New Money Power vs Old Money Base rating. For Nerds

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide General Discussion

For the interest of perhaps as many as a dozen people.

For reasons of obsession it appears I have wanted to solve the actual relationship between the new Power and Base Rating for the last two years.

  • The old rating system went to 550.
  • The new Power system goes to 500.
  • The old rating system counted perks and blessings from increasing the quality (colour).
  • The new power system doesn’t care about perks, blessings or quality. You can have a Power 500 grey.
  • The Base Rating in the old system was the total of the 5 modifier bars, from 85 for your starting greys to 380 (with the occasional rounding error)
  • The new power system is always in increments of 10.

I think the conversion between the old 85-380 base rating and the Power 500 system is:

Power = (Base Rating -85)/0.59 rounded to the nearest 10

Base Rating = (Power x0.59) + 85

(Not exact because Power always is in values of 10s and so there are slightly different bar totals in the same Power)

So a 380 Power weapon is 309 base rating in old money.

Whilst an old 360 base rating would be about 470 Power

SHOPS
From what I’ve seen, at level 30:

Brunt’s Armoury: 270 Power - 330 Power Greys (~base rating 246 - 279 in old money)

Hourly Shop (Armoury Requisition): 350 Power - 380 Power Greys, Greens and Blues (~base rating 293 - 314 in old money)

Melk’s Daily Shop: All Power 500 Orange weapons (base rating 380 in old money)

Both a bit less than the old 300-380 spread for Requisition/Brunt/Melk and Emperor’s Gift before the update but of course we didn’t have Empower back then.

This roughly matches what I had taken and added up:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

Power 500 = Base Rating 379-381 (rounding error)
Power 490 = Base Rating 377-379
Power 480 = Base Rating 372
Power 470 = Base Rating 365-366
Power 460 = Base Rating 358
Power 450 = Base Rating 351-355
Power 430 = Base Rating 340
Power 380 = Base Rating 309-314
Power 370 = Base Rating 301-307
Power 360 = Base Rating 296-300
Power 350 = Base Rating 293-295
Power 330 = Base Rating 279
Power 320 = Base Rating 275-276
Power 310 = Base Rating 270
Power 300 = Base Rating 262-265
Power 280 = Base Rating 249-250
Power 270 = Base Rating 246
Power 260 = Base Rating 240
Power 250 = Base Rating 235
Power 240 = Base Rating 228
Power 210 = Base Rating 212
Power 200 = Base Rating 202
Power 90 = Base Rating 133
Power 80 = Base Rating 131
Power 70 = Base Rating 125-127
Power 40 = Base Rating 107

I though it was just power = base rating + 120, rounded to nearest 10, because, I dunno, bigger number good, I guess.

nm… I missed the point of this OP.

380 is the maximum potential distribution of “attribute/stat points” for each weapon, so this seems to check out… 500, since perks and blessings no longer apply to the total, feels arbitrary other than to delineate the new max.

Or

Does rating matter for curios?

Only for a chance of having a max tier perk. Since you can freely swap them out, no – not in any meaningful way.
