Fatshark has released a substantial free update for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, arriving alongside the new paid Skitarii class DLC. The update introduces fresh challenges, including the shielded Scab and Dreg Vanguard enemies, and kicks off a new ‘Relics in Ruins’ mission event.

Beyond the new class and foes, players can expect significant quality-of-life improvements, including new controller layouts, a third-person inspection camera, and a reworked shared pool system for Tech-Remnants. The patch also brings balance adjustments across the board, notably reducing the frequency of Bulwark enemies in missions.
