The Day of Atonement in-game event is now alive! Starting today until December 22, test your might in favor of your patron to prove your fervor and repent for your sins!
The stolen rations were tainted and now the hab blocks teem with infected. Atone for your deeds at the altars of Saint Messelina Gloriana.
"Disturbing news has reached us from the poorer hab zones in Tertium. The recovered rations that were recently distributed to the unfortunate souls who reside in these districts appear to have been tainted. A great sickness has spread through these areas.
My masters in the Ecclesiarchy have called for a Day of Atonement. You must beg our dear Saint Messelina Gloriana for her forgiveness and protection for our beloved Tertium.
Pray at her Blessed Altars and scour the hive for any Holy Relics you can find. Only through devotion can we hope to save our city.
- Sister Hestia Prine"
To make progress in the event, you need to play missions with the Atonement condition, interact with the shrines presented in the missions and defeat the enemies which show up after activation. Along the way you can also gather holy relics for additional event progress.
The rewards will be Ordo dockets, Plasteel, Diamantine and a cosmetic insignia. As a special celebration reward, those who complete the last tier of this anniversary event will receive 500 Aquilas.
Pray at the Blessed Shrines and search for holy relics to unlock the following rewards:
Darktide is free to play from December 4–8 on Steam! Assemble your strike team with new, hopeful cannon fodder recruits. Spread the word, tell your friends!
That’s all for now! We hope you have a blast with the Day of Atonement event!
the free to play event coupled with the hive scum class going life is a terrible idea.
hive scum heavy teams spiral out of control once more than 1 person goes down, if you are running 3-4 hive scums which is atm happening consistently because everybody is leveling and doing their penances you will have a truly miserable experience if you are new to the game.
agreed. after the obligatory talent tree wipe with every patch (le sigh) i have set up my oggy, currently rebuilding the zealot + veteran.
going to shelve the hive scum unless playing with friends because the experience is so damn miserable everybody is getting cranky while playing scum heavy groups.
Yeah it’s just too damn easy to get one shotted as a ganger, especially with all the sound bugs.
You can be fighting away and a silent mauler or silent crusher does an overhead from behind without any sound and it’s insta-down.
The amount of people dying is crazy. I’ve never seen anything like it. I’m just trying to simply get to auric but everyone in my missions keeps dying and there’s only so much clutching that can be done with the origami warriors.
Did a damnation on the train station level and got all the way to the end boss fight despite having to revive the whole team like 4 times…they all die within seconds of the final fight so it’s just me as a ganger. Silent overhead and boom, one shotted.
I don’t know if it’s ever happened or it’s a thing but a free weekend on console specifically ps5 would be great to hook my friends that are on the fence about playing.
Not as cool as the dark rituals skulls event it is mostly a copy of, but still better than usual mods.
Anyone find any hidden mechanics to it like the totem buffs of dark rituals?
I haven’t figured out what makes the gong sound after you activate the atonement wave. Killing the spawned waves and captains doesn’t seem to be what does it.
