As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say that Fatshark’s latest announcement for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide has truly piqued my interest. The Unlocked and Loaded update seems to be a game-changer, especially with the revamped itemization systems.


Fatshark has disclosed additional information about the upcoming Unlocked and Loaded update for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, and it seems this release is packed full of exciting content!

According to the developer, the Warhammer 40,000: Darktide update brings about a comprehensive overhaul of the itemization system, introduces a fresh mission with a unique goal, a brand-new social feature, and numerous enhancements for overall quality of life. Additionally, significant balance adjustments are included in this update as well.

Check out the new narrative trailer, below:


 

  • The Itemization Overhaul reinvents weapon progression, giving players more freedom to experiment and progress with weapons. The overhaul introduces two new systems, Mastery and Power, that provide players with clear avenues to get the weapons and gameplay they want.
  • Mastery: Players simply have to use their weapon of choice through missions which will result in gaining experience in that weapon’s Mastery track. As players gain experience, they will unlock three different types of rewards and unlock more power: Blessing Points, Weapon Marks, and Perks.
  • Blessing Points: Allow players to unlock different tiers of Blessings.
  • Weapon Marks: Players will unlock various weapon marks attached to the Mastery track of the weapon’s family they are progressing in.
  • Perks: Perks tiers unlock automatically as players advance in a given mastery track.
  • Power: With the new Power system, players will be able to see and improve their weapon’s stats, by spending resources at the Shrine of the Omnissiah. The new power system gives players the possibility to increase the base stats of any weapon allowing it to reach its maximum potential.

A fresh mission category titled Rolling Steel will be added. This means a brand-new kind of mission, Operations, designed to offer a condensed and dramatic gaming experience. In Rolling Steel, players find themselves in an action-packed, pulse-pounding situation where the objective is to halt a train that has been seized by cultists. To make things more intriguing, this mission includes a timer as the main goal, adding a new layer of difficulty and increasing the overall gameplay’s thrill level.

A fresh social tool named “Party Finder” is introduced for your convenience, making it simpler to locate other players. Additionally, an exclusive, time-bound special event is planned.

In our assessment, we awarded the game an 8 out of 10 and noted: “If it can sustain its progression, Warhammer 40K: Darktide has potential to improve over time. Currently, it offers a delightfully grim adventure that’s significantly enhanced with companions. Undeniably, fans of this universe will savor every gory moment.

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is out now for PC via Steam.
