Warhammer 40,000: Darktide (Official) Game Guide

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a first-person action video game set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, developed and published by Fatshark. It is a spiritual successor to Warhammer: Vermintide series.[1] It was released for Microsoft Windows on 30 November 2022. The release for Xbox Series X/S will be revealed at a later date.
The game uses a similar formula to that used in Fatshark's Warhammer: Vermintide 2 in which four players cooperate to defeat periodic waves of AI-controlled enemies.[3][4] Rather than a set of pre-made characters, the game allows players to customize their class, appearance, and gender.[5] The four classes consist of a Veteran, Zealot, Ogryn, and Psyker.[6] All classes make use of a regenerating shield.[7]

Unlike in Vermintide 2, multiple missions will take place in the same area, some of which include optional secondary objectives that allow players to obtain better loot.[7] Difficulty has been divided into two variables, one affecting enemy count and the other damage received from enemies.[7] Progression is split between random rewards, an in-game currency that will allow the purchase of weapons and a contract system to earn a weapon of your choice.[7] Crafting also allows the player to upgrade their weapons and increase their stats.
