Excessive Special/Elite Spawn?

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide General Discussion

Has anyone else felt like they are seeing double of almost every special/elite spawn? Ever since this last update I’ve felt like every mission I play the group is getting spammed with specials to a point that a hall way is wall to wall with gunners.

I’ve had instances of spawns consisting of:

  • 2 Crushers
  • 1 Bulwark (one time 2)
  • 2 Ragers
  • 2 Maulers
  • 1 Hound
  • 1 Flamer
  • 1 Burster

I’ve even had that list spawn with a sniper right as a monstrosity is initiated. We had chosen to try and fight the Daemonhost and the spawn happened as soon as we shot it to start the fight. This was on Malice difficulty. Maybe I’m just needing to understand the game better and play better, but I don’t know how that would be survivable with a random public group.

I’ve definitely felt it. It’s a bit hard to differentiate from what’s the fault of the endless horde modifier because there was a bug where it was applying where it wasn’t supposed to, and so many missions have that modifier that I’m having trouble keeping them separate in my head.

But in difficulty 4 missions I regularly get like 3 specials every 30 seconds or so. It’s ridiculous. And given how tanky most of the specials are it feels like a damn slog to get through.
