Every Elite Enemy in Warhammer 40k Darktide Explained

[@TacticalTortoise]

Thanks for watching! Check out my original Darktide tips video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZuaiYarlNiIi8U

[@ShumaBot]

This was super comprehensive, I didn't even realize poxwalkers did corruption.

[@2DEKAY]

Really wish fatshark did a guide on these unknown factors... I wonder if it's done intentionally to force people to produce content about the game, like this video does. Any press is good press 🧐

18:10 I reckon the reapers are using a duel heavy stubber, as it's the same model, with slight recoloring, as the weapon used by friendly Ogryns

[@vibeoclock703]

Cool way to safely avoid pox hounds as Zealot is to use chastise the wicked at the dog! I do this in packs when I hear one tucked away

[@vokkera6995]

Honestly all of the class specials work pretty well against them, for that matter

[@jusa297]

Death, fire, renewal! Death, fire, renewal! Death, fire, renewal!

[@rellwalker8624]

yo I HATE THE PLAGUE HOUND AND TRAPPER LIKE THEY ARE THE WORST. Also the best way to deal with a hound up close is by pushing them. It works 100% of the time

[@GorillerViller]

honestly, mutants are pretty easy to deal with. My hammer instakills mutants at difficulty 4 (havent tried 5) in 1 swing, so I charge up and ready a heavy attack to hit them right as they hit me.

[@TacticalTortoise]

Yeah, the right weapon really makes short work of them

[@ronkledonkanusmoncher564]

Bolter go brrrrr

[@Esitler1]

Thanks trevy! These are super helpful

[@Pandora_1312]

I don't expect them to ever put this in the game but wouldn't it be cool if you could bat grenades out of the air with relatless attacks

[@pepsiman1043]

How about also if you do that run and knock down enemy thing it also knocks grenades away and shield bash too

[@sneaky5141]

there is terrible advice in here; you should always kill a trapper before freeing your team else you risk them ALSO trapping you. always dodge *and* immediately press slide for anything youre trying to dodge like a dog leap or mutant charge/trapper net, it covers more distance than a regular dodge just dont forget to stand up again straight after always mark priority targets so if you mark a trapper dont mark a rager immediately after until the trapper is dead; you can only have 1 marked enemy per player marking and you dont want to prioritise a melee elite over a dog, trapper or sniper DO NOT run "away" from any enemy but ESPECIALLY not flamers omg what awful advice (you take much more damage from backstabs, yes ranged weapons can backstab not just melee) before you dive into hordes for melee fun time do a quick scan around the outskirts of the melee enemies for gunner and shotgunners shotgunners will SHRED your toughness and if youre inexperienced theyre deceptively the least threatening looking elites but if they chip your toughness and then you take a melee hit or two youre in bits ^you have a ranged weapon for a reason take out gunners before leaping into the brawl

[@KameradArktis]

dodge the opposite side of the mutants big arm much easier

[@TheNertus]

4:33 i donno buddy, but bolt gun can do that pretty easy ;-)

[@tylerlawrence1997]

A moment of silence for every Mobian snipers that have killed by high velocity rocks

[@vibeoclock703]

Appreciate the video

[@doctorstrangepants6706]

Are any psyker warp abilities affected by armor? Soulflame, brainburst, staff abilities, charged warp swords, etc?

[@SaberRiko]

The shields will block them, and some are reduced by other armors too I've noticed. The Surge staff actually is not I believe, in fact mine does pretty massive damage to flak and carapace, especially after I upgraded it, and it staggers almost anything effectively except for monstrosities and assassination targets. The Trauma staff (the circle explosion) can knock Ogryn off their feet but I wouldn't say it makes it worth using tbh unless you really like it. I don't think (?) Brain Burst gets affected by armor, but the damage of it also doesn't scale well so it gets less effective as you go to higher difficulties, so it's not necessarily a better option than a good Surge Staff for example.

[@JesusRodriguez-cm6oo]

This game is a blast

[@thrusty9941]

3 full minutes later: contwnt actually starts

[@cyberleaderandy1]

Good stuff. I absolutely hate snipers and will pound one into the ground if i corner one 😂

[@GerdionXT]

Good traper is a ded traper

[@deathshadow7105]

11:34 Kinky

[@fredericbrasseur7399]

Accatran Reckon Lasgun against Maniacs? Right... I think you need to get more into the weapons damage tables before speaking about how armour works.

[@pedropierre9594]

Its not rocket science i think he expects you to use your brain

[@fredericbrasseur7399]

​@@pedropierre9594 It's not rocket science and yet he is adding fictional rules to armour classes and he uses the Reckon Lasgun as an exemple to deal with Maniacs when that weapon is not effective against that category at all. My point is, for someone who doesn't know better, this is very misleading and he should just scrap those "general rules", because they do not exist and there are plenty of weapons that can show otherwise.

[@JM-yq9gd]

I had no idea about maniac armor, which is funny, because I main a recon lasgun, so it wouldn't be an issue for me either way.
