The first half of Monsters’ Attack! Set Eight is coming to an end while big changes are still taking place.  Game designer Stephen “Mortdog” Mortimer disclosed base item and Hero Augment distribution changes last week that are slated to take place in TFT Patch 13.5. And now the Underground trait is getting a payout rework, according to Mortdog, by reducing the gold payout for Heists one to four and buffing the payout for Heists five to seven. 

Here are the new estimated gold payouts for each of the seven Heists through the TFT Set Eight Underground trait, starting on March 8 through Patch 13.5.

  • Heist one: Gold payout of around eight
  • Heist two: Gold payout reduced from 25 to around 18
  • Heist three: Gold payout reduced from 48 to around 38
  • Heist four: Gold payout reduced from 78 to around 76
  • Heist five: Gold payout increased from 100 to around 118
  • Heist six: Gold payout increased from 135 to around 158
  • Heist seven: Gold payout increased from 175 to around 220

Patch 13.5 will also drop the upcoming Set 8.5 onto PBE servers, which will include the base item and Hero Augment distribution changes. It is unknown at the time of writing whether the Underground trait will carry over into TFT Set 8.5 following the Mid-Set update.
