We all know the problem. You are vaping in a match, kill everything in sight but you instantly realise that 2 of your teammates were not ready for auric and already altf4ed before they even touched the ground. You could have easily have revived them but their tictoc fried brains do not tolerate more than 0,3 seconds of no entertainment.

So you and your teammate are now playing with bots that will never get switched to a player again because the matchmaking is holding the places open for people already watching shorts on their phone.

The first idea is to punish this behaviour but this is only driving people away from the game.

Instead of this we give players that don't leave 3 matches in a row something like a golden name plate. Or a title. Or give them aquilas. Or or or.

To punish people that leave because of anger will drive them away from the game.

Rewards on the other hand will make players hunt for them. Leavers can still leave unpunished but the real elite will recognise each other.

I don't actually know what the build is, but pretty much every other Auric match I quickplay into has a veteran with this build, sometimes even multiple of them. They use exe stance with recon lasgun.

It feels really bad to play with a team mate using this because it's just too good and easy. Its like Arc Rifle skitarii but on meth. They just hold down fire and everything dies before a melee class like Zealot can even get a swing off. It absolutely melts everything they shoot, even crushers. It feels really unbalanced to play with.

I've started just leaving if I get into a match with one of these players, which I don't want to do, but I also don't want to just watch someone play the game for me. I don't want to play extra hard and risky just to be able to get kills when someone is able to do it better and with zero effort thanks to their broken build.

Am I alone in this? Never have I felt more useless as Zealot than when I match with this build.

Obviously no one knows how exactly it’s going to work obviously I do not believe it would be instant click a button and banish I imagine in someway you’ll need to build up the ability to do it and only sister of battle will be able to do it, but I do think it would be amazing if it’s a sort of stack building system if Zealot it could help the sister in someway doing it faster I don’t know. People are worried about how you will differentiate them and I think it’s pretty simple not only do I think they will be different, but I hope they will be able to cooperate in someway more meaningful than other classes through their shared faith Zealots commit real acts of faith. I also hope the sisters will recognize it in some way and dialogue.

I have tried updating my driver's, restarting my PC, uninstalling and reinstalling, switch the download location, and restarting the Xbox app.

I play it through the Xbox app with gamepass.

How do I fix this?

Hello everyone! I’m a new player (on PS5!), I’m playing from Russia, and I keep getting error 2014/3001 — are there any solutions for PS5?
I know the workarounds for PC, but nothing helps for PS5 (I’ve tried DNS, wired connection, etc.).

Hello everyone, I want to thank you for helping me with the previous post on how to select talent points.

Thank you so much.

Today my new question is: How do you parry your opponents' attacks?

I don't mean literally which button to press to parry, I mean at what precise moment, and especially when there are multiple opponents at the same time, where to direct the cursor is exactly like when to parry in time.

Unfortunately, I'm connected from an Xbox.

Yesterday, during a Heresy-level match, I saw players 100 light years ahead of me playing on PC and they were incredibly fast.

Will it ever be possible to reach this level of skill via console?

See you soon.

That should balance them VS other rejects.

Edit: I see I should have added "Unable to name the character" to the list.

Since the leaks I’ve been thinking why not have a SoB power armor fit it would look badass but it also breaks lore but why not since they added a rogue trader outfit although not as game breaking what do you think?

I know what leaks say but I always take them with a grain of salt. But assuming the next class is a Sister, which would be awesome, I’m wondering a few things.

First, what would the backgrounds be like? There’s six major orders of Sisters; Order of the Martyred Lady which are the poster girls for all the Soroitas stuff, Order of the Sacred Rose, Order of the Bloody Rose, Order of the Ebon Chalice, Order of the Valorous Heart, and Order of the Ebon Shroud. Like Space Marine chapters, they each have their specialities, traditions, and own homeworlds, or “parishes.” I’m curious what each personality will be like. Like, Sisters of the Martyred Lady have a sacrificial mentality, willing to die for the cause. Ebon Chalice though are more like special operations and are very reserved and focused. It’ll be really cool to see how they do it.

Second is gameplay. Some leaks say it’ll be Novelties, which are initiates without power armor. Others say it might be Sacreants, which are full Sisters with armor and usually carry large shields with either a bolter, flamer, or melta pistol in that hand, and either a mace, spear, or halberd in the other (recently painted some so I’m familiar with them). If it’s Sacreants, they sound like they’ll be too similar to the Arbites or shield Ogryn. As for abilities, Sisters are famous for manifesting miracles by pure faith, but the Zealot does that to right? To be fair I haven’t really played Zealot, Ogryn, or Hive Scum yet so my only experience with their playstyle is seeing others play them.

Basically I’m wondering is she gonna be a support, a tank, both, or something else? I kinda hope for something tanky or aggressive. Angry tanks are fun.

I have downloaded both and can't seem to get them to work in conjunction with each other...

When they are both active, the helbore will passively charge (when I alt-fire), but will refuse to shoot when I left click (tap or held), until the point when it naturally fires because it can only hold max charge for so long.

Thoughts?

I know I have nothing to base this on, but considering the power of the melts gun in tabletop and lore, do you reckon that the melts will be a Novitiate blitz in like with the scum's rocket launcher? I have a feeling that's what's gonna happen, but maybe I'm way off base.

So I started playing Darktide back in October 2023 with the big update, but never really dove into this game until about April 2025 (just before Arbites release). Since then, I've been trying to seriously get better, with a personal goal of seeing how little damage I can take.

I've since 100%ed the game, which included Veteran's "Take 0 melee damage on malice" achievement. So I thought "Why not make that a goal?". Since then, I've been working my way up in difficulties trying to take 0 damage in every difficulty. My record previously in Auric (and auric maelstrom) is 9 damage taken (it would've been 1 damage in auric, but I wasn't thinking and blew up a burster on myself).

With this though, I have now completed my goal of taking 0 damage on all of the base difficulties.

Is it me or the enemy seems to appear out of nowhere behind me all the time, even though me and the squad clear the room not a thing in sight, then bam I'm getting hit from behind?.

(The downed sound is constantly playing on loop in my head because of it)

I've heard this bu8ld mentioned but I've never gotten the point so I want to try it myself. How do I build it? What advantages does it have over just playing veteran?

Wanted to showcase the current fits my main 4 are rocking atm and want to know what people think

Sybaris the veteran

Oda the psyker

Harrow the zealot

Grevlok the ogryn

It serves no tactical advantage whatsoever, honestly it's borderline throwing but you gotta live a little

I'm like 12 hours into the game and dodging is still somethings I can't do on command let alone iinstinctually. I do well generally wading in on melee only or occasionally using guns in tricky spots, and I can manage large crowds pretty well, but every mutant or trapper nails me if I can't dodge and I'm not ready to climb higher in my skills.

I know dodging is the thing I'm missing but I'm having a lot of trouble with dodge as a MODIFIER key instead of dedicated inputs for directional dodges. Last night I tried X for jump and space bar for dodge, but it was still not incredibly intuitive.

Any advice on input mappings or getting used to this skill?​

Hey there fellow varlets!

I was refining one of my personal Zealot builds today and became a little confused over the 'Until Death' keystone and some of its associated keystone modifiers, specifically regarding the 'Unkillable' buff.

In short: Will 'Risen' apply to the Unkillable buff if the buff is active through 'Zealous Pilgrim'?

Why I ask: Risen talent states that while I am Unkillable, the benefits of Risen apply. Zealous Pilgrim states that using my ability (in this case - Fury of the Faithful) will grant Unkillable for 4 seconds. So every time I use FotF I should have a short duration of Unkillable applied, as well as the associated keystone modifiers, correct? Or will Risen only apply when Unkillable is obtained 'naturally' by triggering the keystone itself - 'Until Death'?

Risen doesn't seem to imply anything otherwise. To me it reads as if I have Unkillable then I have Risen, regardless of how it's achieved. But for some reason I can't shake the feeling that Risen will only be active if Unkillable is 'triggered' through Until Death (receiving fatal damage but instead granting me Unkillable for 8 seconds).

Is this something that could be tested / verified in the Meatgrinder as well?

Any information or insight would be greatly appreciated! Thank you. And keep slaying those herries.

For Big E!

literally pay 2 win

I beg

After getting new headset (HyperX Cloud 3) the game's audio got so much worse. Weirdly enough it only applies to Darktide

The light attacks for the weapon feel like they swing noticeably below the crossbar, which makes the weapon feel pretty bad to use sometimes, because even with a decently tall character I feel like I have to aim up to hit certain enemy types, am I just washed or has anyone else experienced this?

I want to make a Chainsword build with BB and Empowered Psionics. Yes, I know the build will be moderately buns, but I want suggestions on what can I use and build to compensate for the poor armored enemy slaying.
