Warhammer 40,000: Darktide’s new update Nightmares And Visions is available right now. The best part about this new update is that it is absolutely free if you already own the game.
There are two main modes mentioned in this release trailer. The first one is a brand new wave based mode called the Mortis Trials.
Wave-based feature: upon reaching level 13, rejects will be able to mash through waves of enemies in visions induced by the ship’s Psyker, Sefoni. Each time players venture into the Psyker’s visions, they will be able to build new and exciting playstyles by selecting randomized abilities and buffs for the duration of the trial.
Choose Your Indulgence, Shape Your Playstyle – Before the battle begins, players select an Indulgence, each offering unique buffs that enhance combat styles. Pyrokinetic and Voltaic focus on elemental damage, Fulminator blends both, Death Dealer excels in close-quarters ranged and melee combat, and Colossus boosts survivability.
Trials of Endurance – Mortis Trials unfold in 12 escalating waves, with every third wave introducing an objective to complete. Success grants supplies and stronger buffs, culminating in a final gauntlet where players unleash their full potential.
Uncover lore and backstories: by overcoming the Mortis Trials, players will unlock memory echoes, granting them access to secret information on some of the main characters present on the Mourningstar. -Press Release
The second mode mentioned was Havoc Mode. This is already in the main game but the update adds a new refresh to this mode. There will be new campaigns in Havoc mode and the progression system will be getting an overhaul.
