Diablo 2 Resurrected patch makes Horadric cubes more useful

Everyone loves the Horadric cube of Diablo 2, the evil transforming box of the classic RPG game.

Diablo 2 Resurrected patch 2.4.3 makes it easier for both players and Deckard Cain to use the Horadric cube, and adds some nice quality-of-life updates to the matchmaking menu as well.

If you're playing Diablo 2: Resurrected with mouse and keyboard, the new update adds a hotkey binding option that opens your Horadric cube (assuming you have one in your inventory). For players using the newer gamepad control scheme, Blizzard has added a new controller skill called 'Loot to Cube' – using this takes an item and places it directly into your Horadric cube.

This patch also fixes an issue that prevented Deckard Cain from identifying items stored in the Horadric cube - now the old man can see inside properly.

The latest patch also fixes some issues with the Barbarian's whirlwind skill, generally making it faster and more useful. You can now launch a new whirlwind, splash, or splash attack immediately after a whirlwind has ended, and the whirlwind's speed will now include any increased attack speed bonuses you get from your equipment.

As a result of all this, Blizzard says that tornado attacks will always be at least as fast as before, but slower weapons should be noticeably faster as of this update.

Multiplayer lobbies on PC now also have some new features: there's a new link quality tooltip that will appear when you hover your mouse pointer over the listed games, and you can search for available games by keyword or game name to filter results.

The full patch notes are available on Blizzard's official site. From June 30 to July 4, Diablo 2: Resurrected is holding a special Magic Find weekend where you will have a 50% bonus chance to find magic, rarities, sets and unique loot during your adventures.
