Keywardens are now Global drops

An undocumented change in Patch 2.2 has made Key farming much easier in multiplayer games, since Keywardens are now Global drops.

Each Keywarden will drop a key for everyone in the game, or no one — it’s all or nothing, so everyone gets a key, or no one does, from each Keywarden, and the best odds are still just 50% on T6.

The key does *not* just appear in your inventory like a Horadric Cache. Each character must go to the spot of the Keywarden’s death to pick it up, but since everyone or no one gets each key, everyone stays in synch for group Infernal Machine efforts. This also allows players to split-farm Keywardens, spreading out to different acts and searching simultaneously, rushing through the Fields of Misery, Dahlgur Oasis, Stonefort, or Gardens of Hope 2nd Tier..
