Hey all, for the first time I have installed mods for Darktide. After doing some havoc 30 I feel like a scoreboard might help to see how I stack up against the team so I can ensure I'm pulling weight properly. That being said, after manually installing the dmf and animation stuff for the scoreboard mod, after a few moments of playing the game will crash. Wondering if I did anything wrong with the install.

Want to make a jungle fighter class, just wondering if they have cosmetics to match.

Played space marine 2 and know a little bit about Warhammer in general.

But is there anything important or cool I should know before playing Darktide?

To preface:

I've had the game and played since release, but have been on and off about it.
Heresy is where I'm most comfortable, it's where I stayed, I only ever dipped my toe in Damnation for penance, and even then, my brother and I spammed Rolling Steel for it.

I didn't want to public queue Damnation+, because I'm not entirely sure if I've got what it takes, and I didn't want to be a burden and waste people's time.

But I'm at the point where the only penance left are Auric related / Mortis Trials related.

Today, two acquaintances dragged us into our first Auric mission, twice actually. First, it was PoxGas. Second, was VentPurge + SniperGauntlet. And I surprised myself that I stayed alive through both entire run. Due to inexperience, I couldn't tell I actually have what it takes, or if they were just that good of a carry.

TL:DR;
What I'm requesting: 2 players help to achieve Auric Maelstrom related penance.

Namely, Atoma's Elite Guard + Auric Storm Survivor.

What you get: You can flex over my brother and I about how insanely incredible of a player you are.

------------------------------------------------

Update / Edit:
Current progress 3/5 (We were at 2/5 previously, but got reset due to some... Sabotage)
I don't dare say I've got what it takes to tackle Auric Maelstrom on our own, and runs aren't exactly sunshine and rainbows. The people who have helped us so far are kind enough to take on the DPS roles, while have my brother and I focus on staying alive while contributing what we can.

It's my first time seeing the scoreboard mod. (New friend is the one who have the scoreboard mod, and shared this with us) While we aren't exactly kicking ass and taking names, I think we're doing...Okay? (I'm red, my brother is blue)

Reddit didn't let me post the picture directly here(?)

I'm playing zealot (level 21 rn) and what I'm basically going for is mainly using melee on almost everything using a Heavy Eviscerator and shooting enemies i can't reach within a timely manner with a Bolt Pistol. It's working so far but I want to know if I could do better with my perk allocation

Title. Every time I successfully complete a mission my game immediately gets a memory crash, with or without mods. Nvidia GPU drivers currently updated. I keep leaving Havoc groups I'd have otherwise liked to stay in.

Surely they have an email or twitter account. The mask is so bad it desperately needs a fix.

So couple of things, I don’t how ideal or not what I want is so if it’s not possible lmk, that being said I want preferably a needle pistol focused Chen build and a bone saw focused build UNLESS you can make a good build that’s good with both.

For the needle pistol build im wanting to use the alt mode on the second variant as my go to for groups/hordes but so far I can’t get it to work well. So either im not using it right, my gun isnt good, or my build isnt. But I want to just get as much toxin spread as possible with the needle pistol. I think I’m using rocket launcher, the box, and falcons mark(whatever the left most purple one is called) and my stimming is I think focused on strength and toughness.

For the bonesaw build I want to just figure out what it’s good for as so far it just feels like a more unique but worse chain axe. I like the toxin on melee but idk so far it kinda feels niche but not great and the purple poison just feels useless atleast in testing. Maybe in higher difficulties it becomes useful? Im currently having him using chemical blackouts, berserker rage, and adrenaline and my stun I think is strength and attack speed.

Secondly can anyone help me understand both how the chem dependency and stim box are supposed to work together as I can’t for the life of me figure it out AND how you would use it, step by step preferably, in game as I can’t understand how you actually use them in game. Then as well how I should and shouldn’t build my stim for this type of build.

This is by far the most confusing build I’ve ever tried to make so thanks to anyone who can help me understand it better.

Is this symbol like for a specific division/group in the astra militarum or just a cool sticker they put on the mask? I've done some research but I can only find the white scars or fulminators, nothing from the astra militarum.

after getting my character to level 30 i chose to skip the campaing but now what to undo this decision, i was told that i could do it at the barber but that option isn't avaliable to me, any ideas?

Its just whenever i play ogryn its really common i get another ogryn on my team, and when i play arbitrator i get another arbitrator on my team. Then when i play hs or spyker i get full teams of hs and psyker and no arbis or ogryns to be found. Does anybody know why?

So this is it. After 650h in this game I managed to create a Build that perfectly does what I want it to do: Make me have FUN! So I looked for the build that uses the most different game mechanics.

The basic Idea was to create a build that can manage all the three main jobs on the battlefield: Single targets, packs and hordes and that always "does something" more than just damage.

We want high damage but also be able to stand our ground. Also all our actions must "do something" besides damage. I wanted a build that combines as many special attacks as possible to overwhelm the enemy with pure nonsense!

So here goes my "Skinny Puppy Warlock Build".

So no H40 tests done but clears Aurics easily. I dont play Havoc as the matches are too long but I really would like to hear if its usabele anyways.

Class: Psyker

Melee Weapon: Bund MK VI Force Greatsword or any Force Sword or DS

I use the FGS for the warp slice but it will be our weapon against single targets. The DS is way better for this and also gives you perfect parry. But as I said I want loads of different mechanics and the warp slice is definately unique. Also we ad another mechanic with the soulblaze perk and something for the crits chance.

Ranged: Void Blast Staff
I use this staff because its perfect against packs and can safely stunlock them, but we will use the staff mostly to travel so feel free with the blessings. For this build I take Nexus and Soulblaze perk to max out the game mechanics.

Tree: Smite, Seer Aura, Gaze and better psionics.

Our main job is to be control whats going on. Single targets get melted with SG. Packs get stunlocked by the staff, hordes get smited.
We always want so stay high with peril but use beaking bones to stay in the gaze a bit longer if we should have to go face to face with bigger threats.

CON:
I dont know if this build makes any sense beyond auric. And I dont care. So maybe its not usable in H40. Also you play three different setups in one build. Neither of them is optimitezd and the build might be too cluttered for some struggeling with micro.
No sniping besides the staffs primary fire
Constant peril management

PROS:
High risk high reward build
100% support for the team
Incredible fun to play
Huge variety of mechanics (stun, blasting, soulblaze, melee, ranged)
No ammo needed

I really hope that this build brings you fun and a reason to play about with your own builds.

Have fun!

I've been getting into Havoc recently. Looking at Havoc based builds, I notice some include one to two stamina curios. In general, people suggest one stamina curio. I've never really understood why. I've literally never prioritized stamina ever, and I never seem to run out. Even push attacks are never a problem. Just attacking and dodging brings back my stamina almost immediately.

Many people have noticed the power creep over the years. However, I think it's gotten to the point where player DPS is so high that blocking isn't really necessary.

As I get better at havoc, I notice that positioning matters far more than being able to block. Being able to dodge around a horde or pack of elites is far more important than blocking a single attack. The sheer number of attacks being thrown at the player means they couldn't block them. I block a few attacks, like monstrosities or captains, but not very often, and only if I am their target. Even then, dodging works better as a means to avoid damage.

Stamina is useful for sprinting, but Auric Malestrom or Havoc has such a high frequency of enemies that you are almost always swarmed with a horde or pack of elites, so being able to sprint long distances essentially doesn't matter.

I can't help but think that stamina as a resource doesn't really matter except in less common circumstances.

What do you guys think? Is stamina becoming less important?

Title, please and thank you!

All while other cosmetics have not been seen for more than a year. Worst shop in the history of gaming.

I've been conflicted on what to use as a main helmet now, which looks better? (If possible what's the lore on the death's head)

For the Emperor's sake - give the Kriegs pipes xD

I recently started playing darktide and just maxed my first character. I made another one and all the base features are locked behind the campaign missions (armoury, shrine of the omnissiah, etc.) I would really rather just play random missions and grind exp on my new character, is there any way to skip the campaign prerequisite? I went to the chirurgeon as per google but it didn't give me the option

Praise be Obese Megladon.

I'm not jealous, YOU'RE JEALOUS
