DARKTIDE - All Classes Guide - Builds, Skills, & How to Play Each Character - Warhammer 40k Darktide

[@milkandcookiesTW]

There are some talents and abilities that are not working properly in the live preorder beta version that released yesterday, that *were* working properly in the build I used to record this video. Hopefully those will be addressed soon, and then we will have a better understanding of where each Class stands as we move towards launch day. But certain changes like Psykinetics Wrath only purging 50% Perils instead of the full 100%, I dont believe are intentional

[@aethanix2060]

Might i ask what's not working?

[@maximhebert-gareau4461]

Psykinetic wrath only removes 50% perils, you have to keep headpop line of sight, energy sword push generate perils

[@yanghddavid]

Zealot’s charge only regens 50% toughness instead of 100%, and the passive toughness regen near enemies might not work either

[@envy1831]

I didnt see the thunder hammer under zealots unique weapons. Is it available for the veteran now too?

[@tagger_]

Not just "not working properly" ; but some are changed a fair bit. The Zealot's feats being some that are changed a fair bit - not just text/description, but also the image for the feats, which kinda makes it hard to quickly look at your feats and try it out :) I.e. the "Enemies within, Enemies without" feat having been change a fair bit (regen changed a bit, while distance has been cut in half).

[@MegaBendex]

One thing I noticed about the Ogryn was how fast he carries objective barrels and energy cells and things like that. He still cannot attack but his movement speed seems almost unaffected. Just a small thing, but could prove useful to remember on certain maps like the ammunition depot when moving a lot of carriable objectives. Not only useful but cool that they added in some asymmetry with the different sized characters and their actual capabilities.

[@milkandcookiesTW]

i definitely forgot to mention this lol, good looks. yeah for objectives its really cool that Ogryn is so effective at moving heavy stuff. to the top with you

[@GamerGrovyle]

@@milkandcookiesTW I love that they made sure to make that a thing. Lorewise it makes sense because Ogryn are a lot stronger than humans. Shows the developers care

[@nokturnallex2160]

Ogryn's tanking isn't so much about how much damage he can absorb but how much crowd control he can do. He can basically just fart in the general direction of enemies and AoE stun them all. His melee attacks have the biggest AoE's and highest stagger value (At least from what I noticed in the closed beta) So to utilize him properly, you tank via Stunning the enemies, with his special Charge Attack (F) and melee attacks. Using your ranged attacks just to suppress and stagger ranged enemies before jumping into the fray to stunlock them all. And yes, it still works on the highest difficulties, you just have to be aware of when to take cover and when to charge forward. Both Ogryn and Zealot can basically just charge forward the whole time and melee enemies to death on the lower difficulties, but both of them need to be more defensive when it comes to the higher ones, becoming the frontline of the team that defends Psyker and Sharpshooter from melee packs while they deal with special enemies and ranged enemies.

[@orochifire]

@@nokturnallex2160 so what you're saying is thunder hammer zealot is better at tanking

[@AdamTuxTengler]

@@nokturnallex2160 Kinda reminds me of how Winston plays in Overwatch. He's not tanking by standing in front of his team and shielding them. He's tanking by diving into the enemies, shielding himself and forcing them to deal with him. His team then uses the chaos to get some kills. The thing is, bad Winston dives and dies, because it takes a good Winston to know, when you can and should dive and when it's suicide :D. I expect to see something similar in Ogryn on higher difficulties.

Looking forward to what they might do with Psyker. Warp Charges seem strong, but I was never big on pyromancer's gameplay. Hope we get something closer to Battle Wizard where quality of spells is traded for sheer number of spells. And melee force staff, always melee force staff.

[@kemanorel3110]

Would also love to get something like Unchained, as that was my primary in Vermintide 2

[@Morveyn]

On the topic of Ogryn, it's important to note that all of his talents that involved heavy melee attacks also translate over to the various melee attacks on his primary weapons. This includes both his toughness talents and the bleed talent, which can be quite good with just about any of his ranged options, but can be especially wild with the grenadier gauntlet. With how fast the light attacks on the gauntlet are, you can easily sit at that +50% damage reduction in big hordes by spreading bleeds to everything that moves, while staying nice and healthy all the while. You can also make rather good use of the 2 spot on lvl 5 together with the bayonet on ripperguns. Even though the odd difficulty setup and the punishing nature of elites at the moment make it almost impossible to play skullbreaker at higher difficulties, and basically make slab shields mandatory in all cases, it's nice that the big guy has some neat synergies and satisfying weapons all the same.

[@Orowam]

Doesn’t the bleed only happen on heavy attacks though? The gauntlet shouldn’t be causing any bleed if you’re light attacking.

[@AHH96]

The class you choose also matters a lot depending on if you play random matches or with friends. I exclusively play random matches in VT2 and most of the time you can't really trust your team so you need to be ready to fend for yourself sometimes. I love playing Pyromancer, but on legend I just couldn't do it without good teammates, so I would play Ironbreaker on legend because I could better fend for myself when I had to.

So after playing for a bit the early levels I recommend playing a more sword central build using the sword buff skill instead of brain burst it allows you to charge your sword up at 99% without killing you and causes your gauge to lower faster so as long as you don't spam you get the benefits without dying and still have brain burst for snipers and gunners

[@Necro_fury]

After playing a good amount, the beginner sword sucks dong lol. Much better to go with axe since 1hits trash mobs. The preacher's autopistol was good as well for early game swarm clear. Seems like force sword opens up pretty quick which doesnt 1 hits trash mobs but has great utility (great push and single target dmg). Voidstrike staff has been my fav

[@BattleBro77]

They’ve stated they’re weighing up whether to make us pay for the rest of the class content. Some could be free or they could all be paid. It is most likely that (almost) all will be paid DLC, if we go by modern gaming industry trends, as well as the company’s track record. They aim to release 4 new classes a year- that’s just an aim though, it could be less. Edit: there’s “70+ weapons” (lots of variants of the same weapons, most likely) and 13 missions/maps.

nice vid, i rolled veteran in the beta, something u didnt mention, reloading the plasma gun vents all the heat out of the bottom and doesnt damage you, paired with the 20% reload with rounds left in mag, and 30% reload for killing an elite, you can chain some high damage output when needed when there are alot of elites about, its a fun build that i can cake walk level 3 with, havent ventured above 3 yet but as u said, i think a nade build will do better at high level content, especially with bleeds helping ogryns tank damage. EDIT: i think the ogryn needs a toughness buff 1 hunnet

[@BruderRaziel]

I have question: I heard there are many more weapons and variations in this title. Now, one thing from Vtide 2 that I always liked was that almost every weapon was very unique in terms of moves and pretty much everything was viable with practice. How does Darktide compare in this regard? I would love to have just more unique/viable options, but at the same time this gets harder the more you add.

[@Faravid829]

When I played a bit of the beta, I was really impressed the weapons, not only did different weapons feel distinct, but there were also seemed to be variants of the same weapon that had a different move set. And the addition of every weapon getting a special ability further differentiated them from eachother.

[@khaunleper]

Yes, something else is that the MK is different. So a MK1 lucious pattern is different thank a MKII Lucious patter, which is different thank a MKIII Lucious pattern, and this also applies to melee weapons. Basically, for ranged, the different MKs will be different range, accuracy, rate of fire. So (random example), the MK1 pattern might be better for hitting targets far away since it has better range and accuracy, but fires slow. For melee weapons, the MK difference affect the melee combos. SO how you actually swing. an MK1 might have for light attacks, three horizontal attacks (good for horde clearing), btu the MKII might be overhead/cleave/overhead, which won't be as good for hordes, but could be better for single target. Heavy attacks can also vary this way. So when upgrading weapons, you need to look at these things. For Melee weapons, if you compare or do details you can see the melee combos, but I don't remember seeing the MK differences for ranged weapons spelled out anywhere.

to be fair ive found a large group of people to play with and figure out team builds but ive found the ogryn with slab shield works great with someone using a flamer. if you drop your shield in a choke point you block all enemies but your teammate can fire through you and deal tons of damage. in many situations i was able to position myself in such a way that others could fire past me on either side while also keeping all enemies aggroed and in front of my shield. it works wonders when youre in close quarters and you need some breathing room. you can also bull rush through enemies and then jump in a corner and drop your shield, pulling the fire away from your squad with relatively little danger to yourself. edit: it might just be me, but ive noticed that if i swing my camera around while in melee, it hits far more targets. I also dont think special enemies should be able to stagger or pin you if your shield is dropped, but thats just me.

there are also some subtleties between classes.. the Veteran takes instant health damage from a melee attack a long with toughness but shirks off ranged attacks with only toughness while the fanatic only takes toughness from melee and ranged.

Slab Shield Ogryns imo are phenomenal to have even in damnation. You'd be surprised how useful it is to plug a hallway/door with your shield while teammates shoot/throw nades in. Mutants, Hounds, and trappers are your worst enemy and you do need to rely on your team for taking them out. Majority of your weapons allow for alot of CC whether its ranged or melee You can take all the aggro from snipers, Ogryns, and ragers using your slab shield Your grenade box actually does some scary damage to bosses on top of being a 1 shot kill to everything else ( useful for getting rid of armored ogryns before they even do anything ) even though it DOES NEED A BUFF It's also underrated how you dont get staggered when reviving an ally. Sometimes you end up being dedicated Res member especially if you have the feat for 25% dmg red per downed ally ( way better choices for feats tho as its counting on your team to die/get downed. Why you let lil'uns get down anyway? ) My Ogryn has 6-7 wounds as well so that to me says i have a max of 6 downs before i actually die. on Damnation id be damned if i didnt have 1 of each class for the mission, Ogryns' have their own invaluable set of skills to put on the table and there is an argument to be made of them being a niche tank but nonetheless a TANK for your team as oppose to a zealot who is tanky af but they are not someone who should be pulling all the aggro when snipers are just existing around you

This is a random question; can you pause when playing solo in this game? I remember it not being a thing in Vermintide and it was a little annoying.

[@milkandcookiesTW]

I dont believe so. the game runs on dedicated servers, when you load into a mission it is "live" until your team dies or you complete it

[@adr0961]

@@milkandcookiesTW Gotcha, thank you!

[@Taumaril72889]

@@milkandcookiesTW Something I always wish the games took from the l4d series is the afk bot setting, sometimes just being able to step away for a minute and have the bot take over was very useful

The evicerator makes me think of the executioners sword

[@wesgaminginc.439]

But a chainsaw

[@Blind_Smithy]

The eviscerator is just a chainsword, Eviscerator should be size of the person wielding it

QUESTION!. A friend gifted me a copy of the game, Will I be able to play the beta today?

[@Adlancer99]

Yes. You will be available to play the beta. :)

[@MyViolador]

@@Adlancer99 nice

[@wtfronsson]

If it's a steam copy, yeah.

[@Nightshade31401]

I was really hoping that Sharpshooter had more usable offensive abilities tbh. Could be anything...shovel throw...bayonet charge. Anything.

[@kevinstaley2656]

hey thanx for this post didn't realize this was a thing in game im veteran sharpshooter so we'll see what kind of hoops i gotta jump through. may not be the place for this but um: Blood For The Blood God!!

[@loganmcdougall8647]

Do auras stack on the same characters because 4 zealots would be insane

[@milkandcookiesTW]

no if its the same passive with the same name it doesn't stack

[@Mestari1Gaming]

22:03 I love the Ogryn Heavy Stubber!

[@treystorz3181]

I am looking for the most team support potential among the classes. And it seams that the Veteran might be it. At the moment.

[@Rohtix]

I wish the Ogryn grenade trait, where it breaks open against an armored target, was default. Picking that over bleed is a no brainer, especially when you get like, one or two grenades a game and the two bosses so far aren't armored. Also, is lynchpin and towering presence worth it? It feels really nice, but the multihit toughness regen is good too

[@SilentNight115]

I'm already looking forward to the Pusfume dlc, the only friendly skaven friend-thing

[@Thomas-ts9tp]

Was chastise the wicked nerfed? I'm only getting 50% toughness restored instead of all the toughness restored. Not sure if it's a bug or if they stealth nerfed it.

[@Mhoward008]

Yep, there are nerfs across the board. This videos info already needs to be heavily revised.

[@milkandcookiesTW]

@@Mhoward008 a lot of talents and abilities are bugged right now, either not working properly, at all, or assigning incorrect values. so I would give it a few days to have them fix things instead of assuming its all intentional nerfs

[@billdylan1600]

Veteran with a bolter felt nice , right klick aim for one shot headshots without wasting ammo, satisying the left click felt fun but only gimmiky. Didnt like plasma though, 2 shots IF the gun is fully cool downed otherwise only 1 and then your just a sitting duck doin mellee, id rather do with zealot or ogryn. Im surprised ppl dont recomend the fast firing mashinegun with no aimdown sight option ... that thing has alot of ammo per clip and takes down elites faster then all other guns with exception of bolter and plasma ofc and the huge clips also makes it possible to take care of hordesi i find myself seldom using mellee with it. I havent deep dived in other classes but psycer felt good and a ogryn with a shield and a zealot with the now buffed hammer seems legit fun too .... i dont understand those horrible ratings the game got, i do not regret buying the game at all.

[@Aussiemandias_]

Having played a bunch of psyker using j_sat's guide made during the earlier beta 11:14 seems to be untrue. Brain burst doesn't seem to explode you unless you start channelling above the 97.5% identified in the beta. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is how I've been playing the class without issue.

[@vaporsouls6752]

Cant wait to get my hands on an Accatran pattern lasgun, wanna larp as an elysian paratrooper

[@Moogle]

would be cool to see how you'd progress each skill tree, like I imagine some things wouldnt be worth it until you have other things

[@PPKinguin]

Made me rethink my first class to level.

[@Deviljho5]

Great video!

[@Tentacl]

I hate to say that because I want to play flamethrowers a lot, but the zealot probably would have more use in longer ranged weapons. It's not like Satzpre greathammer, er, thunderhammer isn't able to deal with hordes.

[@michaeltrost9048]

highest dps right over the psy is in my pov the veteran with a bolter gun and skill acitvate you shred an full amored ogryn in about a second , without well aimed headys

[@krelekari]

Zealot can Regen *all* armor but psykers ability got nerfed to only reset 50% of their warp gauge now :c

[@glorymmo]

zealot also got the "nerf". quite certain both are unintended since both skills tooltips still say regen all/reset all

[@boxcarpilot30]

12:30 this seems to be NO longer true for Psykers, Line of Sight is needed, If I hide, I will loose the lock on halo, and it will fail to blow their heads

[@Jinir]

works for me, i hold left click also

[@darthmaul5543]

My question is if I want to look like an imperial guardsmen can I choose any class or does the imperial guardsmen specifically have to be the veteran

[@neogoterra]

From what I've seen there are three classes, psyker, ogryn, and everyone else.

[@MrSpacat]

I wish ogryins were able to pick up barrels in the map a throw em at the enemy like in vermintide.
