Your Highlights of 2024

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide General Discussion
1

Maybe some positive feedback for a change - what were your Highlights of 2024?

Mine were:

  • locks removed
  • weapons made available for other classes
  • relic sword, I usually prefer fast hitting weapons, but this just feels so good
  • dark communion - new maps feel more and more unique and distinguishable
  • Was sceptical with havoc, but I like how it nudged you to change the meta and increase team play. Maybe reduced toughness or ammo can become switchable modifiers though, because otherwise some weapons and abilities will always be less/more optimal.
  • bolter buffs

My highlight of 2024 was when fatshark posted the “2024 recap” thing on twitter, and it showed 33 patches in 2024, but we all know that most of them were just shop rotations being added to the game

I think mine was Hestia as I’ve gotten a lot of mileage out of the penance system. Always enjoy working towards completion.

Weapons unlocked is a no brainer oc. I now don’t even bother checking brunts store and it saves me that time. I can just go straight to the mission map.

  1. Force Greatswords - Definitely #1 for me
    • Finally getting a proper nuke skill as a psyker just feels all kinds of tingly. :smiling_imp: Mostly tho it’s just its fantastic moveset and combining cleave, power, and single-target dmg all in one package that actually took a bit of learning & skill to get used to. Love it!
    • FGS has become such a favorite for me that I design almost all my builds around it :joy:
  2. Unlocked & Loaded
  3. New maps, cosmetics, weapon rebalances etc. in general

Havoc well… Let’s just say it’s a rare thing for me to just ignore something even when it has such wonderful cosmetics behind it. With time I’m sure they can improve on it and the party finder experience however. For now I’ll stick to Aurics.

Agree on everything except havoc but I’m happy for those that enjoy the mode :+1::ok_hand:

Edit: im really impressed with the relic sword mostly because they Launched it not needing changes and feels perfect.

Seeing this topic…

…being naturally put to rest, as the locks were finally broken and the battle was over.

My friends finally, after like… 8 years, getting in to a Tide game has been the highlight of my 2024.

Only one out of 6 might stay, the rest are just tourists tbh :sweat_smile:

Still, it has been great fun.

Secrets of the Machine God + lock break update were alright. Rest of the year was a bit of a wet fart, hopefully 2025 is a year for Darktide and not finishing ports. Let’s get like…2 enemies instead or 1, possibly even a boss/monstrosity, 4 maps and like 10 guns. Why does that feel like we’re asking the moon? Previous track record…

Lots of great stuff in 2024, but my standout highlight was ultimately Path of Redemption and the new penance system. Got me to try so many builds, got so many extra hours out of the game thanks to it (and some cool cosmetics too).
