About the Game
In the depths of the hive, the seeds of corruption threaten to turn into an overwhelming tide of darkness. A mysterious and sinister new force is seeking to take control of the entire city. It is up to you and your allies in the Inquisition to root out the enemy before the city succumbs to Chaos.
As Tertium falls, Rejects Will Rise.
Built on the legacy of Vermintide 2’s best-in-class melee combat, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide introduces intense WH40K gunplay to the mix. Master the balance between ranged and melee combat as you fight through a slew of enemies. Feel the impact of each swipe, swing, and slice of a chainsword, or fry some flesh with a lasgun.
Darktide is a co-op game. Wandering too far, risks punishment by foes looking to immobilize or capture stray Rejects, such as the slavering Chaos Hound or the Moebian Trapper. Once you fall prey to such foes, only your teammates can save you! More than that, your innate toughness – your determination to press on through the pain – only recharges when you are in the proximity of your strike team.
Create your own, unique character and customize their physical appearance, voice, and origin. Choose your class to determine which unique traits and skill sets they will make use of in battle. Will you be a seasoned veteran of the Imperial army, a snarky outsider, or a fiery zealot? The choice is yours.
Step into the violent, dystopian world of Warhammer 40,000. From boiling hot industrial factories to the decaying water maintenance zone afflicted by constant acid rainfall - Tertium Hive is a hard and unforgiving place even at the best of times. Your role is to serve the zealous Inquisition by embarking on missions to exterminate the threats lurking in the depths of the hive city, or die trying.
Adapt to the erratic whims of Chaos with conditions- mutators that add a spontaneous challenge to your mission. Your team must learn to adjust, adopt new tactics and change up their loadouts to face these ruthless challenges.

Warband!
Today’s patch comes with several tweaks and fixes. After feedback from you all we have done some balance changes to the Vanguard enemies, decreasing their health, modified their block radius and added a new way for you to stagger them.
We also took a look at the Blitzes available to the Skitarii class and made some adjustments. There are plenty of other things going into Patch 1.12.4, and it is now being rolled out on all platforms, notes are below!
Dev Note for our Xbox Series S players: To alleviate memory, and to prevent crashes, there is now a black pre-loading screen that appears before the Valkyrie loading screen when you go into a mission. This shouldn’t change the loading time length. We have other memory saving solutions that we will implement in a future patch, and we aim to return to the normal loading screen once those are implemented.

Patch 1.12.4 patch notes
Features & Tweaks
Balance Changes
Scab & Dreg Vanguard updates:
Health Adjustment:
Note: Values denote difficulty (Uprising / Malice / Heresy / Damnation & Auric)
Scab Vanguard
from 850 / 1060 / 1275 / 1700 / 2125
to 450 / 550 / 750 / 1250 / 1675
Dreg Vanguard
from 650 / 812 / 975 / 1300 / 1625
to 350 / 450 / 650 / 1000 / 1450
Blocking radius decrease
The Blocking radius has been decreased from 120 degrees to 100 degrees
Note: This is the Half-moon we check in front of the enemy to consider if they are guarding against attacks
Events Adjustment:
We’ve lowered the amount of Vanguard enemies allowed to spawn concurrently in mission mid and end Events
New stagger available
It’s now possible to heavily stagger a Vanguard by Pushing them twice in a rapid fashion; this will make them stumble backwards and open to be attacked.
Weapon and Blessing Updates:
Mechanicus Power Sword
Fixed an issue where the Finesse and First Target stats would not correctly apply their scaling to Special activated attacks
Increased the Melee Strength bonus scaling on Special charges from +4% to +5% (max at 6 charges from +24% to +30%)
Added a new Light 5 diagonal Vanguard attack, chained from Light 4 and chaining back into Light 4 / Heavy 3
Changed the scaling of the Mobility stat to provide an additional effective Dodge when exactly at 80% stat.
Slight range and hitbox increase for all attacks
Slight movespeed curve increase for Heavy windups and attacks
Paired Transonic Blades
Fixed an issue where Light attacks could be repeated at way faster than intended rate when quickly swapping between wielded weapons/items.
Fixed an issue where the Cleave Efficiency stat would fail to scale the damage on secondary targets for most attack profiles.
Dev Note: 2nd target ADMs for profiles that use both weapons (Slayer Heavy 2, Dueller Heavy 1) have been tweaked to avoid scaling their damage higher than the 1st target due to the above change.
Changed the Crit Chance scaling for the Critical Bonus stat from 0-8% to 0-10%
Added a new alternative crosshair for melee weapons with a Special mode switch
The new circle crosshair will be displayed when the Special is enabled, instead of the standard dot crosshair
The alternative crosshair behaviour can be turned off in the Interface Options, through the ""Weapon Special Crosshair"" toggle
Affecting the following weapons:
Paired Transonic Blades
Sapper Shovel
Latrine Shovel
Crowbar
Bone Saw
Mechanicus Power Sword and Arc Maul
Tweaked the HUD element which represent the Special charges to have better visibility against the background in different lighting situations
Increased the contrast and opacity of the HUD, both when the Special is activated or deactivated
Removed the fade out of the HUD when at full Special charges
‘Decapitator’ weapon blessing
Changed the “One-Shot” enemy current health requirement from 100% to 80%
Changed stacks to decay one by one instead of all at once
Updated the duration and scaling per stack over Blessing tiers for all weapon families:
Combat Axe
Duration from 8s to 5s
Scaling from 18/20/22/24% to 14/16/18/20%
Power Falchion
Duration from 8s to 5s
Scaling from 18/20/22/24% to 10/12/14/16%
Bone Saw
Duration from 8s to 5s
Scaling from 18/20/22/24% to 14/16/18/20%
Mechanicus Power Sword
Duration from 4s to 5s
Scaling from 18/20/22/24% to 10/12/14/16%
Dev Note: The requirements for the ‘Decapitator’ Blessing are now more lenient, allowing for enemies which are lightly damaged to still trigger the effects. Note however that the killing hit will still need to deal damage equal or higher than the maximum health of the enemy to be considered a One-Shot.
Additionally, we have updated the stacks to decay one by one over time instead of all at once, to further increase the consistency of the Blessing.
Since the uptime of the Blessing effects will be higher after the changes, we have rebalanced accordingly the values of the Finesse bonus and aligned the duration of each stack to 5s for all the weapon families.
‘Machine Spirit Resurgent’ weapon blessing
Lowered cooldown scaling over tiers from 6/5/4/3s to 5.5/4.5/3.5/2.5s
Skitarii Blitzes Update:
Dev Note: We’ve taken a pass on the Blitz Abilities of the Skitarius with the goal of aligning their power levels in comparison to each other and improving their usability.
Arc Grenades
Updated Arc Damage application to increase consistency
Dev Note: Damage is now delivered through a short duration (0.5s) Debuff instead of direct damage. This change also affects Voltaic Resistance (Integrated Refraction Emitter Sub Node) and Voltaic Arcs (Voltaic Emitter Sub Node). The average damage per enemy should increase compared to before.Arc Jump Range 8 -> 12
Explosion Radius of initial Arcs 8 -> 10
Now generates 4% Capacitance for each Elite or Specialist Killed by the Arc Grenade.
Servo-Skulls
Purgator and Medicae Servo-Skulls
Base Charges 4 -> 3
Selecting both the Purgator and Medicae Servo-Skulls increases the Charges to 5.
Purgator Servo-Skull
Burn stacks per hit 1 -> 2
Max Burn stacks 16 -> 12
Noospheric Command
Can now only be used if you have the required Capacitance available.
Integrated Refraction Emitter
Charges replenish every 75s.
Max 3 Charges
No longer replenished by picking up Grenade Boxes
Voltaic Resistance (Sub Node)
The number of Arcs released will now be at least 1
Reduced the number of hits required per Arc 10 -> 6
Quality of Life Changes
Both Vanguard type enemies have been added to the Meat Grinder.
You can now order your operatives from the list in the Operative Selection screen. Hovering with a mouse will show arrows to reposition that operative up or down. With a controller, new button actions will show on the bottom part of the screen as a prompt to do the same.
Expeditions - Tech-remnants dropped with a value above 100 will now show on the Auspex map
Expeditions - Made it so dodging out of the Auspex map does not count as clicking on the map
Updated the ‘Alternative 7’ controller layout buttons scheme
Dev note: The Alternative 7 layout will now be very similar to the Default one, with the Special input being moved to the Left shoulder button and conversely the Tag input being moved to the Right Stick pressed input.

Hotfix 1.12.2 patch notes
Features & Tweaks
Reduced the unlock requirement for the Pro-Trader (5) Penance from 100,000 salvage to 20,000 salvage.
Vanguard Enemies:
Sweep priority between head and shield hitzones have been equalized; this change will make it so less of the hits that visually should have hit the head will be consumed by the shield instead.
Tweaked the Weakspot damage multipliers as follows:
Dreg Vanguard 0.5 → 0.75
Scab Vanguard 0.5 → 0.65
Change to Damage over Time type damage behaviour. The initial hit will inflict stagger as expected, but the DoT damage itself will not contribute to the impact required to ”open” the shield.
Reduced the unlock requirements of the following Skitarii Penances:
Curse of Malfunction: 500 → 75
Corpuscarian Disciple: 5000 → 1500
Voltaic Warrior: 5000 → 2500

Patch 1.11.4 is now being rolled out on all platforms, and while you wait for it to download you can read the notes below!
This update has some minor tweaks and Hive Scum balance changes, and several bug and crash fixes.
On top of that…
Expeditions Map Update
As the Deadside and its climate is very volatile and unstable, the long range sensors of the Mourningstar struggle with updated information about enemy movement and the general lay of the land. This means that the Expedition Map will update on a regular basis, presenting new challenges and setups to explore.
With this update we begin our first Expedition Map rotation for the Expeditions Game Mode! Starting later today, the existing nodes have been wiped and replaced with a new set of unique nodes, complete with a new modifier and environment condition to keep things fresh!
The new grid points will have to be unlocked from the new starting node, as you begin another cycle of gathering Tech-Remnants and unlocking grid points. As Tech-Remnants are linked to each Expedition Map rotation, you’ll all start again on equal footing!
One of the nodes is special! To unlock it, the community as a whole must gather 200,000,000 Tech-Remnants total! Each member of the Strike Team is counted separately for this requirement, meaning that a team of four that extracts successfully will add their Tech-Remnants gathered to the pool four times at once.
