It is literally a reskinned copy of Vermintide 2. with some extra effects. Melee feels OP for a human Ogryn is way underwhelming seeing how they should be pound for pond stronger than Space Marines in power armor. Psyker is fun, but with a very limited arsenal of viable abilities It made sense for melee to be front an center in vermintide, it makes sens in Space Marine, it does not make sense for Darktide to have such an emphasis on melee for all classes. It is like the developers were dreaming they were making an SM game and forgot they are making a game about mortals in 40k

[@EepsayYukay]

It's pretty humbling how most of the bosses in Darktide are enemies that Space Marines would brush off with minimal effort, and the Rejects are considered VERY resilient for humies (granted they also have Ogryns and Psykers, which might be the key for dealing with bigger threats)

[@Jestnarr]

Lore wise... if a space marine doesnt have a psy- damper implant or a particularly powerful soul, a psyker just has to focus, snap with his finger and head goes pop. Brain is brain, flesh is flesh and the flesh is weak, especialy when an explosion spontaniously manifests in the middle of it. And the ogryns? Are stronger then unarmoured space marines, though Ogryn strenght is much more unfocused, rendering it much less effective and even more inefficient. Gameplay wise however... 50 brain burst for this random traitor captain. And a hundred ripper canon shots to da face.

[@themelon_1785]

Not really...Im pretty sure beasts of nurgle & daemon hosts in this game are much stronger than space marines, it's just that for gameplay purposes, they're weaker, but a daemon host or beast of nurgle could defeat a squad of space marines

[@weareharbinger914]

Honestly, most bosses wouldn't be a problem if they also didn't come with refractor fields. Even most space marines don't have those or a way to counter them particularly effectively outside of 'hit it really hard'. The minibosses are chewed through with similar efficiency if you have a full team good at the game, even on Damnation. Its actually how i got the 'kill a monstrosity in 5 seconds' achievement. 4 veterans with the brittleness blessing on a boltgun literally shredded it down after spamming krak grenades.

[@consolescrub4031]

@@themelon_1785 Warp shenanigans. You get daemonhosts in many different tier levels. Eisenhorn's best friend/constant problem oneshot a titan and there was a particularly powerful one which was predicted to be a threat to the sector enough that it had a whole cult around it. Unsurprisingly those guys aren't common and anyone with some degree of control of them probably wouldn't risk them for a single world which might simply be destroyed if the fight appears unwinnable. (Also as a general rule, they really don't like being bound and may deliberately get themselves killed if their controller doesn't keep a tight enough grip.) I would expect the majority of daemonhosts found in regular imperium conflicts to probably go down to a solid decapitation or volley of fire although it's going to be bad news for you while that happens. Can't really talk for Beasts of Nurgle but knowing other daemons have rankings and hierarchy (Skarbrand being generally considered the strongest Bloodthirster for example) it wouldn't surprise me if weaker, more opportunistic daemons show up first hoping to grab a little bit of extra power while the stronger daemons are delayed protecting their existing power bases.

However, he had previously rigged the dock they were standing on with explosives so he kind of had them in a draw. I don't remember if he technically won the challenge/test but he certainly gained the Marines respect for creative thinking.

Gaunt himself shoved a chainsword through a World Eater's breastplate in the first book, and that is just not happening with the modern ceramite vs human-operated-chainsword matchup. The Ghosts are pretty damn elite though, punching well above their weight thanks to good tactics and heroism. And Mkoll is the best of them by far. Spoilers for the last book: He kinda ends the whole fucking war on his own after getting captured by the Archenemy, overpowering some guards, breaking out a few more prisoners, and then bombing the Archenemy command centre, killing most of their senior officers and personally chasing their overlord through a warp portal to shove a mine down his throat. This was COMPLETELY UNPLANNED. Sly Marbo is overrated, Mkoll is INSANE.

A big difference in enemies in Darktide and Space Marines 2, is the main foes you fight for your life in Darktide literally explode by running into them in Space Marine 2

If you need great lines to yell at your friends when playing Space Marine 2 or Darktide look no further than Dawn of War 1 & 2 (thb I don't know about 3 didn't really played it) My favorites include: Your friends idle around? "Don't linger, guardsman!" Enemies attack? "Show me what counts as furry by your misbegotten kind!" or "Hammer of the Emperor, attack" for a counter charge.

[@SuperhotdogZz]

“Brother I’m pinned here!!!”😂

[@ryon5174]

My favorite lines were definitely “WITNESS YOUR DOOM” “SHOW ME WHAT PASSES AS FURY AMONGST YOUR MISBEGOTTEN KIND” “DESTROY THEM” “Deep Striking” “FORWARD YOU DOGS, TO VICTORY” “GLORY TO THE FIRST MAN TO DIE” “THE ENEMY WISHES TO FIGHT BROTHER” “DO YOU HEAR THE VOICES TOO?” “THIS ERRAND IS BENEATH ME” “Ah, a challenge worthy of my skill” “If you will not serve in combat, then you will serve on the firing line” “Very well, but use me wisely”

Naming my ogryn "Bruh" has led to some of the funniest interactions. Some BS happens and a player just expresses "bruh" into chat because they are downed for some reason and i just whiplash them with a "yes?". It catches them off guard so many times.

a chaos space marine should be an environmental hazard, like you just spend the whole mission running away from him and putting obstacles in his way.

[@Reikito99]

15:44 the codex astartes does not support that claim

[@jonahpaley5725]

Even with Home Alone levels of prep time, a Plague Marine would easily kill all of you. First of all, just being around it would probably kill you because they are hosts to nurgle's very favorite diseases. Second, they are the most durable kind of space marine, to the point where "dead" plague marine's will just get up after a minute and keep fighting as their wounds reknit. Third, they still have the reflexes and accuracy of a space marine (and are even stronger than a normal space marine) and many have been fighting since the Horus Heresy.

The lore about orkz manifesting also work for the other side, so if some sect or specific enemy becomes well known enough they could gain powers or something while fighting the orkz. Like one of the warbosses that got a laser shooting eye because of a rumor.

[@2MeterLP]

Fun fact about orks: That they can think things into reality when enough of them believe it isnt canon. The fandom is trying to get enough people to believe it to think it into canon.

Their cars work without gas, their ships have open windows in space, their guns are just metal scraps welded together. And yet, they still work.
