No one actually knows how many kills are required for threshold 5, I believe, but most speculate it’s 1,000,000 kills. This might be wrong, but it makes sense that it doubles off of the 500,000 requirement for threshold 4.
I’m currently at threshold 3 which requires those 500,000 kills and only gotten about 400,000 of those kills. I have 564 hours in Darktide as of today.
I’d say at least 9 out of the 10 missions I play these days are T5 only with the occasional T4. Almost all of them are usually hi-intensity or one of the new conditions.
I guess I need a frame of reference to figure out if they “cheated” for a cosmetic trophy or not and if anyone else is willing to share their head count for killing heretics.
somethings can get it quicklyy like during endless hordes, that one way to gain it or running throneside strike. i got 2 friends who got it during the beta period. about 150 hours into the game then, using zealot and Psyker for their anti horde capabilities.
Yeah I did some numbers last night out of curiosity, based on the average amount of kills I get per mission, and if I was playing twice as much as I am now I’d already have it, too.
I guess at the time that I saw that person I was flabbergasted because I thought I was already playing the game way too much, and I started playing in November during pre-order beta.
Don’t forget, though: The old “Endless Hordes” modifier before it became Hi-Intensity used to be way more aggressive. It would spawn enemies non-stop, especially on Heresy and Damnation.
So if the guy you saw played before release in Open Beta, chances are he already scored 1/10th of the necessary goal then.
