It’s nearly impossible to finish t5 unless you have a psyker with dome /shard.
It’s so frustating that two weeks ago same group of people in a vocal have so much fun and now we just raging and playing an other game.
The shooters, not elite but simply shooter are so many that witouht psyker protect we die in a few second.
Please bring back the fun, i in the verge of uninstalling and playing another game. It’s so frustrating that i want to play this game but when t4/t5 wasn’t as difficult as auric t4/t5
???
Like i’m sorry you arent having fun my friend, I wish you to have fun, but youre just wrong. I can practically melee only my way through the missions as a zealot.
I remember the early days of the game where shooters, shotgunners etc were not only as prevalent as now but also hit noticeably harder. And dome obviously didn’t exist lol.
If auric is too difficult then play standard, simple!
You DON’T HAVE TO play the hardest difficulty available.
In time you’ll get better at the game and try harder levels again.
May be my english are too bad. But it’s non auric mission i talk about. I don’t want to change auric. But reverse back non auric t5 that were fun and not now.
Well you said it yourself in your first post didn’t you?
Shooters are a skill check and you fail some part of it. Essentially, you must either make them stop shooting or shoot better than them or protect yourself by dodging or positioning. If you can’t - they will kill you.
I’m not trying to bully you, I’m just saying there is counterplay to that situation. You just need to train more and adapt.
I main Ogryn. So I understand that having to use cover as a melee spec is a necessity. I would really recommend trying different weapons, and using cover much more often.
I believe Fatshark previously adressed this issue. They implemented multiple Threat Levels which are significantly easier than Damnation or Heresy.
No but all jokes aside, please don’t take this comment as a personal attack, I only want to give you some tipps on how get back to enjoying this game ^^
1. Have a look at what builds work well for others
You can do this by inspecting people in the morningstar, looking at videos from content creators on Youtube or checking out this website where people share their builds.
2. Try out different play styles
Something that might work is trying out playstyles that focus on rushing into the ranged enemies rather than fighting them with ranged weapons, forcing them into melee combat. Another thing you could try out is the Veteran Smoke Grenade. It’s awesome at disrupting the line of sight of ranged enemies, making it possible to close the gap on them or killing them with ease. Be careful of snipers tho as they can still target you through the smoke.
3. Get a good loadout
What I mean by that is using weapons with high Modifiers, Perks and Blessings. Now I know, I know; Saying this is way easier than doing it since the crafting system is pure RNG. But take into consideration that killing heretics becomes a lot easier if you’re blessed by Hadron and have a good weapon.
4. Try different difficulties
If you have no luck with the previous strategies, something trivial can be to simply try a lower Threat Level. I think it’s wrong to expect every player to play the game on it’s highest difficulty and enjoy the game. So don’t think less of yourself for playing the game the way YOU enjoy playing it.
5. If nothing work maybe it’s time to take a short break from Darktide
In the past year there have been several times where I simply got burned out by playing this game and doing the same thing over and over again. Taking a break is not a bad thing and can help to rekindle the passion one has for the game.
If you have read this far, have a look at this video demonstrating the above listed tipps.

I agree ranged enemies are being overspawned and they suck the fun out of the game immensly.
Me too 3 weeks ago T5 had almost guaranteed success with a good group, which made the as-hole item system slightly bearable since 700+ plasteel a map works.
But now the artifical difficulty of bugged gunners overspam made me not play the game (and my entire group) either.
Darktide is a mediocre FPS but very good FPmelee
The overspawn of gunner removes THE most fun part of the game
I thousand percent agree with Nurax. Sometimes trying a different build can make the game feel brand new, and make it fun again. The higher tier you go, the more your build, and weapons have a HUGE impact on making it or not. Going from a berserker knife build to a tanky shield build felt completely different, but I’m able to take fire for the rest of my team, and that’s fun to me. The extra gunners make other people appreciate my build more too lol. But you really have to create your own fun in games like this. If playing the higher tiers is more fun, do some research and see what people are running, and build up to it. Just my two cents. Love ya guys.

You don’t understant the problem. High difficulty other than t5 non auric exist so why having the same difficulty for each other ?
I can dodge, i already do auric maelstrom t5. But when we nearly instantly die without a dome psyker and two week ago that not happened, it cause frustration. If i want difficulty, i go auric and try hard. If i want to play chill with no op weapon ou class i go t4/t5. And it’s no more possible.
And last thing, i thank you guys for gameplay tips but that’s not the issue here. The issue is large guner spawn in the back with nearly no other way that a dome to survive (or luck if we are in a good spot) with a team of non pgm who not playing the game 15 hours a day. I want medium difficulty no just low/very hard.
I don’t want to stop playing because two week ago and more, since update 13 the game is a banger and i love it but i realy consider it.
I remember years ago when I put a post here about a vermintide 2 maps - Convocation of decay.
Which for me, and several other people spawned more specials in the last event - than entire map combined.
Most people never had this issue and even after I posted screenshots from runs showing over dozens+ specials spawning, they didnt believe me.
Darktide isnt using P2P so its not same (where a person for some reason can have GIGA spawns like other people dont)
But I know exactly what you mean with ranged spam in DT.
A map can go from fun and easy on mathematically impossible based on the amount of gunners spawning at one point.
Too bad I didnt make a screenshot, but in the new map - the location where you put data interrogator - I saw 10 gunners drop at one end and another 10 gunners at another
Our Ogryn was dead before I even could tell him on discord.
This isnt dificulty, this is idiocy and fatshark HAS proven trackrecord of f-cking up spawn rates
P.S. no you cant dodge slide when you are perma staggered
