Curio Perk Revamp

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Gameplay Feedback

I think some of the curio effects should be combined/updated to make them more streamlined.

For example Bomber/Flamer resistance should be combined into Fire/Poison Resistance which reduces damage from all sources of fire and poison damage (poison meaning BoN puke/poison bombs from the twins as well as any other poison attacks that get added).

Mutant/Hound resistance should be combined into Disabler resistance which reduces damage taken while grabbed, pounced or netted, that includes resisting all other enemies attacking you while disabled.

Sniper/Pox Burster resistances should be combined into “Burst Resistance”

Gunner resistance should include ShotGUNNERS.

A new resistances type called “Shooter Resistance” should be added, anything that’s not an elite that shoots you will do less damage.

I think these changes would help make the curio perks more uniform and useful, I doubt many people purposely pick mutant/hound resistance at the moment, but combining them into a disabler resistance would probably make them picked more.

I like the idea of collapsing less popular and thematically consistent things together.

Agreed. Resistances need to be brought together, add Corruption to the list since there’s no point having the ‘grimoire’ one beyond padding stat rolls.

unnecessary. and come on, you’re reaching a bit here, combining snipers and bursters of all things? doesn’t even make sense.

5

I combined them since they both do burst damage. i.e they delete large portions of your health instantly when they damage you.

Yeah they could be combined. Makes no sense to have one for general corruption and one for grim corruption.
