I've tried to find all the information on this, but I can't seem to find an explanation for how Dclone works now. Is it tracked by game type (ladder/non-ladder) and selling only spawns for the whole server on that game type, or what?

DCLONE now spawns per region and is not limited to a specific pool of IPs.

The regions include:

  • Americas
  • Europe
  • Asia


Within these regions, spawns are separated by Ladder/NonLadder as well as Softcore/Hardcore.

This gives you the following separate SOJ Counters:

  • Americas - NonLadder - Softcore
  • Americas - Ladder - Softcore
  • Americas - NonLadder - Hardcore
  • Americas - Ladder - Hardcore
  • EU - NonLadder - Softcore
  • EU - Ladder - Softcore
  • EU - NonLadder - Hardcore
  • EU - Ladder - Hardcore
  • Asia - NonLadder - Softcore
  • Asia - Ladder - Softcore
  • Asia - NonLadder - Hardcore
  • Asia - Ladder - Hardcore


We have verified that spawning is not client specific, ONLY REGION. We have spawned multiple times on PSN via PS5 on Americas region, and confirmed that dclone spawns for the following:

  • PS4
  • PS5
  • PC
  • Nintendo Switch
  • Xbox
  • Single player characters (when device is online)

Thanks for the info mate. Has anybody run tests on how many SOJs are required for each tier?

In testing, it was as low as 18 as high as 90. 18 was likely a fluke in PTR.

Real world (patch 2.4) we went as low as 50, as high as 77 over a dozen or more spawns. (public sales were happening as well)
There is no way to account for public sales, but it appears that 125 is still the magic "Guaranteed to spawn" #, as these averages are not really different than prior to 2.4.
