Literally… this. Over last year, I’ve become more & more anti-pub Darktide. I just cannot do it anymore… 90% are just absolutely horrible! 8% are pretty solid & the last 2% are god-tier players. Anything new in Darktide that comes out like Havoc, etc… I’m just lucky to a have very close group of buddies for my pre-made to conquer the new stuff.
I’ve even made a large rant post awhile back about how I hate pubs. It got like 1.6k views too: The Drastic Decrease of Quality Players! - Warhammer 40,000: Darktide / General Discussion - Fatshark Forums
