For a horde shooter the gore system is very important, Valve already knew that and showed how it works with Left 4 Dead.
The gore system in Darktide is so far the best I have seen in a horde shooter. I didn’t expect so many technical effects like the layered system or the proper location wounds. It looks really nice.
But there is one problem. There is still no possibility to split skulls. When I make an overhand blow with an axe, the head should be split and not decapitated. It would also be nice if you could see dents on the armor when you hit enemies with a hammer or a shovel. Or how the helmet/head slowly gets smashed when I hit it with a shovel as an Ogryn.

Wow this is an old thread, 110% yes to all of this, I need armor to function like armor and not float in midair when it gets damaged/cut, this game needs a serious gore and armor damage revamp its not even funny, two hours darktide getting the same damage results over and over just isn’t fun lol
@FatsharkCatfish obligatory i need more gore reminder lol

You probably should’ve just remade this thread instead of necro-ing this one lol.
The funniest thing with the gore system, is after they added the Evsicerator 15. Doing a charged overhead attack, and having Ogryns and Mutants get cut horizontally instead of vertically is funny but disappointing.

I was going to make a thread like this and I forgor. The game is very lacking in the gore department and it’s 40k ffs.
I’ve made like probably 4 threads, dont know if I have the energy to do another
I dunno what the problem bringing back really old threads is. If it’s the same subject, who cares?
Personally I’d also like to see more variations on head injury that don’t automatically cut the head off. Not that I want this game to be “more realistic” or anything, just saying that the ease with which a head is separated from the neck makes it feel like everybody’s made of sausage. If a headshot caused a big gory obviously fatal injury instead of just popping the whole thing off every time that’d be a lot more gruesome and satisfyingly visceral.
