What's new in the Path of Redemption update for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide
- A new free way to get rewards : Penance points will now count towards a progression track made up of more than 40 levels, allowing players to unlock rewards to earn.
- A new home for penances in the Mourningstar : Hestia will be responsible for keeping a record of the penances of the rejected and will join the rest of the crew of the Mourningstar in voiceover during missions.
- More than 200 new penances : A multitude of new penances will be added to the game for players to complete. They will be divided into new categories.
- Over 100 new rewards to earn : These will include new badges, portrait frames, emotes, poses, weapon trinkets, and cosmetics such as the Loyalist 6th Moebian outfits.
- New type of reward : titles, which allow players to brag about their most impressive exploits.
- Improved the interface and the penance menu : Players can better track their penances and progress toward rewards.
- New puzzles, challenges and collectibles : We are adding several puzzles across Tertium Hive for players to discover and solve.
- New enemy : The Dreg Tox Bomber will join the ranks of the heretics, launching burn grenades filled with toxic fumes.
- New condition : Pox gas is added to the list of diseases that can spread on Tertium. Recommendation: do not breathe too deeply.
- The scourge of personality : players will have the possibility to modify additional aspects of their agent (origin, size, name and voice) in exchange for order sheets.
After a complicated launch, it's good to see that the studio is doing everything necessary to improve the player experience. Remember that since its debut more than a year ago, numerous weapons have been added, as well as monstrosities, new missions, without forgetting the total overhaul of the progression system.
Following this update, which will be available later today, Fatshark will be working on an overhaul of the current item allocation process. Much of the unpredictable grind is going to be ditched to give players more autonomy and a steady way to progress toward specific loadouts, blessings, and stat boosts.
Throughout the year, new missions, new enemies, new weapons, new conditions and new features, as well as balance updates, quality of life additions and other surprises will be offered.
