Warhammer: Darktide Dev Tracker

Devoted Rejects Here are the patch notes for. Hotfix #36 (1.3.1). It is now live on Steam and will shortly be live on our other platforms.

• Added a list of default suggested penances to display for players who access Hestia’s corner before they have any progress on other penances.

Dev Note: This is to avoid situations in which we present far-away or more difficult penances because of a player’s started progress.

• Fixed some penances referring to the wider Chasm Terminus area as “Chasm Station.”.
  
• Fixed a crash that could occur if a player redeemed an item reward for individual penance if they accessed “Penances” via character selection".

Devoted Rejects, Here are the patch notes for our latest update, Path of Redemption. It is live now on Steam, and will shortly follow on our other platforms.
 
New Additions
Shrine Penitentax Welcome to Shrine Penitentax, Sister Hestia Prine’s alcove on the Mourningstar’s main deck, and where she will be recording the penances the rejects undertake in their fight to liberate Atoma. It is located straight across from Sire Melk’s Requisitorum, and has been newly renovated to accommodate the expanding number of records and scrolls needed.   

(We had simply too many penances to be able to fit them all in the patch notes, so be sure to check them out in game!)


Reworked Penance menu The screen where penances were collected has been replaced with a new overhauled and extended menu, composed of three main elements.

Devoted Rejects,
Last week we delved into the reinvention of the penance system[www.playdarktide.com]. Today we’ll take a closer look with the devs that worked on some of the features that are coming with Path of Redemption: the Pox Gas condition, the Dreg Tox Bomber and the Personality Scourge. Without further ado, let’s start with the new condition!
Pox Gas

One interesting challenge we have in level design is to ensure that the content already ... Read more

Devoted Rejects, Our first update for the year, Path of Redemption, will be released late April 2024.


This update will introduce a new version of the penance system, but it’ll also come with additional supporting content. Here is a list of what is coming to you in April:

• A new free way to collect rewards: penance points will now count towards a progression track composed of 40+ tiers, allowing players to unlock earnable rewards.
  
• A new home for penances in the Mourningstar: Hestia will be in charge of keeping a record of the rejects’ penances and will join the rest of the Mourningstar crew in voice-overs during missions.
  
• 200+ new penances: a slew of new penances will be added to the game for players to complete. These will be divided into new categories.

Devoted Rejects,
Here are the patch notes for Hotfix #35, which is live on Steam and will shortly be live on our other platforms.

• Fixed a crash that could occur when aiming the Psyker Blitzes “Brain Burst” or “Brain Rupture”.

Dev Note: This is partially reverting a fix from 1.2.33 that was intended to fix a crash that occurred when aiming a Stimm at a teammate at the same time as aiming the Zealot Abilities “Chastise the Wicked” or “Fury of the Faithful”. This crash is fixed, but has the known issue of not being able to target enemies by aiming “Chastise the Wicked”/“Fury of the Faithful” at one while aiming a Stimm at a teammate.

• Fixed a crash which could happen if every player left the Mourningstar during the mission voting phase.
• Fixed an issue where approaching wounded Poxwalk...

What’s coming up in Darktide?
Our first update will focus on a comprehensive revamp and expansion of the penance system, including adding many additional rewards and a completely new way to earn them. We will be sharing more information on this update by the end of the month along with a dev blog, so keep your eyes peeled on our Communication channels to learn more.

Following this, we are working on an overhaul of our current itemisation process. With the new system we want to remove a lot of the unpredictable grind that came from an RNG heavy system whilst giving players more agency and a steady manner to progress toward specific loadouts, blessings, and stats refinement.

Although these are significant portions of each update, this is not our full plan for 2024. We will be adding new elements to Darktide throughout the year as well includi... Read more

Devoted Rejects, Here are the patch notes for Patch #17, which just went live on Steam and it will shortly be available on our other platforms.

New Additions Power Sword Special Activation We have added a second weapon special activation action in the attack chain of the power swords. This new activation allows the player to continue an attack chain if using the weapon special in the middle of one. This mid chain activation was added to allow for a more varied attack pattern even with frequent use of the weapon special.

• Munitorum Mk III Power Sword
  • The new activation will chain into the second light or heavy attacks. These attacks are very similar to the first light and heavy, just mirrored.
• Munitorum Mk VI Power Sword
