My stuff in the requisitorium rotates out randomly, not on the normal 24hr timer. Pretty annoying when I see something great and don't even get a chance to earn the credits.

zealots are the only class that has any benefits at all to not having max health and therefore the slimmest shred of an excuse to not use a medicae station that has four charges, right? it’s bolted to the wall folks you can’t take it with you and we’re not coming back to it later, just use the stupid thing

Is it just me or does the Lucius pattern lasrifle kind of suck compared to the regular one? It has iron sights which are terrible, and the charging ability just makes it feel sluggish (since it's fire on button release). Which is a disappointment since it's way cooler looking.

Having played with it a bunch, lucius is a baby plasma rifle. You lose a lot of versatility and usability, it has an unwieldy uh, wield, in exchange for the best armor piercing and damage potential in the whole lasgun line. Your primary target changes from even specials to only the heaviest armored elites and especially bosses you can just destroy.

Personally not a fan, I think big single target is less important than versatility and multitarget in this game.

My probably wrong take is that on lower level missions you don’t need the damage and on higher ones the missing health is an unnecessary risk and asking to die to that one poxwalker that always spawns behind you and makes no sound. No reason to not heal even as zealot.

Just had a Chasm Terminus run where the opening bridge was three reapers and about forty ranged guardsman, into the first blind drop having four maulers, four armored ragers, about twenty melee guard and, oh yeah, two trappers.

We did not get further.

oh totally, health is an incredibly more valuable resource than buffs, but i can understand why someone who’s not a minmaxing videogame expert might skip a station in that circumstance at least. much less so why the ogryn with two wounds is treating it like it’s antimatter and he’ll be annihilated if he gets close to it

Even as a Zealot I pretty much always stay topped off, that extra 15 damage or whatever is not worth it at all. Plus there's a feat that gives way more than that anyway and all you have to do for it is hit enemies

You can get loot drops from doing missions, anecdotally it feels more likely to happen if there's a secondary objective like Scriptures or Grimoires and you fully complete it.


I've gotten both a purple ogryn cleaver and a yellow curio from random drops, but also a chunk of blues and whites so ymmv.

I'm 30, and it resets randomly. Like an 1-2 hours ish. Happens even if I haven't played a single mission.

You have a chance to randomly get loot after a mission. It's usually bad. I got a legendary curio one time though.

Loot is likely going to change once crafting gets implemented. Vermintide let you upgrade common gear to top tier, then let you switch bonuses.

This nonsense with the additional maps and lack of crafting system is making me worried about the additional weapon types. I'm hoping the leaked weapons aren't just stuff that was partially in the game and not ready yet. The current weapons in the game is... pretty sparse.

i mean, sort of. I don't mind waiting, but if they can't keep the population up, it's a lot less fun. these types of games are fun when a bunch of people are playing them and queue times are short. so let's hope they get it fixed up in time to keep people interested

This is my main concern too. If there will be something similar to Chaos Wastes in Darktide, the differences in weapons is going to be extra annoying. In VT2 you can on quite a few builds roll with random weapons for upgrades, but I would not do that in Darktide.

For example, losing a Psyker staff for a lasgun seems like a run ending change.

On that note, give Psykers an option to remove guns from loot rotation. None of us need that stuff anyway after unlocking staves.

My insane conspiracy theory is that we are playing a spy for a second chaos faction and most of the maps and plot are under embargo because they involve loving up imperial guard. All of the player voice acting is highly heretical in nature, with what are clearly Khornate zealots and Tzeentch psykers. People keep talking about how they can't trust us and everyone is suspicious of each other. The game could pull a KOTOR.

It would even let them expand the weapon pool and give out the current interesting weapons sooner since we'd also have daemonic stuff to look forward to.

It isn't going to happen but I can dream.
