Warhammer 40K: Darktide Update 1.084.097 Out for Battle for Tertium Content
[summaraize]
Fatshark has released a free update for all players of Warhammer 40K: Darktide. This is update number 1.084.097, and it brings the ‘Battle for Tertium’ content to the game.
Players can expect to see more trials, a new campaign, and much more. Check out some of the highlights of the patch below.
Warhammer 40K: Darktide Update 1.084.097 Brings Battle for Tertium
The Battle for Tertium
The core player experience has been reworked to provide a new clearer narrative focus, following the conflict of the Battle for Tertium. Players will now experience a linear campaign with new mission debriefs and embedded cinematics. This new progression path is designed to ease in new players and gradually unlock features that were previously gated by character level.
While previously each new player’s experience was completely random, the Battle for Tertium narrative presents maps, enemies and characters in a specific order, allowing players to discover all aspects of the game at a much better pace.
The story missions play the same as regular missions, except that these missions have a more tight control over which enemies spawn. You might also hear some new VO lines during missions, and some brand new mission debrief cinematics when completing each mission.
Existing players with characters at level 10 or higher can choose to skip the story or play it from the beginning. Players who change their minds about playing the campaign can opt out by using the Personality Scourge at the Barber-Chirurgeon. Note: If you decide to skip the story when you first log-in with this update, you cannot revert this decision. The only way to play the story after choosing to skip it is to create a new character. Additional note: The option to replay story missions at any time is still in progress.
It is worth noting that the Arbites’ arrival takes place after the events of the Battle for Tertium, so while you can absolutely play as an Arbites through the new campaign (once the class releases, later today!), some of the story scenes will not be addressed to your type of character. For this reason, we suggest playing the Battle for Tertium for the first time with one of the core characters.
Mortis Trials
The Secrets of the Shipmistress
Sefoni’s indiscretions are getting worse! During Mortis Trials, keen-eared Rejects now have the opportunity to sift pieces of Shipmistress Brahms’ past from the psychic chatter. How did she inherit the Mourningstar? What is she hiding? Is she really on the same side as Grendyl, let alone his irksome busybodies? Delve deeper into all these and more across dozens of new memory echoes, unlockable by claiming victory in the Mortis Trials!
Dev Note: If you’ve ever wanted to relisten to the memory echoes you’ve unlocked in the Mortis Trials, you should take a look behind the pillars in the Meat Grinder.
New difficulty for Mortis Trials
Since the release of Mortis Trials we have noticed people requesting a higher challenge in Mortis Trials! So, we are adding a new difficulty, Auric, as well as some other small changes.
-
There will now be a shorter time in between waves.
-
Waves will now have more enemies and enemy types increasing variety.
-
We are changing the base difficulty to match an Auric difficulty mission.
New In-Game Event: Inferno
The streets of Tertium are aflame. Whether by heretic plot or over-zealous Imperial enforcement makes no real difference. Missions must still run, so be careful down there. You’re literally dropping into a hot zone.
Havoc Maintenance: With the upcoming release of this update, Havoc will be unavailable from June 23, 2025 from 00:00 to approximately 12:00 UTC.
