A huge update for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is out today from Fatshark. The update, Path of Redemption, is free to everyone that owns the game. It adds in a new reward system and near completely overhauls the previous penances system.
The update adds in over 200 new penances for players to complete and over 100 new earnable rewards such as insignias, portrait frames, emotes, poses, trinkets, and other cosmetics. Players can now earn new titles that can be displayed next to their character names. There are also new puzzles, challenges, collectibles, a new enemy, a new condition, and there is now even a way to change some of the background info for an already created character.
The huge list of changes can be read in their entirety on the Darktide website. I would normally post the entire thing below but it's a bit of a formatting nightmare when pasting it here. The highlights of the update can still be found below though.
- A new free way to collect rewards: penance points will now count towards a progression track composed of 40+ tiers, allowing players to unlock earnable rewards.
- A new home for penances in the Mourningstar: Hestia will be in charge of keeping a record of the rejects’ penances and will join the rest of the Mourningstar crew in voice-overs during missions.
- 200+ new penances: a slew of new penances will be added to the game for players to complete. These will be divided into new categories.
- 100+ new earnable rewards: these will include new insignias, portrait frames, emotes, poses, weapon trinkets, and cosmetics such as the loyalist Moebian 6th outfits.
- New reward type - titles: allowing players to brag about their most impressive achievements.
- Improved penance UI and menu: allowing players to better track 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, hurling Blight Grenades filled with toxic fumes.
- New condition: Pox Gas will join the roster of conditions that can spread across Tertium. Recommendation: don't breathe too deeply.
- The Personality Scourge: players will have the option to change additional aspects of your operative (background, height, name, and voice) in exchange for ordo dockets.​
