I wonder how this new variant could perform. I might have to jiggle my pouch of Ordo Dockets, Plasteel and Diamantine once more!
isn’t psyker getting a new sword? i thought part of the trailer had a sword where they’d cast lightning as the weapon special
although i guess it’s up to you if you consider the third iteration of surge to be something new
At the moment, I’d settle for just a competent repair/improvement to the veteran tree. Everything else is a distant second. If they’re feeling especially jovial, then maybe even one that brings it into equal-footing with the other 3 classes, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves, right?
I guess it doesn’t speak well of how far my expectations have fallen if my greatest hope for this update isn’t for any new content, but just that they fix the shît they broke last time.
Fingers crossed.

I need my Hellgun 
Update with new weapons comes out.
No update to item system
Blows 250K and 7k+ plasteel on new weapons
Get ONE semi-decent (lvl 3 blessings and not worst persk) weapon
Excellect, Iam so exicted to not play the new weapon variants since only RNG decides if I can have fun
Im sure theyll also be adding folding force shovels for psyker. Its what we all really wanted.

I wish for more, y’know, Warhammer 40000 weapons in my *checks title * Warhammer 40000 game.

That shoveltide is looking really good, now add few more variants especially for psyker/zealot so we can finally play the game how it was intended to be played.

You know that’s a point. I’ll take the 2 handed C-Axe because it’s a very Warhammer 40k weapon but it feels like we got a lot of standard weapons for what was there.
If we got something like a new plasma gun mark or a new bolter mark it would be neat.
I’ve made a morbillion posts about a new plasma gun mark and how it would be fun to include.

I really wanted more shovels but I also fully acknowledge how boring and banal that is for a content add and think they should supplant that with weapons people wanted to see.
Like why do we need another chainaxe that has a strikedown heavy instead of the Sturndrang Mk III Heavy Chainaxe? Or melta, or the Godwyn Bolter. Or plasmas like you said.

Where is my 2H chainaxe? Where is my melta gun? They better not be planning to give us shovels as the free content and gate the 40k toys behind paid weapon packs.

Between the difficulty adjustments and various hotfix changes, 2 maps, weapon marks, cinematics, vet keystones and following talent pruning (thank god for that btw) and everything else, this is a LOT more than Darktide usually gets within a single month’s time.
Of course I’d love some completely new weapons too. I mean as a psyker main we haven’t gotten a single new staff since release, and we still don’t have a dedicated high single target dmg staff. Esp. since the class overhaul and new blitzes & ults etc including Illisi, a ranged single target anti-elite/boss build is finally viable. Yet it’s the one thing psykers can’t do. Psykers also have no unique staff skins where there’s been tons available for other weapons, and only yesterday got their first unique Force Sword skin. So sure, I’d love more at some point too.
But it’s hard to call this month a disappointment given between the class overhaul and these we’ve received way more content now than basicaly in the almost year before. I’m certainly happy with this pace and hope they can keep delivering like this in the future too!
Its called Warhammer but the actual hammers are bad, and there’s only two. Its actually warshovel 40,000 (the 40,000 is the number of variations of shovels we can expect some day).
I would much rather a 2H Chain axe than a variation of the Chain axe.
100% what I think will happen. They promised not to sell weapons but, you know how it is, that was before. Now the plan has changed. (also the entire global economy is in shambles so…businesses are doing whatever they can get away with to stay profitable at this point).

My worst case scenario would be them doing that but still having it in the loot pool so you just end up with a bunch of weapons you can’t use without buying them and you end up just staring at a bunch of crap you can’t use.
The loot pool is already diluted if you play psyker for example but now you get weapons you can’t even use.
This is the general direction games like these are going these days. I remember back in the early 2000’s that we’d get map packs with like 4+ maps, at least 2+ new game modes, maybe a few weapons and a bunch of new cosmetic items in updates. but now it takes forever to deliver 1 stinking map which isn’t even part of a full update.

It’s a little more than one map, though.
You make a good point and I just got to accept that they probably done goofed off.
The update is just more catch up
Weapon marks that really should have been there at launch.
Potions from v2 as stims
The heretics you fight actually having some presence in the game’s story and cutscenes
A named heretic
It just sort of feels like stuff that would have been at launch if the game was as finished as v2 at launch
