Last I heard, the new update was coming towards the end of august or perhaps mid september. Now that we’re almost at that time, what are we looking forward to crafting first? Any ideas on what the metasmost people will run are gonna be now that we’re less beholden to rng? I want to do an all out bloodletting build with a real nice knife on a stealth zealot build. I have been playing quite a bit to accumulate to accumulate the resources to just go wild with any build I can come up with. Also if I can put on my tinfoil hat for a moment, it’d be really cool if fs dropped something along with the update. Perhaps a new weapon or 2, maybe even some new blessings! Wishful thinking I know but a reject can dream.

Been grabbing up Weapons that have T1 and T2 Blessings
3 things we get with crafting update:
-Mastery
-Expertise
-Unlockable free new special weapons cosmetics skins
I’d be impressed if there is any surprises such as new weapons or weapon marks
I have for each character some maxed out weapons but they need blessing or perk reworks on some
Oh yeah forgot to mention they are making some new blessings that can be found in tier 1 and tier 2 only to be able to have tier 3 and 4 versions as well, and vice versa

Oh man just reading that made me more hyped then what I already am, I can’t wait! Also yeah, i haven’t really cared for farming t1 and t2 blessings but now that I understand how the system is gonna work I have been extracted everything I can lol

Yes super important so to not get locked out of already unlocked t3 and t4 blessings, plus on update launch much like when Path of Redemption launched there will be a load of unlocking happening lol
Could you link the post which said end of August etc? Because I haven’t seen any month cited by a Fatshark employee.
You’re correct! No month has been cited yet. 
We’ve only said end of summer. We’re getting there!

Hey StrawHat, i saw you mentioned in an earlier comment that you were trying to get more bug fixes added to the hotfixes. Would it also be possible to get some of the smaller balancing changes added to these hotfixes as well? Waiting months for balancing changes really sucks.

Hello! Sorry, sometimes it’s hard to reply to all comments! Yes I am trying to get more bug fixes added.
For balancing, I can try. However from what I understand, it seems like it’s harder to add balancing changes in between the patches. It’s easier to make sure any balance changes align with the larger changes in the game that come with the patches if we keep them grouped together. HOWEVER, if it’s smaller balancing changes, tag me in. Perhaps I can try to convince them otherwise.

No problem! We appreciate your effort and communication either way. If this isnt something that is possible, it isn’t the end of the world lol

okay so, i doubt that fatshark will deliver on the one thing i actually want out of this update but that they do, i’ll be crafting an autogun with a bayonet or giving one to my bolt pistol.

I for one hope that with the itemisation update Fatshark will at least START addressing one of the core issues with the current system, which is balance and usability of the perks and blessings. Too many of those atm are just RNG fillers no one wants. I would like that to change.

The only other way I see this happening in Darktide at this time is if there is a variant of the weapon designated by a different mark. Reason I say this is due to the absence of the ability to add a scope, torch, bayonet, etc (without mods)
In lore though it is reflected as such with “marks” and “patterns” of weapons being variants by the slightest modifications or accessories attached.
Godwyn-De’az Pattern Boltgun and Bolt Pistol though if that is what you are talking about-- I say hel yes to that one! They most definitely need to put that one in there now since we get to have the Godwyn-Branx Bolt Pistol.
The sarissa bayonets on those Godwyn De’az Boltguns and Bolt Pistols are rad!
Perinetus Pattern “Solo” Mark II Boltgun is another pattern they could include, its an extended range and only semiautomatic only, yet that seems to be something that Vets would be loving.
My idealistic fantasy though of a variant of Locke Boltgun or Godwyn-Branx Bolt Pistol being able to have a Scope and optional drum magazine as they are at times granted this
Tbh when I change the various things I have that are almost perfect or god rolled I’ll
Probably craft even less. I have so much gear on my characters thats either perfect or close to perfect I dont even care anymore. Sure I still find really good gear in the shop and get lucky rolling it up to legendary but ive played this game so much I really dont need anything. I was gonna roll a chain axe for my vet but I just found a crazy roll in the shop yesterday and once I change the tier 3 blessings to 4 its a god roll so not even that. Maybe a proper power sword or revolver for my vet with everything tier IV that I want but I cant think of too much else. Ill definitely make a few minor tweaks to gear I have and maybe roll a weapon here or there but thats about it. Dont get me wrong This is great for all players but im happy for the newer players and people who arent even playing yet because they wont have to go through what we did to find gear. I spent months at one point in time just not even engaging with brunts because of how bs the system is. Most good gear I have comes from the shop anyway so it doesnt bother me either way but removing locks is cool.

I’d love this! I really really hope that some sort of small attachment update can be made in the future!

Oh yeah for sure, the game is a much easier sell to my friends and new players in general once the update is here, hopefully it’ll bring some returning players as well. Can’t wait!
where was that stated?
so does this mean that we need to have t1, 2, 3 first in order to unlock the t4 of these new blessings?
and more importantly, what about already unlocked t4 blessings? do we need to have t1, 2, 3 of headtaker for example to use its t4 on an axe?
that’s very important because higher tier blessings would be unusable without their lower tier versions.
i have all t4 blessings (because obviously they’re the only ones worth using) and have been ripping lower tier blessings off blue / purple weapons.
i have asked repeatedly what blessing tiers are required for full mastery as unrestricted use of t4 blessings, but never got a clear answer.
There was a Q&A posted not long ago by StrawHat on the forums
I think we will need to have T1 and T2 Blessings to get T3 and T4 blessings. We are going to see more blessings that will have T1 through T4. There was blessings that were exclusively T2 for Shotguns that were awesome like Flechette and Manstopper. I’m excited to see if we get to have T4 Flechette and Manstopper, etc.
