Morning all, here’s a few ideas I’ve had for the game. I’m by no means an expert, just my own thoughts 
When Darktide launched Veteran was my preference, stoic trooper with lasgun vs the galaxy is iconic, and I usually play snipers in shooting games. I hit 30 with them then moved to the other classes, and the Veteran just seemed a little bland in the end. I get that that’s somewhat the point, they’re the professional class with the reliable equipment who get the job done. But for me at least, in game at the moment the Arbitrator is a more effective ranged character with the Arbites shotgun, and the… warrant ability? The bottom left purple node that highlights specials. The Arbitrator is a more effective ranged hunter than the Veteran for me, which feels like a shame. Plus the dog is great fun. Now with the Hive Scum, the Scum will melt monstrosities in seconds, and whilst I don’t think they’re better than the Vet against specials, they are, for me at least, way more fun. Dual pistols and Boom Bringer is hilarious.
So, what do I want to see for my beloved Veteran?
I think they need weapon modifications first. I know there have been rumours about why that wasn’t implemented and stuff, but the ability to change the attachment and the scope as a Veteran ability would be really cool and make them distinct to the others. Flashlight attachment, bayonet, no barrel attachment, iron sight, low magnification scope, night-vision scope in lights out anyone? yes please. Just a small amount of modifications would be a lot of fun. The autogun is on all the human classes for example, and it would make the Veteran stand out, and make sense as a professional soldier.
Next, a few passive nodes, something like Volley Fire! where if you’re stood beside someone else also shooting, the Veteran shooting is buffed. I know the node for 90% reduced threat was too much, but a reduced version of that would be great to have back. I’d love to see smoke grenades get a minor buff too. Both let allies see through it, and ive it a choice of either minor healing effect, or minor corruption clearing effect. A smoke grenade with blessed censer smoke is very 40k right?
I’d like to see some other minor buffs in place for the other classes. Tailoring the stimms for the Scum is cool. It doesn’t need to be anything even remotely that involved, but if the ogryn got a choice of one of three different rations for example to give a minor buff for the mission. Zealot could get one of three minor prayer buffs when an ability is activated. Just a little extra thematic choice.
For Scum, I’d love to see dual las pistols. Look at the Escher ganger plastic model with dual pistols that look like duelling pistols, so cool. Also, the needle pistol is great, give us a needle rifle pretty please. I’d also love an Escher ganger lasgun skin, it’s a great looking weapon.
I need Tanith cosmetics too, I’ve been waiting for three years ever so patiently.
Other than that, I’ve been loving the game since it launched, great work from all involved.
