He has already been very clear on his mission with Torchlight: Infinite: “I will join the team as the consulting producer and together we will make the most playable hack and slash game.”

Taking on board player feedback, David will aid the team in creating and maintaining a playable and balanced model for Torchlight: Infinite as it prepares to enter open beta.

After we showcased Gemma’s Story, it’s time to look at another hero, Divineshot Carino, who will bring elegance, composure, calmness, and an entirely rational approach to Torchlight: Infinite.

As a marksman, Carino has various ranged bonuses. He has an exclusive magazine for using projectile skills.

Once the Ammo Expert hero trait is selected, the expert marksman Carino will randomly reload Special Ammo, granting additional effects to the projectile. Carino's other hero trait, Lethal Flash, grants additional damage to the next attack after automatically reloading. As the main story progresses, Carino's story will be revealed further.
