Abattoir of Zir

The Abattoir of Zir is a Diablo 4 Season 2 content update that was added to the game in patch 1.2.3 which released on 5 December 2023. The content was announced at BlizzCon 2023.

What is Abattoir of Zir?

This content is described by Blizzard as a "pinnacle" dungeon experience that gets increasingly hard. Each time the Abattoir of Zir is run, players have a limited time to clear it and defeat the boss. There are a total of 25 tiers to the Abattoir of Zir.

Blizzard has stated that this is incredibly tough at higher tiers.

Players used to running Greater Rifts in Diablo 3 will be familiar with the format.

How will my build perform?

Players who have played the Abattoir of Zir, as well as Blizzard, have commented that you will either need a well optimised build to progress and that the endgame build you are currently running may not manage the higher tiers. Again, this is a very hard end-game experience.
