SECRET HARD MODE WIN | The Orthus Offensive Event | Darktide Anniversary Update | Zealot

Unlocking and completing the secret hard mode in the new Orthus Offensive event. Should have had the bells at the start to take us there immediately but they didnt spawn, had to go from scratch. Great boss fight, hard as nails.

I got this literally at random because some kind soul decided to ring the bells without telling us. I thought hard mode was the standard damnation difficulty.

[@vrhkrv4696]

Well done. I managed to do it with a group of randoms today. We decided to kill the ranged boss first to get rid of the annoying grenades asap.

[@ginjaBRETTman]

Ive done a couple runs since this first one and yeah, I have to agree, killing the ranged guy first is much easier in the long run.

[@dragosfronea2783]

Sweet vid! For the love of the Emperor I have been trying for 2 days straight to beat hard mode and cant find a team for the life of me :(

[@AngeryCrow]

Not many people goes for Rinda first, I applaud your team for that.

[@ginjaBRETTman]

This was our first run of hard mode so we didnt really have much of a strat, to be fair. Thanks though.

[@deano_bites]

Missions really give a good challenge and fun , can be very hard at times but that depends hope more maps come

[@etcetc2478]

I have ptsd from this hard mode

[@gutstheberserkerr]

hard mode is genuinely so cancer. I find it impossible

[@TheHeretic0099]

Skill issue, XD

[@shenbepis2380]

What Evisercator blessings and perks do you take? That shield got shredded

[@ginjaBRETTman]

Builds in the description. Unyielding damage as a perk always helps with bosses which I think (not 100%) applies here as well.

[@Arkhestra]

miss ya big man

[@loafofbread9400]

game looks alot easier with the health bars and the cooldown on ability, wonder why fatshark didnt want to include atleast the cooldown counter

[@ginjaBRETTman]

Game devs, in general, these days tend to not want to show you the numbers for anything. Got it in their head that it's more 'user friendly' to just have vague ui.

[@kaa-or6kj]

because all Warhammer games developers are green skins

[@leanerbane4006]

nice play but you should have dropped or given your ammo box to someone else who need it the most

[@seancampbell3895]

How is this hard mode? I didn't see you or hear any of your teammates ring any bells.

[@ginjaBRETTman]

The big lad was doing the bells. You can tell its hard mode by the red aura around the boss' heads and the waves of Elites spawning. Also the penance popping at the end...

[@seancampbell3895]

I've yet to beat hard mode so I'm confused.. you're reward for it is the same one I got on damnation. Not hating. It's impossible to interpret text, just honestly curious.@@ginjaBRETTman

[@shadowuk163]

what mods you rolling with?

[@ginjaBRETTman]

In the description for you.

[@xGarrusV]

Is there any reason to do this besides the charm?

[@ginjaBRETTman]

Masochism, I guess...

[@stek557]

This isn’t the hard mode btw 😅

[@ginjaBRETTman]

It is though...

[@DrPhil-vw2pq]

⁠@@ginjaBRETTmanit’s not though you didn’t get the gold insignia and we’re still able to revive allies, in hard mode if someone goes down at the boss fight they’re out for the rest of the game. Unless this is a different hard mode

[@ginjaBRETTman]

@@DrPhil-vw2pq No. It is the secret hard mode... The bosses have the red aura around their heads, the insignia is the extra gold one, extra waves of elites are spawning during the finale and the teammate who died was inside the prison cell where you cannot revive them.

[@conmadben]

This is BS mission.

[@JorgeGarcia-sc4tp]

I did it in the first try with randoms. Idk why u all say its hard

[@hkl4dplayer]

You sure that wasn't just a normal damnation? If not then those randoms are like the best at the game.

[@louiskitching8806]

Do you get anything cosmetic for completing hard mode even? I completed regular damnation and got the tag next to the border I don't see anything special for completing hard mode other than a penance completion which is kinda lame...

[@ginjaBRETTman]

You get a slightly more golden version of the Damnation insignia. Thats all sadly...

[@RatKing2137]

Gaymer keychain and that's it, any good cosmetic is reserved for their shop :')
