Darktide 1.4.2 Patch Notes, Know the Latest Updates and Fixes

Darktide 1.4.2 Patch Notes

Combat

Shooters

Reverting the following Shooter Changes from the 1.4.0 Patch:

• Scab Shooters now have a tighter shot spread, making them more threatening at range. While they still have ranged damage falloff, they will be more consistent in how they hit players at range.
• Additionally, Scab/Dreg shooters will now stay in cover longer (and remain exposed longer) with a reduced cooldown between sprays, making cover-taking enemies more of a threat but also enhancing the viability of player weapons that apply suppression

General

• Increased the range of what would be considered Close Range: 8m to 12.5m.

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a first-person action game set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Created by Fatshark, it follows in the footsteps of the Warhammer: Vermintide series. The game was launched for Microsoft Windows on November 30, 2022, and later made available for Xbox Series X/S on October 4, 2023. In "Darktide," players face hordes of enemies in intense battles, reminiscent of its predecessor's cooperative gameplay.

Set in a grim future, the game immerses players in a dark and atmospheric world filled with chaos and danger. With its strategic combat and rich lore from the Warhammer 40,000 universe, "Darktide" offers a thrilling experience for fans of action-packed first-person games and Warhammer enthusiasts alike.

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Gameplay

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide uses a cooperative gameplay style similar to Fatshark's "Warhammer: Vermintide 2." Four players work together to battle waves of AI enemies. Players can customize their class, appearance, and gender, choosing from four classes: Veteran, Zealot, Ogryn, and Psyker. Each class serves different roles like shooting, supporting, tanking, or dealing damage.

All classes have a regenerating shield. Unlike Vermintide 2, Darktide features multiple missions in the same area with optional objectives for better loot. Difficulty settings affect enemy numbers and damage is taken. Players earn rewards through random drops, in-game currency for weapons, and contracts for specific gear. Crafting allows weapon upgrades and stat boosts.
