[[File:Bonus-act-v23.jpg|thumb|350px|Bonus Act awards Bonus Cache in [[Patch 2.3]].]]
The Bonus Act is one of the five Acts that is currently the most valuable to complete all five bounties. Beginning in [[Patch 2.3]], when players finish the fifth bounty in the Bonus Act, Tyrael awards a [[Bonus Cache]] on top of the normal Horadric Cache. The bonus cache contains only gold and materials, but it always matches the amount of [[Horadric Cache materials]] that drop from the full Cache, doubling a player's take of these scarce and valuable materials.
Prior to Patch 2.3, there were two bonus acts randomly selected each game, and players received extra Blood Shards for completing bounties and earning the Horadric Cache in those acts. This was a paltry award, and did nothing to encourage players to clear out an act, just because it had the bonus live.
