The Artifact System Goes Live In DCUO Today

DC Universe Online released Update 76 today, introducing an all new Artifact system. The system is designed to allow players to improve on their stats by collecting rare objects and leveling them up. To get things rolling, players above level 20 will have access to a new instance titled "Artifacts: Oblivion Bar" in the Events tab. There, Constantine will offer instruction on how to get started.

The Artifacts themselves can be accessed via their tab in the Inventory menu. This is where players will be able to feed Reagent items into them to increase their ranks and hit milestone. As each Artifact hits a milestone, players will be able to unlock it using Catalyst items.

For detailed information on how to use Artifacts, check out their introductory post on the DCUO forums. Notes on the rest of the update can also be found on the forums here.
