So I’ve been getting a few ideas for a defence mode that would be fun related and lore relevant. Game mode: Distraction / feint Overall idea: An imperial engineer and recovery team is ready to go onto hostile territory, we have agreed to assist them since they are giving us a cut of the recovered…

Honestly was thinking that they should have a mission type that doubles down on the extraction section of the map. Like literally nonstop hordes between check points where you close doors behind you as you escape which only hold them off for like 30 seconds and then you have to run for the next part…

Because you already survived the gauntlet that was the final event, and dying outside of the storm raptor would be a spit on the face.

I heard someone suggest Defence missions before, and he gave his idea that the Mourningstar could have some cool Defence maps. For example, a Traitor Boarding Party could attempt to breach the Mourningstar and you could have either a more tactical-style gameplay facing off against Traitor Strike Tea…

This, according to the 2020 teaser trailer, is the horror that Darktide was meant to invoke. Just add the Lights Out modifier and we’ve got a horror mode.

I would sink an unholy amount of time into any of these Defence mode ideas.

[image] Request for Fortunes Of War / Arena Style Map in DarkTide General Discussion I think it can work, but it need to inspire more from the Chaos Waste and not FoW. Like take CoD’s Zombie mode and VT2’s FoW, in 1, you have a mode where you finish with the weapon you st…

I think a cod zombies / chaos wastes mode can work. General idea could be tied to the “Hive city out in the wastes” type area where you get dopped off only to get ambushed and dumped at the lower level of a section. General idea is needing to hold out in the area until you can get enough scrap to o…
