Live Event: Stolen Rations

The lack of earnable Aquilas is quite disappointing.

Thanks for the additional details on what the “consequences” are, it’s interesting that the rations require different keybinds than just simply destroying the rations with melee or ranged damage and using the same interaction keybind to open doors for recovering the rations. :thinking:

EDIT : KEYBINDINGS CAN BE CHANGED IN SETTINGS FOR THIS LIMITED TIME EVENT. WHILST NOT VERY INTUITIVE AND A BIT WEIRD, I RETRACT MY FIST WAVING AND WILL ENJOY THE EVENT WITH REBOUND KEYS.

Honestly, I think this event sounds super interesting.

The idea that players have to choose between recovering or destroying the stolen rations adds a real moral and strategic layer to the gameplay. It’s not just about shooting heretics — it’s about making decisions that have consequences and seeing how those choices shape the world around you.

I especially like that the community’s overall decision changes the event’s circumstances day by day. That makes the whole thing feel alive and reactive — like the hive world itself is responding to what players decide.

It’s a creative way to make the game feel more dynamic and connected, and I honestly can’t wait to see how the story develops depending on what people choose.

Unfortunately the decision is “do I choose to interact with the ration and die or do I ignore it?" Because you have to choose the numerical keys 1 or 2 in order to pick them up. You cannot use the action key to pick them up. Crazy design desicion.

Consequences will be interesting.

Give them potentially (guaranteed) infect food to have more pox walkers or something… or destroy it and have more people hate the imperium and join the scabs and dregs…

is there anything unique about this condition to look out for?

does anyone think there’s time for this in such a crowded game? either you don’t care about most rations, or you lose games because of people going for these gimmicks. would be better if one can select what to do with them before a mission starts, and then just click at the rationsm because that’s what most people will do anyway.

The rations are dropped by enemies or sometimes laying about. They’re very common and you have to press the numerical 1 key to pick them up! You can’t press action to pick them up like every other pickup in the game.

So things to look out for are: the keys on the keyboard whilst enemies attack you.

more proof that the combat lead leaving bodes very well for the future of this game. dark souls corpse looting as an event? …

and btw, what about those players who have actions bound to the keys [1] and [2] ?

I think the premise, idea and execution of the event is fine and would actually be quite fun…if I didn’t have to look at my keyboard to press a totally random key EVERY DAMN RATION just to pick them up.

A staggeringly boggling keybind decision.

you can change the key bind for the rations in the settings

Really? That’s good news if so. I’d not even thought to check because a bespoke keybinding for a single event seems… quite eccentric.

Can it be the same key as your action key?

I’ve closed my game now so can’t check.

Just played one game, really fun event. Best event since the anniversary event with cursed totem poles and skulls.

Finally something decent in terms of events, and not just “spam one enemy ad-naseum”.

yes, you can change it to the same key as you would open a door (the action key)
