Skitarii Alpha Primus is coming to Warhammer 40,000: Darktide!

@EggFever

No new 2 handed melee? There are only 6 in the whole game, meanwhile for 1h swords:

It’s really sad there’s no 2h Omnissiah’s Axe on release of the class, it’s arguably the most iconic techpriest weapon, even more so than any of the ranged ones.

@Vertraxxx

So when are the new Ogryn boss and dogs that got added last time actually going to start showing up in regular missions?

Can confirm that these bad boys will show up outside of Expeditions with the Skitarii update!

[brosgw]

Will THIS class get free/premium cosmetics? Or penance cosmetics like for havoc?

[Latifa]

@FatsharkQuickpaw Could we at least get a Havoc rotation update for the last couple of weeks? Let’s just say, a lot of people are really tired of the same maps and modifiers.

[Vertraxxx]

Thanks.
Hopefully they’ll be balanced properly so they don’t just get instantly deleted despite being bosses.

W trailer boys

[matejmatheus]

you asked a question and got a clear answer you just like to whine for no reason, you don’t like game modes? don’t play them and quit expecting devs will always just focus on you and answering your every whine or stop doing what they do becuse you think its going the wrong direction, fatshark pumps out new classes + expeditions + maps/lore faster than most companies they’re too busy to focus on your incessent questions that aren’t even questions but snobby criticism disguised as a question.

i mean just look at the skitarii release literally everyone in this thread and everywhere else is excited you’re only one who thought this is the moment to pick a fight over something nobody even cares about, when everyone around you is happy and you’re only one whining then its time to realize you’re in the wrong here.

Fatshark has a problem called ‘lying’ that they do whenever they say anything with a lead time longer than 3 days.

Mostly because nobody seems to actually be running the show there comms-wise. So they’ll promise something, then quietly cut it from the final product without telling anyone, then get surprised when the entire community calls them out for lying.

This is a management level problem that no community manager has been able to overcome, and so they’ve refused to talk to people after being called out for lying a lot. It’s been especially noticeable this year as their priorities have increasingly been shown to be out of sync with the community and their pace has been atrocious.

What are you actually talking about?
Like this a class announcement, what are you complaining at this exact moment?

@Rvl

most iconic techpriest weapon

This is why Skitarii don’t.

[Rvl]

Makes sense, although I wish it didn’t and it was added into the game in some form.

[Gideon404]

Yeah, I was expecting them to reskin the VT2 coghammer and port it over (back when we were confident that it would be admech something but not specifically skitarii).

[MarxistDictator]

Can you update their names? Packmaster Aggar is great, but there was a funny reference to be made if he had a title like the other Packmasters. Please update Aggar’s name to 'Packmaster Aggar ‘The Horrible’.

@Fuplaayz

What are you actually talking about?
Like this a class announcement, what are you complaining at this exact moment?

The past four years of Darktide? Where when they promise stuff with a gap between the promise made and the actual release there’s usually at least some f*ckup, delay, outright lie about the contents, et cetera, virtually every single time?

And how getting called out for such behavior has led to them just remaining totally silent as long as possible so we only get comms about something 2-3 days before it drops, because for some reason the concept of ‘inform players when we change our plans so they don’t feel lied to’ never penetrated management’s thick skulls?

Y’know, answering the question Vertraxxx had about why Fatshark is so silent.

[GuanoGobbler]

What? What mode? My only point was that a question that wasn’t asked got an answer, but others didn’t. And I didn’t start this fight; if anything, it’s you and the other person who apparently don’t know what a statement is. I also wrote that I’m excited about the new class, even if it seems a bit overpowered based on first impressions. Mind your own business and don’t try to provoke others unnecessarily…

[CH3DD4R_G0B-L1N]

Thank you sir

[MeatShield01]

@FatsharkQuickpaw

There’ll be updates to the Expeditions game mode, including a new Expeditions map, new hazards, quality of life changes, etc.

Any talk about using all the amazing looking assets built for Expeditions for new Adventure mode maps?

Any talk about using the tech behind stitching the Expeditions maps together for Adventure mode in general?

[Scipo0419]

Are any of them about Solo Mode?

[aroth68]

@FatsharkQuickpaw

A couple of new enemies! The Traitor Vanguard and Cultist Vanguard, shield-bearing human enemies to spice up the hordes coming your way.

Yesss something to spice up combat against hordes, finally

[Jado]

Quickpaw

All I want to know is if there will be a way to show your face and have a more human (yet augmented) appearance?

In official artwork and so on, there are characters with bionic arms, red robe and all those things, but the faces are mostly still human.

This is what I mean and is it possible:

[syatek]

New enemies is exciting!

Any hint if older classes (pray Zealot) will have some talent tree tweaks?

I hope you all can bring back all the sunset Event modifiers by adding them to Havoc, and increasing the # of maps/mods in the rotation!

EDIT: I see this initial question has already been confirmed yes

Will the new Houndmaster boss and his carapace dogs be added into normal missions & havoc?
