Warhammer 40k Darktide Unveils Major Update with New COD Zombies-Inspired Arena Mode

These days, Space Marine 2 is stealing the limelight with its thrilling chaos, but let’s not forget the irresistible tug of Warhammer 40k Darktide. For those who relish chopping through Tyrannid hordes, dismantling Nurgle’s forces offers its own twisted charm. Though Darktide took some time to hit its groove, the latest expansion, Nightmares and Visions, is an enticing invitation to return to Tertium. This new DLC brings an adrenaline-pumping mode called the Mortis Trials, reminiscent of Call of Duty Zombies, along with some much-anticipated updates to the Havoc mode. And guess what? It’s available right now.

Let’s dive into the details of the Mortis Trials. Masterminded by the game’s cunning Psyker, Sefoni, this mode throws you into wave after wave of nightmarish foes in a format that echoes a roguelike game. Accessible from level 13, you’ll face 12 increasingly tough rounds, and every third wave tosses in an additional task to tackle alongside your monstrous enemies. Think Call of Duty’s Zombies with a fresh twist, allowing for endless replays. Choose your strategy with various power-ups known as Indulgences to mix up the experience.

At the start, you’ll choose from these Indulgences, each offering a unique twist to your gameplay. Opt for Pyrokinetic for fiery attacks, Voltaic for electrifying moves, or switch it up with Fulminator, blending elements of fire and electricity. If you fancy close combat, try Death Dealer, or bolster your defenses with Colossus. These choices add depth to the Mortis Trials, providing enough variety to make multiple playthroughs worthwhile.

But it’s not all about the shiny new mode; the tried-and-true Havoc is getting a handy upgrade. For those who thrill in end-game content, the new Campaigns provide a fresh rotation of mission pools and mutators, as reported by Fatshark. This revamp also includes a reworked progression system for a more fulfilling experience.

Meanwhile, the Ogryn class is getting a significant overhaul, shaking off its old limitations. Previously boxed into relying on heavy attacks, the updated talent tree now offers versatility, allowing for light attack builds. Plus, if holding the line is your style, the tank options are now more robust.

The Nightmares and Visions update for Warhammer 40k Darktide is here, free for all players, offering a refreshed experience filled with thrills.
