Enjoying the event with friends!
Who’s gonna tell him
Come on man I’m all ears.
So there is no description about the mechanics of the new event anywhere that I can tell.
I get that some bulwarks drop grenades but what’s the deal with player grenade regen? It seems to happen sometimes but not always? Is there something that triggers the regen?
On elite kill, although I’ve not checked the specifics.
It’s a relatively high chance to regen a grenade on elite kill in coherency, seems like crushers have a much higher chance. It allows hive scum players to just non stop shoot the rocket launcher into every elite, with expected results in practice (walking simulator)
The event may actually be alright without hive scums spamming boombringer, but I have not gotten that lucky yet
A high effort take on this event could’ve been adding extra effects to blitzes, kind of like mortis but different effects. Call em “ogryn engineered blitzes” or something and give them wacky extra effects. As a bonus, psyker could participate in the mechanic too that way. As it is this is just a rehashed mix of existing events without much care given that Hive Scum just trivializes it.
This event feels kind of bad as a Zealot. In the time it takes to charge (Thrust) a powered up Thunder Hammer swing that maybe deletes 1 (one) Crusher, the Veteran and Hivescum have already cleared the battlefield with their rocket launcher or krakks.
It really highlights how ineffectual the Zealot’s blitz skills are.
Just accept your role as Chorus Bot
I’d unironically have preferred nothing rather than this. That’d be less insulting than this detritus.
This sounds like it belongs in Mortis trials where we get whacky busted builds to play around with.
Me when I try to peddle a png and low effort ogryn spam as an ‘event’
I got regen rockets on hive scum on this !
Nah, I’ve uninstalled instead. It’s clear to me the direction of the game isn’t going anywhere I care for at this point.
It’s definitely an event modifier that strongly incentivizes meta builds and punishes players for using unique weapons like Dclaw or Heavy Sword.
Yesterday I took on the role as Smyker
in a Damnation PUG (I always drop the dif at beginning of events as everyone, myself included are still learning about all the pleasant event specific surprises) while the Ogryn, Zealot ran around smashing all the Ogryns. I died halfway through the mission during a boss fight, everyone else was dead within a minute later.
Never ending mosh pit of Ogryns and Bursters, in my experience PUGs on this event go from zero to 100 in an instant without overpowered CC like Smite pausing the game forever or Boom Bringers just deleting everything as soon as it appears.
See you at the next class drop 
What this “event” achieves so far is to show silly state of krak gambling playstyle on veteran and BB silliness on Hive Scum, to the wider Tide playerbase. This wasn’t as apparent outside Havoc. It’s just another piece of news about the laughable state of Darktide “balance” atm.
Also, extra barrels and pox bursters being part of this “event” to me just show the state of communications between the design team and the playerbase.
I main ogryn and have been having fun using the power maul. Lots of crushers to electrocute
I feel this event is going to give me tinnitus, the amount of loud explosives is making my ears ache and hurt. Actually ridiculous how noisy the event is.
I must admit me too, though in a way it’s just hilariously ridiculous. I took my favorite in the past thammer and eviscerator zelot builds I haven’t played in ages, and just had fun butchering dozens after dozens of stupid ogryns. it was a nice change of theme. It was amusing to see firing squads of reapers at times too, really made me freeze in awe and laugh lol. Until you have a boom bringer punk on your team, or inferno psyker, then beter quit and queue again unless it’s Auric - or they’ll suck all fun out of it.
