In future patches, we will continue refining enemy compositions, adjusting outlier weapons, and improving those that have been falling behind. Darktide is at its best when combat feels intense, responsive, and fair. These changes are aimed at supporting that experience, reducing unnecessary extremes while expanding the number of ways players can succeed. > > There are plenty of other mechanics and enemies that we can improve, such as the high density of Ogryn Bulwarks.

Please let us know what you think of these changes after you’ve had some time testing them out next week. like we can just assume none of it will come to pass but why? we can only work off the info we have in good faith fatshark wants to bring down player powerlevels and enemy spam a bit to make the game more thoughtful again = good idea fatshark nerfs crusher spawnrates, nerfs uncanny and buffs inferno staff = following that idea but making a big mistake fatshark says coming up next are more adjustments to make the game less spammy and feel thoughtful = will be good if they dont mess up the execution i don’t even know what you’re triyng to gloat about. i’m fine waiting for the changes to reach a cohesive state of improvement --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/stop-asking-for-weapon-nerfs-in-a-team-game/121621)._
