4 Major Changes in the Nioh Beta Demo That Drastically Improved the Experience

No More Weapon Durability Meter

While the alpha did provide a good drop rate for weapons and repair items, it was a hassle to have to constantly sift through your equipment menu to look for unbroken weapons every few minutes. In the beta, Team Ninja has completely done away with the weapon durability system, meaning that players can now stick to their favorite weapons with no consequence, and no interruption to the flow of gameplay.

In a sense, this does make the game easier because you’ll now be able to grind in familiar areas with no obstacles. However, this is far preferable to having to potentially grind for repair items all the time just to make sure your weapon’s in tip-top shape.
