This patch has been the most fun I’ve had in Darktide in awhile. While the new weapons and map are fun, the changes to enemies and difficulty is the real winner here. Having every Auric mission finally not be a sweep is amazing. [image] Secrets of the Machine God - OUT NOW - Pt.2 Faster Groaners …

When i go to the marlstorm and it was difficult [images]

Testing out new builds, played a standard 4 maelstrom and it was BANANAS. Maybe the craziest run I’ve ever had. Loving it.
