What Mods that should be Incorporated into Base Darktide?

I would say no for this one

Same and I use it (with crosshair_hud)
But I would not be against a better interface

what I actually use:

agree on these ones

especially the more loadouts… I tweaked it to allow me to have 20… and that’s great.

which one is the mod to show your health/toughness as curved bars in the middle of the screen? (i’ve first seen it months ago just cant remember what its name was)

Weapon customization is currently technically cheating because you can put a flashlight on ant gun, this is a cheat because said flashlight on a non-flashlight gun is client-side only so other players cannot see it and DH do not react to it. That is the only part of it that is really a cheat though.

Should 100% be base game, felt the same in VT2

Some consider it cheating, I like to see health bars, it increases my monkey-brain neuron activation.

Every single buff a player has that has a duration should have a numeric timer on it.

Much like healthbars, some consider it cheating but I like information, information that technically exists that is hidden from the player is dumb so I agree, this should be base. Debuffs are too important yo be left a mystery.

Let’s advice also this one for keystones

Numeric UI is the best QOL and most realistic for them to implement imo

I wouldn’t mind paying aquilas for renaming weapons in game. Behold:

If I ever make a perfect 550 staff I will name it “Staff of Testicular Torison”.

I wanna say ‘scoreboard’ but the original maker doesn’t know very well what is good practice or not. He knows to a certain degree. For example, block count should not contribute to good score. I feel like I don’t need to explain this. Dodge count or critical dodge (dodging disablers) should contribute to better score but it doesn’t exist.

Why not all 3? I know in case of shield Ogryn block would mean Jack, but it’s still interesting statistic.
As for score… well someone who can tank DH deserves a bit of recognition.

Because it’s bad practice. Sure, shield tanking DH is good but it’s very niche. In general, blocking attacks is bad practice. Shield Ogryns benefit greatly from stagger count.

People can say otherwise to support the idea of blocking attacks, but for me it is a bad practice.

Holy kark sticks - that one is GOLD !
Installing it now… TYTY

The stupid score calculations are easily the worst part of the scoreboard mod and should be turned off be everyone.

That too. It’s very subjective, and to be honest I don’t trust the guy’s calculation or judgment on what consider good score. Just show the stats without calculations is enough.

Have the mods or CM weighed in on this thread or any thread regarding weapon customization? Or are they playing silent?

I really would like to add dodged attacks and also accuracy… but yes, nobody did it.

There is a mod for that: Name It - Rename Weapons and Curios

I know, but I’m weary of mods… In case of Darktide I’m a mod virgin. If it was about Stalker I would be a champion of Slaanesh.

Darktide is missing so much QoL and breaks so many UX conventions without mods. I can confidently say mods is the other thing (out of 3) that has kept me playing despite the other issues it has.

you mean as in the mod or the scrapped feature? mod is fine to use,
from FS side the feature is currently on ice until further notice.

many are hoping that changes,
