Orthus Offensive: Final boss fight can instantly down you

Issue Type (Required):

Missions

Issue Description (Required):

Honestly even rewatching the footage I’m not sure what happened. All I know is that at the start of the engagement, I approached one of the bosses and when he did his force shield blast to knock me back, it just instantly downed me instead, through full toughness even. I think the other twin was dashing past behind me near the same time, so maybe I got pushed into her and for some reason that killed me?

Honestly, I’m sorry I can’t help more on this bug. I thought maybe I misplayed when it happened live but watching back the footage, it’s clearly bugged, because there’s no reason that attack should have done that, especially when you can see it do damage to my toughness like it’s supposed to.

Clip I made showing the bug was too big to upload directly here, so here’s a link to it: Watch Warhammer 40-000- Darktide - 2025-06-24 2-15-07 AM | Streamable
