The latest update for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is here and so are the changes it offers. Patch 5 is more focused on balancing changes and tweaks to existing content, which is good news for many players.
You will now be alerted when your Strike Team members collect Plasteel or Diamantine through a sound cue. Additionally, a screen notification will display the name of the player and the resources collected. All looted resources will also be visible in the Tactical Overlay, accessible by pressing the Tab button.
The rest of the highlights of the update are mentioned below.
- Feat: Payback Time
- “When an enemy damages you, gain 20% damage against enemies of the same type for 5s.” has been changed to “When an enemy damages you with a melee attack, gain +20% damage for 5s”
- Feat: Lead the Charge
- Now also grants Stun Immunity and Suppression Immunity to allies for the duration of the buff.
- Feat: Warp Unleashed
- Damage Bonus increased: from 5-15% to 10-25%.
- Feat: Wrack and Ruin
- Increased stacks of Soulblaze applied as well as the radius: Stacks: 2 > 3 Radius: 3 meters > 4 meters.

- Lorenz Mk V Kickback - Expandable
- Melee Power Bonus now also affects your regular melee weapon, not just the Special Action melee attack. The bonus values have been tuned down to account for this, and the duration has been lowered slightly (4s > 3.5s).

- Tier 4: 12.5% > 24%
- “Savage Sweep” Blessing
- Fixed a bug where the Munitorum Mk III Power Sword didn't show the correct values in the description text
- Fixed an issue where the Tier 4 Blessing didn’t give players 50% as intended.
