Yeah, same here, seen an other post about big fps drop in an other darktide forum.  
Specialy in HERETIC difficulty and aloso certainly lvl5 too.  
I really hope it will be fix with server maintnance for the release cause if not, beta experience should be better than release 1 …

Same here. I notice a lot of fps drops and I average roughly 20-30 less fps now than I did previously
