We’re excited to announce the next free update coming to Darktide - Unlocked and Loaded - will be releasing on September 26, 2024.
Unlocked and Loaded will include the overhaul to itemization, a new mission with a new objective, and improvements to social features.
Itemization Overhaul:
Unlock Your Potential: With the itemization overhaul, players will master their weapons over time, unlock blessings, weapon marks, and perks, and tinker with their gear to increase its Power. This overhaul will help players carve a clear path to get the weapons and gameplay they want. (More dev blogs on this soon and the next Q&A blog will be released this week!)
New Mission:
Time’s running out! Players will race against time and repel heretics in this shorter high-octane mission in which players’ strike teams are the only thing standing between a barreling freight train and Tertium. (Did you see the end of the teaser trailer?) (We’re also working on a dev blog for this mission, too!)
New Social Feature:
Team-up against Chaos: As Darktide is made to be enjoyed with others, our new Group Finder features will make teaming up with like-minded players easier. Before embarking on a mission, players will be able to form groups and band together to wreak havoc among the ranks of the heretics. You can form groups based on language, difficulty, mission focus, and more.
Why are you bragging about removing the locks, when they are meaningless in the new system? You are removing the blessing library, therefore locks cannot exist. Bragging about removing locks is disingenuous all the while the entire system is replaced, with one that forces grind for retention, instead of locks for retention.
