Still no hellgun, still no melta, release cycle for live service game too low, quality of content borderline still lackluster (e.g. clipping issues of cosmetics f.e.) game is still badly optimised aswell.

Secrets of the Machine God is a free update coming to Warhammer 40,000: Darktide on the 25th June. It will include a new mission where players get to explore a derelict Mechanicus research station in Atelium Foundryplex Omega V. There will be new weapons, introducing the iconic bolt pistol, Ogryn pickaxes, shockmauls, and a new shotgun. In addition, there will be an in-game event pilot – Hestia’s Decollation Crusade – where players will be tasked with destroying the heads of swarms of heretics and gain in-game currencies.

It's free at least, I think there would've been murder otherwise.

I wonder if that's just a taste of what's coming? There was a note about it being dependent upon testing.

Given Summer is right around the corner, I am not holding my breath for anything more beyond this for the next three to six months.

Fair, I was just meaning more that we might see weapons as a staggered release.

Update dropped today. Event on Thursday for simply using the weapons.

I'm not horribly impressed. They have wasted an opportunity to add more class-specific gear in favor of more crap for all 3 humans and a token add for the Ogryn.

The teaser trailer with the two veterans talking didn't help either, everybody was expecting radium weapons because of the burned hands and headaches and the company rep was quick in the comments to shoot these comments down and state that nope, we're just getting more.. plasma guns. 😒

What a fething ongoing gakshow this is.

Honestly, I LIKED that the veterans weren't like "yaaaawn, plasma". It's supposed to be rare!

... how often do i need to verify the bloody data obese fish?

Psyker outfit was kind of disappointing, though the loudspeaker for a mouth option was pretty disturbing and very 40K.

I got into Darktide fairly recently and have to say, the core game is really good. Just a shame the servers are so bad.

I probably had my best ever game last night, playing Auric Heresy as a gunslinger Ogryn, I killed two demonhosts and a chaos spawn all *in the same game*, only for my game to crash five minutes later. So frustrating!

Oh, and the crafting system needs some serious work. The RNG makes it nigh on impossible to get the build you want without investing hundreds of hours just so you can collect all of the blessings for each character and roll a few good scoring weapons (350+). This means unless you're a hardcore player putting in the hours, the replayability is not so good, as I have a few level 30 characters with weapons sets that I can't afford to upgrade.

Colour me surprised, they're actually doing more updates now.. https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/itemization-rework-q-a-part-1-dev-blog/97316

Yay?

Uh oh, granpas grumpy with us.

Anyways, nothing a boltgun can't handle

Heh..




An update SO hyped that it has a notification attached to it! Airs tomorrow.
