My personal favourite is the Zealot, dashing at enemies in-between volleys to bring them into melee.ĭarktide is Fatshark's most comprehensive iteration of their co-op combat yet: fast and fluid as you move point-to-point, threat-to-threat. A Veteran Sharpshooter might pick off ranged units from a distance, or the Ogryn may use their riot shield to tank incoming shots for the squad. They’ll be just beyond your smacking range, and as you try to close the distance and get shot up, you’ll understand Darktide's challenge.ĭealing with distance and ranged enemies is the game's most significant hurdle, but there are multiple ways to approach it. As you happily slaughter your way through Tertium’s cramped corridors and gloomy halls with an array of 40K weapons, you’ll eventually come face-to-face with a squad of heretic troopers armed with guns.

Your Reject is never far beyond the realms of suspicion.
