Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is the game that keeps on giving as developer Fat Shark drops the latest free content patch early. The Unlocked and Loaded Update introduces a wealth of new features for the co-op shooter, including the long-awaited overhaul of the game's itemization system, an original mission type designed for more cinematic sessions, and a new social system that should help players who lack a dedicated group. The changes and additions are extensive, particularly in of the game's equipment, so interested s are encouraged to browse the patch notes thoroughly.
Per Fat Shark, Darktide's itemization system has been extensively reworked to give players more freedom in what weapons they want to use and improve.
The developer describes the rework as taking the previous system and making it more accessible to s without dropping the strategy and tactics associated with progression in Darktide. The introduction of Mastery and Power are being used to facilitate this change; Similar to games like Destiny, Power will allow players to upgrade and improve their gear by trading in resources at the Shrine of the Omnissiah while Mastery grants experience points by simply using their weapon.
What Else Is New In Darktide: Unlocked And Loaded?
Some Much-Needed Upgrades
As far as Mastery is concerned, acquired experience also results in three different types of rewards: Blessing Points, Weapon Marks, and Perks. These features will be necessary for players wanting to hold their own in the new mission type as Operations will present squads with shorter, high-octane, cinematic battles. The first of these is Rolling Steel, which challenges players to stop a moving train hijacked by cultists; The Operation is timed so it's best to get to work and improvise rather than waste time strategizing.
The final major improvement included in the Unlocked and Loaded Update is the Party Finder. This feature will allow players to discover a group of like-minded s with a handy search function that categorizes parties based on Game Mode, Difficulty, Language, and various Tags to further refine the results. Considering how essential cooperation is to the Darktide experience, having the option to find a group should hopefully open the game up to more people.

This special game mode runs from September 26 through to October 10 and will see squads Plasteel, Diamantine, and Docket, so players wanting to gather as many resources as possible should prioritize Unrelenting Hordes.
