Warhammer 40K: Darktide's New Era
Get ready, Space Marines! "Warhammer 40k Darktide" Patch 13 is here, bringing a comprehensive overhaul of the classes that changes the way you create your builds. The progression system is replaced with talent trees. This is likely the best time since the game's launch to jump back into the co-op shooter, especially if you've been waiting for the massive class revamp.
"Warhammer 40k Darktide" is already one of the most enjoyable co-op games of recent years, especially for hardcore fans of Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000's dark, chaos-infested setting. At release, the game was plagued by technical issues, but developer Fatshark has since been hard at work with a series of major updates and patches.
The Class Revamp in Darktide
The Darktide class revamp changes the way you upgrade your Darktide classes and replaces the old progression system with a new set of talent trees for each character. Each class now starts with a base ability, a flash, and an aura - those familiar with the previous versions of the classes will likely recognize these. As you progress through the new talent trees, you'll find options to enhance existing abilities or exchange them for new ones.
Balance Changes and More
The extensive patch notes for Darktide Patch 13 also include a significant portion of balance changes for most Darktide weapons and blessings in light of the new class balance. Fatshark says these were guided by "closed community testing" to ensure optimal balance, and there are so many changes that they don't even fit into a single Steam news post.
Other Additions
There are also new controller settings and a "cheer" option added to the marking wheel to celebrate this massive overhaul or simply the glory of the Emperor. It's a big year for the franchise, so check out the best Warhammer 40k games for even more digital adaptations of the tabletop gaming sensation.
