VOTE: Buying DLC should grant some assets to human classes

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide General Discussion

So as the title suggests, I believe that owning the new Hive Scum DLC should grant Veteran, Zealot, and Psyker (exlcuding Arbites because they are…Arbites) access to the new Faces, Hairstyles, Tattoos and Face Paint options for better customization. This would work much like how owners of VT2 were granted exclusive tattoos.

I don’t believe Fatshark should make these assets exclusive to Hive Scum when everybody has been asking for new faces, etc.

I know most of you don’t even want to buy it, so this isn’t for you. To those who would, what say ye?

I also think if you buy the DLC your veteran should be allowed to marry your ganger, and Rannick has to officiate the wedding

Best i can do is a Deluxe outfit that will still remove the female ganger’s tits

4

They should scrap the class. I cannot even comprehend how they can misread the room so bad.

5

Wtf :joy:

6

It should grant them access to dual wielding. That should be free honestly

7

It’s weird to me that Arbites dudes have an exclusive face, which is also better looking than just about all save two of the other human faces.

8

This is likely GW saying no

9

That’s exactly one of the reasons I made this post as well. Arbites get an exclusive face and hairstyle which SHOULD be shared amongst the other classes (@Fatshark make this happen please). There’s really no reason not to when you own the DLC

I don’t think so. I think they rolled this one out second exclusively because of the story line progression. I think they already have the other classes pretty much done, and plan to release them quarterly as originally planned. Our next mission will lead the story to our next class in early 2026

11

Makes absolutely no sense for the face part at least, GW wouldn’t be saying no to different looking human faces for humans.
It’s Fatshark saying no, and what they are saying no to is the effort required to retrofit existing cosmetics to new faces and hairs. They already can’t handle fitting new cosmetics to the existing 15 or so faces and hairs and there’s often clipping issues.

12

Exactly, because Arbites & Hive Scum are able to equip all of the original faces we got for the other classes in addition to their exclusive ones.

13

Voted No.

DLC should be class specific, including the release cosmetics. None of the cosmetic options should be available to existing classes. That’s what makes the scum “unique”.

Basically, why would you get the DLC just to use on a different class, this doesn’t make sense.

14

I’m talking more specifically about the faces. The hairstyles I understand are to be unique to Hive dwellers, but there could be a few that the other classes could share, especially if they have a backstory of growing up in the hive (how Cadian backstory grants you access to 2 unique eye colors and vet voice.)

But most importantly, you would NEED to own the DLC to have access to any of this

15

voted no , dont think other class’s should be encouraged/ pushed to buying other class dlc’s to get their collections.

16

I don’t think anybody in their right mind would do that, but okay…

The point is to get more value out of the DLC

17

Even eyebrows have clipping issues on a lot of faces

18

Right and that’s what I would disagree with. Purchasing hive scum dlc just to get a face for vet would seem scummy (pun intended) for someone who just wants to play vet. Make it free or not at all IMO.

and making it free makes me question the value of the dlc. so I lean to no.

19

But that would be a personal choice (albeit very bad one) if someone decided to buy the DLC strictly for the 4 faces (and possibly hairstyles). It just doesn’t make sense financially and I don’t think 99% of players would do that and not play as the Hive Scum.

However, if you do enjoy the Hive Scum and get to share a few of its assets amongst the other classes, that adds much more value to the DLC and its more bang for your buck.

DLC took extra time and effort to produce and doesn’t add any necessities to the game. Its just some extra spice on your dish. So that costs money

im fine with that i just think it should be for the class being sold.

i can just already see the avalanche of posts from people who dont want to buy that DLC class complaining about how they now “Have to” buy it to complete their other characters sets.

i suspect it would be called a deeply greedy underhanded and manipulative way to force sales of a bad dlc when they should of made an admech.
