Still no Arbites Havoc clothing

It has been months already, why does Arbites not have the Havoc armor? (or even a helmet alone would be enough)

It’s been suggested there is perhaps an issue between gw and FS regarding this, but honestly why FS can’t just make a quick statement about it is beyond me.

Leaving us hanging is not cool but I think we’re all used to it by now.

At least allow us to utilize or dogs. Maybe use their eyes for a flashlight. That would be useful in the blackout levels

It’s such a funny blunder too if that is the case. Releasing an entirely new class that was reallly popular and no ability to monetize that success.

It is business suicide to criticise, even indirectly, the people who own the IP that you pay your rent with.

Also, communication is their dump stat :slight_smile:

It does boggle the mind a bit :face_with_spiral_eyes:

Been playing some more SpaceMarine 2 with friends of recent and the whole cosmetic system just blows Darktides out the water.
Im happy to spend money of Season Passes in SM2 because of the sheer amount of customization and free, earn-able, quality cosmetics which they continuously improve upon.

I love Darktide, probably one of my fave games in existence, but I absolutely hate the cosmetic shop with a passion. I wasnt keen on the V2 cosmetic shop e.g. the lack of re-colours or ability to just put whatever colour you wanted meaning that nice white helmet was difficult to put with anything other than the white body-piece etc. Even a colour swatch like SM2 does would have been a vast improvement. But quite how Fatshark have made Darktides cosmetic system and shop even more expensive, restrictive and sometimes downright sloppy in terms of quality is, quite literally, beyond my ken.

Then they go and release a class that proves extremely popular and yet there is a serious lack of capitalizing on this for what I reckon is the general player-base. I can only assume as many others have here on the forums that the FOMO shop rotation must make them enough money somehow. Again, its beyond me.

Im not a capitalist pigdog though, so what do I know :man_shrugging:

:rofl: :joy:

They kind of have. Of course dropping it on Discord discreetly is a great comm plan for such an asked question.

The game is bland, servers are broken, there’s no new faction or canpaign in sight, yet you want to give them extra money for sprites you can barely see?

Back in my day, a skin was a free .jpg you dropped in a folder and game makers had to finish their games before release.

Lol true, but they don’t have to criticise. They can just say cosmetics are coming but they have to iron out a few kinks first etc.

TBF though there’s never anything in sight because they never announce anything until it’s released. Arbites came out of nowhere and that must have taken a long time to develop.

So they could be working on the above but we just don’t know.

The Arbites doesn’t really have much potential Cosmetics or Weapons from the Lore / Tabletop unfortunately.

But they also gave Ogryn the Heavy Stubber despite him not using it at all in any Lore/Canon/Tabletop Material / Source.
