11 Things You Missed in Darktide 

Let him die

Will admit I’ve been that sometimes but most of the time in trying to keep the others alive

Yeah, sometimes it's boring playing slow, so I do that.

Just don't explore in Damnation. If theres no grims or scripts to find im pushing 🤷

​@@hourglaspeople want plasteel

It's darker, nurgles rot is not just a physical disease it is a disease of the soul and those unwilling effected actually lose control of their bodies but are conscious of their actions unable to do anything about it

I always thought it was the poxwalkers, cause they’re aware of what their doing and what they look like, they just don’t have control of their own bodies anymore

The "Groaner" enemies are basically random people halfway through an infection that turns them into Poxwalkers. They likely can't really control their own bodies, since after being infected, their body and soul belong to Nurgle.

the ones that cry "help me, HELP ME" its so cool

@@MonkeyBoy1234587 Yes, but it's regular infected. Poxwalkers have their minds already gone (tho in lore there is theory some may persist). Regular infected are aware of what's happening, but either it's against or despite their will.

To be fair thats not the most uncommon thing in the imperium. Its frowned upon sure but lots of people arent exactly happy with their lot in life given the kind of shit the imperium puts them thru

@@everythingsalright1121I imagine the local authorities don't really care about grumbling enough to kill on sight. You'd likely be tagged for investigation, but ultimately they have other priorities

There are tons of excellent 40K novels out there too :)

I genuinely implore you to go look up Leutin09 then. His channel is absolutely amazing for getting to know the lore. He is known throughout the community for being one of the very best and most detailed/immersive

With their latest update to vermintide, this is possible. The necromancer build adds friendly NPCs and the Devs said that it opens up many possibilities, as now they have the framework for a 'third faction' and NPC-NPC interaction

If only. Theyre just map props :(

the chatter is what i exactly loved from Vermintide2 but darktide sadly is actually disappointing in that depthness. its awesome, dont get me wrong, but it cant reach the level of chatter vermintide has, since the vermintide characters have background story and know each other kinda well

@@YvaneCiece oh, I was talking about the Scabs. This was all chatter from the enemies responding to us, the players. It was like a F.E.A.R. where the ai had a realistic or like, sensible response and audible chatter about it.

​@@khornatekrieger3023I've had a similar encounter where our ogryn went down, as we helped him back up one scab shouted almost in a panic "They mended the brute! Fall back!"

Yeah I was playing Ogryn when I heard a scab shout “They’re reloading!” and out comes a scab with a bayonet at the ready. Unfortunately my Ogryn’s 40 lbs rock lobbed at 190 mph into her sternum immediately ended her bayonet charge

Nurgle take away their pain and emotions so they are not feared anymore.

Also enemy's formation. Its always begin with 2 formations: 1 - poxwalkers as cannon folders, then low-tier cultists, the elite of low-tier cultists/pox hounds, then the 6th guard. 2 - big brute like Nurgle's beast/mutants/plagued Ogryns, then cultists and then 6th guard. The formation very logical, Poxwalkers as cannon folder to demoralized enemies and absorb all damages or identified the most dangerous target, big brutes to break the formation or create distractions. Then low-tier cultists want to proved themselves to gained Nurgle's blessing but unwillingly become cannon folder for the 6th

After you are serving the will of omnissiah and spending a large amount of time with her by upgrading weapons and relics. Think about all of the weapons you pick up from basic tier and bring it up to its maximum strength

one you hit level 30 it seems like they add some more respectful lines to all of the vendors, but they don't lose the old lines either. so one visit to melk he's saying we'll drink together on my return, the next he's inferring that i'm illiterate.

The devs have actually had a few updates with a big focus on making the npc dialogue less aggressive and rude. The cash shop lady was the first on the list IIRC, she used to accuse you of being a thief, and insult the shit out of you. Fantastic attitude for an in game real money currency shop. Now she practically worships the ground you walk on and has a way more welcoming attitude.

@@Dangerpurple just a few moments ago, sire melk greeted me by saying "one of the imperiums finest" and then when i left he said "there goes another statistic"... whiplash!

@@entropicflux8849 They really should put most of the more rude lines on a blacklist once you hit lvl 30. lol

Would be fitting for both male and female Savant Psyker, since they were both enforcers before being deemed heretics.

The ogryns need some love when it comes to both weapons as cloths. Feels like ogryns where an after tought. all the ogryns cloths looks bacicly the same whit the expetion of the ones thats costs around 800.000 coins (forgot the name of the currency) or the RMS shops cloths.

a moebian 21st set would also be fitting

The Enforcer set has been found in the game files, so we'll definitely get it down the line.

ik its months later but i just wanted to state that there is a moebian 21st set for ppl who played the game in its first year before the anniversary happened. @@ghastlybespoke9541

Amen, brother. I mean, For The Emperor, brother.

I missed my chance to snag it for myself, still bummed about it

Will they ever return? Or was it a 1 time thing

@@YourPalKindred probably a 1 time thing if not rotation based, since Fatshark is pulling off a FOMO type of bussiness practice with their micro transactions.

​@SordidusFellatio hmm that's not good. I really like the current Valhallen but not sure about coughing up real dosh.

Its a bit Horus Heresy-esque since the 6th were considered the best and the brightest of the Moebian regiments - now everyone else has to clean up their mess

Thanks mate! More on the way

If you look for Lore in Darktide, this small channel is also very good www.youtube.com/@Jo.Plays.Games.

They're either bodies or incubating infected.

it's last nights remnatnts of the corpsstarch the rejects diden't finish...

I think the nurgle symbol was inspired by the real world biohazard symbol

@@HistoritorJimaldus I think you are absolutely right

Great pickup! I was actually going to include that reject team as another detail but yep noticed on my last few runs that they have disappeared... shame because that was an awesome little detail

@@dystopianchimp On a similar note, those bridge fights are on more maps! There's one where you run past a big setup of AA guns and Demolisher tanks (i forgot the name of the mission so just using that as reference) at the very start of a mission If you look to the right off the bridge, not only is the lasfire present around a leman russ, but it also seems to be surrounded by poxwalkers. And occasionally during missions around the train station, you can hear a sonic boom when you are near the entrance. If you look up in time you can actually see 2 aircraft fly by. I never caught it properly to see it clearly as it seems to be a random chance - but I believe it to be a dogfight between a heretic Valkyrie and either one of ours or a Thunderbolt. We at least know the Mourningstar has fighters thanks to its vox messages - thunderbolts being among them

Also when you enter the map, you saw not only Nurgle symbol but also CHAOS UNDIVIDED. Hinted that despite the hive be infected by Nurgle, the one behind of this is a follower of Failbaddon and we may also encountered cultists of the 3 remaining chaos gods in future.

Yeah I bought those uniforms. Except for the ogryn. Grabbed a different uniform for him.

Wouldnt Atoma qualify seeing as they are constantly on the fringe wars and all that, i can't recall the exact details

​@@jimmybuba2683constant border wars and a civil war in the hive really aren't bad enough to justify corpse starch when the trade lanes are likely still open

@@ThatRatBastard Indeed. Also IG has normal rations, and we got the Moebian 21st on our side. I'm sure the Inquisition gives actual rations out to us at least at level 30, as we are an inquisition kill team then.

This is incorrect. Hive cities, at least all but the high upper classes, have almost nothing else to eat other than corpse starch and perhaps a sort of fungal mass. And that's because there literally is nothing else. These planets, despite having billions and billions of people on them, are dead worlds, polluted beyond saving. Nothing grows there. The surface is unlivable. The atmosphere is unbreathable. The soil is toxic beyond hope of supporting any sort of agriculture. So, the only food other than corpse starch/Soylens Viridians that exists on these hive worlds is food grown on another planet and shipped in. And as you can imagine, that is both limited and expensive. So your average boiler-room worker will never once taste it in their entire lives. Straight from the wiki page on corpse starch: "Soylens Viridians is a bland but otherwise filling and somewhat nutritious vat-grown foodstuff whose main ingredient is usually a form of green algae. It is also known as a type of corpse-starch as it is said to sometimes also be made from Human corpses, mixed with random dead animals, plants, and other sources of dead biomatter typically disposed of in hive cities to be recycled into food to lessen waste. Soylens Viridians is a common staple among underhives, military rations, and other places where high demand for food meets low standards for taste."

The whole corpse starch thing just seems grim derp. Needlessly dark just to be dark.

Glad to hear it mate ❤️ there are plenty of details that I missed as well!

I won't lie finding that other firefight was only possible because I was looking for your first one on the wrong mal 😂

Great point

Thanks mate! Just installed the Disable Hud mod, appreciate the recommendation

Thanks mate! ❤️

The GSC Wolfquad ATVs are also in some of the original maps. I think the ATVs and the Goliath arent necessarily proof of GSC presence on Atoma though, but more proof that, since they're not really a "military" force, the GSC just use whatever civilian equipment they can get their three hands on.

@@shartsmcginty8056Pretty much this, they’re generally founded in civilian circles initially and thus look to arm and militarise what ever equipment they can get their hands on. That being said, GSC and Tyranids in general worked for the Deathwatch fps game, so wouldn’t be hard to convert it to the “Vermintide” format.

I'm tired of fighting a horde and then I notice I am alone because the rest of the team just rushed through, then they act surprised when they get sorrounded by enemies

@@matapavosgamer I agree, or they moan that they’ve got to come back and revive you or get a dog off you or you got done by a trapper who joined the hoard! Like I say, no concept of teamwork 👍

Ammo stealer’s… do zealots and pyskers need that much ammo???

The amphitheatre... Once you start opening the roof, if you go back to where you came in, you can defend that area without anyone climbing up your backside. Last mission, couple of high 20 somethings decided to defend up next to the button. They got us all killed. Then called everybody noobs. Twats.

I blame the modern gamers attention span. If they aren't getting that constant dopamine drip they go crazy. Trying to get pubbies to hold a defensive line is like pulling teeth.

I am with you 100% - very underwhelming when they just watch me get torn to pieces in front of them

@@dystopianchimp maybe they dont think we're worth spending the ammunition on to save lol

@@everythingsalright1121 haha honestly that is probably true, four crazy stimm addicted convicts probably aren't worth the drama

There's an offline mod? Neat...

I wanted to include this one! Though in my last few runs in that map, they seem to be gone - it’s just a dark empty elevator now for me ☠️ not sure if it is a bug or if they have been patched out

Yeah he speaks slower. Is nice, that.

Hopefully that’s the next DLC

@@dystopianchimp lol

You can get fancy pants for your psycher with the same cloth pattern. Wondering if he didn't steal the threads off a dead pox groaner. Psychers.... These filthy freaks need to be stopped.

That would be cool

Admech get cooler stuff than us... skitarri are radioactive and kinda hate the inquisition

Or genestealers that fight nurgle…

I am extremely hopeful that a tech-priest / skitarii class will be introduced in the future, I think it would fit nicely and use those new Vermintide mechanics perfectly (using servitors as minions)

I doubt it due to how they made the dynamic dialogue system.

It's a missed detail if you got all your character slots up to level 30 before they made the change.
