Darktide Update Shakes Up Warhammer 40k with Improved Characters and Weapons

The latest patch for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is officially available, and it brings with it some much-needed changes to weapons and characters. The current Darktide patch, which brings the Warhammer 40k co-op game to version 1.0.25, fixes and adjusts each of the four Darktide classes as well as a large number of weapons, primarily focusing on graphical problems and redistributing damage output more evenly.

Mistakes have been fixed in some of the character classes; for instance, the Ogryn Skullbreaker’s “intimidating presence” aura was being used as a multiplier instead of a modifier. That ability should now function as intended, giving an additional 10% to melee attacks.

Using Brain Burst no longer increases the price of warp charges, and being stunned should no longer impede the Psyker’s psi kinetic skills. Similarly, Psykers shouldn’t be able to direct their Kinetic Overload ability upon undead foes.

Using Counterfire or Sustained Fire will no longer replenish Volley Fire when an Ogryn is killed, and the Veteran’s additional damage to weak spots has been increased to 25%.

Later this week, Fatshark plans to announce updates to Dark tide’s crafting system, Sier Melk’s Exchange, and the Armory Exchange. From Steam, here are the complete patch notes for version 1.0.25 of Warhammer 40K: Darktide:
