Now do keep in mind, these aren’t just “free” and actually dropping all over the place. Having one of the most powerful items in the game being much easier to get for just two classes doesn’t sound right at all. It seems extremely unlikely this was intended in any way by Blizzard. It’s very unclear what is happening, and even if other ultra-rare Uniques could be gained this way. by u/Desertanimal in diablo4 Can This Be Intended? And so when the Helltide helm chests wanted to reward these Barbarians with a Unique, they seemingly had no choice but to spit out these incredibly rare ones! Here’s Rob to explain it and show one of the video drops: They only have the two utra-rares Harlequin’s Crest (aka Shako, named for the base helm it was on in Diablo 2) and Andariel’s Visage in their Unique helm loot pool. Secondly, Barbarians don’t have any “normal” Unique helms of their own. And they may have figured out why as well! First off, Blizzard enabled Unique item drops from Helltide chests in today’s patch, which went live around 3 hours ago. Rob and his discord soon got up to over 20+ reported Shako’s dropping (as well as one Andariel’s Visage) in the past hour or so. It was mostly images at first, but soon there was a video as well. The World First level 100 player, Rob, was getting many player reports of the helm dropping on his stream. It seems Shakos are raining from the heavens! The ultra-rare Unique helm with +4 to all skills, also known by its real name, Harlequin’s Crest, has seemingly been dropping like candy in the past hour or so! Considering we’ve only heard of one or two ever reported so far, there’s definitely something strange going on.

Helltide chest Unique drops have also been changed and you can read the full details on both in the hotfix notes here. Update: The Uber Unique drops have now been re-enabled across the game.
