Though gamers are frustrated by the frequent one-shot deaths in Season 4's Pit, difficulty is an expected aspect of the Diablo 4 endgame.

For the most part, Diablo 4 Season 4 has been an enormous success. Players have responded well to the recent PTR updates, which include deeper crafting features, better Aspect inventory management, and permanent Helltides.

A record number of people have played Diablo 4 on Steam thanks to positive word-of-mouth evaluations from contented players. Unfortunately, there are a few glitches in Season 4.

Players are observing an unexpected rise in one-shot deaths as they advance through The Pit of Artificers, the game's endgame challenge. Some people have been so frustrated by this that they've gone so far as to declare it's "ruining" the game.

You can upgrade your preferred equipment using strong endgame materials found in the Pit of Artificers. It is far more difficult than what players can do, with adversaries up to level 200 being produced.

The issue is that opponents are one-shotting players before they ever reach that level. Players cannot be saved by even having 50,000 HP and maximum resistances, as stated in one of the numerous Reddit threads expressing concerns about the problem. One said, "I still get one shot by bosses at Pit 75."

Not only are bosses to blame, but post-death mechanics are also a recurring source of criticism. "Seeing all the different garbage that the enemy leave behind when they die is the issue, in my opinion. That's how I die 99 percent of the time," a user wrote.

It is currently unknown if this is a purposeful aspect of the challenge or something that needs to be rebalanced.

The development team of Diablo 4 has declared that patch notes for the upcoming release would be made available as soon as possible. They might provide some insight into the issue.
