Warhammer: Darktide Dev Tracker

Rejects, This is Catfish, Darktide Community Manager, here with another comm-link update.

The comms team is back from its break and so are comm-links! Due to the summer hiatus, this edition will be shorter than usual. We will also have a slower pace of Comm-links for the foreseeable future, to make way for more varied types of comms, such as dev blogs.

Here is what you can expect for the coming weeks on Darktide:

• On August 3rd, we will publish a Dev Blog focusing on upcoming changes in Patch #12 (1.1.20), giving you an in-depth look at our plans for account based currencies, perk refinements, adjustments to crafting locks and options on the mission board.
  
• In the first half of August we will be releasing Patch #12 alongside its patchnotes.

See you next week for the Dev Blog!

New Feature: CrossPlay With this update Darktide introduces Cross Play between Steam and MS Store!

Patch #11: Cross-play, Blessing Balancing and New Condition
Our next patch (1.1.10), which we will deploy at the end of June - early July, will include a few blessing balancing changes as well as a new condition dubbed “Elite Resistance” which will spawn fewer but tougher enemies. Throneside missions (Enclavum Baross & Comms Plex 154/2f) will also be affected by the Power Supply Interruption condition.

In addition, we are preparing to roll out cross-play between the Microsoft Store and Steam, which should align with Patch #11’s release or shortly thereafter. We will be monitoring closely how cross-play fares in stability an... Read more

Rejects! Here are the notes for Hotfix 1.1.2 which just went live on Steam, and will be out shortly on the Microsoft Store.

• Fix for crash when throwing projectiles and hitting destructible scenery.

• Patch #10 included a change aimed at fixing sprint and firerate interactions, which had an unintended impact on charge attacks while sprint-sliding. Fixed so that sprinting into slide does not break charging on ‘Brainburst’ and all Psyker staffs.

• The rewards of the first community challenge, “Memento Mori” helmets, now has properly a...

Archivum Sycorax



We are sending you into Habzone HL-19-24, "Throneside," to break into Archivum Sycorax. We suspect the Heretics have been getting help from inside the hive, and we believe there's sensitive information in there that could prove that.
