Warhammer 40,000: Darktide

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a co-op action shooter in which you and your allies in the Inquisition fight to take back Tertium from its enemies. A mysterious force is spreading corruption through the hive city and seeks to bring it under its control. You take on missions to eliminate the threats in the depths of Tertium before the city falls to Chaos.

Tertium Hive

The city is a harsh place, from boiling-hot industrial factories to a decaying water-maintenance zone under constant acid rain. Its streets and depths are threatened by hordes of enemies and the growing influence of Chaos.

Ranged and melee combat

Building on the melee combat of Vermintide 2, Darktide combines close-quarters fighting with gunplay. You balance ranged and melee attacks, using weapons such as chainswords and lasguns against waves of foes.

Your character and class

You create a character and customize their appearance, voice and origin, then choose a class that determines their traits and skills in battle. Your character might be a veteran of the Imperial army, an outsider or a zealot.

Fight as a team

Straying too far from your strike team can leave you vulnerable to enemies that immobilize or capture lone Rejects, including the Chaos Hound and Moebian Trapper. Teammates are the only ones who can rescue you from these foes. Your toughness, which lets you keep fighting through pain, recharges only when you are near your strike team.

Mission conditions

Conditions are mutators that add spontaneous challenges to missions. Your team must adapt its tactics and loadouts to meet them.
