With the first Diablo 4 open beta finished, we learned that Unique items have replaced Mythic items. They are essentially the same thing and are the best gear you can get in Diablo 4. We currently know about six Unique items in the game.
What Are the Unique Items in Diablo 4?
Core to any Diablo game is the weapons and armor you get along the way. In Diablo 4, the best items in the game are called Unique items. From the open beta, we know about six Unique items in the game.

Unique items have the ability to drastically change your specific builds. For example, if you have the Flamescar Amulet as a Sorcerer, you can potentially make the best Sorcerer build in the game.
The six Unique items we know about so far in Diablo 4 are a Barbarian Axe, a Sorcerer Amulet, a Druid Pants armor, a Druid Chest armor, a Druid Mace, and a universal Amulet that can be used on whatever best solo class you want.
Here are all six Unique items in Diablo 4:
