players explore a dangerous world, build a character and fight powerful enemies. Its combat relies on choosing weapons, armour and abilities to suit a player’s style.
The Tarnished Edition DLC is a paid add-on that brings extra starting classes and equipment, including armour for the player’s horse. Starting classes shape a character’s early strengths, while weapons and armour affect how they fight and how well they withstand attacks.
For experienced players, new equipment can create fresh ways to tackle familiar challenges and customise a character. That can renew interest in a game years after its release, even when an add-on is relatively small.
