Description

Take back the city of Tertium from hordes of bloodthirsty foes in this intense and brutal action shooter. Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is the new co-op focused experience from the award-winning team behind the Vermintide series.
In the depths of the hive, the seeds of corruption threaten to turn into an overwhelming tide of darkness. A mysterious and sinister new force is seeking to take control of the entire city. It is up to you and your allies in the Inquisition to root out the enemy before the city succumbs to Chaos.
As Tertium falls, Rejects Will Rise.

![]()
Built on the legacy of Vermintide 2’s best-in-class melee combat, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide introduces intense WH40K gunplay to the mix. Master the balance between ranged and melee combat as you fight through a slew of enemies. Feel the impact of each swipe, swing, and slice of a chainsword, or fry some flesh with a lasgun.

![]()
Darktide is a co-op game. Wandering too far, risks punishment by foes looking to immobilize or capture stray Rejects, such as the slavering Chaos Hound or the Moebian Trapper. Once you fall prey to such foes, only your teammates can save you! More than that, your innate toughness – your determination to press on through the pain – only recharges when you are in the proximity of your strike team.

Create your own, unique character and customize their physical appearance, voice, and origin. Choose your class to determine which unique traits and skill sets they will make use of in battle. Will you be a seasoned veteran of the Imperial army, a snarky outsider, or a fiery zealot? The choice is yours.


Step into the violent, dystopian world of Warhammer 40,000. From boiling hot industrial factories to the decaying water maintenance zone afflicted by constant acid rainfall - Tertium Hive is a hard and unforgiving place even at the best of times. Your role is to serve the zealous Inquisition by embarking on missions to exterminate the threats lurking in the depths of the hive city, or die trying.

![]()
Adapt to the erratic whims of Chaos with conditions- mutators that add a spontaneous challenge to your mission. Your team must learn to adjust, adopt new tactics and change up their loadouts to face these ruthless challenges.

i got this in early access...for more than current base price. no imperial edition either. since then we have gotten: 0 new cosmetics buyable without real money 0 promises fulfiled, including a backtrack on free classes and solo mode 20+ premium cosmetic sets that cost over $12 EACH and $12 class dlcs with seperate cosmetic dlcs meanwhile the main gameplay has barely improved since. Fatshark are traitors to their fanbase. do not buy this, even on sale. let nugle have atoma.

The core of the game is pure FUN! But for the life of me, I can't get a stable FPS. It fluctuates wildly, jumping anywhere from 20 to 100 FPS, with an average range of 20 to 47. I've tried playing on low and high settings, and I don't use ray tracing. Even when the FPS is on the higher side, the game still stutters! I've tried following optimization guides and reinstalling the game. I really want to recommend this game I really do because it's incredibly fun when it actually works.

The game is genuinely fun but I cannot fathom how bad the optimization is, I upgraded from my I5 11400h to a ryzen 9 6900hx and I genuinely got like 10 fps more, FATSHARK PLEASE, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ FIX YOUR GAME, SOME PEOPLE GENUINELY DO NOT HAVE THE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ OPTION OF HAVING A 5000$ COMPUTER TO PLAY YOUR ♥♥♥♥♥♥ GAME
