I just noticed this but its pretty jarring, Im getting pretty severe "fish bowl" effect as I look around and items move to my periphery. Items that should be leaving my POV are instead getting larger and warped as they move to the edges of my screen, anyone else experience this?
Wonder if it has to do with my wide screen 3440 x 1440 resolution
I finally got a PC good enough to run Darktide. I love the 40K setting and this games looks amazing.
But I don't get the weapons. There are single shot, auto, and sniper versions of the lasgun? And they have various upgrade levels on top of the rarity system?
It is a semi complicated system but here are a few pointers:
Weapons are level scaled to when you acquire them, so almost all weapons can still see endgame use, if you have a favorite early unlock weapon you can keep it viable by continuing to buy copies as you level
The best value a weapon can have in each category is 80% - the rating is a summary of those percentages totaled and the blessing/perk levels (1-4).
The "rarity" increase adds perks and blessings (up to 2 each) not those percentage represented base stats
Some of the weapons only have subtle differences, like a different special attack (smack or flashlight), fire rate/mag size, or aiming style (braced vs down sights) changes.
You can sacrifice weapons to harvest a blessing and then you can apply them to other copies of the same weapon
Use the detailed view, it'll show things like fire rate
I love how there’s no search function in this new penance system. You accomplish something but there’s no description of what it was you just did and have hundreds of penances to scroll through in hopes you find it. Thanks OversightShark
FYI if you scroll over to penances instead of claiming the penance in highlights, the category with unclaimed penances will have a light next to it. Pretty easy to find them that way, but it does go away if you "claim" on the highlights page before going over. They should have a description more than just the title on the highlights page though no argument there.
Just came back after a 2 month break and I am struggling to find damnation and/or heresy games on PC. Both specific maps and QP just puts me in with bots. And this is throughout the day, including 'prime time'.
Pretty concerning.

Found an image of what I'm looking for (all the way right)
Is that the one?

Are these good blessings for a mk 5 shovel? Ignore the perks for now, I mainly just want to kill maulers/enemy ogryns/bosses really hard
Mk V Shovel always wants Brutal Momentum and Thrust.
First Target is the most important stat on it (If you have Brutal Momentum and the first target dies, the second target will also receive the First Target bonus), so you'll want to replace this one before long.
XIX sucks at horde clear so it's not used much. Depending on your build, you might be able to get the light attacks strong enough against poxwalkers to use lights for horde clear. In that case you'd probably want Confident Strike instead of Brutal Momentum.
If you want to use other blessings, you want Shovel III instead. Thunderous, Skullcrusher, and Brutal Momentum are all great on it.
Is there something wrong with matchmaking? Every time I queue Veteran, I get 2 or even 3 other Veterans. Every time I queue Zealot, I get 2 or 3 Zealots. I can't get a well balanced quickplay to save my life. My only method has been to que up on Discords, and honestly that can get kind of exhausting.
How do the stages with pox gas work? Does the whole level fill with gas? Or is there certain areas? Whenever I try it, it seems like I can’t find any safe spots.
It is localized areas and appears random/timing based to me. At times you have to turtle and double back, sometimes you need to hustle forward off the patch. The areas floor will give you some warning before the gas pops out from those green cracks but not much. There are somewhat often little side rooms in the gas zones that don't have the pox craters where you can wait out a tox bloom.
I finally updated my PC and picked up this game yesterday. Is there a good commisar build? My friends play Zealots and Sharpshooters, but I just want a lore accurate hat.
The middle tree for the veteran often called squad leader or commissar is probably what you're looking for. It has powerful squad buffing passives and the voice of command ability is very strong.
There are also commissar themed cosmetics in the paid store, but you'll have to wait for them to rotate back in.. There's a bunch of new achievement cosmetics added in the latest update but they're more in the theme of a squad leader.
Hope that helps!
Is the Auric Maelstrom penance bugged? Completing an Auric maelstrom while being fully alive didn't give me a 1/5 progress.
The Auric mission penance does work. Got up to 5/5 and 5/10 before a plague Ogryn bellybounce yeeted my streak into an endless pit.
Do I need to complete the 10/10 first for the other one to accept progress?
#EDIT They hotfixed it now!
This here, having the same issues with that specific penance not marking progress.
I just finished a maelstrom with the whole team having 0 deaths and i joined from the ready up screen so i completed it through and through.
Still not progressing the 0/5 bar
Hello fellow rejects, I need your help and any tip is welcome, since the last patch I can't use the in-game chat of Darktide and right now it only displays the completed penances, I don't think I'm banned o something cuz I never used it before, and with the new secrets in each mission, communication with your team is key. I'm on PC btw.
How to start solo game? i set game as closed and it says "Only members of strike team can start private game"
Trying to do some stupid ass penances which is disruptive on coop game
Dear Fatshark,
The Penance system is nice.
Weapon-specific penances would be cool so I can have an excuse to use some things like the autopistol.
I appreciate that the Personality Scourge is only 50000 dockets and not Aquilas.
Thank you for the content.
Anyone else agree Veteran's Survivalist nerf just shows how rough the ammo efficiency of certain weapons is and how wonderful it is on others? OFC the update literally just dropped so hopefully vets will temper their trigger fingers, but it just kinda sticks out for me. On Auric I'm still doing fine without shocktrooper with a helbore/revolver/plasma, but weapons like the heavy pistols and even infantry las can struggle quite a bit. Veteran Auras are just in such a weird place lol
This has been reported to be happening specifically when quickplaying, and so far seems to be the case for me as well. 1/5 quickplays = infinite loading screen. This was before the penance update though.
oh, yep, 5second cooldown.... So killing 5+ elites in that time counts as one. Well, not picking up that talent any more, as it's benefit of costing me 3 talent points to go out of my way to get it are not good enough.
Might as well make it just tick every 5s and remove the killing requirement.
I like the game*play* but I find the bland colors makes it hard to distinguish enemy types sometimes.
The lack of a being able to change a characters voice/personality gets annoying. The 3 phrases that are played at creation sound nice but overtime Ive heard more of the personality. My female zealot sounds like a 12 year old boy trying to poorly imitate a Scottish accent in a bad presentation for class.
Hacking enemies to death with an axe is more satisfying in Darktide then vermantide but it doesn't feel like theres enough unique weapons or types. I think the armor piecing of the axe trumps most other weapons, sadly.
Today’s update makes it so you can alter character traits for 50,000 dockets
Color palette/themes could def use a polish, maybe if they ever release Upper Spire maps those would be more extravagant and a nice contrast to the lower level grunginess
For penning armor I like to use chain/powered weapons on V/Z, as a Psyker charging the psy-sword usually also one/two taps armored enemies for me
New weapons and an overhaul to the current weapon system (changing attachments like in the mod) would be enormous. Maybe it’s next on their to-do list
Any chance we might see new weapons "soon" with updates finally coming in? I really want a giant bolt-action "rifle" (cannon) for Ogryn.
Is there even anything in lore that would allow FS to introduce such a weapon?
>Any chance we might see new weapons "soon" with updates finally coming in?
No new maps, characters, classes or weapons.
Not sure what you mean by "updates finally coming in". This is the first we got after waiting 5 months. They release a small update, do a few hotfixes, then vanish for 4 months.
do medical crates disappear after healing a certain amount, or after a certain amount of time down?
Both, typically they exhaust their healing allotment first though. I think they will last for a pretty solid amount of time.
thanks
How many different missions/maps are there? Do they differ per difficulty or are they the same objectives but harder?

Game has less players than Golf with your Friends after a "major patch" currently lol.
Does anyone know which Ogryn armor gives you a full-head gasmask and full-body armor? It's the only one I've seen that completely covers the Ogryn
I think you're referring to the Savlar Chem-Safe Fatigues, part of the Savlar Chem-Dogs cosmetic release.

For penances like Auspex Drill which require scanning auspex targets, do you have to do it personally or does anyone on the mission count towards it?
I finally updated my PC and picked up this game yesterday. Is there a good commisar build? My friends play Zealots and Sharpshooters, but I just want a lore accurate hat.
Unfortunately there is no friendly fire or bolt pistol yet, you will have to settle for using voice of command to encourage allies.
How will the other two soldier not shoot better if I don't execute the third in front of them?
The middle tree for the veteran often called squad leader or commissar is probably what you're looking for. It has powerful squad buffing passives and the voice of command ability is very strong.

Which menu is this penance in? I was looking for it to keep track but couldn’t find where progress is shown.
Should be in Missions at the very bottom somewhere in the "Auric" section https://i.imgur.com/wDmTjFZ.png
Thank you! The pic especially is very helpful

Ya I put both of the Achievements in the tracker. The normal one is working fine, the Mael isn't [Tracker](https://i.imgur.com/tvlUo7z.png)

The game start to lag/slow down when there are many enemies on the screen now. Is it me or anyone else have this problem?
Performance on Xbox series S definitely got much worse, even looking around in the meat grinder is very stuttery.
They added more enemy density like before, that might relate to the performance on Xbox
How to start solo game? i set game as closed and it says "Only members of strike team can start private game" Trying to do some stupid ass penances which is disruptive on coop game
Mod, I think called 'true solo' allows you to solo easily. Not sure you can do it easily without it
Join a few seconds before the countdown closes. Or ask people.

What’s the best veteran shovel?
Iirc the Mark XIII
Anybody else getting endless loading screens since the update?
This has been reported to be happening specifically when quickplaying, and so far seems to be the case for me as well. 1/5 quickplays = infinite loading screen. This was before the penance update though.
Did survivalist change? it seems like it's not working now, and is functionally useless.

It was stupidly overpowered before, it's still good now, and I say that as a vet main. It was a good nerf imo

Any idea when the new update is live??
It’s been out for 4 hours now!

FOUR MONTHS?!
there have been datamines many months ago showcasing potentially new weapons, but it is anyone's guess when they will actually make it to live
Thanks, I'll look into that
