Made me appreciate the charm of cooperation all over again. So aside from the itself, I thought I’d share some more tips that I’ve noticed most randoms don’t really do. First, role assignments, I recommend that even when playing with randoms, at least try to discuss before entering the boss area who will focus on destroying orbs in the air, who will focus on taking down elite specialists and hordes, and who will focus on dealing damage to the boss. Then focus on your own role. Next is resource management, don’t waste any ammo crates along the way. Normally, you can bring 2 into the boss area. If you have a vet, everyone should have plenty of grenades to create a safe environment for dealing boss damage. Finally, just like in the twins, players can respawn in the boss area over and over again, so try to keep your party fighting near the respawn point as much as possible. Extra tip, if you’re playing on Havoc and don’t have a well coordinated squad, definitely avoid rotten armor. I’ve only ever succeeded in premade team. Hope we get more interesting maps like this. ---

> [@CobaltNinja](#): > > than any des2ny raid boss It does feature many classic boss fight familiar from other games (even from VT2), and they integrate well with darktide’s own mechanics. I can’t help but wonder what it would be like if there were a chaos space marine boss, that act similar to the captains, but with much more mechanisms. ---

A VT2 rehash I would have been 100% in favor of is having the scab captain on Spillway be named ‘Captain Byron Wolfer’ with his mask and had him turn into a chaos spawn halfway through the fight. Have the cultists lose their minds and say ‘enough! the grandfather will assume command!’ ---

Just beat it again with with rotten armor. Same 3ppl and a random player. Still basically a premade team. ![Spillway2](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/fatshark/original/3X/a/d/ad50dc4ec04186729b1a025fff6371cfb79d18ae.jpeg) 2 additional tips: If your class has boltgun, better bring it. Also, would be nice to take the flak damage perk. ---

Lol I won my first Havoc 40 on spillway with exactly two of those modifiers with randoms XD It was actually pretty fun mission UNTIL the boss fight where Rotten Armor spawns in the middle of all the boss attack patterns and also Rinda Karnak spawning randomly (I think it happens only in Havoc?), the fight was very messy but thankfully the 3 of us got carried by good Hive Scum player who clutched I think 2 times during the fight [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/FVJKNIFtIHY/maxresdefault.jpg "Spillway Havoc 40 is Hell... (Rotten Armor / Moebian 21st)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVJKNIFtIHY) ---

9/10 times not dealing with trash/elites+specials is what kills you, not the boss. The circles on the ground need to be more transparent to see where should we stand, Phase 2 is okay. ---

> [@Palumtra](#): > > 9/10 times not dealing with trash/elites+specials is what kills you, not the boss. Meanwhile, twins frequently appear in Havoc 40 while phase 2, which further tests the team’s ability to deal damage to the bosses. Bring your big guns. ---

I hate SM (and CSM by extension) myself, but I would be happy to get to kill them like punks. That said, FS seems to have ruled out any space ubermensch in the game. ---

on the topic of CSM and fatshark saying they wouldn’t add any, hedge put it best: truth changes!
