The Zealot's Scourge skill doesn't seem to be working properly

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Bugs

Issue Type (Required):

Talents

Issue Description (Required):

In Cykanium, when attacking bleeding enemies, stacks build up properly and maintain well.

However, in-game (Havoc40 or Auric), even when attacking a Horde mob multiple times with daggers blessed with Lacerate,
Scourge stacks often fail to build up proportionally to the number of attacks landed.

Stacks do accumulate when attacking a single enemy slowly and deliberately, but in typical crowded enemy situations, even after a large number of attacks, the stacks rarely build up.

Could you please look into this?

(During about 30 minutes of combat, I checked the skill activation rate, but even with Lacerate applied to the dagger, the scourge stack appears low.)

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

  1. Play using daggers with the Lacerate blessing applied
  2. Perform numerous light attacks in areas with multiple enemies
  3. Verify whether Scourge stacks build up properly

Reproduction Rate (Required):

Common (<50%)

Platform (Required):

PC - Steam

In actual missions, Scourge might not proc on killing blows against bleeding enemies. It was an old bug, not sure if it’s been fixed…

To gain skill bonuses, one must hit a bleeding enemy without killing them
This is an ancient bug

Oh… After checking the in-game recording, it seems that if an enemy bleeding from an attack dies from that same attack, the Scourge stack doesn’t increase.

I hope fatshark fixes this :slight_smile:
