As mentioned in steam forums darktide needs a loot rat but here as a demon that runs away possibly into demon host.
"Guess it could drop all sorts of random loot gold, crafting mats, ammo, stims, grenades, crates… perhaps even scriptures and grims regardless of map… scriptures add xp / achievements / weeklies… and rarely a dockets chest? that if carried to end of mission rewards team with small amounts.
Then of course some new penances maybe a title Daemon Hunter after so many successes."
Just imagine reckless abandon for the prize of achievments and glorious purging of a greedy daemon.
I can see some Tzeentchian trollin happening on Tertium.
Maybe when they’re around they could also swallow thrown grenades. And $%@^ with the players in other weird ways.
Maybe they could carry anything from healing items to a mini chaos spawns in their bags.
Can you imagine, you kill the loot goblin hoping for a healing stim and a weakened chaos spawn erupts from it instead?
Not sure what it could drop that would be worth it. All the resources are plentiful and border on worthless anyway with how cheaply a “perfect” weapon can be obtained.
Aquilas come to mind but I wouldn’t expect them to do that.
The unit’s analog was noticeably missing when I first made the jump over, but we just don’t have the same stuff for it to be worth a chase. Plasteel would’ve served before the re-work but now? No.
They could make it drop a token that increases the rarity of loot drops at the end or something along these lines. They could also drop ammo, medkits and whatever just a fun thing it doesn’t have to be worth some great amount just a fun thing to add. It’s not like the loot rats dropped premium currency I don’t know why everybody goes there it’s never going to happen lol
Yeah, stimms or kits are about as good as it gets.
But a token to improve the Emperor’s Gift wouldn’t be worth it. In VT2, the dice improved your odds of getting reds by the only way there was to get reds, potentially increasing the chest quality. Now, there are no reds and you can get any potentially “perfect” weapon from any of 4 different places and the Emperor’s Gift is perhaps the least reliable of those.
Don’t take this as me crapping on the loot rat idea; I’d love that. My gaming group used to love chasing after his little “MINE! MINE!” chant. It’s moreso that the economy of the game is hopelessly borked that it won’t accommodate the idea in a meaningful way.

That could really motivate people to go after loot daemons and amp up the chaos.
