then why is space marine 2 getting cosmetics on space marines (which are far more lore wise cannon and sensitive) like hot cakes? and they are getting some lore breakingly crazy stuff. i am shocked GW wont bother them n but bothers fatshark on skin for hive scum? which basically can wear anything as they are literal hobos.
I’m not saying it’s GW holding up the process (although it could be). I’m saying that if it’s GW, then there’s likely an NDA around that process and Fatshark can’t talk about it. Even if there’s no official NDA, it would be bad for their business relationship if Fatshark called out GW for slowing the process. You don’t want to alienate a business partner that you rely on for your flagship product.
There could be any number of reasons why we don’t have more DLC class skins.
In the absence of hard data this forum trends towards conspiracy
Bump! Can we please get informed on what’s going on with this?
It’s not really about a lack of hard data. It’s more so looking at trends with both games in general, games with ties to tencent, and James Workshop as a company as it currently is.
Also from what I remember of Beta and people datamining they had huge swathes of the store for the base classes already done before the game was more polished which was a point of contention.
I’m frankly surprised that wasn’t the case for the DLC classes but it is very likely something with GW/Tencent in that regard or some kind of time crunch.

I understand why arbiters and skitarii got no cosmetics, but what’s the reason for hive scum not having more cosmetics?
Of greater concern is the fact the full catalogue isn’t available all the time, the fortnightly rotating shop with items leaving it, with some having never featured since, creating artificial scarcity, is technically illegal under EU law.
Fatshark’s community managers are as useful as hair stylists in Breaking Bad/BCS.
At least Aqshy was good, and she had some leniety to tell us that she is not allowed to talk about some things. These guys are just straight non-existent. Maybe good community managers come with solo mode or on some slopshop rotation in the future, I dunno.
I think it’s worth noting that after Kitefin quit, Darktide does not have a dedicated CM anymore. We have a mix of tech support people and Quickpaw pulling double duty as CM for both games.
Strawhat was the last person to actually do their job and even they were very clearly constrained by the higher ups. My pet conspiracy theory is that when they got tired of dealing with said higher ups and quit, Kitefin couldn’t handle the same level of BS, so what we have now are the management (at least seven marketing and PR executives who don’t appear to actually do anything) deciding to remain totally silent because doing anything would require work and there’s nothing management hates more than that.
not having skull and dog cosmetics is the real crime. imagine if you could have this commissar skull following you, and his stogie is used as the lasgun blaster. he’s from the Macfarlane Darktide release for throne’s sake.
instead fat shark does nothing so I will keep my 500 dubloons from the last event (can’t even spend them anyway, everything is too expensive and I don’t need any more chicken bones to hang on my guns).
Bare minimum would be penance track rewards.
FS won’t even do that.
Bump! Still nothing. Can we please get a response?
@FatsharkLev @FatsharkJulia @FatsharkFin @FatsharkQuickpaw
It’s been two months of zero communication on a simple request to even be acknowledged that people are interested in this topic. Maybe it is time to unfortunately add it to the Book of Grudges @Ragnarok101
Bummer.
@Ruein sorry for the silence! We’re certainly aware of the topic - though we are unable to share any info currently.
It’s all right @FatsharkLev , good content takes time. We will be paying attention for teasers for the next update for not only Darktide but Vermintide 2, since we are still waiting to hear about that weapon pack that was talked about so long ago.
Thanks for sharing Hopefully at some point you can share, Darktide feels like its reaching its end and will be going into maintenance mode soon before the new game is announced (with the exception of monthly events, and the final class that will be released in a few months)
So if adding new cosmetics for the new classes is impossible due to legality, or any other reason that you do not need to mention, say it so people stop posting this thread, and make it part of your FAQ - That additional cosmetics for newly released classes is not possible and wont be released. Ever.
Cause you see some content creators throwing random blame at tencent, or GW, whereas it feels more like its something else here. Which again, you should not share. just highlight its impossibility so people stop asking.
That would be communicating with the player base. They’d rather say nothing so that tiny thread of hope is still there and keeps you buying MTX.
That said this is going in the Book.
I feel bad for Lev btw. Coming on as tech support and having to do a CM’s job bc Fatshark refuses to hire them and let them do their jobs.
not even close to the end, got WAY more enemies and guns they can add
Sad.
oh, you have secret communication or news source I am unaware of. or you are hoping and guessing, because to you it seems reasonable. such as cosmetics for released classes, which also seem reasonable but its not happening. or chaos waste style gameplay that someone made a mode of, but fatshark has no interest in having it in the game.
