Vulture’s Push Keystone Modifier – Knockback Not Working as Described

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Bugs
1

Issue Type (Required):

Talents

Issue Description (Required):

The ability does not behave as described. The tooltip states “knocks all enemies around you backwards,” but in practice:

  • The knockback only affects non-heavily-armoured human-sized enemies.
  • Large enemies, and carapace humans, such as Ogryns, mutants, plasma gunners, maulers and bosses are unaffected.
  • The knockback is very weak and does not knock enemies down, only pushes them slightly.

This makes the wording misleading, as “all enemies” and “knock” suggest a stronger, universal effect.

Expected Behavior:

  • All enemies within range (including Ogryns and bosses) should be knocked backwards.
  • The knockback should be strong enough to visibly disrupt enemies, potentially knocking them down, consistent with the wording “knock.”

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

  • Equip the Vulture’s Push keystone modifier.
  • Engage a group of enemies including elites, specials, and large enemies (e.g., Ogryns or bosses).
  • Kill an elite or special enemy using a ranged attack.
  • Observe the knockback effect on surrounding enemies.

[PC] Do You Use Mods? (Optional):

Yes, but I haven’t tried disabling them

Reproduction Rate (Required):

Constant (100%)

Platform (Required):

Further testing shows that it also doesn’t affect maulers or plasma gunners either.

Edit:

Dreg gunners are also unaffected by it somehow.

Edit 2:

Both shotgunner types are completely unaffected.
